Town Hall Hilversum, the Netherlands
In the Town Hall of Hilversum, architect Dudok language manages the vertical and horizontal volumes, the set of masses against hollow, flat roofs floating and monumentality. This remarkable and in many ways unique structure, whose first sketches were made in 1924, is considered the masterpiece of brilliant but anti avant-garde architect’s career. When the building was completed in 1931, the public embraced this example of modern architecture, for its balance between form and function, and it seemed traditional in composition, fine craftsmen and high quality finishes and materials used. But above all, it was praised for its monumentality. Some critics, however, felt that the building had an anti – structural arrangement, which was proportionally irresponsible in their ways and accused of diluting Dudok modernist designs or be halfway modernism, playing another contemporary, rather than create a formal language itself. By insisting that its architecture lacked a specific style, critics suggested that their designs were not fluent, thus limited to a strict formula for the entire architecture. However, the end result becomes a sculptural expression of a subject composition. It is a testament to the consistent harmonic form, function, art and human need. Hilversum City Council is not only the magnum opus Dudok ‘s career, but also one of the most successful buildings in the history of the modern movement.
The structure consists of load-bearing walls, reinforced concrete floors and concrete lintels above the horizontal windows, while the roof structure in the council chamber is steel. Its balanced masses make a synthesis of functionality and romanticism. Has been criticized, however the arrangement and construction irresponsible proportions addition forms. The use of overhanging eaves, an unusual feature to the Netherlands, and a simple tree -dimensional asymmetric geometry arranged around a square courtyard provide a modern structure while reflecting the medieval municipalities historicism by the presence of a large and a tower room. It is a masonry construction, using, in addition to reinforced concrete and steel beams, yellow bricks specially made for this project, including all facades. Dudok, who also designed the furniture and interior decoration, yellow bricks ordered in special sizes. Some decorative touches were made with blue and green glazed tiles, red tiles strips, black and gold, as the wall facing the columns of the gallery entrance, covered with light blue tiles or dark details on the bases of columns and red in the upper parts. Blue was also used in other decorative details, particularly in the outer columns coating. In the thin elongated interior columns were used and refined golden tiles, highlighting the dark colour of some soils, covered with marbles combinations, like some of the walls in the lobby or the stairwell. Glass is another recurring element in the sophisticated decoration, not only in window openings where clear glass was used, semitransparent, bevelled and stained glass in some gaps, but also excels in the decorative lighting, also designed by the architect.
The building was restored between 1989-1995 by Dutch Van Hoogevest Architects. Restoration costs caused some scandal, as it was at the time the proposal to sell a Mondrian painting from the collection of the city to pay for the restoration.

The United States Congress designated the Spring Basin Wilderness (map) in 2009 and it now has a total of 6,378 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Oregon and is managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
Located just above the John Day River just south of state highway 218 near Clarno, Oregon, the Spring Basin Wilderness is a tapestry of rolling hills, providing spectacular vistas of the river and surrounding landscape. This unique wild area offers a profusion of desert wildflowers in the spring, along with recreational opportunities for hikers, horseback riders, hunters, botanists, and other outdoor enthusiasts. The Spring Basin Wilderness is dominated by big sagebrush, native bunchgrasses, and western juniper, providing important habitat and forage for native wildlife. Several natural fires in recent decades have burned, part of a natural cycle that helps control the spread of native juniper and rejuvenate native plant growth. Fire is an important physical process in a naturally dynamic system. Many non-native plants, including annual grasses such as medusahead rye and cheatgrass have spread into Spring Basin, particularly where there has been a lot of human disturbance. However, native bunchgrasses still cover most of the landscape, providing important habitat and forage for native wildlife.
The wilderness provides habitat for a variety of wildlife, including lizards, snakes, bobcats, coyotes, cougar, mule deer, and elk. A large number of birds also frequent the area, including chukar, meadowlarks, bluebirds, and sharp-shinned hawks. Golden eagles and red-tailed hawks nest in the vicinity.
The wilderness is named for a spring in the center of the area, which produces water year-round, a much-needed oasis in the dry uplands. 40 to 50 million years ago, a chain of volcanoes called the Clarno volcanoes stretched across northeastern Oregon. Multiple eruptions deposited layers of ash, lava, and volcanic mudflows called lahars. Many of the rock outcroppings in Spring Basin were formed by these lahars, which solidified as they cooled, trapping plants and animals and preserving them as fossils. From looking at these fossilized remains, scientists know that at the time the Clarno volcanoes were erupting, Spring Basin’s landscape was covered by a subtropical forest of palms and magnolias, where tiny four-toed horses and huge rhino-like brontotheres roamed.

Finally, I managed to open the box of my new Nikon D700 (which arrived a few days ago but I was just so busy that I never had a chance to open the box!).
As such, the first thing I had to do was to try out its high-iso capability (afterall, that was why I bought this camera). Went out for a quick photo-walk around the block at my work place and saw this very subtle "protest" sign at the corner of Robson and Cardero. I just had to have a picture of this.
Also, the condition back then was VERY dark. In fact, this looks like daylight when compared to the actual conditions. Also, I wasn't using any flash. I'm truly finding that the D700 almost "sucks" light in! Quite impressed with its high iso capability now.
Hope you like my picture of the day as much as I do.
ps - This was taken with ISO 6400.
pps - For those of you not in North America and specifically not in Canada, the Tar Sands is located primarily in Alberta and the way oil is stored in these "tar sands", it requires a different way of extracting it (for petroleum purposes) which is a lot costlier than the traditional way of drilling and more disturbingly, with a MUCH higher environmental impact.
I managed to make 6 pincushions for the photo shoot... they might not even use them... but you never know!

AGAINST ME! - "Burn"
Beautiful to live in poverty
Just to spite what they're selling
Take a thousand hits to prove the rest and I'll move in
Millimeters still won't mean shit against well-done subversion
Fathers of invention will one day turn in their graves
When their own sons and daughters
Manifest destiny into a lesson to others
Sent away my crippled, let the old ones categorize their death camps, they're all dead
[Chorus: x3]
It'll burn burn burn
Like they did to the Anarchists at their stakes
And it'll burn burn burn
Like the histories they stole from us
One day patriotic thugs will dance to songs of justice
And cringe, and rack guns of shame
Well it may take a team of well-rounded hoodlums
In full riot gear to unrest objection
A well-controlled media to pick out our terrorists
When bureaucrats start dying from cancer
There are already businessmen who'll market bottled water
And purified aerosol solution, guess who's their target
Seven approaching a measure off the map
And you'll see me dance in the street once again
[Chorus x3]
And it'll burn burn burn like they did to the Anarchists
And it'll burn burn burn like the histories they stole from us
One day patriotic thugs will dance to songs of justice
And give apologies for immeasurably acted perfection
[Chorus x2]

Recently, I managed to get a lot of 5 of these very rare binders from Denmark. The seller told me that in the 1960's their mother worked at LEGO. Apparently, if a product was not quite up to LEGO standards, the employees were allowed to take it home. That is the case with these binders. :) Now, I'd bet that the ones LEGO gave away are in better condition then the ones actually used by retailers. ;)
"The original Dalmatian dog, an icon of firefighting since the days of horse-drawn fire
vehicles, was once used to manage the horses at the scene of the fire.
The new Spring-tailed Dalmatian shown here is a speculative "designer" breed
created to work with firefighters. Its most notable feature is the coiled tail which
wraps around a fire pole and creates both a secure grip and a cushioned landing.

I managed to find a sizeable job lot of High Speed 1/87 scale trucks on Ebay very cheaply which seems to be the fate of many as they no longer appear to be in fashion. For the price of a basic Hot Wheels you get something much more substantial with its long and fully articulated trailer and a fully licensed Mercedes-Benz Actros cab which is well finished and detailed.
High Speed were masters of producing budget priced diecasts which could almost pass as being premium and their demise is still baffling after all these years.
