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.

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.
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.
I've said this before but this summer here in Mississauga has gotta be the Red Admiral summer..I see these beauties everywhere I go..so many of them..around..Too beautiful NOT to photograph again and again and again lol :) Hope you aren't bored with seeing them..I'm not bored shooting them yet lol sorries.
"The red admiral butterfly belongs to the vanessid group of butterflies. They are among the largest and most colorful butterflies that inhabit the northern temperate regions of the world. Vanessa butterflies are found throughout much of the world. Besides the red admiral butterfly, this group includes the tortoiseshell, painted lady, peacock, Camberwell beauty, and comma butterflies."
"This large butterfly is identified by its striking dark brown, red and black wing pattern. More specifically, the dark wings possess orange bands that cross the fore wings and on the outer edge of the hind wings; white spots on the dorsal fore wings near the front margin; reddish bars on dorsal surface of all four wings."
"The common name "Red Admiral" compares this band to the chevrons on a naval uniform."

La calidad de las foto no es buena pero las muestro porque me hizo gracia ver unos pollo desconocido entre los patos domésticos.
Foto tomadas en el río La Noguera Ribagorzana en el paque del r'io en Corbins Lleida.

La polla gris, polla de agua, pollona negra, gallineta, gallareta común (en el Perú), tiqui o taca-taca (Gallinula chloropus) es una especie de ave gruiforme de la familia Rallidae que habita en regiones húmedas de casi todo el globo con la excepción de Oceanía y la Antártida.
Características
Es una especie inconfundible. Su coloración es en general de color gris pizarra, con la cabeza y cuello más oscuros y dos anchas líneas de color blanco en los flancos debajo de la cola. El pico es rojo, al igual que el escudo facial, con la punta amarilla. Las extremidades inferiores son oliváceo-amarillentas, con una mancha roja en las rodillas. Los ejemplares más jóvenes son amarronados y carecen del escudo facial.
Historia natural
Habita y se reproduce en ambientes de marisma, y en lagos con abundante vegetación. Generalmente es reservado, pero puede domesticarse. Las poblaciones en áreas donde el agua se congela, como la parte sur de Canadá, parte norte de Estados Unidos, y el este de Europa, migran hacia climas más templados.
Consume una amplia variedad de vegetales y pequeños animales acuáticos. Se alimentan sobre los espejos de agua, donde se reúnen en grupos que van desde la pareja hasta enormes bandadas de miles de ejemplares. Anidan habitualmente en época de lluvias; el nido es una cesta, con un techo, construido en la vegetación densa. Pone de 4 a 8 huevos, que son incubados durante aproximadamente tres semanas. Ambos padres incuban y alimentan al hijo.
A pesar de la pérdida de su hábitat, esta ave es aún común y ampliamente distribuida.

Thecamoeba es una ameba un tanto particular que, a diferencia de otras amebas de cuerpo desnudo como Amoeba de brazos redondos o aquellas con ellos algo afilados como Mayorella, se mueve contenida por su envuelta algo rígida, que no permite extender sus brazos mucho más allá de los contornos de su cuerpo y lo hace tan lentamente, protegida por su invisibilidad, que parece no estar.
Thecamoeba es como una partícula de nube de gelatina y de agua transparente. Invisible, va acariciando los fondos de limo y lamiendo la superficie de las plantas sumergidas sobre las que pasea casi levitando y así, en su paseo deslizante, recoge hacia sí los pequeños frutos dorados y verdes que son las algas de las que se alimenta.
Sólo los pequeños pliegues que se forman en su camisa invisible y las diminutas algas, que como pequeños broches de brillantes móviles adornan y pintan de alegre su interior, la hacen ver y nos permiten admirar como camina y evoluciona, jugando a cambiar sus contornos de nube líquida y viva.
Invisible como tantas otras de sus hermanas Thecamoeba lleva su discreción y belleza por todos los fondos por los que se camufla de nube, una nube diminuta de vida en un cielo infinito de agua.
Probablemente, la que mostramos aquí seaThecamoeba sphaeronucleolus que habita en aguas ligeramente eutrofizadas alimentándose de bacterias y pequeñas algas. Como todas sus hermanas Thecamoeba se mueve lentamente, sin formar apenas pseudópodos, envuelta en una película que contiene sus desplazamientos. El cuerpo de esta ameba suele presentar varios surcos longitudinales y el interior con numerosos gránulos diminutos y una gran vacuola contráctil que expulsa el exceso de agua que se pueda haber acumulado en su interior.
La fotografía, tomada a 400 aumentos con la técnica de contraste de interferencia, procede de una muestra de agua tomada a dos metros de profundidad en el incomparable Lago de Sanabria. Fue recogida desde el catamarán Helios Sanabria el primer catamarán propulsado por energía eólica y solar
Lately I´ve gathered informations and pictures about human anatomy, especially for the muscles and about standart proportion rules for the human body. Some of these informations I´ve put together in this collage.
These are guidelines that helps constructing a human body. For example it tells you that an "ideal" proportioned body is about eight head units (the height of the head from chin to top) tall and which important spots are located at each step.
Further how the head is subdivided to find the points for the eyes, the nose the mouth and so on. The eyes are located vertically at about the middle of the head. The distance between both eyes are the length of one eye. The width of the nose also is one eye unit. The ears are located between eyebrowes and nosetip.
The nipples are one head unit apart (I´ve tested this on me, its true ^^) and the straight line from the navel over a nipple leads to the edge of the shoulder.
The points are not perfect in this collage because I took the pictures for the muscles, the skeleton, the head and even the scale from different places, but you can see that they have used the same proportions. It nearly fits, only the navel is a bit off.
I´m not happy with the comic-like head here, but its just a sketch.
I´ll use this collage as a guideline to draw a sheet like this on my own as an excersise, mainly to get used to the proportions, to where the muscles are located and how everything goes together. Now I just need my tablet. With a little luck it will arrive tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.
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!

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.

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.

Psalm 139 (King James Version)
O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

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"

Con sus dos largos brazos de hilo la verde Eutreptia se abre paso en los caminos del agua, a veces despejados como un cielo limpio y en otras ocasiones salpìcados de diminutos viajeros como ella que buscan para vivir una pequeña ventana a la luz del sol.
Eutreptia es un flagelado primo hermano de Euglena, que adopta forma de cometa cuando puede nadar libre en la inmensidad de cualquier gota de agua, su prolongada cola estabiliza la tortuosa navegación que le imponen sus dos largos flagelos y de este modo, avanza sin contratiempos enhebrando su silueta de pez entre las corrientes de agua.
El interior de Eutreptia está cargado de pequeños cloroplastos discoidales que apenas tienen espacio para moverse dentro de su cuerpo y que no caben en la estrecha cola-timón de este flagelado viajero. Eutreptia está vestida con una fina y plástica membrana transparente elegantemente adornada por unas delicadísimas estrías paralelas casi invisibles. Esta película que recubre su cuerpo como una ajustada camisa, igual que la de algunas especies de Euglena, Distigma o Astasia permite el cambio de forma y la completa transformación de sus aspecto.
Los dos largos flagelos de Eutreptia ondulan y parecen trenzarse para deshacerse después en sus movimientos rizados, pero cuando tropiezan con algún obstáculo como marañas de algas o redes de diatomeas, se desacompasan al mismo tiempo que Eutreptia se altera y sus contornos de comenta se revuelven hasta transformarse mágicamente en los de un globo.
Eutreptia, como Euglena, es ser misterioso de vida animal y vegetal al mismo tiempo, una pequeña mancha ocular de color rojizo constituye su ojo de cíclope que sólo ve la luz
La especie que mostramos hoy, probablemente Eutreptia viridis puede vivir en aguas dulces, como éstas de las que procede y es capaz de soportar una notable carga de materia orgánica. Se trata de un hallazgo singular, del que no tenemos constancia de citas precedentes en la Península Ibérica - las únicas conocidas del continente europeo proceden de Gran Bretaña y Rumanía - y tan solo se ha constatado su presencia en otros continentes a partir de tres citas, una en Brasil, otra en China y la tercera de Australia.
Eutreptia ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos con la técncia de contraste de interferencia a partir de una muestra recogida a 3 metros de profundidad en el Lago de Sanabria (Zamora), desde el catamarán Helios Sanabria el primer catamarán construido en el Planeta propulsado por energía eólica y solar.

Nueva etapa dentro de poco también en Biodiversidad virtual
Un huevo verde y estrellado es esta zigospora, pequeño embrión de alga que ha crecido dentro de su esférica placenta gelatinosa. Asistimos a la formación de un nuevo ser en el mundo de las algas. Cosmarium es un désmido de contornos redondeados, primo hermano de los alrgados y sonrientes Closterium y de las algas estrella, Staurastrum Micrasterias o Euastrum y esa estrella va en los genes, aunque en Cosmarium el paso del tiempo borre su huella.
Con frecuencia los désmidos se reproducen asexualmente, se quiebran por la mitad para reconstruir después la otra parte de la que han prescindido y que las complementa, así vuelven a regenerar su otra mitad hasta alcanzar el equilibrio en un cuerpo formado por dos porciones que se miran al espejo, exactamente gemelas y este proceso de división asexual y reconstrucción exacta se va repitiendo una y otra vez hasta que algo cambia. Es entonces cuando los désmidos se emparejan, se unen y funden sus cuerpos por completo y así, mezclándose, desaparecen.
Es algo mágico, la unión, aparentemente extinguió dos vidas para formar ahora una sola, ésta, una estrella, armada y protegida aguantará el sol y el hielo, el agua y el polvo y cuando el tiempo mejore se dividirá dos veces para formar no dos, sino cuatro nuevas vidas que serán la mezcla de sus padres y al mismo tiempo sus padres mismamente.
Cosmarium botrytis es un désmido relativamente común en cualquier tipo de medio acuático. Las hormonas vegetales determinan que aparezcan en estas algas fenómenos de reproducción sexual. Dos individuos se aproximan, fabrican una envuelta gelatinosa y transparente que los envuelve como en una burbuja, su cuerpo se romperá por la mitad liberando el interior verde que se funde con el de su pareja, los cascarones de sus antiguos cuerpos quedarán vacíos y se formará así esta forma resistente y estrellada, la zigospora. Como contiene una información genética doble, para poder generar nuevas algas tendrá que dividirse por meiosis formando así cuatro y no dos células hijas.
Cosmarium botrytis , ha sido encontrado así, comenzando a nacer en unas muestras recogidas hace un par de días en unas praderas encharcadas próximas a la localidad zamorana de Villaflor y se ha fotografiado a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

Its incredible how FAST the butterflies are.. Shot at 1/750s and still the motion blur...this is not camera shake (evident with the bottom left flower sharpness!)
WOW.. getting motion blur at such speed just shows how the butterflies take off and why its so hard to photograph them IN-FLIGHT!
I tried to catch the butterflies in flight literally dozens of times during this vacation... but this is the only one i have with me to showcase!

www.cornwallinfocus.co.uk/mining/levant.php
Levant Mine is located 2 miles north of St.Just and is bounded to the east by Geevor Mine, to the west by Wheal Unity and to the south by Spearn Moor and Spearn Consols mines. Levant appears as a mine in its own right on maps dating from 1748 on and consists of an amalgamation of several smaller and more ancient concerns. Their names such as Boscregan and Unity live on as shaft names. What we would consider today as modern Levant was formed in about 1820 by a group of investors - known in the trade as 'mining adventurers', who agreed to raise the sum of £400 by purchasing 80 shares at £5 each.
Two of the main investors in the company were Lewis Charles Daubuz and Mr John Batten. Their leadership along with some excellent prospecting helped the company to locate a large copper deposit at a depth of 20 fathoms (120 feet) below the surface. The adventurers rapidly got a handsome return on their investment and further exploratory work was carried out. From 1835 Levant began raising tin and was soon to become an important tin producer too. In the period 1820 to 1930 Levant produced over 130,000 tons of copper ore of high (10%) grade and 24,000 tons of black tin. In 1912 5,278 ounces of silver and 4 ounces of gold were also sold.
Levant swallowed up the nearby mine of Spearne Consols - now known as Higher Bal. Shafts were opened up at Angwin's shaft, Tresize's shaft, Goldsworthy's shaft and Batten's shaft. The underground workings of Levant extended out under the sea but in general due to the bedrock being the impervious greenstone there were very few problems with flooding.
A 'man engine' was installed on Daubuz's shaft in 1856 reached by a tunnel from the Miner's Dry. The shaft subsequently became known as engine Shaft one of only a dozen or so installed in Cornish mines. The journey time from surface to work place was radically reduced from over an hour to less than half an hour in most cases. The workers arriving fresher and more ready for work into the bargain. Along with all the new shafts and the installation of the man engine all the usual associated surface buildings sprang up around the site - stamps, both Cornish stamps and Californian stamps types; a calciner for roasting the ore and a mill area containing rag frames and buddles.
Levant is quite unusual amongst Cornish mines in one respect as it did use pit ponies for a short time from 1893 to tram the ore on the main 278 fathom (below adit) tramming level some 1600 feet underground. Levant is also remembered for the Levant Mine Disaster in October 1919. The second worst loss of life underground in a Cornish mine. 31 men were lost when the man engine snapped and fell down through the shaft.
New York Dance Parade 2011.
Caporales. Group: Alma Boliviana
Taken on St. Mark's Place. East Village, New York City.
Dance parade is an annual parade and festival that showcases dance of all kinds as an expression of art and culture. It takes place in New York City each May, on the Saturday before Memorial Day.
Greg Miller, a social entrepreneur and dance aficionado, established the non-profit organization in December, 2006 and led an all-volunteer group that produced the inaugural parade on May 19, 2007. Over 2300 dancers from 75 organizations made their way down Manhattan’s Broadway and Fifth Avenue on and around eight floats. Ending in front of the Washington Square Memorial Arch, the parade culminated in 31 performances highlighting native New York dance styles such as hip-hop, jazz dance, break dancing, and salsa.
As defined by its Board of Directors, Dance parade’s mission is “to promote dance as an expressive and unifying art form by showcasing all forms of dance, educating the general public about the opportunities to experience dance, and celebrating diversity of dance in New York City by sponsoring a yearly city-wide dance parade and dance festival”.
The 2011 New York Dance Parade took place on Saturday May 21st. The parade featured swing dancing, samba, tango, pole dancers and more. Source

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

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

After visiting the Grand Canyon, we spent an afternoon visiting Williams, Arizona and walking down the old town Route 66 admiring the vintage buildings, cafes and shops. We still didn't see it all and want to return for another visit soon. In this shot of the cafe I used Photoshop filter "Fractalius" to enhance the original photo.
INFORMATION ON CRUISER'S CAFE 66:
Cruisers Cafe 66
233 W. Route 66
Williams, AZ
Enjoy a nostalgic experience at the Cruisers Cafe 66! Just imagine your favorite 1950s-style favorite high school hangout, add in cocktail service, and you have this charming Cafe. Here you will find classic American favorites, such as good burgers, steaks, ribs, seafood, salads, and malts. Special decor touches, such as the large mural, stuffed buffalo, and historic cars out front make this a Route 66 favorite. Adults and kids alike enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and the jukebox tunes.
INFORMATION ON WILLIAMS, ARIZONA & ROUTE 66:
Relive the glory of Old Route 66 on the Route 66 Loop Through Williams, Arizona, the only stretch of Route 66 on the National Historic Register. At the turn of the century a muddy pathway developed along the railroad tracks. Within 20 years private booster clubs linked together sections of road to form a ribbon from Chicago to the West and it was called the Old Trails National Highway.
John Steinbeck, in 1939, proclaimed Route 66 as the “Mother Road” in his classic novel The Grapes of Wrath. When the movie was made just a year later, it immortalized Route 66 in the American consciousness.
In 1926 U.S. Highway 66 was established to serve the ever increasing highway traffic. "Route 66", the Main Street of America, came right through Williams, and a great deal of tourist-related business grew up along the famous route.
The highway's heyday saw a succession of Dust Bowl migrants, World War II troops, families on vacation, and others making their way across "the mother road". But the increased traffic overwhelmed the highway and it was gradually replaced by the interstate system. In 1984, Williams became the last Route 66 town to be bypassed by the Interstate-40.
Much of Route 66 still remains as a reminder of the past, including the "loop" through Williams. Celebrating its heritage, the town of Williams recently returned Bill Williams Avenue to its original name of Route 66. This stretch of American history was awarded National Historic Register status in 1989. Williams' share of Route 66 is also home to The Route 66 Place, featuring Twister's Soda Fountain and the largest collection of Route 66 memorabilia in town.
Today you can cruise the loop on historic Route 66 in Williams, or take a leisurely stroll along the many shops and restaurants that line this legendary roadway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
October 13, 1984 (I wonder if it was a Friday) the last remaining stretch of Route 66 was bypassed by the opening of a six mile segment of nearby Interstate 40. But Williams lives on. It is another true Route 66 town. Williams not only survived but is at the heart of a Route 66 revival. The downtown area has been cleaned up; new streetlights, fresh paint, and sidewalks have brought the town back to life. The community takes pride in its special relationship to the Mother Road and it shows.
Williams was named for one of the most colorful of all Mountain Men, Old Bill Williams. Though it is debated whether he ever was in the area of the town and mountain that bears his name, it is a well known fact that he was "acquainted with every inch of the Far West" as he would have put it. Williams was founded in 1876 and nothing much happened here until the railroad arrived in 1882. In 1901 the Santa Fe Railroad laid tracks from Williams to the Grand Canyon and insured Williams' claim as Gateway to the Grand Canyon.
The Grand Canyon Railroad reopened in the late 1980's and started running train tours to the Grand Canyon from the beautiful Frey Marcos Harvey House and Depot which has been restored to its former grandeur. The Grand Canyon has always been a Route 66 destination though it is located 50 miles from the Mother Road. Route 66 was always the primary highway vacationers used to get there.
Route 66 souvenir shops offer every imaginable piece of memorabilia of the old road. There are plenty of fine motels and cafes that bring back the flavor of Route 66 in its hey day. Williams is a great place to stop and explore and maybe even stay a day or two if you have the time.

oh, and which should I make my 365? this or my previous post?
"I never found my wonderland,
I never fell through the looking glass.
In the mirror, all I see are vacant eyes,
past longing for a safe abode,
simply hoping for better than this.
this colorless wasteland I'm mired in.
tired of being burnt by this consuming flame,
I just want out. out. out."

Phacus acuminatus tiene el corazón verde y el alma de mariposa inquieta que revolotea en el agua como si lo hiciese en el aire. A pesar de ser alga Phacus es un diminuto y hermoso animalito que busca la luz del sol con su ojo de rubí y, elegante, siempre, muestra su cuerpo de hoja enfundado en una camisa fina y tiesa de rayas perfectas, lisas y transparentes como el agua, mientras se deja llevar por un corcel invisible del que solo ha quedado el látigo que serpentea como culebrilla inovensiva, llevando su cuerpo al vuelo de aquí para allá.
Phacus acuminatus es un hermano pequeño de Phacus pleuronectes , vive en lagunas de aguas limpias, en zonas de poca profundidad y además de su característico pequeño tamaño, la cola que remata su cuerpo apenas se prolonga, es muy corta, casi siempre recta y excepcionalmente, como en este caso, ligeramente curvada hacia un lateral.
El género Phacus está representado por cerca de 550 taxones diferentes y se incluye en la familia de las euglenas de la que se supone existen tantas especies conocidas como no descubiertas todavía. Casi todas ellas son formas móviles, sorprendentes por sus hábitos de vida, muchas de ellas presentan una mancha ocular de intenso color rojo que hace las funciones de un ojo, uno o dos flagelos para navegar, almacenan una sustancia especial de reserva parecida al almidón, el paramilo, que no existe ni en los animales ni en los vegetales y poseen una cubierta como una camisa ajustada y transparente, la película, que les da protección. Esta película está formada por proteínas y se dispone formando tiras longitudinales o helicoidales debajo de la membrana plasmática. En Phacus es rígida y más o menos elástica en Euglena, por eso, el movimiento en unos y otros seres es muy distinto, vuelo de mariposa en Phacus y exhibición de contorsionista en Euglena.
Hemos encontrado a Phacus en el Lago de Sanabria, a poca profundidad, junto a una surgencia de aguas sulfurosas. La imagen, tomada en vivo, a 400 aumentos con la técnica de contraste de interferencia, procede de una muestra recogida por Ruth Centeno desde el catamarán Helios Sanabria el primer catamarán del mundo propulsado por energía eólica y solar.

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

You know I had made my mind up to shoot Swallowtails the other day..I never saw any lol I did find this beautiful Red Admiral on my walk tho..The light was bright and I enjoyed watching it for quite some time........I enjoyed this one nectaring upside down..........
"The Red Admiral has a two inch (45-50mm) wing span."
"This large butterfly is identified by its striking dark brown, red and black wing pattern. More specifically, the dark wings possess orange bands that cross the fore wings and on the outer edge of the hind wings; white spots on the dorsal fore wings near the front margin; reddish bars on dorsal surface of all four wings The caterpillar feeds on nettles, and the adult drinks from flowering plants like the Buddleia and overripe fruit."
Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadian flickr friends!! I will be catching up later on with everyone..My hometown of Port Credit, Ontario is also celebrating it's 175th Birthday today with a "Paint The Town Red" celebration!! :)

Location: Southern End of the Maidan, Calcutta
Period of construction: 1839-1847
Dedicated to: St. Paul
Calcutta St. Paul's Cathedral is the first Episcopal Church of the Orient. Bishop Wilson patronized the construction of this beautiful church in 1839. The credit for the awesome designing of this Indo-Gothic architecture goes to Major W.N. Forbes. The work of establishing the St. Paul Cathedral of Kolkata, India was completed in 1847. It is situated at the southern end of the Maidan. The church was destroyed due to the earthquake of 1897 and then it was renovated. But, the earthquake of 1934 led to the collapse of the tower and eventually it was rebuilt on the lines of the Bell Harry Tower of Canterbury Cathedral. It is 247 ft. in length and 81 ft. in width. The main hall of the cathedral is very large containing splendid carved wooden pews and chairs. Its eastern walls are covered with intricate colorful artwork. The beautiful pictures describe the life and works of Saint Paul. The atmosphere of this cathedral is very tranquil. The architecture and the interim of the Saint Paul Cathedral is truly a feast for eyes.

"Je voudrais pas crever
Avant d'avoir connu
Les chiens noirs du Mexique
Qui dorment sans rêver
Les singes à cul nu
Dévoreurs de tropiques
Les araignées d'argent
Au nid truffé de bulles
Je voudrais pas crever
Sans savoir si la lune
Sous son faux air de thune
A un coté pointu
Si le soleil est froid
Si les quatre saisons
Ne sont vraiment que quatre
Sans avoir essayé
De porter une robe
Sur les grands boulevards
Sans avoir regardé
Dans un regard d'égout
Sans avoir mis mon zobe
Dans des coinstots bizarres
Je voudrais pas finir
Sans connaître la lèpre
Ou les sept maladies
Qu'on attrape là-bas
Le bon ni le mauvais
Ne me feraient de peine
Si si si je savais
Que j'en aurai l'étrenne
Et il y a aussi
Tout ce que je connais
Tout ce que j'apprécie
Que je sais qui me plaît
Le fond vert de la mer
Où valsent les brins d'algues
Sur le sable ondulé
L'herbe grillée de juin
La terre qui craquelle
L'odeur des conifères
Et les baisers de celle
Que ceci que cela
La belle que voilà
Mon Ourson, l'Ursula
Je voudrais pas crever
Avant d'avoir usé
Sa bouche avec ma bouche
Son corps avec mes mains
Le reste avec mes yeux
J'en dis pas plus faut bien
Rester révérencieux
Je voudrais pas mourir
Sans qu'on ait inventé
Les roses éternelles
La journée de deux heures
La mer à la montagne
La montagne à la mer
La fin de la douleur
Les journaux en couleur
Tous les enfants contents
Et tant de trucs encore
Qui dorment dans les crânes
Des géniaux ingénieurs
Des jardiniers joviaux
Des soucieux socialistes
Des urbains urbanistes
Et des pensifs penseurs
Tant de choses à voir
A voir et à z-entendre
Tant de temps à attendre
A chercher dans le noir
Et moi je vois la fin
Qui grouille et qui s'amène
Avec sa gueule moche
Et qui m'ouvre ses bras
De grenouille bancroche
Je voudrais pas crever
Non monsieur non madame
Avant d'avoir tâté
Le goût qui me tourmente
Le goût qu'est le plus fort
Je voudrais pas crever
Avant d'avoir goûté
La saveur de la mort..."

Chorlitejo Chico (Charadrius dubius) DISTRIBUCIÓN Mundial. Ampliamente distribuida por Europa y Asia. Se reproduce en zonas templadas y mediterráneas, e inverna en África central al sur del Sahara, generalmente entre el ecuador y aproximadamente los 18º N (Cramp & Simmons, 1983; Del Hoyo et al., 1996). En Europa, la distribución es discontinua y depende de la disponibilidad de zonas abiertas. En la Península y Baleares se encuentra la subespecie curonicus de distribución paleártica (Díaz et al., 1996) que inverna principalmente en África occidental, desde Mauritania al Chad y hacia el norte de la Republica Democrática del Congo. La población europea se ha estimado en 110.000-610.000 pp. (BirdLife International/EBCC, 2000) aunque las estimaciones más actuales la cifran en 101.000-196.000 pp. (Thorup, en prensa). España. Presente como reproductora en todas las comunidades autónomas, destaca por su abundancia en Andalucía, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León, Aragón y Cataluña. Cría también en Baleares, Canarias y Melilla, pero no se ha citado en Ceuta. Se reproduce en distintos tipos de hábitats interiores, fundamental- mente en orillas de ríos con guijarros y piedras, pero se ha adaptado bien a nuevos hábitats como las graveras. Durante la época no reproductora puede encontrarse en orillas fangosas interiores o en la costa (Domínguez, 1997; CMA-Junta de Andalucía, 2001). POBLACIÓN Y TENDENCIA EN ESPAÑA Según la información obtenida en el presente atlas, la población mínima se estima en 4.277 pp. (sin datos del 16% de cuadrículas). Valoraciones previas han cifrado la población en 2.500-3.300 pp. en la España peninsular (Hortas et al., 2000), y aproximadamente un centenar de parejas en Canarias (Martín & Lorenzo, 2001). Se desconoce en gran medida la tendencia de esta población aunque la diferencia de las estimas previas, de 1.600-2.300 pp. (Purroy, 1997), respecto a las más actuales deben corresponder, más que a un aumento real de la población, a una mejor cobertura de los censos. No obstante, en Cataluña se ha constatado un incremento de sus efectivos de al menos el 50% con un máximo de hasta 500 pp. (ICO, en preparación). Se han censado de 4,0 a 7,9 aves/km durante mayo y de 2,5 a 2,6 aves/km en junio en ríos del interior de la Península. Destaca un tramo del río Jarama de 61 km con 39 pp. (0,6 pp./km; Velasco, 1992). En Andalucía se estima un máximo de 350 pp. (Hortas et al., 2000); en Castilla y León hasta 1.200 pp. (Sanz-Zuasti & Velasco, 1999) y en Toledo y Cuenca unas 450 pp. (T. Velasco, com. pers.). En Aragón nidifican varios cientos de parejas (Bueno, 1995) y en las Islas Baleares unas 50 pp. (J. Mendez, S. Catchot y P. Tomas, com. pers.), frente a las 100 pp. estimadas en 1991 (GOB, 1991). AMENAZAS Y CONSERVACIÓN El principal problema para su conservación es la alteración o eliminación de su hábitat. La construcción de embalses ha propiciado que las riberas y graveras se hayan cubierto de vegetación al impedirse las avenidas primaverales de los ríos (Román et al., 1996). Otras amenazas son la contaminación y el encauzamiento de los cursos fluviales, las molestias humanas y la depredación por ratas y depredadores aéreos como el Aguilucho Lagunero (CMA-Junta de Andalucía, 2001). El dragado de ríos y las explotaciones de áridos pueden favorecer temporalmente la reproducción (Román et al., 1996). Por tanto, la gestión y manejo de graveras, una vez han cesado las actividades extractivas, puede potenciar sus efectivos. Asimismo el aumento de superficie de las orillas puede propiciar la nidificación (CMA-Junta de Andalucía, 2001).
