The Soft Moon is a San Francisco-based neo-post-punk band influenced by early Bay Area avant-gardists such as Chrome, Units and Minimal Man. Their cataclysmic delivery makes listeners contemplate the deeper aspects of the primal self through weeping guitar leads, cutting bass lines, haunting vocals, icy synths and motorik beats. Mix in the mind-bending visuals of band member Ron Robinson and we have one hell of a Room 205 episode.
BIO
Raised under the burning sun of the Mojave desert, Luis Vasquez channels both his punk upbringing and Afro-Cuban heritage to sculpt dystopian soundscapes for a new generation of torn romantics. Vasquez founded The Soft Moon in 2009 as a means to explore music on a more visceral level, releasing the singles "Breathe the Fire" and "Parallels" on the Captured Tracks label. Shortly thereafter he brought on bassist Justin Anastasi, drum machine & synth programmer Damon Way and visual artist Ron Robinson. The debut LP, The Soft Moon, continues Vasquez's deeply personal journey into primal expression and spontaneous creation.

Looking up at the formidable structure of Powis Castle from the Aviary Terrace.
With its Italian and French-influenced garden and commanding position high above the Severn Valley, near Welshpool in Mid Wales, Powis Castle – Castell Powis or Castell Coch in Welsh – is both a dominating fortress and splendid stately home.
Originally a medieval fortress built in the early 13th century for the Welsh princes of Powys, the castle developed over the years to become a family mansion for the Herbert family, who laid out the French and Italian-influenced formal gardens with their grand terracing, statues and orangery.
Still standing in much the same way as it did at the height of its power – due in no small part to its continuous occupation – the buildings, towers gatehouses and all, date originally from the 13th century, although developed and extended up to the 19th.
The castle became home to the Herbert family, the present occupants, in 1578, with Sir Edward Herbert carrying out extensive repair work over the following 30 years.
The Royalist family were thrown out by the Parliamentarians during the Civil War, but had the castle returned upon the Restoration, needing once more to repair and renovate.
The gardens date from the 1670s, when William Winde was responsible for improvements to the castle under the guidance of William, third Lord Powis, and possibly led the landscaping work as well. They were further improved in the early 20th century.
The Herberts married into the family of Clive of India in the 19th century, allowing the castle to remain in good shape – today, it houses the Clive Museum with fine French and English furniture and Italian art.
Powis was given to the National Trust in 1952, the family finally moving out completely in 1988.

Scientists constructed a food web model using data from published studies and their field experiences to understand how specific Louisiana salt marsh organisms influenced ecosystem response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The researchers found that carnivorous fishes were “critically resilient” and likely enhanced food web resilience. Gulls, terns, omnivorous snails, and wading birds were “critically sensitive” and potentially destabilized the food web. The framework for assessing how individual species influence food web responses to stressors is applicable to other marsh threats and to habitats beyond Louisiana marshes. The researchers published their findings in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment: Key taxa in food web responses to stressors: the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Photo Caption: The authors created a salt marsh food web with oil sensitivity ratings for each species or node. Clear circles indicate no data available. Blue, yellow, and red circles depict sensitivity scores of 0, 1, and 2, respectively. Nodes are arranged so that trophic level increases vertically.

Aisle window from 1952 by the Earley Studio of Dublin. The style is strongly influenced by the work of Irish master glass artist Harry Clarke, though some two decades after his death.
St Osburg's is Coventry's prinicpal Roman Catholic church and one usually neglected by visitors, being situated inconveniently just the wrong side of the inner ring road from the city centre, though only a short walk from it. It is nonetheless a gem and rewards a visit with it's beautiful Irish stained glass.
The church was built in 1843-5 by Charles Hansom, and has a tapering south west steeple that provides a much needed landmark in this fringe of suburbia. At first sight it appears rather an unremarkable, run of the mill exercise in Victorian Gothic. It suffered serious damage during the Coventry Blitz of November 1940, when the chancel took a direct hit, bringing down it's roof and much of it's masonrym and generally destroying the church's furnishings and windows. The nave however was in better shape and was patched up towards the end of the war for the resemption of services whilst the chancel remained a ruin until a fuller restoration c1950.
The postwar restoration saw the installation of a stunning set of stained glass windows, all the work of the Earley Studio of Dublin (1950-52), culminating in the magnificent east window depicting Mary's Assumption surrounded by angels in rich, glowing colours, providing a superb focal point for the interior. The flanking chapels, dedicated to Our Lady and St Benedict respictively, recieved striking new mosaic murals in opus sectile.
The church has recently emerged from a further major restoration in 2010-11 and is looking all the more splendid for it, with a freshly redecorated and reordered interior. The new altar houses three alabaster figures of Mary with SS Denis and Lawrence, at least two of which appear to be medieval but of unknown provenance.
I've known the city for so many years but never visited this church till now, and it was something of a revelation; I found the church open for visitors and private prayer, but am not sure of the normal arrangements.

Harlem Plantation House
Hwy 39
Pointe-a-la-Hache, Louisiana
Plaquemines Parish
circa 1840
Builder/Architect unknown
Harlem Plantation House is a frame, one-and-a-half story, raised cottage which reflects both French and Anglo-American influences. It is located in a rural setting on the east bank of the Mississippi River about five miles upriver from Pointe a la Hache. The house was constructed c.1840 and received substantial renovations c.1910. Despite these alterations, Harlem retains those features which establish its identity as an Anglo-Creole raised cottage and hence its significance.
Harlem has a five-bay facade with a set-in gallery. A large central entrance is flanked by French windows with shutters. There are gable returns on the side elevations and two interior chimneys. The French floor plan has three rooms, each with its own fireplace, and two cabinets. The three front rooms are symmetrical with an unusually large central room flanked by two smaller rooms of equal size. A rear wing, which features a gable front, was probably a detached outbuilding at one time. The only c.1840 features remaining in the interior are the floor plan and three wooden Greek Revival mantels.
Harlem underwent a substantial renovation c.1910. Elements that date from that period include the extensive interior beaded siding; the stairway with turned balusters and fluted, corbelled newel posts; much of the interior woodwork; and the shed-type dormers. In the mid-twentieth century, a rear sun porch was added.
Harlem Plantation House is architecturally significant on the local level as an important example of a moderate sized plantation house within the context of Mississippi River plantations below New Orleans. It is one of very few remaining examples in that area, where once they must have been fairly numerous. In addition, it is particularly noteworthy (within the same geographical context) because it illustrates the transition
from French to Anglo-American building traditions. The Mississippi River below New Orleans was and is one of the main arteries of transportation in the nation, and undoubtedly most of the plantations along the river had relatively modest residences like Harlem. Many of these, however, have disappeared from the area, leaving Harlem as one of very few surviving examples. Harlem is further distinguished (within the same geographical context) as a transitional building which reflects both the French and Anglo-American traditions. The hall-less plan and the chimney placement reflect
the French influence, while the symmetrical articulation and the sash type windows reflect the Anglo-American influence. Harlem is noteworthy in this regard because its central room (a common feature in transitional architecture) is unusually large.

I draped and sewed fabric around two bodies then manipulated the shape it hung in. I question the forever changing relationships people share. At the beginning of a relationship the fabric would have no creases or alterations but as history and time is taken, the fabric of life is influenced and repositioned in certain places to create a layered, some times hidden, flowing story. What if our clothing represented the life changes and alterations we as individuals have experienced?

INSPIRATION
(Represented by the rainbow breath)
*God-Breathed
* Divine guidance and influence on human beings
*Something that stimulates the human mind to creative thought or to the making of art.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (N.I.V)
Genesis 2:7
The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. (N.I.V)
This verse shows that we are literally God-breathed (Inspired by God himself to reflect God)
* “Come to church for inspiration not information” (act out what you know)
What is your motivation for inspiration?
In other words is your inspiration really God-Breathed. (From god)
STARS*
In the painting mean:
Philippians 2:14-15
Do everything without complaining of arguing, so that you ma become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.
To be true representations of God we have to shine, stand out in our generation in the same way how stars stand out in the universe. God created us to be like stars, standing out as a light in a world full of sin and death.
*The sun is a star and the only star in our galaxy. (That’s how bright stars are!)

Hội An is a city of Vietnam, on the coast of the South China Sea in the South Central Coast region of Vietnam. It is located in Quảng Nam Province and is home to approximately 120,000 inhabitants. It is recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Hội An Ancient Town is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a South-East Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century. Its buildings and its street plan reflect the influences, both indigenous and foreign, that have combined to produce this unique heritage site.The city possessed the largest harbour in Southeast Asia in the 1st century and was known as Lâm Ấp Phố (Champa City). Between the seventh and 10th centuries, the Cham (people of Champa) controlled the strategic spice trade and with this came tremendous wealth. The former harbour town of the Cham at the estuary of the Thu Bồn River was an important Vietnamese trading centre in the 16th and 17th centuries, where Chinese from various provinces as well as Japanese, Dutch and Indians settled. During this period of the China trade, the town was called Hai Pho (Seaside Town) in Vietnamese. Originally, Hai Pho was a divided town with the Japanese settlement across the "Japanese Bridge" (16th-17th century). The bridge (Chùa cầu) is a unique covered structure built by the Japanese, the only known covered bridge with a Buddhist temple attached to one side.
ETYMOLOGY
Hội An translates as "peaceful meeting place". In English and other European languages, the town was known historically as Faifo. This word is derived from Vietnamese Hội An phố (the town of Hội An), which was shortened to "Hoi-pho", and then to "Faifo".
HISTORY
The early history of Hội An is that of the Cham. These Austronesian-speaking Malayo-Polynesian peoples created the Champa Empire which occupied much of what is now central and lower Vietnam, from Huế to beyond Nha Trang. Various linguistic connections between Cham and the related Jarai language and the Austronesian languages of Indonesia (particularly Acehnese), Malaya, Cambodia and Hainan has been documented. In the early years, Mỹ Sơn was the spiritual capital, Trà Kiệu was the political capital and Hội An was the commercial capital of the Champa Empire - later, by the 14th century, the Cham moved further down towards Nha Trang. The river system was the transportation for goods between the highlands, inland countries of Laos and Thailand and the low lands.In 1535 Portuguese explorer and sea captain António de Faria, coming from Đà Nẵng, tried to establish a major trading center at the port village of Faifo. Hội An was founded as a trading port by the Nguyễn Lord Nguyễn Hoàng sometime around 1595. The Nguyễn lords were far more interested in commercial activity than the Trịnh lords who ruled the north. As a result, Hội An flourished as a trading port and became the most important trade port on the South China Sea. Captain William Adams, the English sailor and confidant of Tokugawa Ieyasu, is known to have made at least one trading mission to Hội An (around 1619). The early Portuguese Jesuits also had one of their two residences at Hội An.
In the 18th century, Hội An was considered by Chinese and Japanese merchants to be the best destination for trading in all of Southeast Asia, even Asia. Japanese believed the heart of all of Asia (the dragon) lay beneath the earth of Hội An. The city also rose to prominence as a powerful and exclusive trade conduit between Europe, China, India, and Japan, especially for the ceramic industry. Shipwreck discoveries have shown that Vietnamese and Asian ceramics were transported from Hội An to as far as Sinai, Egypt.Hội An's importance waned sharply at the end of the 18th century because of the collapse of Nguyễn rule (thanks to the Tây Sơn Rebellion - which was opposed to foreign trade).
Then, with the triumph of Emperor Gia Long, he repaid the French for their aid by giving them exclusive trade rights to the nearby port town of Đà Nẵng. Đà Nẵng became the new center of trade (and later French influence) in central Vietnam while Hội An was a forgotten backwater. Local historians also say that Hội An lost its status as a desirable trade port due to silting up of the river mouth. The result was that Hội An remained almost untouched by the changes to Vietnam over the next 200 years.
Today, the town is a tourist attraction because of its history, traditional architecture and crafts such as textiles and ceramics. Many bars, hotels, and resorts have been constructed both in Hội An and the surrounding area. The port mouth and boats are still used for both fishing and tourism.
WEATHER
Calm mild weather is now limited to the season of May/June - end of August when the seas are calm and wind changes direction and comes from the South. The remainder of the year the weather is intermittent between rain & cold and hot & mild. Popular activities such as visiting offshore Cù lao Chàm islands are only guaranteed to be likely during the short season of end of May to end of August, which is the high season for domestic tourism.
HERITAGE AND TOURISM
In 1999, the old town was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO as a well-preserved example of a Southeast Asian trading port of the 15th to 19th centuries, with buildings that display a unique blend of local and foreign influences. According to the UNESCO Impact Report 2008 on Hội An, tourism has bought changes to the area which are not sustainable without mitigation. Due to the increased number of tourists visiting Hoi An a variety of activities are emerging which allow guests to get out of the old quarter and explore by motorbike, bicycle, Kayak or motorboat. The Thu Bon River is still essential to the region more than 500 years after António de Faria first navigated it and it remains an essential form of food production and transport. As such kayak and motorboat rides are becoming an increasingly popular tourist activity.
MUSEUM
The city has four museums highlighting the history of the region. These museums are managed by the Hoi An Center for Cultural Heritage Management and Preservation. Entrance to the museum is permitted with a Hoi An Entrance Ticket.
The Museum of History and Culture, at 13 Nguyen Hue St, was originally a pagoda, built in the 17th century by Minh Huong villagers to worship the Quan An, and is adjacent to the Quan Cong temple. It contains original relics from the Sa Huynh, Champa, Dai Viet and Dai Nam periods, tracing the history of Hoi An's inhabitants from its earliest settlers through to French colonial times.
The Hoi An Folklore Museum, at 33 Nguyen Thai Hoc St, was opened in 2005, and is the largest two-storey wooden building in the old town, at 57m long and 9m wide, with fronts at Nguyen Thai Hoc St and Bach Dang St. On the second floor, there are 490 artifacts, organised into four areas: plastic folk arts, performing folk arts, traditional occupations and artefacts related to the daily life of Hoi An residents.
The Museum of Trade Ceramics is located at 80 Tran Phu St, and was established in 1995, in a restored wooden building, originally built around 1858. The items originating from Persia, China, Thailand, India and other countries are proof of the importance of Hội An as a major trading port in South East Asia.
The Museum of Sa Huỳnh Culture, is located at 149 Tran Phu St. Established in 1994, this museum displays a collection of over 200 artifacts from the Sa Huỳnh culture - considered to be the original settlers on the Hội An site - dating to over 2000 years ago. This museum is considered to be the most unique collection of Sa Huỳnh artefacts in Vietnam.

Chicago edition of Monday February 3rd, 2013 vigil against the Keystone pipeline project. The State Department, yet another government body riddled with corporate influence and officials who are nothing more than corporate puppets, whores, sycophants and flunkies, has finished its 'evaluation' of the climate and pollution risks of the project and has concluded that the above threats are virtually minimal.
The KXL would route dirty ditbit/bitumen oil from the tar sands fields of Northern Alberta all the way to refineries and ports on the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. We know that all the industry cares about is profits. It doesn't matter to them who is injured, hurt, or suffers in anyway as long as their precious bottom line adds a few more zeros at the end of their fiscal year. Who cares if our most precious grasslands and aquifers are poisoned and destroyed as long as the billionaires can buy more mansions and yachts.
The problem with the one per cent and the politicians who serve them is one of addiction to money and power. And guess who pays the price?
Dilbit oil is the most dirty form of fossil fuel. It needs to stay in the ground forever. The industry claims we don't have to worry about leaks; but pipelines always break. And who would trust the industry not to cut corners on safety concerns when building the pipeline if doing so would bring more profits? In Nebraska they're using so-called 'eminent domain' laws to steal people's land from them.
In Northern Alberta the First Nations people are in the forefront of this battle as the tar sands industry, supported by the extreme anti-environment pro-extraction agenda of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Canadian government, wantonly destroys their ancestral lands in outright violation of treaty agreements.
And so it goes....the resistance to the pipeline is everywhere. A group called Bold Nebraska has organized to prevent the takeover of their lands. And environmentalists have joined in.
The vigil is really for the planet itself. We have to leave fossil fuels in the ground and, concurrently, tear ourselves away from the destructiveness of the endless consumer society. If we don't we're finished. As they say: the planet can live without us, but we cannot live without the planet.
The Irish Rebellion of 1798 was an uprising against British rule in Ireland from May to September 1798. The United Irishmen, a republican revolutionary group influenced by the ideas of the American and French revolutions, were the main organising force behind the rebellion. It was led by Presbyterians angry at being shut out of power by the Anglican establishment, joined by Catholics, who made up the majority of the population. Many Irish Protestants sided with the British, resulting in the conflict taking on the appearance of a sectarian civil war in many areas, with atrocities on both sides. A French army which landed in County Mayo in support of the rebels was overwhelmed by British and loyalist forces. The uprising was suppressed by British Crown forces with a death toll of between 10,000 and 30,000.
It is not often that I get a chance to photograph this as the park is usually full of children and their parents.
St. Michan’s park was first developed by Dublin Corporation as a park in 1898 and was refurbished by the parks division between 1996-7. Facilities include a toddlers’ play area, a handball alley and seating with associated shrub plantings.
Éire 1798 Memorial (1903)
Artist Unknown
Commissioned by Dublin Corporation.
The statue of Éire is the central feature of the park. It is positioned on a raised area of the green with a high pedestal; and dated at the base to 1903. This date puts the installation of the statue at some five years after the park opened. When the site was transformed into a public park the mound had been designed to hold a memorial and the pedestal was installed by at least 1899.
The site was inherently political due to its association with Newgate prison, the walls of which were consciously retained as the outline of the park. Newgate Prison was where many United Irishmen (here commemorated in relief tablets around the base) were incarcerated and this monument was raised to commemorate
the centenary of the death of rebel leader, Robert Emmet.
Éire’s demeanour is subdued and downcast, holding a funerary wreath, a wolfhound looks up at her from one side and in the background the nationalist symbol of the high cross is clearly visible. The base of the monument has an inscription in Irish script with reference to the history of the prison. It reads:
Within this park once stood Newgate prison
Associated in dark and evil days with the doing to death of
Confessors of Irish liberty who gave their lives to vindicate
Their country’s right to National independence
This memorial is erected to perpetuate their memory
To honour their motives and to inculcate a grateful reverence
In Irish minds for sacrifices thus nobly made
For freedom and to proclaim Ireland’s fidelity
To the principles of the men whose names are heron inscribed
In the belief that these will yet redeem and
Regenerate our fatherland for subjection
The name of the sculptor that created this statue is unknown.
