This is Rita, a statue I found about 8 years ago.
I was in a store and saw her face and loved it! I picked her up and was surprised how heavy she was. She is made of sand, and on the bottom there was a tag that said "Rita", which made me love it more..that was my Mom's name.
I researched the name, but came up with nothing. I thought it might be an Indian goddess, but flower looks Polynesian?
She is the color of sand on a beach...but (of course) I shot her in B&W.
Taken in my window in Brooklyn...
Happy Halloween all....

Al-Wahhab : The Giver of All who constantly bestows blessings of every kind.
YA RABBİ
Seni tarif etmektedir bütün güzel isimler
Sen güzel isimlerini aşikar etmezsen ruhum karanlıkta kalır
Esmaül Hüsna’na şahit yaz beni...
Ya Vehhab
Yokluğa sırf yok oldugu için varlık bahşedersin
Nankörlerin bile rızkını kesmez inkar edenlere bile nefes verirsin
Varlığın senin lütfundur senin ihsanındır
Aciz varlığıma lütfunu ihsanını daim eyle...
Vehhab : Karşılıksız veren, sonu gelmeyen bağışların sahibi. Kullarına hiçbir karşılık gözetmeksizin tekrar tekrar ve çok çok bağışlarda bulunan.
Cenab-ı Hak buyuruyor:
"Yoksa, güçlü ve üstün olan, karşılıksız bağışlayan Rabbinin hazineleri onların yanında mıdır" (Sad,9)
Büyük zatlar, bir kimse dua ettiği zaman 7 kere "Yâ Vehhâb" dese o kimsenin duasını Allah teala kabul eder, demişlerdir. Bir şey isteyen, düşman elinde bağlı kalan, rızkında darlık olan, ticaretinde ve kazancında çokluk ve kârlıllık olmayan veya seyrü sülûkünde her hangi bir fethi olmayan kimse üç gece veya yedi gece boyunca gece yarısı abdest alıp ve iki rekat namaz kılıp başını açarak ellerini havaya kaldırarak Yâ Vehhâb" dedikten sonra ihtiyacını Cenab-ı Hakk'a arzetse Allahü teala onun ihtiyacını karşılar, sıkıntısını giderir. (Miftahü'l Kulûb)
Cumanız mübarek olsun;
"Can't make my own decisions or make any with precision
Well maybe you should tie me up so I don't go where you don't want me
You say that I been changing, that I'm not just simply aging
Yeah how could that be logical?
Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat
Oh oh oh ohhhh
You don't have to believe me,
but the way I way I see it
next time you point a finger,
I might have to bend it back
or break it break it off
whoa
next time you point a finger
I hope it's at the mirror.
If God's the game you're playing, then we must get more acquainted,
It must be so lonely... to be the only one who's holy
It's just my humble opinion, but one I firmly believe in
You don't deserve a point of view, if the only thing you see is you."
--"Playing God" by Paramore

Sunrise at Mystery Bay on the Far South Coast of NSW.
Mystery Bay is a small town and a beautiful rocky bay located 15 kilometers south of Narooma on the New South Wales far south coast. It takes about 5 hours to get there from Sydney.
So what is so mysterious about this bay? Some time ago, three men in a canoe left Bega (town nearby) heading north to the open ocean. Since then no one seen them again. Months later their canoe was found in this bay with no bodies, just blood all over the boat.
There is a large camping area just minutes away from the Mystery Bay Beach and Billy’s Beach in Eurobodalla National Park. Camping area has basic primitive facilities, but its exceptional location on the cliffs of the Mystery Bay and quick access to outstanding beaches makes it a really unique and popular place.
Cliffs of the Mystery Bay are made from a layered rock and have numerous caves, rock pools and arches. There is a short walking track that starts in the camping area and leads to a number of spectacular lookouts with great views over the rugged coast of the Mystery Bay.

Quiapo Church, officially known as Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene, is a Roman Catholic church located in the District of Quiapo, Manila, in the Philippines. The church is one of the most popular churches in the country. It is home to the Black Nazarene, a much venerated statue of Jesus Christ which many people believe has miraculous attributes. The church was painted cream after the original Mexican Baroque edifice was burned down in 1928. Also known as St. John the Baptist Parish, the church at present belongs to the Archdiocese of Manila. The current rector is Rev. Msgr. Jose Clemente Ignacio, who succeeded Msgr. Josefino Ramirez (the Vicar General of the archdiocese) upon the latter's appointment as rector of the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Maysilo, Mandaluyong City.
The Quiapo Church holds a weekly novena every Friday and a procession every year on January 9 devoted to the Black Nazarene. Both are attended by thousands of devotees. Many sick people come to see the Black Nazarene, hoping that getting a chance to pray in front of its miraculous image would heal their sicknesses.
This photograph was taken on the 4th of July 1983 outside of my apartment in Marina del Rey. The original was shot on a Kodachrome 64 slide. On the 4th of July every year there is a wonderful fireworks display at the Marina, it draws people from adjacent beach cities and much of the western part of Los Angeles. The smart non-residents arrive early to get the best viewing positions. This is a silhouette of a family of four (the children are sitting on their parents' laps). My girlfriend was at the window and happened to notice this family and the balloon and called it to my attention. I brought the camera and shot several frames. This is the best of them.

I’ve lost them.
I was away for 3 weeks and returned to a shell that left nary a sign of its past existence.
Only 3 weeks ago, I was standing in the living/bedroom with an old woman while she watched television from her couch. I had walked up to the second floor with a low attic where the son slept, that had a narrow window looking out to towering corporate buildings.
I planned to return with photos for them and inquire more about their new home that supposedly had new toilets and better electricity fixtures.
But I took for granted that they would be there when I returned. After all, they did say that they were holding out to the end when the place would be flattened in December.

Raccoon ~ From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~The raccoon (Listeni/ræˈkuːn/, Procyon lotor), sometimes spelled racoon, also known as the common raccoon, North American raccoon, northern raccoon and colloquially as coon, is a medium-sized mammal native to North America. The raccoon is the largest of the procyonid family, having a body length of 40 to 70 cm (16 to 28 in) and a body weight of 3.5 to 9 kg (8 to 20 lb). Its grayish coat mostly consists of dense underfur which insulates against cold weather. Two of the raccoon's most distinctive features are its extremely dexterous front paws and its facial mask, which are themes in the mythology of several Native American tribes. Raccoons are noted for their intelligence, with studies showing that they are able to remember the solution to tasks for up to three years. The diet of the omnivorous raccoon, which is usually nocturnal, consists of about 40% invertebrates, 33% plant foods, and 27% vertebrates.
The original habitats of the raccoon are deciduous and mixed forests, but due to their adaptability they have extended their range to mountainous areas, coastal marshes, and urban areas, where some homeowners consider them to be pests. As a result of escapes and deliberate introductions in the mid-20th century, raccoons are now also distributed across the European mainland, the Caucasus region and Japan.
Though previously thought to be solitary, there is now evidence that raccoons engage in gender-specific social behavior. Related females often share a common area, while unrelated males live together in groups of up to four animals to maintain their positions against foreign males during the mating season, and other potential invaders. Home range sizes vary anywhere from 3 hectares (7 acres) for females in cities to 50 km2 (20 sq mi) for males in prairies. After a gestation period of about 65 days, two to five young, known as "kits", are born in spring. The kits are subsequently raised by their mother until dispersal in late fall. Although captive raccoons have been known to live over 20 years, their average life expectancy in the wild is only 1.8 to 3.1 years. In many areas, hunting and vehicular injury are the two most common causes of death.

Hi, my name is Sion Fullana... and I'm a natural voyeur.
Yes, like that. No shy, no shame. I'm a curious person by nature... fascinated by humans, human bodies, human souls and their interactions...
Ever since I was a kid, I remember myself in the summer... in the penthouse of the apartment building where we lived (part of the complex of my dad's hotel in Majorca). From our terrace (that surrounded 3/4 of the place), I could see the entire hotel, plus two blocks of apartments... with their balconies, and the open windows. People smoking outside, people naked while getting ready to head out for the night, people talking or playing cards... life unfolding, small in the distance, for my eyes only, like a bee hive colony... and there I was... happy and fascinated by all that...
As years went by, I think I became a journalist, later a filmmaker and eventually a photographer because of all this... I love to peep... to see life through my eyes or my lens... and somehow, to bring it back, to share it with the world... always in a good way. I feel proud of myself in the belief that I always try to show the best in the people I photograph, to capture nice moments from life on the streets... never diminishing anyone or taking them at their worst looks...
So yes... I'm a natural voyeur...
I look, I see, I seek to see...
And hopefully, I'll get you to see with me...

The Ruins of The Al-Mansourah Mosque. (TLEMCEN - ORAN, ALGERIA)
>> Large View <<
Ce fut d'abord un camp militaire appelé « el Mahalla el Mansourah » établi par le sultan mérinide Abou Yacoub Youçouf en 1299 lors du premier siège de Tlemcen qui dura 8 ans, le sultan se fit bâtir une demeure royale et une mosquée puis l'enceinte en 1302. En peu de temps le camp se transforma en ville. En 1307, Abou Yacoub fut assassiné, le siège fut levé et la ville dévasté, par les Tlemcéniens. En 1335 le sultan mérinide de Fès Abou ElHassan entreprit un second siège autour de Tlemcen. Pour ce faire, il restaura les fortifications et reconstruisit les maisons démolies. Au bout de deux ans de siège Tlemcen céda mais Mansourah demeura le siège du gouvernement mérinide. Le sultan de fés y édifia son palais de la victoire en 1334. En 1348,les princes Zianides reprirent le pouvoir, chasserent les mérinides de Tlemcen, et Mansourah fut a jamais détruite...

Manresa is the capital of the Bages comarca (county), located in the geographic centre of Catalonia, Spain, and crossed by the river Cardener. It is an industrial area with textile, metallurgical, and glass industries. Saint Ignatius of Loyola stopped to pray in the town on his way back from Montserrat in 1522. As such, the town is a place of pilgrimage for Catholics. It is believed the comarcal name "Bages" comes from a corruption of the Latin "Bacchus" due to the extensive production of wine in the area. The wine was grown mainly in terraced vineyards, and many of these old terraces can be seen today. Wine ceased to be the main product of the area as a consequence of phylloxera, but is still a very important part of the Manresa/Bages economy.
During the Napoleonic invasion, the volunteer troops of Manresa (sometent in Catalan) defeated the French troops in the Bruch Pass (June 1808), but the retreating French burned and demolished much of the town. After the expulsion of Napoleon's troops, Manresans rebuilt the town using the rubble. This is the reason for the strange "jerry-built" look of the city. In the 12th century Manresa was said to have contained 500 Jewish families, most of whom lived in a narrow lane called "Grau dels Jueus," near the town hall; their cemetery, still called "Fossana dels Jueus," was outside the city. In the 13th and 14th centuries the Jews there were engaged in manufacturing, trading (including slaves), money-lending (at the rate of 20 per cent, the usual interest at that time), and in the cultivation of their vineyards and estates.
The hostility of the Christians towards the Jews, which prevailed throughout Catalonia, was also manifested in Manresa. In 1325 the Christian inhabitants of the town tried to prevent the Jews from baking their Passover bread, so that the latter were obliged to appeal to the King for protection. The Jews in Manresa did not escape the general persecution of 1391, and many of them professed to accept Christianity.
After 1414 comparatively few Jews remained in the town, and in 1492 they sold their property for whatever they could get, and left the country. At the beginning of the 15th century Manresa had 30,000 inhabitants; three centuries later it contained barely one-fifth of that number. Several members of the Zabarra (Sabara) family lived in Manresa. The town is not mentioned in the "Shebeṭ Yehudah."
I have a smile
stretched from ear to ear
to see you walking down the road
we meet at the lights
I stare for a while
the world around disappears
just you and me
on this island of hope
a breath between us could be miles
let me surround you
my sea to your shore
let me be the calm you seek
oh and every time I'm close to you
there's too much I can't say
and you just walk away
and I forgot
to tell you
I love you
and the night's
too long
and cold here
without you
I grieve in my condition
for I cannot find the strength to say I need you so
oh and every time I'm close to you
there's too much I can't say
and you just walk away
and I forgot
to tell you
I love you
and the night's
too long
and cold here
without you

Artist Statement
The platters I have sent to this exhibition combine several ceramic traditions. The first is, The Palace Art Pot. Palace Art Pots were made to demonstrate wealth and power. They were made to tell a story, to commemorate an event or a person, and to demonstrate skill and challenge the abilities of the artisans who made them. The second tradition is the Fish Platter. Fish platters were a staple of the Neo Arts and Crafts Movement of the 1950s and 60s. The third and last tradition is the One-Line visual and verbal Pun, Platters of the ceramic Funk Movement.
Humor through the use of the visual pun was a mainstay of the California Funk movement. Humor in clay has a tradition as old as the use of the material. I have always felt that humor has been given short shift as a serious emotion. Art work that uses humor and has been actively excised from collections of serious art. It may be that we do not understand the function of humor as well as we understand the function of the other emotions.
In the work presented I have tried to inject some humor into the decorative / commemorative object. The platters are big to give them a slightly overblown sense of their own importance and to be able to be viewed from a distance . They are meant for the wall and the table. The large size to fit the importance of large gatherings.
I have tried to replace historical patterns with objects reduced to pattern. Some of the objects are extensions of my environment or reflections of personal interests. Images of turn of the century technology, (the Machine Age), are a personal favorite. Subject matter ranges from humorous depiction of everyday objects to gender stereotypes. My abilities as A draftsman are limited but seem to be adequate for the kind and quality of image that the subject requires. They have a cartoon look as opposed to the crisp complexity of fine china.
The clay body, a red earthenware, is heavily potted and makes no secrete of its variations and flaws. The glaze work is in the Majolica style and is done very much like a watercolor on soft paper. The pots are fired twice. They are bisqued to cone 05 and glazed to cone 04. Some may have an additional firing to Cone 018 for low temperature luster and enamels. They are fired in an oxidizing atmosphere using an electric kiln.

shout it out
i can't hold back no more
i let it out
all these feelings that were
trapped inside
i was frozen evertime
i looked in your eyes
clear my head
from all the cluttered things
i should've said
that wasn't me
no i can't live like that
I'm waking up and there is no
looking back
(chorus)
Every little tear
i was scared to cry
everyting i feared
but i kept inside
i don't wanna hold
it back one more day
oh wash it away
every tiny thought clouding
up my head
every single word that
i never said
i refuse to feel ashamed
let it rain
let it rain
clear the sky
i start to breathe again
no-thing to hide
let you through to who
i am inside
every layer
'til you get underneath my skin
let you in, let you in
(chorus)
every little tear
i was scared to cry
everything i feard
but i kept inside
i dont wanna hold it back
one more day
oh was it away
every tiny thought
clouding up my head
every single word that
i never said
i refuse to feel ashamed
let it rain
let it rain

ENGLISH
All Saints' Day (also called All Hallows or Hallowmas), often shortened to All Saints, is a feast celebrated on November 1 in Western Christianity, and on the first Sunday after Pentecost in Eastern Christianity in honour of all the saints, known and unknown. In terms of Roman Catholic theology, the feast commemorates all those who have attained the beatific vision in heaven, while the next day, All Souls' Day, commemorates the departed faithful who have not yet been purified and reached heaven.
In the early Church, Christians would celebrate the anniversary of a martyr's death for Christ (known as the saint's "birth day") by serving an All-Night Vigil, and then celebrating the Eucharist over their tomb or the shrine at their place of martyrdom. In the fourth century, neighbouring dioceses began to transfer relics, and to celebrate the feast days of specific martyrs in common. Frequently, a number of Christians would suffer martyrdom on the same day, which naturally led to a joint commemoration. In the persecution of Diocletian the number of martyrs became so great that a separate day could not be assigned to each. But the Church, feeling that every martyr should be venerated, appointed a common day for all.
The Western Christian holiday of All Saints Day falls on 1 November, followed by All Souls' Day on 2 November, and is a Holy Day of Obligation in the Latin Rite Roman Catholic Church.
The feast of All Saints, on its current date, is traced to the foundation by Pope Gregory III (731-741) of an oratory in St Peter's for the relics "of the holy apostles and of all saints, martyrs and confessors, of all the just made perfect who are at rest throughout the world", with the day moved to 1 November.
In Portugal, Spain and Mexico, ofrendas (offerings) are made on this day. In Spain, the play Don Juan Tenorio is traditionally performed. In Belgium, France, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Portugal and Spain people bring flowers to the graves of dead relatives.

CASTELLANO
El Día de Todos Los Santos es una solemnidad cristiana instituida en honor de Todos los Santos, conocidos y desconocidos, según el papa Urbano IV, para compensar cualquier falta a las fiestas de los santos durante el año por parte de los fieles.
En los países de tradición católica, se celebra el 1 de noviembre; mientras que en la Iglesia Ortodoxa se celebra el primer domingo después de Pentecostés; aunque también la celebran las Iglesias Anglicana y Luterana. En ella se venera a todos los santos que no tienen una fiesta propia en el calendario litúrgico. Por tradición es un día feriado no laborable.
La Iglesia Primitiva acostumbraba celebrar el aniversario de la muerte de un mártir en el lugar del martirio. Frecuentemente los grupos de mártires morían el mismo día, lo cual condujo naturalmente a una celebración común. En la persecución de Diocleciano el número de mártires llego a ser tan grande que no se podía separar un día para asignársele. Pero la Iglesia, sintiendo que cada mártir debería ser venerado, señalo un día en común para todos. La primera muestra de ello se remonta a Antioquia en el Domingo antes de Pentecostés.
Gregorio III (731-741) consagro una capilla en la Basílica de San Pedro a todos los Santos y arregló el aniversario para el 1 de noviembre. La basílica de los Apóstoles que ya existía en Roma, ahora su dedicación seria recordada anualmente el 1 de Mayo. Gregorio IV extendió la celebración del 1 de Noviembre a toda la Iglesia, a mediados del siglo IX. La vigilia parece haber sido llevada a cabo antes que la misma fiesta. Y la octava fue adicionada por Sixto IV en el siglo XV.
Esta vigilia, resultó sin embargo, coincidir con la celebración pagana de Samhain el 31 de octubre, ahora llamado Halloween (nombre que proviene de la frase "All hallow's Eve" o "Víspera de Todos los Santos" entre los anglosajones), que marcaba el final del año celta. En esta fecha se celebraba entre los antiguos, la apertura dimensional entre el mundo tangible y el mundo de las tinieblas. Y que no tiene que ver con la fiesta cristiana de Todos los Santos.
En España, dentro de la tradición católica se realiza una visita a donde yacen los seres queridos. Es el día del año en que más flores se venden.
En Cataluña se celebra la denominada castañada en la que se comen boniatos al horno, castañas y unos dulces especiales para este día llamados panellets. Hay una costumbre de dibujar y recortar una mujer asando castañas con siete piernas, a la que se le corta una pierna cada día hasta el día de la celebración.

Color 1st comment | large on black | Link to prints available on my profile page
Trying to chose between the black & white and the color on this one nearly killed me (see first comment for the color image). You really can't imagine how much time I spent flipping back and forth and agonizing and changing my mind. At last I made the decision to post the black & white because I noticed I had a pattern going with my last few shots: color, b/w, color, b/w, color ... well, it was b/w's turn I guess.
I really do love both versions, and both types of presentation in general. For my recent work, the b/w I feel can present a stronger overall composition and image - without the "distraction" of color. However, the color often seems more beautiful, and more reminiscent of the scene itself.
When I was a painter (and still, as a designer) I am very colorful and think of my strength in the use of color to be among my greatest talents as an artist. So, it's not so easy for me to leave the beauty of color behind. But, the strength and impact of b/w, well ... ahhhh! I just go back and forth a million times.
I know that whichever I choose there will be many who will prefer the other (but also many who will be quite happy with the choice). I value critique and the opinions of others, but ultimately it is my own opinion that I need to find each time. Usually I can find it. With this photo, I could not.

26e numéro de la série "Dans le secret de..."
Wladimir et Isabelle travaillent tous deux aux Archives nationales. La venue d'un deuxième enfant les conduit à s'interroger sur les possibilités de trouver un logement légèrement plus grand.
Pour cela, il faudra explorer toutes les pistes...
Première étape, les agences immobilières. Du centre de Paris aux arrondissements périphériques, à quelle superficie prétendre lorsqu'on jouit d'un peu plus de 3000 euros de revenu mensuel ? Visites, rencontres, discussions, négociations... Brice, responsable immobilier dans le 18e arrondissement de Paris "joue la vérité des prix". Alors que d'autres laissent miroiter comme possible ce qui se révèle illusoire aux yeux de notre jeune couple, celui-ci ne cache pas qu'aujourd'hui Paris est devenue, comme la plupart des grandes villes de France, une cité interdite pour les travailleurs qui n'ont pour vivre que le produit de leur travail, souvent réduit à un salaire qui n'a pas suivi le coût de la vie, notamment de la spéculation qui a frappé l'immobilier...
Et le logement social ? Dans la file d'attente d'une mairie d'arrondissement à Paris, confrontation entre Wladimir et quelques demandeurs de logement dont la fiche technique laisse perplexe. Rencontre avec un public concerné, "jeunes ou vieux, français ou étrangers, travailleurs ou retraités". Révélations de la responsable du logement. Les ventes à la découpe allongent les listes. Des dizaines de milliers de familles confrontées à ce phénomène à Paris, comme dans les autres grandes villes, se tournent aussi vers des services sociaux surchargés.
Et les petites annonces ? Que reste-t-il pour ces millions qui, contrairement à notre couple, n'ont pas un tel salaire ou pas de garantie de l'emploi ? Voyage des tentes de "médecins du monde" aux campings qui en périphérie sont parfois le lieu de résurgence des bidonvilles d'antan, peuplés par des salariés qui n'ont d'autre choix pour vivre.
Du maire de la Ferté Alais à Wlad et Isabelle, en passant par Brice, le responsable immobilier ; Greg, le manager d'agence ou Stéphane, le négociateur de logements, l'histoire de Wlad et Isabelle nous fait découvrir des situations plus surprenantes les unes que les autres. Un constat stupéfiant et affolant !

I recently acquired a Gibson SG Special in bad shape. I took it to a luthier to see what could be done. It turned out that besides the finish, the guitar is fine. Rick Mullen, the luthier, and I decided to do a makeover. He striped off the old finish, sanded it down a hair and is refinishing it in dark green satin. I chose dark green because I love the color and thought it would look good with the ebony fretboard. Most SGs are either cherry, black, or white. This should turn out to be a very unique looking instrument.
Photos taken by Rick.
Rick, besides being a luthier, is also a bass player and played with Commander Cody for many years. If you live in the Hudson Valley region and love guitars, a trip to his workshop is well worth the trip.

Someone once told me that you have to choose
What you win or lose
You can’t have everything
Don’t you take chances
You might feel the pain
Don’t you love in vain
’cause love won’t set you free
I can’t stand by the side
And watch this life pass me by
So unhappy
But safe as could be
So what if it hurts me?
So what it I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge,
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don’t care about all the pain in front of me
I'm just trying to be happy
I just wanna be happy, yeah
Holding on tightly
just can’t let it go
just trying to play my role
slowly disappear
But all these days
They feel like they’re the same
Just different faces
different place
Get me out of here
I can’t stand by the side
Ooh, no
And watch this life pass me by
Pass me by
So what if it hurts me?
So what if i break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge?
my feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
don’t care about all the pain in front of me
I’m just trying to be happy
Oh, happy
Oh
So many times i can't see
Like I'm a stranger on this road
But don't say victim
Don’t say anything
So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge?
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don’t care about all the pain in front of me
I just wanna be happy
Happy
I just wanna be
Oh
I just wanna be
Happy

Recently returned from two days spent at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and this is one of many photos I took while there. We stayed at the historic El Tovar Hotel, situated just along the rim - what a great location! I hadn't been to the Grand Canyon in 15 years and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the breath-taking landscapes once again.
INFORMATION ON THE GRAND CANYON:
The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided gorge carved by the Colorado River in the United States in the state of Arizona. It is largely contained within the Grand Canyon National Park — one of the first national parks in the United States. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
Longstanding scientific consensus has been that the canyon was created by the Colorado River over a six million year period. The canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, ranges in width from 4 to 18 miles (6.4 to 29 km) and attains a depth of over a mile (1.83 km) (6000 feet). Nearly two billion years of the Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. The canyon began in the west, followed by another that formed in the east. Eventually, the two broke through and met as a single majestic rent in the earth some six million years ago. The merger apparently occurred where the river today bends to the west, in the area known as the Kaibab Arch.
Before European immigration, the area was inhabited by Native Americans who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon ("Ongtupqa" in Hopi language) a holy site and made pilgrimages to it. The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.
The Grand Canyon is a massive rift in the Colorado Plateau that exposes uplifted Proterozoic and Paleozoic strata, and is also one of the six distinct physiographic sections of the Colorado Plateau province. The Grand Canyon is unmatched throughout the world for the vistas it offers to visitors on the rim. It is not the deepest canyon in the world — Cotahuasi Canyon (11598 feet or 3535 m) and Colca Canyon (10499 feet or 3200 m), both in Arequipa, Peru, and Hells Canyon (7,993 feet or 2436 m) on the Oregon-Idaho border, are all deeper — but Grand Canyon is known for its overwhelming size and its intricate and colorful landscape. Geologically it is significant because of the thick sequence of ancient rocks that are beautifully preserved and exposed in the walls of the canyon. These rock layers record much of the early geologic history of the North American continent.
About 600 deaths have occurred in the Grand Canyon since the 1870s. Some of these deaths occurred as the result of overly zealous photographic endeavors, some were the result of airplane collisions within the canyon, and some visitors drowned in the Colorado River. Many hikers overestimate their fitness level, become dehydrated and confused, and must be rescued. The Park Service now posts a picture of an attractive and fit young man at several trailheads with the caption "Every year we rescue hundreds of people from the Canyon. Most of them look like him", in an attempt to discourage hikers from feats which are beyond their abilities.
According to Over the Edge: Death in the Grand Canyon, 50 fatalities have resulted from falls; 65 deaths were attributable to environmental causes, including heat stroke, cardiac arrest, dehydration, and hypothermia; 7 were caught in flash floods; 79 were drowned in the Colorado River; 242 perished in airplane and helicopter crashes (128 of them in the 1956 disaster mentioned below); 25 died in freak errors and accidents, including lightning strikes and rock falls; 47 committed suicide; and 23 were the victims of homicides.

The Old City of Jerusalem is a 0.9 square kilometer (0.35 square mile) area within the modern city of Jerusalem. Until the 1860s this area constituted the entire city of Jerusalem. The Old City is home to several sites of key religious importance: the Temple Mount and its Western Wall for Jews, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for Christians, and the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque for Muslims.
Traditionally, the Old City has been divided into four quarters, although the current designations were introduced only in the 19th century. Today, the Old City is roughly divided into the Muslim Quarter, the Christian Quarter, the Jewish Quarter and the Armenian Quarter.
The Old City was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site List in 1981. In 1982, Jordan requested that it be added to the List of World Heritage Sites in danger.

Citroën Xantia
"La Citroën Xantia est une automobile de gamme moyenne, fabriquée à Rennes, produite à 1 216 734 exemplaires entre mars 1993 et octobre 2002.
Elle remplace la Citroën BX.
Elle est équipée comme sa devancière de la suspension hydropneumatique, elle offre sur les finitions haut-de-gamme la suspension Hydractive de la XM, dans sa version «Hydractive 2», par ailleurs la série Activa ajoute à l'Hydractive 2 le SC/CAR (Système Citroën de Contrôle Actif de Roulis) qui tend à supprimer le roulis. Elle est dotée d'un train arrière autodirectionnel dérivé de la ZX.
Elle est motorisée par des 4-cylindres de 1 600 à 2 100 cm³ ou par un V6 de 2 946 cm³.
Dessinée par Bertone, c'est une « deux volumes et demi » avec quatre portes et hayon."
- La Xantia Phase I (1993 - 1997)
"Présentée à la presse en décembre 1992, la Xantia voit sa ligne saluée pour sa beauté et sa finition récompensée pour ses progrès par rapport à la BX.
En mars 1993, la berline est lancée. Elle propose alors trois finitions (X, SX et VSX) et quatre motorisations essence (1.6i de 89 ch, 1.8i de 103 ch, 2.0i de 123 ch, et 2.0 16V de 155 ch reprenant le bloc de la ZX).
Les versions VSX (haut de gamme) sont équipées du système hydropneumatique "Hydractive II", suspension hydraulique pilotée électriquement, (...)"
- La Xantia Phase II (1998 - 2002)
"Fin 1997, la Xantia connaît un restylage important. Extérieurement, la face avant est redessinée et les feux arrière passent de rouges et noirs à rouges et blancs. Intérieurement, l'habitacle voit la disparition de la barre de maintien sur le tableau de bord du côté du passager avant, remplacée par une boîte à gants plus classique, facilitant également l'incorporation d'un airbag avant passager.
Côté motorisation, les ailes élargies inaugurent les 2.0 Turbo CT généralisés à toute la gamme.
Le 1.6i est remplacé par une version dégonflée du 1.8i pour proposer 90 ch avec cependant un couple plus important.
La première année de la phase II (1998) voit l'apparition d'une nouvelle motorisation diesel : le 2.0 HDi (DW10ATED) de 110 ch. La Xantia est le premier modèle du groupe automobile PSA a bénéficier de cette nouvelle technologie de diesel à rampe commune haute pression. (...) "

Citroën Xantia
"The Citroën Xantia, pronounced "Zan-ti-a" was a large family car (D) produced by the French automaker Citroën, and designed by Daniel Abramson of Bertone.
Presented to the press in December 1992, the car was produced between 1992 to 2001, with a facelift in 1997. Citroën sold over 1.2 million, Xantias during its nine years of production.
By January 2001, when production ended, Iran's SAIPA started production of the Xantia. Iran manufacturing ended by September 2010.
Production in France, however, continued until October 2002, which overlapped with the C5 by eighteen months.
The name "Xantia" is derived from Xanthos, meaning "yellow" or "golden" in the Greek language."

thinking about her was always in my mind ,
and the hallucinations always came also to my mind ,
that sometimes I forget myself and my future after all of that thinking
and I saw myself for many monthes that truly
love is madness !

كَان التَفكِيرّ يَشغَل بَاليْ كَثيراً بهَا ،
وَكَثِيراً هِيَ الهَلوَسَاتْ التِيْ كَانّتْ تُرَاودَنِي ،
لِدَرَجة أنّي نَسِيتُ نَفّسيْ و مُستَقبَلِي بَعدَ أنّ تَشبّع دِمَاغِي مِنْ التَفكِيرّ ،
و رَأيتُ فِي نَفسِي لـ عِدةْ شُهورّ فِي أنّه بـِ حَقّ ،،
الحُبْ جُنونّ !

Caenomorpha medusula atraviesa el agua a la velocidad del rayo, como un meteorito indeciso que duda donde caer y en su caída gira, se desploma y vuelve a subir para intentarlo de nuevo. Con su cuerpo de medusa y su cola de cometa es también un ciliado tan extraño como difícil de fotografiar, no se detiene a descansar, infatigable y rápido este minúsculo ser parece tener en su interior la energía de los astros.
La parte anterior de Caenomorpha se despliega como el sombrero de una medusa rematada en varios penachos de cilios, unos lo rodean y otros lo recorren en su longitud formando una cresta de hilo. Bajo este sobrero de copa redonda, el cuerpo de Caenomorpha se estrecha y estrecha hasta formar una larga cola y desaparecer, gracias a ella, los movimientos no son tan erráticos y sostienen al ciliado en su carrera loca por el agua, como la cola de una cometa en el cielo.
La boca de Caenomorpha no se abre en su extremo sino bajo el sobrero, queda así - aunque no tiene dientes- protegida de los golpes que pudiera darse en su alocada carrera. En su interior dos macronúcleos y un micronúcleo se encargan de pilotar esta descontrolada nave y de intervenir en los procesos de reproducción. A su lado, un hueco esférico no es más que una vacuola contráctil que a ritmo de corazón bombea el exceso de agua que puede haber quedado atrapada en su interior.
Caenomorpha medusula vive en las aguas sobrecargadas de materia orgánica y en las que falta el oxígeno, aún así, Caenomorpha parece respirar y muy bien, porque nunca se fatiga, a nosotros nos ha dejado con la lengua fuera después de una loca carrera de persecución y ahora necesitamos descansar.
Nuestro ciliado de hoy, Caenomorpha medusula, procede de unas muestras recogidas hace cinco días días en la Laguna de las Sanguijuelas, junto a Vigo de Sanabria y en el incomparable marco del zamorano Lago de Sanabria y ha sido fotografiado a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia .

☁ la nube negra de una justicia pervertida en nuestro país, movida por la envidia y la venganza, permanecerá aquí, hasta que soplen los vientos limpios que todos necesitamos. La Justicia es uno de los cimientos necesarios para la Paz. Desde aquí todo nuestro apoyo al Juez Baltasar Garzón -el buen Juez de Saramago- y a las personas de buena voluntad como él que trabajan por la Justicia.

SELF-PORTRAITR: AN INTERACTIVE EXHIBITION CURATING THE FLICKR.COM
COMMUNITY
June 30 through August 25, 2006
Pace/MacGill Gallery and the School of Visual Arts’ graduate photography department are pleased to present an interactive exhibition of self-portraits drawn from Flickr.com, the online digital photo-sharing network. Flickr’s user base consists of over one million members who share images and image-related information. Two leading forces in the New York art world—-a major photography gallery and a top art school—-have joined together to observe this online conversation of image making.
The mining and showcasing of this material strives to engage and expand a rapidly growing virtual arts community. The exhibition will be accessible to both viewers and contributors alike via the Pace/MacGill website www.pacemacgill.com. Pace/MacGill’s gallery space will house ten computers on which visitors can peruse the pictures gathered from numerous global photographers as they would online. A few monitors will display slideshows of images specifically collected via the gallery website.
The exhibition will not only rely on the Flickr community for content, but will also depend upon the activity of the site’s users for the organization and editing of what is anticipated to be thousands of images from the age-old genre of self-portraiture. Whether the image is taken by a professional photographer overseas or by an amateur experimenting with a camera phone in New York City, each image posted on Flickr and “tagged” as a self-portrait will automatically be filtered and directed into the exhibition.
The Pace/MacGill Flickr interface, created by SVA’s Jeremy Chien and Stephen Jablonsky and programmed by Kelvin Luck, allows users to vote for favorites, track the most viewed image, and create categories. Sorting options or subcategories (self portrait “with mirror” or at “beach,” for example) within the virtual exhibition will enable further definition and refinement.
The work in the exhibition will perpetually expand with the proliferation of users until the popularity of each category aids in its editing. As more images are collected and more users are interacting with the site to make selections, the work will become more discerning and interesting. One can choose the role they wish to assume: curator, artist, etcetera. With every click of the mouse, viewers become participants; the interactive community defines the exhibition. The hope is that the final result will be a 50 print exhibition of images chosen by the community.
The School of Visual Arts is widely recognized as one of the finest art schools in the country for its innovative and experimental program philosophies, its participation in the cultural life of New York City, and its unparalleled faculty comprised of professional artists. The MFA Photography, Video and Related Media department has been a leader in the implementation of photography in the digital world. The exhibition has been assembled by Pace/MacGill Gallery, Jeremy Chien, and Stephen Jablonsky. Chien and Jablonsky are both alumni and faculty members at the School of Visual Arts’ MFA program in Photography, Video and Related Media. UK web developer Kelvin Luck programmed the exhibition software to search, filter and explore Flickr.com.
Gallery summer hours are: Monday-Thursday, 9:30-5:30, and Friday, 9:30-4:00. The gallery will be closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Summer hours begin on June 20 and continue through Labor Day.

Monte Castello di Vibio Tra il verde delle colline Umbre.
Il nome
L'etimologia del nome "Monte Castello" deriva dalla tipica struttura di fortilizio medioevale costruito in cima ad una collina mentre l'aggiunta del "Vibio" risale ad un'epoca più recente, il 1863, anno nel quale con Regio Decreto del Re d'Italia, Vittorio Emanuele II, alcuni comuni delle province dell'Italia centro – settentrionale furono autorizzati ad assumere nuove denominazioni a causa delle frequenti omonimie che si riscontrarono dopo l'Unità della nazione. La scelta del "Vibio" potrebbe derivare dal nome di un'antica e nobile famiglia di Perugia (denominata in seguito "Colonia Vibia Augusta Perusia") un cui membro divenne imperatore romano. Toponimi con il nome di "Vibio" compaiono nel nome di un'antica abbazia romanica posta nelle vicinanze del paese (San Lorenzo in Vibiata) ed in un iscrizione apposta sopra ad un'urna cineraria di origine romana dedicata a "Tertia Vibia", rinvenuta nei pressi della frazione di Doglio. La Storia
Il paese, derivando il nome dalla "gens Vibia", ha sicuramente origini romane ma, con ogni probabilità, molto attiva dovette essere anche la vita delle popolazioni indigene ancor prima dell'espansione della civiltà romana. Il periodo dell'età di mezzo ha comunque cancellato ogni traccia di quell'antico passato e Monte Castello di Vibio conserva ancor oggi la tipica struttura di un "castrum" medioevale.
Nel 1245, Caccianemico, podestà di Todi, fece radere al suolo le sue mura e nel 1247 il suo successore, Tolomeo di Pietro, fece demolire i torrioni. Entrato a far parte del territorio di Todi, venne inserito nella struttura amministrativa della città e del territorio tuderte, talchè lo troviamo inscritto nel "liber focularium", cioè nel catasto delle famiglie del 1290 con una popolazione di 1000 abitanti.
Nel 1323 la rocca venne ricostruita e registrata facente parte del suo sistema difensivo al comando di castellano di nomina todina.
Nel 1392 vi si insedia la signoria. Bonifacio IX infatti assegna a Catalano degli Atti il territorio di Monte Castello perchè vi esercitasse i suoi diritti di signore.
La famiglia degli Atti vi si insediò stabilmente solo dopo il 1409 e vi restò fino al 1464 quanto Monte Castello passò sotto il diretto dominio della Chiesa dalla quale Todi lo ebbe in vicariato nel 1475. Diverse furono le dispute con la città dominante tanto che Todi, nel 1565, dovette addirittura ricomperare il paese dalla Camera Apostolica e dal 1596, anno in cui il dominio appare definitivamente consolidato, per due secoli Monte Castello ritorna ad essere parte integrante del comitato tudertino.
In epoca napoleonica, fra il 1798 ed il 1799, conobbe però il periodo di riscatto e del massimo splendore allochè divenne Capocantone amministrativo di un vasto terriotorio (comprendente ben 24 comuni e frazioni) all'interno del Dipartimento del Trasimeno. Dopo la seconda restaurazione pontificia del 1814 Monte Castello è divenuto comune.
