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?

Panel Discussion “Influencing Change – Donor Climate Finance at Work”
A key event of the Donor Programme was a panel entitled Influencing Change – Donor Climate Finance at Work where we heard about the role donors and the private sector play in shaping the post-Paris environment in the EBRD region.
This focused on the scaling up of the EBRD’s green finance between now and 2020, which will support countries’ ambitions to move to a low-carbon, green growth path.
The Programme also offered an opportunity for donors and the EBRD to discuss the results of their partnership, progress over the past year as well as future challenges and reforms. The Donor Report 2015 was also launched. The day concluded with a donor Assembly of the SEMED Multi-donor Fund, which will include a session on the Bank’s refugee response.

The Cisitalia, a revolutionary sports car, had a profound influence on automobile design after World War II. It's by Pininfarina, an exceptionally talented Italian coach builder – the person responsible for designing an auto body, but not necessarily the underlying frame or chassis, nor the engine.
You might start looking at the car from behind. That oval panel at the very back is where you put your luggage in. Above it, the body rises in sensuous, unbroken curves. Now walk around to the side. From here, your eyes can follow the lines of this automotive masterpiece from one end to the other. Notice the horizontal line that sweeps from the front along the length of the car until just before the rear wheel. There, it meets a rising curve which pushes forward—a subtle manipulation that creates an aura of speed even when the car is standing still.
You can see that Pininfarina sculpted the contours in a continuous flow, with no sharp angles. He was inspired by aerodynamic studies developed for race cars. In fact, this car was intended for racing as well as pleasure. Every part – headlights, door handles, fenders, is integrated into the overall design. In earlier cars, such elements had been stuck on—the designer compared them to bathroom fixtures. Just in front of the windshield, those sleek vertical slots hold semaphores that pop out to act as turn signals.
From the Model T Ford on, most cars have been mass produced in an assembly line, with body panels stamped out by machines. But the Cisitalia’s lightweight, malleable aluminum panels were shaped over wooden molds, a labor-intensive process. Less than 200 were ever produced.
Pininfarina designed this car shortly after World War II. In a world emerging from the ruins, he called the Cisitalia, "new, alive and efficient." His design broke what he termed "many rust-covered rules... I had understood that the old shapes had seen their time," he said. "The car had to have pure, smooth, essential lines." Indeed, the forward-looking, progressive design of the Cisitalia seems to epitomize a sense of postwar optimism. Not surprisingly, it won numerous awards when it was unveiled at the most prestigious auto shows. MOMA first exhibited the Cisitalia in 1951.
This week I spent four days in Limerick and as an experiment I limited myself to three Zeiss Batis lenses [25mm, 85mm and 135] as they are weatherproof. For most of the time I used the 25mm lens which proved to be the more useful of the three and I must admit that I really like it.
The weather forecast indicated that it would rain for much of the week but in reality is was sunny for most of my visit and on Thursday it became too hot for me between 3pm an 6pm.
For about five years I stayed at the George Boutique hotel but this year I could not afford the asking price for two nights and I got a much better offer from Pery's Hotel which was much closer to the railway station. To be honest I was a little bit concerned when I made the booking but the hotel turned out to be much more suitable for me than the George - the room was huge [it actually had three single beds] and the location was excellent especially as it was close to a large selection of restaurants.
The Hotel proved to be an excellent base and I managed to photograph much more of the city that I had on previous visits.
On Wednesday the 19th. June 2019 I walked from my hotel to Mount St. Lawrence Cemetery and it was much closer than had expected and then I got the 304 bus to the University of Limerick campus which I had not intended to visit until Thursday or Friday.
As of August 20th 2013, Mayor of Limerick Kathleen Leddin launched an online database which holds information on the 70,000 buried in the graveyard, dating from 1855 to 2008. This database will contain information such as the names, addresses, times of death, position of graves, ages and dates of deaths of those buried in Mount St. Lawrence. This will contribute greatly to the city and surrounding areas. The city can use the information on the records to give accurate figures on the mortality rate, for example. It will also help to discover what the problems were in the hospitals of Limerick back in those times and why the death rate was so high.
Cemeteries in Limerick began to fall under immense pressure due to cholera epidemics in the 1830’s and the Great Famine in the 1840’s. This led to the founding of Mount St. Lawrence cemetery. Originally it formed part of the larger medieval parish of St. Lawrence in Limerick. This parish also contained a leper hospital, granted by King John, which was later returned to Limerick Corporation. They then leased some of the land to the Limerick Diocese for use as burials grounds. Mount St. Lawrence was officially opened on March 29th 1849 in a ceremony presided over by Dr John Ryan, Bishop of Limerick at this time. The Neo-Gothic Church was designed as a mortuary chapel by architects M & S Hennessy, who also designed the tall spire of St. John's Cathedral, which is now a notable point in Limerick City. It was designed in Celtic and Gothic Revival styles with an Arts and Crafts influenced interior. Mount St Lawrence graveyard was the primary place of burial in Limerick City for all members and classes of society, from the wealthy and powerful to those poverty stricken.
Mount Saint Lawrence has always contained plots reserved for certain groups, for example, religious graves, diocesan graves and a Republican plot.
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.
Mariah Carey - We Belong Together
Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1969 or 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. In 1990, she rose to fame with the release of "Vision of Love" from her eponymous debut album. The album produced four chart-topping singles in the US and began what would become a string of commercially successful albums which solidified the singer as Columbia's highest selling act. Carey and Boyz II Men spent a record sixteen weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 in 1995–96 with "One Sweet Day," which remains the longest-running number-one song in US chart history. Following a contentious divorce from Sony Music head Tommy Mottola, Carey adopted a new image and traversed towards hip hop with the release of Butterfly (1997). In 1998, she was honored as the world's best-selling recording artist of the 1990s at the World Music Awards and subsequently named the best-selling female artist of the millennium in 2000.
Carey parted with Columbia in 2000, and signed a record-breaking $100 million recording contract with Virgin Records America. In the weeks prior to the release of her film Glitter and its accompanying soundtrack in 2001, she suffered a physical and emotional breakdown and was hospitalized for severe exhaustion. The project was poorly received and led to a general decline in the singer's career. Carey's recording contract was bought out for $50 million by Virgin and she signed a multi-million dollar deal with Island Records the following year. After a relatively unsuccessful period, she returned to the top of music charts with The Emancipation of Mimi (2005). The album became the best-selling album in the US and the second best-seller worldwide in 2005 and produced "We Belong Together," which became her most successful single of the 2000s, and was later named "Song of the Decade" by Billboard. Carey once again ventured into film with a well-received supporting role in Precious (2009), and was awarded the "Breakthrough Performance Award" at the Palm Springs International Film Festival.

The Barracks is of Colonial Gothic architecture with Tudor influences, the architect being, Richard Roach Jewell.
A free standing arch is all that remains after demolition in 1966 of the three storey building that housed the Pensioner Guards (an organized body of soldiers in the prime of life who protected the public from convicts). It was lights out at 10pm, the "Taps" as they called the corporal's that went around tapping at each door to check if the inmates were in.
This building with striking design, dominated the city for a 100 years, the Pensioner Guard was disbanded, a few old pensioners remained in the building for a while and in 1904 it became the Public Works Department.
In 1869 During building of the Barracks, two men were removing timber supports on a newly sunken well, and one workman was buried 20 feet down by a fall of sand, 150 convicts, townspeople and pensioners rescued the injured man at midnight after being intombed 11 hours.
In 1887 A fire burned down some of the east wing and the lower floor of the archway (black scorch marks can still be seen), the fire caused great excitement for the residents of Perth and even as far as Fremantle, as the Fremantle Fire Brigade came thundering on the new railway train, making to journey to West Perth in the record time of 15 minutes, water had to come from the Swan River, brought up in buckets by a human chain.
In Oct 1961 the Royal W.A. Historical Society set up a Barrack's Defence Council for the preservation of the Barracks.
In 1963 Premier Brand announced that "though it was impracticable to retain the wings, the Archway would be retained.
In 1966 The bulldozer moved in and removed the wings of the Barracks.
Built in 1863 and extended in 1873.

Xochimilco is better known for its extended series of canals — all that remains of the ancient Lake Xochimilco. Xochimilco has kept its ancient traditions, even though its proximity to Mexico City influence that area to urbanize. Movies like Maria Candelaria (1940), have given that area a romantic reputation where all inhabitants travel in colourful trajineras (Xochimilco boats) between chinampas covered with flowers.
I would be very grateful if you would take a moment to read this:
This series of photographs was taken on the afternoon of Saturday the 8th of March 2008, United Nations’ International Women’s Day & which in France was dedicated to Ingrid Betancourt who has been held hostage now for over six years.
They were taken on the Passerelle (footbridge) Simone de Beauvoir in Paris, France - which was shared by the Support Committee for Ingrid Betancourt & the Hostages held in Colombia, and the association for women's rights 'Ni Putes, Ni Soumises'.
It has been an especially difficult past few weeks for Ingrid’s family & friends (especially for her two children Mélanie & Lorenzo). Following the release of Clara Rojas & Consuelo Gonzalez de Perdomo in January, four other hostages (Gloria Polanco, Luis Eladio Perez Bonilla, Jorge Eduardo Gechem & Orlando Beltran) were liberated by the FARC on Wednesday the 27th February 2008. News of their release was wonderful and a sign of hope for the other hostages & their families - that a peace process would be possible, leading to further releases - but they brought with them bad news concerning Ingrid. She is being treated very badly by her captors and is extremely ill - suffering from a recurring hepatitis B infection which, if left untreated by doctors; will undoubtedly kill her. Consuelo Gonzalez has described the conditions of captivity; the lack of hygiene in the forest where the hostages are held, the non-existence of doctors and medication. In such conditions, Ingrid has only a limited number of weeks left.
President Uribe and the Colombian government have decided to turn their backs on a possible peace process by attacking the FARC and killing Raul Reyes and another senior member of the group. Reyes was negotiating with Ecuadorian, Venezuelan & French officials with the aim of releasing a further 19 hostages this month, including Ingrid Betancourt. These hopes have just been smashed to pieces at a moment when time is running out fast.
Uribe was aware of the negotiations and in spite of international calls for the two sides to talk and come to a peaceful settlement, he decided to answer the release of hostages with bullets and arms. The only voice President Uribe listens to at the moment is that of the government of United States of America. If there are U.S. citizens reading this, I ask you to please contact your Governors, Senators and Representatives. Please try and help make a difference. I know it sounds useless and impossible, but Ingrid hasn’t got much time left. If we all try and act to make a difference, it can be done. I would like to encourage everyone, no-matter where you are, to spread the word and try to get in touch with those who have enough influence to make that difference.
If you are a Senator, Representative, politician, an official or adviser, (not highly likely I know, but…), then I ask you to try for a moment and imagine this was happening to you or someone you know. Really, try to imagine for a moment that your political combat for freedom and justice resulted in you being held for years away from your family, that you were seriously ill with little time left – that your children grew to adulthood without you, fought everyday for your liberation so that the world would not forget you and that you may never see them again… imagine for one slight moment – then surely you realise that you must do all you can….
I would like to dedicate this day to Ingrid Betancourt & to all the courageous women such as Ingrid, the Nobel Peace Prize winners Shirin Ebadi & Aung San Suu Kyi, and the many other women who are fighting for Liberty & Justice against all odds. These women are our mothers… our sisters… our daughters… our wives… our girlfriends… our best friends.

I spent a large portion of the morning sorting through my vintage patterns. It must have influenced my clothing decision, because when I looked in the mirror I felt a bit like Coco Chanel (especially in this photo)
sweater/shirt - target
sailor jeans - gap outlet
