A tiny metallic jumping spider (Sassacus papenhoei) prepares to strike at an aphid on the developing bloom of a giant coneflower (Rudbeckia maxima) in Nacogdoches Couny, Texas.
Technically, this image is still on theme with my yellow composite series. The drama here is unfolding on a developing bloom of Rudbeckia maxima, which is an impressive yellow coneflower that can reach heights of seven feet or more.
The real subject, however is a tiny jumping spider, Sassacus papenhoei, that is only a few millimeters long. Here it is eyeing an aphid, which it fully intends to eat. I watched it strike twice, leaping onto his quarry from the budded disk flowers, but the aphid proved to be a bit more than it could handle. I really like watching events like this unfold through the lens. It makes me feel like an impartial observer to a hidden world that very few get to witness, where millions of tiny dramas are unfolding around us every day.

I'm stampolina and I love to take photos of stamps. Thanks for visiting this pages on flickr.
I'm neither a typical collector of stamps, nor a stamp dealer. I'm only a stamp photograph. I'm fascinated of the fine close-up structures which are hidden in this small stamp-pictures. Please don't ask of the worth of these stamps - the most ones have a worth of a few cents or still less.
By the way, I wanna say thank you to all flickr users who have sent me stamps! Great! Thank you! Someone sent me 3 or 5 stamps, another one sent me more than 20 stamps in a letter. It's everytime a great surprise for me and I'm everytime happy to get letters with stamps inside from you!
thx, stampolina
For the case you wanna send also stamps - it is possible. (...I'm pretty sure you'll see these stamps on this photostream on flickr :) thx!

I am having the ultimate boring, lazy day.
Got home last last night from the drive-in, saw G I Joe: which is awesome, not impartially due to Channing Tatum running about for 2 hours clenching his jaw and looking gorgeous; and District 9, which I actually hated so much I proceeded to roll over and cover myself with blankets and go to sleep after the first 15 minutes.
I don't know why, but I didn't like it, and I didn't like it at all.
The hubby woke up feeling sick this morning, so he's been sprawled on the couch with the aid of Xbox and UFC. I picked up around the house for a bit and watched some tv in the bedroom before spending the last..oh...4 hours sitting here and flipping between a notepad full of html and GIMP editing this.....thing I've posted up there.
hee.
So yeah. Unexciting, yet again? haha. Okay, I'm gonna go watch some more tv before I do something lazy like order pizza......*grin*
I'd feel bad about still being in my pj's right now, but hell, it's a three day weekend. I'll do something productive tomorrow. ;-)

Le fort de Bertheaume arbitre impartiale d'une partie de cache-cache entre le soleil et des nuages chargés de pluie.
Do you know how hard it is to find one of these stickers on anything these days? Of course you do! It's even harder to find one that says Made in Canada. I make a point of trying to buy things that are labelled Made In USA or Made in Canada. If you can manage to find such products, I can assure you they are of much, much better quality than their counterparts made elsewhere. And, I can personally give you example upon example!
For years now, long before this election, I've been totally amazed that US citizens have allowed their elected representatives to let their steel mills, auto factories, and other manufacturing industries move out of the country. Quite a few tourists from the US pass through this province during the summer and if I have occasion to speak to any of them, I always ask them to explain it to me. Most that I've spoken to have difficulty doing that. Don't like it, but can't really explain why the electorate didn't do anything about it.
Well, now, you have a President Elect that has at least brought the problem to the forefront... and that, of course is always the first step ... and has promised to do something about it. ( And, as far as his cabinet is concerned, I hope he picks Trey Gowdy as his Attorney General]
I, for one, hope he does do something about it. If I were American, I would definitely have voted for him. And even though, I'm not ... around 4:30 AM local time this morning after watching the results all night, I was wishing I had an American flag. If I had had one, I would definitely have gone out and run it up the flagpole on my front lawn.
A couple of other things to note: From as far back as I can remember, the media has never been biased, never took one side or the other, was always fair and impartial. That is certainly not so anymore. And that is definitely too bad. CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, and FOX have lost all credibility! They are now trying to be king makers ... or in this case, I guess I should say queen maker ... instead of just reporting the news and not trying to make it. And last night they were so, so surprised that that it didn't go their way. Couldn't figure out why it didn't. Well, I for one, was delighted about that!
And to all those pathetic second rate celebrities that threatened to move to Canada if Trump won, let me say this: You need to get behind your new president and give him your support when he tries to make America the manufacturing giant it once was. Instead of running away. And we all know you aren't going to run away, anyway. It's the country that made you what you are. You're all talk, no action. And you know what? Are you sure Canada wants you? I, for one, don't! For me, loyalty is one of the most important qualities you can have. And if you run away, or try to run away, you certainly don't have it! [ Which reminds me of the former point ... I watched the results on ABC last night. Do you know George Stephanopoulos gave $75,000 to the Clinton campaign. He can really be impartial now, can't he? His wife, by the way, said they will be moving to Australia if Trump won. How much would you bet that happens? Would loved to have been able to ask him as the results came in last night if he had his airline ticket bought yet :-) ]
And then there's others like Robert de Niro. I don't think he threatened to move to Canada, but he certainly disgraced himself. He's a has been ... consigned to acting in crap like Dirty Grandpa. And he should know better! Remember when he made The Deer Hunter back in 1978? Got an Academy Award nomination for that one. A lot of steel mill towns in Ohio and Pennsylvania stood in for the fictitious town in that movie. Bet those towns were a lot more prosperous back then than they are now. Maybe he saw that? Maybe he should go back and look at them now? Maybe he should listen to the man who wants to do something about that. Meanwhile, what is he planning to do? Look for another B-movie script ... probably worse than Bad Grandpa?
By the way, if you think I don't know anything about American politics, let me assure you I definitely do! And, as far as this election is concerned, I've been keeping up with the developments almost daily for months now.

17th century chapel
It is placed on the wild coast, and is a jewel of our religious heritage. Thanks to the action of the association, it can be often open and very many visitors, hikers (the chapel is located on the edge of the GR 34), and tourists can thus gather there for a few moments.
The chapel is open every day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., from Palm Sunday to All Saints' Day and during the Christmas holidays. Outside these periods, the chapel is open every Sunday.
This small chapel isolated on the moor a few steps from a superb coast attracts many visitors.
But it is not alone: a Gallic stele stands not far from the entrance and a fountain, visible along the coastal path, attest to the antiquity of a cult at this location. Moreover, the water from the spring is always supposed to cure rheumatism and eye diseases. This heptagonal Iron Age stele was reused as a cross stand.
Note that it bears an inscription engraved on one of the sides:
TP ST GONVEL 1757.
The spring water is captured by a fountain just before flowing into the sea. It is likely that it was Christianized by the presence of a cross long before the chapel was built.
This chapel, built in 1785, was able to replace an older one. She was traditionally the goal of a Pardon of the Sea.
The interior is very sober
Two polychrome statues dominate the altar. On the left, Saint Samson wears the episcopal mitre.
Of all the many monks who came from the British Isles in the 6th century to evangelize Brittany, Saint Samson is one of the few who are well attested by history since he signed the acts of the Council of Paris around 555.1
Originally from Wales, and pupil of Saint Ildut who gave his name to Lanildut, he would have landed in Plougasnou, in the north of Finistère, where the foundation of the monastery of Lanmeur is attributed to him. He had been ordained a bishop, without a bishopric, before coming to the continent. Appointed Bishop of Dol by King Childebert 1st, he died there around the year 565. His influence throughout Brittany was such that many localities or Breton religious buildings bear his name. It is not impossible that he came to see his friend Ildut in the Pays d'Iroise.
Two other statues catch the eye in this chapel
On the left wall, Saint Isidore, the modest Spanish plowman, represents a model of a peasant who is both hardworking and very pious.
To the right of the altar, Saint Yves is dressed as a magistrate. His gaze directed towards the litigants shows them his listening while with his raised hands, he indicates to them his impartiality 2 during his judgments.
We will also take a look at the modern stained glass windows dating from 1993. On the left, Saint Anne, the mother of the Virgin, with her daughter. On the right, Saint Samson, whose bishop's crozier can be seen, heals a patient.
Ultimately, a small, modest chapel full of charm, located in an environment that is both wild and grandiose, which gives it all the qualities of a real postcard subject.

Quacks were nicknamed “advertising professors”, and many of these hustlers rose to fame and fortune by using the media to their advantage. Dr Richard Rock (c. 1690–1777) became so famous that he appears in William Hogarth's A Harlot's Progress, albeit in an unflattering light. Rock advertised his “Antivenereal Cathartic Electuary” in the press and with trade cards, and he gave out a printed “Book of plain Instructions” with every bottle. But he also sold his “itch powder” and famous “Viper Drops” from a one-horse chaise in London's Covent Garden, and so he straddles the junction of the old-fashioned world of quacks who sold remedies directly to a mob, and the new breed of marketing-savvy traders who exploited print media.
Quacks selling proprietary medicines frequently colluded with newspaper publishers, who not only ran the vendors' advertisements in their pages, but often sold the remedies on the printers' premises for a cut of the profits. Another ploy was the “puff”, which was ostensibly an article reporting impartially on the wondrous efficacy of a new drug, but which was actually a kind of “advertorial” paid for by the manufacturer of the remedy.

The Macro Mondays Queen theme
A macro of Special Constabulary insignia on an epaulette.
“I do solemnly and sincerely declare and affirm that I will well and truly serve the Queen in the office of constable, with fairness, integrity, diligence and impartiality . . ."
Thus commences the oath of affirmation taken by all who undertake the office of constable, both regular officers and 'specials'.
The Special Constabulary are volunteer police officers, who, after basic training, are accorded all the powers and responsibilities of a regular constable. They work in support of their regular colleagues but for moderate out of pocket expenses only. They conduct stops and searches, attend incidents, make arrests, direct traffic, and appear in court just as a regular officer is expected to do. Clearly, as well as the responsibilities of the role, they take the attendant aggravation too. Their uniform is identical to that of the regulars except for small insignia like that shown here. Those they deal with are unlikely to look for it, or appreciate (or care about) its meaning even if they do.
Next time you see a constable (or a cop, a peeler, a rozzer, a filth, a fed or any of the other pet names both good and bad guys have for them) , check out their shoulder. You may just be looking at somebody special.
The photo was taken using HDR techniques to emphasise texture, and was window lit with a reflector also used. A 20mm extension tube provides the macro element.
Recently, on May 30, 2009, I uploaded an image similar to this one. Much to my surprise, it was well-received by viewers. I don't know how people would take it over an edited image like this because as far as I am concerned, it obviously is presented on the unnatural side of it with color saturation pushed to the limit. It doesn’t take an expert to spot it – one can tell it is a product with the icing on the cake decorated in Photoshop or other similar software, and it is less likely coming straight from the oven. But then, who am I to stop what people would want to like?
And another surprise that took me a few long minutes to figure it out, and yet, still, I couldn't agree with, is when that particular image was shaken and baked by flickr algorithm and at the end of the day it clinched a place in EXPLORE. Oh well…. Of course I am indebted by the supports from all of you (with your visits, invites, faves and comments – thank you) and I don’t mean to disparage my own work either. But the issue I want to put forward is; others may like what we dislike, interested in what we impartial with, adore what we abhor, love what we loathe, or vice versa. Hence, my homespun assertion is that, things are neither too great nor too awful in this life. Come what may, it all takes the individuals to arbitrate what’s good or bad for them, what they like and what they don’t.
The above is a look-alike with the previously uploaded image in different composition, taken at the same place on the same day. And if you ask me, I prefer this one better with lovely silhouette of reeds to boot. But I can understand, different time, it would be received differently. That reminds me of one girl I was head-over-heel with in my younger days and I thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world but when I met her a few years ago with her six kids in tow; she no longer lives up to what I perceived of her back then. Oh yeah, perhaps I am a little confused. It’s a different issue. Age is catching up on her now.
"For the perfect idler, for the passionate observer it becomes an immense source of enjoyment to establish his dwelling in the throng, in the ebb and flow, the bustle, the fleeting and the infinite. To be away from home and yet to feel at home anywhere; to see the world, to be at the very center of the world, and yet to be unseen of the world, such are some of the minor pleasures of those independent, intense and impartial spirits, who do not lend themselves easily to linguistic definitions. The observer is a prince enjoying his incognito wherever he goes."
- Charles Baudelaire

This week, I came across not one but two articles lamenting that Flickr is dead -- one of which was written by someone who works at another online photo storage/sharing service, who I'm sure was completely impartial and not convincing people that Flickr is dead in order to boost his own interests.
And yet, here I am, still posting pictures to Flickr. Or am I? Am I going to find out by the third act that Flickr was a ghost website all along?
Also, I never used that desktop app, which assumed I would WANT to upload all of my pictures at one go. I hold onto files I don't share, because sometimes I might come across them and say "Hey, there's something here that I didn't see before," but that process requires me to be selective about my uploads.
PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.
I just like the columns.
The Court of Appeal has been in existence since 1849 and is the highest court in Quebec. In the vast majority of cases, the Court of Appeal is the final arbiter of the matters brought before it. Through its commitment to judicial independence and impartiality, and its efforts to ensure access to justice, it stands today as one of the primary bastions of the rule of law in Quebec.
We passed this fascinating fountain in the Castle Hill area, with a rather moving love story - see the lady far right.
Matthias Fountain is one of the most beautiful sculptures and fountains in Budapest. The Fountain is in the Buda Castle on the Hunyadi Court, featuring King Matthias in a royal hunting scene with a hidden love story.
King Matthias atop the Matthias Fountain Buda Castle
Matthias Fountain in Buda Castle
The story of Matthias Fountain, this amazingly ornate, beautifully crafted sculpture, is a sad, poignant love story, symbolising the human heart’s never ending hunt for happiness.
According to the legend, King Matthias Hunyadi, the fairest king of Hungary, went hunting in disguise. He was often disguised to see the true affairs of the Hungarian Kingdom. During the hunting, he met a pretty peasant girl called Beautiful Little Helen (Szep Ilonka in Hungarian). They fell in love at first sight, but when she found out that he was the king of Hungary, she realised that their love could never come complete, and consummated in a marriage, so she died from a broken heart.
The more you look at Matthias Fountain, the more details become apparent.
In the Fountain, you can see Szep Ilonka – on the right side of the Fountain – gently caressing a fragile young deer, watching the hunters in awe. King Matthias is the top figure, the young ruler is triumphantly standing with his deadly bow and arrow on the huge rock by the spring where he shot the stag, looking over his kingdom in full victory. His three dogs came to quench their thirst with fresh spring water, but just like the dogs, his huntsmen aids are on the alert, one of them ready to blow his hunting horn. The calm sitting figure on the left makes the Fountain symmetrical, he is the royal historian, free from fear, impartially writing the story of King Matthias, just as the sculptor was paying tribute to the king and his deeds.

The day before midsummer, the queen bee used to fly the enormous distance to a far-off ocean. She plunged to its depths in search of the rare sea flower: Neptune’s Clover. No other bee in all history could accomplish such a feat. For two thousand years, this same queen had gathered the rejuvenating and curative pollen from Neptune’s Clover.
As the days rolled on, the queen still had not returned. The colony was besides itself in worry and set forth to find her. They all latched their feet onto the hive, which was as large as a hill, and flapped their wings for lift off. When finally, they arrived to what they believed to be the area of Neptune’s Clover, their exhausted wings failed. The queen bee was nowhere to be seen. The hive, heavy with honey, and all its pilots fell into the sea. The two-thousand-year-old colony perished on a beautiful, calm afternoon, beneath the impartial waves.
Nowadays, bees might construct their hives in the nooks and crannies of human architecture. Unbeknownst to the people, their floating civilization is built right over the site of the sunken hive. Perhaps the bees of this century instinctively feel its presence, and so we find them in profusion adding their honeycombs to the present architecture.

The Cathedral of the Most Holy Savior and of Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist in the Lateran (Italian: Santissimo Salvatore e Santi Giovanni Battista ed Evangelista in Laterano), also known as the Papal Archbasilica of Saint John [in] Lateran, Saint John Lateran, or the Lateran Basilica, is the cathedral church of the Diocese of Rome in the city of Rome, and serves as the seat of the bishop of Rome, the pope. The archbasilica lies outside of Vatican City proper, which is located approximately 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) to the northwest. Nevertheless, as properties of the Holy See, the archbasilica and its adjoining edifices enjoy an extraterritorial status from Italy, pursuant to the terms of the Lateran Treaty of 1929.
Originally founded in 324, the church is the oldest and highest ranking of the four papal major basilicas, holding the unique title of "archbasilica". It is the oldest public church in the city of Rome, and the oldest basilica of the Western world. It houses the cathedra of the Roman bishop, and has the title of ecumenical mother church of the Roman Catholic faithful. The building deteriorated during the Middle Ages and was badly damaged by two fires in the 14th century. It was rebuilt in the late 16th century during the reign of Pope Sixtus V. The new structure's interior was renovated in the late 17th century, and its façade was completed in 1735 under Pope Clement XII.
The current rector is Cardinal Archpriest Angelo De Donatis, Vicar General for the Diocese of Rome. The President of the French Republic, currently Emmanuel Macron, is ex officio the "First and Only Honorary Canon" of the archbasilica, a title that the heads of state of France have possessed since King Henry IV.
The large Latin inscription on the façade reads: Clemens XII Pont Max Anno V Christo Salvatori In Hon SS Ioan Bapt et Evang. This abbreviated inscription translates as: "Pope Clement XII, in the fifth year [of his Pontificate, dedicated this building] to Christ the Savior, in honor of Saints John the Baptist and [John] the Evangelist". The inscription indicates, with its full title, that the archbasilica was originally dedicated to Christ the Savior and, centuries later, co-dedicated to Saint John the Baptist and Saint John the Evangelist. Christ the Savior remains its primary dedication, and its titular feast day is 6 August, the Transfiguration of Christ. As the Cathedral of the Pope as Bishop of Rome, it ranks superior to all other churches of the Roman Catholic Church, including Saint Peter's Basilica.
The archbasilica's Latin name is Archibasilica Sanctissimi Salvatoris ac Sancti Ioannis Baptistae et Ioannis Evangelistae ad Lateranum, which in English is the Archbasilica of the Most Holy Savior and Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist at the Lateran, and in Italian Arcibasilica [Papale] del Santissimo Salvatore e Santi Giovanni Battista ed Evangelista in Laterano.
Main article: Lateran Palace
The archbasilica stands over the remains of the Castra Nova equitum singularium, the "New Fort of the Roman imperial cavalry bodyguards". The fort was established by Septimius Severus in AD 193. Following the victory of Emperor Constantine the Great over Maxentius (for whom the Equites singulares augusti, the emperor's mounted bodyguards had fought) at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, the guard was abolished and the fort demolished. Substantial remains of the fort lie directly beneath the nave.
The remainder of the site was occupied during the early Roman Empire by the palace of the gens Laterani. Sextius Lateranus was the first plebeian to attain the rank of consul, and the Laterani served as administrators for several emperors. One of the Laterani, Consul-designate Plautius Lateranus, became famous for being accused by Nero of conspiracy against the Emperor. The accusation resulted in the confiscation and redistribution of his properties.
The Lateran Palace fell into the hands of the Emperor when Constantine I married his second wife Fausta, sister of Maxentius. Known by that time as the Domus Faustae or "House of Fausta," the Lateran Palace was eventually given to the Bishop of Rome by Constantine I. The actual date of the donation is unknown, but scholars speculate that it was during the pontificate of Pope Miltiades, in time to host a synod of bishops in 313 that was convened to challenge the Donatist schism, declaring Donatism to be heresy. The palace basilica was converted and extended, becoming the residence of Pope Saint Sylvester I, eventually becoming the Cathedral of Rome, the seat of the Popes as the Bishops of Rome.
Pope Sylvester I presided over the official dedication of the archbasilica and the adjacent Lateran Palace in 324, changing the name from Domus Fausta to Domus Dei ("House of God"), with a dedication to Christ the Savior (Christo Salvatori).
When a cathedra became a symbol of episcopal authority, the papal cathedra was placed in its interior, rendering it the cathedral of the Pope as Bishop of Rome.
When Gregory the Great sent the Gregorian mission to England under Augustine of Canterbury, some original churches in Canterbury took the Roman plan as a model, dedicating a church both to Christ as well as one to Saint Paul, outside the walls of the city. The church name "Christ Church", so common for churches around the world today in Anglophone Anglican contexts, originally came from this Roman church, central to pre-medieval Christian identity.
On the archbasilica's front wall between the main portals is a plaque inscribed with the words "SACROS LATERAN ECCLES OMNIUM VRBIS ET ORBIS ECCLESIARVM MATER ET CAPUT" ("Most Holy Lateran Church, mother and head of all the churches in the city and the world"); a visible indication of the declaration that the basilica is the "mother church" of all the world. In the twelfth century the canons of the Lateran claimed that the high altar housed the Ark of the Covenant and several holy objects from Jerusalem. The basilica was thus presented as the Temple of the New Covenant.
The archbasilica and Lateran Palace were re-dedicated twice. Pope Sergius III dedicated them to Saint John the Baptist in the 10th century in honor of the newly consecrated baptistry of the archbasilica. Pope Lucius II dedicated them to John the Evangelist in the 12th century. Thus, Saint John the Baptist and Saint John the Evangelist became co-patrons of the archbasilica, while the primary Patron is still Christ the Savior, as the inscription in the entrance indicates and as is traditional for patriarchal cathedrals. Consequently, the archbasilica remains dedicated to the Savior, and its titular feast is the Feast of the Transfiguration of Christ on 6 August. The archbasilica became the most important shrine of the two Saint Johns, albeit infrequently jointly venerated. In later years, a Benedictine monastery was established in the Lateran Palace, and was devoted to serving the archbasilica and the two saints.
Every pope, beginning with Pope Miltiades, occupied the Lateran Palace until the reign of the French Pope Clement V, who in 1309 transferred the seat of the Papacy to Avignon, a Papal fiefdom that was an enclave in France. The Lateran Palace has also been the site of five ecumenical councils (see Lateran Councils).
During the time the papacy was seated in Avignon, France, the Lateran Palace and the archbasilica deteriorated. Two fires ravaged them in 1307 and 1361. After both fires the pope sent money from Avignon to pay for their reconstruction and maintenance. Nonetheless, the archbasilica and Lateran Palace lost their former splendor.
When the papacy returned from Avignon and the pope again resided in Rome, the archbasilica and the Lateran Palace were deemed inadequate considering their accumulated damage. The popes resided at the Basilica di Santa Maria in Trastevere and later at the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. Eventually, the Palace of the Vatican was built adjacent to the Basilica of Saint Peter, which existed since the time of Emperor Constantine I, and the popes began to reside there. It has remained the official residence of the pope (though Pope Francis unofficially resides elsewhere in the Vatican City).
There were several attempts at reconstruction of the archbasilica before a definitive program of Pope Sixtus V. Sixtus V hired his favorite architect, Domenico Fontana, to supervise much of the project. The original Lateran Palace was demolished and replaced with a new edifice. On the square in front of the Lateran Palace is San Giovanni Addolorata Hospital and the largest standing ancient Egyptian obelisk in the world, known as the Lateran Obelisk. It weighs an estimated 455 tons. It was commissioned by the Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose III and erected by Thutmose IV before the great Karnak temple of Thebes, Egypt. Intended by Emperor Constantine I to be shipped to Constantinople, the very preoccupied Constantius II had it shipped instead to Rome, where it was erected in the Circus Maximus in AD 357. At some time it broke and was buried under the Circus. In the 16th century it was discovered and excavated, and Sixtus V had it re-erected on a new pedestal on 3 August 1588 at its present site.
Further renovation of the interior of the archbasilica, ensued under the direction of Francesco Borromini, commissioned by Pope Innocent X. The twelve niches created by his architectural scheme were eventually filled in 1718 with statues of the Apostles, sculpted by the most prominent Roman Rococo sculptors.
The vision of Pope Clement XII for reconstruction was an ambitious one in which he launched a competition to design a new façade. More than 23 architects competed, mostly working in the then-current Baroque idiom. The putatively impartial jury was chaired by Sebastiano Conca, president of the Roman Academy of Saint Luke. The winner of the competition was Alessandro Galilei.
The façade as it appears today was completed in 1735. It reads in Latin: Clemens XII Pont Max Anno V Christo Salvatori In Hon SS Ioan Bapt et Evang; this highly abbreviated inscription is expanded thus: Clemens XII, Pont[ifex] Max[imus], [in] Anno V, [dedicavit hoc aedificium] Christo Salvatori, in hon[orem] [sanctorum] Ioan[is] Bapt[tistae] et Evang[elistae]. This translates as "Pope Clement XII, Pontifex Maximus, in the fifth year of his reign, dedicated this building to Christ the Savior, in honor of Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist". Galilei's façade removed all vestiges of traditional, ancient, basilical architecture and imparted a neo-classical facade.
Nicely said but the aphorism begs the question, what exactly is justice? A lawyer might answer that it is the law. A politician might answer that justice is fairness. Another might answer that it is impartiality.
Nah-uh, retorts another. One can be completely impartial in meting out not justice but injustice. Impartiality is not justice.
Yet another interjects that justice is not all virtuous. It's about revenge and punishment in order to ingratiate the aggrieved and avoid moral hazard so as to incentivize the wayward to follow the law.
And around and around they go.

The church was originally built during the 10th century, as part of a monastic foundation of Benedictine women. In 968, the abbey was gifted land by Edgar, King of England and rededicated.
The religious community continued to grow and a village grew around it. Both suffered already in the 10th century, when Viking raiders sacked the village and burnt down the original church in 993. However, the abbey was rebuilt in stone in around 1000 and the village quickly recovered. The abbey and its community of nuns flourished and was renowned as a seat of learning – especially for the children of the nobility.
In Norman times a substantial, new stone abbey was built on the old Anglo-Saxon foundation ( 1130 to 1140) by Henry Blois, Bishop of Winchester and Abbot of Glastonbury, younger brother of King Stephen. In this general period, the community prospered and by 1240 the nuns numbered more than 100.
It was in this period that the dramatic case arose of Princess Marie (1136–1182), youngest daughter of Stephen of England. Marie had become a novice at the Priory of Lillechurch in Kent, but transferred to Romsey in the years 1148–1155, being elected Abbess in 1155, the year following her father's death. In 1159, the death of her brother William left her as the suo jure Countess of Boulogne and the following year prompted Matthew of Alsace to abduct her from her abbey and force her to marry him despite her religious vows, so that he became jure uxoris Count of Boulogne and co-ruler. Though couple had two daughters, the marriage was annulled in 1170 and Marie returned to life as a Benedictine nun at the Abbey of Sainte-Austreberthe at Montreuil, where she died in 1182, aged about 46.
Despite the faithful service in prayer of many of the nuns over many centuries, there are scattered traces of irregularities in the conduct of the house, of which the evidence would merit impartial investigation with modern historiographical methods, rather than stale prejudice. Some sources accuse the abbess Elizabeth Broke (1472–1502) of ruling over a period of scandal, including allowing poor dress standards for nuns, allowing nuns to go to the towns taverns, poor account keeping and an unhealthy relationships with the Chaplain.
The abbey continued to grow and prosper until the Black Death struck the town in 1348–9. While it is thought that as much as half of the population of the town – which was then about 1,000 – died as a result, the number of nuns fell by over 80% to 19. 72 nuns died including Abbess Johanna. After the plague there were never more than 26 nuns in the Abbey.
This so affected the area that the overall prosperity of the abbey dwindled, though it remained an important local institution and continued its traditional functions of prayer and charity towards the local people.
He's too advanced for me to help him technically, but likes to have me there for moral support when he's practicing. So to while away the time, I practiced using my 50mm with available light. I did get shots with his face more exposed, but I liked this one. I will fully admit to being totally emotionally attached to this shot. No impartial detachment here. And it bothers me not, if I'm the only one who likes it. ; - )

"Ok guys. Today we are going to train on how to extract a non-combative passenger that is being re-accommodated from an airline. Our goal is to remove the passenger with no injuries to the rejected passenger, other passengers, or officers."
-
"We believe there will be an increase of these type of incidents wherein the passenger is looking for the opportunity to sue the airline for excessive force."
-
"If an airline is kicking a passenger off, that's their choice. The airline is private property. This means this is really a trespassing situation. We must remain impartial even if it seems ridiculous how an airline is treating their customers. We also need to be professional and use our heads to avoid unfavorable media incidents."
-
"First of all, remember the passenger is going to be PISSED OFF and prior to this incident, they have likely seen the recent incident with United Airlines. Expect to be video tapped and expect for there to be accelerated resistance to following lawful orders. Time is on our side, and the airline's flight schedule becomes moot so don't let the airline staff pressure you to hurry up--they created the problem with poor customer service policy and we won't be rushed to do our job in the safest way possible."
-
"Keep in mind that a resistant passenger might garner the support or non-support of other passengers, which can be volatile either case. Passengers can turn on us, or depending on the situation, turn on the rejected passenger for delaying their flight."
-
"Considering all above the above, the cramped quarters, and emotionally charged and liable environment, we must remain diligent and act smart."
-
"Now, if the passenger is a Stormtrooper, none of the above matters, just taser his ass and drag him from the plane. As you know X or current Stormtroopers have no civil rights and Vader has authorized a strict enforcement approach. Same goes for Zombies."
-
"Today we will be using the new Passenger Trainer 2000 airline simulation chamber. It was developed by Southwest Airlines, my favorite airline. They built it to train their employees for a variety of regular and emergency operations. Everything is exactly like a real airplane, except they don't serve their tasty $5.00 cocktails on this one, so don't get any funny ideas."
-
"Each of you will get to play officer, passenger, evil airline employee, and "rejected passenger, or RP" so you can experience the full range of emotions of the players during these incidents."
-
"Each of you has your scripts and rotation assignments. Everyone go to your places on the Passenger Trainer 2000 and we'll begin the roleplaying."

BIBLICAL CONTEXT: James 3:13-18 NIV
(from biblegateway.com)
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 MORE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)

It may be Movie Night, but tonight Stormtrooper Bruce has put a pause on those plans for something a little more important, at least for him. The guys know when it comes to Palpatine's Bake Off contests, STB is going to be there or be square.
Palpatine: OK, Rudolph, stop squirming before I drop you! You're worse than an Ewok!
Rudolph: But Unka Pappy, I can't see everything. They're all so pretty! And look! There's Unka Dude!
Palpatine: Now nephew, you know he's not your uncle, I am. I don't know why you insist on calling him that!
Rudolph: Unka Dude! Unka Dude! So happy to see you. I sure missed you! Did you miss me? Which entry is yours? Oh, and today I'm Rudolph accause Santa likes him best!
STB: Well, hello, Rudy, that's a great name. This year I made a yule log, this one right here!
TK-1110: Well, you definitely get my vote. But then, I'm not a judge. And I pitty the judges this year. What a turn out! Ten tables full of yummy goodness!
TK-432: Ten tables, but this one looks like it has the best ones, in my humble opinion!
Vader: Well, I am a judge, and with so many entries, it's going to take a while to decide a winner, so we're about to start in a few minutes. And hopefully no one gets sent to the MedBay, like last year.
Rudolph: Mr. Vader, can I be a judge? I just love desserts!
Palpatine: Now Rudolph, we talked about that. Judges need to be impartial. We do blind taste testing, and I'm afraid you'll peek. And if you peek, I'll have to tell Santa!
Rudolph: Well, since I can't be a judge, can I go back to Unka Dude's quarters and watch movies now that the Bake Off is over? He has the bestest movies and snacks ever! And then later we can sing songs!

"The Australian Natives Association (ANA) began in Melbourne in 1871 as a benefit or friendly society to encourage thrift and educational improvement among those born in Australia, 'natives'. Non-sectarian and politically impartial, it later campaigned for political reform and patriotic causes."
"ANA branches fervently supported federation."
"As well as providing medical, hospital, funeral and sick pay benefits, the ANA took up issues including national parks, teaching Australian history in schools, water conservation, afforestation, protecting native fish and fauna, town planning, immigration control and campaigns to buy Australian goods. It opposed intermarriage between Australians and Germans on racial purity grounds during the First World War, and secession in the 1930s. Some branches held annual musical and literary competitions and Wattle Days . . . "
"In 1952 the ANA overcame opposition to secure 26 January as the Australia Day holiday. In the late twentieth century, political and social causes were gradually abandoned and the ANA concentrated on paying benefits to members."

The Howard H. Baker, Jr. United States Courthouse is a 4-story, postmodern rendition of Neo-Georgian architecture structure which houses federal courtrooms for the Eastern District of Tennessee, governmental offices, and U.S. Marshal offices. The building was built in 1991 at a cost of $56 million as the headquarters for Whittle Communications. By 1995, Whittle was defunct and sold the building to the federal government for only $22 million.
The sculpture seen in front of the rotunda is "Beloved Woman of Justice" by Audrey Flack (2000) and was created specifically for the courthouse in Knoxville. It is intended to invite the viewer to contemplate and reflect on the meaning of the law and our judicial system. In the words of the artist, "It will encourage looking into the inner self...for truth.: The feathers hidden in the folds of the Greek drapery refer to Knoxville's early trade with Native Americans. The star and eagle in the headdress are symbolic of the United States and the ideas of justice, righteousness, and integrity. The expression of the face is meditative, pensive, and thoughtful, and is meant to inspire feelings of solace and reassurance. The facial features of the sculpture are meant to appeal to broad and diverse groups of people and represent the impartiality of the Courts.

I just like the columns.
The Court of Appeal has been in existence since 1849 and is the highest court in Quebec. In the vast majority of cases, the Court of Appeal is the final arbiter of the matters brought before it. Through its commitment to judicial independence and impartiality, and its efforts to ensure access to justice, it stands today as one of the primary bastions of the rule of law in Quebec.
I cannot pretend to feel impartial about colours. I rejoice with the brilliant ones and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns.

Uli "The Iron Wolf" Wulf
In the Summer of 1944 Russian Forces shot down a nazi Wunderwaffen saucer. Severely wounding it's sole occupant.
Captain Uli Wulf a hero of the German nation, saved it's pilot. Sustaining grievous wounds in the rescue operation himself.
The pilot he saved was actually an Alien being, who became known simply as "The Navigator". The Navigator was fitted with an iron lung by the deranged Dr Rascherat. Uli was saved but his head wounds were so severe he required an iron mask and spine reinforcement permantly fused to his body to keep him alive and mobile.
The navigator had been an impartial observer of the struggles of mankind, that is until the Russians took down her saucer and made her a prisoner in our solar system. Vowing revenge the navigator opened hermind to German scientists, enabling massive technological advances in a very short span of time.
Furthermore shedetonated the crippled star drive of his prototype inter dimensional flyer. The ensuing blast vaporised Moscow, immediately removing Mother Russia from the conflicts equation. Those in the secondary blast were killed instantly inhaling microscopic star dust which mutated them into the walking dead. The zombie like creatures who emerged seemed eternally hungry. Their bite or scratch could transmit the necrosis induced by the dust entering the human blood stream.
Seizing the opportunity the 3rd Reich falsely claimed they had more of these flying bombs. The Allied powers had no choice but to cease all hostilities and offer their immediate surrender. Small pockets of resistance remain splinter groups such as the Canadian Free French and the BrItish SAS "Slimey Limeys" still fight occupying forces, but the only recognisable organised fighting force is that of Americas 501st Airborne.
Today's story and sketch "by me", started around lunchtime, I was enjoying an ice cold "O'Doul's, a great tasting non alcoholic beer, and trying one of the new moon pies sent to the Man Cave for taste evaluation this morning, special delivery from the Chattanooga Tennessee Bakery, it's code named the "CRCMP" Coconut Rum Cream Moon Pie, and they are delicious, It's two chewy granola cookies with a coconut rum flavored marshmallow filling dipped in rich dark chocolate. They should be available soon in the "MCPPOE", Man Cave Posse Protectors Of Earth society gift shop, We are still excepting employment applications for a position in the Man Cave's Gift Shop, we are putting each person's name on a ticket and all tickets are going into one of Rescue Randy's most interesting living tissue crash test dummy fedora hat's, and when the hat is full, which should be soon, Cosmo the Man Caves official photographer and impartial judge of anything that could be construed as controversial, will be pulling the lucky persons name out of the hat, We have been receiving two to three hundred applications every day of those who pre registered, and correctly filled out the FBI background information, and swears to have a good sense of humor, and play's well with others. But as you can see today Cosmo is just arriving at another crash landing of a pilotless Dimension Glider which must have an XP22 Jelly filled seat, which seem to be disoloving anyone who sits on one, Cosmos first clue will be the empty hat on the back of the piolots seat, just as the Dimension Marshall did, who is staying far back in case there is any XP22 Jelly leakage. And I must inform our readers there is still no word from JB who is searching for Rescue Randy, who disappeared while riding an Experimental Dimension Jumping Skate Board, until next time taa ta the Rod Blog.
The BBC logo on The Forum is a clear statement of the broadcaster’s presence in Norwich and the wider East of England. From this building, BBC teams produce the region’s news, radio and online coverage, shaping how local events, politics and culture are understood. Their base here is not symbolic; it is the main point through which much of the region’s public-service journalism is generated.
The BBC has come under sharper scrutiny in recent times, especially over editorial balance and impartiality. These national arguments are felt strongly as audiences watch closely how stories are framed and whose views are prioritised. The Forum’s studios sit at the centre of that debate, with regional journalists working under the same pressures and expectations placed on the corporation as a whole.
I often become emotionally connected to a photo, making it difficult to view it impartially. This image is a prime example. I love diving before sunrise so I usually focus on macro subjects in the dark. However, one morning, I stumbled upon an energetic school of small fish swimming outside their coral refuge. I spent the entire dive with them, feeling their energy. As the sun rose and it got lighter, predatory fish showed up and started hunting, prompting the fish to retreat to the protect of the coral. I wanted to capture this predawn fish frenzy so the next morning, took my wide angle lens into dark waters. The scene reappeared but my technique and therefore my results were poor. I thought about it the whole day, what camera settings to change and for the next two morning, tried to improve my results. These may not be the most exciting images but they bring me joy, reminding me of the effort that went into capturing them.
A group representing Thoth as an ibis standing before the goddess Maat who is squatting on a chair, flanked by two other small ibises. The upper part of the tripartite headdress of the goddess has a hole in which was probably fixed the ostrich feather, her symbol.
By the Middle Kingdom, Thoth was connected with Maat, the personification of rightness and world order. Coffin texts, dating back to the same period, associate him with divine justice. Instructions and other tales regularly use Thoth as a metaphor for justice and, in funerary autobiographies, officials demonstrate their impartiality by claiming to be "truly precise as Thoth". Furthermore, New Kingdom didactic literature, such as the Instructions of Amenemope, also refers to Thoth as a symbol of justice.

When the nights were long, my mind wandered away. Cautiously, I remembered the sacred moments that gave me wings to fly on the tender clouds of euphoria. Back then, when the vivid impartiality was so appealing that the reaction of its action was still to be expected.
I felt incredible: incredible free, alive, and invulnerable.
Patiently, I waited for this journey to proceed. But the reality was bedded in hushing shades of happiness, and so my sight quickly became blurred. I miscalculated, and soon, I found myself in an endless circle of improper emotional attachment.
I felt unbelievable: unbelievable depressed, alone and desperate.
Headed by the fact that the problem was not me, I met you with understanding. But the delusive idea that this futile undertaking could have a good outcome was doomed to failure. While I continued to wait, I slowly realized that one needs to help oneself.
And with a heavy heart, I went to set free myself finally.
"Hey Bijou Planks!"
It's Terryman!
Hi Terryman!
You're always fun! *
"Well, I just want to warn you, today's my origin."
Oh! Ah...
Just a moment!
Here's money, run and buy me a pillow.
At the concession stand??
No! Across the street at the store!
Oh, here's my money, pick me up one of those inflatable mattresses.
We can't be sleeping on the floor during the show!
It's an origin! We'll be sleeping in the chairs for sure!"
"Okay guys, here goes! Announcer?"
Terryman is a left-handed Justice Chojin from Texas and Kinnikuman's best friend. He is very business-like and looks down on Kinnikuman, when he first appears within the anime and manga, but - on seeing Kinnikuman's strong sense of justice and fair-play - they soon become best friends.
Personality
Terryman was originally introduced as a chojin who would only fight for money, who was also immensely popular, and this led him to act in a cruel manner to people. This changed very quickly in the early chapters, where - inspired by Kinnikuman - he fights only for justice and strives to always help those in need, especially Kinnikuman.
He quickly became Kinnikuman’s friend, and developed a calmer and composed personality, but still maintains a funny and charismatic side. Terryman became a passionate individual, even sacrificing his leg and his life in order to safe other people or animals (as seen during th 21st Chojin Olympics preliminaries, were he saved a puppy from been run over by a bullet train). He shows an upbeat and energetic actitude, and won’t ever surrender or give up, even in the worst situations, making him a respectable and loved figure in the Idol Chojins.
Appearance
Overall Design
Terryman is a highly muscular man, who is described as handsome throughout the manga. Terryman has white hair, dark blue/grey eyes and wears a red outfit consisting of red boots with white laces, red knee-bands, red shorts and gloves. In the anime, his colour scheme has changed to blonde hair, and a blue outfit. On his forehead is the character 米 (Bei) and on his shoulders are the Star Emblems (スターエンブレム) which give him his Fighting Spirit.
Prosthetic Leg
At the 20th Chojin Olympics his left leg is shot and wounded by Kinkotsuman, which causes him to need a prosthetic leg in order to continue fighting (however, the leg can be very easily removed ).After a while, the leg was no longer mentioned. This changes in the Perfect Origin Arc. It was revealed that Backlund was able to create a perfect, improved version of the earlier prosthetic, which is able to be sturdily affixed and perform as perfectly as a flesh-and-blood leg.
While fighting against Justiceman, however, Terryman got his latest prosthetic badly damaged, and - as Backlund is revealed to have died - it leaves no one able to rebuild his prosthetic. Even when Backlund was alive, he cautioned Terryman about his prosthetic leg being one of a kind, unlikely to be ever repaired or fixed. Terryman's sacrifice ultimately convinced Justiceman to forfeit, a he was touched by Terryman's keen sense of justice. He now relies on a lesser - visibly fake - metallic leg.
Relationships
Kinnikuman
Terryman is the best friend of Kinnikuman. The two meet very early on in their careers, in their early twenties, and are at first antagonistic to one another, but soon they socialise on a regular basis, even with other members of each other's social circles. They form a tag-team that lasts for the entirety of their career, and - even when they temporarily argue or part - always reunite to work together and support each other. They display an unconditional trust and affection, often listening to one another when they would listen to no one else. They are shown to be friends, even into the Kinnikman Nisei series.
Natsuko Shono
Natsuko showed an instant attraction to Terryman, with whom she often went on dates and supported in his matches. Natsuko can be possessive, sometimes verbally or physically attacking other fans that compete for his attention, and the two are very close friends with Kinnikuman. Terryman sometimes prioritises fighting over Natsuko, such as striking her unconscious so that he can fight in a match, but ultimately he cares very deeply for her, even willing to cancel a once-in-a-lifetime match to care for her when she was in the intensive care unit of a hospital. Once married, they live together on a Texan ranch, but sleep in separate beds and dress in the same clothes. They raise a child named Terry the Kid together.
Terry the Kid
Terry the Kid has a strained relationship with his father. In flashbacks, Terryman was a strict teacher and trained Kid thoroughly, even pitting him in a death-match against Volcano. Terryman is seen to be an attentive father, but sometimes struck Terry the Kid when Kid spoke rudely of his friends. Kid spends most of the series motivated by trying to be better than his father, resenting all comparisons to him, but - despite all this - Terryman and Kid are seen affectionate and supportive of each other at later points.
Geronimo
Terryman was the one that saw the potetintial that was within him, even if he was a mere human. He travels back to Geronimo's village to ask for help, and after Geronimo became a chojin, they form a Tag team to enter the new tournament.
History
The Young Prince of London Arc
Terryman watches Robin Mask alone in a bar, while drinking from a distance. He later watches while Robin Mask sacrifices his Chojin powers for Alisa Mackintosh, and Terryman laments - while crossing off Robin's name for a list - that the man he was scouting sacrificed real potential for a human woman.
Later, Terryman reappears when Robin expresses a wish to get back his powers. He breaks up a fight between Robin and some human youths, while carrying a piece of Stonehenge, which was an integral part of Robin losing his powers. He tosses the stone to Robin, who recovers his powers, and then stops one of the youths from escaping, by using a signature move on their leg.
Terryman watches in awe of Robin Mask, while defending him to Paul Mackintosh. Terryman tosses him back his helmet and armour, while saying that he now has faith Robin will be a great wrestler and that he did not waste his time by travelling to London. Terryman then joins the crowds in watching the match between Robin Mask and Guillotine King.
Kinnikuman
Terryman initially appears as an antagonist, only helping people for money. He learns from Kinnikuman the meaning of Friendship Power, while falling in love with Natsuko Shono, and comes to be a major protagonist. Terryman loses his leg during the Chojin Olympics, resulting in him using a prosthetic leg. He will team up with Kinnikuman several times, as they form a tag-team called The Machineguns, and temporarily assume the identity of Kinnikuman Great. He will also work for Team Kinnikuman in the Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne Arc.
1st Kaiju Extermination Arc
Terryman first arrived as an American Super Hero taking over Kinnikuman's designated area of Japan. Terry charged money for his services, which the Japanese Government considered "a small price to pay compared to being saved by Kinnikuman", and soon he was made the sole Hero of Japan (meaning only he was legally allowed to fight against monsters and evil chojin).
A child comes to Terryman for help, as his father has been taken hostage by a monster, but Terryman kicks the child (whom lacks the finances to hire him). Kinnikuman strikes him for refusing to help someone in need, before choosing to help the child instead; Terryman warns him that the military will attack him for not being an approved hero. The selflessness of Kinnikuman convinces him to change his ways, as he fights for justice and not for money.
Terryman next appears during a meeting between Natsuko and Kinnikuman, in which he defeats a monster. He flirts with Natsuko and flies away. When a competition between chojin and monsters arises, Terryman refuses as he will not make any money. He changes his mind when he realises Natsuko will be present. The match is set to be a tag team, but Kinnikuman walks away, and this leads to Terryman being attacked with scissors. Kinnikuman hears his screams for help and returns.
He is seen on a date with Natsuko, too. During the date, Kinnikuman is attacked by Kinkotsuman and Terryman comes to his defence. He also teases Kinnikuman for not having gadgets, such as hover-bikes. Terryman later is forced to fight Natsuko when she is turned giant and evil by one of Kinkotsuman's schemes; he confesses his love and refuses to harm her, but - when Kinkotsuman attacks them - Terryman is willing to die for her safety. Kinnikuman intervenes and Natsuko is returned to normal size. After a trip to the south with Kinnikuman, they soon become best friends.
Roots Island Arc
Kunta first appears in the male onsen , where she throws herself on Kinnikuman and begs for his help. Natsuko introduces Kunta as the princess of Roots Island, and Kunta explains that her island has been overrun by Kaiju, as well as that many warriors have been killed by Ukon. When Terryman and Kinnikuman agree to the job, she gives each of them a kiss on the cheek, before they ride on Miss Karasu to the island in order to defeat the Kaiju.
As they arrive, they are greeted by Elder Yosaku, and introduces them to the last warrior of the island: Tabuchi. Kinnikuman and Terryman travel together to Roots Island to help Kunta and save the islanders.
Harigoras arrives at the same time as Octopus Dragon, but - while Kinnikuman fights Octopus Dragon - Terryman takes on Octopus Dragon. Harigoras turns into a ball-like creature, much like how a hedgehog curls in on itself, before he shoots it with a gun and destroys it (as it explodes into an array of body-parts).
After they defeat Harigoras and Octopus King, a piece of meat appears before Kinnikuman and he eats the meat. Custom dictates whomever eats the meat must fight Ukon one-on-one in battle. It is meat thrown by Ukon in a challenge. Eventually, Mammora destroys Ukon and it is revealed Kinkotsuman and Iwao were working the robot the entire time, but they soon run away. When Kunta is rescued, she pays Terryman and Kinnikuman with stone money (which they cannot use).
20th Chojin Olympics Arc
Terryman is first seen in this arc, when he tells Kinnikuman that he cannot compete in the Chojin Olympics as Japan's representative has been removed by the chairman.
He also reveals that he is the Southern USA representative. Terryman and Specialman appear together as the USA representatives in the opening ceremony, and later wins the first preliminary match, which is Rock-Paper-Scissors.
He is distraught in the second preliminary match by Specialman's defeat, and deduces that his accident is at the hands of Kinkotsuman. During the battle royale, to determine who comes in eight place during the third preliminary round, Terryman realises that the referee is Kinkotsuman in disguise and arranges his defeat, which leads Kinnikuman to win the match by default. The first match for Terryman is against Skyman. After an exchange of blows, Terryman is knocked briefly unconscious. Specialman - in his injured state - comes to cheer Terryman onward; Terryman defeats Skyman with an Oklahoma Stampede.
At the Nippon Budokan, Terryman arrives to the semi-finals alongside Robin Mask. Terryman gets up at the end of the Kinnikuman vs. Ramenman match, at which point he sees Kinkotsuman attempting to assassinate Kinnikuman with a gun, and gets shot in the leg by accident. He crawls to his dressing room, where he is found by Natsuko, and begs her not to tell the chairman, as it would cause him to forfeit his match against Robin Mask (which is about to start). Terryman knocks Natsuko unconscious, before arriving at the last minute for his match. He pretends to not be injured, before fighting with dirty tactics. He throws sand in Robin's face and uses steel knuckle-dusters to attack.
Terryman screams in pain when he attempts his spinning tone-hold. Robin implements the Boston Crab, which causes him to give up and forfeit the match. Natsuko reveals that Terryman fought injured, at which point Robin Mask and Kinnikuman offer him their places in the finals. He then engages in a minor scuffle with Kinnikuman, as they bicker as friends. He later dances with Natsuko at the ball celebrating the finals. In a competition to determine who will be third place, he then battles Ramenman.
Terryman wins the match due to foul-play by Ramenman.
The Lost Three Days
Kinnikuman sets his sights upon Terryman as a tag partner, but only has three days until the tournament starts to convince him of participation, and - on reaching Terry's Ranch - Kinnikuman begs him, only for Terry to rebuke him due to a lack of time. Kinnikuman strikes Terryman, which knocks him off his horse, and this reveals that he has lost his leg, which Terryman states makes him useless as a partner. He thus rides away.
A ranch-hand - Buckland - reveals that he has a prosthetic leg that Terryman can use, and gives it to Kinnikuman so that Terryman may fight again. Kinnikuman waits outside the ranch, even forgoing food and rest, in hopes that Terryman will take pity on him and use the leg.
The next day Terryman wakes them with water to the face, after they pass out from heatstroke. Terryman says that he will work with Kinnikuman, only if Kinnikuman can fill up his trough; he gives him two bags, and tells him the river is fifteen miles away. To do this, he lends Kinnikuman a wild horse (knowing that Kinnikuman will never tame the horse and thus make the necessary trips). The horse is named Machinegun.
Kinnikuman still refuses to find another partner, and - after being attacked by the horse - manages to eventually mount Machinegun. At sunset, Kinnikuman makes the first round-trip to empty some water into the trough. While Terryman goes about his daily routine, Kinnikuman continues to fill the trough. Kinnikuman bonds with the horse and tames him. Kinnikuman makes it back just in time to win the bet made by Terryman, and Terryman thus dons his prosthetic leg and agrees to join his team.
The two go on to enter the tournament.
American Tour Arc
A tag tournament is announced, in which Kinnikuman must engage in a round robin. He must fight the Chojin Council, Chojin Federation, Chojin Association, and the Kaiju - the winner of the four groups will gain control of America. Kinnikuman finds Terryman in Amarillo, Texas; Terryman initially refuses to participate, due to the work on his ranch, and it is revealed he has lost his left leg.
The wound he obtained by Kinkotsuman increasingly got worse, until he was forced to amputate. Kinnikuman eventually convinces him to use a prosthetic leg by winning a special bet. Kinnikuman has to ride on the most wild horse on Terryman's ranch, Machinegun, and draw some water from the nearby river. After learning that Machinegun lost his leg by bear-trap, Kinnikuman understands the horse's plight and promises to stick by Machinegun until he trusts other people again. Just as Kinnikuman is about to lose the bet, he makes it back with the last bit of water.
Over 100,000 people attend to watch the tournament in Houston, Texas. They form The Machineguns, with the theme of "The Magnificent Seven" as they make an entrance. Their first match is against Beauty Rhodes and Jean Steamboard, who form The Emperors. During their match, Terryman is accidentally knocked out by Kinnikuman. Kinnikuman begins to lose, but Terryman wakes up long enough to save Kinnikuman with his own body. The match ultimately ends in a draw. The next few matches take place in Los Angeles.
Terryman and Kinnikuman are set to win by default against Rugged Brothers, as one of their opponents lost in their previous match and is unable to compete. Kinkotsuman reveals that he is the new tag partner, and the group rename themselves Monster Master/Student Combo. Kinnikuman and Terryman get trapped under a lighting rig that Kinkotsuman crashes down on them, but Kinnikuman knocks Terryman out when Terryman panics over the loss of his leg when faced with Kinkotsuman that caused his leg injury. Kinnikuman wins the match in record time against both Kinkotsuman and Iwao.
In the The Emperors vs. Blood Illusions match, the Blood Illusions continue to attack despite The Emperors forfeiting the match. Terryman enters the ring to intervene; Terryman loses his prosthetic leg and is attacked by the Blood Illusions, as is Meat when Meat comes to his defence.
The next few matches take place at Madison Square Gardens, New York. Terryman panics in the waiting room while waiting for their match against the Blood Illusions, and seeks to quit the tournament, but a small boy in a wheelchair comes to return his lost hat. The boy also lost his leg, but - since seeing Terryman fight - was inspired to use his prosthetic leg to walk again, and walks unsteadily to Terryman. Terryman promises to be brave, just as the child was brave to try his prosthetic. Iwao intervenes in the match and removes Terryman's prosthetic leg. Kinkotsuman hits the child and knocks him unconscious.
Kinkotsuman keeps attacking the unconscious child, as he clings to the leg to prevent Kinkotsuman from destroying the lower limb. In this arc, Terry got stabbed in the forehead repeatedly, and from this point on, his forehead kanji looked more an asterisk. Beauty Rhodes returns the leg to Terryman. Terryman goes on to win the match and celebrates with the child, while they - the New World Supermen Association - goes on to control America.
2nd Kaiju Extermination Arc
Beansman goes to Texas to find seven chojin to protect Planet Rakka. He tests Terryman's power with a monster, which Terryman easily defeats. Terryman agrees to help the planet. They travel the world together to find the rest of the seven chojin needed to fight. They win against their opponents and manage to save Planet Rakka.
21st Chojin Olympics Arc
Terryman prevents Kinnikuman from fighting Wolfman, as the first preliminary events occurs. He wins the first round by not falling from the giant sieve. He wins the second round of a swimming competition, where they must swim faster than the ensuing fire, and cheers on Kinnikuman. [48] The third preliminary match tests how far each chojin can push a train; after pushing it far enough to disqualify Wolfman, who will now be in last place, he chases after the train at full speed. He stops the train to save a puppy, but the act of touching the train - after it has left the station - disqualifies him and allows Wolfman to be an entrant.
He acts as a commentator for much of the arc that follows, such as the final preliminary event. This trend follows even into the finally fight between Warsman and Kinnikuman, where he still acts as a commentator.
Seven Devil Chojin Arc
During the celebrations for the 21st Chojin Olympics: The Big Fight, the Seven Akuma Chojin are accidentally freed by Kinnikuman. They kidnap Alexandria Meat during the festivities, and each take a body part, and declare that Kinnikuman must defeat each of them to retrieve a part and bring Meat back to life. When Kinnikuman is later injured during his match with Stereo Cassette King, Terryman tries to fight in disguise as Kinnikuman, but it ultimately defeated as the remaining Seven Akuma Chojin fight him 6-on-1. The Mountain finishes this attack with a Mountain Drop.
When Kinnikuman beats Black Hole, he cannot fight any longer and the Justice Chojin decide to fight on his behalf. The remaining Seven Devil Chojin - and justice chojin - match up to find their opponents, and The Mountain is matched with Terryman (and the Mountain possesses Meat's hips). The match will take place in the Chichibu mountains. At first, it appears that Terryman is alone in the ring, but then the Mountain reveals he was disguised as one of the mountains and was there all along.
They exchange a series of blows, but - while grabbing Mountain in a Spinning Toe Hold - Terryman notices one of the laces on his shoe has snapped (a bad omen in Japanese culture). He later is in danger and caught on the ropes by Mountain. Terry attacks with a Deadly Drive, only for another shoe-lace to snap. A third lace snaps, but barely holds together, and Terryman realises that Brocken Jr. is clinging to life.
Terryman barely avoids a Body Slam.
The last string of Terryman's laces snaps. Terryman is heavily beaten by the Mountain, but - when Mountain insults his fallen comrades - this reinvigorates Terryman into attacking anew. Terryman cries, as he attacks Mountain, even when Mountain is touching the ropes and his actions are illegal. Terryman climbs the ropes and chances a Flying Knee Drop, but the attack causes Terry extreme pain, as it injures his prosthetic leg. The Mountain attempts a Mountain Drop, but Terryman counters with ease and stops the attack.
Terryman ends the match with a Brain Buster. The Mountain reveals that - although defeated - he won't die alone, and the ropes to the ring snap as he grabs at Terryman's ankle. They both fall from an extreme height, which results in The Mountain's death and Terryman's seeming demise. It is revealed that - remembering his promise to Kinnukuman- Terryman clung to life and returned to reunite with his friends.
During the fight with Atlantis, he, Brocken, and Mongolman go through the Spirit World Pocket to stop the fallen Devil Chojins from manipulating Kinnikuman. During the fight with Buffaloman, Terry is the one who gives Kinnikuman the idea of giving Buffaloman too much power.
Golden Mask Arc
Terryman appears with the other justice chojin for a fitness test.
It is during this time that the Golden Mask and Silver Mask are separated, resulting in all justice chojin slowly losing their power, and Terryman is the first to seen faint. Terryman rushes to attack the Devil Knights, but is knocked back by them. Terryman - along with his companions - are placed into plastic bubbles, which act as life-support devices. During Kinnikuman's battle with Planetman, Planetman steals the souls of the siegi chojin trapped within the life support devices. Terryman - and the others - are saved when Kinnikuman sacrifices Warsman in order to protect the rest of the group and defeat Planetman.
This defeat of Planetman restores Terryman - and others - to full power.
Warsman is revealed to be alive, but in a precarious state. Terryman decides to turn into a microscopic size and go inside Warsman's body, along with Robin Mask, Brocken Jr., Kinnikuman, and Geronimo. Terryman decides that the group will hold off the remaining Devil Knights, until Kinnikuman can reach the top floor and retrieve the Golden Mask - the matches will take place on a tower of rings formed along Warsman's spinal column. Kinnikuman eventually manages to climb his way to the third floor of the tower inside Warsman, where Terryman is fighting Asuraman.
When Ashuraman seeks to defeat Terryman with an Ashura Buster, Kinnikuman jumps into the ring to absorb the impact and save Terryman's life. Terryman manages to gain some advantage in battle, but Ashuraman steals both of his arms and leaves him without the ability to use attacks involving his arms. It is revealed that - during battle - Terryman allows Warsman's control unit to be hit, which causes him to spasm and threatens all their lives (and Warsman's), and only a second - and equal strike - will save the unit.
Terryman is willing to sacrifice his life to the Asura Buster to save the others.
Asuraman reveals that he never stole Buffaloman's arms, which gives Terryman an idea: he borrows Buffaloman's strength to summon his arms and use them to replace his missing arms. He grabs Geronimo's tomahawks, as Asuraman lifts him into the air, and commits the Honourable Death Drop against Asuraman, as both he and Asuraman plummet towards the control unit. He uses Buffaloman's arms to finish the blow to the unit, which gets it to work again.
Ashuraman is the first to stand after the attack, which means he has technically won, but - with both him and Terryman out of the ring - he has to return to the ring to claim his victory. Terryman uses the last of his strength to tackle Asuraman and prevent him from returning to the ring, which results in a draw. Terryman holds Asuraman back long enough for Kinnikuman to continue his climb. He soon collapses out of exhaustion, but - even unconscious - he manages to keep a leg hold on Asuraman, keeping him in place.
Dream Chojin Tag Arc
A second Mount Fuji appears in Japan.
On top of this mountain, the Universal Chojin Tag Team trophy appears. Underneath, there appears a series of rings that allow for eight tag-teams to compete. Terryman - along with the other justice chojin - goes to Kourakuen Hall to discuss the situation. After the others announce their group, Terryman states he has no reason to object to their decision and walks away. Terryman reveals he will not team up with Kinnikuman, but instead seeks to work with Geronimo and bring him back to full health (since he is now in a vegetative state).
Terryman visits a Cherokee village in Oklahoma, where - despite his soul supposedly having left his body - Geronimo protects him from being attacked by the villagers. Terryman begs Chief Cheyenne to heal Geronimo and bring him back to full health. Once Geronimo is healed, and turned into a chojin, they arrive together in Japan for the tournament. They enter their ring through a randomised set of corridors, which pits them against the Stray Akuma Chojin Combo. Later, when the justice chojin group together to protect Robin Mask, whose face is exposed, Terryman refuses to offer his help and states that his merciful nature has made him weak.
First Rounds
The New Machineguns - (compromised of Terryman and Geronimo) - start the match dirty, by attacking after pretending to shake hands with their opponents: Stray Akuma Chojin Combo. Terryman starts to strangle Asuraman with a bandage. Asuraman counters with a Body Slam, and Terryman then calls Geronimo in for a tag-team counter-move, before he tags in Geronimo. Terryman soon starts to doubt himself and regrets not having teamed with Kinnikuman. They then break off two of Ashuraman's arms.
The dolls collected by the Stray Akuma Chojin Combo scatter and break on the ring-mat, which leads Terryman to suspect that it means his destiny is to be killed in the match. They exchange a series of blows, but are soon outmatched with a Hell's Combination technique. Terryman is then heavily beaten, but Geronimo fails to understand his hand gestures, and Terryman realises his mistake in pairing up with someone other than Kinnikuman. Kinnikuman offers his support from the crowds, reinvigorating Terryman who nearly wins against Sunshine, but Asuraman threatens to take Geronimo's life lest Terryman concede.
Terryman rips off his stars from his arms, symbols of his chojin nature, and concedes. He is saved by Kinnikuman Great, when the Stray Akuma Chojin Combo fight on past the bell, but this act costs Kinnikuman Great a vast deal of injuries and incapacitates him. It is shown that Kinnikuman Great is dying, and he gives Terryman his mask and asks Terryman to act in his place: Terryman agrees.
Prince Kamehame's spirit then trains Terryman.
Semi-Finals
A tug-of-war determines that Terryman's next match is against the Stray Devil Combo again (due to him assuming Kamehame's position and joining Kinnikuman's team with no one wiser). The match takes place with their competitors surrounding the ring, so no one is allowed escape except through death. Terryman struggles to keep pace in the match, but Kamehame's spirit tells him that he should try to emulate him less and be his own person, and so he starts to use his own techniques and style again.
They begin to work well together as a team, until the cursed canvas comes to life with the spirits of the Seven Devil Chojin they destroyed in an earlier arc. The Muscle Brothers start to fail once more, when - after sowing seeds of doubt about Kinnikuman Great II's identity - Kinnikuman and Terryman start to fight among themselves, with Kinnikuman demanding to see his face. When Terryman sacrifices himself for Kinnikuman, it reignites their Friendship Power. The two then manage to win the match, after a series of events and some flashbacks to Ashuraman's childhood, with a Muscle Docking technique.
It is later Terryman who discovers Doctor Bombe is deceased, and stops the others from uncovering his dead body, lest it demotivate them, and he then buries Bombe alongside his best friend: Kamehame. The final match is against Hell Missionaries; the ring is surrounded by swords, which will pierce anyone thrown out of the ring or who tries to escape. [93] The match will be a three-round match, with each round lasting ten minutes until the final round, which will have no time-limit attached.
Finals
During the match against Neptuneman, some of Terryman's blond hair is exposed. More and more of Terryman's face is exposed, as he panics at the idea Kinnikuman may reject him on learning the truth, and thus leaves himself open to attacks. With only seconds to spare, Terryman is defeated with a Cross-Bomber in the first round and his face is revealed. Terryman has his stars returned to him by Asuraman, who rejects how he gave up earlier, and - thus due to not having technically quit his match - is still eligible to compete in the tournament, as he never technically lost.
They gain an advantage in the second round, and Kinnikuman - now their friendship is renewed - tears his white vest to offer a makeshift bandage to Terryman. They later manage to trick their opponents by switching places underneath the ring and swapping masks, and this lets them gain the upper-hand. Terryman is then knocked out of the ring onto the spikes, where he is incapacitated. They work together, after Terryman recovers to win with a Muscle Docking.
The two of them win the third round when both opponents faint.
They then continue together to retrieve their trophy.
Survivor Match Arc
Prehistory
Terryman attends Kinnikuman's coronation.
He is appointed "Staff Officer" of the Justice Chojin Corps. When the Five Fated Princes arrive, Terryman states that he is unable to help Kinnikuman due to his new role requiring him to be impartial, and that - as Kinnikuman is no longer prince he must not join his team. Terryman - instead - returns to Texas to teach his students, such as Dickieman, and watches the first round matches on a television set. On seeing Kinnikuman murdered in the ring, he abandons his medals and flees to go to the ring.
Terryman vs. King the 100-Ton
During the match against King the 100-Ton, Terryman and Robin Mask arrives together to save Meat. They are allowed to fight on Kinnikuman's team, as he has secretly added their names to the member roster in invisible ink (which is now visible). Terryman thus takes over in the match against 100-Ton. Terryman enters the ring on Kinnikuman's behalf, who begins the match with a drop-kick that is easily blocked by King, and - as tries again with a punch - his fists become bloodied.
King then jumps on his hands. King takes off several of his weights, until he is left with only 20 tons, as he seeks to prove a point to Terryman. This allows him to move at a quicker speed. King then presses a lever on the ring, which reveals a see-saw was hidden beneath the canvas. Each time King jumps on the see-saw, he adds weights to his body and Terryman goes higher and higher, until he finally strikes the ceiling at some force.
Terryman learns to time his attacks, so he can reverse the see-saw and send King hurtling backwards. After Terryman gets him in a hold, King withdraws his limbs inside his body and turns into a spherical shape. King is able to split into two balls and return as one, which enables him to be creative in his attacks, and finally his turns into a giant dumbbell, which starts to crush Terryman under its enormous weight. Kinnikuman discovers King is being manipulated by Kinnikuman Mariposa, who uses signs to tell him how to attack, and Kinnikuman uses a sign to force King to return to his usual form. Terryman is then able to use a Texas Clover Hold.
King finds a stray card, which allows him to turn his body into spikes to fight off Terryman. He finally returns to his full weight and full power, and he plans to hit Terryman with full impact, intending to break every bone in his body. It indeed breaks every one of Terryman's bones. Kinnikuman bends the see-saw with a Face Flash, which allows Terryman to alter his cause and headbutt King. The flashcards all fall from the ceiling in the kerfuffle, which causes King's body to shift chaotically into everything at once. Terryman takes advantage by stopping him from transforming, using the ropes of the ring, and wins with a Calf Branding.
This breaks King into dozens of pieces, killing him instantly. Unfortunately, a falling piece of 100-Ton's body knocks out Terryman, which means the match ends in an official tie. Terryman is too injured to continue, and so Robin Mask takes over against Kinnikuman Mariposa. When Robin struggles in his match, Terryman appears - heavily bandaged - to offer support for Kinnikuman and motivate Robin. Terryman is next pitted against Motorman, but is treated to a barrage of attacks that he is too weak to fend off.
Terryman vs. Motorman
Motorman appears as a competitor and second guard for Team Kinnikuman Zebra, where he is pitted against Terryman in Himeji Castle. Motorman lays a series of blows against an already weakened Terryman, until Terryman traps him in a double-arm suplex. The suplex is incomplete, leading Motorman to dive head-first into Terryman, who catches his drill with both hands. He proceeds to use his Battery Claw, before drilling into Terryman's chest. This is followed with a Spark Ring Flash.
Terryman aims an attack for his legs, which do not emit light, and knocks him down to the mat, but Motorman retaliates with a Drill-a-Hole Spark. He hits Terryman and sends him flying out of the ring. [113] Terryman is caught by Ramenman, who is in disguise as Bikeman. He is then laid down to rest.
Perfecting the Muscle Spark
Once healed, Terryman helps Kinnikuman train for his final match.
They work with Robin Mask on top of two adjacent towers, before a crystal lake pool, where they throw down dummies and judge by the reflection what position works best. Terryman then sacrifices himself, so that Kinnikuman can practise on a real human as opposed to a dummy. Terryman - now too injured to participate - sits out the rest of the tournament to rest and recover. Once recovered, Terryman - along with other Justice Chojin - go to the final battle to offer support, where he meets Kinnikuman Super Phoenix's mother and leads her to Osaka Castle. He is last seen supporting and celebrating Kinnikuman's victory.
Kinnikuman (2011)
Perfect Origin Arc
Prehistory
Terryman is reintroduced saving a boy in Japan.
He has come to Japan at the request of Meat Alexandria, where three chojin factions plan to sign a peace treaty: Justice Chojin, Perfect Chojin, and Devil Chojin. Terryman is the spokesman for the Justice Chojin. He signs the treaty at the Japan Martial Arts Stadium, and several days later he participates in a Chojin Appreciation Day. After his shoelace snaps, he notices that the arena is being invaded. Terryman gets the children to safety, when it is revealed these are Perfect Chojin from outer space.
After Max Radial defeats Specialman and Canadianman - and Tileman, Curry Cook, and Benkiman are turned into humans - Terryman jumps into the ring to protect people and stop the Perfect Chojin. He punches Strong the Budo and declares a full-scale tournament. Natsuko and Geronimo beg Terryman not to compete, as he would need to defeat all seven chojin alone, but he states that he must for the safety of the world. He picks a card at random that determines his opponent: Max Radial.
Terryman vs. Max Radial
The match takes place at the Tokyo Dome. Terryman attacks from the red corner, before the match begins, before landing a storm of punches and proceeds with a Spinning Toe Hold. It is revealed Max Radial's legs are made from suspensions, so the leg hold has no power, and he tightens them and releases them so that Terryman is sent flying in the distance. Terryman attempts a Calf Branding, but Max's tires stop his face from making contact with the ring canvas.
Terryman is attacked by a Drift Tackle, but - when he stands - his body is torn with slashes from the tires. Terryman attempts to counter with an Oklahoma Stampede-styled Throw, but Max stops this with a Big Radial Fin. Max attacks again and again, until Terryman's skin is ripped into shreds. Even after Terryman faints, he stands and prevents another Drift Tackle.
It is revealed that Terryman has been wearing down the tires on Max Radial's shoulders, which is where Terryman starts to focus his attacks. Terryman manages to scrape the rubber from the tires, before exploding the tires. He is finally able to use a Calf Branding attack and a Texas Condor Kick, before winning with a Tenacious Blow. Terryman falls out of the ring, only to be caught by Kinnikuman. When Max Radial is murdered by Strong the Budo, Terryman is horrified and fails to understand them.
Interim
As such, he fought and won Max Radial, getting grievously injured, sitting over until the Perfect Origin arrival.
Terryman vs. Justiceman
Justiceman fights Terryman on the 3rd floor of Yggdrasil.
Terryman grabs Justiceman's head with a Texas Bulldozer, but Justiceman counters with a back-drop. While Terryman writhes in pain, Justiceman attacks again with a Moonsault Drop, and Terryman uses this as an opportunity for a knee-crusher. The attack fails and Justiceman knocks him back. Justiceman announces that he will accept the Perfect Chojin are wrong, if Terryman can best him in battle. He also states that he intended to fight to the death. Terryman accepts and attempts a series of blows, but none work.
Justiceman tries to stomp on a downed Terryman, but Terryman attempts to knocks him down with a sliding kick. The kick misses, but Terryman manages to grab Justiceman's other leg and knock him to the canvas, before using a Spinning Toe Hold. The crowd cheers for Terryman, but Justiceman kicks him away and counters with a triangle-hold. He then uses a shoulder-throw to toss Terryman across the ring.
After flinging Terryman around the ring, but Terryman realises that Justiceman has a pattern to how he fights: he always uses "logical" movements. Terryman feigns a Condor Kick, which Justiceman raises his arms to counter, but Terryman changes to a double-somersault kick. He then uses a German Suplex, followed by a full-weight moonsault (aerial moves he would never usually move, so an opponent would not logically expect). Terryman uses a King Kong Drop, but Justiceman evades and uses a Judgement Crash.
The move does vast damage to Terryman's arms, but the stars on his arms begin to glow. Terryman proceeds to use continual middle-kicks with his left leg, despite seeming to have injured his left knee, but Justiceman blocks every kick. It is revealed that Buckland created Terryman a new artificial leg, almost as good as an organic leg, but the leg cannot be replaced if it is broken (especially due to Buckland's death.
Justiceman counters by attacking Terryman's right leg, before Terryman attempts a Texas Clover-Hold. The move is countered by Justiceman, who uses a knee-bar on the right leg, but Terryman breaks from the hold. Terryman accuses Justiceman of taking pity by not attacking his left leg, but Justiceman states he wants to leave Terryman no excuse for having lost the match. He follows this with a Judgement Twist, which destroys enough bones and tendons to make Terryman's left arm useless.
Terryman tears out two corners of the ring, which creates a Texas Twister. This knocks Justiceman to the canvas, allowing Terryman a chance to use the Texas Twister once again, but this time Justiceman is able to counter with a chop. Terryman follows with a Calf Branding. It fails to damage Justiceman, who uses an ankle-lock on Terryman's right leg and breaks his leg. A Judgement Avalanche follows, which causes the light on Terryman's stars to diminish. Even without working limbs, Terryman headbutts Justiceman.
Justiceman attacks back with a Justice Penalty. The light returns to Terryman's stars, as he regains his Texan Spirit. The force of the Judgement Penalty knocks Terryman's prosthetic leg from his body, and - despite his extensive injuries - Terryman crawls towards Justiceman. He tries to fight, but Justiceman declares that he already found him "guilty" when he used his Judgement Penalty, and he cannot judge a person twice; as Terryman survived the move and Justiceman cannot continue to fight (due to having given judgement), Terryman wins as the match is effectively forfeited. He gifts Terryman his dumbbell.
Justiceman proceeds to compliment Terryman's Fighting Spirit (what Terryman dubs his 'Texan Spirit').
Post-Tournament
He travels with Kinnikuman, Meat, and the rest to watch the final fight: The Man vs. General Devil, in Australia.
Omega Centauri's Six Spears Arc
Terryman attends Planet Kinniku for an awards ceremony, a month after the previous arc.
He has been given a new prosthetic leg, albeit inferior to the last. A force-field proceeds to trap him inside the Kinniku Palace, alongside the other Idol Chojin. The force-field also shuts down the palace in the demon realm, trapping inside the Devil Chojin, and the Chojin Graveyard; it is revealed Satan put the force-fields in place, as he plans to unleash the Omega Centauri Six Spears onto Earth.
Unnamed Arc
Prehistory
Terryman finally makes contact with Kinnikuman from Muscleham Palace. He states they were trapped due to a barrier created by Satan, but - now Satan is defeated - they can make contact and leave the palace. The Man asks the eight Justice Chojin to break up into teams of two, in order to defeat the choushin, and go to their locations: Terryman teams up with Geronimo. After twenty-four hours of preparation, the Man sends Terryman and the others to the choushin. The first location is revealed to be in Egypt.
After Terryman realises he is in Giza, Egypt, a ring bursts out of the sand and Prisman appears inside the ring. Prisman fights against Bicorn, leading Terryman to watch the fight alongside Geronimo. After Prisman dies, Geronimo becomes disheartened and Terryman inspires him to keep on fighting and maintain hope.
Then, once the Tower of Babel is opened, Terryman encourage Geronimo to go, saying that he isn't in good conditions to fight against the menace of the choushin.
Kinnikuman Nisei
Terryman is rarely seen in the first part of the manga. We see him mostly in flashbacks, where we know he has married Natsuko and owns a ranch in Texas, and as since fathered Terry the Kid. He is sometimes seen supporting his son in his matches, such as being their during the preliminary round of the Chojin Olympics, and later participates in a tag-team exhibition match with Kinnikuman against the 20 Million Powers.
In the Ultimate Chojin Tag Tournament Arc, a pair of Time Chojin go back to 1983. Terryman initially refuses to believe the Time Chojin or the Time Warp 8 are from the future, before participating with Kinnikuman as part of the Machineguns in the Ultimate Chojin Tag Tournament to defeat the New Generation participants. He eventually loses against the Muscle Brothers Nouveau in the semi-finals, where he realises that the New Generation were telling the truth, and goes on to support them.
Kinnikuman vs. Terryman
In a special edition chapter, Meat tells a story to Terry the Kid and Mantaro Kinniku. In which, Terryman challenges his best friend Kinnikuman to a fight. This is an filler arc set twenty-nine years previous to the Chojin Olympic Resurrection. After twenty-six years of service, Kinnikuman was set to return to Planet Kinniku, but Terryman challenges him to a fight for honour, and Kinnikuman is granted fives days for the match (preparation and the fight itself). He announces the fight will be at 6pm Todoroki Stadium, with no press or audiences allowed.
Warsman arrives at Terryman's ranch in the USA, riding a horse, and he is alongside Buffaloman - they declare they will help him to train. They initially defeat Terryman, proving he has a lot of progress to make to defeat Kinnikuman. Two days later, Terryman is able to defeat them both. They leave together for the match, only to discover Natsuko was in a car accident. Terryman stays by her side in the ICU, while Warsman and Buffaloman sleep outside. Natsuko awakes just long enough to tell Terryman to go to Japan and fight.
When Terryman cannot be found, Kinnikuman is one of the only people who believe he will appear. Robin Mask acts as referee and announcer, but it then begins to rain and Kinnikuman is scheduled to leave in just one hour. Terryman arrives at 6:50, just ten minutes before Kinnikuman must leave. Robin Mask intervenes at 7:00 to announce the match is a draw, and Kinnikuman and Terryman embrace.
Dawn of Terry the Kid
Kid returns home bruised and injured, which causes Natsuko Shono to chastise him, as he has came home from school with injuries every day for two weeks. After Terryman talks to Kid, Kid reveals that a new jujitsu chojin has transferred to his school. The jujitsu chojin then forms a new jujitsu club without Terry the Kid.
After Terry the Kid expresses a desire to join the jujitsu club, giving up wrestling, Terryman takes him out onto the ranch to fulfil a Terry Clan family tradition, which is to remove tree stumps at least once a day from the male chojin's tenth birthday. After Terryman cuts down the trees, he tells Kid to remove the stumps, but Kid grows tired and fails to remove any more. A group of Kid's ex-teammates show up, where they proceed to mock him for the training with his father, and mock Terryman in the process, at which point Volcano reveals he was the jujitsu chojin that displaced Kid and stole his teammates for a new club.
Terryman recognises him as the son of The Mountain, and Volcano declares that he wishes to challenge Kid to a fight to the death, which will occur in two days time. The Mountain is driving the truck that takes them away, and rams a street-sign that is sent hurtling against Terryman, who is injured by the pole. Terryman teaches Kid not to be afraid, which inspires Kid to train and remove all the remaining stumps, and Terryman leaves to go to bed for the evening. The following day, Kid has removed all stumps but one.
There is a four-leafed clover under the roots of the final tree, but Kid remove the tree stump without harming the four-leafed clover, and this begins the creation of his new signature technique: the Texas Clover-Hold. This move is witnessed by Terryman, who watches in surprise the success of his son.
Two days later, Terryman drives to the Palo Duro Canyon with Terry the Kid.
Terryman watches from the side-lines, as Kid expresses fear at the upcoming events, and Kid's club cheer on for Volcano. The Mountain reveals that he chose the venue due to his match against Terryman happening in a mountain range, and discusses how - after he died and went to the Chojin Graveyard - that Satan gave him a chance at a new life in order to exact his revenge. He raised his son to exact revenge on his behalf. Terryman states that he believes his son will win, as his son has the passion and heart.
At several times, Kid expresses fear throughout the match. Terryman reiterates that he believes in Kid's abilities and that Kid has a Texan spirit, and that - if he could overcome his training - he can overcome this match with just as much ease. Kid proceeds to use the Texas Clover-Hold, which defeats Volcano and secures him a victory. After Kid manages to save his lucky charm, Terryman appears on the ring and reveals that is where the name of their family-technique originated, as well as that he is proud of his son.
Hercules Factory Arc
Originally, Terryman had little impact in the sequel story. He appeared as one of the vanquished veteran chojin who were defeated by the dMp, but for the most part appeared in flashbacks regarding his son.
It is revealed at the Hercules Factory that Terryman still spoke highly and kindly about Kinnikuman, even slapping his own son for accusing Kinnikuman of stealing the glory, the limelight and the best trophies from his friend. This forces Terryman and Kinnikuman to attempt to repair the friendship between their sons; it pushes their sons into a repeat of their vitriolic, close knit, argumentative relationship of their earlier days.
D.M.p Arc
Terryman appears in several small flashbacks.
He explains to Terry the Kid that the Kenyon family aren't designed for high-impact power moves, as they do not put on a lot of muscle mass, and thus Terry the Kid would hurt himself trying moves like the Kinniku Buster. They instead inherit massive arm and leg strength, as well as a tenacious spirit, and have strong signature moves, such as the Spinning Toe Hold.
In a second flashback, Kid remembers how his father would ride horses in the ranch, and how - one time - he was thrown from the horse and Kid assumed he would be hurt. Terryman catches his balance and holds himself upright on the horse with both hands, and uses this as a lesson to Kid not to ever look away in fear, as the Texas spirit is what makes their clan strong and will always protect them.
Ultimate Chojin Tag Tournament
Prehistory
Terryman is first seen winning the 1983 Universal Tag Tournament.
He - alongside Kinnikuman - wins the tournament with Muscle Docking at 48 minutes and 23 seconds. They are stopped from removing the Championship trophy by the Time Chojin, who Terryman suspects are ancient Chojin from the past, unaware of their current status or strength or purpose.
They attack Terryman, who has been weakened by his previous battle. The Time Chojin reveal they are from 34 years in the future, setting the current arc in 2017. Robin Mask intervenes to save Terryman and Kinnikuman's lives, but dies in the process, which leads to Kevin Mask dying in 2017, as he is slowly wiped from existence. This triggers the New Generation to go back, in an attempt to save Robin's life.
The New Generation arrive before the Legends, but - when Terry the Kid seeks to make contact with his father - Terryman swat him away at a distance. Terryman believes them to be on the side of the Time Chojin, so he refuses to trust them. [148] After Alisa Mackintosh is severely injured in place of Robin Mask, the Time Chojin say that this is proof they are all on the same side, and Terryman completely distrusts them. When the New Generation attempts to make an emergency phone call, this panics the Legends - unused to seeing cell phones - and Terryman attacks Check Mate.
Harabote Muscle then announces a new Ultimate Chojin Tag Tournament.
On television, it is revealed Kinnikuman and Terryman have reformed The Machineguns, were they are seen training and sparring together. Terryman later spies on Terry the Kid and Robin Mask, as they train in an old gymnasium, but Natsuko Shono unmasks him and confronts him. Terryman later arrives at the tournament itself alongside Kinnikuman as Entry #1. Terryman starts an argument with Terry the Kid, when Harabote announces a battle royale to decide the tournament finalists.
Battle Royale
Terryman and Kinnikuman start the battle royale by attacking Terry the Kid together. Later, while Terryman attacks Neo Chopin, Kinnikuman attacks Roseman; this causes Roseman to expand his rose into full bloom. Roseman uses his Vampire Rose technique against Kinnikuman, and Neo Chopin uses Sickle Note to attack Terryman.
Roseman brags about his technique, as Kinnikuman's breathing starts to slow down. The Adrenalines try to intervene, but The Machineguns tell them to keep back, and Kinnikuman rips his way out of Roseman's body. Terryman also wrenched the sickle from his body, and together The Machineguns use the Muscle Docking techniques against The Celebrities. The Celebrities then disqualified and dragged out of the ring by medics.
After the Time Chojin fight against the Muscle Brothers Nouveau, the Machineguns intervene.
They stop the Time Chojin with backspin kicks, before Terryman captures Lightning in a Pendulum Breaker, and he follows up with a synchronised attack with Kinnikuman. The Time Chojin counter and knock The Machineguns onto the mat. When they struggle in battle, Barrierfreeman and Ilioukhine get involved and protect them. As the other teams are weeded out, they advance to the main tournament by process of elimination. Terryman then warms up with Kinnikuman for the main matches, before being pranked by Mantaro with a fart attack and adding to their rivalry.
Quarter-Finals
The match begins with Ortega and Kinnikuman in the ring; they lock right hands, but Kinnikuman refuses to lock with his left hand. Ortega lunges with a hip attack, and Kinnikuman tries to use a sleeper-hold, but fails. Moaidon clutches at Kinnikuman's left arm, causing him immense pain. Kinnikuman breaks free, as Ortega uses a series of palm strikes. Kinnikuman dodges until Ortega lands a rolling sobat to the stomach, followed by a kick to Kinnikuman's left arm (breaking his attempted Niku Curtain).
Kinnikuman uses a lariat with his right arm. Ortega seems like he may fall from the ring, but uses an Iguazu Terror at the last second and catches Kinnikuman into a neck-lock. He takes Kinnikuman's arm into a crucifixion pose, which reveals a fake skin on Kinnikuman's arm and a huge gash on his skin. Kinnikuman knocks Ortega onto the corner post, at which point Terryman tags into the match and both kick Ortega away. Ortega is knocked down, at which point Kinnikuman reveals that - the night before - he returned the Long Horn in his left arm back to Buffaloman.
Terryman gives Kinnikuman his bandanna to use as a tourniquet, and the two of them team up to use a set of drop-kicks against the Carpet Bombings to keep them at bay, which is followed by a pair of head-scissors. At this point, Terryman kicks Kinnikuman out of the ring to force him to take a break. Terryman appears to gain the upper-hand over Moaidon. This is followed by a Bronco Fist. Moaidon falls over the ropes, but grabs the top-rope at the last second. He lands back in the ring and Terryman uses a Spinning Toe Hold against him.
Moaidon uses his Brilliant Rock, which constricts his leg around Terryman's torso. He delivers a series of blows against Terryman, who refuses to touch Kinnikuman out of a desire to protect him, and Moaidon uses a Moai Doai Merikov, which is followed by an Atonement Awl. This is aimed at Kinnikuman, but Terryman jumps between Kinnikuman and Ortega. Ortega uses a Somersault Grand Slam. Terryman is then thrown into Moaidon's Liar's Mouth, which will close/slam down on Terryman any time he answers a question truthfully. Moaidon asks and Terryman answers:
Do you prefer hamburgers to gyudon? Yes.
Do you prefer blonde Americans to any other women? No.
Do you wish to usurp Kinnikuman as leader of the Machineguns? No.
Would you sacrifice your life for someone else? Yes.
The blows that result from truthful answers lead Terryman to be severely injured, as such Kinnikuman touches Terryman and tags into the ring. Kinnikuman forces his knee into the Liar's Mouth to stop it from crushing Terryman. He drags Terryman out of the Liar's Mouth, and Moaidon attempts a Rock Smash, which Kinnikuman evades. This is followed by expelling flatulence on Moaidon's face, and then a Pants Driver on Ortega. Kinnikuman delivers a set of horizontal chops to Moaidon, and the Carpet Bombings exchange a series of blows with Kinnikuman, until they force him to use his left arm, which knocks away the bandanna and reopens his wound.
The open gash on Kinnikuman's arm reveals there is no bone inside. The Carpet Bombings focus their attacks on Kinnikuman's left arm, as he uses the bandanna again as a tourniquet, and Moaidon uses a Iguazu Terror again. This leads them to use a Machu Pichu Crash. They place Kinnikuman into the Liar's Mouth, at which point he asks the following questions to Kinnikuman and Kinnikuman answers as follows:
Do you think your mask is ugly? Yes.
Did you wet the bed until you were eighteen? Yes.
Is it true you don't trust the New Generation? Yes.
Do you hate Mantaro most of all? Yes.
The Liar's Mouth closes on all answers except for the final question about hating Mantaro. Kinnikuman continues to assert he will never recognise Mantaro as his son, to which Meat speculates the Liar's Mouth goes off the truth deep in your heart and not what you believe to be true, so - deep down - Kinnikuman does not hate Mantaro. Mantaro shouts advice to Kinnikuman, which enables him to escape the Liar's Mouth, except for his left arm that is trapped inside. Ortega continues to attack Kinnikuman, until the bone in his arm starts to grow back.
Mantaro explains the bone is growing back due to the pressure of the Liar's Mouth acting as a form of pressurisation training, and that Kinnikuman's chojin heritage is amplifying its effects. Kinnikuman uses his Burning Inner Strength to throw Moaidon to the canvas, at which point his wound closes, and Terryman tags himself into the match. Terryman takes Moaidon in a Texas Clover Hold, while Kinnikuman takes Ortega in a compact hold, but they are thrown as Moaidon uses a Moai Doai Merikov. Ortega tries an Atonement Awl, while Terryman uses a Texas Twister, and this is followed by Kinnikuman using a Muscle Lariat.
Kinnikuman uses a Kinniku Buster on Ortega, and Terryman uses a Kinniku Driver on Moaidon. The Machineguns combine their techniques to use the Muscle Docking. Ortega falls from the Andes ring, followed by Moaidon, and the chairperson calls the match in the Machineguns' favour. The Carpet Bombings are then taken away on stretchers. Terryman and Kinnikuman celebrate with Natsuko and Bibimba respectively, until Mantaro tries to congratulate Kinnikuman. Kinnikuman rejects him, claiming that the Liar's Mouth was broken and he still hates Mantaro, and Mantaro responds by that he will never call Kinnikuman 'Father' again, as he leaves.
Semi-Finals
The tug-of-war match-up occurs on the 13th of May, 1983.
He stays with Kinnikuman in their waiting room, until ushered out by Bibimba. Just as everyone gives up hope that Kinnikuman will make it out on time, Kinnikuman exits the waiting-room and presents Terryman with his Texan hat and seems in perfect health. They perform the tug-of-war and are assigned the Muscle Brothers Nouveau as their opponents during the semi-final match.
The match starts ten minutes later.
Terryman enters the ring with Kinnikuman in perfect unison. After Kinnikuman declares a 'mask versus mask' death-match, he takes the lead and Terryman stands on the sides. He is later tagged into the match, where they are able to attack Mantaro together with tag-moves, which culminates in a Guillotine Drop. Chaos soon tags in and after attacking Terryman, works with Mantaro to attack Kinnikuman, and it is then Terryman notices the Demon Hourglass is still on Kinnikuman's chest.
Terry the Kid begs him to throw in the towel, which causes Terryman to notice that Mantaro's leg is starting to disappear, and - only revealing the Machineguns never bring towels to matches - Terry the Kid throws into the ring the Great Texan Hat. Terryman then turns against Kinnikuman, by provoking him and insulting him, which causes the sand in his Demon Hourglass to rise to the top; Terryman has worked out that inspiring Kinnikuman to hate him with cause the Iron Sweat, which will amplify the magnetic powers of his mask, and this will draw the sands of the hourglass upwards. This breaks the curse and saves him.
Mantaro tags in Chaos, who protects him from Kinnikuman's advances. After Chaos takes the lead, he learns about the value of teamwork and tags Mantaro back into the m Mantaro is taken into a Kamehame Lock, but distracts Kinnikuman by undoing the strings to his mask, and takes him into a Sleeper Hold. After Kinnikuman gains the upper-hand, Mantaro breaks his finger to escape the hold and uses a Kilaeau Stretch, and proceeds to throw Mantaro from the War Cube.
Kinnikuman saves him just in time, and both partners are tagged into the match. The Muscle Brothers Nouveau use a Double Shoulder Buster on the Machineguns. The Machineguns counter with a Muscle Docking, but - due to Kinnikuman's fatigue it is not at full power. Mantaro flashes back to his youth, and he uses his father's advice to break free from an attack, before using a Skull Campana with Chaos.
After an exchange of blows, Mantaro saves Kinnikuman from falling out of the War-Cube. They continue with an evenly matched match, until Kinnikuman attempts another Muscle Docking. Mantaro unleashes his Fire of Inner Strength and successfully counters the move. Despite Kinnikuman also channelling his Fire, Mantaro and Chaos defeat them using the Muscle Evolution. Both teams are knocked to the mat, starting a countdown, but Mantaro and Chaos stand in time to be declared the winners.
The Machineguns proceeds to rest, while watching the Five Disasters vs. Nova Hell Expansions.
Post-Tournament
They are both there to witness Muscle Brothers Nouveau win the tournament, which saves Alisa's life and by extension Kevin Mask's life. This ends the arc.

Svp, info about this unique place can be seen
here and
on my notes to this photo above
So what was meant to be an October project has somehow ballooned. Amet has recounted a bit of this on her own entry but for a little further detail. I /love/ Halloween. Especially Halloween for the dolls. I love trying to think of costumes and nifty ways to photograph them for it. It's a bit of a set up because I always want to try something new and a step up from what we did the year before. We had been bandying around the idea of doing Egyptian gear this year but that wasn't feeling right (as pretty as it would be).
I happened to stumble onto Brighnasa's shop on Etsy; it's long, long been in my favorites but I hadn't actually bought anything from her. I guess we needed to find that one perfect item. In this case, it was a ridiculously pretty lock and key back mechanism and as soon as we both saw it, we knew what we could do with it. In short, we got an IDEA and then it got bigger (with a little help from Volks and their sudden steampunk outfit release).
The initial idea was to try and take pictures through out October and include writing with it. At this point, I think this has the potential to run long past October. At least I hope it will. I'm excited to try and tell a story again through pictures and writing. I feel like Amet and I have been writing for ourselves for so long that putting some of this out in public again feels daunting. We did have a blast last year though when we attempted to tell a story with our characters through ADAW. Having something less prompt driven and more in our control is exciting and will hopefully be more enjoyable to read.
One last quick note, Mitchell's nickname is Misha which is what is used in this piece. Mitchell is owned by Amet.

"Ronan half-turns from the counter to look for his companion and then pauses. Misha is standing in front of the window display, ostensibly inspecting the tools laid out for potential buyers but Ronan can see Misha's head isn't tipped downward. His gaze is fixed on the window glass instead where Misha is studying the faint wavery reflection of himself, smiling features relaxed, sliding into almost blankness.
If Misha were human, his gaze might have been called unfocused. It's certainly far more pensive certainly than is his norm, full lips parted and blue eyes faint strips of dark color under pale lowered lashes. The boundless sense of energy that leaves Misha with restless, graceful movements is stilled for once so that the only thing that stirs in Misha's bearing is the silver turnkey in his back, filigree handle making minute twitches as it winds.
His hand tightens on the lid of his package, Ronan watching him, telling himself that he's inspecting his handiwork again. Admiring the craftsmanship that came together so perfectly that it still feels like a miracle. His own distance from his creations is suspect, the lines blurred when he thinks of them as friends. Ronan knows it is a failure on his part that he lacks impartiality, that he cannot simply take pride in his work and nothing more. The last line of objectivity (and humility) he has is being able to admire their beauty and not succumb to it.
Misha is sorely testing that. There is nothing distant or friendly in the way Ronan finds himself admiring Misha's profile, the slender lines of his muscular legs and wiry hips and the way his back emerges, solid and proud. There is nothing objective in noticing those sweetly curving lips and strong nose or the way his eyes are heavy-lidded, secretive and dreamy. He is beautiful, mannerisms more human than some of the people in this shop -- at least to Ronan and perhaps he is biased.
Misha feels like a miracle and Ronan knows he is an awful, terrible person because Misha isn't supposed to be with him at all. Misha isn't supposed to be his and yet the only thing that feels like it matters these days, the only awareness he can't seem to shake, is that of Misha is by his side."
