Always be persistent in your pursuits. Consistency shows value in whatever you're after. #persistent #consistency
Written by Sarah Kane
Directed by Roger Benington
A vivid dissection of lust, brutality, and ravenous love.
Recognized as the gentlest of Kane works, Crave lacks the violence of her earlier plays even as it plummets into the dark corners of the human psyche. Often described as a chamber-piece, Crave explores its themes with musical agility, exploring human experiences that defy a linear structure. It is a mark of her extraordinary talent that Kane was able to explore bleak subjects with humanity and humor. Crave presents four characters, whose words and silences build a symphony of lust, loneliness, abuse, and persistence. As the characters expose dark humor and wild desires, the audience is led through the shadows of affliction and into the light of release. Adult themes.

Dali Historian
(Mr. Chimera worked directly with Dali Museum founder Reynolds Morse, as the publicity director of the original Dali Museum when it was located in Beachwood, Ohio.
Eureka! Your Salvador Dali Society, Inc. blogger has suddenly come up with an entirely new interpretation of Dali’s iconic and immortal “soft watch!” This is a historical moment, so hold onto your surreal seats, dear readers, as I don’t know – as a Dali historian and writer, who’s studied the artist’s work and life for more than 45 years – if this interpretation has ever quite been stated before:
The dripping, melting watch suggest that time is running out!
Like an ice cube, let’s say, that drips, drips, drips to oblivion, so too does the reality of life mean that, with every ticking second, time is running out. Life is running out. Our time here is finite, short, precious, ever-changing, ever-shortening!
And, of course, interpretation gets supplanted by fact when we consider this: Salvador Dali’s soft watch motif has made for not only his most universally famous painting, “The Persistence of Memory” of 1931, but also arguably the single most famous work of art of the entire 20th century.
So here, a single watch, flopped over a tree branch…dripping…melting…forms the basis for one of Salvador Dali’s most important sculptural pieces. DaVinci had his Mona Lisa. Warhol had his soup cans. Dali – his remarkable watches. Said Dali: Hard or soft, the principal thing is that the watch gives the exact time.”
Astonishing fact: Dali didn’t wear a watch. Not only did he not need to know himself what time it was – he had others to depend on for that – but it may be entirely true that he didn’t quite know how to tell time! Just as he had no real concept of what a particular denomination of money was worth.
Such is the unique life of geniuses.
part of "vision of a genius".......an art exhibit of dali's bronze sculptures and paintings at the time warner center in new york city.......going on until april 30, 2011........
As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time.

They flash on and off at high speed, so when waved about produce a message.
This new version has a little switch on the breadboard, when pressed it flashes the message once. This allows me to just have the message go by on the correct swing direction, and also makes it a LOT easier to get a good photograph.
I'm looking at using an accelerometer to do the same, but it would be able to automatically detect direction and speed and hopefully compensate to get a 'perfect' display.

Cologne Cathedral (German: Kölner Dom, officially Hohe Domkirche St. Peter und Maria, English: High Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Mary) is a Roman Catholic church in Cologne, Germany. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne (currently CardinalJoachim Meisner), and is under the administration of the Archdiocese of Cologne. It is renowned as a monument of Christianity, of German Catholicism in particular, of Gothic architecture and of the continuing faith and perseverance of the people of the city in which it stands. It is dedicated to Saint Peter and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The cathedral is a World Heritage Site, one of the best-known architectural monuments in Germany, and Cologne's most famous landmark, described by UNESCO as an "exceptional work of human creative genius".[1] It is Germany's most visited landmark, visited by 20,000 people every day.[2]
Construction of Cologne Cathedral began in 1248 and took, with interruptions, until 1880 to complete. It is 144.5 metres long, 86.5 m wide and its towers are approximately 157 m tall.[3] The cathedral is one of the world's largest churches and the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe. For four years, 1880-84, it was the tallest structure in the world, until the completion of the Washington Monument. It has the second-tallest church spires, only surpassed by the single spire of Ulm Minster, completed 10 years later in 1890. Because of its enormous twin spires, it also presents the largest façade of any church in the world. The choir of the cathedral, measured between the piers, also holds the distinction of having the largest height to width ratio of any Medieval church, 3.6:1, exceeding even Beauvais Cathedral which has a slightly higher vault.[4]
Cologne's medieval builders had planned a grand structure to house the reliquary of the Three Kings and fit its role as a place of worship of the Holy Roman Emperor. Despite having been left incomplete during the medieval period, Cologne Cathedral eventually became unified as "a masterpiece of exceptional intrinsic value" and "a powerful testimony to the strength and persistence of Christian belief in medieval and modern Europe".[1]
Each of us has events and circumstances that shape our lives and for the most part we have an idea of what's ahead and react accordingly as the events play out in front of us... there is laughter mixed with tears as we experience the wonders of this life. We all know that someplace down the road the challenges will become greater... and when they arrive we are still shocked that the time has passed so quickly... the kids have grown up and are starting families of their own... and those stairs take a little more concentration and effort to climb. In my life I've had days like the one represented by this sunrise which was taken two years ago down in Mexico. It was dark and the remnants of the previous night's storm still lingered as I looked out over the ocean in the direction I knew the sun would come up... only there were so many clouds that I was sure that nothing worthy of capturing with the camera was going to happen this day, so I just sat down on the sand and enjoyed the sound of the waves gently washing the beach in front of me. Again, my human nature of seeing and focusing on the negative almost convinced me to head back to the room for some more sleep... but as you can see the strength and persistence of the sun was stronger than my flesh and as I sat alone on the sand I was presented again with it's glory. Friends, dark times come into our lives and if we persist just a little more I'm convinced that God will allow His light to shine in our lives again. Let's encourage each other on this day of rest to pause and look at all of the reasons we have to be thankful...
This is for my Mom, whom I sat with on a Thanksgiving day several years ago as she lost her battle with cancer. I am thankful for all that she taught me over the years... I love you Mom...
Our Indigofera australis has had a hard time this year, as it suffered a fungal infection in the wet first half of the year, and now a prolonged dry spell this year (plus a ridiculously hot August). Only a few buds opened. I took a photo of this, one of the healthiest flowers. [Lower Blue Mountains, NSW]
I saw these dandelions blooming in my yard last Friday, two days before the first snow of the season. Dandelions are tough.

After nearly a year of asking Peckham Post Office to replace the post box which was removed during a refurbishment, a new one is finally installed. Many thanks to Fiona Colley for her help with this. Now I just need one outside Camberwell Post Office :)
