History: The A-26, the last aircraft designated as an "attack bomber," was designed to replace the Douglas A-20 Havoc/Boston. It incorporated many improvements over the earlier Douglas designs. The first three XA-26 prototypes first flew in July 1942, and each was configured differently: Number One as a daylight bomber with a glass nose, Number Two as a gun-laden night-fighter, and Number Three as a ground-attack platform, with a 75-millimeter cannon in the nose. This final variant, eventually called the A-26B, was chosen for production.
Upon its delivery to the 9th Air Force in Europe in November 1944 (and the Pacific Theater shortly thereafter), the A-26 became the fastest US bomber of WWII. The A-26C, with slightly-modified armament, was introduced in 1945. The A-26s combat career was cut short by the end of the war, and because no other use could be found for them, many A-26s were converted to JD-1 target tugs for the US Navy.
A strange aircraft-designation swap occurred in 1948, when the Martin B-26 Marauder was deactivated and the Douglas A-26 was re-designated the B-26. (It kept this designation until 1962.) B-26s went on to serve extensively in both the Korean and Vietnam wars. In Vietnam, they were commonly used in the Counter-Insurgency (COIN) role, with very heavy armament and extra power. This version, the B-26K, was based in Thailand and was, to confuse things further, called the A-26 for political reasons. B-26s were also used for training, VIP transport, cargo, night reconnaissance, missile guidance and tracking, and as drone-control platforms.
Post-war uses of the airplane included luxurious executive transport (Smith Tempo I; Tempo II and Biscayne 26; LAS Super-26; Berry Silver-Sixty; Monarch-26; On-Mark Marketeer/Marksman), aerial surveying and, most notably, firefighting, a role in which it is still occasionally used today.

pedo guy
An abbreviation of the word torpedo, pedo is a term of endearment often used by business magnates, investors and engineers, for a fast and excellent swimmer or diver. Sometimes, divers in Thailand who rescue young soccer teams from caves believe it means pedophile, but that's not the case.
PERSON 1: “Sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it.”
PERSON 2: "Did you just call me a pedophile?"
PERSON 1: No, it's short for torpedo. You swim really fast."
PERSON 2: "Oh my bad. And thank you. You are a true gentleman."
PERSON 1: "And you, sir, are a true pedo."

Pedo guy
Common insult used in South Africa in 1970s and 1980s. It is synonymous with “creepy old man” and is used to insult a person’s appearance and demeanor. Usually used in a very aristocratic way. As of lately, however, has become rare in spoken English due to increased avareness of term “pedophilia” among younger generation and millennials.
Other popular examples of psychological disorders being used as an insult include words “idiot”, “downs” and others.

Pedo guy
(noun) - Traditional South African insult, circa 1930's, originally aimed at people too poor to own a motor vehicle, and so were forced to remain as pedestrians.
More modern usage is by middle-class westerners who are so entrenched in their usage of vehicles with internal combustion engines, that they shun or eschew the development of electric vehicles (see also icing). i.e. they would rather choose to walk, than to drive an electric vehicle, even if it gives the appearance that they could be too poor to own a motor vehicle.
e.g. "I'd rather be a pedo guy than to buy a Nissan Leaf!"
Kazarap y Cheo. La pasamos bien esa tarde
Estoy de cumpleaños!. Ya tengo 18. No puedo decir algunas palabras porque estoy todo stresado con las postulaciones a la Universidad. Llamando, mandando mails y todo el asunto para ver si quedo en medicina en alguna universidad. Me llegaron algunas malas y otras buenas noticias. Ojalá quede en la U.
Quiero agradecer a todos mis amigos que me saludaron hoy y a todos los flickeros que comentan mis fotos.
Feliz Navidad para todos!.
Kazarap and Cheo. Nice evening we had then.
Today it’s my birthday, I’m 18 now. I can’t say some deep words, ‘cause I’m completely freaked out with admission to universities. Calling, sending e-mails and all kind of things to see if I get to study medicine on any university. I recieved some bad and good news. I hope I can get there.
I just want to say thanks to all my friends that said Happy Birthday today and all the flickr people that comment my photos ^^.
Merry Christmas to everybody!
Quiapo Church, officially known as Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene, is a Roman Catholic church located in the District of Quiapo, Manila, in the Philippines. The church is one of the most popular churches in the country. It is home to the Black Nazarene, a much venerated statue of Jesus Christ which many people believe has miraculous attributes. The church was painted cream after the original Mexican Baroque edifice was burned down in 1928. Also known as St. John the Baptist Parish, the church at present belongs to the Archdiocese of Manila. The current rector is Rev. Msgr. Jose Clemente Ignacio, who succeeded Msgr. Josefino Ramirez (the Vicar General of the archdiocese) upon the latter's appointment as rector of the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Maysilo, Mandaluyong City.
The Quiapo Church holds a weekly novena every Friday and a procession every year on January 9 devoted to the Black Nazarene. Both are attended by thousands of devotees. Many sick people come to see the Black Nazarene, hoping that getting a chance to pray in front of its miraculous image would heal their sicknesses.

Location: 315 W. St. Julian Street, Savannah, Georgia.
Belford's is situated in a beautiful old brick building in the heart of Savannah's National Landmark Historic District. The building is listed in Historic Savannah Foundation's architectural inventory as a notable example of its style and is praised in architectural surveys for its arched windows, exposed brick walls and doorways with semicircular, segmental arched toplights.
The design is attributed to Hyman W. Witcover, a practicing architect in Savannah from 1897 to 1923, who also designed Savannah's City Hall, the Main Library Building on Bull Street and many of the fine residences located in the Chatham Crescent section of Savannah's Ardsley Park. Witcover, a member of the American Institute of Architects, was the first president of the Savannah Society of Architects.
The structure was completed in 1902 for Savannah's Hebrew Congregation. In 1913, the Congregation sold the building to W.T. Belford for $23,000. In the hands of the Belford family, whose early 1900's portrait hangs on the West wall of our main dining room, the building became an important wholesale food company in Savannah. The Belford signs painted on the west side of the building and under the front awning remain to this day, faded by years of weather.
The Belford's Wholesale Food company was an active and integral part of The City Market, the bustling social and commercial heart of early Savannah. The actual market, a splendid edifice with soaring brick arches and open-air stalls for the sale of produce, fish, meat and baked goods, was located in the area now occupied by the City Market Parking Garage on Ellis Square. The demolition of that market in the late 1950's was a tragedy in the eyes of local preservationists and was the catalyst that began the preservation and restoration movement in Savannah. Ironically, the demolition of the original City Market probably saved four blocks of surrounding feed, seed, grain and produce warehouses - collectively now known as City Market - including the Belford building, now known as Belford's Savannah.
Belford's has hosted a number of notable figures, including well-known Hollywood personalities Clint Eastwood, Debra Winger, Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, Robert Altman and Garrison Keilor of Lake Woebegone fame who have delighted in the atmosphere of bygone days and incomparable cuisine. Wonderful wines accompany Belford's fine food in surroundings that whisper their history on both sides of the arched windows.
Look around you. The walls carry framed photographs of the area as it appeared during the hey-day of Belford's Wholesale Foods, many of which were provided by the Belford family. There is no experience like it in Savannah ... perhaps, anywhere.

History: The prototype of the Skyraider was first flown on 18 March 1945. Designed as a robust, multi-role attack aircraft for the US Navy, the carrier-based Skyraider was able to carry a wide variety of weapons on its numerous wing hard points. The Skyraider first saw combat in the Korean War, where its long loiter time and heavy load-hauling capability gave it a distinct utility advantage over the jet aircraft of the time.
Various versions were developed over the years; the most numerous types being: AD-1 (Initial production version with 2500hp R-3350 engine); AD-2 (Improved AD-1 with wheel-well covers and increased fuel load, etc.); AD-3 (Redesigned canopy, improved propeller, etc.); AD-4 (2700hp R-3350 engine, further canopy improvements, etc.); AD-4W (3-seat Early Warning version); AD-5 (4-seat multi-role version. Many variants of the AD-5 were capable of carrying up to 12 passengers in the rear fuselage); AD-6 (Single-seat attack version).
During the 1960s, the AD-x designations were changed to A-1D through A-1J. The A-1 series was operated with enormous success during the Vietnam War, where it was used in the Ground Attack, Forward Air Control, and Search and Rescue roles. The AD-6 and AD-7 were used by the French Armee de l'Air in Algeria.

Descripción de una mujer
Una mujer exquisita no es aquella que más hombres tiene a sus pies,
sino aquella que tiene uno solo que la hace realmente feliz.
Una mujer hermosa no es la más joven, ni la más flaca, ni la que tiene el cutis más terso o el cabello más llamativo, es aquella que con tan
solo una sonrisa y un buen consejo puede alegrarte la vida.
Una mujer valiosa no es aquella que tiene más títulos, ni más cargos
académicos es aquella que sacrifica su sueño por hacer felices a los
demás.
Una mujer exquisita no es la más ardiente, sino la que vibra al hacer
el amor solamente con el hombre que ama.
Una mujer interesante no es aquella que se siente halagada por ser
admirada por su belleza y elegancia, es aquella mujer firme de
carácter que puede decir NO.
Y un hombre, un hombre exquisito es aquel que valora una mujer así.
Gabriel García Márquez
De momento..16 cosas sobre mi....
1... nací bajo el signo de Escorpio, marcada desde entonces por un carácter peculiar que sólo los que me conocen saben como sobrellevarlo. Digamos que soy de espiritu mosqueón...
2... me agrada hacer reir a la gente. Cuando veo que alguien se lo pasa bien conmigo, creo que soy un poquito mas feliz...
3... no me gustan los perros. No quiere decir que los odio, pero no los quiero cerca mía...
4... Me gusta leer aunque ultimamente lo tenga abandonado...
5... se cocinar rico ( o por lo menos eso dicen ) y soy un desastre para casi todo los demás...
6... No me importa cortarme el pelo y me gusta llevarlo como una loca...
7... Echo demasiado de menos siempre a mi hermana porque está lejos... aunque cuando está cerca no la llamo...

10... Soy zurda y me encanta, aunq sea una tonteria.
11... Puedo escuchar todo tipo de música sin quejarme...
12... No puedo dormir con calcetines y me dejo caer sobre el lado derecho...
13... Soy buena para escuchar, pero creo que no muy buena para dar consejos... Todo lo soluciono con besitos y achuchones...
14... Hoy por hoy, soy feliz con lo que tengo... Vivo al día pero no mal, y no soy capaz de ahorrar ni un puñetero euro...
15... Me gustan las personas educadas, odio la falta de respeto y generalmente no me callo cuando algo no me parece bien...
16... Tengo una pareja que vale millones...

Maria Waldrast (means "Maria Rest-in-the-Forest" in English) is one of the highest Convents in Europe - 1641m (5383 Ft.) Altitude. It is located in Tirol, Austria, near Matrei am Brenner. The Foundation of the Convent is based upon a Story, that says, that in the Year 1407 two Herdsmen found an Effigy of the Virgin Mother in a Tree Trunk.
It is a very popular Place of Pilgrim here in Tirol - located very solitary in the Middle of the Mountains. There is a Spring with right-turning Spa-Water - right turning Water is very seldom and really amazing to drink. You can't compare it with any other Water in the World. It's a Healing Water too, and many People come up here to fill the Water and take it home - it is drinkable for a long Time. I did the same today and also made a Prayer for my Family and some Friends.
A very calmful and contemplative Place up there.

In April
~by James Hearst ~
This I saw on an April day:
Warm rain spilt from a sun-lined cloud,
A sky-flung wave of gold at evening,
And a cock pheasant treading a dusty path
Shy and proud.
And this I found in an April field:
A new white calf in the sun at noon,
A flash of blue in a cool moss bank,
And tips of tulips promising flowers
To a blue-winged loon.
And this I tried to understand
As I scrubbed the rust from my brightening plow:
The movement of seed in furrowed earth,
And a blackbird whistling sweet and clear
From a green-sprayed bough.

I'm a daylight photographer, I don't like using flash and am not good at nightscenes. Today was a very rainy day, and I needed a 365 shot for today and a blue and white shot for a contest in the Challenge Club ---> So I took a picture of the swimmingpool where I did my ten 50 meter laps tonight and immediately thought about one of my fave music tracks ! Pic taken without flash, I was helped by the huge spotlights lighting the place up and I was the last swimmer, so no ripples :-)

Alright, it's a new year and I thought about restarting a 365 but then I went back and looked through all that I've already done and written about and I couldn't just abandon it for a new one. So instead of starting fresh, I'm giving it a second chance and picking up with the # that January 1st is supposed to be, even though I last left off at 86. I'll catch up when I have time. Also, a new stipulation is the shot has to be taken each day. Something pertinent about each day. Anyways, the point is....the holiday madness is over, the month of December is over, and now life can get leveled.
For me, December held frigid weather, work, good friends, heartbreak, apartment hunting, lease signing, going broke, and moving. It also held guilt for letting my photography... my one and only outlet... fall by the wayside. But no more. Thank god it was only a month, or else I would feel worse and it would be even harder to pick it back up. December was emotionally exhausting, which is saying a lot since the month before it was just as, if not more, emotionally exhausting.
But I've made some personal decisions. I am going to avoid further emotional exhaustion and focus on simplicity, inner peace, and loving myself. I will surround myself with creative people with good hearts and goals. I will be honest with myself and those I am close to. Most of all, I will forgive myself.
Easy enough right? And I will think positive thoughts before fall asleep.
I think I made my feet look sufficiently horror-movie gritty. Anyone care to fund a pedicure? I've never had one and I guess it's supposed to be nice.
Happy new year, Flickrs.

According to Wikipedia, the Clouded Leopard is a cat found from the Himalayan foothills through mainland Southeast Asia into China, and has been classified as vulnerable since 2008 by IUCN. Its total population size is suspected to be fewer than 10,000 mature individuals, with a decreasing population trend, and no single population numbering more than 1,000 adults. The clouded leopard is considered to form an evolutionary link between the big cats and the small cats. The Sunda Clouded Leopard found on Sumatra and Borneo is genetically distinct and has been considered a separate species since 2006. Both species are the smallest of the big cats, and are not closely related to the leopard. Clouded Leopards weigh between 25 and 51 lbs (11.5 - 23 kg). Females vary in head-to-base-of-tail length from 27 to 37 inches (69 - 94cm), with a tail 24 to 32 inches (61 - 81cm) long. Males are larger at 32 to 43 inches (81 - 109cm) with a tail 29 to 36 inches (74 - 91cm) long. Their shoulder height varies from 20 to 22 inches (51 - 56cm). They have exceptionally long, piercing canine teeth, the upper being about three times as long as the basal width of the socket. The upper pair of canines may measure 1.6 inches (4cm) or longer. They are often referred to as a “modern-day saber tooth” because they have the largest canines in proportion to their body size, matching the tiger in the length of their canines.
took several shots from the sidewalk. there was a crowd of indian people chatting to the right of me. so i got this view - sewer on my shot.. wasn't trying to be prejudice by saying "indian people". i could tell they were - maybe pakistani - who knows. women wore their nice dresses or wrap. they were just loud! and i didn't understand what they were speaking....
"look at this idiot here trying to take a pic of the sewer!. ha - hah...." (translated in english) - one indian or pakistani man probably said to his friends and family....
lol.... who knows what they said about me..
my family were taking a walk & when they say me they thought i was part of them... they were laughing. "we can't tell if that was you. lol", they said.... (it's my dark skin) it was funny...
but i wish i was on the other side though after looking @ my pics....... it's crappy..
bad or good - all comments are welcome.....
El Templo de Viracocha ( Cultura incaica - Imperio incaico )
.
www.inkaexpress.com.pe/eng/raqchi.php
.
Raqchi es un sitio arqueológico de los Incas en la región Cusco en Perú también conocido como el Templo de Wiracocha. Un pueblo cercano tiene el mismo nombre. Ambos se encuentran alo lado del Río Vilcanota ( Rio Urubamba ). El sitio ha experimentado un reciente aumento en el turismo en los últimos años, con 83.334 visitantes al sitio en 2006, frente a 8.183 en 2000 y 452 en 1996.
A 117 km ( 2 horas ) desde la ciudad Cusco se encuentra una de las construcciones mas grandes de los Incas. El templo fue destruido en la conquista, pero lo que hoy queda es suficiente para encender la imaginacion y ver cuan grandioso fue 92 metros ( 302 ft ) de largo y 25.5 metros ( 84 ft ) de ancho. El templo es de paredes de adobe y la base de piedras volcanicas ( el Andesita ) en el estilo tipico de los Incas. Esto Templo se compone de un muro de adobe central de la altura entre 18 y 20 metros. Está flanqueada a cada lado por una hilera de once columnas. Antes de su destrucción por los españoles, el templo tenía el mayor techo en el tiempo de Imperio Inca, que tiene su pico en la pared central ( 18 y 20 metros ), a continuación, se extiende sobre las columnas en anchura de 25 metros ( 82 ft ) más allá de cada lado. El templo solo para ser el edificio más grande en el Imperio Inca.
El complejo tambien incluye areas residenciales y graneros, donde se guardaban alimentos. Junto al templo al norte son doce viviendas, que habría albergado a los sacerdotes y los administradores locales. El salón está dividido en lotes separados cuadrado mayor de los cuales es aproximadamente 4x6m. Todos tienen nichos en las paredes que podrían haber sido utilizados para el almacenamiento. Para el lado oriental del templo son unos 100 qolqas (.almacenes rondas.) en líneas paralelas, cada uno mide unos 10 metros ( 33 ft ) de diámetro. Estos almacenes se utiliza para mantener los granos, como el maíz y quinoa. Los depósitos también son únicos ya que a diferencia de otras estructuras en todo el imperio que no son cuadrados acorralado. La razón de esto es desconocido. Un empleo ritual de los productos alimenticios y una economía de campo perfecta se consideran como probable. las hambrunas eran desconocidas antes de la llegada de los españoles en el imperio de los Incas.
Al oeste del templo es un gran campo, ahora se utilizan por los lugareños para la agricultura,
que podría haber sido un parque de atracciones o mantener desbordamiento de fieles desde el mismo templo. En el extremo occidental de este campo es un conjunto de baños como en los sitios importantes a lo largo del imperio.

I have had kind of this shot in my head for a while, but in mono. This was the original idea today as well, but the striking blue color at dusk was to good to throw away.
Believe it or not, this is straight out of the raw file. No color boosting. Should really be viewed large on black
Taken for my Project 365. Your comments are appreciated, it gives me the motivation to continue.

Additional info - source Wikipedia:
The construction of the Gothic style Cathedral of St Bartholomew, located on the main square, started in 1295 and was finished by the beginning of 16th century. The building is 58m long, 30m wide and the spires are 25m high. The tallest spire is 102.3m high, being the highest in the Czech Republic, and also the third tallest building in the Czech Republic.
The Great Synagogue in Plzeň, Czech Republic is the second largest synagogue in Europe. The mixture of styles is truly bewildering; from the onion domes of a Russian orthodox church, to the Islamic style ceiling, to the distinctly Indian looking Aron kodesh. The synagogue was used without interruption until the Nazi occupation of World War II, and the Jewish community that retook possession of the synagogue at the end of hostilities had been decimated by the Holocaust. The last regular service was held in 1973, and then the synagogue was closed down and allowed to fall into disrepair under communist rule. Restoration was undertaken from 1995-98, and the synagogue was reopened on February 11, 1998 at a cost of 63 million Kč. The building is now put to good use with the central hall used for concerts from such legends as Joseph Malowany, Peter Dvorský, or Karel Gott, while the walls play host to temporary photographic exhibitions of various worthy-causes. The synagogue is still used for worship, but only in what was formerly the winter prayer room. The present number of Plzen Jews is a little over seventy

This is Rita, a statue I found about 8 years ago.
I was in a store and saw her face and loved it! I picked her up and was surprised how heavy she was. She is made of sand, and on the bottom there was a tag that said "Rita", which made me love it more..that was my Mom's name.
I researched the name, but came up with nothing. I thought it might be an Indian goddess, but flower looks Polynesian?
She is the color of sand on a beach...but (of course) I shot her in B&W.
Taken in my window in Brooklyn...
Happy Halloween all....

"La solitude est une condition nécessaire de la liberté" 2005.
Exposition "Portrait au Palazzo Madama" de Turin, une série de portraits, de portraits vidéo que l'on sent palpiter sous notre regard, portraits disséminés au milieu des tableaux et des oeuvres permanentes du musée. Une découverte amusante et parfois impressionnante comme la succession de plusieurs expressions dont j'ai fait un collage... plus ou moins réussi... Trois expressions de Gao Xingjian, prix Nobel de la littérature en 2000 pour son oeuvre fascinante, oeuvre d'un peintre, d'un poète et d'un philosophe. En particulier "La Montagne de l'âme", roman complet de la "sinitude" retrouvée, tour à tour autobiographique, récit picaresque ou burlesque, introspection, reflet critique de la réalité, poème lyrique..., la Montagne de l'âme est le grand roman asiatique de la fin du XXème siècle.
J'ai eu l'occasion de le rencontrer lors du festival de littérature (Letteraltura) qui a lieu tous les ans, fin juin, à Verbania. J'ai surtout pu échanger avec lui une conversation, et conserver ainsi la beauté et la force intérieures de cet homme que j'ai trouvé Grandissime malgré sa petite taille... Un moment inoubliable.
(L'auteur de ces portraits vidéo est Robert Wilson, qui a défini ses portraits comme des "fenêtres ouvertes sur un autre monde", résultat d'une perfection technologique, mélange de lumières et de couleurs, de respirations que l'on perçoit, tout comme des battements de cils ou de paupières qui s'entrouvrent, etc).

From My Blog
I have only a couple of weeks left here in Japan and kept realizing that there were quite a few shots that I did not have due to my short notice move to Turkey before last summer. Now that I am back, I now have only a few weekends left before leaving Japan for good. We basically only had this last weekend as our only time when we don’t have something planned and getting a good shot of Fuji was one of “those shots” I was missing out on. So we threw our sleeping bags into our small little Toyota Starlet to camp out on Friday night for a 4am viewing of Fuji across Lake Motosu as long as our luck way for clear viewing conditions.
Two people sleeping in a Toyota Starlet goes against the grain of the universe and I would never recommend anyone ever try that. On top of not being able to sleep in 3 cubic feet worth of space, I also omitted my allergy meds, and allergies in Japan kick my ass. Luckily the weather cooperated and we had our first clear skies in what seemed like weeks. Not only did we get an awesome viewing at Lake Motosu, but we were also able to get some nice warm light paint on Fuji across nearby Lake Saiko.

A Must View Large On Black for Details
That is what he is known as, so at this point i think you should open up another window in your internet browser and google him or check out the website www.thejesusguy.com . The site was made by a movie director whom actually has made a documentary film on James.
James which he goes by is his middle name and he does not say he is Jesus but at first glance he sure does look like him, wearing only a robe and walking the country barefoot, James has traveled to 47 states and several different countries. With only a bible and his toothbrush. He doesnt use money and wont accept it, he lives off of what he is given.
So today i was killing a hour before i had to pick my father up from a meeting and i saw a man who looked like Jesus walking down a major road bare foot, so having my camera on me i instantly turned around and snapped some shots of him while he was walking. I then decided to get out of the car and talk to him, i talked to him for almost a hour and even walked about a mile with him as he was heading to Tampa.
He never once pressed Religion on me, he asked about my beliefs but never went further than that, i then brought it up later on. He was the most warm hearted man i have ever met in my life and if anyone ever see him, i really think you should take the time to talk to him.
I am not a very religious person and its a rather hot topic with me, but after speaking with him i feel my spiritual beliefs have become more open.
Thank you James and i hope to see you again in the future, my prayers are with you on your Journey.
My return home from Pennsylvania required a stopover in Phoenix, Arizona. Remind me to never fly so far south when flying across the country -- going from Pittsburgh to San Francisco by way of a city near the Mexican border doesn't do anything to shorten your travel time.
On the flight from Phoenix to the Bay Area, I sat next to the most nervous flyer I've ever encountered. On the ground, she was friendly, conversational, ordinary. In the air, she was wild-eyed and terrified. When the plane hit turbulence, she'd cower into the wall next to her window seat. Sometimes she'd flail her arms or cover her face. Her hands shook. I'd never been around someone who was feeling such primal terror.
The weather was stormy in the Bay Area, and the landing approach was rough. Her convulsions reached a frenzy, and she turned to me and apologized. I put my hand on her arm. "It's okay. Just remember: this is safer than the car you're getting into when you land. It's the safest way to travel."
"I know. I'm trying." Then she looked at me. "My sister and her husband were killed in a plane crash."
Oh.
Nothing refutes statistics like experience. All I could do was sympathize and share a similar story. I'm not sure it helped, but at least we were on the ground by the time I was done.
Incredibly, my fearful flyer has to face her terror every two weeks. She likes to sit in the front of the plane, where she can watch the flight attendants when they're strapped into their takeoff and landing seats. "If they look nervous, then I know something's really wrong."
Every two weeks she faces the worst demons in her world. She stares down the scars of the past in order to make her way. I guess you can't ask more than that of anyone.
It's good to be home.
I insist! View On Black
I know this is a bit long but I thought it was a cute poem!
I Found a Four-Leaf Clover
by Jack Prelutsky
I found a four-leaf clover
and was happy with my find,
but with time to think it over,
I’ve entirely changed my mind.
I concealed it in my pocket,
safe inside a paper pad,
soon, much swifter than a rocket,
my good fortune turned to bad.
I smashed my fingers in a door,
I dropped a dozen eggs,
I slipped and tumbled to the floor,
a dog nipped both my legs,
my ring slid down the bathtub drain,
my pen leaked on my shirt,
I barked my shin, I missed my train,
I sat on my dessert.
I broke my brand-new glasses,
and I couldn’t find my keys,
I stepped in spilled molasses,
and was stung by angry bees.
When the kitten ripped the curtain,
and the toast burst into flame,
I was absolutely certain
that the clover was to blame.
I buried it discreetly
in the middle of a field,
now my luck has changed completely,
and my wounds have almost healed.
If I ever find another,
I will simply let it be,
or I’ll give it to my brother—
he deserves it more than me.

I was shooting Gina in a halter top and had the idea of throwing this on top of her. I love this shawl....lol I have used it in many different ways and I keep finding new ways to use it.
I wanted to shoot Gina as a beautiful and sexy woman but, with class!! I am tired of seeing glamour photography that shows the model in the wrong light.
Please do not ask and/or invite any of these images to a group where nudity is displayed.

Quiapo Church, officially known as Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene, is a Roman Catholic church located in the District of Quiapo, Manila, in the Philippines. The church is one of the most popular churches in the country. It is home to the Black Nazarene, a much venerated statue of Jesus Christ which many people believe has miraculous attributes. The church was painted cream after the original Mexican Baroque edifice was burned down in 1928. Also known as St. John the Baptist Parish, the church at present belongs to the Archdiocese of Manila. The current rector is Rev. Msgr. Jose Clemente Ignacio, who succeeded Msgr. Josefino Ramirez (the Vicar General of the archdiocese) upon the latter's appointment as rector of the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Maysilo, Mandaluyong City.
The Quiapo Church holds a weekly novena every Friday and a procession every year on January 9 devoted to the Black Nazarene. Both are attended by thousands of devotees. Many sick people come to see the Black Nazarene, hoping that getting a chance to pray in front of its miraculous image would heal their sicknesses.
"It's hard to be a man
But I'm doing all I can
I'm ready to give this all I have
I'm ready to be amazed
'Cause I'm standing here alone
Trying to make this life my own
And nothing will keep this heart from beating
I'm still breathing
Promise me some dignity
If I were to stand and die here
'Cause my heart is somewhere else
It's a pain I've never felt
Time's racing (Please slow down)
I got to find my way out
I'm hopeless (But hoping)
My lungs won't fail me now
'Cause I'm still breathing."
--"Still Breathing" by Mayday Parade

The portico is sculpted in polished alabaster, following the designs of Yáñez de la Almedina (like in the door frames of the high altarpiece and in the organ furniture). It is one of the first and best examples of the Roman or Spanish renaissance style (around 1500)
The lower arches are noteworthy, as well as the composition of pilasters and arches, leant on the columns and entablature, bas-reliefs with vertical motifs and a rich variety of eagles, roses and plants.
The high-relief of alabaster depicting the Resurrection of the Lord is made by Gregorio de Biguerny. It was placed in that place in early 16th century. It still keeps remains of the polychrome and of the gilding that decorated the original appearance.
Retro choir
Reconstructed in the 18th century though it keeps elements from the original one. It is a monument to the Holy Eucharist.
Relic of St.Vincent the Martyr
St. Vincent, deacon of Saragossa, was tortured
in Valencia during the persecution of Diocletian in 304. His worship spread across the Church rapidly and was considered one of the main representative saints of Spain.
Towards 1104, the Bishop of Valencia of the time went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and carried with him the left arm mummified of St. Vincent. As this ecclesiastic died suddenly in Bari (Italy), the relic was left there and was being passed on up to being in possession of Mr. Pietro Zampieri from Vigonovo (Venice). In 1970 he gave it to the Cathedral together with the bronze reliquary made in a Venecian style.

The small sparrows strained themselves by the grate, they pecked the food of the parrots, and fled quickly.
Los pequeños gorriones se colaban por la reja, picoteaban la comida de los loros, y huían veloces.
ENGLISH
The White-fronted Amazon, Amazona albifrons also known as White-fronted Parrot, or adopted slang term Spectacled Amazon Parrot is a Central American species of parrot. Not to be confused with the Red-spectacled Amazon Parrot.
The White-fronted Amazon is relatively small when compared to other Amazons. At maturity this species will grow to a typical length of only nine to ten inches. This species is named for the bright white patch of feathers which is seen on their foreheads, although the amount of white varies from individual to individual. They have green plumage throughout, red coloring around their eyes (in some individuals almost like a mask) and blue coloring on their outspread wings and behind the patch of white on their foreheads. Unlike other amazon species, males and females can be distinguished by appearance (sexual dimorphism): males have bright red feathers on their shoulders (alula), while females have green shoulders. The species is divided into three subspecies, differentiated by slight colour differences: the White-fronted Amazon (A. a. albifrons), the Lesser White-fronted Amazon (A. a. nana) and the Sonora White-fronted Amazon (A. a. saltuensis). Like other large parrots, the White-fronted Parrot has a long life span, usually around 40 years when properly cared for. They also can imitate a range from 30 to 40 different sounds.

CASTELLANO
El loro frente blanca, frentiblanco, amazona frente blanca o cotorra (Amazona albifrons) es una especie de loro endémico de América Central.
A pesar de que el loro frente blanca tiene un tamaño promedio cuando se le compara al resto de los loros, es relativamente más pequeño cuando se le compara a otros pertenecientes al género Amazona. Esta especie se desarrolla hasta alcanzar, en la madurez, una talla típica de solo 22 a 25 cm. Recibe su nombre por la mancha blanca brillante que se le observa en la frente, a pesar de que la cantidad de blanco varía de un individuo a otro. Tienen plumaje verde en todo el cuerpo, con un anillo rojo alrededor de los ojos (en algunos individuos forma casi una “máscara”) y plumas azules visibles al desplegar las alas y detrás de la mancha blanca de la frente.
A diferencia de otras especies de amazonas, existe dimorfismo sexual (machos y hembras pueden ser diferenciados a simple vista): Los machos presentan plumas color rojo brillante en la alula, mientras que las hembras no la poseen o se distingue muy poco. Esta especie se divide en tres subespecies diferenciadas por cambios menores de color: el loro frente blanca (A. a. albifrons), El loro frente blanca menor (A. a. nana) y el loro frente blanca de Sonora (A. a. saltuensis). Como la mayoría de los loros mayores, el loro frente blanca tiene un período de vida bastante largo, comúnmente alrededor de 50 años o mas.

"in the flesh" ( part 7 )
year : 2008
placement : left arm / near the elbow
complete time : 4 hours so far,lots more to do
Chronology : 10th session
So continuing my matrix theme, the rabbit and the pills are to the left,
just barely going out onto my bicep,and the cables continue to wrap.
the cord on the far bottom right actually goes just barely onto the actual elbow bone.
its going to be "plugged into" my elbow when its finally finished.
The large "E" is the symbol for the last band i was in, Ermorden.
out of the 4 of us i am the only one with any ink from that band time.
for those who don't know,being in a band of struggling musicians,and
playing shows,writing songs,and trying to record an album is not
easy / always fun work.Dealing with everyones schedules and attitudes is
much like having 3 girlfriends all at once. at least,when it works right it is.
you all hang out,combine your creative ideas and efforts and all feel
the dissapointment when things go sour.
i put 2 years of my life into this band. writing and recording music.
lining up live shows around seattle,and training to do the best
performances we could. the artwork,samples, swag design and
flyers were just one element that i had on my plate. Designing music videos and creating DVDs of our live shows was also mine.
I may play the drums, so its easy to say, "oh .. he just hits things."
i helped write and create all of our songs,not just create the rhythm.
but the truth was i felt like the Dad of the band most of the time.
nobody felt it harder when things fell apart and the band self-destructed.
I haven't been in a band since. i still do music on the side with the
guitarist , but its nowhere near the intensity of being in an active band.
this is my tombstone for that group,i guess you could say.
My fond farewell.
