« Ne pouvant faire un palais de la chaumière ou du galetas de chaque famille ouvrière, nous avons voulu mettre la demeure de l’ouvrier dans un palais ; le Familistère, en effet, n’est pas autre chose, c’est le palais du travail, c’est le PALAIS SOCIAL de l’avenir.
Ce qu’il n’est pas possible de faire au profit de familles éparpillées et sans lien, les améliorations qu’on ne peut introduire dans le tohu-bohu des habitations ouvrières, ni à la ville, ni à la campagne, ni dans les caves, ni dans les mansardes habitées ; ce que ne permettent pas même les habitations ouvrières isolées les mieux construites, quel qu’en soit le système : le Familistère le permet, le palais social le rend possible, bien plus, il le rend nécessaire. »
Jean-Baptiste-André Godin La Richesse au service du peuple, le Familistère de Guise. 1875.

JEAN-BAPTISTE GODIN ( ENGLISH )
Jean-Baptiste André Godin (26 January 1817 -29 January 1888) was a French industrialist and social experimentor born on the 26th of January 1817 at Esquéhéries (Aisne).
The son of an artisan, he entered an iron-works at an early age, and at seventeen made a tour of France as journeyman. Returning to Esquéhéries in 1837, he started a small factory for the manufacture of castings for heating-stoves. The business increased rapidly, and for the purpose of railway facilities was transferred to Guise in 1846. At the time of Godin's death in 1888 the annual output was over four millions of francs (4,160,000), and in 1908 the employees numbered over 2000 and the output was over 280,000.
An ardent disciple of Charles Fourier, he advanced a considerable sum of money towards the disastrous Fourierist experiment of V. P. Considerant (q.v.) in Texas (known as La Reunion. He profited, however, by its failure, and in 1859 started the Familistère, or community settlement, of Guise on more carefully laid plans.
The Familistère forms a town within the town of Guise. It comprises, in addition to a large factory, three large buildings, each four stories high, capable of housing all the work-people, each family having two or three rooms. The main building consists of three rectangular blocks joined at the corners. Each of these blocks has a central court covered with a glass roof under which children can play in all weather. There is no church of any sort. (There are, of course, churches within the rest of Guise). At the back of the main block there was a nursery. There is a separate block, known as the "economat", containing various shops, refreshment rooms and recreation rooms of various kinds(?), stores for the purchase of groceries, drapery and every necessity. This has recently (2008) been restored and is now a cafe, a shop selling books, postcards etc and an exhibition area. There were also allotments for the workers.
Opposite the main block there was a building containing a theater for concerts and dramatic entertainments and a primary school. There was also a communal laundry and swimming pool. This was a few years ago derelict but has now been restored. The swimming pool is still a swimming poll but the laundry is a meeting room and the drying room is now (2008) an exhibition room. In 1880 the whole was turned into a co-operative society, with provision by which it eventually became the property of the workers.
Godin manufactured cookers and heating stoves of many kinds mainly made from cast iron castings. Sometimes these were enameled. These are still to be found in use all over France. They can be found for sale on eBay.
This business was still owned by the workers in the 1950s but soon after was taken over by Le Creuset. It is not obvious that the factory is still functioning. It is seems the domestic building were privatised. The state of the domestic buildings was deteriorating but has recently been awarded EU money for it to be restored.
In 1871 Godin was elected deputy for Aisne, but retired in 1876 to devote himself to the management of the Familistère. In 1882 he was created a Knight of the Legion of Honor.
Godin was the author of Solutions sociales (1871); Les Socialistes et les Droits du travail (1874); Mutualité sociale et association du capital et du travail (1880); La Republique du travail et la reforme parlementaire (1889). See Bernardot, Le Familistère de Guise et son fondateur (Paris, 1887); Fischer, Die Familistère Godins (Berlin, 1890); Lestelle, Etude sur le Familistère de Guise (Paris, 1904); D. F. P., Le Familistère illustr, résultals de vingt ans d'association, 1880-1900 (Eng. trans., Twenty-eight years of co-partnership at Guise, by A. Williams, 1908).
A petite Sheraton chest of drawers
Estimate: PHP 330,000 - 400,000
3rd quarter, 19th century
Laguna
Narra wood, kamagong / lanite inlays, kamagong / silver mounts
98 x 86 x 48 cm (38 1/2 x 34 x 19 in)
This small, but finely proportioned example has simple straight lines popularized by English furniture maker Thomas Sheraton at the turn of the 19th century. The one-piece top has ogee edge, decorated with moldings at the sides and carved dentils below. The bank of four drawers, including the ends, have conforming triple-lined border which curve around the keyholes and concave at the corners. Removing the bottom-most drawer allows access to the secret compartment below used to stash away precious jewelries, documents, and the likes. The whole case rests on bracket feet. Silver escutcheons accentuate and protect the keyholes. The popularity of the use of commodes reached the Philippines in the early 1800s due to its versatility in the bedroom for storing clothes and as an altar table for devotional santos. Of the two types of comoda that became popular in the Philippines, chests of drawers like this are rarer, thus, in many cases, more expensive.

Gieysztoria es un poco más grande que muchos protozoos y algo más pequeña que algunos de ellos, sus movimientos, sus contorsiones, sus continuos cambios de forma y su cuerpo aplastado podrían hacernos confundirla, a veces, con cualquier ciliado plano, por ejemplo, con Frontonia, pero si miramos fijamante a Dalyellia ella devolverá la mirada: dos puntitos arriñonados y oscuros son sus ojos y detrás de ellos una potente y gruesa faringe da paso a un intestino en forma de saco sin salida, en cuyo interior se maceran y digieren restos vegetales y otros desechos que este organismo consume…pero ¿Quién es?
Aunque rodeado de cilios y en movimiento gracias a ellos, Gieysztoria no es un ciliado, es un organismo pluricelular, un gusano plano turbelario, emparentado con las prodigiosas planarias inmortales que se multiplican cada vez que se rompen en mil fragmentos. Muchos turbelarios se caracterizan por tener sobre la piel unos cuerpos alargados, los rabdites, de función defensiva, que expulsan hacia el exterior agua y mucus formando una maraña protectora alrededor de estos animales. En ocasiones esa secreción mucosa es tóxica y puede tener función paralizante y aunque, Gieysztoria no es depredadora, sí lo son otros géneros hermanos que se alimentan con gran voracidad de pequeños crustáceos, otros gusanos y larvas de insectos.
Llama la atención en nuestro protagonista de hoy el remate de su cola, como una mano con dedos cortos con la que se sujeta al fondo y se impulsa para rebuscar entre los sedimentos algo que llevarse a la boca.
Los turbelarios son organismos cosmopolitas pero muchos de ellos habitan específicamente en lugares en los que las condiciones del agua son muy concretas, a Gieysztoria le gustan las aguas ácidas y limpias procedentes de la fusión de las nieves.
Gieysztoria también ha venido con las muestras recogidas en unas praderas inundadas de las inmediaciones de la Laguna de Peñalara y como todos los seres encontrados en ellas va dedicada a todos estos amigos con quienes tuve la suerte de compartir este maravilloso proyecto de Biodiversidad virtual. La fotografía se ha tomado a 200 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

P., Le Familistère illustr, résultals de vingt ans d'association, 1880-1900 (Eng. trans., Twenty-eight years of co-partnership at Guise, by A. Williams, 1908).
The Captives surrounded the pedestal of the statue of Louis XIV on foot in the Place des Victoires. They are by Martin Desjardins, the gallicized name of an eminent Dutch sculptor active during the reign of Louis XIV, who had already made his name with the decoration of the Hôtel Salé (now the Musée Picasso). The monument was commissioned in 1679 by François d'Aubusson, duke of La Feuillade and marshal of France, who had distinguished himself in the campaigns in Franche-Comté and Sicily. He was an astute courtier, and thought it opportune to raise a grandiose monument to the glory of his king. As a setting for the statue, he persuaded the city to open up an immense square and he had the architect Jules Hardouin-Mansart design it. The square was named Place des Victoires in homage to France's victories in the Dutch War, which ended in 1679 with the Treaty of Nijmegen. The monument was inaugurated in 1686.
The captives, four larger-than-life bronze figures, symbolize the four nations defeated at the time of the Treaty of Nijmegen. Each represents one of the ages of man and a different attitude to captivity. Spain is a smooth-faced young man with streaming hair. His naked, upright body and heavenward gaze all indicate hope. The Holy Roman Empire is a bearded old man dressed in an ancient tunic. His head is bowed and his body sags in dejected resignation. Holland is young man with virile features and a short beard. His naked body poised to leap, his shoulder thrust forward in a defiant gesture and his wild expression speak of rebellion. Brandenburg is a mature man dressed like an ancient barbarian (like the Farnese Prisoners, classical marbles highly appreciated by many artists). The hand clutching his cloak, the drooping right shoulder and contorted face express grief. The Captives are all turned to the right, which encourages viewers to walk around the monument in a clockwise direction. Desjardins brilliantly varied his figures, alternating old and young, nude and clothed, upright and stooping figures, and arranging their arms and legs in different positions.

L'antic municipi de Vulpellac tenia, abans de l'annexió de Fonteta i Peratallada, 4,29 quilòmetres quadrats d'extensió. El terme comprèn una zona aturonada, a ponent i al NW amb el punt més elevat al puig Negre (109 m. d'alt), que forma part de la serra de Sant Ramon, límit amb el terme veí de La Bisbal d'Empordà. La part restant del terme és plana i drenada per la riera de Fonteta, de la conca del Daró, que devalla de les Gavarres. La carretera de Palamós a Girona, per la Bisbal, travessa el territori municipal d'est a oest. En aquest lloc s'inicia la carretera local de Vulpellac a Pals. El lloc de Volpeyliacho, del comtat d'Empúries, s'esmenta l'any 894 i, en documents dels anys 904 i 911, és anomenat Vulpiliaco. Hom ha suposat que el topònim pot derivar del gentilici llatí Vulpi8lius, però Joan Coromines el creu d'origen cèltic.
El poble de Vulpellac (51 m d'alt), a l'esquerra de la riera de Fonteta, té un nucli antic de notable interès arquitectònic, centrat pel conjunt que formen el castell-palau i l'església parroquial. Com en tants pobles de l'Empordà, en els darrers anys un bon nombres de cases han estat convertides en segona residència. Fora d'aquest nucli són força nombroses les masies disseminades pel veïnat del pla i una mica per tot el terme, que té altres dos nuclis importants de població: el veïnat de la Bordeta, sorgit el segle XIX al llarg de la carretera de Girona, i la urbanització del Puig de Sant Ramon.
L'església parroquial de Sant Julià i Santa Basilissa és l'antiga capella del castell. L'edifici actual és del segle XVI, d'estil gòtic tardà, amb detalls renaixentistes i fortificada. A migdia de l'església s'ha excavat part d'una necròpolis alt-medieval amb tombes antropomorfes i de lloses que també s'estenien per sota del temple i pel subsòl del castell, on es troba un fragment de sarcòfag decorat. S'han trobat vestigis de l'església anterior, que podrien ésser romànics.
El castell-palau, per la seva banda, manté en una bona part l'estructura essencial del segle XIV, amb nombroses reformes de la primera meitat del XVI, efectuades per ordre de Miquel Sarriera, que afectaren la disposició interior i la decoració, Pels volts de 1725 s'hi van fer altres reformes i més endavant, l'edifici va ser convertit en casa de pagès. És un immoble de dues plantes format per tres crugies, que junt amb l'església, emmarquen un petit pati interior de planta trapezial. El 1931 va ser declarat monument nacional.
A l'entorn de l'església i del palau hi ha restes disperses de la muralla, alguns vestigis de la qual es troben entremig de les cases del poble. L'element més ben conservat és la torre-portal del nord-est, de planta quadrada i amb la porta adovellada. Es conserva una altra torrre, cilíndrica, al sudo-est del poble, encaixada entre les cases. Malgrat l'alteració recent d'algunes cases del nucli urbà, estructurat a l'entorn del castell i de l'església, hi ha alguns edificis dels segles XVII i XVIII que tenen un interès notable com a arquitectura popular als carrerons del nord a la plaça Major, situada extramurs, i al carrer Major, on hi ha cases amb portals adovellats, escuts i alguns finestrals decorats.
A la part muntanyosa del terme hi ha petites zones de pins i alzines, i espais de vinya i oliveres. A la resta dels conreus, principalment de secà, es planten cereals, farratges i llegums. Hi ha un reduït sector de regadiu, que aprofita les aigües subterrànies, dedicat a hortalises, blat de moro i farratges. Les granges avícoles i la cria de bestiar boví i porcí, amb algunes activitats industrials derivades, completen l'economia. Degut a la seva situació —al costat de la carretera C-255 de Girona a Palamós i de la Bisbal—, al seu terme s'hi han anat instal·lant un bon nombre d'indústires, principalment relacionades amb el sector de la ceràmica o la pedra artificial. Per concolidar i ordenar aquest potencial industrial, l'any 1999 es va començar a urbanitzar un polígon que permetrà donar sortida a la gran demanda de sòl industrial que existeix en aquesta zona.

El antiguo municipio de Vulpellac tenía, antes de la anexión de Fonteta i Peratallada, 4,29 kilómetros cuadrados de extensión. El término comprende una zona aturonada, a ponente|poniente y al NW con el punto más elevado en el monte Negre (109 m. de alto), que forma parte de la sierra de Sant Ramon, límite con el término vecino de La Bisbal d'Empordà. La parte restante del término está plana y drenada por la rambla de Fonteta, de la cuenca del Daró, que devalla de las Gabarras.

Se ha supuesto que el topónimo puede derivar del gentilicio latín Vulpi8lius, pero Joan Coromines lo cree de origen céltico.
El pueblo de Vulpellac (51 m de 'alto), a la izquierda de la rambla de Fonteta, tiene un núcleo antiguo de notable interés arquitectónico, centrado por el conjunto que forman el castillo-palacio y la iglesia parroquial. Como en tantos pueblos del Empordà, en los últimos años uno bueno números de casas han sido convertidas en segunda residencia. Fuera de este núcleo son bastante numerosas las masías diseminadas por el vecindario del plan|llano y un poco por|para todo el término, que tiene otros dos núcleos importantes de población: el vecindario de la Bordeta, surgido el siglo XIX a lo largo de la carretera de Gerona, y la urbanización del Puig de Sant Ramon.
La iglesia parroquial de Sant Julià i Santa Basilissa es la antigua capilla del castillo. El edificio actual es del siglo XVI, de estilo gótico tardó, con detalles renacentistas y fortificada. A mediodía de la iglesia se ha excavado parte de una necrópolis alto-medieval con tumbas antropomorfas y de losas que también se extendían por debajo del templo y por|para el subsuelo del castillo, donde se encuentra un fragmento de sarcófago decorado. Se han encontrado vestigios de la iglesia anterior, que podrían ser románicos.
El castillo-palacio, por su parte, mantiene en una buena parte la estructura esencial del siglo XIV, con numerosas reformas de la primera mitad del XVI, efectuadas por orden de Miquel Sarriera, que afectaron a la disposición interior y la decoración, Alrededor de 1725 se hicieron otras reformas y más adelante, el edificio fue convertido en casa de campo. Es un inmueble de dos plantas formado por tres crujías, que junto con la iglesia, enmarcan un pequeño patio interior de planta trapecial. En 1931 fue declarado monumento nacional.
En Torno a la iglesia y del palacio hay restos dispersos de la muralla, algunos vestigios de la cual se encuentran en medio de las casas del pueblo. El elemento mejor conservado es la torre-portal del nordeste, de planta cuadrada y con la puerta adintelada. Se conserva otra torrre, cilíndrica, en el sudo-est del pueblo, apretón entre las casas. A pesar de la alteración reciente de algunas casas del núcleo urbano, estructurado en torno al castillo y de la iglesia, hay algunos edificios de los siglos XVII y XVIII que tienen un interés notable como arquitectura popular a las callejuelas|callejones del norte en la plaza Major, situada extramurs, y a la calle Major, donde|dónde hay casas con portales adintelados, escudos y algunos ventanales decorados.
En la parte montañosa del término hay pequeñas zonas de pins y encinas, y espacios de viña y olivos. En el resto de los cultivos, principalmente de secano, se plantan cereales, forrajes y legumbres. Hay un reducido sector de regadío, que aprovecha las aguas subterráneas, dedicado a hortalises, maíz y forrajes. Las granjas avícolas y la cría de ganado bovino y porcino, con algunas actividades industriales derivadas, completan la economía. Debido a su situación -al lado de la carretera C-255 de Gerona a Palamós y de la Episcopal-, a su término se han ido instalando un buen número de indústires, principalmente relacionadas con el sector de la cerámica o la piedra artificial. Por concolidar y ordenar este potencial industrial, el año 1999 se empezó a urbanizar un polígono que permitirá dar salida a la gran demanda de suelo industrial que existe en esta zona.

"And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, "You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased." Luke 3:22
While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!" Matthew 17:5

2009
250 mtrs
Aqua is an 82-story mixed-use residential skyscraper in the Lakeshore East development in downtown Chicago designed in the Modern architectural style. The building's height of 819 ft (250 m), includes six levels of parking below ground. The building's eight-story, 140,000 sq ft (13,000 m2) base is topped by a 82,550 sq ft (7,669 m2) terrace with gardens, gazebos, pools, hot tubs, a walking/running track and fire pit. Each floor will cover approximately 16,000 sq ft (1,500 m2). The Aqua was named the Emporis 2009 skyscraper of the year.
Architect
Aqua is designed by Jeanne Gang, principal and founder of Studio Gang Architects, and it is her first skyscraper project. This is the largest project ever awarded to an American firm headed by a woman. Loewenberg & Associates are the architects of record, led by James Loewenberg.
Design
The Aqua Tower is located on the 200 block of North Columbus Drive, and is surrounded by high-rises. To capture views of nearby landmarks for Aqua's residents, Gang stretched its balconies outward by as much as 12 feet (3.7 meters).
The result is a building composed of irregularly shaped concrete floor slabs which lend the facade an undulating, sculptural quality. Gang cites the striated limestone outcroppings that are a common topographic feature of the Great Lakes region as inspiration for these slabs.
The building will contain 55,000 square feet (5,100 square meters) of retail and office space, in addition to 215 hotel rooms (floors 1-18), 476 rental residential units (floors 19-52), and 263 condominium units & Penthouses (floors 53-80).[14] Aqua will also be the first downtown building to combine condos, apartments and a hotel. Strategic Hotels & Resorts had agreed to acquire the first 15 floors of hotel space upon completion of the building, but terminated its $84 million contract for the space in August 2008, citing significant changes in the economic environment. On May 12, 2010, it was announced that Carlson Hotels Worldwide agreed to spend $125 million to open the first Radisson Blu hotel in the United States on 18 vacant floors of the highrise.
The name 'Aqua' was assigned to the building by Magellan Development Group LLC. It fits the nautical theme of the other buildings in the Lakeshore East development, and is derived from the wave-like forms of the balconies; the tower's proximity to nearby Lake Michigan also influenced the name.
Sustainability was also an important factor in Aqua's design. Gang and her team refined the terrace extensions to maximize solar shading, and other sustainable features will include rainwater collection systems and energy-efficient lighting. The green roof on top of the tower base will be the largest in Chicago. The tower will seek LEED certification.

KOKOMO, Ind. – Years from now, when followers of Indiana University Kokomo athletics look back on the 2011 volleyball season, the October 6 win over Trine University will be more than just another game. More than just a footnote in the initial season for women’s volleyball, it will be part of history.

The Big Move, Visioned, Initiated and Implemented by Chancellor Michael Harris IU Kokomo:
This is my 2 page magazine spread final for my lightning class. All shots were lit with some kind of lighting except for the Guitar shot.
Read the story I wrote: On July 19th, 1954 the music world was changed forever. Sam Phillips, the owner of small a Memphis based record label named Sun Records, released a single titled “That’s Alright.” Although the song was a cover, a baby faced, 19 year-old Elvis Aaron Presley and a backup band consisting of talented local musicians made it their very own. With it’s slapping of an upright bass, dynamic guitar playing, and the sound heavily influenced by white hillbilly music and black rhythm and blues, a new genre was born. One of the earliest forms of rock n roll, the sound was known as Rockabilly.
There were a few artists playing Rockabilly type music before Elvis ever laid down tracks at Sun Records. But after that July day, with its new and exciting sound, Rockabilly exploded. Many of the most acclaimed Rockabilly artists ever, recorded at Sun Records at some point in time. Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Warren Smith, Charlie Rich, and Sonny Burgess were some of the incredible talents that were catalysts for the Rockabilly movement.
Rockabilly’s shelf life was short-lived however. In 1958, Elvis had joined the Army. In 1959, Buddy Holly and 3 others were killed in a plane crash. By the early 1960’s, Rockabilly was all but dead. The music was replaced by pop stars and country western crooners. Rockabilly’s influence however, can be felt everywhere. If you’ve never heard of it before, you’ve probably heard music inspired by those early Rockabilly artists. For if it wasn’t for Rockabilly, there would be no Beatles, no The Who, no Rolling Stones, and no Led Zeppelin. Any of those names ring a bell?
In the late 1970’s to early 1980’s, Rockabilly had somewhat of a revival. Artists like Levi Dexter & the Rockats, The Blasters, The Polecats, and popular recording artists the Stray Cats, all made a choice to get away from increasingly commercialized pop music and get back to American roots music. The Stray Cats were the only ones who achieved some kind of mainstream success. But what they all did was introduce a forgotten musical genre to a new generation and inspire a new counter culture.
Today, Rockabilly is alive and very well all over the world. Although the music isn’t attaining chart success, the counter culture itself is booming. One of the hotbeds for the Rockabilly scene is Orange County, California. It is a counter culture in the same regard as the hippy movement of the 60’s, Punk Rock in the late 70’s & early 80’s, and Gangster Rap of the 1990’s. In 2010, Rockabilly isn’t just about the music, it’s about a lifestyle. It’s a community brought together by the love of American roots music and early American car culture. Car clubs are a common site at Rockabilly concerts and festivals. Pre-1964 customized lead sleds that rumble through the streets, sitting low to the ground, with ultra creative pinstriping are sometimes a hotter topic than the music being played on stage. Fashion from the 1950’s is ever-present and worn proudly in today’s Rockabilly scene. Men wearing white t-shits with the sleeves rolled up, Chuck Taylor Converse on their feet, and cuffed Levi’s while piling their pompadours high are a staple. The ladies can be seen in poodle skirts or dresses that show off their shapely hips, cardigan sweaters, high heels, and an up do that would make any beehive wearing hairdresser from the 50’s proud. Seeing a woman all dolled up like she was straight out of an Alberto Vargas or Gil Elvgren pin-up painting is a welcome and thankfully, a common site as well. Art is a big part of today’s Rockabilly culture as well. Talented artists that are well versed in the art of pinstriping are a hot commodity as every custom car driver wants an original piece of art on their ride. The “Rebel Without A Cause” look that the Rockabilly men of today go for wouldn’t be complete without tattoos. Although, tattoos are equally as popular with the women these days. Traditional tattoos like those done on Sailors in World War II can be seen everywhere throughout the Rockabilly scene.
Rockabilly has had a revival and has been re-incarnated. The music industry has changed to a point where we will probably never see a recording artist playing Rockabilly top any kind of music charts again. But with the passion, the love, and the dedication for the music, the cars, the art, and the Rockabilly counter culture overall, the people entrenched in the Rockabilly scene of today are going to make sure it doesn’t go away again.

« Ne pouvant faire un palais de la chaumière ou du galetas de chaque famille ouvrière, nous avons voulu mettre la demeure de l’ouvrier dans un palais ; le Familistère, en effet, n’est pas autre chose, c’est le palais du travail, c’est le PALAIS SOCIAL de l’avenir.
Ce qu’il n’est pas possible de faire au profit de familles éparpillées et sans lien, les améliorations qu’on ne peut introduire dans le tohu-bohu des habitations ouvrières, ni à la ville, ni à la campagne, ni dans les caves, ni dans les mansardes habitées ; ce que ne permettent pas même les habitations ouvrières isolées les mieux construites, quel qu’en soit le système : le Familistère le permet, le palais social le rend possible, bien plus, il le rend nécessaire. »
Jean-Baptiste-André Godin La Richesse au service du peuple, le Familistère de Guise. 1875.
Les chiffres du Familistère : ( source Wikipédia )
10 millions de briques sont nécessaires à la construction des trois pavillons du Palais Social.
30 000 m² de surfaces sont offerts par l’ensemble des trois pavillons.
1 kilomètre de coursives parcourt les trois pavillons du Palais.
500 fenêtres percent les façades des trois unités d’habitation.
495 appartements sont aménagés dans l’ensemble des cinq pavillons du Familistère avant 1918.
1 748 personnes habitent au Familistère en 1889.
50 berceaux peuvent être installés dans la nourricerie du Familistère.
796 invités participent au banquet de la cinquième fête du Travail dans la cour du pavillon central en 1872.
1 000 spectateurs prennent place au théâtre en 1914.
1 526 employés travaillent dans les usines de la Société du Familistère en 1887.
2 500 est le nombre de record d’employés de l’Association du Familistère de Guise et à Bruxelles en 1930.
4 000 modèles d’appareils et d’accessoires sont fabriqués par la Société du Familistère en 1914.
210 000 appareils sont expédiés par les usines de Guise et Bruxelles en 1913-1914.
664, c’est le nombre de pages qui composent le livre Solutions Sociales publié par Godin en 1871.
JEAN-BAPTISTE GODIN ( ENGLISH )
Jean-Baptiste André Godin (26 January 1817 -29 January 1888) was a French industrialist and social experimentor born on the 26th of January 1817 at Esquéhéries (Aisne).
The son of an artisan, he entered an iron-works at an early age, and at seventeen made a tour of France as journeyman. Returning to Esquéhéries in 1837, he started a small factory for the manufacture of castings for heating-stoves. The business increased rapidly, and for the purpose of railway facilities was transferred to Guise in 1846. At the time of Godin's death in 1888 the annual output was over four millions of francs (4,160,000), and in 1908 the employees numbered over 2000 and the output was over 280,000.
An ardent disciple of Charles Fourier, he advanced a considerable sum of money towards the disastrous Fourierist experiment of V. P. Considerant (q.v.) in Texas (known as La Reunion. He profited, however, by its failure, and in 1859 started the Familistère, or community settlement, of Guise on more carefully laid plans.
The Familistère forms a town within the town of Guise. It comprises, in addition to a large factory, three large buildings, each four stories high, capable of housing all the work-people, each family having two or three rooms. The main building consists of three rectangular blocks joined at the corners. Each of these blocks has a central court covered with a glass roof under which children can play in all weather. There is no church of any sort. (There are, of course, churches within the rest of Guise). At the back of the main block there was a nursery. There is a separate block, known as the "economat", containing various shops, refreshment rooms and recreation rooms of various kinds(?), stores for the purchase of groceries, drapery and every necessity. This has recently (2008) been restored and is now a cafe, a shop selling books, postcards etc and an exhibition area. There were also allotments for the workers.
Opposite the main block there was a building containing a theater for concerts and dramatic entertainments and a primary school. There was also a communal laundry and swimming pool. This was a few years ago derelict but has now been restored. The swimming pool is still a swimming poll but the laundry is a meeting room and the drying room is now (2008) an exhibition room. In 1880 the whole was turned into a co-operative society, with provision by which it eventually became the property of the workers.
Godin manufactured cookers and heating stoves of many kinds mainly made from cast iron castings. Sometimes these were enameled. These are still to be found in use all over France. They can be found for sale on eBay.
This business was still owned by the workers in the 1950s but soon after was taken over by Le Creuset. It is not obvious that the factory is still functioning. It is seems the domestic building were privatised. The state of the domestic buildings was deteriorating but has recently been awarded EU money for it to be restored.
In 1871 Godin was elected deputy for Aisne, but retired in 1876 to devote himself to the management of the Familistère. In 1882 he was created a Knight of the Legion of Honor.
Godin was the author of Solutions sociales (1871); Les Socialistes et les Droits du travail (1874); Mutualité sociale et association du capital et du travail (1880); La Republique du travail et la reforme parlementaire (1889). See Bernardot, Le Familistère de Guise et son fondateur (Paris, 1887); Fischer, Die Familistère Godins (Berlin, 1890); Lestelle, Etude sur le Familistère de Guise (Paris, 1904); D. F. P., Le Familistère illustr, résultals de vingt ans d'association, 1880-1900 (Eng. trans., Twenty-eight years of co-partnership at Guise, by A. Williams, 1908).
She asked...
What is a Soul if it is not a Woman’s Soul? I wake to find myself writing about love, pain, sadness, and a touch of anger that women, most of the time, try to hide from others. My spiritual and love poems allow me as a woman to feel an inner peace that many times people long for but have been unable to achieve. As you read you will find a part of me and a part of someone else. Maybe it will be you. Just remember that a Woman’s Soul is undefined.
In the dark
In my bed
Under the covers
It was you that touched me
Explored
Exploded within
The desire that slept with me last night
Belonged to you
When I awoke
The things I dreamt about you
Made me blush
You . . .
A man without a face
But with a soul that follows me
Somehow has reached me

Monochromatic? Not really he? All the shades of grey... from a true black to a pure white... as it should be!
Sometimes I just 'feeeeeeeeel' like this, a flower image in b&w...
I love the subtle tones, all the varied tones, that give the flower/petals/stems their texture, depth and form, their delectable shapes accentuated, extracted and emphasized without the colour. Don't you agree?
MORE THAN EVER:
Lead and enjoy a good life, do and say things that enrich... and do not forget to tell the people close to you, how much you love them!

INFORMATION ON BASIL:
Basil (Ocimum basilicum), of the Family Lamiaceae. Basil is a tender low-growing herb that is grown as a perennial in warm, tropical climates. Basil is originally native to Iran, India and other tropical regions of Asia, having been cultivated there for more than 5,000 years. There are many varieties of basil, that which is used in Italian food is typically called sweet basil, as opposed to Thai basil or holy basil, which are used in Asia. It is prominently featured in Italian cuisine, and also plays a major role in the Southeast Asian cuisines of Thai, Vietnamese and Laotian. It grows to between 30–130 cm tall, with opposite, light green, silky leaves 3–11 cm long and 1–6 cm broad. The flowers are quite big, white in color and arranged in a terminal spike. Unusual among Lamiaceae, the four stamens and the pistil are not pushed under the upper lip of the corolla, but lay over the inferior. After entomophilous pollination, the corolla falls off and four round achenes develop inside the bilabiate calyx. The plant tastes somewhat like anise, with a strong, pungent, sweet smell. Basil is very sensitive to cold, with best growth in hot, dry conditions. While most common varieties are treated as annuals, some are perennial, including African Blue and Holy Thai basil.
The word basil comes from the Greek βασιλεύς (basileus), meaning "king", as it is believed to have grown above the spot where St. Constantine and Helen discovered the Holy Cross. The Oxford English Dictionary quotes speculations that basil may have been used in "some royal unguent, bath, or medicine". Basil is still considered the "king of herbs" by many cookery authors. An alternative etymology has "basil" coming from the Latin word basilicus, meaning dragon and being the root for basilisk, but this likely was a linguistic reworking of the word as brought from Greece.
INFORMATION ON THE CUCUMBER:
The cucumber (Cucumis sativus)is a widely cultivated plant in the gourd family Cucurbitaceae, which includes squash, and in the same genus as the muskmelon. The cucumber is a creeping vine that roots in the ground and grows up trellises or other supporting frames, wrapping around ribbing with thin, spiraling tendrils. The plant has large leaves that form a canopy over the fruit.
The fruit is roughly cylindrical, elongated, with tapered ends, and may be as large as 60 cm long and 10 cm in diameter. Cucumbers grown to be eaten fresh (called slicers) and those intended for pickling (called picklers) are similar. Cucumbers are mainly eaten in the unripe green form. The ripe yellow form normally becomes too bitter and sour.
Having an enclosed seed and developing from a flower, cucumbers are scientifically classified as fruits. Much like tomatoes and squash, however, their sour-bitter flavor contributes to cucumbers being perceived, prepared and eaten as vegetables. Still, "vegetable" is a purely culinary term, and there is no conflict in classifying cucumber as both a fruit and a vegetable.
INFORMATION ON THE GREEN BEAN:
Green beans (American English), French beans or runner beans (British English), also called squeaky beans, are the unripe fruit of any kind of bean, including the yardlong bean, the hyacinth bean, the winged bean, and especially the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), whose pods are also usually called string beans in the northeastern United States, but can also go by snap beans. Varieties have been bred especially for the fleshiness, flavor, or sweetness of their pods. Smaller bean pods are often referred to by the French name haricots verts. The first "stringless" bean was bred in 1894 by Calvin Keeney, called the "father of the stringless bean." Keeney worked in Le Roy, New York.
Green beans are of nearly universal distribution. They are marketed canned, frozen and fresh. A dish with green beans popular in the southern United States, particularly at Thanksgiving, is green bean casserole. Some restaurants in the USA serve green beans that are battered and fried. Green beans are also sold dried and fried with vegetables like carrots, corn, and radishes. They are also rich in vitamin C.
Haricots verts, French for "green beans," may refer to a longer, thinner type of green beans than the typical, American green beans.

We spent a beautiful summer day in Low Tatras on Saturday. Left home in the morning and hiked from Srdiečko to Chopok, Ďumbier and back to Srdiečko where we left our car. Ďumbier (2,043 m) and Chopok (2,024 m) are two highest peaks of Low Tatras and are connected by the long distance E8 European walking route leading 4,700 km (2,920 miles) across Europe, from Kerry in Ireland to Istanbul in Turkey.
We had a nice sunny weather at the beginning so I was testing a new Heliopan polarizer.. yup it's a top quality ;) Anyways it got a bit cloudy later and all those beautiful panoramic views were quite hazy. So I tried to focus on nice details instead. This shot shows a zig-zag walking trail leading to the North part of Low Tatras that you can see from Demänovské sedlo (1,756 m).
Thanks for looking!
Your feedback is always appreciated...

William Arthur Ward
Brittany (French: Bretagne) (Breton: Breizh) is one of the 26 regions of France. It occupies a large peninsula in the northwest of the country, lying between the English Channel to the north and the Bay of Biscay to the south. Its capital is Rennes.
The region of Brittany is made up of 80% of the former duchy and province of Brittany. The remaining 20% of Brittany is the Loire-Atlantique department which lies inside the Pays-de-la-Loire region, with its capital Nantes, which was the historical capital of the duchy of Brittany.
Part of the reason that Brittany was split between two modern day regions was to avoid the rivalry between Rennes and Nantes. Although Nantes had been the main capital of the duchy of Brittany until the 16th century, Rennes had been the seat of the supreme court of justice of Brittany between 1560 and 1789. Rennes had also been the administrative capital of the Intendant of Brittany between 1689 and 1789. Intendances were the most important administrative units of the kingdom of France in the 17th and 18th centuries. As for the provincial states of Brittany, which originally met every two years in a different city of Brittany, they had only met in Rennes from 1728 to 1789 (with only the exceptions of 1730, 1758, and 1760). Despite that, the "Chambre des comptes" stayed in Nantes until 1789. Note that Vannes (Gwened in Breton) used to be the first administrative capital of the duchy from 1381 till the end of the 15th century, keeping the seat of the "Chambre des comptes]]" till 1491/99, and the one of the "Parlement" till 1553, and between 1675 and 1689.
Thus, when French regions were created, it was decided in 1941 (when the majority of France was under Nazi German occupation, and the remainder under the puppet Vichy regime) to create a region of Brittany with Rennes as its capital, and another region created specifically for Nantes, which was called Pays-de-la-Loire (i.e. "lands of the Loire"). Pays-de-la-Loire is made up of a part of Brittany, but also several other historical provinces (Anjou, Maine, and so on).
Some people in Brittany complain about the current division of Brittany and would like to see Loire-Atlantique joining the region of Brittany in order to reunify Brittany. However, reunification raises a couple of questions: first, what to do with the rump Pays-de-la-Loire region, and second, which city should be chosen as the capital of this reunified Brittany region.
Depuis le 3 Octobre, plus de 200 familles dorment dans la rue de la Banque pour protester contre l'absence de logements décents. Français ou immigrés en situation régulière, tous travaillent mais vivent dans des conditions déplorables: le plus souvent à l'hôtel, ou dans des appartements minuscules, parfois menacés d'expulsion.
Le 9 Décembre, une petite fête avait été organisée pour célébrer la naissance d'un 5e enfant parmi les familles de la rue de la Banque, et pour installer un sapin de Noël. Même si la pluie, et la situation tendue d'un autre campement rue d'Aubervilliers vinrent un peu gâcher l'ambiance, Guy Bedos vint apporter son soutien aux familles.

Registration Number: German Registered
Chassis Number: 61651
This Veritas RS was purchased by the current owner in 2001 from the assets of its deceased owner Björn Övre. Mr. Övre was a collector of Veritas and early BMW cars who has purchased already in the 1950s and 1960s several Veritas cars in Belgium and imported them to Norway. He was indeed well known in Veritas circles and often a most welcomed guest at Veritas meetings at Meßkirch and at the Nürburgring. Sadly his intention to restore 61651 after retiring did not happen due to his untimely death.
After being in the now vendors ownership the car was completely restored by German specialist Georg Thiele and a photographic documentation of the restoration is available in the cars file. This restoration included restoring the original space frame, front and rear axles, wheels, braking system and fitting of new shock absorbers, rebuilt engine with new pistons, polished con rods, new oil and water pumps (by Feierabend) and a 5 - speed gearbox is fitted with the original gearbox supplied. Fresh paint and seats trimmed in the traditional style finish the car.
Today 61651 presents itself in superb race and road ready condition. This car campaigned in many classic races, rallies and classic outings all over Europe within the last 10 years while in the ownership of its current custodian, himself a well known pre - and post war BMW collector and is in mint condition throughout. Needless to say that it is highly collectible, very rare and simply beautiful, certainly not to be missed.
Der Veritas RS # 61651 stammt aus dem Nachlass des norwegischen Sammlers Björn Öwre und wurde in 2001 vom jetzigen Einlieferer vom Nachlass - Verwalter erworben. Öwre besaß seit den 1950/1960er Jahren mehrere Veritas, die er in Belgien erworben und nach Norwegen importiert hatte. Er war den Veritas Freunden seit Jahren bekannt und ein gern gesehener Gast an deren Treffen in Meßkirch und am Nürburgring.
Unter der Leitung von Herrn Georg Thiele und dank vorhandener Pläne wurde 61651 von Grund auf restauriert. Der originale Gitterrohrrahmen wurde auf einer Richtbank vermessen und ausgerichtet. Beide Achsen wurden komplett revidiert, ebenso Räder,Adapter, Bremsen sowie Bremsseile und Leitungen. Der Wagen erhielt neue Stoßdämpfer. Der Motor wurde mit neuen Hochleistungskolben versehen, die Pleuel wurden ausgerichtet und poliert. Öl - und Wasserpumpen lieferte die bekannte Fa. Feierabend. Der Zylinderkopf ( Bristol 100 ) bekam neue Solex 32PJCB - Vergaser ( NOS ). Ein leistungsfähiges Kühlsystem ist ebenso verbaut wie der für den Rennbetrieb vorgeschriebene Ölauffangbehälter. Zur Zeit ist ein VOLVO 5-Gang Getriebe verbaut, jedoch ist das Original - Getriebe vorhanden.
Der Gitterrohrrahmen wurde mit Aluminium Blechen beplankt, teilweise unter Verwendung alter Karosserie - Teile. Die Lackierung ( innen + aussen ) wurde ebenso wie die Sattlerarbeiten in der ,, alten Art ,, ausgeführt. Das Armaturenbrett und die Instrumente wurden nach Vorlagen und Muster neu angefertigt und entsperechen dem Original.
Tank und Batterie wurden aus Sicherheitsgründen - abweichend vom Original - im Heck des Wagens untergebracht. Eine Fotodokumentation ist vorhanden.
So, for those of you who do not know NY I will tell you this... it isn't warm this time of year, in fact, it was maybe 40 degrees today. P.S. there was no sun either, that is right just a VERY long exposure.
I am not a warm weather person so-to speak-but we could use some sun.
Don't laugh at our beach I know it isn't an ocean HAHA.
I also went into the water. Not my best move considering it was 30 degrees and none of the shot would come out because I do all of these manual focus and I just couldn't get it right today.. Hard to pick a focusing target in water.
Anway here is one of the shots. It is okay, nothing to write home to mom about. All you sun shiney people take it easy on me I am a NY girl and spend very little time in the sun let alone a beach.

向日葵花语的含义
“更无柳絮因风起，惟有葵花向日倾”的向日葵是俄罗斯的国花。这向往光明之花，给人带来美好的希望。传说古代有一位农夫女儿名叫明姑，被后娘百般凌辱虐待。一次惹怒了后娘，夜里熟睡之际被后娘挖掉了眼睛。明姑破门出逃，不久死去，死后坟上开着一盘鲜丽的黄花，终日面向阳光，它就是向日葵。向日葵表示明姑向往光明，厌恶黑暗之意，这传说激励人们痛恨暴力、黑暗，追求光明。
sunflower 向日葵，朝阳花
向日葵又叫朝阳花，因其花常朝着太阳而得名。英语称之为sunflower却不是因为它的这一特性，而是因为它的黄花开似太阳的缘故，虽然sunflower也多少带着“向日”的含义。sunflower一词是16世纪到17世纪从拉丁语flos solis借译过来的。向日葵的法语和意大利语名称tournesol,girasol同汉语名称一样，也是基于“向日”这一特性来命名的。美国堪萨斯州因盛产向日葵有Sunflower State的别称。
向日葵的花语有很多种
（1） 生日花：向日葵（Sunflower）花 语：太阳（The Sun）向日葵具有向光性，人们称它为「太阳花」，随太阳回绕的花。在古代的印加帝国，它是太阳神的象徵。因此向日葵的花语就是－太阳。受到这种花祝福而诞生的人，具有一颗如太阳般明朗、快乐的心。他是许多人倾慕、仰赖的对象，也因此他始终无法安定下来，并认真的接受一份感情，具有晚婚的倾向。
（2） 生日花：野生向日葵（Perennial Sunflower）花 语：投缘（Affinity）野生向日葵的用途很广：种子可以做成点心、还可以提炼食用油、叶片是家畜喜爱的饲料、花可以做成染料等。它和我们的日常生活可是息息相关的，是一种和人类相当投缘的植物。因此，它的花语是－投缘。受到这种花祝福而生的人是理想的情人，更是最佳的终生伴侣。为了让你的他（她）早日出
（3）光辉、高傲、忠诚、爱慕
（4） 向日葵的花语是勇敢的去追求自己想要的幸福
（5） 向日葵花语：爱慕、光辉、忠诚
(6） 向日葵的花语是——沉默的爱.向日葵又叫望日莲一个很美的名字当文森特把自己身体的那一小小部分送给他所爱是人时那不只是沉默的爱
【形态特征】
向日葵四季皆可，主要以夏、冬两季为主。花期可达两周以上。向日葵除了外型酷似太阳以外，她的花朵明亮大方，适合观赏摆饰，她的种子更具经济价值，不但可作成受人喜爱的葵瓜子，更可榨出低胆固醇的高级食用葵花油。向日葵的品种可分为〃一般观赏用〃品种或〃食用〃品种，一般观赏用品种特征为植株较矮小，通常不超过半公尺，因此适合栽种于盆栽中；食用品种则植株较为高大，种于一般露天苗圃土壤中，可长至2公尺以上。向日葵生长相当迅速，通常种植约两个月即可开花，其花型有单瓣、重瓣或单花、多花之分，花期相当长久可达两周以上。
【从生物科学上分析向日葵向日原因】
那么向日葵究竟向不向日？答案是：要看处于什么生长阶段。像工具书那样笼统地说向日葵“常朝着太阳”，是不准确的。
向日葵从发芽到花盘盛开之前这一段时间，的确是向日的，其叶子和花盘在白天追随太阳从东转向西，不过并非即时的跟随，植物学家测量过，其花盘的指向落后太阳大约12度，即48分钟。太阳下山后，向日葵的花盘又慢慢往回摆，在大约凌晨3点时，又朝向东方等待太阳升起。
在阳光的照射下，生长素在向日葵背光一面含量升高，刺激背光面细胞拉长，从而慢慢地向太阳转动。在太阳落山后，生长素重新分布，又使向日葵慢慢地转回起始位置，也就是东方。
但是，花盘一旦盛开后，就不再向日转动，而是固定朝向东方了。为什么最后要面向东方而不是其他方向或朝上呢？这可能是自然选择的结果，对向日葵的繁衍有益处。向日葵的花粉怕高温，如果温度高于30摄氏度，就会被灼伤，因此固定朝向东方，可以避免正午阳光的直射，减少辐射量。但是，花盘一大早就受阳光照射，却有助于烘干在夜晚时凝聚的露水，减少受霉菌侵袭的可能性，而且在寒冷的早晨，在阳光的照射下使向日葵的花盘成了温暖的小窝，能吸引昆虫在那里停留帮助传粉。
向日葵的花托部生长素背光分布，所以背光侧的茎生长较快，茎就会向光源处弯曲向日葵，由于其生长前期的幼株顶端及中期的幼嫩花盘会跟着太阳转动得非常明显而得名。人们都认为向日葵朝阳仅与光能照射有关，其实与重力作用也有着密切关系。
植物体内会产生一种奇妙的生长素，大多集中在生长旺盛的部位，趋向衰老的组织和器官中则含量较少。这种植物生长素有三个特点：第一，能够促进（抑制）细胞的生长，加速（减慢）细胞的分裂繁殖；第二，背光，遇到光能照射，就跑到背光的一面去；第三，向地，在重力作用下，从植物的上端向下端运输，从背地一侧往向地一侧运输，而不能倒转过来运输。
旭日东升，翠绿欲滴的向日葵东侧由于受到阳光照射，致使生长旺盛的顶端幼茎在其背光的西侧生长素分布较多。这侧的细胞纵向伸长生长得快，结果使得幼茎朝向生长慢的东侧弯曲，即向日葵顶端（花盘）早晨向东弯曲。随着太阳在空中的移动，改变光照方向，向日葵顶端（花盘）也不断改变方向，中午直立，下午向西弯曲，这些都表现为茎顶弯曲的向光性。
太阳落山后，大地一片漆黑，由光能照射引起植物体内生长素分布不均的现象消失。但由重力作用而引起植物体内生长素分布不均，则从次要地位上升为主导地位。在向西弯曲的向日葵幼茎下侧（向地侧）分布较多的生长素，致使该侧细胞分裂增多、伸长，向地这侧生长得快，使得茎朝向生长慢的背地的上侧弯曲，结果使昼间弯曲的植株挺直。夜间向日葵植株的挺直，是向日葵与其它植物一样对重力的自然反应——茎背地生长而处于直立状态。
随着向日葵花盘的增大，向日葵早晨向东弯曲、中午直立、下午向西弯曲、夜间直立的周而复始的转向逐渐停止，花盘除表现为越来越明显的垂头外，朝向不再改变。抑制转向的因素，一是不断增大的花盘重力；二是成熟期临近，分生区和伸长区的生长过程已基本结束。而已不再是幼嫩茎的组织趋向衰老，生长素含量较少，且木栓层形成。在转向受抑制之初，当夜间茎顶直立后，最先接受早晨来自东方阳光的照射，为此，绝大部分花盘朝向东，又由于受抑制也有一个过程，是缓慢进行的，所以还能够向南偏转一个约30-40度的角度，久之便以花盘朝东南方向固定下来。
【花卉品种】
向日葵有着独特的美国风情，正是这样。野生的向日葵可能来自于大草原地区而它的形象和美国的早期历史互相交织在一起。美洲印第安人把向日葵磨成面粉作为一种食物来源。现在有一系列新的无花粉品种，这样消除了花粉脱落的问题。在加利福尼亚，最广泛种植的品种是“阳光明亮”，它有着金黄色的花朵，褐黄色的芯和硬实的杆。其它无花粉品种包括：
“月光明亮”柠檬黄的花瓣和黑褐色的芯；
“阳光光束”金黄色的花，绿色的芯；
“充满阳光的柠檬”亮黄色的花，黑色的芯；
“充满阳光的橙子”金黄色的花，黑色的芯。
我们都认识的向日葵有一个敞开的花面，其直径平均有5至6英寸，而芯就占去了整个花的60%。现在有几种新的品种背离了这个标准。“Sonja”有着中等大小，4英寸的金橙色花，带着黑色的芯。它适合在小一点的花束中作为向日葵的点缀。
“玩具熊”是另一种新奇的品种。它是一种矮小的品种，有着丰富的橙色花瓣，使得它有一种有些模糊的外表。
黄色是向日葵的主导色，但新的一些品种增添了浓红色和褐黄色。
“Floristan”是一种双色的品种，有着青铜色和红色的花朵，黄色的花尖和黑色的芯。“Prado Red”有着黑色的芯，周围包围着的是略带红的褐黄色花朵，直径约4英寸。其它带有这种丰富的、秋季的颜色有“秋季美”和“落日的余辉”。
【传说故事】
传说一
关于向日葵，曾有一个凄美的希腊神话传说。克吕提厄（Clytie）是一位海洋女神。她曾是太阳神赫利俄斯（Helius）的情人，但后来赫利俄斯又爱上波斯（Persia）公主琉科托厄（Leucothoe）。妒火中烧的克吕提厄向波斯王俄耳卡摩斯（Orchamus）告发了琉科托厄与赫利俄斯的关系。俄耳卡摩斯下令将不贞的女儿活埋。赫利俄斯得知此事后，彻底断绝了与克吕提厄的来往。痴情的克吕提厄一连数天不吃不喝，凝望着赫利俄斯驾驶太阳车东升西落，日渐憔悴，最终化为一株向阳花（向日葵）。
传说二
向日葵--俄罗斯国花。前苏联人民热爱向日葵，并将它定为国花。现在俄罗斯把国花仍定为向日葵“更无柳絮因风起，惟有葵花向日倾”。向日葵，向往光明之花，合人带来美好希望之花，它全身是宝，把自己无私地奉献给人类。关于向日葵，历史上有一美妙传说。古代有一位农夫女儿名叫明姑，她憨厚老实，长得俊俏，却被后娘“女霸王”视为眼中钉，受到百般凌辱虐待。一次，因一件小事，顶撞了后娘一句，惹怒了后娘，使用皮鞭抽打她，可一下失手打到了前来劝解的亲生女儿身上，这时后娘又气又恨，夜里趁明姑熟睡之际挖掉了她的眼睛。明姑疼痛难忍，破门出逃，不久死去，死后在她坟上开着一盘鲜丽的黄花，终日面向阳光，它就是向日葵。表示明姑向往光明，厌恶黑暗之意，这传说激励人们痛恨暴、黑暗，追求光明。这向日葵便繁衍至今。
传说三
关于向日葵，曾有一个凄美的传说。 克丽泰是一位水泽仙女。一天，她在树林里遇见了正在狩猎的太阳神阿波罗，她深深为这位俊美的神所着迷，疯狂地爱上了他。可是，阿波罗连正眼也不瞧她一下就走了。克丽泰热切地盼望有一天阿波罗能对她说说话，但她却再也没有遇见过他。于是她只能每天注视着天空，看着阿波罗驾着金碧辉煌的日车划过天空。她目不转睛地注视着阿波罗的行程，直到他下山。每天每天，她就这样呆坐着，头发散乱，面容憔悴。一到日出，她便望向太阳。后来，众神怜悯她，把她变成一大朵金黄色的向日葵。她的脸儿变成了花盘，永远向着太阳，每日追随他，向他诉说她永远不变的恋情。

Sunflower flower language meaning
The sunflower is Russia's national flower. This yearned for that flower of the light, brings the happy hope to the human. The fable ancient times had a farmer daughter named minggu,is humiliated the maltreatment by the stepmother.One time has provoked the stepmother,night sleeps time has been dug the eye by the stepmother. minggu runs away, soon died, after dying, in the grave is blooming a beautifully vivid Chrysanthemum, faced the sunlight all day long, it was the sunflower. The sunflower explained that minggu yearns for the light, meaning of the loathing darkness, this fable drove that the people hate the violence, darkness, the pursue light.
The sunflower is called the sun flower, often acquires fame because of its flower toward the sun. English called that it sunflower is actually not because of its this characteristic, but because its Chrysanthemum opens resembles sun's reason, although sunflower also how many belts “to sun” meaning. a sunflower word was taking advantage of translates the 16th century to the 17th century from Latin flos solis. Sunflower's French and Italian name tournesol, girasol same Chinese name is the same, is also based on this characteristic names “to the sun”. Because the American State Of Kansas is rich in the sunflower to have the Sunflower State alternate name.

[flowers and plants variety]
The sunflower has the unique American character and style, is precisely this. The wild sunflower possibly comes from the prairie area, but its image and US's early history interweaves mutually in the same place. The Americas Indians grind to the sunflower the bread flour to take one kind of food origin. Now has a series of new non-pollen variety, like this eliminated the question which the pollen falls off. In California, the most widespread planter's variety is “the sunlight is bright”, it has the golden yellow flowers, the brown-yellow core and the sturdy and healthy pole. Other non-pollen variety includes:
“the moonlight is bright” the lemon yellow flower petal and the vandyck brown core;
“sunlight light beam” golden yellow flower, green core;
“is full of the sunlight the lemon” the light yellow flower, the black core;
“is full of the sunlight the orange” the golden yellow flower, the black core.
We knew the sunflower has the woman with a made-up face who opens wide, its diameter has equally 5 to 6 inches, but the core occupied the entire flower 60%. Now had several kind of new varieties to depart from this standard. “Sonja” has the median size, 4 inch golden orange are colored, are bringing the black core. It suits in the small spot bouquet of flowers takes the sunflower the embellishment.
“the toy bear” is another kind of novel variety. It is one kind of diminutive variety, has the rich orange flower petal, enables it to have one kind of somewhat fuzzy semblances.
The yellow is sunflower's leading color, but the new some varieties have increased thick red and the brown-yellow.
“Floristan” is one kind of bi-color variety, has the bronzing and the red flowers, decadent colored sharp and black core. “Prado Red” has the black core, what the surroundings are surrounding is slightly brings the red brown-yellow flowers, the diameter the approximately 4 inches. Other have this kind rich, the autumn color to have “autumn beauty” and “the setting sun afterglow”.

A Warning and an Upgrade
On the weekend of 25/26 April 2009 laminated cards headed: ”WARNING NOTICE” were tied to columns in the streets of Tottenham Hale Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ). They announced "New parking signs and lines"; and that "Parking signs and road markings have been programmed to be upgraded".
I talked to some of our neighbours who were also looking at the notices. What did they make of this "warning", with a promise of something "new"? What exactly was this particular "upgrade"?
They didn't know. I don't expect many local residents did know.
Stripping away spin and obfuscation, this was the work done.
► Some faded yellow and white traffic and parking lines were repainted.
► Hundreds of lines were corrected because they were unlawful and did not comply with the Statutory Regulations.
► That's it!
In 2009 having parking lines which did not comply with the law wasn't a problem unique to Haringey Council. Click here to read about the mess which many local authorities across the country made of their traffic lines and signs. (Use the 'Back' button to return.)
Haringey's Parking and Highways Service - under the 'leadership' of former Labour councillor Brian Haley - was slower than many to come out of denial, admit they were doing it wrong, and agree a programme for repainting lines and getting them right.
Wording of the Temporary Notices
Does the wording of these notices really matter? After all, the work was finished within three weeks, when most of the temporary laminated cards had gone.
In my view, it does matter. How local councils inform and explain things to residents is a vital issue. "Warning" them and promising a spurious "upgrade" is a symptom of a diseased, secretive culture.
"The highest standards of propriety and accuracy"
Haringey's website has a page headed: Setting the Record Straight. It includes this paragraph.
"But in spite of our best efforts, media reports are not always accurate. People have a right to reliable information, just as we have a duty to provide it. That is why we introduced this section to the site. The information we provide is subject to a Code of Conduct under the Local Government Act 1986. This means we are bound by the highest standards of propriety and accuracy in providing information.
My request to Dr Ita O'Donovan
In the spirit of these golden words on Haringey's website, on 28 April 2009 I wrote to Dr Ita O'Donovan, then Haringey's Chief Executive. I asked for her help in getting the laminated cards replaced with notices which were simple, clear and truthful.
I proposed the wording: "We are correcting some errors in the existing white and yellow traffic lines and repainting lines which are faded". I suggested that the words: "We apologise for any inconvenience", would have been welcome.
Dr O'Donovan's reply on 14 May, over two weeks later, was almost wholly negative. She wrote:
"I have looked into this matter as you have requested. I feel that there is little difference in the message of the notice currently being used and that which you propose. Given that these works are due to be completed within the next two weeks I do not feel it would be an effective use of the Council’s scarce resources to reprint and put up fresh notices."
"The work itself will result in minimal inconvenience to residents but I do accept that an apology for any inconvenience could have been included on the signs. I will arrange for this to be included in any future signs of this nature."
I emailed back, agreeing with Dr O'Donovan that it was by then too late and would waste resources to put up truthful signs. But I pointed out this wouldn't have been the case if she had acted immediately when I raised the problem with her.
I suggested that a few dozen laminated A3 cards and some nylon tape are not prohibitively costly. Probably no more than Haringey Council was then paying for a few minutes of the time of one of the numerous consultants it then employed.
I quoted the words of the (then) Prime Minister, Gordon Brown on 11 May 2008. "We must show we have the highest standards for our profession. And we must show that, where mistakes have been made and errors have been discovered, where wrongs have to be righted, that that is done so immediately."

A chance to understand public information
All bureaucracies try to hide behind a curtain of jargon. Local government is not immune. And this is after decades of campaigning by the Plain English Campaign with its highly prized 'Crystal Mark'.
In 1971, its founder Chrissie Maher asked: ‘Why isn’t the public given a chance to understand public information?’ She gave the answers: ‘To keep them in the dark.’ ‘To stop them claiming what is rightfully theirs.’ ‘To stop them interfering in things they wouldn’t understand’." ( Source: Chrissie Maher's book "Born To Crusade")
Though some people in local government do 'get it'.
”Without explaining what a council does in proper English then local people will fail to understand its relevance to them or why they should bother to turn out and vote. Unless information is given to people to explain why their council matters then local democracy will be threatened with extinction.”
“ . . . we can not, must not and should not hide behind impenetrable jargon and phrases. We do not pretend to be perfect, but as this list shows, we are striving to make sure that people get the chance to understand what services we provide." .
(Source: Two quotes by the late Simon Milton, then Chair of the Local Government Association.)
________________
For an individual or an organisation, admitting your mistakes can be embarrassing. It's tempting to fudge and obfuscate. Though for local councils who have had non-compliant traffic lines and signs for many years, the worry may not be public shame, but public finance. In other words, it may open the door to claims for PCNs (fines) to be repaid.

George Orwell's novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four
was first published in 1949.
Orwell wanted English written with clarity.
He said “Good prose is like a window pane”.
In his bleak fable of a totalitarian future Orwell imagined English replaced by “Newspeak”. "… the special function of certain Newspeak words … was not so much to express meanings as to destroy them.”
Sixty years later, "Newspeak" has been reinvented as "Spin", "Narrative", and other variations of deceptive and manipulative news management.
This is a close up of one of the sprimp by sister sauteed in olive oil and garlic for our shrimp dinner. She put this shrimp and many others on top of pasta with pesto sauce and sun-dried tomatoes with olives and peppers...wow was this ever delicious! I love seafood, especially shrimp.
INFORMATION ON SHRIMP
Shrimp are swimming, decapod crustaceans classified in the infraorder Caridea, found widely around the world in both fresh and salt water. Adult shrimp are filter feeding benthic animals living close to the bottom. They can live in schools and can swim rapidly backwards. Shrimp are an important food source for larger animals from fish to whales. They have a high resistance to toxins in polluted areas, and may contribute to high toxin levels in their predators. Together with prawns, shrimp are widely caught and farmed for human consumption.
Etymology: The term shrimp originated around the 14th century with the Middle English shrimpe, akin to the Middle Low German schrempen, and meaning to contract or wrinkle; and the Old Norse skorpna, meaning to shrivel up.
While in biological terms shrimps and prawns belong to a different suborders of Decapoda, they are very similar in appearance. In commercial farming and fisheries the terms shrimp and prawn are often used interchangeably. However, recent aquaculture literature increasingly uses the term "prawn" only for the freshwater forms of palaemonids and "shrimp" for the marine penaeids.
In European countries, particularly the United Kingdom, the word “prawn” is more common on menus than “shrimp”; while the opposite is the case in North America. The term “prawn” is also loosely used to describe any large shrimp, especially those that come 15 (or fewer) to the pound (such as “king prawns”, yet sometimes known as “jumbo shrimp”). Australia and other Commonwealth nations follow this British/European use to an even greater extent, using the word “prawn” almost exclusively. When Australian comedian Paul Hogan used the phrase, “I'll slip an extra shrimp on the barbie for you” in an American television advertisement, it was intended to make what he was saying easier for his American audience to understand, and was thus a deliberate distortion of what an Australian would typically say.
As with other seafood, shrimp is high in calcium, iodine and protein but low in food energy. A shrimp-based meal is also a significant source of cholesterol, from 122 mg to 251 mg per 100 g of shrimp, depending on the method of preparation. Shrimp consumption, however, is considered healthy for the circulatory system because the lack of significant levels of saturated fat in shrimp mean that the high cholesterol content in shrimp actually improves the ratio of LDL to HDL cholesterol and lowers triglycerides. Shrimp and other shellfish are among the most common food allergens. They are not kosher and thus are forbidden in Jewish cuisine.

Ayer Euglena spirogyra nos contó en su silencio, anclada sobre el lecho de la laguna, algo acerca de la magia de los números y de un talismán eterno, vida que en definitiva es amor. Y hoy, aparece Phacus, belleza de joya, primo carnal de Euglena spirogyra, a revelarnos cosas acerca de los secretos de la forma y del color.
Los colores y las formas en la Naturaleza son claves de supervivencia y no son otra cosa que amor esencial a la vida, por eso quizá en su raíz más honda siempre inspiran belleza.
Phacus torta reúne como en un tesoro de joyas engastadas tres piedras preciosas que le dan la vida. La más pequeña de todas es un rubí, rojo de sangre, es su guía y su norte que siempre le lleva hacia la luz, ojo minúsculo que en amor ciego persigue al sol, sol que le da la vida. La joya mediana es perla, burbuja de brillo nacarado situada en el corazón, que atesora para los tiempos difíciles las reservas que son necesarias también para vivir, bolita de paramilo, fruto de Sol. El verde se reparte en el interior de Phacus en forma de gemas de esmeralda clorofila, sin esta tercera joya, no habría vida, Phacus no podría beber de la fuente del Sol y moriría de desamor.
La forma de Phacus torta es la de un corazón hecho hoja, que jugueteando con él mismo se retuerce y gira en espiral, ▷ gira por fuera el verde del mismo modo que por dentro giran en Spirogyra estas trenzas de color y, así, el movimiento de giro de Phacus tortus hace que el amor del sol se reparta por igual en todo el cuerpo y que esto haga más fácil la vida.
La espiral asegura la igualdad de oportunidades y una distribución justa de luz, por eso, Phacus torta gira y gira ▷ mientras se mueve y mientras, al lado, otras espirales, las de Spirogyra giran y giran estáticas en el interior, para recibir ese baño de luz generosa, que es la luz de la vida que el Sol da en su amor.
Colores y forma, misterio y belleza que la madre Naturaleza siembra aquí y allá en continua generosidad.
Gracias a Ro, a este canto de amor se une otro canto de humor y alegría desde la música de Jorge Ben ¡¡ gracias Ro!!
Phacus torta quizá contagiado por la alegría de esa música gira como Spirogyra lo hace por dentro en las aguas de las lagunas…y baila así, en espirales , sobre la superficie de charchas y lagos de las lagunas limpias. En este caso en las de las muestras recogidas hace unos días en la Laguna de las Sanguijuelas, junto a Vigo de Sanabria, en el incomparable marco del zamorano Lago de Sanabria. Phacus torta Ha sido fotografiado a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia .

AUTO PILEN / ARTEC / AHC DOORKEY
[ Brief history
of Companies Interconnexions ]
"Auto Pilen was a diecast line of model cars made in Ibi, Alicante, in southeastern Spain by Pilen S.A..
Models were produced from the 1970s through the mid-1990s mostly in 1:43 scale.
A majority of the castings were inherited from French Dinky.
The company was started in the 1960s, diecasting items like colorful metal sailboats and key chains.
In the late 1980s. Pilen was apparently bought by AHC of the Netherlands.
Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_Pilen
(...)
"Pilen ceased its production in 1983, but only 5 years later, in 1988, the company was reborn with the new name Artec.
In the first catalogues from Artec, there is still place for the Pilen logo, meaning that both companies are really the same one, or at least, that Artec is the successor of Pilen."

"Around 1980 there was a Pilen connection with Holland OTO, which had taken over Dutch Efsi Toys. A 1980 Auto Pilen catalog shows many of the revered Efsi vehicles like the Model T series and many Efsi trucks continued as a line Pilen 1980 (Bras 2012).
Around 1990, there was also a connection with the Dutch diecast company AHC, which appears to have bought Holland Oto and thus Auto Pilen (Bickford 2009).
AHC has since shared dies and traditionally Pilen stamped cars can be found in both AHC and Holland OTO labeled boxes (Bickford 2009; Johnson 1998, p. 15)."
AHC, however, usually produced Volvos, of which Pilen only had a few: the DAF based 66, the 480 Turbo, and the 460 and 850 sedans - most of these appear to have been developed first by AHC models before they were reverse marketed - and then also later sold as Pilens - some of which were made in Spain.
Some of these Volvos also appear to have been sold as promotional models. There were also some Nissans made by AHC/Doorkey packaged as Pilens (Bickford 2009).
With the bankruptcy of Doorkey in the early 1990s, Auto Pilen disappeared. The last new models with the Pilen name appeared at this time. "

SEAT Toledo
"El SEAT Toledo es un automóvil del segmento C producido por el fabricante español SEAT desde el año 1991 hasta 2009 y desde 2012 en adelante.
Su nombre le viene dado por la ciudad española de Toledo perteneciente a Castilla-La Mancha.
El Toledo abarca cuatro generaciones, las dos primeras diseñadas por Giorgetto Giugiaro, la tercera por Walter de Silva y la cuarta por Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos.
Todas comparten elementos mecánicos y estructurales con otros modelos del Grupo Volkswagen.
Fue el primer automóvil de SEAT desarrollado completamente bajo la influencia de Volkswagen (que había adquirido un 51% de las acciones de la marca española en 1986) estrenando un nuevo segmento dentro del mercado español: el de los vehículos con apariencia de berlina pero dotados de un portón trasero.
El modelo fue presentado en el Salón del Automóvil de Barcelona de 1991.
En dicho salón también se presentó el libro ¡Olé Toledo!, escrito y firmado en el acto por Edourd Seidler, que siguió de cerca todo el proyecto del modelo.
El rey Juan Carlos I presidió la inauguración oficial del SEAT Toledo en un acto celebrado en el parador nacional de la ciudad de Toledo.
El Toledo es la berlina media de SEAT con motor delantero transversal y tracción delantera."

SEAT Toledo I
Primera generación (1991-1998)
"La primera generación del Toledo (1L) se empezó a comercializar en octubre de 1991. La producción del modelo empezó en la antigua fábrica de la Zona Franca de Barcelona hasta que, en 1993, cuando se inaugura la planta de Martorell, el Toledo se empieza a trasladar allí para su fabricación. Fue el primer modelo de SEAT en ser desarrollado en cooperación con el Grupo Volkswagen (denominado Proyecto S3).
En un principio se iba a desarrollar bajo la plataforma del Volkswagen Passat B3, del cual se empezaría a realizar la primera maqueta, pero se descartó por los costes de producción. Al final se desarrolló bajo la plataforma "A2" (PQ32) de la segunda generación del Volkswagen Golf existente, con carrocería hatchback de tres y cinco puertas, y de los modelos (Volkswagen Jetta)..."
(...)
"El Toledo de la primera generación fue diseñado por Giorgetto Giugiaro..."
(...)
"Se deseaba un modelo superior al SEAT Málaga, que había quedado ya algo anticuado con respecto a la competencia, y darle una nueva imagen a la marca con un modelo de aspecto moderno con unas generosas dimensiones el cual seria el buque insignia de SEAT.
Fue posicionado deliberadamente entre los segmentos C (por plataforma) y D (por soluciones técnicas y "empaque"). Algunos de sus rivales eran el Fiat Tempra, en el segmento C, y las versiones básicas del Ford Sierra, el Opel Vectra y el Renault 21, con las que competía con ventaja en equipamiento."
(...)
Motorizaciones
"Desaparecen los motores System Porsche que estaba utilizando SEAT y empiezan a utilizar las mecánicas de Volkswagen, denominadas desde la marca SEAT como "Econosport".
Las motorizaciones fueron:
Gasolina con injetion (Mono-Jetronic)
- Cuatro de gasolina de cuatro cilindros, un 1.6 litros de 75 CV de potencia máxima, un 1.8 litros de 90 CV, un 2.0 litros Digifant de 115 CV(disponible con cambio automático) y un 1.8 litros de 16V de 136 CV y con catalizador 128 CV asociado únicamente al nivel de equipamiento GT. Más tarde se agregó a la gama el 2.0-16v, que desarrollaba 150 CV de potencia máxima como tope de gama (sustituyendo al 1.8i 16v).
- Al final de su vida comercial la gama de motores gasolina se redujo únicamente a un 1.6 litros de 100 CV y un 2.0 16V de 150 CV de potencia máxima.
Diésel
- Las mecánicas diésel eran un 1.9 litros atmosférico de 68 CV (que más tarde se redujeron a 64 para cumplir las normativas anticontaminación) o con turbocompresor y 75 CV.
- La novedad más importante fue la introducción de las mecánicas turbo diésel con inyección directa de combustible, ya existentes en otros modelos del Grupo Volkswagen: el 1.9 TDI de 90 CV y, posteriormente, de 110 CV.
Las motorizaciones incluían ya el starter automático, excepto las primeras motorizaciones diésel, que lo tenían manual hasta el año 1994."
(...)
---------------------------
[ El Seat Toledo I tuvo 2 fases en su evolución, la 1ª Fase presentada en 1991, y una 2ª Fase (restyling) presentada en 1995 ] :
- 1ª Fase [ 1991-1995 ]
"SEAT presentó el automóvil bajo el eslogan "Para un mundo exigente".
En su primera fase contaba con 4 acabados: CL, GL, GLX y GT/GT16v.
Luego llegarían versiones especiales como la Sport/Sport 2000 (1992-1993); alguno de los extras que al principio eran opcionales (OP) más adelante se incluirán de serie."
(...)
"En el Salón de Oporto de 1994 se presenta el acabado 2.0-16v, que sustituye al GT-16v. y un nuevo diseño del el interior para toda la gama, como el salpicadero con detalles en gris Champagne, rediseño de los paneles interiores de las puertas, nuevos asientos con nuevas tapicerías, manetas de los mandos (luces/limpia) y algún que otro pequeño detalle. También se incluye el airbag en opcional para conductor y acompañante para las versiones altas de gama.
En mayo de 1995 sufre unas pequeñas modificaciones que afectan al exterior.
Las calandras pasan a ser del color de la carrocería en todos los acabados. Los faros traseros pasan a ser combinados, los de la marcha atrás blanca de (CL, GL y Sport) con los intermitentes rosados de (GLX, GT y 2.0i-16v). Los faros pierden las inscripciones Toledo y el acabado, siendo sustituidos por unos anagramas cromáticos ubicados en el portón debajo de los faros con las inscripciones SEAT a la izquierda y Toledo a la derecha, se le añaden taloneras a todas las versiones el cual integraran una chapita con el acabado del modelo. Los retrovisores tendrán un brazo algo más curvo y pasarán de ser abatibles a ser plegables además de incluir en el espejo del conductor una línea vertical central para el ángulo de punto muerto."
(...)
- 2ª Fase [ 1995-1998 ]
"En el Salón de Fránkfurt de 1995 se presentó una reestilización del SEAT Toledo que llegaría al mercado en septiembre/octubre ese mismo año, en la que se modificó la gama de motorizaciones y la apariencia.
Se le añadieron unos parachoques más redondeados, nuevos faros y nueva calandra.
En el interior heredaría el último diseño pero con nuevas tapicerías, el inmovilizador y luces de cortesía con temporizador y apagado progresivo, el doble airbag (de conductor y acompañante) y nuevos elementos de seguridad como los pretensores de los cinturones y la tercera luz de freno.
En el equipamiento se incluyeron pequeñas mejoras, como la preinstalación del Tempomat (control de crucero) y el Komfortblinker (poner intermitente con un toque), exclusivamente en los modelos con motorizaciones TDI, esta novedad no era muy conocida pues se trataba de un extra que solo se incluiría su instalación realizada bajo concesionario oficial, aprovechando que el grupo había empezado a incluir esta función en más modelos de la marca, con solo cambiar la maneta izquierda, que era aparentemente la misma con la diferencia de incluir unos pequeños mandos para su manejo y activar la función con el VAG.COM.
La primera generación del SEAT Toledo se dejó de producir a finales de 1998 pero se estuvo vendiendo hasta marzo de 1999, junto con la segunda generación, de finales de 1998."

I spent 3 hours at the Missouri Botanical Garden this morning. . . and, as is typical, came home with 250 shots.
That means a lot of work and time going through them, deleting them down to about the 50 best, and then processing them. I just got started when I got this result, (partially a happy accident) and I thought it was an exciting image, so I wanted to share it with my friends here on flickr.
It is a slightly missaligned 3-shot High Dynamic Range (hdr) image of a waterlily and its reflection. The water was somewhat dirty, but I liked the resulting texture. I turned it sideways, and that hopefully adds to the interest, because it then isn't automatically seen as a waterlily and it's reflection.

No voy al mar en este ancho verano
cubierto de calor, no voy más lejos
de los muros, las puertas y las grietas
que circundan las vidas y mi vida.
En qué distancia, frente a cuál ventana,
en qué estación de trenes
dejé olvidado el mar y allí quedamos,
yo dando las espaldas a lo que amo
mientras allá seguía la batalla
de blanco y verde y piedra y centelleo.
Así fue, así parece que así fue:
cambian las vidas, y el que va muriendo
no sabe que esa parte de la vida,
esa nota mayor, esa abundancia
de cólera y fulgor quedaron lejos,
te fueron ciegamente cercenadas.
No, yo me niego al mar desconocido,
muerto, rodeado de ciudades tristes,
mar cuyas olas no saben matar,
ni cargarse de sal y de sonido:
Yo quiero el mío mar, la artillería
del océano golpeando las orillas,
aquel derrumbe insigne de turquesas,
la espuma donde muere el poderío.
No salgo al mar este verano: estoy
encerrado, enterrado, y a lo largo
del túnel que me lleva prisionero
oigo remotamente un trueno verde,
un cataclismo de botellas rotas,
un susurro de sal y de agonía.
Es el libertador. Es el océano,
lejos, allá, en mi patria, que me espera.

This unusual and vacant home is here in University Place, not too far from Day Island. The people who used to live there certainly had an affinity for "gingerbread" trim and "Little Dutch Boy/Girl" cutout designs. I don't think I have ever seen anything quite like it. They even had a matching structure that to me looks like a playhouse in the yard. It looks like a cinderblock home and from what my mother said was seen more in the 40's around here than the 50's. Regardless, I found this home totally fascinating from a photographic point of view. I chose to shoot this as an HDR using 3 different exposures. After tonemapping I worked with it further in Photoshop Elements 3, adding an Orton technique for more "kitschiness". The wet, rainy and windy weather added to the depressed mood I got from this abandoned home.
This is a hand-held, 3 exposure, (-2ev, 0ev, +2ev) HDR, processed and tonemapped with Photomatix and further processed with PhotoShop Elements 3 and Microsoft's Picture It! Premium 10.
Searles Boatyard, Jenkins Street, Port Adelaide.
Searles boatyard, slipway and walkway at Port Adelaide. Morning sun reflecting off the Naval Cadet Yard on the left; Adelaide Brighton Cement can be seen in the background on the right. 170 years of shipwright history will be bulldozed to make way for the most innovative harbour front development in Australia.
The National Trust, however, thinks the boatyards should be preserved: From the earliest settlement of South Australia, Port Adelaide was crucially important not only as a place for the import and export of cargo and the transit of people, but also for the construction and servicing of boats and ships. Maintaining marine vessels was vital in order to sustain trade and communication with the other Australian colonies, Britain (the transplanting society) and the world at large. Without marine industries South Australia would not have survived.
It is a practical necessity for boat yards to be located on the shore of the waters they serve. The most suitable area in Port Adelaide for operating boat yards was the muddy, gently sloping mangrove swamp on the northern side of Gawler Reach, where the topography and orientation favoured the building, slipping and repair of boats without interrupting the other activities of the working port.
In 1876 the Adelaide Observer noted that “the whole of the side of the river down to McAllen’s yards [east of the present Birkenhead Bridge at Cruickshank’s Corner] is tenanted by ship artisans”.
Searles Boatyard, A McFarlane and Sons and the Central Slipping Company [[were]] rare survivals of the continuous maritime activity in Jenkins Street, Birkenhead, while the Sailing Club buildings [[were]] a physical reminder of the pleasurable side of boating.

Hopkin's Crabs — If you're looking for an old school, straight from the bay, mom and pop, backwoods crab shack, this is the deal. These people are literally in the middle of the woods, right off of the Susquehanna River on Route 222 and truly the epitome of a simple family operation existing on this earth for one mission and one mission only - to steam the best blue crab just as their pappy did generations ago.
The "structure" is a run down concession stand with picnic benches strewn about the grounds in front. The crabs are offered in varying sizes with their homemade Old Bay seasoning, wrapped in newspaper and served on cardboard case trays.
