As I was uploading this picture, computer-ji started playing this old song from CID Naseer:
നീല നിശീഥിനീ
നിന് മണിമേടയില്

(which roughly translates to (apologies already): blue night / in your mansion / stood I, sleepless..)
The CARE/Crawley Building at the University of Cincinnati is an addition to the medical center and serves as a shared campus space for the Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy, and Nursing. The addition is connected to the existing building by a full height atrium, which is nearly entirely clad in glass and is fully laced by glassed bottomed bridges. Creating a space which is totally unique and allowing the main structure of the building to feel almost nonexistent.

Residents stretch their hands to receive clothes in Cabaret, Haiti, Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2008. Four tropical storms in less than a month have caused floods throughout Haiti, killing at least 300 people. Shipments of food and pledges of more poured in from around the world, but distribution of the emergency supplies was hampered by the impoverished country's chronic insecurity and the poor and often nonexistent network of roads and other infrastructure.

Mendon Ponds Park is owned and very poorly maintained by the County of Monroe, NY.
Unfortunately, this extraordinary property is rapidly deteriorating due to an egregious lack of care. Trails are not cleared of debris... signs are useless. Park maintenance is essentially nonexistent. They do have a marketing department. Seriously, the taxpayers are paying the salaries of a county parks marketing department.

Only at this one point,that of the fire or Severity within God,is there any mention of an exterior outburst of power,Tokpa de-Dina.This is no doubt connected to characteristic Zoharic notions of the Godhead as an organism.In numerous passages and in the most divers images,evil is conceived of as a product of seperation and excretion,facilitating the maintenance of the organism in its original structure.The fire of divine severity melts and refines the power of judgment,known as the sacred gold;however,the dross is externalized,becoming the "shells" (kelippoth) in which the holy is either nonexistent,or present only as a spark,concealed and glowing within the dross.In the language of the Zohar,this is the Sitra Ahra,the "Other Side",which is the opposite of the holy and schemes to seize it and draw it over to its own side.Thus,both the nature and the origin of evil are explained in term of one unified view.The Other Side is the fire of divine severity,externalized and made independent,where it becomes an entire hierarchical system,a counterworld ruled by Satan.
Pequaming, Michigan
Originally home to Chippewa tribes, the site was named for "Pequa quaming," a narrow neck of land almost surrounded by water. The point at Pequaming is in the shape of a bear; the head is called Picnic Point; the tail at the lumberyard, the legs are the two sand beaches, and the back is the shore line.
In 1877, Charles Hebard and H.C. Thurber purchased a large tract of land on Keweenaw Point, favored especially for its deep, protected harbor and easy access to timber. The mill began its operations with a capital of $200,000, with stock owned mostly by the Hebard and Thurber families. The mill site was initially leased from David King, chief of the local Chippewa tribe, and then purchased from his heirs after his death. The company purchased the town site from Mrs. Eliza Bennett in 1877.
The mill operated under the name of Hebard and Thurber until the partnership was dissolved; Herber became sole proprietor and renamed his company Charles Hebard and Sons.
At its peak, the company employed a force of two hundred men in the mill, and three hundred in the surrounding woods, and had a stumpage of 100,000 acres (400 km²) of timber lands in Marquette, Baraga, Houghton, and Keweenaw counties. The company owned the buildings and surrounding land, but was known as the "lumberman's utopia" because rent and water were free, and wood could be obtained from the mill for a very small sum per load. The town included the mill, a company store, offices, boarding houses, hotel, livery stable, bath houses, churches, schools, parks, a band and orchestra, ice rink, and over 100 houses.
The Pequaming mill was the first large-scale lumbering and milling operation in the Lake Superior region, and in the years between 1880 and 1900, the mill cut an average of over 30,000,000 board feet (70,000 m3), 25,000,000 board feet (59,000 m3) in boards and 7,000,000 board feet (20,000 m3) in lath). When officials realized the white pine supply was nearly exhausted, they switched to hemlock and cedar. The pine was made into 1x4 lumber, the cedar into shingles, and hemlock into lath; other products included rail ties and hemlock bark for tanneries. For shipment, the products were loaded into box cars, which were placed onto scows and towed across the bay to Baraga, and then shipped by rail to their destinations. The original sawmill operated until 1887, when it burned in a fire of unknown origins, and was replaced by a larger mill within 60 days.
When Charles Hebard died in 1904, his sons Daniel and Charles inherited the company and continued operations. "The Bungalow" was constructed in 1913.
In 1923, the Hebards were approached by Ford Motor Company, who wanted to purchase their timber stands only. Mindful of Pequaming's future, the Hebards convinced Ford to purchase the mill and surrounding town as well, and entered into secret negotiations with the hope of completing the sale before operations began. On September 8, 1923, Ford Motor Company purchased the mill and surrounding town for the sum of $2,850,000; the purchase included the double band sawmill, lath and shingle mills, 40,000 acres (160 km²) of timber land, 30,000,000 board feet (70,000 m3) of lumber, 3,000,000 board feet (7,000 m3) of cut logs, the town land and buildings, the railroad, and towing and water equipment.
Renovations on the mill began, and entailed removing the lath and shingle mills, altering the eastern face, dismantling the old burner, and adding a new powerhouse on the west side that housed a 1,000 horsepower (750 kW) triple expansion marine engine from a World War I Liberty boat. After repair and refitting, the sawmill reopened on September 24, with a work force that received $5 per day for an eight-hour shift instead of the previous $3.50 for a longer day.
By the end of February 1925, Ford had connected the Hebard railroad to the Ford railroad in L'Anse, allowing each plant to specialize in one type of wood. Lumber from the Pequaming mill was generally shipped by water to plants in Dearborn, Edgewater, and Chester, mostly in the form of crating lumber. The better grades of lumber were sent by rail to Iron Mountain for use in the auto manufacturing plants. During its peak, the sawmill provided flooring for floorboards, truck boxes, and wood panels for station wagons.
By 1933, car sales has decreased enough, due to the Great Depression, that the demand for lumber was nearly nonexistent. As the mill was idled during that period, Henry Ford created other work for residents by establishing a cooperative farm east of town. As an additional measure, the company store adjusted its food prices and donated clothing and shoes to employees and their families. Ford also used the town as a model for his theories on self-reliance and education; he established a vocational school in his summer home (to be used during the school year), and also opened four one-room elementary and intermediate schools in September 1935. In 1937, the company built a high school, which contained state-of-the-art home economics food and clothing labs and a library, as well as the first fluorescent lights in a Michigan school.
In 1935, the company decided to ship its products by truck, and instituted "just in time" shipping for its logging operations. After the United States entered in World War II, the company's ships were diverted, which resulted in the lumber being trucked to L'Anse and then shipped by rail. However, a shortage of truck tires and increased shipping costs prompted the company to close the mill on October 9, 1942, with the last logs sawed on October 28. Many employees were offered jobs in L'Anse, and the town was eventually abandoned.
Early buildings still in existence today include the water tower, the company store, Henry Ford's summer home and guest house (the "Bungalow"), several houses, and the ruins of the sawmill powerhouse. Today the area boasts many new homes and summer residences.

Stuck in an amazingly tedious meeting? All you need to do is beat out your trusted Hand or Htc and tap out a concept to one of your co-workers across the table: DID YOU SEE THE GAME LAST NIGHT?
Chances are you've observed about such texting technological innovation. But what's this technology's name? Is this technological innovation something that is truly valuable to the financial world? Or is it simply coming us to the past's classrooms—giving us a new way to complete paperwork behind the instructor's again.
What is this technological innovation we're discussing about?
Today, technological innovation is going towards the long run of the wifi web. Mobile cellphone gadgets such as palmtops, handhelds, and mobile phones are becoming all the wrath. Individuals want these gadgets to do everything from accessibility their e-mail records, to implement the Online, to accessibility personal and business details.
One form of assistance that is available is a technological innovation known as SMS (Short Messaging Service). SMS is the technological innovation that allows texts to be obtained and sent over mobile gadgets.
Why use SMS?
SMS is a very cost-effective strategy of interaction. 160 character types take up as much area as a one-second speech call. Email messages are offered instantly (or when the cellphone is converted on). Like e-mail, they can also be evaluated or saved in your cellphone for as long as you wish. SMS messages can also be sent out to enormous categories of individuals with the single click of a option.
SMS also allows for specific texting. This is where SMS can take on a variety of different concept types (including voicemail, e-mail and fax) and allows customers to accessibility them from their mobile cellphone.
Is SMS really that popular?
Yes! Folks deliver each other well over a billion dollars messages monthly. This fact may be challenging to believe if you reside in the U. s. Declares, where SMS assistance is essentially nonexistent.
There are a variety of reasons why the SMS is slowly to take off in the U. s. Declares. The reason is that the U. s. Declares does not use the electronic wifi person interface conventional (GSM—more on this in a moment) that is necessary for SMS to operate. Although GSM is beginning to develop in the U. s. Declares, the change is slowly.
How does a mobile cellphone have enough area to shop information?
Most mobile gadgets can be fixed with SIM (Subscriber Recognition Module) credit charge playing cards. SMS Ship These are nasty credit charge playing cards that, when placed in the again of a mobile cellphone, shop various types of details.
Isn't composing messages on a mobile cellphone (like a phone) difficult?
You might be considering that writing on a small phone papan ketik is challenging, even for nimble little palms. Well, most gadgets contain 'predictive input', a kind of software that allows it to think what you are composing and try to complete the phrase for you. Besides, a lot of people abbreviate their terms anyway. Unless you're not trying to create a novel on your cellphone you should have no problems.
Can my mobile cellphone use SMS?
For a program to implement SMS, it must be SMS-enabled. Also, it must be linked with one of the GSM techniques that assistance SMS. Have a look at with your program provider to figure out whether a program is able to get SMS messages.
What do you mean by 'SMS-enabled'?
SMS-enabled means that only gadgets with SMS technological innovation developed into them will be able to accessibility and implement SMS. Most mobile cellphone makes such as Ericcson, Samsung, and Htc offer SMS-enabled products.
What is GSM? What is a GSM Network?
GSM appears for International Systems for Mobile Communication. SMS you can find on GSM techniques for SMS interaction.
Back in the beginning 80's, analogue cellular phone were increasing in European countries. Each nation began creating it's own program. These techniques were incompatible with everyone else's products and operate. It was not a good scenario. For one, mobile products was restricted to restricted to their nationwide limitations. Thus, marketplaces were restricted for each form of products.
The Folks recognized this beginning on, and developed a team to suggest a new, globally program. This new globally program became GSM. Gradually professional solutions became available in the beginning Nineties and GSM techniques have propagate globally.
GSM is a electronic program, which is what allows SMS functions to are available. Most nations around the world use the GSM standard—the U. s. Declares is one of the few nations around the world to benefit use of CDMA and TDMA expectations over GSM (though there are GSM techniques throughout the US). SMSSHIPCDMA and TDMA allow incredibly restricted SMS functions.
GSM allows for messages to be sent from point-to-point, or in a cell-broadcast strategy (point-to-omnipoint).
So, is GSM to stay the conventional for SMS communication?
Probably not.
The community needs more and more Online functions from their mobile gadgets. And GSM, in all its complexness, is having difficulties maintaining up. GSM was never developed to assistance textual content details, let alone a lot of textual content such that the wifi Online would provide. Using GSM for anything more than SMS would become a slowly and complicated strategy.
With that said, it seems that GPRS (General Supply R / c Service) is being recognized as the new best thing. GPRS would allow the submitting of Online details through mobile gadgets at a broadband.
Experts believe that GPRS will be able to produce details at a rate of up to 100,000 parts per second.
Currently, GSM can produce details at a rate of 9,600 parts per second.
What's point-to-point?
A point-to-point SMS concept is where a person delivers a concept to another client in their assistance. Once their concept is sent, an reputation of bill is offered to the emailer.
What's cell-broadcast mode?
Cellbroadcast strategy, or point-to-omnipoint, SMS messages are those such as visitors up-dates or information up-dates that are sent by solutions to several bought customers within a given mobile phone area.
Where can I find out more details about SMS?
If you've never tried SMS, I desire you to confirm it out. It's an amazingly realistic, trusted, and cost-effective strategy of interaction.
For more details about smsship, check out our site several content and up-dates on the newest improvements with SMS. Also, you should check out for great details about anything and everything taking place within the GSM community today—including SMS and much more.

Leeville, Louisiana
on Bayou LaFourche
LaFourche Parish
Leeville was settled by flood victims. On October 1, 1893, a hurricane wiped out the area's main settlement, Caminadaville, which sat on a spit of land bordered on three sides by the Gulf and on the fourth by swamp. Nearly half of Caminadaville's inhabitants perished in the storm, most by drowning, some when the buildings they had taken refuge in collapsed.
Survivors sailed up the bayou in their damaged canots and began buying land from an orange-grower named Peter Lee, who was selling plots for $12.50 each. For sixteen years, they fished, planted rice, and held fais do-do dancing parties in homes with covered verandas.
Then, in 1909, the Leeville Hurricane struck. (A contemporary newspaper account described survivors of that storm subsisting on drowned rabbit.) Six years later, a third hurricane forced residents to flee north once more. According to local legend, the storm surge carried one house from Leeville nine miles inland. The owner simply bought the plot underneath it and moved back in.
In the nineteen-thirties, Leeville rebounded briefly. Oil was discovered in the area, and by the end of the decade there were ninety-eight producing wells in town. The pay was good and regulation nonexistent. Blowouts routinely rained sulfur and brine onto the houses, into the cisterns, over the trees. Tin roofs corroded and vegetable gardens shrivelled up. When the wells ran dry, oil production moved offshore and Leeville was again deserted.
There were no more jobs, and the town itself had begun to wash away. Where once men in straw hats picked oranges and harvested rice, today there is mostly open water.

The serenity of nature fills my soul with peace
As I lay back on the crisp, yet soft grass
I let my mind wander to a tranquil state
Where pain and suffering is nonexistent
And only the serenity of nature remains
While in my state of placidity
I watch in awe as nature works its wonders
I see the trees dancing to the wind's soft, sweet song
A host of bird's announcing the end of a wondrous day
An array of brightly colored flowers
Flaunt their beauty to the world
The pillow-like clouds, like sheep, graze in a large blue meadow
And hide the seemingly shy sun
And as i experience this beautiful setting
A gentle breeze whispers to me
'Time to go'
The serenity of nature fills my soul with peace

Originally built between 1793 and 1797 during the Second Spanish Period, this Spanish Colonial and Neoclassical-style cathedral is the fourth church to occupy a prominent position at the heart of the city of St. Augustine. The original church, built of flammable materials, stood from 1565 until 1586, when it was burned during an attack by English Privateer Sir Francis Drake. Not even a year later, the church was rebuilt of palm logs, with a straw roof, which succumbed to fire in 1599. In 1605, thanks to a tithe from Spain, a timber church was constructed, which stood until a failed English attack on the city in 1702 by James Moore, then-governor of Carolina colony. There were attempts to rebuild the church during the First Spanish Period, starting in 1707, but these went nowhere, and the money intended for the church’s reconstruction were misallocated by corrupt officials. Instead, during the remainder of the First Spanish Period, mass was held in the St. Augustine Hospital. Following the transfer of governance of Florida to the British in 1763, the need for a new Catholic church was nonexistent, as the catholic population of the colony fled to other Spanish colonies. At the start of the Second Spanish Period in 1784, the need for a new church became more apparent, and work on the current cathedral’s Coquina stone walls began in 1793. The facade of the church features Neoclassical elements around the front doorway, with the Spanish Colonial style being employed on the roofline and limited fenestration on the front facade. The church stood in its original configuration until a fire in 1887 destroyed the timber roof structure and did major damage to the interior. Following the fire, Henry Flagler led the effort to have the cathedral rebuilt, with James Renwick, Jr. designing an expansion of the old building, giving it a rectangular cruciform layout, and adding the Spanish Renaissance-style bell tower and European-style transept to the building. The interior was rebuilt to feature exposed decorative timbers that supported the roof structure, and a decorative polychromatic tile floor. The building has since received a few more additions, which house a chapel, service areas, and offices, as well as a building to the rear of the cathedral along Treasury Street, built in the Mediterranean Revival style, which houses the offices of the Diocese of St. Augustine. Today, the cathedral remains a prominent landmark in the city, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and listed as a National Historic Landmark as part of the St. Augustine Town Plan Historic District in 1970.

Although the Jewish population in Germany was virtually nonexistent from the end of World War II until the early 1990s, there are now more than 200,000 Jewish people there. Most of these are Russian immigrants.
In response to this significant demographic development, Vladimir Pikman, a young believer from Kiev, and his wife, Inna, began ministry in Berlin in 1995. Shortly thereafter, Horst Stresow, a longtime supporter and friend of the Jewish people......

Leeville, Louisiana
on Bayou LaFourche
LaFourche Parish
Some of the greatest fishing is right here.
Leeville was settled by flood victims. On October 1, 1893, a hurricane wiped out the area's main settlement, Caminadaville, which sat on a spit of land bordered on three sides by the Gulf and on the fourth by swamp. Nearly half of Caminadaville's inhabitants perished in the storm, most by drowning, some when the buildings they had taken refuge in collapsed.
Survivors sailed up the bayou in their damaged canots and began buying land from an orange-grower named Peter Lee, who was selling plots for $12.50 each. For sixteen years, they fished, planted rice, and held fais do-do dancing parties in homes with covered verandas.
Then, in 1909, the Leeville Hurricane struck. (A contemporary newspaper account described survivors of that storm subsisting on drowned rabbit.) Six years later, a third hurricane forced residents to flee north once more. According to local legend, the storm surge carried one house from Leeville nine miles inland. The owner simply bought the plot underneath it and moved back in.
In the nineteen-thirties, Leeville rebounded briefly. Oil was discovered in the area, and by the end of the decade there were ninety-eight producing wells in town. The pay was good and regulation nonexistent. Blowouts routinely rained sulfur and brine onto the houses, into the cisterns, over the trees. Tin roofs corroded and vegetable gardens shrivelled up. When the wells ran dry, oil production moved offshore and Leeville was again deserted.
There were no more jobs, and the town itself had begun to wash away. Where once men in straw hats picked oranges and harvested rice, today there is mostly open water.

Mendon Ponds Park is owned and very poorly maintained by the County of Monroe, NY.
Unfortunately, this extraordinary property is rapidly deteriorating due to an egregious lack of care. Trails are not cleared of debris... signs are useless. Park maintenance is essentially nonexistent. They do have a marketing department. Seriously, the taxpayers are paying the salaries of a county parks marketing department.

For the soon to be nonexistent group FGR, I decided with only two days left, I better get my ass in gear. .... While doing that not taking any time to setup my camera... just eat and shoot. Hell, I got better things to do like help setup the Rogue Players Group to help fill that void in people's hearts. I don't care what it is gonna take, even if I gotta setup a "Numpty and his Knob" group, just to keep people smiling. It's bigger than me, and I'm just doing my part.
Oh, and thanks to JLovely for picking the day!

California-fuchsia, Hummingbird Flower, Hummingbird Trumpet, Zauschneria
Shown: Detail of flower
"Zauschneria (Epilobium canum) is a species of willowherb, native to dry slopes and in chaparral of western North America. It is a perennial plant, notable for the profusion of bright scarlet flowers in late summer and autumn.
"The name reflects that in the past it used to be treated in a distinct genus Zauschneria, but modern studies have shown that it is best placed within the genus Epilobium. Other common names include California-fuchsia (from the resemblance of the flowers to those of Fuchsias), Hummingbird Flower, and Hummingbird Trumpet (the flowers are very attractive to hummingbirds).
"It is a subshrub growing to 60 cm tall. Native populations of these plants exhibit considerable variation in appearance and habit. The small leaves may be opposite or alternate, lance-shaped or ovate, with short to nonexistent stalks, and range in color from green to nearly white. Overall shape may be matting or mounding, the plants commonly spreading via rhizomes. The racemes of tubular or funnel-shaped flowers are terminal, and colors are mostly reddish, ranging from fuchsia to pink to red-orange." (Wikipedia)

The bison were spread out in a prairie dog town, grazing and occasionally rolling in a nice patch of loose dirt. The recent mild weather has melted most of the snow that fell three weeks ago - a temporary reprieve. I am not concerned that we will miss out on winter, however. This is southern Saskatchewan. There'll be lots more:-)
Because Plains Bison are migratory by nature, they will never be permitted the freedom to roam the Great Plains of North America as they did a century and a half ago. As with all prairie preserves and parks containing bison, theirs is a limited world bounded by fences. Grasslands is one of the best, providing an enormous range for the shaggy beasts. They can cross the Frenchman River - its banks here hidden by that line of willow thicket in the middle ground - and disappear into those background hills where roads are nonexistent, or travel up the valley (to the left) for many miles, and behind the camera position is an equally large area of wild prairie for them to roam. Close encounters with the herd, therefore, are something special.

1993 Suède Sweden Svezia
Escapade en train à Blåhammaren, dans le nord de la Suède, près de la frontier norvégienne.
Il est conseillé de savoir lire une carte et utiliser la boussole, car les sentiers ne sont pas bien marqués et on ne rencontre quasi personne ... le temps peut aussi changer brusquement : en qq minutes on passé de l'été à l'hiver avec de la neige (meme en plein mois de juillet).
Week-end close to the Norwegian border, in the north of Sweden, at Blåhammaren.
It is recommended to be able to read a map and use a compass because the paths are almost nonexistent ... the weather can also change within minutes going from Summer into Winter (with snow mid of July).
Camminata vicina al confine con la Norvegia, a Blåhammaren (2 giorni).
Saper leggere una mappa e utilizzare una bussola è d'obbligo perché i sentieri non si vedono bene. E non c'è molta gente da incontrare ! Subito il meteo può anche cambiare da estate a inverno con neve a metà luglio !
