Rupit, Barcelona (Spain).
ENGLISH
Rupit and Pruit (in Catalan Rupit i Pruit) are a municipality of the region of Osona located to the northeast of the region and the east of the Sierra de Cabrera. It is integrated by two urban nuclei: Rupit and Pruit, that they were independent until year 1980. It is the last town of the province of Barcelona in the highway that unites the municipalities of Vic, capital of the region of Osona and Olot, capital of the region of the Garrotxa (Girona).
The origin of the town we found in the castle that was constructed around year 1000, replacing the one of Fàbregues, where they went constructing houses around.
In 14th century the population underwent a reduction but it recovered, arriving in 17th and 18th centuries at the maximum splendor that has never had the town. The church was possibly built between 13th and 14th centuries, and it was dedicated to San Miguel Arcángel.
Pruit already names in year 955, when it belonged to viscounts of Osona. Always there is been united to the castle and jurisdiction of Rupit.

One of the wanderflechten, or vagrant lichens, which curls when dry and may blow around like tumbleweed. Moisture causes it to uncurl to facilitate photosynthesis . The upper surface of the branches is dark, while the lower surface features "whitish pruinose patches without a cortex, and functionally equivalent to pseudochyphellae" as described by Brodo.

www.cpbr.gov.au/lichen/ecology-vagrants.html - "The great majority of lichens grow attached to substrates of some sort but many are able to continue growing if they become unattached. There is also a small number of species which never grow attached to any substrate. These are often referred to as vagrant lichens and I will use the word in that sense on this website. Species that normally grow attached but that are able to survive unattached are often referred to as erratic lichens, but be aware that some authors use the word erratic to include the vagrant species as well and then describe those species as obligatorily erratic. English words such as vagrant and vague are derived from Latin words built on the root VAG, conveying the sense of 'wandering'. In several other languages these lichens are known by names that are easy for an English speaker to understand. Thus they may be lichens vagabondes (French), licheni vaganti (Italian), líquenes migratorios, líquenes vagantes (both Spanish) or Wanderflechten (German). The last is easy to comprehend once you know that Flechten is the German word for lichens."

sono ritornati finalmente in Sicilia i 16 splendidi oggetti di argento dorato conosciuti come "Gli argenti di Morgantina" risalenti al III secolo A.C. -
furono trafugati dai tombaroli intorno al 1980 dalla lussuosa casa di Eupolemos a Morgantina, una antica città siculo greca, sito archeologico nel comune di Aidone (EN) in Sicilia - successivamente furono venduti da un trafficante d’arte al Metropolitan Museum of Art di New York e sulla base di una accordo con il Ministero dei Beni Culturali sono stati da poco restituiti alla Regione Sicilia e si possono ora ammirare in un bella mostra al Museo Archeologico Salinas di Palermo

Con sus dos largos brazos de hilo la verde Eutreptia se abre paso en los caminos del agua, a veces despejados como un cielo limpio y en otras ocasiones salpìcados de diminutos viajeros como ella que buscan para vivir una pequeña ventana a la luz del sol.
Eutreptia es un flagelado primo hermano de Euglena, que adopta forma de cometa cuando puede nadar libre en la inmensidad de cualquier gota de agua, su prolongada cola estabiliza la tortuosa navegación que le imponen sus dos largos flagelos y de este modo, avanza sin contratiempos enhebrando su silueta de pez entre las corrientes de agua.
El interior de Eutreptia está cargado de pequeños cloroplastos discoidales que apenas tienen espacio para moverse dentro de su cuerpo y que no caben en la estrecha cola-timón de este flagelado viajero. Eutreptia está vestida con una fina y plástica membrana transparente elegantemente adornada por unas delicadísimas estrías paralelas casi invisibles. Esta película que recubre su cuerpo como una ajustada camisa, igual que la de algunas especies de Euglena, Distigma o Astasia permite el cambio de forma y la completa transformación de sus aspecto.
Los dos largos flagelos de Eutreptia ondulan y parecen trenzarse para deshacerse después en sus movimientos rizados, pero cuando tropiezan con algún obstáculo como marañas de algas o redes de diatomeas, se desacompasan al mismo tiempo que Eutreptia se altera y sus contornos de comenta se revuelven hasta transformarse mágicamente en los de un globo.
Eutreptia, como Euglena, es ser misterioso de vida animal y vegetal al mismo tiempo, una pequeña mancha ocular de color rojizo constituye su ojo de cíclope que sólo ve la luz
La especie que mostramos hoy, probablemente Eutreptia viridis puede vivir en aguas dulces, como éstas de las que procede y es capaz de soportar una notable carga de materia orgánica. Se trata de un hallazgo singular, del que no tenemos constancia de citas precedentes en la Península Ibérica - las únicas conocidas del continente europeo proceden de Gran Bretaña y Rumanía - y tan solo se ha constatado su presencia en otros continentes a partir de tres citas, una en Brasil, otra en China y la tercera de Australia.
Eutreptia ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos con la técncia de contraste de interferencia a partir de una muestra recogida a 3 metros de profundidad en el Lago de Sanabria (Zamora), desde el catamarán Helios Sanabria el primer catamarán construido en el Planeta propulsado por energía eólica y solar.
Intha weaver at work in a village on Lake Inle.
The Intha
The dominant ethnicity of Lake Inle are the Intha, meaning sons of the lake. They are thought to have arrived from the Tavoy region of Southern Burma many centuries ago, and are linguistically related to the Bamar group. Today they speak an antiquated Burmese and are Buddhist.
The Intha live in bamboo houses built over the water on stilts and grow vegetables and fruit hydroponically on floating gardens that rise and fall with the tidesthus giving rise to the perception of 'floating villages'. The fertile water ensures an abundant harvest which get sold on 'floating markets' where goods are traded from one boat to another. The itinerary follows a five day cycle, rotating between the five larger villages on Lake Inle.
Most transport is by flat bottom canoes, propelled by a particular rowing style where the rower stands on one leg on the flattened stern of the canoe and wrapping the other around a long oar. The standing rowing method evolved to enable rowers to see over the tall reeds. Nevertheless the women row seated, eventhough they are equally adept at the standing style.
The Intha are best known for their unique fishing method, which is an extension of the rowing style, using a cone shaped bamboo framed wrapped with a fishing net, which is lowered to the bottom of the shallow Lake Inle with one hand and one foot. A bamboo stake is then driven into the net to agitate the water and drive the fish up. The net is then closed and the entire contraption is raised from the water.
The Intha should also be noted as weavers, producing the lotus cloth unique to the area, and worn by monks as ceremonial robes. They are best known however for creating traditional distinctive cotton cloth, the Inle Longyi. The patterns were originally Cambodian inspired, but now also drive from Thai and Indonesian influences. Silk brought in from China and Thailand are also used for more luxurious textiles, which are sold to tourists.
Lake Inle
Lake Inle is a freshwater lake of around 115square kilometers in Myanmar's Shan State located at an altitude of 880 meters. The lake is very shallow reaching no more than 2 or 3 meters depending on the season.
The lake is a tourist attraction for its images of the fishermen and their flat bottom canoes on mirror still water, as well as the the floating villages and markets. Time of course never stands still, and larger motor powered boats have made their way onto the lake, mainly as tourist transport, causing wakes that never existed before, while the market increasingly caters for tourist souvenirs. However given the political situation, tourism is still limited in Myanmar, but a number of very high quality lodges have sprung up along the lake shores.
Shan State
Shan State forms Myanmar's border with China, Laos and Thailand, and encompasses a quarter of Myanmar's total territory. Shan State derives its name from the local Shan people, who live largely rural lifestyles.
From the 1948 Myanmar independence, Chinese state and ethnic activity has increased, as have armed rebellions fueled by the emergence of war lords, who developed Shan State into a major opium growing area. Accordingly, the state is better known as the Golden Triangle or Shwe-Tri Gan and to this day, Myanmar is the world's second largest opium producer after Afghanistan, whilst the local people growing poppy continue to live below the poverty line. Heroin base is mostly produced within Myanmar and then transported by donkey across the mountainous Thailand border for conversion to heroin and transport to Bangkok and wider trafficking.
The heavily armed insurgence groups, including the 20,000 strong United Wa State Army (UWSA) that represent an undefined independent Wa State which would enclose Shan State, still render the zone unstable. The Wa people openly use the Yuan as currency, as opposed to the Myanmar Kyat, and in 2008 parts of Shan State were ceded autonomy.
Myanmar
Burma, or Myanmar as it has been renamed by the military dictatorship, derives its name from the Burmese word Bamar, which is pronounced 'Bama', and became 'Burma' in the colonial days. However in old Burmese it is pronounced Mranma or Myanmah, thus giving rise to Myanmar. The renaming remains the subject of debate, where the UN refers to 'Myanmar', the US, UK and France still refer to 'Burma', and yet the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal refer to 'Myanmar'. We've followed the UN and used current naming throughout this collection of photos, however with the alternatives included in the tags.

I've said this before but this summer here in Mississauga has gotta be the Red Admiral summer..I see these beauties everywhere I go..so many of them..around..Too beautiful NOT to photograph again and again and again lol :) Hope you aren't bored with seeing them..I'm not bored shooting them yet lol sorries.
"The red admiral butterfly belongs to the vanessid group of butterflies. They are among the largest and most colorful butterflies that inhabit the northern temperate regions of the world. Vanessa butterflies are found throughout much of the world. Besides the red admiral butterfly, this group includes the tortoiseshell, painted lady, peacock, Camberwell beauty, and comma butterflies."
"This large butterfly is identified by its striking dark brown, red and black wing pattern. More specifically, the dark wings possess orange bands that cross the fore wings and on the outer edge of the hind wings; white spots on the dorsal fore wings near the front margin; reddish bars on dorsal surface of all four wings."
"The common name "Red Admiral" compares this band to the chevrons on a naval uniform."
ENJOY!! :) Best viewed LARGE
Yes, I know I was in Marrakech and not in Casablanca, but how many people are there who don't think of Casablanca when they think of Morocco?
One of the things that I simply did not expect in Morocco was just how people react to having their photos taken. As I've learned since returning to the States, its a common occurrence in Africa for a photographer to have to pay to take a photo. Some sources claim this is because people there are under the impression that we photographers will just try to commercialize their face while other sources say it's a more spiritual thing and has something to do with their souls.
Regardless of the reason, I wasn't really up for paying for photos and I didn't want to play the classic Douchebag With a Camera game, so I decided it'd be a good opportunity to practice shooting from the hip. It wasn't easy, but it was certainly a lot of fun trying, especially since I was using a zoom lens and tried my hand at choosing focal length blind as well. Admittedly, I spent most of the time around 35mm since I know exactly what to expect there.
As with the last photograph from Morocco that I posted, this one was taken in the Djemaa el Fna medina of Marrakech.

i redid my room!
on saturday julia came over and we cleaned my room. let me tell you, my room was a MESS. it took us six hours. by the end i had countless bags filled with papers and just general shit that used to sit on the floor in my room. then i had one massive garbage bag full of clothes (now my dresser drawers can actually open and close! yes!) and one garbage bag full of "accessories". these bags came in the mail from the lupus foundation, so they just got a ton of stuff from my room.... the only thing i don't understand is why having lupus makes you need clothes and stuff? but i guess they are for poor people with lupus. also, the whole time i was thinking of house. and how it's never lupus... i also gave away a TON of books. an entire shelf full, actually. so about a quarter of all the books i own. which is a lot.
then we painted blackboard paint onto my wall. and then we painted a silver "picture frame" around it. but it's kind of just a wavy silver blob. that was extremely fun. and now a have a chalk board on my wall! theeennnnnnn we put up all sorts of pictures and magazine stuff and artwork.
and then today i bought a PAPASAN CHAIR. i didn't know that was the name for it until today, but it was kind of an impulse buy and i'm incredibly happy. lol. i also moved my bed.
so i accomplished a lot in the past few days. actually, i've pretty much done everything on my todo list EXCEPT finish any of my summer reading/homework. so now my chalk board is a very not fun list of stuff i need to do.
i'm reading pride and prejudice in the picture, but i'm really only up to chapter 18 in the sparknotes. lol. i'm going to hell. i still need to read the picture of dorian gray, some book about john mccain's 2000 campaign, do my ap bio homework, study for the ACT, and work on my college essays. fml.
AND SCHOOL STARTS ON WEDNESDAY :(

Anisonema se mueve y deja atrás su larga cola, mientras avanza serenamente tirado por un carro que no existe. Son dos los flagelos de este protozoo, que nacen juntos para marcar sentidos opuestos. Anisonema es un primo de las Euglenas, primo blanco y dorado, que prescinde de la energía del sol y que tiene que buscarse la vida entre las algas y los restos vegetales en los que encuentra el sustento.
En Anisonema el flagelo que se dirige hacia adelante es el que ejerce la fuerza motora y el que explora, mientras que el que rezagado se deja arrastrar, gobierna la nave con rumbo seguro. Es un movimiento silencioso y estable que nace del equilibrio entre la acción y la pasividad, el dirigirse hacia adelante y el de señalar lo ya navegado.
El cuerpo de Anisonema es algo rígido, pero también flexible, no tiene la plasticidad de otros familiares casi contorsionistas como Distigma o Peranema, pero es capaz de encontrar la salida entre los túneles de restos orgánicos de hojas y tallos que tapizan el lecho de los ríos en los que vive. Hoy nos encontramos con un personaje infrecuente, Anisonema ¿?. Nos ha visitado ya en alguna ocasión , Anisonema acinus, de menor talla y con interior casi de transparencia de agua, el que se muestra aquí, desconocido para nosotros, se mueve igual que aquel y conserva algunos rasgos de su identidad todavía no bien conocida y por eso misteriosa.
El Anisonema de hoy, flagelado de hilos desiguales, procede de unas muestras recogidas en un pequeño regato de aguas limpias junto a la localidad alistana de Samir de los Caños, en la provincia de Zamora, y ha sido fotografiado a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

"I never found my wonderland,
I never fell through the looking glass.
In the mirror, all I see are vacant eyes,
past longing for a safe abode,
simply hoping for better than this.
this colorless wasteland I'm mired in.
tired of being burnt by this consuming flame,
I just want out. out. out."

Mentre Prometeo giaceva incatenato alla montagna e subiva il castigo dell'aquila, Zeus meditava una punizione anche per gli uomini che Prometeo così stoltamente aveva aiutato.
Chiese a suo figlio Efesto di costruire un essere ad immagine e somiglianza delle dee olimpiche, da regalare agli uomini.
Venne così creata la donna, che tutti gli dei coprirono di regali: Afrodite le donò la bellezza, Hermes la curiosità, Era la capacità di generare figli agli uomini e così via. Per questo Zeus la chiamò Pandora, ovvero "Tutti i doni" e le donò uno strano vaso chiuso, proibendole di aprirlo.
Pandora venne portata al cospetto di Epimeteo -titano fratello di Prometeo- da Hermes, che la presentò come un dono di Zeus Olimpo agli uomini. Epimeteo subito se ne innamorò e la prese in sposa.
Passarono gli anni e Pandora era sempre morsa dalla curiosità di sapere che cosa Zeus avesse riposto dentro quel vaso così ben chiuso. Spesso lo prendeva in mano ma poi lo posava, seppur a malincuore, ricordando i consigli del Re degli Dei.
Un giorno Pandora prese il vaso, corrosa da una curiosità isterica, e forzò il coperchio con forza. Di colpo si staccò e il vaso si illuminò: venne percorso da un tremolìo e con un grido, Pandora lo allontanò dal suo viso. Cominciò ad uscire un fumo acre e denso, accompagnato da un terrificante rombo di tuono. Tra le volute nere come l'abisso si intravedevano facce sfigurate e urlanti: erano tutti i mali del mondo che Zeus aveva rinchiuso nel vaso affinchè non colpissero gli uomini. Un castigo terribile ma Zeus, nella sua lungimiranza, aveva chiuso nel vaso anche la Speranza, che da quel momento dà coraggio e forza all'uomo e gli permette di affrontare i mali della vita.

Cuesta no pensar que la cantidad de filtraciones e información alrededor de la próxima película de Star Wars no le esté viniendo bien a Disney tras la controvertida compra de los estudios LucasArts por parte de este gigante y el anuncio a los pocos días de que se ponía en marcha el proyecto para tener más Star Wars de la mano de Disney.
Queda todavía más de un año para que llegue, pero la expectación es máxima alrededor de todo lo que tiene que ver con Star Wars Episodio 7. Aquí te dejamos con lo principal que se conoce hasta ahora para que vayas abriendo boca.
La historia
Lógicamente, la historia es el secreto mejor guardado de la nueva entrega de Star Wars. Lo único que se conoce con certeza es el momento temporal en que transcurrirá la película: 30 años después de los acontecimientos del episodio anterior, “El Retorno del Jedi”.
Ya entrando en el terreno de los rumores y especulaciones, el inicio de la película estaría protagonizado por una mano, concretamente la de Luke Skywalker, flotando por el espacio sujetando su sable láser.
Al encontrarla en un desierto, los protagonistas de la nueva entrega (se habla de un trío que incluye a un adolescente o niño), ayudados por Han Solo y Chewbacca, iniciarían la búsqueda de Luke, del que nadie sabe nada desde hace 30 años. ¿Adivináis donde estaba? Justo, cautivo por los nuevos malos de la película.
De los pocos detalles con interés que ha dejado caer Abrams sobre el Episodio VI está el uso de menos efectos especiales generados por ordenador, no al menos al nivel de los primeros tres episodios (tras la trilogía original).
Lo único seguro sobre la historia de Star Wars Episodio VII es que transcurrirá 30 años después de “El Retorno del Jedi”
Episodio VII, que no tiene todavía título oficial definitivo, empezó a rodarse en mayo de este año en los estudios Pinewood de Londres. Del éxito de esta primera parte de la siguiente trilogía (cada película irá separada de la otra con un spin off de los principales protagonistas) dependerá la acogida de las siguientes, aunque solo con el nombre y la legión de fans y seguidores, el ruido está garantizado.
El director y equipo técnico
Tener entre las manos las nuevas entregas de Star Wars no es tarea sencilla. La especulación con los posibles directores de los tres siguientes episodios de la saga galáctica se cortó con el anuncio de que J.J. Abrams (responsable de Star Trek o Misión Imposible II y muy prolífico en televisión) sería el director de la orquesta de responsables que Disney iba a poner delante de este esperado retorno de la famosa saga galáctica.
El propio Adams junto con Lawrence Kasdan (responsable El Retorno del Jedi y El Imperio Contraataca) será el guionista (tras un paso en falso con Michael Arndt) de esta producción que cuenta con otros importantes nombres detrás de los apartados de producción, como Tommy Harper, Jack Ryan o Jason McGatlin, todos ellos con mucha experiencia en grandes superproducciones.
Star Wars Episodio VII se rodará en 35 mm, una decisión de su director de fotografía, Dan Mindel. El diseñador de vestuario será otro conocido: Michael Kaplan.
De la música, parte para mi fundamental e histórica de los primeros episodios, se ha conseguido que se encargue el maestro jedi con batura que es John Williams.
El reparto
Tras decidir el director y parte del equipo técnico, el reparto generó bastantes especulaciones hasta que se produjo el anuncio oficial. Con Han Solo apareciendo en el desarrollo del argumento de la nueva entrega, era lógico que por allí apareciera Harrison Ford.
Que el grueso del reparto original vaya a tener presencia en el Episodio VII es un claro guiño a los seguidores y una atracción más para acudir a ver la película
El Han Solo de más de 70 años estará acompañado por los otros dos actores principales de las películas originales: Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) y Carrie Fisher (Princesa Leia). Y no faltarán Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) o los entrañables actores Anthony Daniels y Kenny Baker en sus papeles de C-3PO y RD-D2 respectivamente. Esta vuelta al pasado es sin duda un seguro que Disney ata para tener el apoyo, el menos moral, de parte de los fans de la saga original.
Entre las nuevas caras, hay tanto veteranos como rostros conocidos del cine y la televisión de los últimos años. Como protagonistas principales tendremos a los actores John Boyega y Daisy Ridley, que compartirán aventuras con, entre otros, Adam Driver, Lupita Nyongo, Oscar Isaac, Max von Sydow y Andy Serkis.
La “famosa” foto con la que se anunció el reparto principal de Star Wars Episodio VII
La anécdota relacionada con el reparto e inicio de la grabación tiene a Ford como protagonista. Un mes después de iniciarse el rodaje en mayo de este año, Harrison Ford se rompió un tobillo, cosas del destino, con una puerta de su Halcón Milenario. La grabación tuvo de detenerse y esta misma semana se ha reanudado el trabajo el ritmo habitual, que tendrá lugar en localizaciones de Islandia y Emiratos Árabes además del Reino Unido.
Fecha del estreno
Llevamos ya un largo periplo alrededor de Star Wars Episodio 7, pero todavía nos queda un buen trecho por recorrer.
La fecha de estreno anunciada, el 18 de diciembre de 2015, se va a mantener pese a que estuvo en teoría en peligro por el accidente de un Ford que parece mayor para luchar en esta guerra.

A more succinct version ran on Seattlest.
This building has housed many sad stories, but has a sign of hope.
It's at the corner of McClellan and Martin Luther King Way Jr. South in Seattle.
Here was my methodology: I went to King County Parcel Viewer to get the address for the building, and then searched the web and Seattle Times archives for that address and next door. I took names that came out and searched in the Washington State Digital Archives for dates of birth, marriage, and death; as well as spouses, parents and children. Then I took those dates and names and went back to Seattle Times to see if I could find more.
In 1905 Oheda Kulnujia came to America with her family from Turkey, joining an uncle who had been in Seattle since before the Yukon gold rush. In 1922 she married John Arten, who himself had arrived in the US in 1909 from Turkey or Armenia.
in 1927 John paid to have this building constructed at the corner of McClellan and then-Empire Way. It had easy access to streetcars and the Renton interurban just a block away on Rainier. And, it was located on a new road which was carrying more auto traffic every year. It was the boom time of the 1920s. Oheda gave birth to a daughter, Mary, in 1925. John paid $2200 for the building, and it had space for his shoe repair business in front and for his family to live in the back. (9/29/1927 ST p29)
In 1941 Mary was almost done in by all that auto traffic. The car she was in was struck by another car in a bad accident. But she made it through. In 1950 she was wed for a brief year, long enough to give birth to a daughter, also named Mary. Both kept the name Medzegian.
At the time of our old photograph, 1957, Mary was running a "snack bar" restaurant in half of the retail space. The boisterousness of the signs shows how well the family was doing.
Oheda passed away in 1964 (5/18/1964 ST p39). It's unclear of the exact cause, but both businesses were closed in 1967 and the equipment sold off. Perhaps as the younger Mary graduated high school her mother moved on? (ST classifieds February and March 1967)
And maybe John was no longer able to run his business. He died at the end of 1969. (12/15/1969 ST p45).
Mary -- or perhaps renters? -- lost her poodle "Taffy" in 1970 (2/18/1970 ST classfied)
The elder Mary owned the building until 2002, and passed away in 2004
The building was gutted by fire in 2007.
But just as it seems the story is petering out in sadness, two bright spots.
Good samaratins saved two people from the fire.
And now, a sign of hope in the fight against cancer graces the building.

ENGLISH
Prayer flags are colorful panels or rectangular cloths often found strung along mountain ridges and peaks high in the Himalayas to bless the surrounding countryside or for other purposes. Unknown in other branches of Buddhism, prayer flags are believed to have originated with Bön, which predated Buddhism in Tibet. Traditionally they are woodblock-printed with texts and images.
The Indian Buddhist Sutras, written on cloth in India, were transmitted to other regions of the world. These sutras, written on banners, were the origin of prayer flags. Legend ascribes the origin of the prayer flag to the Shakyamuni Buddha, whose prayers were written on battle flags used by the devas against their adversaries, the asuras. The legend may have given the Indian bhikku a reason for carrying the 'heavenly' banner as a way of signifying his commitment to ahimsa. This knowledge was carried into Tibet by 800 CE, and the actual flags were introduced no later than 1040 CE, where they were further modified. The Indian monk Atisha (980-1054 CE) introduced the Indian practice of printing on cloth prayer flags to Tibet.
Lung Ta (meaning "Wind Horse") horizontal prayer flags are of square or rectangular shape and are connected along their top edges to a long string or thread. They are commonly hung on a diagonal line from high to low between two objects (e.g., a rock and the top of a pole) in high places such as the tops of temples, monasteries, stupas or mountain passes.
Traditionally, prayer flags come in sets of five, one in each of five colors. The five colors represent the elements, and the Five Pure Lights and are arranged from left to right in a specific order. Different elements are associated with different colors for specific traditions, purposes and sadhana:
- Blue (symbolizing sky/space)
- White (symbolizing air/wind)
- Red (symbolizing fire)
- Green (symbolizing water)
- Yellow (symbolizing earth)

Las banderas de oración son coloridos paneles o paños rectangulares a menudo encadenados a lo largo de las crestas y de los picos de las montañas en el Himalaya para bendecir el terreno circundante o para otros propósitos. Desconocido en otras ramas del Budismo, se cree que las banderas de oración se originaron con Bön, que precedió el Budismo en el Tíbet. Tradicionalmente los textos y las imágenes son impresiones con plancha.
El Sutras budista indio, escrito en el paño en la India, fue transmitido a otras regiones del mundo. Estos sutras, escritos en banderas, eran el origen de las banderas de oración. La leyenda atribuye el origen de la bandera del rezo al Buda Shakyamuni, cuyos rezos fueron escritos en las banderas de batalla usadas por los devas contra sus adversarios, los asuras. La leyenda pudo haber dado al bhikku indio una razón para llevar la bandera “divina” como manera de significar su compromiso al ahimsa. Este conocimiento fue llevado en Tíbet por el año 800 DC, y las banderas reales fueron introducidas antes del 1040 DC, donde fueron modificadas más a fondo. El monje indio Atisha (980-1054) introdujo en el Tíbet la práctica india de la impresión en banderas de oración.
Las banderas horizontales de oración Lung Ta (significa “caballo del viento”) son de forma cuadrada o rectangular y están conectadas a lo largo de sus bordes superiores con una larga cuerda o hilo. Normalmente se cuelgan en una línea diagonal de arriba a abajo entre dos objetos (por ejemplo, de una roca a la punta de un poste) en lugares altos tales como las puntas de templos, de monasterios, de estupas o de pasos de montaña.
Tradicionalmente, las banderas de oración van en grupos de cinco, cada una de uno de cinco colores. Los cinco colores representan los elementos, y las cinco Luces Puras se disponen de izquierda a derecha en un orden específico. Los diversos elementos se asocian a diversos colores para tradiciones, los propósitos y el sadhana específicos:
- Azul (simbolizando cielo/espacio)
- Blanco (simbolizando aire/viento)
- Rojo (simbolizando fuego)
- Verde (simbolizando agua)
- Amarillo (simbolizando tierra)

www.herpfrance.com/reptile/spanish_terrapin_mauremys_lepr...
History and origin
The Spanish Terrapin was first described by Schweigger in 1812, the scientific name of this species is Mauremys leprosa. Mauremys from Greek meaning "Mauritanian" and "Terrapin". Leprosa comes from Greek and means "leprosy" Schweigger first examined old specimens which had infected structures on the scales making him think that the animals were infected with leprosy.
Characteristics
They are one of the larger Mauremys species.
Description
=Size=
Their eggs are about 35 mm by 21 mm in size. The young hatch out measuring around 32 mm long. They will grow up to 250 mm long in their 20 year life.
=Morphology=
Their shell is quite flat, and oval. The edges of the shell are smooth and have no spikes or teeth.
=Patterns & colours=
Their colours range from orange-brown to olive, the young also have small orange or yellow markings on every scale. Their plastron is yellow with a dark patch sometimes with a light line running down the middle. Their head resembles American terrapins with a light pattern running from the neck to the tympan. The young have a bluish back colour on their skin.
Geographical range
In France they are only fond in the southernmost department called the Pyrénées Orientales, and within that range they can only be the Albères region.
Subspecies
In Europe this species has no sub-species. Their sub-species are all found in Morocco, and they are distinguished only by very small morphological variations. These sub-species are: M. l. atlantica, M. l. erhardi, M. l. saharica, M. l. marokkensis, M. l. vanmeerhaeghei, M. l. wernerkaestlei and M. l. zizi.
Sexual differences
None.
Seasonal variations
None.
Diet
They feed on small fish, amphibians, tadpoles and insects. They sometimes feed on reeds and other plants.
Defensive habits
They will dive into the water and hide in the vegetation or in the mud.
Reproduction
Breeding occurs in March or April, this happens under the water. The mating is fast and they do a simple ritual, the male moves around the females head while he also stretches his legs. The females can lay up to 3 clutches a year, the eggs are laid only a few meters away form the water in a dry place. The eggs hatch after approximately 60 days.
Sexual maturity, life span
The average life span for Mauremys leprosa is about 20 years, the males reach their sexual maturity in their seventh year whereas the females are mature in around their tenth year.
Habits
They are very secretive, they enjoy sunbathing on the banks but are always on guard and dive when alerted.
Habitat
They enjoy water holes with a clay floor, usually with a lot vegetation debris. Their habitat is usually stagnant water. They are very tolerant to pollution and may withstand very polluted water.
Predators
Their only threat is loss of habitat.

So I shot all of these photographs today while I was waiting for a friend to take his driving exam. That place was well depressing, ugly, polluted and desolate. Luckily I had my camera with me and I managed to find stuff in the microworld to keep me busy ;-) You can see for yourself how that area looks here: www.flickr.com/photos/iranon/4424306891/in/photostream/ And yeah, the dog is fine ;-)

The Splash i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/03/18/article-0-0089D4B80000...
On 31 July 2004, Sir Tom unveiled the water feature sculpture "The Splash", by sculptor Peter Hodgkinson, which stands outside The National Football Museum. The sculpture was inspired by the 1956 Sports Photograph of the Year which features Tom Finney beating two defenders at a waterlogged Stamford Bridge.
Now aged 89, Finney is one of England's oldest living former international footballers. As of February 2011, he is also one of only three surviving players from England's 1950 World Cup squad. The others are Bert Williams and Roy Bentley.

It's still frozen solid here in North Georgia, so anything green and sunny looks good to me today. Here are more shots from the Italian Garden at Blenheim Palace near Oxford.
We spent a full day here in early July, 2008. Blenheim Palace makes a relatively easy day trip or even half-day trip from Oxford, with frequent public buses to Woodstock stopping right at the gates. We only saw a fraction of the vast parkland and gardens. The tour of the palace itself was well done and very informative.
The full Wikipedia entry is very well done: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blenheim_Palace
Here is a quote from the introduction:
Blenheim Palace is a large and monumental country house situated in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England. It is the only non-episcopal country house in England to hold the title "palace". The Palace, one of England's largest houses, was built between 1705 and circa 1724. It was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.
Its construction was originally intended to be a gift to John Churchill, the 1st Duke of Marlborough from a grateful nation in return for military triumph against the French and Bavarians. However, it soon became the subject of political infighting, which led to Marlborough's exile, the fall from power of his Duchess, and irreparable damage to the reputation of the architect Sir John Vanbrugh. Designed in the rare, and short-lived, English baroque style, architectural appreciation of the palace is as divided today as it was in the 1720s.[1] It is unique in its combined usage as a family home, mausoleum and national monument. The palace is also notable as the birthplace and ancestral home of Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill.
The plaque above the massive East gate gives a sanitised history of the palace's construction, reading:
"Under the auspices of a munificent sovereign this house was built for John Duke of Marlborough and his Duchess Sarah, by Sir J Vanbrugh between the years 1705 and 1722. And the Royal Manor of Woodstock, together with a grant of £240,000 towards the building of Blenheim, was given by Her Majesty Queen Anne and confirmed by act of Parliament."
The truth is that the building of the palace was a minefield of political intrigue, with scheming on a Machiavellian scale by Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough. Following the palace's completion, it has been the home of the Churchill family for the last 300 years, and various members of the family have in that period wrought various changes, in the interiors, park and gardens, some for the better, others for the worse. At the end of the 19th century, the palace and the Churchills were saved from ruin by an American marriage. Thus, the exterior of the palace remains in good repair and exactly as completed.

'Writing Spider (Argiope aurantia)' On Black
From: home.att.net/~larvalbugrex/argiope.html
Argiope
by Valerie (October 25, 2001)
revised September 23, 2004
The largest orb weaver in our gardens is the black and yellow argiope (Argiope aurantia). Actually, only the female is large, the males being much smaller by comparison. Although big enough to deliver a bite, these spiders are not poisonous or aggressive. The black and yellow argiope is also called banana spider, yellow garden spider, zipper spider, golden orb weaver and writing spider. There are a number of other species in the genus Argiope, but most that occur in the U.S. are restricted to tropical climates. A related species inhabits gardens in Europe. Because they make such big webs and are brightly colored, it is impossible for a resident argiope to remain unnoticed in the garden or, as they sometimes look for sheltered areas, on the side of a house. We had one spider who thought the ideal location for her web was right by our front door over the doorbell. She stayed there all summer, enjoying frequent feedings of any large insects we could find to throw into her web.
The argiope spiders make excellent photography subjects because they don't react to the camera lens. Part of the reason is probably their rather poor vision, as they do not rely on sight to catch prey, but on the vibrations produced in their webs. Smaller orb weavers, like members of the genus Araneus, which also inhabit our yard, sometimes make webs even bigger than the argiopes, but they are very difficult to photograph. Maybe because they are small and tasty morsels for birds, these spiders do not sit in the middle of their web during the day, but usually hide in a nearby leaf at the base of one of the web support strands. If they happen to be in the middle of the web, my approach with the camera almost always makes them retreat to a safe hiding place. In spite of their large size and the care with which they place their webs, the argiope spiders in our yard are often taken by predators such as birds.
An interesting feature of many orb webs is the central white design created by the spider, called a stabilimentum (referring to the idea that it helps stabilize the web). With argiopes, this area is almost round and filled in with many zigzags of silk when the spider is young, but as it grows, the design changes to be more of a single vertical zigzag. Spiders are capable of creating as many as seven different kinds of silk using several different glands that supply the spinnerets. argiope spider hanging under its recently shed exoskeletonThe photo at left shows the underside of an adult female argiope. The spinnerets appear as a group of brown structures forming an irregular shaped disk. The different types of silk have varying amino acid compositions. The silk coming out of the spinnerets can vary from an extremely fine single line, like those used to create the main support lines on their web, to wide ribbons of silk used for subduing prey or making the central design on their web. Spiders can vary the stickiness of the silk as well as it's thickness. The purpose of the central design in many spiders' webs is not completely understood. It could serve several purposes, including a way to conceal the spider from its prey or its predators (which could explain why the patch is more disruptive for small, young spiders than for large ones), a way to keep birds from blundering into the web, or a lure for insects, as the silk reflects ultraviolet light in much the same way as do flower centers. Another spider habit that has never been fully explained is that of hanging upside down in the web. Almost all spiders do this but I've never heard a definitive explanation.
In order to grow, spiders must periodically shed their exoskeletons. This is a fascinating process to watch, but one which leaves the spider very vulnerable until its new skin hardens. When the spider is about to shed, the inside layers of its skin are digested. It anchors its legs on part of its web, hanging upside down. The top of the carapace splits open and the spider literally falls out of its old shell. It doesn't fall because it is anchored by a strand of silk from its spinnerets. As soon as the spider is completely free of its old skin, it hangs limp for awhile, then spreads its legs out to let them dry.female argiope spider just before laying eggs In the photograph above at right, the old skin is visible at the top, while the spider hangs below. At this point the spider is expanding its size, and it can even grow a new limb if one was lost before.
The females are easy to spot in their webs, but the males (photo at right) tend to be harder to find. When they are young, both the males and females look similar, but the males seem to never grow much, while the females become quite large. The males also do not remain in their original area if there is no female around. Once they mature, they must search out a female with whom to mate. Often, it is possible to find the tiny males living in their small webs just to the side of a female's large web. While both genders of argiopes have the habit of holding their legs in an X pattern, the males seem to make the posture more pronounced, possibly as an aid to their protective camouflage.
Just before laying eggs, the female spider is often quite large, her abdomen considerably distended. Argiopes produce large numbers of young in their egg sacs. argiope egg caseAlthough one sac seems to be the norm, we saw one female produce three over a period of a couple of weeks and have heard of a single spider producing four and still going strong. Unlike some spiders, such as the green lynx, who guard their eggs and young, argiopes tend to leave their eggs to their fate. The egg case looks like a miniature Greek wine vessel, with a bulbous shape and a little round neck at the top. The color of the egg case is brown and it is anchored within a framework of silk strands, keeping it away from surrounding vegetation. Although this protects the case from some predators, like ants, other predators and parasites lay their eggs within the cases as well. These tenants include other species of spiders as well as wasps. The young spiders hatch in the fall but overwinter in the egg case. These cases are very well constructed and we've seen them last not only through the winter, but through another year as well, before the weather eventually takes its toll and they are washed away.
Like many spiders, argiopes live only one year, expending all their energy into producing eggs (females) or sperm (males). They die once winter arrives.

The Riazor - Then and now
When Deportivo La Coruña was founded in 1906 they started playing on a field called Corral de la Gaiteira and in the local bull ring. In May 1909 the team moved to the place where the current stadium stands today. It used to be part of the gardens of the Catholic Church School called Las Esclavas (the slaves).
Now this school stands in front of the actual stadium, on the rocks of the beach. The local Government created the new pitch and it was nicknamed the Riazor, after the nearby Riazor Beach. The name stuck but since then the stadium has been remodeled four times:
1909: Viejo Riazor (Old Riazor)
Nowadays the stadium built at the Las Esclavas location is called Viejo Riazor. It was inaugurated on 16 May, 1909 with a match between Deportivo and Fortuna de Vigo. Five years later new goals were added together with small terraces. The stadium was also fenced up so people would have to pay to see the match.
In this first Riazor, Deportivo played against the charismatic Uruguayan national team, knocked Real Madrid out of the Copa del Rey and obtained their first promotion to the Primera División. Some important players of Deportivo's history played in this era like Chacho, Ramón González, Juan Acuña and Luis Otero. Deportivo played in this Old Riazor until 1944.
1944: Riazor
In 1944 the largest football stadium in the history of the Galician region was built. This Riazor had a capacity of 40,000 to 45,000 spectators.
The first match in the new stadium was played on 29 October, 1944 and priest Ricardo Domínguez Dopazo blessed the place in the morning. The Mayor back then was Vázquez-Peña and the president of Deportivo at that time was Ruenes. Some supporters thought the new stadium contained a mistake as the terraces were very far away from the pitch and there was a rumour that the pitch was possessed by the devil. That year Deportivo went down to the Segunda División...
The stadium had cost 5 million pesetas to construct. The promoter of it was former Mayor José Pérez, materializing the ideas of Ramon del Llano. The design of the stadium and the project's sheets were made by municipal architect Santiago Rey Pedreira and Angel Llopiz. The stadium covered an area of 39.325 m2 and the pitch 7.770 m2 (105x74 meters) was one of the biggest in Spain.
Behind the stadium, over the standing Fondo terrace, a great tower of 45 meters was built. Next to it some training pitches, popularly called picadero were constructed. The front of it was surrounded by arches and columns. There was also a training pitch (80x65 meters), demolished in 1968 to make way for the Municipal Pavilion of Sports.
The official capacity of the stadium back then was 37,000. However in some matches there were sold about 60,000 tickets! The biggest terrace was the one in front of the covered stands. This one wasn't covered and was called Preferencia.
The inauguration match in 1944 was played against Valencia and it was dedicated to Virgilio López Rincón, the only survivor from the first team of the 1906 Deportivo. The first eleven Deportivo players that played that day were: Acuña, Portugués, Guimerans, Bienzobas, Lezama, Caballero, Molaza, Marquinez, Pedrito and Paquirri. Deportivo lost 2-3 and the first goal of the history in the stadium was scored by Valencia player Hernández in front of 18,000 spectators.
After 1944, a few great Deportivo players performed in this stadium like Luis Suárez, Amancio and Veloso. The only final of the Copa del Rey played in the city was in this stadium as in 1947 as Real Madrid beat Espanyol 2-0 in front of 30,000 spectators. In the same year the first edition of the Trofeo Teresa Herrera was celebrated, which was won by Athletic de Bilbao as they beat Brazilian Vasco de Gama 3-2.
1982: remodelling for World Cup tournament
At the start of the 1980s the stadium was remodelled again due to the World Cup taking place in Spain in 1982. The organization wanted to change it radically: a reduction of capacity but an increase of comfort. Instead of cemented seats, they wanted to install plastic seats with a back. The remodelled Riazor was inaugurated with the World Cup being played in June 1982. It was officially inaugurated on 15 June, 1982 with the match Peru - Cameroon that ended 0-0.
So, this remodelling became a total renovation. They had to demolish the great terrace of the Preferencia Superior because it was built with poor material. They only conserved parts from the Old Riazor like the big Marathon tower and some walls. The stadium became more comfort but actually got worse: the losing of 10,000 seats didn't make sense.
This time the remodelling was promoted by Angel Ron, La Coruña's delegate of the World Cup. The total inversion was 501.469.000 pesetas, of which 402.239.000 (80%) came from the City Hall and only 99.230.000 (20%) from the World Cup organization. Those years the relationship between the City Government and the club were very good.
In 1983, Mayor Francisco Vázquez and Deportivo president Corzo Sierra signed a deal that allowed Deportivo to use the stadium whenever they wanted. This pact will stand for 50 years, until 2033, with the only annual cost for Deportivo being a symbolic 1 peseta. This contract is very important for Deportivo because it guarantees the club a place to call 'home' in the city for the next 50 years. It also links the club with the local Government, so as to preserve good relations.
The great remodelling and the contract were the first lines of a new chapter in the stadium's history. Riazor had to be prepared for the year 2000, especially the changing and press room. After this, it needed some important changes in the terraces concerning the telecommunications aspect. They also had to demolish some athletic runways - the best in Spain at that time - leaving behind only six of them. The first Deportivo player scoring in the new stadium was Jose Luis against Alavés.
1990s: final improvements
As indicated, that the stadium had lost some of its initial capacity during the remodelling process. But the excellent results of the team in the 1990s in both domestic and European competitions made it being too small and in need for new changes.
In 1995 the idea to close the stadium and to construct a new terrace behind the Sports Pavilion was considered. In this case it would an "U" shape. The new project included a big red top to cover the whole stadium and the local government would pay for it.
In the end the athletic runways were completely suppressed and this led to a big polemic because those were the only runways in the city. Most part of Riazor got covered with plastic seats and the marathon terrace was also modified, bringing it closer to the pitch. The metallic fences were kept intact, although they were very uncomfortable when watching the match from the 10 first rows. The big nets behind both goals were also not very popular, but they remained unchanged.
The stadium capacity was increased to 34,600 places, all seated. The current Riazor was inaugurated in February, 1998 with the match between Deportivo and Real Madrid (2-2). Some radical spectators were unhappy about the plastic seats, as they didn't want to sit down. Around 100 seats were stolen or thrown on the pitch during that match and 84 more against Alavés three days later. The official inauguration took place during the summer of 1998, with a match for the Teresa Herrera tournament starring Real Madrid and Lazio Roma. The first goal was scored by Morientes and the match was dedicated to Deportivo ex-players Rodrigo Vizoso, Acuña and Pedrito, members of the Deportivo squad that played the inaugural match after the 1944 remodelling.
After these stadium improvements, some more slight remodellings have been made. A new system for TV transmissions, the UCO, was installed. And in 2000, just before Deportivo's first Champions League match, some of the other sections, like the press room, were also improved. In the summer of 2001, the new VIP terraces were built and they are among the best in Europe as there is an exterior section with deluxe seats and the interior has TV's, Mini bar, etc. The VIP terraces have individual exits to the stadium and an independent luxury shop. In the summer of 2002, two big TFT displays were added to the stadium (10x10 meters), right above the goals. Replays and music videos can now be played.

I saw this beautiful stand of wildflowers, which I later learned are called Scarlet Buglers, while we were training our dogs and I decided to go back later on to try to capture them. While I was shooting, a couple of Hummingbirds showed up, followed by dozens, to chase each other all over the sky at break-neck speeds and amazingly abrupt changes of direction, and to feed on the wildflowers. I was naturally excited, but I didn't have my long lens with me, and every time that I tried to move in close enough, they would fly away.
Finally, I decided to sit on the ground and wait for them to come back, which they did, eventually, but they were still too far away, except for the one that was hovering about two feet behind my head, where it would have been an impossible catch, since it was too close and because I'm sure it would have flown off, even it I was able to twist around enough to see it, which I wasn't.
I went ahead and shot them, even though they were too far away and the light wasn't right, because I figured that I might be able to zoom in close enough in post-processing to make acceptable shots and since it was easy enough to delete them, if I couldn't. They didn't come out that great, but at least I'll have them to remind me of the fun I had, sitting on the ground, with the aerial show and interesting feeding going on.
Het Bardo museum was vroeger een Moors paleis dat dienst deed als residentie voor de Tunesische beys. Het museum is huidig de bewaarplaats van de Tunesische archeologische schatten. De Romeinse mozaïeken van het museum zijn de belangrijkste in de wereld.
De eerste vorm van mozaïek, of mooi betegelde vloer, komt van de Feniciërs. Bij opgravingen in Carthago en Kerkouane werden vloeren met eenvoudige patronen, in wit mozaïek of uit fijngemalen terracotta met stukjes gekleurd marmer en glas, blootgelegd. De figuratieve mozaïeks uit het Bardo museum dateren van de 2de eeuw na C. en later en zijn gemaakt door Griekse handwerklieden. Ze versierden vaak openbare gebouwen, amfitheaters en badhuizen met mythologische thema's. Vanaf de 3de eeuw na C. werden ook de vloeren van particuliere huizen bekleed met taferelen uit de jacht, het toneel, de landbouw en de zee. Later ook met Christelijke taferelen. De mozaïekkunst kende nog een laatste heropleving in de 6de eeuw na C. door de Byzantijnen.
The Bardo National Museum (Le Musee National du Bardo) is a marvelous museum in Tunis, the capital of Tunisia. The museum has the world's largest collection of Roman mosaics, and is ranked alongside the Egyptian Museum in Cairo as the best museum in north Africa.
The idea to place a museum inside the 14th century Hafside Little Palace was taken in 1882, and six years later the museum opened its doors to the public. It tours Tunisian history, paying particular attention to the Punic, Roman, Christian and Arab periods.
The museum does not only focus on those eras, though. There is a substantial prehistoric collection, showing the area as it was before Roman and Punic intervention. However it is the Roman mosaics, most of which date back to between the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC, which are the museum's most awe-inspiring sights. Particular points of interest are The Triumph of Neptune, Virgil and the floor mosaics of the Sousse room. The labyrinthine hallways and rooms of the museum ensure its visitors will become lost in all of the precious artifacts, which also include a renowned mausoleum room.

Chassis Number: 9306700153
Introduced in 1976 for competition in Group 4 GT, the Porsche 934 and its subsequent derivative the Porsche 935 represent the most successful and important of all sports-racing and GT cars produced during the exciting times of the mid to late 1970s. It was these fantastically advanced, yet typically reliable machines which took the motorsport reputation of Porsche, already at a very high level, to one of total world dominance. A position in sports car racing they are yet to relinquish.
One of only 31 built, this genuine matching 934 RSR Turbo is indeed an extremely rare specimen. Chassis 9306700153 is listed and described in Jürgen Barth's and Bernd Dobronz's book “Porsche - 934/935” on pages 61, 285 and 286 as being the 17th car built.
Its first owner; Jean Blaton bought this 934 from the Porsche works just prior to the Le Mans 24h race in 1976 and resprayed it from its original yellow livery (in which the car presents itself today) to white.
Starting at Le Mans in 1976 with the drivers Nick Faure and John Goss, the car did not finish the race due to problems with the turbocharger. Subsequently Blaton sold the car to well known NSU and Porsche tuner Jean-Pierre Gaban and on 23rd May 1978, Willy Braillard won the Grand Prix of Zolder against John Lagodny and Claude Bourgoignie, both competing in 935 Porsches.
J.P. Gaban kept the car until 1982 and Braillard twice scored 2nd places on 4th September 1977 as well as on 24th September 1977 in Zolder. Braillard was also successful in winning on 7th June 1978 on the 600kms of Spa. The car was then sold to the Vermeulen brothers who in turn sold it to long term owner Walter Pauwels, from him it came to its current owner who restored the car and rebuilt it back to its livery in yellow as delivered by the works back in 1976.
Today the car presents itself in superb condition and its engine and turbo charger was recently on a dyno, reading over 400hp at a boost pressure of only 0.8 Bar (over 500hp at 1.3 Bar). This is indeed one of the ultra rare (1 of 31 built) Porsche 934 RSR Turbos with documented period race history, FIA papers and race ready.
This represents a marvellous opportunity for a Porsche collector to purchase one of the most significant survivors from this important period or for a historic racer to return this car to the tracks. In this vein this is a car that is ideal for historic racing, both here on the continent and in the USA. In these events, it would surely dominate as it did so gloriously during the late 1970's.

BMW 3 Series (E90)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The BMW 3 Series (E90/E91/E92/E93) is the fifth generation compact executive car of the BMW 3 Series, which was produced from 2004 to 2013. The body styles of the range are:
. 4-door Sedan/Saloon (E90 Model Code)
. Estate/Wagon (E91 Model Code, marketed as "Touring")
. Coupé (E92 Model Code)
. Cabriolet (E93 Model Code)
Due to the separate model codes for each body style, the term "E9X" is sometimes used to describe this generation of the 3 Series.
The E90/E91 sedans and wagons began to be phased out following the introduction of their F30/F31 successors in 2012. However, the E92/E93 coupes and cabriolets remained in production until 2013, when they were replaced by the F32/F33 models.
The E92 335i coupe, introduced in 2006, was the first 3 Series model to be sold with a turbocharged petrol engine. The E9X family also saw the introduction of run-flat tyres to the 3 Series range. Consequently, cars with run-flats are not equipped with a spare tyre.
The E90/E92/E93 M3 is the only generation of M3 to be powered by a V8 engine. Released in 2007,[8] it uses BMW's S65 engine and was produced in sedan, coupe and cabriolet body styles."

BMW 3 Series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The BMW 3 Series is a compact executive car manufactured by the German automaker BMW since May 1975.
It is the successor to the 02 Series and has been produced in six different generations.
The first generation of the 3 Series was only available as a 2-door sedan, however the model range has since expanded to include a 4-door sedan, 2-door convertible, 2-door coupé, 5-door station wagon, 5-door hatchback (Gran Turismo) and 3-door hatchback body styles.
Since 2013, the coupé and convertible models have been marketed as the 4 Series, therefore the 3 Series range no longer includes these body styles.
The 3 Series is BMW's best-selling model, accounting for around 30% of the BMW brand's annual total sales (excluding motorbikes). The BMW 3 Series has won numerous awards throughout its history.
The M version of the 3 series, M3, debuted with the E30 M3 in 1986."

- First generation (E21; 1975–1983)
- Second generation (E30; 1982–1994)
- Third generation (E36; 1990–2000)
- Fourth generation (E46; 1998–2006)
- Fifth generation (E90/E91/E92/E93; 2004–2013)
"The fifth generation 3 Series was produced in the sedan, wagon, coupé and cabriolet body styles. Due to the separate model codes for each body style, the term "E9X" is sometimes used to describe this generation of the 3 Series.
In 2006, the 335i became the first 3 Series model to be sold with a turbocharged petrol engine. The E90 also saw the introduction of run-flat tires to the 3 Series range. Consequently, cars with run-flats are not equipped with a spare tire.
The E90/E92/E93 M3 was powered by the BMW S65 v8 engine. It was released in 2007 and was produced in sedan, coupe and cabriolet body styles."
- Sixth generation (F30/F31/F34; 2011–present)

First try, first published and a first win in a comp :)
Now thats what you call a beginners luck!
Digital Camera Magazine - Sept Issue
Normally I don't bother sending my pics to any places but the reasons behind submitting my photo to this magazine was that I needed to have a photo published somewhere so that it would be favourable to pass the interview to join the photography course at TAFE. (TAFE = like a college)
Never thought I'd win anything so it's a huge surprise!
... and a little more on TAFE:
For anyone who wanted to enrol in photography course at TAFE, you have to present your portfolio and go through an interview where you'll get questions like "Do you work or have worked in photography industry?" or "Have you ever had your photo published?" which unfortunately I had answer "no" and had me wondering why I needed experience since I wanted to learn from the beginning.
Anyways, I found out the reason behind the strict student selection was due to limited seat as their photography course is so popular. On my initial application, I was not offered a spot but now with this, I may have a better luck at the next year's interview. :)
Thanks DC mag for the awesome Manfrotto tripod! It's an awesome trophy!
