Environ 2000 étudiants et lycéens ont défilé dans le calme le 27 Novembre depuis République contre la la LRU (loi Pécresse sur l'autonomie des universités), votée en aout pendant les vacances scolaires, et dont ils demandent l'abrogation. D'autres manifestations ont eu lieu dans de grandes villes françaises.
En fin de manif, un feu a été improvisé à l'aide de palettes et de cartons sur la chaussée pas loin du cordon de CRS bloquant la rue des Ecoles, qui ont laissé faire. Ils éteindront tranquillement les braises en fin de soirée (d'où le nuage de fumée à gauche).

I never used to drink coffee. After I moved to Guelph a few years ago I tried it. Then I tried our local Planet Bean Coffee...... and it was all over. I now buy freshly roasted coffee every week or so.... and grind it in my new burr grinder right before I brew it in my french press. I have somehow become a coffee snob. Never saw it coming.
A bonus of drinking Planet Bean coffee is that it is Fair Trade and Organic!
Camera: Nikon D700 [ISO 200]:[5s] Lens:135mm 2.8 AIS [f4]
Strobist: SB900 @ 17mm 1/8th power, into 28" wescott softbox camera right. Used a whiteboard to attempt to reflect some of the light back to left side of subject.
Triggered by PWII's.
After the flash went off, I used a small pen flashlight and made quick circles in the air during the remainder of the 5 second exposure. I kind of like this one because the "halo" is all messed up. it sure is hard to draw a straight line while reaching over your setup in the dark. single exposure, no photoshop editing.
Il paganello 2010
Il solito freddo da lupi, anche se da questa foto non sembrerebbe.
Poco tempo, quest'anno, da dedicare all'evento.
Condizioni meteorologiche critiche. Instabilità, sopra e dentro.
Le solite conferme di un evento che arriva ti prende e ti porta via... lasciandoti un martedì in cui puoi solo scrivere, guardare e ricordare, cercare e rielaborare.
Mi accadeva quando ci giocavo, ci lavoravo.
Ma accade anche oggi, che sono un mero utente di questo pezzo di vita.
Accade anche a chi, come me, non è dentro se non con lo spirito, e non ne succhia il midollo come andrebbe fatto in occasioni del genere.
Ma insomma, pur situato ai margini di un evento che concentra su una spiaggia l'eterogeneità del mondo, assistere al paganone è sempre bello. E' sempre una possibilità.
L'effetto del passaggio è questo. Da sempre.
Il Paganello è in grado di mettermi quella bella malinconia addosso. Ed è in grado di metterla prima che finisca, a volte, come quest'anno, prima che inizi. Ho convissuto con la malinconia da fine torneo da qualche giorno prima dell'inizio. Quando il rombo dei motori è talmente alto, prima della partenza, che non esiste altro, se non l'imminente welcome party.
Perché il paganello è troppo per quel poco tempo che dura.
O forse è il giusto, giacché le pause e l'aspettativa sono forse più importanti dell'azione che precedono.
Comunque, rivedere Thusar è stato fantastico ed assistere a quel mondo libero e semplice, pure.
Quest'anno, una novità fotografica.
Fra le foto standard del torneo, cercherò di raccontare il paganello 2010 pure con qualche ritratto, senza menzionare nell'immagine quel disco di plastica dura. Vediamo cosa ne uscirà fuori.
Ah, per chi non sapesse di cosa parlo

This was brighter when I original edited it . . . odd. View On Black
Day 2 of lighting class was fun. We did a bit more on angles & the best ways to light a stage, before moving onto coloured gels and learning about additive mixing and how actually when you subtract colours it comes up with something which you wouldn't actually expect. & then mix some colours together & where you'd expect white you actually got black. We looked at a lighting plan then, & the grid looked quite complicated at first, but once I understood what I looked at it was quite easy to read. Helen said I now probably know more than Tristam about lighting. After taking this course I now see how little Tristam knew about lighting while he was at school. It's quite amazing really. If I'd been him I would have wanted to know more!
I offered to help Helen rigging when she has a production on, & she said if they hire out a moving light then I can come & play about with it, which would be awesome. When I was walking home there were all the new students & prefects arriving & I felt sorta sad. I have so many memories in this place, & now there are all these new students here, & they'll be making memories now. At one point during the class we were up in the lighting box, & on the wall was a label with 'The Stage Tech Mascot' written on it, & it was in Lauren's handwriting & I remembered her writing it, & placing this little toy above it, & I thought about all the memories I've had over the years in that box, & realised that I was probably the only one left around here who remembers them, because everyone else has left. It just made me a little sad.
I had a fight with my Mom after dinner, because she kept saying I was basically going to waste my life, or at least this year, & I have done everything to prove that is not the case. And I think Max & I are fighting. I'm not sure. We were both arguing sometime at the beginning of the week, & then I went online & he wasn't there, & then I didn't have time to go online. So he text me today, & said 'Hope you are well. X' which I thought was rather formal, so I asked if he'd be online tonight, & he said yes, but that he couldn't text today because he was busy, & I was so pissed off because I was busy with a class all day, & it just annoyed me that he'd assumed I was expecting to text him all day. & now he's not online which is so annoying.

I had photographed this vintage "motel" at night, with its dead vintage neon signs.
This is what it looks like on a beautiful spring day! And it wasn't until I actually looked at these photos that I discovered the magnificent old pinon tree in the courtyard! There's something about this place...
I've figured out that that top part of the sign used to be animated, with a little thing swinging side to side.... I bet I loved it when I was a kid.
After renting a magic Canon L lens, I thought I'd be disappointed with my "old" 28-135. But I wasn't!!
I just replaced the color version of this with a duotoned blackandwhite, conversion done in Lightroom. There was so much garish stuff in this image that I decided to dump the colors. I think bw suits some of this project. And I need to practice more bw.
I've been fussing with this picture all afternoon. Some would say, "What a waste of a day!"
Estopim!

Sur la plage d'Omaha, hommes et véhicules de renforts croulent sous leurs chargements.
Au centre un Dukw
www.6juin1944.com/assaut/amphib.php?id=19
Photo prise le 6 juin 1944, à la mi-journée, au Ruquet (St-Laurent-sur-Mer), au moment où y débarquent les 2 régiments de renforts, le 18th IR de la 1st US ID, et le 115th IR de la 29th US ID.
A ce moment les Wn 64 et 65 qui encadrent la vallée du Ruquet sont déjà tombés aux mains des Américains qui peuvent commencer à ouvrir la route du Ruquet vers le village de St Laurent toujours tenu par les Allemands.
Photo prise sans doute juste après p011402 et p013267, le Dukw n'a pas bougé, les soldats chargés ont continué d'avancer, les Half-tracks passent, la dune, la fumée....Le cadrage est un peu plus serré.

Well, I finally made it back to Richmond Park yesterday, it's only taken me FIVE YEARS!!! Not been there since 2009!!! and I nearly didn't go yesterday either, because of initial bad weather and engineering works on the railway...it was a Sunday I guess, that's power for the course!!!
Anyhoo, I was rewarded with my FIRST ever Fallow deer Rut, which was pretty intense for 5 minutes!!
Hope everybody had a great Weekend..:)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~ This article is about the deer genus. For other uses, see Dama (disambiguation).
Description ~ The male fallow deer is known as a buck, the female is a doe, and the young a fawn. Adult bucks are 140–160 cm (55–63 in) long with a 85–95 cm (33–37 in) shoulder height, and typically 60–100 kg (130–220 lb) in weight; does are 130–150 cm (51–59 in) long with a 75–85 cm (30–33 in) shoulder height, and 30–50 kg (66–110 lb) in weight. The largest bucks may measure 190 cm (75 in) long and weigh 150 kg (330 lb). Fawns are born in spring at about 30 cm (12 in) and weigh around 4.5 kg (9.9 lb). The life span is around 12–16 years.
The species has great variations in the colour of their coats, with four main variants, "common", "menil", melanistic and leucistic – a genuine colour variety, not albinistic. The white is the lightest coloured, almost white; common and menil are darker, and melanistic is very dark, sometimes even black (easily confused with the sika deer).
Common: Chestnut coat with white mottles that are most pronounced in summer with a much darker, unspotted coat in the winter. Light-coloured area around the tail, edged with black. Tail is light with a black stripe.
Menil: Spots more distinct than common in summer and no black around the rump patch or on the tail. In winter, spots still clear on a darker brown coat.
Melanistic (black): All year black shading to greyish-brown. No light-coloured tail patch or spots.
Leucistic (white, but not albino): Fawns cream-coloured, adults become pure white, especially in winter. Dark eyes and nose, no spots.
Most herds consist of the common coat variation, yet it is not rare to see animals of the menil coat variation. The Melanistic variation is rarer and white very much rarer still.
Only bucks have antlers, which are broad and shovel-shaped (palmate) from three years. In the first two years the antler is a single spike. They are gazing animals; their preferred habitat is mixed woodland and open grassland. During the rut bucks will spread out and females move between them, at this time of year fallow deer are relatively ungrouped compared to the rest of the year when they try to stay together in groups of up to 150.
Agile and fast in case of danger, fallow deer can run up to a maximum speed of 30 mph (48 km/h) over short distances (being naturally less muscular than other cervids such as roe deer, they are not as fast). Fallow deer can also make jumps up to 1.75 metres high and up to 5 metres in length.
On black — On blog — Slideshow
Part of a brief series of photos on the Rozanji, a temple credited as one of the places where Murakami Shikibu wrote, exactly a thousands years ago, the Genji monogatari. The house of his father, the courtier Fujiwara Tametoki, was here and, if not the building, this could be the place she was refering to as "home" when wrote in her Diary (as translated by Richard Bowring):
"What on earth are you doing in such cold weather?" asked His Excellency. "You are meant to be convalescing!" Nevertheless he brought her exquisite paper brushes and ink from time to time, an even an inkstone. When the women found out that Her Majesty had given it to me, they all complained loudly that I had obtained it by going behind their backs. Despite this, she made me another present of some excellent colored paper and some brushes.
Then, while I was busy in attendance, His Excellency sneaked into my room and found the copy of the Tale that I had had brought from home for safe-keeping. It seems that he gave the whole thing to his second daughter. I no longer had the fair copy in my possession and was sure that the version she had would hurt my reputation.
As the setsubun festivities were taking place, the garden was closed the day we payed our visit, but this man we made friends with managed to get us in there after a few words with the monks. Once there, he pointed out to the room at the corner, left side here, and said it was there where Murasaki Shikibu began writing her masterwork, while looking at the garden (now called Genji niwa, id est Genji's Garden). Oviously an exageration (the temple was rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1788) but the experience was moving all the same. And, after all, if not exactly there, it could be a few meters from there, huh?

Starring Ray “Crash” Corrigan, Lee Van Atta, C. Montague Shaw, Monte Blue, Lois Wilde, John Merton, William Farnum.
Undersea Kingdom begins with a protracted introduction to our hero, US Navy lieutenant “Crash” Corrigan (Ray Corrigan), in a series of sequences that establish his athletic prowess. After Crash has excelled at football, wrestling, and other strenuous sports, the main plot gets underway when Corrigan is assigned to accompany scientist Professor Norton (C. Montague Shaw) on a submarine expedition to the bottom of the ocean. Norton is convinced that a recent series of earthquakes are emanating from the lost land of Atlantis–which, according to his theory, was not destroyed when it sank to the ocean floor but instead preserved by a protective dome. Norton, Corrigan, newspaper reporter Diana Compton (Lois Wilde), and Norton’s young son Billy (Lee Van Atta) discover the truth of Norton’s theory when their undersea journey brings them to Atlantis–a country that culturally and sartorially resembles Ancient Greece, but possesses technology never seen in the ancient or modern world. There, they find that the Atlantean tyrant Unga Khan (Monte Blue) has been causing the earthquakes, which are mere test runs for his planned conquest of the “surface world” with his arsenal of destructive weapons. Norton is taken prisoner by Khan, who makes the professor his scientific lackey after after technologically brainwashing him, while Crash is captured by Sharad (William Farnum), the high priest of Poseidon and the leader of an Atlantean faction that opposes Unga Khan. Eventually, Crash convinces Sharad that they share a common enemy, and is given command of the high priest’s “White Robe” army. He takes command of Sharad’s campaign against Unga Khan’s “Black Robes,” while Khan assiduously prepares for an invasion of the unsuspecting surface world.
Undersea Kingdom is invariably compared to Universal’s Flash Gordon, which was released two months earlier in 1936; in fact, it’s often cited as a direct imitation of the Universal chapterplay. Given the closeness of the two serials’ release dates, this is unlikely–although Republic did begin producing Kingdom when Universal announced Gordon, no doubt hoping to steal a little of Gordon’s thunder with a sci-fi adventure of their own. Thematically, however, Undersea Kingdom owes more to Phantom Empire, released two years earlier by Republic’s predecessor Mascot, than it does to Flash Gordon. Among the two serials’ points in common are an alien kingdom that is still part of the good old Earth, a child co-hero, and a villainous robot corps. Also like Empire, Kingdom lacks any of the otherworldly atmosphere of Flash Gordon; Atlantis’ locales and inhabitants never come alive the way Mongo’s do. The troubles of Atlantis never becomes involving in their own right; the struggle between Unga Khan and Sharad is a mere backdrop to Khan’s plan to conquer the surface world; (in fact, the final destruction of Sharad’s city is only a side effect of Khan’s attempt to recapture Professor Norton).
However, while Undersea Kingdom is no Flash Gordon, it has much to recommend it. As already mentioned, the writers (John Rathmell, Oliver Drake, Maurice Geraghty, and Tracy Knight) don’t succeed in making Atlantis seem very colorful (although they give the supposedly Greek Atlanteans a wild potpourri of names that hail from Mongolia, ancient Persia, Phoenicia, and many other places), but they keep their plot moving swiftly. The final chapter is unusually exciting, with Unga Khan confidently preparing to blast opposing Navy ships from the ocean as Crash and Norton work frantically to cripple his defenses from within his impregnable tower.
While the serial’s principal outdoor location (Iverson’s Movie Ranch) doesn’t look very otherworldly, both Sharad’s Sacred City (a disguised version of Republic’s Spanish fort, enlarged by some excellent matte work) and Unga Khan’s laboratory are decorated in properly peculiar style, while the serial’s various miniatures (the Atlantean “Volplane,” Norton’s submarine, Khan’s rocket-powered tower) are very well-designed by Howard and Theodore Lydecker. The Juggernaut, a tank-like vehicle that anticipates the Jungle Cruiser in Tim Tyler’s Luck, is similarly impressive, while a squad of robots (called “Volkites” here) will only impress those (like myself) who don’t object to the water- heater-like appearance of the robot in the later Mysterious Doctor Satan; the Volkites are near-duplicates of that automaton.
The serial features few of the fistfights common to Republic’s later serials, but compensates by including some truly unique action sequences, chief among them the large-scale attacks on Sharad’s Sacred City by the Black Robes; these battle scenes are beautifully staged by directors Joseph Kane and B. Reeves Eason (Eason directed many similar sequences in silent and sound “spectacles” like 1925’s Ben-Hur and 1936’s Charge of the Light Brigade). The serial’s smaller-scaled swordfights are also well-handled, as are several chariot chases, Crash’s tightrope-walking escape from Khan’s tower, and the wrestling matches between Crash and various opponents (although his repeated success in overpowering two villains at once somewhat stretches credibility). The serial’s chapter endings are interesting (particularly the ones involving Crash’s fall down an elevator shaft, his apparent crushing by the Juggernaut, and the good guys’ failed escape in the Volplane that ends in their being shot down), but too many of them–including the famed Juggernaut cliffhanger–are resolved by blatant “cheats” in the following chapter.
The serial’s cast is uneven in terms of acting. Ray Corrigan, excellent as a laid-back but determined cowboy hero in Republic’s Three Mesquiteers films, seems slightly uncomfortable as a swashbuckling near-superhero (with a rather embarrassing outfit); he delivers most of his lines hurriedly in rather stone-faced fashion and lacks the dash that helped Buster Crabbe put across the similarly difficult role of Flash Gordon. Monte Blue is also a bit miscast as the warlord Unga Khan. While Blue was good as more prosaic villains like the evil Yellow Weasel in Hawk of the Wilderness, his appearance and voice aren’t “bravura” enough for such a larger-than-life part. He voices Khan’s megalomaniacal ravings in a harsh monotone, with none of the measured staginess someone like Charles Middleton or Bela Lugosi would have given them.
The lovely Lois Wilde has very little to do as the leading lady, but delivers her lines with a breathless enthusiasm almost unparalleled among serial actresses. Lee Van Atta is good as the capable, if somewhat cocky, Billy Norton, in effect the serial’s co-hero. John Merton features prominently as a tough Black Robe soldier named Moloch who switches over to the good guys’ side and provides Crash with loyal support; Merton handles this change-of-pace part with plenty of vigor and conviction. Lon Chaney Jr. is properly snarling and aggressive as Captain Hakur, the leader of Unga Khan’s Black Robe army, while Raymond Hatton–surprisingly cast as a villain–is his second-in-command. Boothe Howard makes a slick aide-de-camp for Monte Blue, and Lane Chandler is William Farnum’s stalwart lieutenant. Farnum himself handles the role of Sharad with his customary dignity and theatricality, glowering angrily over Unga Khan’s aggression and ringingly declaring his faith in Poseidon. The most refined and assured performance in the serial, however, comes from C. Montague Shaw as Professor Norton. Shaw is calm, dignified, and authoritative as the pre-transformation Norton and whining, crafty, and obsequious as the transformed Professor. His evil chuckling when he’s decoyed Crash into a trap is memorable, and his simple but startling transition back to his previous manner when his mind is restored is excellent.
Smiley Burnette and Frankie Marvin, accompanied by a parrot named Sinbad, are the serial’s designated comic relief, but aren’t given anything amusing in the way of material. Fortunately, they make only a few token appearances throughout the serial. A scrutiny of their scenes shows that their characters were inserted in post-production, apparently to pad out a few chapters’ running time; they never interact with any of the other principals and are never referred to by them (except in one obviously-looped scene). Jack Mulhall and Lloyd Whitlock play naval officers in the first and final chapters, and John Bradford overacts wildly as Joe, Norton’s hysterical assistant who goes berserk at the prospect of descending to the ocean depths. George DeNormand doubles for Ray Corrigan in the action scenes and plays various Atlantean guards, along with fellow stuntmen Eddie Parker, Tom Steele, and Bill Yrigoyen.
Undersea Kingdom, while not as slick as later Republics or as colorful as its contemporary Flash Gordon, is a definite step up from Mascot predecessors like Phantom Empire when it comes to production values and smoothness of plotting. The serial belongs to a developmental stage in Republic Pictures’ history, but is no less appealing because of that; while few fans or critics (this author among them) would rate it as one of Republic’s best serials, it usually holds a warm spot in their esteem.

Dozens of handicaped people invaded the YPFB (national oil & gas company) compound in Santa Cruz, threatening to blow up 3 gas bottles in case of expulsion. In the morning of Aug. 12, clashes with the company's workers left various hurt on both sides, but the handicapped managed to stay.
Here, under the improvised tent that protect them from the rain and the sun, a young man is telling me his story while his wife is playing with one of their 2 young kids. A couple of years ago, he lost both arms and legs after being attacked and left on a railway track. Unable to find a job since then, his only resource is to beg at a traffic light.

Although it was rumoured by the automotive press since the announcement of the production R8 in 2006, it was only in August 2008 that spy shots of a convertible R8 'Spider' from filming scenes of the movie Iron Man 2 were published online, which included a "soft-top" roof is clearly visible, and the unique sideblade has been removed.[22] The vehicle was unveiled in 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. Compared with the coupé model, the convertible has extra chassis support, a pair of roll-over safety bars, as well as minor changes such as the location of the fuel tank filler. It is powered by a 5.2 FSI V10 engine.
On July 1, 2010 Autocar reported that Audi has added the 4.2 FSI V8 engine to the R8 Spyder range. The 434 PS (319 kW; 428 bhp) (up 14 bhp on coupé), 430 newton metres (317 ft·lbf) unit now completes the R8 Spyder range alongside the launch V10 powerplant. It has a 0-62 mph (0–100 km/h) time of 4.8sec and will go on to reach a top speed of 185 mph (299 km/h). The engine is available with Audi's R tronic sequential manual gearbox. Like the V10 model, the V8 Spyder features an aluminium spaceframe with carbon composites and an automatic retractable folding cloth roof. The Spyder is making its North American Debut at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show.

On Thanksgiving night we all went to Opportunity Village's Magical Forest. It was really cold, but we had a great time, it's a walk through Holiday light display, local business sponsor trees and displays and the proceeds benefit Opportunity Village. There are rides for the kids and hot cocoa to warm you up! We really enjoyed it!

You pick up this working girl who's hooked on smack, who hussles and scores. "That's all I do" she says,
"Ten bucks for head, fifteen for half-and-half". She says "Three hits a day at 35 per", you say "that's seven tricks a day at least", but she says "sometimes I get lucky. Once this guy gives me a bill-and-half just to eat me, only time I ever came".
You figure you can save her.
You sell your color TV, that keeps her off the streets a whole day. You hawk your typewriter for one job. Then your shotgun, your watch. A week later you say "Listen I'm a little short", but she says "No scratch, no snatch". You say "Look it is better to give", but she says "Beat off creep". One night they spot you on the street in your skibbies, trying to sell your shoes. You tell them who you are, but they nail you. Then she happens by and she says " Christ, you look fucked",
she says "Hang tough!". But you don't say anything, you just think "what a bum rap for a nice, sensitive guy like me".

Security guards at the front entrance to the New York Stock Exchange at 11 Wall Street, Manhattan, New York City, in October 2004. After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the NYSE building is well protected. Not only is the entrance guarded 24/7, it is surrounded by an iron fence and concrete barriers (the planters), AND there was a big pickup truck parked across the entrance to Wall Street here, and since Wall Street is so narrow, it blocked all vehicular traffic on the street.
MORE INFORMATION OF THE NYSE:
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), nicknamed the "Big Board", is a New York City-based stock exchange. It is the largest stock exchange in the world by dollar volume and, with 2,764 listed securities, has the second most securities of all stock exchanges. Its share volume was exceeded by that of NASDAQ during the 1990s. As of December 31, 2006, the combined capitalization of all New York Stock Exchange listed companies was $25.0 trillion.
The NYSE is operated by NYSE Euronext, which was formed by its merger with the fully electronic stock exchange Archipelago Holdings and Euronext. The New York Stock Exchange trading floor is located at 11 Wall Street, and is composed of four rooms used for the facilitation of trading. The main building, located at 18 Broad Street between the corners of Wall Street and Exchange Place, was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978.
The origin of the NYSE can be traced to May 17, 1792, when the Buttonwood Agreement was signed by twenty-four stock brokers outside of 68 Wall Street in New York under a buttonwood tree. On March 8, 1817, the organization drafted a constitution and renamed itself the "New York Stock & Exchange Board". (This name was shortened to its current form in 1863.) Anthony Stockholm was elected the Exchange's first president.In 1922, a building designed by Trowbridge & Livingston was added at 11 Broad Street for offices, and a new trading floor called "the garage". Additional trading floor space was added in 1969 and 1988 (the "blue room") with the latest technology for information display and communication.

Arara-azul-grande (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus) é uma ave da família Psittacidae, originalmente encontrada nas matas brasileiras.
Possui uma plumagem azul com um anel amarelo em torno dos olhos, e fita da mesma cor na base da mandíbula. Seu bico é desmesurado parecendo ser maior que o próprio crânio. Sua alimentação, enquanto vivendo livremente, consiste em sementes, frutas, insetos e até de pequenos vertebrados.
Essa arara torna-se madura para a reprodução aos 3 anos e sua época reprodutiva ocorre entre janeiro e novembro. Nascem 2 filhotes por vez e a encubação dura cerca de 30 dias. Depois que nascem, as araras-azuis ficam cerca de três meses e meio no ninho, sob o cuidado dos pais, até se aventurarem no primeiro vôo. A convivência familiar dura até um ano e meio de idade, quando os filhotes começam a se separar gradativamente dos pais.
Pode ser encontrada no Complexo do Pantanal onde projetos de preservação garantiram no ano de 2001 uma população de 3.000 exemplares. Essa ave está atualmente ameaçada de extinção, sendo as principais causas a caça, o comércio clandestino, no qual as aves são capturadas enquanto filhotes, ainda no ninho e a degradação em seu habitat natural através da destruição atrópica. Sua distribuição geográfica é no Brasil. Sua distribuição geográfica no Brasil é nos estados de: Amapá, Amazonas, Bahia, Paraíba, Goiás, Maranhão, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul, Mato Grosso, Pará, Piauí, Paraná, Santa Catarina, São Paulo e Tocantins.
I was looking through the code of my v.15 install, and found this unexpected--and highly amusing--code.
View Larger This a stitch of two shots i took from where a demolished Hogan Stand once stood.
The cusack Stand had been fully completed(1996) The Canal end(Davin Stand) was well on its way to completion.
This part of the project was the most complex as it involved working over the railway and culverting the Royal Canal over a distance of 140 metres.
Work on the new Hogan Stand began a few weeks after this picture was taken.

Look carefully and you can see there's a white deer and a brown deer together in this shot. It's hard to see the brown one! I liked this shot because it shows one of the abandoned roads in the Seneca Army Depot - there's hundreds of miles of roads in this place - and a herd of white deer, protected by a large chain-link fence.
On an decommissioned army depot near us, there's a herd of white white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). They're not albino, but rather an uncommon mutation that makes them white. The county wants to develop the land, but a group of local citizens has started a campaign to save the deer and turn the area into a conservation park.
The Depot is closed to the public, but it's not unusual to see the white deer through the chain-link fence. Yesterday morning we went on a tour offered by the citizens' group (Seneca White Deer, Inc.) and got to see them up close from a schoolbus.
More to come!
I don't know the name of this plant. In the base it seems an Aloe or Agave, and the flowers are in a long an d branched stem that it emerges from the center of the plant. Finally identified as Phormiun tenax (or P. cookianum) thanks to hortulus.
No conozco el nombre de esta planta. En la base parece un Aloe o un Agave, y las flores están en un tallo largo ramificado que sale del centro de la planta. Finalmente identificada como Phormiun tenax (o P. cookianum) gracias a hortulus.
ENGLISH
New Zealand flax describes common New Zealand perennial plants Phormium tenax and Phormium cookianum, known by the Māori names harakeke and wharariki respectively. They are quite distinct from the Northern Hemisphere plant known as flax (Linum usitatissimum), but the genus was given the common name 'flax' by Anglophone Europeans as it too could be used for its fibres.
New Zealand flax produces long leaf fibres that have played an important role in the culture, history, and economy of New Zealand. Phormium tenax occurs naturally in New Zealand and Norfolk Island, while Phormium cookianum is endemic to New Zealand. Both species have been widely distributed to temperate regions of the world as economic fibre and ornamental plants.
The naturalist Jacques Labillardière collected indigenous flax plants when French ships visited the far north of the North Island of New Zealand in 1793. He had noted the many uses the Māori had put to the plant and in 1803 gave it the scientific name Phormium, meaning "basket" or "wickerwork", and tenax meaning "tenacity" or "holding fast".
Phormium tenax is found mainly in swamps or low lying areas but will grow just about anywhere and is also much propagated in gardens as an evergreen decorative plant, both in New Zealand and now worldwide. Phormium tenax is an herbaceous perennial monocot. Monocot classification has undergone significant revision in the past decade, and recent classification systems (including the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group) have found Phormium tenax to be closely related to daylilies (Hemerocallis). Phormium tenax formerly belonged to the family Agavaceae and many classification systems still place it there.

El lino de Nueva Zelanda es el nombre común de las plantas perennes de Nueva Zelanda Phormium tenax y Phormium cookianum, conocidas en idioma maorí como harakeke y wharariki respectivamente. Son bien distintas de la sp. del Hemisferio norte lino (Linum sp.).
El lino de Nueva Zelanda produce fibras largas que han sido muy importantes en la cultura, historia, y la economía de Nueva Zelanda. Phormium tenax es nativa de Nueva Zelanda y de la Isla Norfolk, mientras que Phormium cookianum es endémica de Nueva Zelanda. Ambas especies están ampliamente distribuidas en regiones templadas del mundo como fibra comercial y planta ornamental.
Phormium tenax se encuentra en pantanos y áreas bajas, pero crece en cualquier lugar y aparece mucho propagada en jardines como planta decorativa siempreverde, en Nueva Zelanda y luego mundialmente.
Phormium tenax es una herbácea perenne monocots. La clasificación Monocot ha tenido significativa revisión en la pasada década, y recientes sistemas de clasificación (incluyendo el APG) encontró que Phormium tenax está estrechamente emparentada con los lirios Hemerocallis. Phormium tenax sigue en la familia Agavaceae y continúa en muchos sistemas de clasificación.

From www.collingsfoundation.org:
The B-17G (Serial # 44-83575) has been returned to its wartime configuration under the auspices of the nonprofit Collings Foundation of Stow, MA and given the name "Nine-O-Nine".
The Collings Flying Fortress was built at Long Beach, CA by the Douglas Aircraft Company and accepted on April 7, 1945. Although she was too late for combat, #44-83575 did serve as part of the Air/Sea 1st Rescue Squadron and later in the Military Air Transport Service.
In April 1952, #44-83575 was instrumented and subjected to the effects of three different nuclear explosions. After a thirteen-year "cool down" period, #44-83575 was sold as part of an 800-ton scrap pile and Aircraft Specialties Company began the restoration of the aircraft.
Damaged skin was fabricated and replaced on site; engines and props were stripped, cleaned, repaired, and tested; four thousand feet of new control cable was installed; all electrical wiring and instrumentation was replaced. As she neared completion, the jeers and laughter of those who said she would never fly again faded as the sounds of four 1200 HP Wright-Cyclone engines echoed across the desert and "Yucca Lady" rose as the phoenix and climbed into the sky.
For twenty years, without a major problem or incident, #44-83575 served as a fire bomber dropping water and borate on forest fires. She was sold in January 1986 to the Collings Foundation. Restored back to her original wartime configuration by Tom Reilly Vintage Aircraft, she represented one of the finest B-17 restorations and won several awards.
The Collings Foundation B-17 was named "Nine-O-Nine" in honor of a 91st Bomb Group, 323rd Squadron plane of the same name which completed 140 missions without an abort or loss of a crewman.
