Bap Colognian (Kölsch) pronunciation: [/bap/] is a German rock group. With ten albums reaching the number one in the German record charts, Bap is one of the most successful rock acts in their home country.
Nearly all of Bap's lyrics are written in Kölsch, the dialect of Cologne, or more precisely in a Kölsch-influenced derivation of Eifelplatt, a regional variant of the Ripuarian language spoken in the nearby rural Eifel. Niedecken's most prominent musical influences, especially early in his career, were Bob Dylan, the Kinks, Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, and Wolfgang Ambros.
The group was founded in 1976 under the name Wolfgang Niedecken's Bap in Cologne, Germany by Wolfgang Niedecken and Hans Heres. In 1981 they released their most famous song "Verdamp lang her" (English: Damn long time ago), in which Niedecken describes regrets he has about his relationship with his then recently deceased father. The band's name "BAP" derived from "BAPP", both, a play-on-words on the Kölsch word "Papp" (related to the German word Papa for dad), but pronounced differently, and Niedecken's then-times nickname. BAP ist eine Kölschrockband um den Frontmann Wolfgang Niedecken und gilt als eine der erfolgreichsten Rockbands deutscher Sprache. Von den 23 BAP-Alben erreichten 19 die Top 10, zehn wurden sogar Nummer 1 der Charts.Die Gruppe um Sänger und Songschreiber Wolfgang Niedecken besteht seit 1976. Die Band traf sich zu Beginn in wechselnder Besetzung, um „einen Kasten Bier leerzuproben“.[1] Der erste Auftritt erfolgte 1977 im Mariensaal in Köln-Nippes mit zwei akustischen Gitarren (Wolfgang Niedecken, Hans Heres) und Perkussion (Afro Bauermann). Das erste Album, Wolfgang Niedecken's BAP rockt andere kölsche Leeder. erschien 1979, die Band bestand zu dieser Zeit aus Wolfgang Niedecken, Hans „Honçe“ Heres, Wolfgang „Gröön“ Klever, Manfred „Schmal“ Boecker, Wolfgang „Wolli“ Boecker und Bernd Odenthal. Die zweite LP Affjetaut folgte 1980, wie die Debüt-Platte noch unter der Bezeichnung „Wolfgang Niedeckens BAP“, da Niedecken sich bereits als Solo-Künstler mit Gitarre und Mundharmonika als „Bob Dylan der Südstadt“ einen Namen gemacht hatte; beide Platten wurden noch beim Kölner Independent-Label Eigelstein Musikproduktion veröffentlicht.
Der Bandname BAP entstand aus Niedeckens Spitzname, der seinen Vater so nannte. Diese Aussprache entstammt der Herkunft der Familie aus Rheinland-Pfalz, und weil sie vom kölschen „Pap“ abwich, entstand so Niedeckens Spitzname.[2] Als ein erster Auftritt geplant wurde, für den mit einem Plakat geworben werden sollte, musste ein Bandname erdacht werden. Hans Heres schlug dem Veranstalter vor, „BAPP“ zu nehmen.[3] Da sich die Bandmitglieder aber einig waren, dass „BAPP“ – mit zwei „P“ geschrieben – auf der Bassdrum nicht gut aussah, wurde einfach ein „P“ gestrichen.[4]
Der musikalische und inhaltliche Stil der BAP-Songs wird wesentlich von Bob Dylan, den Kinks und den Rolling Stones geprägt. Auch Bruce Springsteen, mit dem Sänger Wolfgang Niedecken eine persönliche Freundschaft verbindet, gilt als wichtiger Orientierungspunkt für BAP. Verschiedene BAP-Lieder, vor allem melancholische (z. B. Helfe kann dir keiner, Paar Daach fröher) zeigen in den Arrangements und der Stimmung deutliche Ähnlichkeiten mit Stücken von Wolfgang Ambros, etwa von dessen Album 19 Class A Numbers. Die Texte beschäftigen sich oft mit gesellschaftlichen oder persönlichen Problemen.1979 fanden unter dem Bandnamen "Wolfgang Niedeckens BAP" erste Auftritte außerhalb von Köln und der näheren Umgebung statt; so zum Beispiel auch anlässlich der Bundesgartenschau 1979 in der Bonner Rheinaue.[5] Im Mai 1982 machte BAP ihre erste professionell organisierte Deutschlandtournee. Im Mittelpunkt standen Songs des aktuellen Albums Für Usszeschnigge, das 1981 als erstes beim Major-Label EMI-Electrola erschienen war. Für den Wechsel von Eigelstein zur EMI mussten BAP in der lokalen Kultur-Szene viel Kritik einstecken, wurden jedoch mit Platz 1 in den deutschen Album-Charts prompt belohnt.
Im Sommer 1982 folgten verschiedene Auftritte im Rahmen von Großveranstaltungen und Fernsehproduktionen: Rockpop In Concert für das ZDF in der Dortmunder Westfalenhalle 1, Demonstration gegen die Nachrüstung der NATO am 10. Juni 1982 (Zehnter Juni) auf den Bonner Rheinwiesen, Vorprogramm der Rolling Stones am 4. und 5. Juli 1982 im Müngersdorfer Stadion in Köln und als erste deutsche Band bei einem Festival des WDR-Rockpalast am 28. August 1982 auf der Loreley-Freilichtbühne.
Nach Erscheinen des vierten Albums Vun drinne noh drusse war die Band zwischen Oktober 1982 und Oktober 1983 sieben Monate lang unterwegs. Neben Deutschland standen auch Konzerte in Österreich, der Schweiz und den Benelux-Ländern auf dem Programm. Insgesamt wurden etwa 130 Auftritte gespielt. Die Tournee endete mit einem Konzert im Kölner „Stollwerck“. Das vom Abriss bedrohte Bürgerhaus Stollwerck erhielt die Einnahmen dieses Konzerts zur Finanzierung seiner weiteren Arbeit. Am 28. Mai 1983 spielte BAP auf einem Festival im niedersächsischen Schüttorf im Vorprogramm von Rod Stewart und am 22. Oktober 1983 auf einer weiteren Großdemonstration gegen die NATO-Nachrüstung im Bonner Hofgarten.
Für den Januar 1984 war – nach langen Verhandlungen mit der staatlichen Künstleragentur – eine Tournee mit 14 Konzerten in 13 Städten der DDR geplant. Im Vorfeld der Tour zeichnete das DDR-Fernsehen ein Interview mit Wolfgang Niedecken inklusive zweier Unplugged-Versionen von BAP-Liedern auf. Dieses wurde später jedoch sinnentstellend verkürzt gesendet. So entschloss sich Niedecken, einige politische Statements, die der Band wichtig waren, in einem eigenen Lied darzustellen. Es wurde als Deshalv spill’ mer he betitelt und erstmals auf dem letzten „West-Konzert“ vor der Tour in Wolfsburg gespielt. Als die Band bereits in Ost-Berlin im Hotel Unter den Linden war, gab es am Vorabend des ersten Konzerts heftige Auseinandersetzungen über dieses Lied mit der DDR-Seite. Als die Band sich weigerte, es von der Setlist zu nehmen, kam es zum Eklat. Die Tournee wurde abgebrochen, bevor das erste Konzert auf dem Boden der DDR gespielt werden konnte. In einer Sendung des DDR-Fernsehens war die Ansage eines Moderators während eines Konzerts im Berliner Palast der Republik zu sehen, zu dem BAP geladen war. Er nannte als Begründung ihrer Absage, die Band wolle „nicht unter dem Symbol der weißen Taube auf blauem Grund auftreten“.[6]
Die Tournee zum Album Zwesche Salzjebäck un Bier begann am 15. und 16. Juni 1984 mit zwei Konzerten im Archäologischen Park in Xanten. Sie wurden vom ZDF aufgezeichnet und später in einer Zusammenfassung gesendet. Die Tour dauerte bis zum Februar 1985 und übertraf von der Zuschauerresonanz her noch die von 1982/83.
Am 2. März 1986 begann in Lohmar bei Köln die Tournee Ahl Männer, aalglatt. BAP spielte zunächst einige Konzerte im ländlichen Raum, bevor die Band am 15. März 1986 in der Essener Grugahalle bei der 17. und letzten Rocknacht des WDR-Rockpalast auftrat. Die Rocknacht, bei der auch Jackson Browne und Big Country auftraten, wurde wie schon das Festival auf der Loreley 1982 via Eurovision von vielen europäischen Radio- und Fernsehstationen ausgestrahlt.
Von April bis Juli folgten zahlreiche weitere Konzerte. Wegen der anhaltenden Popularität wurden teilweise auch größere Hallen ausgewählt. So fanden die „Heimspiele“ der Kölner Band erstmals in der bis zu 8000 Zuschauer fassenden Kölner Sporthalle, der damals größten Veranstaltungshalle der Domstadt, statt. Bei dieser Tournee gab es mit Christian Schneider erstmals auf einer Tournee einen Gastmusiker, weil die zum Teil sehr komplexen Keyboard-Arrangements des neuen Albums live mit nur einem Keyboarder nicht zu realisieren gewesen wären. Schneider spielte neben Keyboards bei einigen Stücken auch Saxophon. Den letzten Auftritt der Tour absolvierte die Band am 26. Juli 1986; genau drei Monate nach der Atomreaktor-Katastrophe von Tschernobyl auf dem legendären Anti-WAAhnsinns-Festival gegen die Wiederaufbereitungsanlage von Wackersdorf in Burglengenfeld.
Nach Ende der Tournee 1986 legte BAP eine kreative Pause ein (u. a. bedingt durch bandinterne, künstlerische Meinungsverschiedenheiten), die Wolfgang Niedecken zur Veröffentlichung seines Albums Schlagzeiten und zu einigen Solo-Konzerten nutzte. BAP stand erst im September 1987 bei zwei Festivals wieder auf der Bühne, um sich auf eine Tournee durch China vorzubereiten. Diese Tournee ist im Buch BAP övver China dokumentiert.
Das Album Da Capo wurde von Oktober bis Dezember 1988 zunächst bei einer ausgedehnten Hallentournee präsentiert. Bei dieser Tournee legte BAP die Scheu vor den ganz großen Konzertarenen endgültig ab. So standen auch die Frankfurter Festhalle und die Münchener Olympiahalle auf dem Programm. Im Sommer 1989 folgten weitere Konzerte, teilweise auch im Rahmen von Festivals gemeinsam mit Joe Cocker. Eines dieser Events fand in der Berliner Waldbühne statt.
Auch die Tournee 1991 wurde in mehreren Teilen durchgeführt. Kurz nach der Vollendung der deutschen Einheit standen im Januar 1991 zunächst die ersten Konzerte der Band auf dem Gebiet der ehemaligen DDR auf dem Programm. Anschließend ging BAP in Westdeutschland auf Club-Tour und absolvierte eine Reihe von Auftritten in beschaulichem Rahmen, zumeist in kleinen Hallen. Das Konzert im Kölner E-Werk wurde aufgezeichnet und später auf dem Album Live – Affrocke veröffentlicht.
Im Mai und Juni 1991 folgte eine Tournee ausschließlich durch die größten deutschen Konzerthallen und bei verschiedenen Open-Air-Festivals. Als Gast bei den Konzerten trat Julian Dawson auf. Am 26. Januar 1994 startete die Tournee zum im August 1993 erschienenen Album Pik Sibbe. Nach wie vor war die Nachfrage in der BAP-Hochburg Köln groß, in einigen anderen Städten blieben die Zuschauerzahlen etwas hinter den Erwartungen zurück. Die folgende Tournee zum Album Amerika begann im November 1996. Der Tourneestart in Koblenz wurde für den WDR-Rockpalast mitgeschnitten und später im Fernsehen ausgestrahlt.
Mit dem Ausstieg von Bassist Steve Borg und von Gründungsmitglied Manfred „Schmal“ Boecker verließen zwei Musiker die Band, die BAP über viele Jahre mitgeprägt haben. 1999 stieg auch Gitarrist Klaus „Major“ Heuser aus, der während 19 Jahren Bandmitgliedschaft die überwiegende Zahl der Lieder komponierte. Außerdem verließ Keyboarder Alexander „Effendi“ Büchel die Firma BAP. Diese Abgänge und die darauf folgenden Neubesetzungen veränderten den musikalischen Ausdruck von BAP nachhaltig.
Zu den Gründen für den Ausstieg von Major sagt Wolfgang Niedecken rückblickend im März 2011:
„Der Major ist ein toller Gitarrist. Aber er wollte, dass BAP international ausgerichteten Radio-Pop spielt. Ich wollte beim Kölsch-Rock bleiben. Beide Positionen waren nicht vereinbar. Ich bin ihm dankbar, dass er selbst gegangen ist. Ich hätte ihn nämlich nie rausgeschmissen.[7]“
Als Neuzugang an den Keyboards stieg Michael Nass bei BAP ein, der zuvor in den 1980er Jahren in der DDR-Musikszene musikalisch sehr aktiv war, u. a. bei P 16 und später in Liselotte Rezniceks Frauenband Mona Lise. Gitarrist wurde Helmut Krumminga. Im Sommer 2001 gab BAP vor der eigentlichen Aff un zo-Tour ab Herbst 2001 zwei Vorabkonzerte, darunter das „Konzert an der toten Brücke“ (Soda-Brücke) in Euskirchen, das auch vom WDR aufgezeichnet und wenige Tage später in der Sendung Rockpalast gesendet wurde. Das Album selbst stieg wie der Vorgänger Tonfilm auf Platz 1 in die deutschen Charts ein.
Im Januar 2006 war die Kölnarena zwar anlässlich des Starts der Jubiläumskonzerte zum 30-jährigen Bestehen der Band mit 25.000 Zuschauern an zwei aufeinander folgenden Tagen fast ausverkauft. Bei anderen Auftritten hatte man sich von vorneherein durch die Wahl kleinerer Konzertorte angepasst.
Auch das im Mai 2008 erschienene Album Radio Pandora stieg auf Platz 1 in die deutschen Charts ein. Im Winter 2008 startete die Tournee dazu, am 2. Weihnachtstag gab es das Heimspiel in der Köln-Arena (Lanxess-Arena); sie dauerte (mit Unterbrechungen) bis zum Sommer 2009, wobei die Band von Anne de Wolff (Violine, Bratsche, Gesang) und teilweise von Rhani Krija (Percussion) begleitet wurde.
Für November 2011 war der Start der aktuellsten Tournee geplant. Aufgrund einer schweren Erkrankung Wolfgang Niedeckens wurde der Start der Tour auf Anfang Mai 2012 verschoben.[8][9][10]
Auslandsauftritte [Bearbeiten]
BAP ist im Laufe der bisher 35-jährigen Bandgeschichte in vielen Ländern der Welt aufgetreten. Nachdem sich die Bandmitglieder anfangs kaum vorstellen konnten, dass ihre kölschen Texte außerhalb des Rheinlandes verstanden würden, durften sie erleben, dass ihre Platten weit darüber hinaus gekauft wurden. Tourneen waren dadurch auch im Ausland möglich.
Die ersten Auftritte außerhalb Deutschlands waren im Dezember 1982 in der Schweiz (Basel und St.Gallen)[11] und bis Mitte der 1980er Jahre in Österreich, Luxemburg, Belgien und Dänemark (Roskilde-Festival). Seitdem gehören Auftritte in diesen Nachbarländern zum Bestandteil jeder Tournee.
Spätere Fernreisen wurden zumeist als Begleitung zu künstlerischen oder politischen Themen organisiert; häufig war nicht die komplette Gruppe unterwegs; manchmal auch nur Wolfgang Niedecken alleine oder in Begleitung von Musikern seiner Solo-Projekte:
Mit einigen Gästen tourte BAP im Oktober 1987 vier Wochen durch China. Acht Auftritte wurden in Peking, Shanghai und Kanton absolviert.[12]
Wolfgang Niedecken spielte 1987 auf Einladung der Kulturstiftung Casa de los tres Mundos (ein Projekt des Schauspielers Dietmar Schönherr, des Produzenten Peter Reichelt und des Kulturministers Ernesto Cardenal) mit seiner Complizen-Band in Nicaragua.
In ähnlicher Zusammensetzung spielten Wolfgang Niedecken & Complizen 1988 in Mosambik eine kleine Tour.
Die politischen Veränderungen in der Sowjetunion unter Gorbatschow machten es möglich, dass BAP im Mai 1989 je drei Konzerte in Moskau und Wolgograd gab.[13] Dort kamen die Musiker auch mit Fans aus der DDR ins Gespräch. Nachdem die BAP-Tour durch Ostdeutschland 1984 abgesagt wurde, war der Umweg über die UdSSR die einzige Möglichkeit, als DDR-Bürger mit der Band zu sprechen.

Sumergidas como las ánforas griegas, fenicias, romanas o las de cualquier otro pueblo que navegó por el Mediterráneo, dos pequeñas ánforas hermanas han sido nuestro hallazgo para hoy, más pequeñas que las de barro, modeladas y talladas en cristal, acaso tan hermosas y también con tantos misterios escondidos y muchas historias que contar…estas dos pequeñas ánforas son de tierra adentro, de agua dulce y están rellenas, no de vino, ni de aceite, ni de uvas ni de olivas pero sí de otros jugos de la vida.
Son dos diatomeas ánfora, Amphora ovalis, con su verdoso interior de cloroplasto y dos gotitas de grasa que son su salvavidas y las mantienen en equilibrio cerca de la superficie, próximas a la luz.
Cuando las diatomeas se multiplican, su caja de estuche se abre por la mitad para reconstruir la parte que les falta, y para que encaje, fabrican una mitad un poco más pequeña, y así, división tras división el tamaño va disminuyendo progresivamente generación tras generación, hasta que la talla se ve tan disminuida que constituye un inconveniente. Es entonces cuando las diatomeas, cambian de comportamiento y optan por un proceso de reproducción sexual que originará no diatomeas sino unas esporas especiales, las auxosporas. Estas auxosporas harán nacer diatomeas de talla grande. Y aquí tenemos a las dos, a una recién nacida y a otra con larga experiencia.
Un segundo secreto bien guardado y estudiado parcialmente en Amphora ovalis es que a ritmo de luz asciende a la superficie del agua para volver a descender, quizá para descansar, repitiendo estos movimientos de ascenso y descenso un par de veces a lo largo del día, igual que los girasoles tuercen su cuello para seguir al sol. En Amphora es la fuerza de gravedad de la Tierra la que parece influir en su descenso y el sol la que tira de ella como queriéndola llevar fuera. Y así, Amphora, en movimiento lento y continuo se reparte entre el fondo y las aguas someras.
Estas ánforas tan especiales parecen vivir en cualquier tipo de aguas y aunque está escrito que son sensibles a la contaminación, en estas del río Foix , parecen vivir muy a gusto entre las cargas de sales y de nitratos. Quizá esperen mejores tiempos de aguas más limpias y mientras tanto adornan con su presencia este pequeño río. Gracias a África la podemos ver hoy aquí fotografiada a 400 aumentos con la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

Suggested by the book Flying Saucers from Outer Space by retired U.S. Marine Corps Major Donald F. Keyhoe, this story, about an alien invasion of Earth, is highlighted by spectacular special effects by Ray Harryhausen.

Harry Lauter as Cutting - Generator Technician
Charles was always cutting out stories from newspapers and in the mid-fifties there were a spat of flying saucer sightings. Charles thought this phenomenon would make a good feature and so Earth Vs the Flying Saucers was the result.
The design of the saucers was based on what most people would expect but Ray added an animated section into the top and underside that also had flutes in them so that people could see it was moving.
The various sizes of saucers (there are seven in total) were made from aluminium by Ray’s father and then anodised giving them a matt finish so they didn’t reflect light.
Ray never liked the latex alien suits used in the film even though he designed them. He would have preferred to animate models of the aliens but because of budget restrictions this was never possible.
Instead of drawing entire storyboards for the action, Ray used location photographs and executed rough sketches on them and then mounted them for storyboards.
As with The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, a great number of the rear project plates were stills.
For all the aerial model work Ray used old recording wire on which to suspend the saucers.
The miniatures sets – The Capitol and the Supreme Court buildings cost $1500 each and the Washington Monument cost just $500. Compare those costs with today’s budgets
Earth vs. The Flying Saucers (EvFS) is the flagship of 50s sci-fi B movies. It has all the hallmarks of a typical B movie: shot in black and white, much stock footage, low-budget props, etc. That said, EvFS is still the best of its breed. The acting is good (for the most part). Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion animation of the saucers is great. His saucers have more "life" than any model on a string could attain. The basic premise of hostile aliens invading the earth with flying saucers was a classic. EvFS would be a significant influence in Tim Burton's 1996 movie Mars Attacks.
Dr. Marvin (Hugh Marlowe) heads a nascent satellite program, but all of his satellites blow up or fall from orbit. A saucer buzzes Dr. Marvin and his wife as they drive to the base. Despite a call from Dr. Marvin's father-in-law (Morris Ankrum), they launch the next rocket. A saucer descends on the base. Troops open fire. The saucer is invulnerable, but one of the robot-like aliens is hit. The other alien-bots use heat beams to destroy the base. Only Dr. Marvin and his wife escape because they were in a deep bunker. The aliens came from a defunct solar system, intent on taking over the earth. They want earthlings to surrender peacefully so their new home won't be a ruin from the battle. Mankind is defiant. The aliens give earth 56 days to think it over. The time is used, instead, to develop an anti-saucer weapon. Dr. Marvin and staff develop a magnetic disruptor which makes the saucers unstable. When the fleet of saucers finally arrive over Washington DC, a whole fleet of disrupter-beam equipped Ford flatbed trucks is there to greet them. A mighty battle rages. Saucer heat beams destroy much, but the trucks take their toll too. Saucers wobble and fall into a variety of DC landmarks, including the Washington Monument. Finally, the last saucer falls. Earth is saved! The end.
It's hard not to enjoy this classic of 50s B sci-fi. It has everything a 50 sci-fi fan loves. The acting is reasonably good, the pacing is pretty good too, so even someone who isn't a fan of the genre could be suitably entertained.
EvFS is a classic allegory of Cold War tensions. A hostile force seeks to invade and take over. In the mid-50s, the threat from communism was never far from viewers' minds. The caustic Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev would say, later in 1956 "We will bury you!" would say later. When, in the movie, the earthlings decide to fight the saucers, an Army general says: "When an armed and threatening power lands uninvited in our capitol, we don't meet him with tea and cookies!" Such was American popular sentiment towards the threat of communism.
Stock Footage Fun -- amid the usual clips of P-80s and V-2s (Checkers!) and other military clips, are stock disaster clips. Storms, fires, destruction. For the sci-fi fan, there are also snippets recycled from earlier sci-fi movies. There are battle scenes cut from War of the Worlds ('53) and The Day the Earth Stood Still ('51).
Cheap Suit -- The aliens walk about in crude robot-like suits with faceless bullet-shaped helmets. The fit and finish of these suits is quite poor when you get a good look at them.
Alien Glimpse -- The brief scene in which the real alien (head) is exposed, reveals the taxonomy that would become archetypal: big head, tapering to a small neck, large almond-shaped eyes, tiny mouth. They're also said to weigh little, being fairly weak and frail. Of the many sorts of invading aliens seen thus far in the 50s, some were simple -- men in leotards Killers from Space, if not just plain people Devil Girl from Mars and Flight to Mars and giant humanoids: The Thing. A very few hostile (or at least frightening) invaders were not humanoid: Invaders from Mars and War of the Worlds. The alien in EvFS appears to be an early showing of what would later become the presumed "true" shape of alien life forms.
Bottom line? EvFS is well worth watching. Fans of 50s sci-fi will enjoy it. Family members of fans of 50s sci-fi can tolerate it. In many ways, it is the epitome of the B grade 50s science fiction movie.
In de Poelestraat 30 is eeuwen lang het Concerthuis gevestigd, vermoedelijk ontstaan in een huis van een lid van de regentenfamilie De Sitter.

Place Ville-Marie comprises two short buildings, a tall cross-shaped one as you see here and a beautiful shopping plaza underneath this raised area. As you can see behind the sculpture, there are entrances covered by huge skylights. The sculpture is in a fountain and there are grassed squares with trees. There is of course an underground parking lot. The Place Ville-Marie shopping plaza was the start of the city's also famous underground city which now comprises of many interconnecting underground areas throughout the downtown core. The famous Queen Elizabeth Hotel can be seen in the background (right). The architecture is very simple but this hotel is a very luxurious one. Hôtel Le Reine Elizabeth

Shell description
The largest dimension of female shells is up to about 12 mm fig. 01 flic.kr/p/2kNQ7pc and males grow to 6 mm. The species has an annual life cycle; all or most adults are dead by June. Their small juvenile offspring occur in summer fig. 02 flic.kr/p/2kGH2G9 , growing to full size in winter. The body whorl forms the great majority of the shell, and the very small spire is sunk below the upper margin in most views. Juveniles are similar in form with a slightly lower spire. Sutures between the whorls are distinct. The smooth surface has no sculpture apart from numerous, growth lines.
One face of the hollow columella is missing, exposing a long wide columellar groove (lacuna, chink or canal), leading to a large funnel-like umbilicus fig. 03 flic.kr/p/2kNL1YB . On some specimens the columellar groove is indistinct and the umbilicus reduced fig. 04 flic.kr/p/2kNPCc9 and fig. 05 flic.kr/p/2oQ83ra .
The very large ‘D’ shape aperture is as high as the whole shell, and it occupies about 75% of the area in apertural-view images fig. 01 flic.kr/p/2kNQ7pc . The palatal lip is semi-circular, and it continues along the abapertural side of the columellar groove. The wide, white columellar lip forms the adapertural edge of the groove fig. 03 flic.kr/p/2kNL1YB .
The ‘D’ shape operculum is a rapidly expanding oligogyrous spiral with its off-centre nucleus close to the base of the columellar lip. It is transparent, tinted yellow fig. 04 flic.kr/p/2kNPCc9 & fig. 06 flic.kr/p/2kNL1Ut or nearly colourless fig. 05 flic.kr/p/2oQ83ra . The substantial periostracum is olive-brown with distinct growth lines on large specimens fig. 07 flic.kr/p/2kNQ773, and it usually extends beyond the lip of the aperture fig. 04 flic.kr/p/2kNPCc9 . Under the periostracum, the calcareous shell is white or yellowish white fig. 01 flic.kr/p/2kNQ7pc . Live adults with a thick opaque periostracum are olive-green/brown in water fig. 08 flic.kr/p/2kNPC3g becoming dull brown when dead and dried fig. 01 flic.kr/p/2kNQ7pc . There are no coloured bands or variegation at any stage.
Body description
The flesh is translucent white with varying amounts of yellow or pink tinting fig. 07 flic.kr/p/2kNQ773 and fig. 05 flic.kr/p/2oQ83ra . The snout is ventrally slit fig.06 flic.kr/p/2kNL1Ut and usually rolled into a cylinder fig. 09 flic.kr/p/2oQ92WM . The extended cephalic tentacles are long, smooth, translucent whitish and taper to a blunt tip. When contracted they wrinkle and any yellow tint is intensified fig. 08 flic.kr/p/2kNPC3g . There is a black eye on a slight bulge at the base of each tentacle fig. 07 flic.kr/p/2kNQ773 . The roof of the mantle cavity is whitish translucent showing the colour of the shell except for the mantle edge which is thick and sometimes yellowish fig. 09 flic.kr/p/2oQ92WM . The foot is white with varying amounts of yellow or pink fig. 07 flic.kr/p/2kNQ773 , especially on the opercular disc which supports, and is visible under and through, the transparent operculum fig. 05 flic.kr/p/2oQ83ra and fig. 09 flic.kr/p/2oQ92WM . The two small, flat metapodial tentacles protrude beyond the posterior of the operculum fig. 09 flic.kr/p/2oQ92WM .

Habits and ecology
L. pallidula feeds on the surface of Fucus serratus (Smith, 1973) and Laminaria (Lebour, 1937) near low water on rocky shores and to 70 metres depth. It is usually absent where turbidity or soft substrate prevents growth of F. serratus. It cannot survive desiccation. Some populations live in the Baltic in salinity down to 12‰.
It moves with a bipedal stepping motion, lifting alternately the right and left sides of the foot. It breeds in late winter and spring, sometimes extending into summer and autumn, with a maximum in February to May in Britain, but precise dates vary regionally. The spawn mass is a low gelatinous dome with an almost circular, oval base (not kidney-shape), diameter 3.9 mm to 5.3 mm (Lebour, 1937), laid on fronds of F. serratus or Laminaria. There are up to about 200 ova per spawn mass fig. 14 flic.kr/p/2kNQ71M . In the low salinity Øresund, Denmark, the masses are smaller with as few as 13 ova (Thorson, 1946 in Fretter & Graham, 1962).
Fretter and Graham (1962) reported confusion with the spawn of “Littorina littoralis” (the name mistakenly used formerly by British authors for an aggregate of Littorina obtusata and L. fabalis). The limited material examined for this account suggests the confusion is with L. fabalis which lives on F. serratus at the same shore level and lays similar, almost circular oval spawn masses, while L. obtusata lives higher up the shore, favouring Ascophyllum, and often lays kidney-shaped spawn masses up to 7 mm long. The difference between the spawn masses of L. fabalis and Lacuna pallidula may be that the latter has a distinctly bevelled peripheral rim while the surface of the former slopes to the substrate without a break in slope fig. 14 flic.kr/p/2kNQ71M . But more investigation is required to test these suggestions; the difference might be due to age of spawn mass. Lacuna parva also has similar spawn but it is found on red algae and is smaller, about 2.5 mm diameter with about 50 ova in Britain fig. 14 flic.kr/p/2kNQ71M ; 2.2 mm to 2.5 mm with 6 to16 ova in the brackish Øresund (Ockelmann & Nielsen, 1981 in Wigham & Graham, 2017).
The individual egg capsules of L. pallidula become angular as they swell and become crowded and compressed. There is no planktonic veliger stage; young emerge as tiny crawling snails. Through a microscope, just before hatching, two tentacular extensions of the opercular disc protruding beyond the operculum may be detected on the embryos within the clear capsules (Fretter & Graham, 1962). Males die after mating, and the females about a month later, so all or most adults breeding in the main period are dead by June or July, and few specimens over 5 mm high can be found in August fig. 02 flic.kr/p/2kGH2G9 . Both sexes grow rapidly until October. From October to February males grow slowly, but females at three times their rate so that by breeding time they are over twice as high as males (Thorson, 1946 in Fretter & Graham, 1962). When mating, the small male rides on the female’s shell near the aperture with his penis inserted into her mantle cavity 15Lp flic.kr/p/2rSk89j.
Distribution and status
L. pallidula occurs from northern Norway and Iceland to Atlantic Spain and New England (USA). GBIF map www.gbif.org/species/2301181
It is found all around Britain and Ireland, but is scarce or absent in the north-eastern Irish Sea and southern North Sea where lack of hard substrate and/or turbidity hinder the growth of Fucus serratus and Laminaria.

Probably what I like best about Oasis and particularly Noel's compositions is the fact that evethough they do have some kind of sad songs, most of their music talk about happy stuff, reasons to be happy or random (happy) things haha.
There's a quote of Noel's that made me realise this a few years ago :
"I think when people listen to our music, we tell them how good their lives could be" -Noel Gallagher-
Here, an example of what I'm saying... It's Getting Better (Man!!) is a brilliant (truly underestimated) song... Taken from the album "Be Here Now". Released in 1997.
That's a castle on my hand by the way... Had to add the sign coz it looks like... Well whatever except for a castle LOL
It's Getting Better (Man!!)
Say Something shout it from the roof tops off your head
Make it sort of mean something make me understand or I`ll forget
The people here on life`s beaches they wish upon the waves that hide the sand
Let them know that life teaches you to build a castle in the hand
Maybe the songs that we sing are wrong
Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone
So bring it on home and it wont be long
It`s getting better man!
Hey! What was that you said to me?
Just say the word and I`d be free?
And where the stars are shining bright
It`s getting better man!
And crashing in upon a wave
It`s calling out beyond the grave
And We`re the fire in the sky
We`re getting better man!
Build something build a better place and call it home
Even if it means nothing you`ll never-ever feel that you`re alone
El monumento al rey Alfonso XII es un conjunto escultórico situado casi en el centro del parque del Retiro.
En 1902 se convocó un concurso nacional para construir un monumento al rey Alfonso XII, a iniciativa de la reina madre María Cristina. El ganador fue el arquitecto José Grases Riera con un grandioso proyecto en uno de los lados mayores del Estanque del Retiro, compuesto por una gran columnata con gran número de esculturas que rodearía a la estatua ecuestre del rey, inmediata al estanque, todo ello en bronce y mármol. Al fallecer, fue sustituido en la dirección por Teodoro Anasagasti, que no introdujo modificaciones. El monumento, financiado por suscripción popular, fue inaugurado el 6 de junio de 1922.
Todo el conjunto mide 30 metros de alto, 86 metros de largo y 58 metros de ancho, y participaron en su elaboración más de veinte escultores. Fue la primera estatua conmemorativa de las que durante el pasado siglo fueron poblando los jardines: obras como las de Benlliure, Clará y Mateo Inurria entre otros.
En primer término aparece la estatua ecuestre del rey, fundida en bronce, realizada por Mariano Benlliure en 1904. En el basamento central, «La Paz» de Miquel Blay, «La Libertad» de Aniceto Marinas y «El Progreso» de Miguel Ángel Trilles. En el zócalo, tres relieves de bronce. Del monumento central avanzan unas escalinatas hacia el estanque, con cuatro leones de piedra que labraron Vallmitjana y Estany. Debajo de sus pedestales, en bronce, cuatro sirenas, obra de Parera, Atche, Coll y Alsina. También hay dos leones con amorcillos en cada uno de los accesos laterales al hemiciclo, obras de Francisco Javier Escudero Lozano, Bofill, Arnau y Campmany. A ambos lados del acceso central en la columnata, «El Ejército» de Montserrat y «La Marina» de Mateo Inurrria. En la cara interna, frente al estanque aparecen representadas, en bronce, «Las Ciencias» de Fuxá, «La Agricultura» de Alcoverro, «Las Artes» de Bilbao y «La Industria» de Clará. La ornamentación de frisos y basamento central fue realizada por Estany

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.
Yes, they were eating it.
About the Rhino
The Indian Rhinoceros or the Great One-horned Rhinoceros or the Asian One-horned Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) is a large mammal found in Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan and in Assam, India. It is confined to the tall grasslands and forests in the foothills of the Himalayas. The Indian Rhinoceros can run at speeds of up to 25 mph (40 km/h) for short periods of time and is also an excellent swimmer. It has excellent senses of hearing and smell, but relatively poor eyesight.
The Indian Rhinoceros was the first rhinoceros known to Europeans. Rhinoceros from the Greek, "rhino" meaning nose and "ceros" meaning horn. The Indian Rhinoceros is monotypic, meaning there are no distinct subspecies. Rhinoceros unicornis was the type species for the rhinoceros family, first classified by Carolus Linnaeus in 1758
Indian rhinos have few natural enemies, except for tigers. Tigers sometimes kill unguarded calves, but adult rhinos are less vulnerable due to their size. Humans are the only other animal threat, hunting the rhinoceros primarily for sport or for the use of its horn. Mynahs and egrets both eat invertebrates from the rhino's skin and around its feet. Tabanus flies, a type of horse-fly are known to bite rhinos. The rhinos are also vulnerable to diseases spread by parasites such as leeches, ticks, and nematodes. Anthrax and the blood-disease septicemia are known to occur.
The Indian Rhinoceros makes a wide variety of vocalizations. At least ten distinct vocalizations have been identified: snorting, honking, bleating, roaring, squeak-panting, moo-grunting, shrieking, groaning, rumbling and humphing. In addition to noises, the rhino uses olfactory communication. Adult males urinate backwards, as far as 3–4 meters behind them, often in response to being disturbed by observers. Like all rhinos, the Indian Rhinoceros often defecates near other large dung piles. The Indian Rhino has pedal scent glands which are used to mark their presence at these rhino latrines. Males have been observed walking with their heads to the ground as if sniffing, presumably following the scent of females.
In aggregations, Indian Rhinos are often friendly. They will often greet each other by waving or bobbing their heads, mounting flanks, nuzzling noses, or licking. Rhinos will playfully spar, run around, and play with twigs in their mouth. Adult males are the primary instigators in fights. Fights between dominant males are the most common cause of rhino mortality, and males are also very aggressive toward females during courtship. Males will chase females over long distances and even attack them face-to-face. Unlike African Rhinos, the Indian Rhino fights with its incisors, rather than its horns.
Check out the hole in mah head!!
Whew, this is the craziest picture i have ever done. All because from setting up the camera to uploading the pic,i had 1 hour 25 mins.
See, i misread the time zone stuff
for the FLICKR ISLAND and didnt realize it had to be up by noon. ...
Big thanks to my Roommie Danakin skywalker for taking charge of the

Eeeesh.
wish i had more time to really make the 3-d-ness of it more solid,but this
is what i got.
Good luck To TOM in our Final round competition!
this may or may not be my 365 for the day,it all depends on what happens
with the other photo i had planned last night.
Having seen both the America’s Test Kitchen folks and another show that escapes me at the moment doing pork tinga recipes recently, I've had a little bit of a craving going, leading to tonight's dinner. I've also been messing around a little with soda as an ingredient, and I know soda pops up in a lot of southern recipes involving pork, so it seemed to make sense to apply that here.
Since my family isn't big on heat, I used smoked hot paprika here, but if I were to make this just for myself I'd swap that out for the same amount of dried chipotle powder or 2 canned chipotles in adobo, minced fine.
Ingredients
2 lbs. pork shoulder (“Boston Butt”), cut into 2" cubes
4 Thai chilis, whole
2 pickled long red peppers, seeded and sliced into strips
2 sticks of cinnamon
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. Mexican oregano (can substitute marjoram in a pinch)
2 12 oz. cans Cherry Dr. Pepper
1 c. dried cherries
1 onion, diced
1 c. tomato purée
1/4 c. cider vinegar
2 tbl. smoked hot paprika (or chipotle, or a mix of the two to taste)
vegetable oil
salt
Directions
Salt the pork, and place it, along with the pork, chilis, red pepper, cinnamon, garlic, cumin, oregano, dried cherries, and the soda into a slow cooker over low heat for 6-8 hours, until the pork is falling-apart tender.
Strain off the liquid into a wide pan (like a saucier or a deep skillet), add the tomato purée, vinegar, and paprika, put over high heat, and reduce by 2/3 to make a fairly thick, glossy sauce.
While the sauce is reducing, shred the pork (a potato masher will work well for this, as will a few forks.) Sauté the onions in vegetable oil over high heat until translucent and beginning to brown, then add the pork and continue cooking, stirring frequently, over high heat until some of the edges of the pork get crispy. Combine with the reduced sauce and serve hot.
I served this on fresh tostadas topped with some onions (quickly pickled in orange juice), diced tomato, avocado, pineapple, green onion, and shredded cheese, with some lime wedges to add a little brightness. It’d work well on its own, or as a taco or sandwich filling. In addition to being able to take a little more heat, I think I might up the cider vinegar in the sauce a bit to play off the sweetness of the soda.

Todos los rotíferos filtran el agua y la hacen girar en remolinos con las aspas de su corona, que son cilios ▷. Con frecuencia esa corona es doble y se sitúa como en Philodina, formando dos rodetes a ambos lados de la cabeza. A veces esa corona crece y se deshilacha en tentáculos que terminan convirtiéndose en finísimas antenas como ocurre en Collotheca.
En ocasiones, cuando crece de manera uniforme forma un gran disco y ésta es una de las principales características de la familia de los Floscularidos. Esa corona, extendida como un plato es casi circular en Ptygura, algo lobulada la presenta Limnias, pero también ligeramente acorazonada y suavemente angulosa la exhibe el rotífero de hoy, que, de perfil, más que una corona recuerda a un sombrero de mariachi. La mayor parte de los rasgos anatómicos del protagonista de hoy nos llevan a pensar en Sinantherina , pero aunque son la mayoría no lo son todos.
El rotífero que nos acompaña se muestra solitario y apenas se sujeta con el extremo de su pie a unas briznas de materia orgánica que ha encontrado en el fondo. Se protege a sí mismo escondiéndose dentro de su cuerpo, como hacen todos los rotíferos, pero no ha construido una casa para refugiarse como la que fabrican sus parientes más próximos, Limnias o Ptygura .
Sinantherina vive a cuerpo descubierto y sólo protege el extremo de su pie, que calza dentro de un diminuto zapato gelatinoso. La defensa de Sinantherina no la encuentra en su coraza inexistente sino en el resto de sus compañeros con los que se suele asociar…son tan originales que no se unen por la mano, lo hacen por el pie y forman así pequeñas rosetas que siempre filtran el agua. Sin embargo, el de hoy, parece haber optado por la soledad
Sinantherina es un rotífero que vive en aguas estancadas y que con frecuencia se asocia para vivir formando colonias de vida fija o libres y viajeras. La solitaria de hoy procede de unas muestras recogidas en unas praderas encharcadas junto a la población zamorana de Mahíde y ha sido fotografiada a 200 aumentos utilizando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

Label 116 indicates the location of Hollywood Farm where Alexander Morson's (b1805 - d1850) family lived. Today, it would be located to the west a third of the way up Hollywood Farm Road just before getting to Wildcat corner. According to WPA researcher, Julia Marie Heflin, Hollywood was the estate of Arthur Alexander Morson (1803 - 1864), Alexander's brother, and is nine miles east of Falmouth in Stafford County, Virginia. [He and /or his brothers probably inherited it from his/their father who died in 1822 when he was 19, being the eldest in the brother and because his eldest sister, Marion died in 1819 at age 18]. This confuses some historians who naively mix it up with land owned by Arthur Morson in Hartwood to the west of Falmouth because Hartwood and Hollywood used to be part of King George county before 1777. After 1777, the boundary of King George county was moved east of Butzner Corner, VA. and Hartwood and Hollywood became part of Stafford county. The original Hollywood colonial home was built in 1823 and burned down in 1889. Real Estate records indicate that the brothers of Alexander and Arthur, Hugh and John Morson sold the rest of their grandfather's Hartwood land west of Falmouth which is known as the Morson tract. Later on, Hollywood would be sold to the Purkins about the same time Alexander Morson (b1805 - died before 1850) passed away. Alexander's wife, Maria May Berry (b1812 - ), died before 1860 and the kids were orphaned and taken care of by their Uncles as indicated by 1860 census records. The eldest, not an orphan, Alexander Morson (b1836 - d1854) would graduate from VMI and die of Yellow Fever in Louisiana working for the Army Corp of engineers. John A Morson (b1838 - d1880) would live with Uncle Arthur in Richmond, fight in the Civil War as an assistant surgeon, and settle in Mississippi. The sisters, Catherine Berry "Kate" Morson (b1841 - ) and Susan S Morson (b1841 - ) lived with their youngest Uncle James Marion Morson in Goochland. Finally, Arthur Alexander Morson (b1846 - d1914) lived with his Uncle Hugh until he attended VMI. In 1864, he fought at the Battle of New Market. Then he settled in Mississippi, married Bessie Eppie Dameron (1860 - 1835), and established a dairy business in Van Winkle, Jackson, Mississippi.
I'm still trying to find the Hollywood graveyard which, according the Heflin, is very large. Probably the best way to find the Morson's Hollywood home site is to ask folks in the area where Purkins' graveyard is. The original colonial home was 25 yards (another web site says 600 feet) south of it. If there is anything left, it would probably be just a brick foundation. The graveyard would be the easiest area to find although it may be enveloped by thick forestation. In January 2006, I drove up Hollywood Farm road and could not find it.
Here are all my references about the graveyard and Hollywood Farm: Hollywood Cemetery, Hollywood Farm Mountain Bike Trail, Driving Tour the Army of the Potomac in Stafford County 1862-1863, Master List of Places Mentioned in the Letters to Dr. Carmichael & Son, WPA Survey Report, Hollywood, research made by Julia Maria Heflin, January 7, 1937.
If anyone can help me identify the location of the cemetery or the home it would be greatly appreciated. Please post comments and clues here. THANKS in advance!!!
Interstate 8 between Yuma, Arizona and El Centro, California.
The Imperial Sand Dunes are the largest mass of sand dunes in California. This dune system extends for more than 40 miles along the eastern edge of the Imperial Valley agricultural region in a band averaging five miles in width. It is roughly bordered on the west by the Coachella Canal which delivers Colorado River water to the fertile agricultural valley to the north.
A major east-west route of the Union Pacific railroad skirts the eastern edge. The dune system is divided into 3 areas. The northern most area is known as Mammoth Wash. South of Mammoth Wash is the North Algodones Dunes Wilderness and the largest and most heavily used area begins at Highway 78 and continues south just past Interstate 8.
Thanks to Thomas (Mio Cade) for this Bali Trip. Saw this girl and noticed that her thoughts seem to be elsewhere.
The biggest Hindu's festival called Galungan and Kuningan, both falling every six months or twice a year in Balinese calendar or every 210 days because in Balinese calendar are consist of 35 days in each month. Both celebrations are for celebrating the winning of good (Dharma) over the bad (Adharma). Usually, people will go for their hometown to celebrate these days together with family. They will pray to Ancestors at the family's Temple and some Temples in the village which are related to their family root.
The last day of those three is the Post Galungan Day which is Manis Kuningan. This is the time for visiting friends, relatives who live in other area of their living or hometown. The people who are visited welcome the visitors warmly and serves with tape (fermented sticky rice) and jaja uli (rice cake). The togetherness and warmth can be maintained from time to time.
There is this awesome, amazing, epic band that is known as Jack's Mannequin. On their latest album, The Glass Passenger, one of the tracks is 'Annie Use Your Telescope'. My dear friend Megan, who is hopelessly in love with Andrew McMahon, the brains behind Jack's Mannequin and my obsession, /Something Corporate. (I was turned on to SoCo when I was 12, hardcore love.) Soon after their most recent album was released, I turned Megan on to Flickr, and that is why her Flickr name is Megan Use Your Telescope.

"Uit Maastricht meldt men, dat de Minderbroeders die de gelofte van kuischheid en armoede moeten doen, aldaar een prachtig klooster hebben bekomen, dat welligt f. 300.000 kost.

Bologna is the regional capital of Emilia Romagna, and a compulsory point of passage between the North and South of the Peninsula. An Etruscan and then Gallic settlement, it was first a colony and then a Roman Municipality. During the Middle Ages the city proclaimed itself a Free Common and reached the top of its power in 1249 with the victory of the Fossalta battle where King Enzo, son of the Emperor Frederic II, was made prisoner. Within its walls, the first University of the world saw the light in the XI century. Seigniories followed one another until the town in the XVI century fell once and for all under the influence of the Papal State while at the same time maintaining its own ancient magistracies, first of all the senate, and its own ambassador in Rome. In the charming historical center, among the best preserved in the world, many ancient palaces and churches stand and witness the cultural relevance that Bologna has had in the course of the centuries. A most modern Fair District, an efficient Congress Palace, up-to-date welcome structures crown a rich group of industrial companies of primary importance in the mechanical sector and in the field of agricultural and food processing, etc. Just take a walk along the nearly 40 kilometers of porticoes that decorate its streets allows to catch aspects of a life full of moods, to follow shopping itineraries in glamorous boutiques or in large and small street markets, also for food, to know a many-sided reality, culturally and economically at home in XXI century Europe.

50/365 - Pennyroyal Tea - Nirvana
My express weekend is almost over.
I've to drive back to Toulouse cause the courses starts early on Monday.
Loic called me to go to the cinema with Laurine at 7.45PM in the center of Toulouse.
I just had the time to take a shower, pack my things and set up the scene for today's shot before jumping in my car and hit the road to be on time !
This shot is a school project I have to do for my photographic course on thursday.
This week theme is "Tea or Coffee" and that was my feeling about this subject.
I had to shot it before living Bordeaux because I've no cups or coffee maker at my place whereas my mother has all I need.
It's cool to get some help from my parents !
Thanks to her for dropping the tea ball perfectly with a nice splash.
I'm happy to quote lyrics from a such beautiful song, I really love the MTV unplugged album and this song fits perfectly with the scene.

I really love this song.....and it can be interpretated many ways.
For myself, I find that I am my own worst enemy. I have a hard time forgiving myself of things in my past....or even though I may have forgiven somebody else for things done to me....there is a scar that remains. Sometimes I feel like the"old" me has a grip on the "present" me...and I just want her to LET GO, so that I don't lost myself.
"Let Go" - RED
Hey you, look what you do to me
You bend and you bruise me
Why you try to control me?
But you don't know me
How come you just want to hurt me?
How come you just want to push me?
I can't ignore you anymore
Cause everywhere I turn you
You burn me, you break me
You always want to take me down with you
What do you want from me?
I don't wanna be afraid, I don't wanna run away
I don't want to be here fading it's more that I can take
I'm never gonna be the same
I threw it all away
I don't want to be here fading
Just let go! (look what you do to me)
Let go! (look what you do to me)
Hey you, look what you do to me
You burnt and you scared me
With all that you tell me (but I don't listen!)
You love me, you hate me
You always want to take me down with you
What do you want from me?
I don't wanna be afraid I don't wanna run away
I don't want to be here fading it's more that I can take
I'm never gonna be the same
I threw it all away
I don't want to be here fading
Just let
You kept pushing me
You keep using me
You keep twisting me
You keep breaking me
You can't have me anymore [x3]
You can't have me, let go!
I don't wanna be afraid, I don't wanna run away
I don't want to be here fading it's more that I can take
I'm never gonna be the same
I threw it all away
I don't want to be here fading
Just let go! Let go! Just let go!
I don't wanna be afraid
Let go! (I don't wanna run away!)
Just let go! Let go! Let go!

ENGLISH
Two opposing styles unite in this building, endowing it with a special beauty, in spite of its austerity.
The former building was a mosque, maybe with five original naves and a subsequent sixth one, and an alminar.A big part of the side walls from this period remain, as well as the mihrab in the quibla wall and another opening where the alminbar ( a mobile wooden pulpit for the preacher)was kept. The starting point of the arches leading to the sahn, the oriental galleries and the canes supporting the eaves of the roof, also remain from this time.
After the christian conquest, the alminar was firstly elevated and buttressed so that it could stand the bells' weight by covering the former structure. Subsequently, maybe in the 15th century, the arches of the middle naves were pulled down to build a higher three aisled church, and a large gothic-mudejar apse with a star-shaped ribbed vault, that would be completed in 1515. During the Spanish Civil War a remarkable mudejar coffered ceiling burnt up.

CASTELLANO
En este edificio religioso se aunan dos estilos contrapuestos que lo dotan de una estética bella, a pesar de su austeridad.
El primero de ellos fue mezquita, tal vez también con cinco naves originales y una sexta posterior, así como alminar. De este periodo se conserva gran parte de los muros laterales, con el mihrab en el muro de la quibla y otro hueco donde se guardaba el alminbar, que era un púlpito de madera móvil desde donde se predicaba. También se conserva el arranque de los arcos que daban paso al sahn, las galerías orientales, y los canes del alero de cubierta.
Tras la conquista cristiana en un primer momento se elevó y reforzó al alminar para que soportase el peso de las campanas, cubriendo la estructura anterior. Con posterioridad, tal vez en el siglo XV, se derribaron los arcos de las naves centrales y se construyó una iglesia de planta de tres naves de mayor altura y ábside gótico-mudéjar de gran trazado, con bóveda estrellada, que se terminaría en 1515. Durante la guerra civil española se quemó un interesante artesonado mudéjar.

The Magnificent and beautiful lady, the Statue of Liberty, Liberty Island, New York City. I was so moved by her stunning beauty and impressed by the absolute perfection of this marvelous representation of liberty. I took this photo of the magnificent Statue of Liberty on my first trip to Liberty Island and New York City in October 2004. She is of utmost beauty and I was totally blown away by her magnifigance.
THE STATUE OF LIBERTY
Liberty Enlightening the World (French: La liberté éclairant le monde), known more commonly as the Statue of Liberty (Statue de la Liberté), is a large statue that was presented to the United States by France in 1886. It stands at Liberty Island, New York in New York Harbor as a welcome to all visitors, immigrants, and returning Americans. The copper-clad statue, dedicated on October 28, 1886, commemorates the centennial of the United States and is a gesture of friendship from France to America. Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi sculpted the statue, and Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (designer of the Eiffel Tower) engineered the internal structure. Eugène Viollet-le-Duc was responsible for the choice of copper in the statue's construction and adoption of the repoussé technique.
The statue is of a female figure standing upright, dressed in a robe and a seven point spiked rays representing a nimbus (halo), holding a stone tablet close to her body in her left hand and a flaming torch high in her right hand. The tablet bears the words "JULY IV MDCCLXXVI" (July 4, 1776), commemorating the date of the United States Declaration of Independence.
The statue is made of a sheeting of pure copper, hung on a framework of steel (originally puddled iron) with the exception of the flame of the torch, which is coated in gold leaf. It stands atop a rectangular stonework pedestal with a foundation in the shape of an irregular eleven-pointed star. The statue is 151' 1" (46.5 m) tall, with the pedestal and foundation adding another 154 feet (46.9 m).
Worldwide, the Statue of Liberty is one of the most recognizable icons of the United States, and, more generally, represents liberty and escape from oppression. The Statue of Liberty was, from 1886 until the jet age, often one of the first glimpses of the United States for millions of immigrants after ocean voyages from Europe. The Statue of Liberty's obviously classical appearance (Roman stola, sandals, facial expression) derives from Libertas, ancient Rome's goddess of freedom from slavery, oppression, and tyranny. Broken shackles lie at her feet. The seven spikes in the crown represent the Seven Seas and seven continents. Her torch signifies enlightenment. The tablet in her hand shows the date of the nation's birth, July 4, 1776.
Since 1903, the statue, also known as "Lady Liberty," has been associated with Emma Lazarus's poem “The New Colossus” and has been a symbol of welcome to arriving immigrants. The interior of the pedestal contains a bronze plaque inscribed with the poem, which reads:
“Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
There are 354 steps inside the statue and its pedestal. There are 25 windows in the crown which comprise the jewels beneath the seven rays of the diadem. The tablet which the Statue holds in her left hand reads, in Roman numerals, "July 4, 1776" the day of America's independence from Britain. The Statue of Liberty was engineered to withstand heavy winds. Winds of 50 miles per hour cause the Statue to sway 3 inches (7.62 cm) and the torch to sway 5 inches (12.7 cm). This allows the Statue to move rather than break in high [wind load] conditions.

Strada del Vino DOC Monreale
Fra le tante definizioni che hanno avuto ad oggetto in questi anni l’universo siciliano - ricordiamo quelle di Jean Houel, Goethe, Monpassant - è rimasta nell’immaginario collettivo, molto forte, l’immagine data da Renè Bazin che a fine Ottocento descriveva così il paesaggio siculo: “vorrei tentare di darne qualche idea. Non hanno nomi negli atlanti né nelle guide, eppure sono così diversi, e se voi andate a nord, a sud oppure ad est, incontrerete quasi sempre uno di essi. In mancanza di meglio li chiamerò terra di agrumi e terra da grano. […] E’ un deserto di frumento. Il suolo ondeggia, senza un albero, senza una siepe, senza nulla che arresti la vista. Un tappeto di stoppie indefinito, senza solchi, interamente d’oro”.
In realtà la Sicilia è anche un’ “oceano verde” con variegati aspetti, ovvero un paesaggio e una qualità visiva che cambia da luogo a luogo.
Le Strade del Vino di Sicilia valorizzano queste varietà di luoghi e persone, interessando territori maggiormente toccati dal turismo o località meno battute.
La Strada del Vino Monreale Doc, nello specifico, promuove il territorio monrealese e in parte l’areale di Piana degli Albanesi interessato dalla Denominazione inaugurata con la vendemmia 2001, corrispondente a un vigneto compessivo di circa 12 mila ettari, con uve bianche e nere, autoctone e internazionali.
La posizione è felicissima non solo per la vicinanza alla città di Palermo in termini di ricchezza del paniere gastronomico che vede in trionfo il cannolo, gli arancini, le pappardelle alla monrealese, le panelle, gli sfincioni, la pasta finocchi e sarde, gli analetti, il caciocavallo, il torrone di mandorle in crosta di zucchero, i buccellati e i biscotti di San Martino.
Ma è felice anche la particolare georeferenzialità di questo percorso.
Siamo infatti alle spalle di Palermo, a soli 8 Km di distanza dal centro e a una manciata di minuti da Alcamo.
I comuni complessivamente interessati dal nuovo itinerario del vino sono Camporeale, San Giuseppe Jato, San Cipirello, Santa Cristina Gela, Corleone e Roccamena.
Ma il cuore ruota intorno alla cittadina di Monreale (Mons Regalis), che ha una peculiarità storica di grande importanza, ovvero quella di essere una città di 30.000 abitanti sorta intorno all’immensa e meravigliosa Cattedrale.
Questo Duomo arabo-normanno, un vero e proprio capolavoro architettonico, fu fatto edificare da Guglielmo II a partire dal 1174 su un ripiano naturale che ad est domina l’immenso agrumeto della Conca d’Oro dove i Re normanni avevano costruito le loro dimore.
La Cattedrale di Monreale rappresenta il massimo esempio di architettura Normanna in Sicilia. L’idea che guidò Guglielmo II nella sua decorazione fu quella di superare la bellezza e l’imponenza di analoghi monumenti quali la Cappella Palatina di Palermo e il Duomo di Cefalù.
Il sovrano impiegò quindi colossali ricchezze nelle decorazioni interne, fino alla conclusione della parte più impegnativa di lavori che avvenne intorno al 1186, anno in cui fu collocata la monumentale porta in bronzo, opera di Bonanno da Pisa.
Attorno a questo nucleo nacque, a successive ondate, la città.
Alla fine del XIII secolo un piccolo agglomerato era già chiamato Monte Reale e si articolava tra i due quartieri del Pozzillo. Tra il 1400 e il 1700 sono sorti i quartieri Carmine, San Castrenze, Santo Vito, Baviera e Carrubbella.
Tra il Cinquecento ed il Seicento vengono costruite alte mura e porte che cingono tutto il perimetro della città. Infine, con il Settecento, si conclude il periodo d’oro di Monreale.
Il monumentale complesso del Duomo con i suoi mosaici di tipo bizantino, l’ex convento dei Benedettini, il chiostro, il belvedere, il palazzo municipale ed il seminario dei chierici rappresentano insieme alle chiese settecentesche e le Fontane del Drago e del Tritone un misto di civiltà, arte, storia e culture diverse che non mancano di imprimersi nella memoria di chi visita.
Venendo in questi luoghi si consiglia anche una visita al Lago di Scanzano, alla Riserva di Serre della Pizzuta dove sono stati rinvenuti resti fossili di 250 milioni di anni fa e agli scavi archeologici del Monte Jato che hanno rilevato testimonianze di insediamenti del primo millennio a.C.
إن مع العسر يسراً
يا إنسان ان بعد الجوع شبع، وبعد الظمأ ري، وبعد السهر نوم، وبعد المرض عافية،
سوف يصل الغائب ويهتدي الضال، ويفك العاني، وينقشع الظلام
(( فعسى الله أن يأتي بالفتح أو أمر من عنده ))
بشر الليل بصبح صادق يطارده على رؤوس الجبال، ومسارب الأودية،
بشر المهموم بفرج مفاجئ يصل في سرعة الضوء ولمح البصر،
بشر المنكوب بلطف خفي وكف حانية وادعة .
إذا رأيت الصحراء تمتد، فاعلم أن ورائها رياضاً خضراء وارفة الظلال .
إذا رأيت الحبل يشتد يشتد، فاعلم أنه سوف ينقطع .
مع الدمعة بسمة،
ومع الخوف أمناً،
ومع الفزع سكينة،
النار لا تحرق إبراهيم التوحيد؛ لأن الرعاية الربانية فتحت نافذة برداً وسلاماً .
البحر لا يغرق كليم الرحمن؛ لأن الصوت القوي الصادق نطق بكلا "إن معي ربي سيهدين" .
المعصوم في الغار بَشَّرَ صاحبه بأنه وحده معنا فـتـنـزل الأمن والفتح والسكينة .
إن عبيد ساعدتهم الراهنة وأرقاء ظروفهم القاتمة لا يرون إلا النكد والضيق والتعاسة، لأنهم لا ينظرون إلا إلى جدار الغرفة وباب الدار فحسب .
ألا فليمدوا أبصارهم وراء الحجب وليطلقوا أعنة أفكارهم إلى ما وراء الأسوار .
إذاَ فلا تضق ذرعاَ فمن المحال دوام الحال، وأفضل العبادة انتظار الفرج، الأيام دول، والدهر قلب، والليالي حبالى، والغيب مستور، والحكيم كل يوم هو في شأن، ولعل الله يحدث بعد ذلك أمرا ،
و "إن مع العسر يسراَ"
من كتاب لا تحزن للشيخ : عائض القرني
ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
Eating follows hunger, drinking follows thirst, sleep comes after restlessness , and health takes the place of sickness . The lost will find there way , and the one in difficulty will find relief, and the day will follow the night .
(perhaps Allah may bring a victory or a decision according to his will) Qur'an 5:52
Inform the night of a coming morning, the light of which will permeate the mountains and valleys. Give to the afflicted tidings of a sudden relief that will reach them with the speed of light or with the blinking of an eye .
if you see the desert extends for miles and miles , then know that beyond that distance are green meadows with plentiful shade.
If you see the rope tighten and tighten, know that it will snap.
tears are followed by a smile , fear is replaced by comfort,
and anxiety is overthrown by serenity. When the fire was set for him, Prophet Ibraheem (Abraham) (may peace be upon him) did not feel its heat because of the help he received from his lord.
{We [Allah] said : O' fire! be you coolness and sefety for Ibraheem ! }
Qur'an 21:69
The sea wouldn't drown Prophet Moses (may peace be upon him) because he uttered in a confident, strong, and truthful manner:
{'Nay, verily! With me is my Lord , he will guide me.'} Qur'an 26:62
Prophet Muhammad (bpuh) told Abu Bakr in the cave that Allah was with them ___ then peace and tranquility descended upon them.
Those that are slaves of the moment see only misery and wretchedness. This is because they look only at the wall and door of the room, whereas they should look beyond such barriers as are set before them.
Therefore do not be in despair ; it is impossible for things to remain the same. The days and years rotate, the future is unseen , and everyday Allah has matters to bring forth. You know it not, but it may be that Allah will afterwards bring some new thing to pass.
And {Verily, With hardship, There is a relief .}Qur'an 94:6

Tragedy at Six Bells
By David John Withers, Brynmawr
My father worked in the colliery all his life and I sort of followed him into the pit. I went to work in Six Bells Colliery at 17 years of age.
When I first went on the 0.18 coal face as a collier's helper I was introduced to my 'batty' Reggie Poe who showed me the tools we were using and two chalk marks 15 yards apart on the coal face. This was our working place, 15 yards long by 4-foot-6 deep by 5 feet high. I thought 'bloody hell' - it seemed a huge amount of coal to shift.
Although the other coal faces in our district were more modern with hydraulic roof supports, we were still using the older friction posts and linked bars. I've still got the scars where one of the bars came down on me!
We had quite a few problems with gas on the 0.18 coal face and the dust was killing. At times the conveyor would start up and you couldn't see each other until the dust settled down.
As boys we often refused to go onto the face because of the amounts of dust there - being youngsters we stuck together even when the officials threatened to send us home. It wasn't much of a threat as I was only earning about £6 odd!
I had been working about two years when the explosion happened. I was working on the 0.18 face at Six Bells on the 'turning shift' and arrived at the colliery on the bus to see the place in turmoil and heard that an explosion had happened. As the explosion had occurred at our place of work, we offered to go down and help as we knew the place, but the Rescue Brigade had it under control and wouldn't let us go down.
It's hard to say my feelings about it all. We knew there was gas there and they said a spark had set it off. I had mostly enjoyed the colliery up to then. I remember four of the men who died - I used to give them snuff with powdered bark mixed in as a joke - there was a good spirit amongst the men at the pit.
Once the explosion had happened it put me off. I finished and I put my notice in soon after. I was too young to lose my life in the colliery. If I had been working the day shift that week it would have been me. The explosion opened my eyes to the dangers and I went into the construction industry instead - I was always good with my hands. The pit made me grow up.
The deaths of 45 men killed 50 years ago in a colliery explosion have been remembered with a service at the site.
A gas explosion ripped through the Six Bells colliery near Abertillery, Blaenau Gwent at 10.45am on 28 June 1960.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, led a service of remembrance at the site.
He also unveiled a memorial to the tragedy, a 20m high sculpture of a miner by Sebastian Boyesen.

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)

View On Black Amber , a Window into the past. A three dimensional snapshot of life 20 mil to 231 mil yrs ago. There is alot of fake Amber out there . People passing "copal" another tree resin off as true amber. However it is not the same. If u r fortunate enough. U will find a piece w/ lovely inclusions. This one has a leave and a small insect which from this angle u can not make o ut. I am sad because I was not gentle with it and it now has a crack. It is one of the lightest "gems" . and is also used ( as well as copal to burn for incesne. Amber brings courage , balance protection, healing ( stomach and cns) as well as love. I have felt a great bond to this little babe of mine. And so grateful she came into my life!!!
This shoot was really really fun! Of course I always think shoots are fun, but this one was one of my true spontaneous shoots. My friend Kendall (model) and I had headed to thrift town to see what we could find. Well, we ran across this gorgeous little wonder bra corset, and almost right next to it, a pair of brand new highwaist lingerie underwear. We just looked at each other, and laughed, and a few hours later, these photos came into existence. My absolute favorite kind of shoot, the kind that just fall into your lap. On top of that, Chardonnay, the black cat, was being very cooperative as well.

This is the Bagdad Cafe on Route 66 in Newberry Springs, California. The car out front belongs to my friends Hans and Jonas Hannsson of Malmo, Sweden, and is a Volvo PV they customized themselves into the hot rod convertible you see here. They temporarily imported this car for a long wished for trip across the U.S. on Route 66. They had a wonderful time!
The original photo was taken by Jonas Hansson, and with Jonas' permission, I've been selecting some of my favorite photos of their road trip along the "Mother Road" and doing some post processing... enhancing, cropping, tone mapping, special effects, etc. The original photo was not so great. I used Photoshop to crop and enhance the photo, then my Photoshop filter "Fractalius" to turn it into a digital painting/drawing.
Below is a link to Hans and Jonas' blog about their historic trip:
hanssonroute66.blogspot.com/2006/07/information-in-englis...
INFORMATION ON THE BAGDAD CAFE:
Bagdad Cafe, a movie centering on old Route 66, was filmed in the Newberry Springs area. The Bagdad Cafe located in Newberry Springs is not the original Bagdad Cafe, the original cafe was located in the town of Bagdad between Amboy and Ludlow on old Route 66. Nothing remains of the old cafe in Bagdad. The Newberry Springs cafe is a Route 66 survivor though and was once known as the Sidewinder Cafe. After the movie was filmed here the name Bagdad Cafe just seemed to stick. It is open for business today serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you are coming through the area I would recommend stopping here. Say hi to Andrea Pruett, the proprietor, while you're at it. She has done a great job of keeping the Bagdad Cafe alive for all us Mother Road fans. If you're lucky, maybe General Bob will show up and entertain you with his colorful stories from the past! The nearest large town to the Cafe is Barstow. You'll find the Bagdad Cafe between the east and west off-ramps of I-40, at Newberry Springs, east of Barstow
INFORMATION ON NEWBERRY SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA:
The area around Newberry Springs has been a source of water in the arid Mojave Desert since the earliest days. The site of Camp Cady is located a few miles from present day Newberry Springs, and was a resting place and watering hole along the Mojave River for wagon trains coming to California in the 1850's on the old Mormon Trail. In the 1880's the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad hauled tank cars of water from Newberry Springs to the stations and towns in the area making life in this arid land possible.

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.

More photographs of Torquay, can be viewed by visiting my photography website - Beautiful England
Torquay has long been regarded as one of the most glamorous resorts of the English Riviera. In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte, who was a prisoner, stood on the deck of HMS Bellerophon in Tor Bay and pronounced Torquay to be, "Beau". It is easy to see why he felt this. Built on seven green hills, overlooking Tor Bay, Torquay is a resort with a genuine European atmosphere. Sparkling white villas built by the Victorians, adorn the hill tops. The promenade is lined with palm trees and colourful gardens. There is a lively harbour and an international marina.
The Victorians named Torquay, "Queen of the Riviera" and it became one of the most popular resorts in the south of England. In 1848, South Devon Railway made the town easily accessible. Bathing became fashionable and separate beaches were designated for ladies and gentlemen to bathe. It was not until 1899 that mixed bathing was permitted.
Kent's Cavern attracted many visitors. Here were found human bones, together with those from Ice Age creatures, indicating for the first time that man had existed far earlier than previously thought. It is now a floodlit spectacle of stalagmites and stalactites situated close to Anstey's Cove and is open to the public.
The English Riviera has 22 miles of coastline, coves and cliffs and provides 19 varied beaches, some small and secluded, but still easily accessible. From Marine Drive there are extensive views over Thatcher Rock, across Tor Bay to Berry Head at Brixham. From Babbacombe Bay the red cliffs of Dawlish can be seen.
The BBC TV series, 'Fawlty Towers', is closely associated with Torquay. This comedy programme, staring John Cleese, as the eccentric hotelier, was first broadcast in 1975 and has been screened in over sixty countries. The hotel shown in the opening shots was, in fact, not in Torquay, but was the Wooburn Grange Country Club at Bourne End in Buckinghamshire, which has now been demolished.
The inspiration for Basil Fawlty was Donald Sinclair, the owner of Hotel Gleneagles, who Monty Python's Flying Circus team encountered in 1971. Whilst they were staying there, Donald Sinclair criticised Terry Gilliam for not using his knife and fork correctly and it is alleged Eric Idle's bag was thrown outside because Sinclair believed that there was a bomb in it! The Monty Python team moved out, but John Cleese, realising the potential, stayed on and brought his first wife, Connie Booth, to join him to experience Sinclair's unusual behaviour at first hand. She later co-wrote the programmes with her husband.
Sadly, Donald died in 1981. John Cleese affectionately described Donald Sinclair, a war hero, as, "the most wonderfully rude man I have ever met". Hotel Gleneagles still exists in Asheldon Road, Torquay. It has been transformed into a luxury boutique hotel, overlooking Lyme Bay.
Agatha Christie, the world famous crime writer, was born in Torquay and spent most of her life in the area. She often bathed at Beacon Cove, an original "ladies only beach" and Meadfoot Beach. The family home was in Barton Road. She was married on Christmas Eve 1914 and spent her honeymoon at The Grand Hotel. She owned 'Greenway', standing above the River Dart, near Brixham, for thirty-eight years, which she used as a summer home and retreat, until she died in 1976. It is now owned by the National Trust and is open to the public. Visitors can travel by ferry from Torquay or Brixham.

After reading about this for several years, I was looking forward to seeing it in person and, even though we were in Chicago in the middle of a record heat wave, the prairie planting was thriving and was even more impressive than I expected. What added immeasurably to the overall effect was the colorful temporary art installation on the roof of a portion of the Art Institute of Chicago in the background. It is called "Restless Rainbow" and is by the 48 year old California artist Pae White.
This exhibit is “a commissioned, site-specific work for the Art Institute of Chicago’s Bluhm Family Terrace, uses this dramatic space not as a platform for objects but as the work itself. In this piece, White drew on her interest in and knowledge of graphic design, textiles, and animation to wrap the terrace in a vibrantly colored, energetic abstracted rainbow” according to the Art Institute’s website. The exhibit runs through September.

Designed to pay homage to the city's motto "Urbs in Horto" (City in a Garden), the Lurie Garden with its graceful wooden footbridge and groves of trees, was the result of an international design competition, and has become a popular resting and meeting place.
"Lurie Garden is a 2.5-acre (10,000 m2) garden located at the southern end of Millennium Park in the Loop area of Chicago in Cook County, Illinois, United States. Designed by Kathryn Gustafson, Piet Oudolf, and Robert Israel, it opened on July 16, 2004. The garden is a combination of perennials, bulbs, grasses, shrubs and trees. It is the featured nature component of the world's largest green roof. The garden cost $13.2 million and has a $10 million endowment for maintenance and upkeep. It was named after Ann Lurie, who donated the $10 million endowment. For visitors, the garden features guided walks, lectures, interactive demonstrations, family festivals and picnics.
The Lurie garden constantly depicts the dynamics of nature, but it is most colorful from June through the autumn. It is not a botanical garden with a scientific purpose and is instead a public garden. Thus, it does not use a plant labeling system. The plant life of the garden consists entirely of perennials. It does not now nor does it intend to incorporate annuals, which rarely survive Chicago winters. Approximately 60% of the plant life in the light and dark plates are plants that are native to Illinois.
The "shoulder" hedge, which serves as the northern edge of the garden, also fills the space next to the void of the great lawn of the Jay Pritzker Pavilion. These hedges use a metal armature, to prefigure the mature hedge.[5] The shoulder hedge is an evolving hedge screen of deciduous Fagus (beech) and Carpinus (hornbeam) and evergreen Thuja (arborvitae, also known as redcedars) that will eventually (over the course of approximately ten years) branch horizontally to fill the permanent armature frame and create a solid hedge.[9]
The garden was one of the gardens depticted in the 2006 In Search of Paradise: Great Gardens of the World exhibition that was shown from May 12–October 22, 2006 in the Boeing Galleries and that was later shown in the Chicago Botanic Garden. The Chicago Botanic Garden developed the exhibition that included 65 photomurals of gardens from 21 countries using photographs that were less than five years old"
