There is no great big ending, no sunset in the sky
There is no string ensemble, and she doesn't even cry
And just as I begin to say that we should make another try
She reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye
There is no big explosion, no tempest in the tea
The world does not stop turning round, there's no big tragedy
Sitting in a coffee shop with cheesecake and some apple pie
She reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye
Good-bye, said so easily, Good-bye, said so quietly
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye,
just two always strangers avoid each other's eyes
One still make believing, one still telling lies,
she tells me that I'm not to blame
But when I ask the reason why
She reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye
Good-bye, said so easily. Good-bye, said so quietly
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
She reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye
Good-bye (she quietly says) / sung by Frank Sinatra
Since Tom decided he's going to beat me up and steal my 135L, I might as well use it some more before it's gone. Did I mention the bokeh on this thing is insane?

If you would like to get a custom made boat like this one, or similar, look at:
If not, enjoy your visit to my stream.
The layout design is based on the Gokstad ship built in Norway 1200 years ago. Total length is 16,5m and a greatest width is 4,3m. It carves just 1m and is powered with two 75hp diesel engines, allowing speed up to 11 miles/hour. On sails the expected speed will be up to 10 miles at least (now at the first trial it is 8 miles and increasing). Inside you will find three two people cabins, each with its own wc and shower. The whole ship is made of maghony and eruko wood.
"Can't make my own decisions or make any with precision
Well maybe you should tie me up so I don't go where you don't want me
You say that I been changing, that I'm not just simply aging
Yeah how could that be logical?
Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat
Oh oh oh ohhhh
You don't have to believe me,
but the way I way I see it
next time you point a finger,
I might have to bend it back
or break it break it off
whoa
next time you point a finger
I hope it's at the mirror.
If God's the game you're playing, then we must get more acquainted,
It must be so lonely... to be the only one who's holy
It's just my humble opinion, but one I firmly believe in
You don't deserve a point of view, if the only thing you see is you."

The Madison Range is a mountain range located in the Rocky Mountains of Montana and Idaho. The range was named in honor of future President of the United States, then U.S. Secretary of State James Madison by Meriwether Lewis as the Lewis and Clark Expedition travelled through Montana in 1805. The range extends 80 miles from West Yellowstone, Montana to Bozeman, Montana and is flanked by the Madison River on the west and the Gallatin River to the east. The highest point in the range is Hilgard Peak at 11,316 ft, a remote peak that wasn't climbed until 1948. The Madison Range is the westernmost section of what is collectively referred to as the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Most of the range lies within Beaverhead-Deerlodge and Gallatin National Forests. A small portion of the range has been further protected with the creation of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness. The region has grizzly and black bears and at least one pack of wolves. Most other larger mammal species native to the region continue to exist in the range. Not far to the south of Hilgard Peak, lies Quake Lake, which was created after the 1959 Yellowstone earthquake, a 7.5 magnitude earthquake, caused a huge landslide which dammed the Madison River.

Settlement of the Madison Valley followed on the heels of the Gold Rush to Alder Gulch in the mid-1860s. Homesteaders grazed their livestock in the lush meadows of the valley and surrounding mountains, raising beef and mutton to feed the miners.
Today, in addition to meat production, these ranches serve another important ecological role-maintaining pen space and a place for wildlife to prosper.
Thousands of elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, and other smaller animals live, eat, and migrate through the valley. While public lands of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest provide protected habitat in the mountains surrounding the valley, ranch lands of the valley bottom provide essential food, security, and freedom of movement for many animals, particularly in winter.
One of the greatest threats to wildlife is the loss of this critical habitat to human encroachment. As ranches are subdivided, the open space and abundant food supply these area ranches provide are lost.
The locals hope you enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Madison Valley, and trust you will also appreciate the ecological relationship between ranches and wildlife habitat.

Spillage of uranium-bearing effluents into the environment at the SOCATRI nuclear facility (Drôme, France)
During the night of 7 to 8 July, for a so far unknown reason, a tank of the Uranium-bearing Effluent Treatment Station (STEU) of the SOCATRI* company flowed over its retention tank. This retention tank being undergoing works was not tight at that time. These effluents, on one hand, percolated in the soil within the SOCATRI facility boundary and on the other hand, flowed to the “Gaffière” river and then to the “Lauzon” river through rain collectors.
SOCATRI initially evaluated the release to about 30 m3 of uranium-bearing solution with a concentration of about 12 grams of natural uranium per litre. A new evaluation performed by the utility lead to lower estimates.
For the sake of precaution, ASN advised the Prefects of the Drôme and Vaucluse départements to take, not awaiting the results of expertises, restriction measures of nautical and fishing practices and use of water for irrigation and drinking purposes.
SOCATRI performed today, July 9th, a removal of the contaminated soil on its site so as to prevent the underground migration of uranium. ASN requested IRSN to confirm the efficacy of such a countermeasure.
The measurements performed by SOCATRI in the water table, in private wells as well as in the neighbouring ponds of the « Trop Long », the «Baltraces » and the « Girardes » do not exhibit an abnormal increase of the uranium concentration from the natural level. Monitoring by SOCATRI of surface waters of the « Gaffière and Lauzon » show a fast decrease of the uranium concentration. The last measured values in these rivers outside the SOCATRI site boundary are of the order of guide value of the World Heath Organisation (WHO) for drinkable waters.
ASN requested the utility to perform measurements in the riverbeds of the Gaffière and the Lauzon so as to detect a possible uranium deposition.
ASN requested IRSN to proceed to independent measurements from those performed by the utility and to determine the best additional means of surveillance of the radioactivity of the water table.
The precautionary measures will be discontinued depending on the results of the ongoing expertises.
ASN will perform an inspection on July 10th, on the SOCATRI site in order to assess, in particular, the precise causes of the event and examine the provisions taken by the licensee.
ASN has provisionally classified this incident at level 1 on the INES scale.
* The SOCATRI facility is involved in support of the nuclear installations of the TRICASTIN site performing in particular maintenance of equipments contaminated by uranium and treatment of uranium-bearing effluents.

Besides attending a class today and writing reports, I spent the afternoon at a friend's house. We talked a lot and she put on some Eddie Izzard. It was fun. :)
I've been tagged. By Trixiepix. And just when I thought I'd wrap up the day and lay my thoughts to sleep... :)
Here we go:
#01 I (used to) change interests on a daily basis, so keeping up with 365 is sometimes a real pain the butt, but I'm determined to stick to, to prove myself I can go through with something - not just drop the idea before I've REALLY given it a go.
#02 I'm a pervert, I'm a poet, I'm a romantic soul.
I really like weird (and I do mean weird, Necrophilia variations is right up my alley) books and movies and music.
#03 When going out for a drink, I usually drink coffee, or during the winter, black tea, vanilla flavoured.
#04 I adore chocolate. The kind with 50 or more percent of cocoa. The bitterness tastes so sweet to me. :) Also, I like chocolate with chili peppers.
#05 Like Trixiepics, I get a kick out of organizing things. On my computer. Into folders and zip files and partitions and so on and so forth...
#06 I like to look at people. Not in a voyeur kind of way, I just like to look at people when I walk past them, to see their faces, to see what they're wearing, how fast they are walking. It interests me. :)
#07 I (used to) usually give up, if the results were not perfect the first time. I had to learn to deal with mistakes.
#08 REMOVED
#09 The first time I did a snow angel was a couple of days ago.
#10 I adore the feeling of fresh, clean hands. I just love it. It feels wonderful. :)
#11 My memory is like swiss cheese, but without the cheese. This is one of the reasons I began 365. To have something to remember ALL of the days by.
#12 I'd like to improve my photos, but lately I don't take enough time to produce results I'd be really proud of. Shame on me.
#13 Lately most of what I wear is black. Last year I was sort of getting into really coloured stuff, but this year I mostly go for black. (Except this one outfit I wear at home - yellow sweatshirt and red pants.)
#14 I thought for sure I wouldn't get tagged. :)
#15 I really like the 80's Yugoslavian punk/new wave scene. There's something about that era that I find so alluring I can't even say. The music, the rebel attitude. (Those days, there actually was something to rebel about. Nowadays, you can do almost whatever you like, so being a rebel these days is pretty much pointless.)
#16 I don't like sports. I don't like to do them. I don't like to watch. I was always absolutely horrible at team sports. The only exception is running. I like that, because sometimes that's when I'm most alone and have all my thoughts to myself.
Done! Woo-hoo! :)
That was a lot of text. Probably the longest description I'll ever write. :)
This was day fifty-seven.
www.darckr.com/username.php?username=9099757@N05 --- Turkey, Antalya, Amarok Adventure World, Safari Tour ---- www.vianobilis.com/amarok-adventure-world-7e5 ---- Amarok Adventure World ---- Selge (griechisch Σέλγη) war eine antike Stadt in der kleinasiatischen Landschaft Pisidien beim heutigen Altınkayaköy (früher Zerk) (Türkei). Er lag 56 km nordwestlich von Side auf ca. 1000 m. ü. M. im oberen Tal des Eurymedon (heute: Köprüçay) am westlichen Ende des Taurusgebirges.Der Überlieferung nach soll Selge nach dem Krieg um Troja durch den Seher Kalchas gegründet und durch Griechen aus Sparta besiedelt worden sein. Auf Münzen ist der Ort seit dem 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. nachweisbar. Wirtschaftliche Grundlage war der Anbau von Wein und Oliven auf der umgebenden fruchtbaren Hochebene. Politisch bestanden zu Aspendos gute Beziehungen, ansonsten war die Stadt kriegerisch gegen ihre Nachbarn ausgerichtet. Als Alexander der Große durch Kleinasien zog, verbündete sich die Stadt mit ihm, um, allerdings erfolglos, die nahe Stadt Termessos zu belagern. Polybios beschreibt einen Krieg zwischen Selge und Pednelissos 220 v. Chr., in dem Pednellissos Achaios, den Statthalter von Side, zu Hilfe rief. 25 v. Chr. verlor Selge die Selbstständigkeit und wurde in die römische Provinz Galatien eingegliedert. Laut Strabon soll die Stadt zu dieser Zeit etwa 20.000 Einwohner gehabt haben. Seine größte Blüte erreichte Selge zur Zeit des römischen Kaiserreiches. Im Jahr 339 kam es zu einer erfolglosen Belagerung durch die Goten. In byzantinischer Zeit war Selge Bischofssitz. Die Stadt wurde später in seldschukischer Zeit aufgegeben.Es sind die Reste der Stadtmauer, eines Theaters, eines Stadions, der Agora mit Säulenhallen, eines Gymnasions und einer Basilika erhalten. Das Theater wurde im 3. Jahrhundert n. Chr. neu gebaut. Außerhalb der Stadtmauer lagen ein Aquädukt und einige Kammergräber. ---- Selge (in Greek Σελγη) was an important city in Pisidia, on the southern slope of Mount Taurus, modern Antalya Province, Turkey, at the part where the river Eurymedon River (Turkish: Köprüçay)forces its way through the mountains towards the south.
The town was believed to be a Greek colony, for Strabo[1] states that it was founded by Spartans, but adds the somewhat unintelligible remark that previously it had been founded by Calchas. The acropolis of Selge bore the name of Kesbedion.[2] The district in which the town was situated was extremely fertile, producing abundance of oil and wine, but the town itself was difficult of access, being surrounded by precipices and beds of torrents flowing towards the Eurymedon and Cestrus (today Aksu), and requiring bridges to make them passable. In consequence of its excellent laws and political constitution, Selge rose to the rank of the most powerful and populous city of Pisidia, and at one time was able to send an army of 20,000 men into the field. Owing to these circumstances, and the valour of its inhabitants, for which they were regarded as worthy kinsmen of the Spartans, the Selgians were never subject to any foreign power, but remained in the enjoyment of their own freedom and independence. When Alexander the Great passed through Pisidia (333 BC), Selge sent an embassy to him and gained his favour and friendship.[3] At that time they were at war with Termessos.
At the period when Achaeus had made himself master of Western Asia, Selge were at war with Pednelissus, which was besieged by them; and Achaeus, on the invitation of Pednelissus, sent a large force against Selge (218 BC). After a long and vigorous siege, the Selgians, being betrayed and despairing of resisting Achaeus any longer, sent deputies to sue for peace, which was granted to them on the following terms: they agreed to pay immediately 400 talents, to restore the prisoners of Pednelissus, and after a time to pay 300 talents in addition.[4] We now have for a long time no particulars about the history of Selge; in the 5th century AD Zosimus[5] calls it indeed a little town, but it was still strong enough to repel a body of Goths. It is strange that Pliny does not notice Selge, for we know from its coins that it was still a flourishing town in the time of Hadrian; and it is also mentioned in Ptolemy[6] and Hierocles. Independently of wine and oil, the country about Selge was rich in timber, and a variety of trees, among which the storax was much valued from its yielding a strong perfume. Selge was also celebrated for an ointment prepared from the iris root.[7]
The remains of the city consist mainly of parts of the encircling wall and of the acropolis. A few traces have survived of the gymnasium, the stoa, the stadium and the basilica. There are also the outlines of two temples, but the best conserved monument is the theater, restored in the 3rd century AD.
Halfway on the road to Selge from the Pamphylian coastal plain, a well-preserved Roman Bridge crosses the deep Eurymedon valley
I went sightseeing to the Farallon Islands last weekend before the storm. It was my first time out there and the highlight was probably seeing 20 to 30 humpback whales surface feeding over Fanny Shoals.
The Farallon Islands have a long history of bird egg harvesting, fur seal harvesting, whaling, and fishing. It was also the site of nuclear waste disposal during the first 30 years of the cold war. The aircraft carrier Independence, a target ship for two atmospheric nuclear tests, was purposefully scuttled to the west of the Islands.
We caught rockfish, lingcod, and sanddabs. It wasn't a great fishing day, but as the others sent me home with some of their catch I probably won't be buying fish for a month or so.
Sebastes species are slow growing territorial predators with venomous spines in their dorsal and anal fins. Several species are known to live 100 to 200 years. The group is commonly sold as "red snapper" in fish markets. There are about 130 species in the genus and many species have multiple color morphs -- making field identification difficult for sport and commercial fishermen. Several (if not all) Sebastes species are endangered by overfishing. Catch and release of non-target species is complicated by the expansion of air in the internal organs of Sebastes during retrieval. While they appear paralyzed or dead at the surface, Sebastes caught in less than 200 feet water can be returned to successfully to depth using special techniques involving weights and reverse barbless hooks or open bottom containers. Marine sanctuaries off the California coast will soon protect limited geographical sites from all fishing.
Next time I want to send a camera down there.

Fenrir, a monstrous wolf, was one of three terrible children of the trickster god Loki and the giantess Angrboda. Their other children - Jormungand, a giant serpent, and Hel, the goddess of the dead - were thrown out of Asgard, the home of the gods, by Odin. But Odin felt that the gods should look after Fenrir.
In time, Fenrir grew incredibly large, and only Odin's son Tyr was brave enough to approach and feed him. The gods finally decided to chain the beast, but Fenrir broke the two huge chains they made to restrain him. Asked by the gods to create something that would hold Fenrir, the dwarfs produced a silky ribbon called Gleipnir. To make it, they used the sound of a cat moving, the beard of a woman, the roots of a mountain, the sinews of a bear, the breath of a fish, and the spit of a bird.
The gods took Fenrir to an isolated island and challenged him to prove that he was stronger than Gleipnir. Because the ribbon seemed so weak, Fenrir suspected it was magical. He allowed himself to be bound with it only after Tyr agreed to put his hand in Fenrir's mouth. When Fenrir found that he could not break Gleipnir, he bit off Tyr's hand at a location now called the "wolf-joint" (the wrist), causing Týr to be one-handed and not considered to be a promoter of settlements between people.
According to legend, Fenrir will be released during the chaos just before Ragnarok, the final battle in which the gods of Asgard will be killed. Fenrir will swallow Odin during the battle and then be killed himself.

Yesterday my sister and I visited the Powell Volvo dealer in Scottsdale, Arizona. They were making some incredible good deals on these great cars and my sister bought one (a great V50 station-wagon). While she worked out the details with the dealer, I walked around and took photos of the many Volvos on the lot. You wouldn't know there was an economic recession going on in Scottsdale, Arizona, for this Volvo dealership was doing great and had many customers (the salesman told me Volvo is owned by Ford now).
Ever since I lived in Sweden, I've loved Volvo cars. These new ones are super! I especially like the body-style and look of the C30 coupe (the fast spiffy car used in the popular film "Twilight", driven by Edward the teenage vampire). Above is a photo of the back end of one of the C30 Volvos on display, pretty cool!
INFORMATION ON VOLVO CARS:
Volvo Cars, or Volvo Personvagnar AB, is a Swedish automobile manufacturer founded in 1927 in the city of Gothenburg, Sweden, and currently owned by Ford Motor Company. The name Volvo, Latin for "I roll" (or "I drive" in a modern sense, was thought to be a good trademark for a ball bearing as well as for an automobile.
Volvo was originally formed as a subsidiary company to the ball bearing maker SKF. It was not until 1935 when Volvo AB was introduced on the Swedish stock exchange that SKF sold most of the shares in the company. Volvo Cars was owned by AB Volvo until 1999, when it was acquired by the Ford Motor Company as part of its Premier Automotive Group.
Volvo produces models ranging from SUVs, wagons, and sedans to compact executive sedans and coupes. With 2,500 dealerships worldwide in 100 markets; 60 percent of sales come from Europe, 30 percent from North America, and the other 10 percent is from the rest of the world. Volvo cars have always evoked a reputation for solidity and reliability.[
Volvo's market share is shrinking in the North American market. However, Volvo increased its market share in new markets such as Russia, China and India. Specifically, Volvo expected sales in Russia to double and exceed 20,000 units by the end of 2007, making Russia one of the ten biggest markets for the company. Volvo already boasts the leading position in Russia's luxury car segment.
Older models were often compared to tractors, partly because Volvo AB was and still is a manufacturer of heavy equipment, earlier Bolinder-Munktell, now Volvo Construction Equipment. Considered by some to be slow and heavy, they earned the distinction "brick" as a term of endearment for the classic, block-shaped Volvo, with the more powerful turbo charged variants known as "turbobricks". More recent models have moved away from the boxy styles favored in the 1970s and 1980s and built a reputation for sporting performance, but not before the phenomenal success of factory-supported Volvo 240 turbos winning both the 1985 European Touring Car Championship (ETC) and 1986 Australian Touring Car Championship (ATCC).

Vilanova i la Geltrú, Barcelona (Spain).
ENGLISH
The baroque bell tower of Vilanova began to construct in 1670 and it was finished in 1705. It is a work of pricked stone, octogonal form, according to planes of a Carmelite, Fray Josep of the Concepció, known by the Tracista by its ability to project. One of its more singular characteristics is than it is not united to the nave of the church.
The overall height, with Angel, is 54 meters. In its interior there is a spiral staircase with 167 steps, and above is the famous Angel. This one was of copper and black bitumened (they called the black angel), measured 2.70m. and it was constructed according to model of the Barcelonian sculptor Miquel Llavina. It turned on its foot and it indicated the wind direction. In 1883 it had to be recovered since it was very damaged by storms and the numerous firings of the militians of the Tumults of Barcelona of 1835 that proved aim.
In 1892 the bell was put, of 1760 kg, that was baptized like Josepa, although the town called Lluca for being donated by Josep Lluc i Torrens. In 1936 the Angel and the bells were fused to make military material. In 1996 a new Angel was placed replacing the original one of 1705, and in August of the 2006 the complete restoration of the bell tower was inaugurated.
One comments that the bell tower is slightly inclined, and the popular legend account that this is the reason because who constructed it threw to the emptiness from the top of the bell tower, but there is no written text that corroborates it.

El campanario barroco de Vilanova se empezó a construir en 1670 y se terminó en 1705. Es una obra de piedra picada, de forma octogonal, según planos de un carmelita descalzo, Fray Josep de la Concepció, conocido por el Tracista por su habilidad para proyectar. Una de sus características más singulares es que no está unido a la nave de la iglesia.
La altura total, con Ángel y todo, es de 54 metros. En su interior hay una escalera de caracol de 167 peldaños, y arriba del todo está el famoso Ángel. Éste era de cobre embetunado de negro (le llamaban el ángel negro), medía 2,70m. y fue construido según modelo del escultor barcelonés Miquel Llavina. Giraba sobre su pie y señalaba la dirección del viento. En 1883 se tuvo que restaurar ya que estaba muy dañado por las tormentas y por los numerosos disparos de los milicianos de las Bullangas de Barcelona de 1835 que probaban puntería.
En 1892 se puso la campana, de 1760 kg., que se bautizó como Josepa, aunque el pueblo la llamaba Lluca por haber sido donada por Josep Lluc i Torrens. En 1936 se fundieron el Ángel y las campanas para hacer material de guerra. En 1996 se colocó un nuevo Ángel sustituyendo al original de 1705, y en agosto del 2006 se inauguró la restauración completa del campanario.
Se comenta que el campanario está ligeramente inclinado, y por ello la leyenda popular cuenta que quien lo construyó se arrojó al vacío desde lo alto del campanario, pero no hay ningún texto escrito que lo corrobore.

The fortress of Spinalonga is an islet at the mouth of a narrow inlet in the Gulf of Mirabello, in the eastern part of Crete. After the fall of Candia in 1669 it was one of the three fortresses retained by Venice to protect the route towards the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
The islet required extensive fortifications and the Venetians did not spare resources to achieve their objective: in 1579 they built high walls right on the sea to leave no room for landing and two circular bastions on the top of the hill, from where their artillery could control the access to the harbour.
Venice retained Spinalonga until 1715, when the Turks attacked them in Morea and the Venetians did not have enough naval forces to supply and help the three remaining fortresses they had in Crete. The importance of Spinalonga decreased under the Turkish domination and the islet was abandoned until it became a leper colony in the 20th century.

The modern sea-wall that shelters the port disguises history rather well. When the Roman empire fell, Pozzuoli, with the adjacent imperial glory of the port facilities of Baia, went into centuries of decline. As late as the 1880s, a travel writer in the New York Times could still say:
...The harbor of Pozzuoli is an interesting place to visit, if only to study the manner in which the ancients built their piers. There still remains the tremendous structure, or a very large portion of it, called by Seneca, Pilae, and by Suetonius, Moles Puteolanae. Of 25 buttresses, which supported 24 arches, 16 are left, three being under water. They are constructed of brick and pozzulana earth, and bear an inscription reporting that the pier was restored by Antonius Pius. A common, but very erroneous impression, owing probably to the fact of the pier now being called Ponte [bridge] di Caligula, is that it was connected with the ponton [sic] bridge which that emperor threw across the bay of Baiae in order that, clad in the armor of Alexander the Great, he might there celebrate his insane triumph over the Parthians.
Indeed, photos from that period show the pier/sea-wall of Pozzuoli to be low and jagged, essentially what is left of the old Roman structure (seen in the above image) after many centuries of neglect. (Sources differ as to how many arches the original Roman pier had.) After a century of talk about rebuilding the pier into a more modern structure, it wasn't until the early 1900s that this was done. Dvorak (sources, below) reports in 1904:
The largest and best-known Roman breakwater is that at Puteoli, commonly called the Bridge of Caligula. This great work consisted of fifteen tall piers of concrete, some of 52 feet square, others smaller, rising from 49 feet of water to some 16 feet above the surface. The tops of the piers were connected by arches, and the whole work was often referred to as the "opus pilarum," or "moles puteolanae." Unfortunately, but little of the old work is now to be seen, for the harbour is sheltered by a solid sea-wall, which has been constructed by filling up the spaces between the ancient piers. The work was originally proposed by Carlo Fontana, and, in spite of the adverse criticism of Fazio, will soon be finished.
The modernizing work was, indeed, finished and was, as noted, redone in the 1980s. Roman engineers built differently than modern ones. A modern seawall stops waves completely; the Romans, however, built separate piers (in this case, joined by arches) that were close enough to break the main force of the waves but still let sufficient water pass through. Without modern dredging equipment, this had the advantage of letting currents sweep through the harbor and keep the port from silting up. Perhaps the most interesting thing in the whole harbor was the small island off the end of the pier. It was covered with buildings and has disappeared completely; it is probably the one mentioned by the Greek historian Pausanias in the second century AD:
Off Diceearchia [the original Greek name for Pozzuoli, ed.], which belongs to the Etruscans, there is boiling water in the sea, and an island has been constructed artificially, that the water may be utilized for warm baths. The modern sea-wall of Pozzuoli (jutting out on the right in this photo) runs almost exactly east to west, pointing directly at Baia.
Much of the western part of the bay, off of Baia, has been studied and made available in the new museum in the Aragonese castle off of Baia; those waters are also now an "underwater archaeology park," but I don't know the extent to which such efforts have extended to Pausania's "artificial island." Also, there was apparently a second harbor at Puteoli. Ancient sources mention it and in the early 19th century, engineers planning to rebuild the harbor spoke of the existence of an extensive network of piers offshore below the old acropolis to the east of the main harbor.
Things were starting to get awesome.

BACKSTORY: OMG! Another totally amazing show! We got to hang out with Nic Endo afterwards! We bummed a cigarette from some other guy, and then she tried to offer us one. That is to say, she is very nice! AE drove us again this year. Greg Z and Akira also went. Clint asked Nic Endo if she still carries floppy discs (of course!). People (including Clint) got on the stage again this year, and Carolyn saw an audience member accidently bump into Alec Empire and push him off the stage. He seemed ok, though. Nobody else seemed to notice that happen except Carolyn.

Primo becchino S'ha da dare cristiana sepoltura ad una che ha voluto anticiparsi l'ora della salvezza?
Secondo becchino Sì, ti dico; perciò prepara subito la fossa. Il magistrato ha esaminato il caso ed ha deciso che sia da concedersi cristiana sepoltura.
Primo becchino Com'è possibile? Ammenoché non si sia annegata per difendersi.
Secondo becchino Infatti, è stato accertato così.
Primo becchino Già, dev'essere stato "se offendendo",
non altrimenti. Perché il punto è questo:se io annego di mia volontà, questo è un atto, ed un atto ha tre momenti: agire, fare, consumare; argal lei s'è annegata di sua volontà.
Secondo becchino Ma no, senti, mio bravo zappatore...
Primo becchino Permetti: qui c'è l'acqua, e qui c'è l'uomo. Bene. Se ora l'uomo va nell'acqua e, volente o nolente, ci si annega, è stato lui ad andarci... sta' attento; se invece è l'acqua ad andare dall'uomo, e lo annega, non è lui che s'annega.
Argal la propria vita non accorcia chi della propria morte non ha colpa.
Secondo becchino Così è la legge?
Primo becchino Sì, perdio, così; così almeno l'ha interpretata il giudice.
Secondo becchino Bah, devo dirti come me la sento? Non fosse stata costei nobildonna sarebbe stata seppellita fuori da cristian cimitero.
Primo becchino Ah, l'hai capita? E' una grande ingiustizia che a questo mondo le persone bene abbiano più diritto di annegarsi o d'impiccarsi che gli altri cristiani.
(Comincia a scavare)
Affonda, vanga! Non c'è nobiltà a questo mondo di più antica data dei giardinieri, degli affossatori e dei becchini, la cui professione continua quella che faceva Adamo.
Secondo becchino Perché, Adamo era nobile?
Primo becchino E' stato lui il primo a portar armi.
Secondo becchino Ma va'! Se non ne aveva!
Primo becchino Che dici! Non sarai mica un eretico? Come la interpreti tu la Scrittura? Secondo la Scrittura, egli zappava; poteva egli zappare senza l'arma delle braccia? Ti faccio altra domanda, adesso, e se non mi rispondi giusto, confèssati per un...
Secondo becchino Dài, tira avanti!
Primo becchino Ecco: chi è che fabbrica più solido del muratore, oppur del carpentiere, oppur più del falegname.
Secondo becchino Chi fa forche. Perché fa qualche cosa che vive più di mille suoi inquilini.
Primo becchino Azzeccata. Il tuo spirito mi piace. Le forche vanno bene, ma per chi? Per quelli che fan male; e tu fai male a dire che una forca è più solida d'una chiesa, àrgal, la forca è cosa che va bene a te. Avanti, prova ancora.
Secondo becchino (Ripetendo la prima domanda del primo becchino) "Chi è che costruisce più robusto del muratore, oppur del carpentiere, oppur del falegname?"
Primo becchino Dimmi questo, e poi basta.
Secondo becchino Dunque, vediamo un po'... aspetta, aspetta... Ce l'ho in punta di lingua...
Primo becchino Allora sputalo.
Secondo becchino Macché, perdincibacco, non mi viene!
Entrano, dal fondo, Amleto e Orazio
Primo becchinoBeh, via, non lambiccarti più il cervello. L'asino tardo non aggiusta il passo sotto le bastonate. Un'altra volta, se ti faranno la stessa domanda,
rispondi: "il beccamorto"; le sue case durano fino al giorno del Giudizio. Adesso, per favore, va' da Yaughan e fatti dare una pinta di birra.
(Esce il secondo becchino)
(Cantando mentre zappa)
"Da ragazzo far l'amore
"mi sembrava un dolce gioco
"per trascorrer le mie ore,
"ma n'ho ricavato poco..."
Amleto Non ha costui coscienza del mestiere,
se può cantare scavando una fossa?
Orazio Lo rende indifferente l'abitudine.
Amleto Proprio così; man che poco lavora,
ha più sensibile il senso del tatto.
Primo becchino (Sempre cantando)
"Ma col passo suo felpato
"la vecchiaia mi ha ghermito,
"per sotterra m'ha avviato,
"come mai non fossi nato."
In our backyard we have tangerine and grapefruit trees and this winter we are fortunate to have a bounty of fresh citrus to pick and eat whenever we please. These tangerines are just so sweet and delicious! I admit I've sat down and eaten 3 or 4 at a time!
I took this photo with a flash at twilight after a good rain.
INFORMATION ON THE TANGERINE:
The tangerine (Citrus × tangerina) is an orange- or red-coloured citrus fruit. It is a variety of the Mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata). Tangerines are smaller than most oranges, and the skin of some varieties will peel off more easily. The taste is often less sour, or tart, than that of an orange.
Good quality tangerines will be firm to slightly soft, heavy for their size, and pebbly-skinned with no deep grooves, as well as orange in color. Peak tangerine season is short, lasting from November to January in the Northern Hemisphere.
The Honey tangerine, originally called a murcott, is very sweet, as its name suggests. Other popular kinds include the sunburst tangerines and Fairchild tangerines. One of the oldest and most popular varieties is the Dancy tangerine, but it is no longer widely grown. The Dancy was known as the zipper-skin tangerine, and also as the kid-glove orange, for its loose, pliable peel. Its peak season is December, so children would often receive one in their Christmas stockings. For this reason it is commonly known as known a 'Christmas Orange'.
Tangerines are most commonly peeled and eaten out of hand. The fresh fruit is also used in salads, desserts and main dishes. Fresh tangerine juice and frozen juice concentrate are commonly available in the United States. Tangerines are a good source of vitamin C, folate and beta-carotene. They also contain some potassium, magnesium and vitamins B1, B2 & B3.
Historically, the name tangerine comes from Tangier, Morocco, a port from which the first tangerines were shipped to Europe. The adjective tangerine, from Tangier or Tanger, was first recorded as an English word in 1710.

The pool looked so wonderful that the second Nalu entered the pool deck she dove in. It's a common, almost daily occurrence so I just let her play awhile. It was my chance to introduce her to her new water toy, Mr. Flappy. She absolutely loves him. We may just have to use him when the new Southeast FL Dock Dogs club has its Grand Opening June 19th in Dania beach. Nalu is excited over the news of a club forming only an hour away! Before the nearest clubs were 2 1/2 & 4 hours away.
In this picture you can see something she loves to do. When I get her out I always go straight for her toy, put it away and take her to the dog tub outside for a quick bath to get the chlorine out. Well when she suspects I'm getting ready to kick her out she'll start playing on the steps. She pushes the toy down with her feet until she has it pinned on the second step, she then dunks her head under to retrieve it. She also likes to take the toy to the jet right by the steps and lets the jet take the toy under and past her. She quickly turn pushes off the wall and dunks under to get it. Another of her quarks is if I leave her by herself while I'm cleaning the kitchen or working by the sliding glass door leading out to the pool deck (so I can see her) she'll actually throws the toy in herself and launches into the pool to retrieve it. I don't think I've ever seen a dog who loves the pool more, she would live in there if I let her. She may be 7 but I think she needs a turn in the field, moms fault of course!

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!"

shout it out
i can't hold back no more
i let it out
all these feelings that were
trapped inside
i was frozen evertime
i looked in your eyes
clear my head
from all the cluttered things
i should've said
that wasn't me
no i can't live like that
I'm waking up and there is no
looking back
(chorus)
Every little tear
i was scared to cry
everyting i feared
but i kept inside
i don't wanna hold
it back one more day
oh wash it away
every tiny thought clouding
up my head
every single word that
i never said
i refuse to feel ashamed
let it rain
let it rain
clear the sky
i start to breathe again
no-thing to hide
let you through to who
i am inside
every layer
'til you get underneath my skin
let you in, let you in
(chorus)
every little tear
i was scared to cry
everything i feard
but i kept inside
i dont wanna hold it back
one more day
oh was it away
every tiny thought
clouding up my head

i never said
i refuse to feel ashamed

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.

Wladimir et Isabelle travaillent tous deux aux Archives nationales. La venue d'un deuxième enfant les conduit à s'interroger sur les possibilités de trouver un logement légèrement plus grand.
Pour cela, il faudra explorer toutes les pistes...
Première étape, les agences immobilières. Du centre de Paris aux arrondissements périphériques, à quelle superficie prétendre lorsqu'on jouit d'un peu plus de 3000 euros de revenu mensuel ? Visites, rencontres, discussions, négociations... Brice, responsable immobilier dans le 18e arrondissement de Paris "joue la vérité des prix". Alors que d'autres laissent miroiter comme possible ce qui se révèle illusoire aux yeux de notre jeune couple, celui-ci ne cache pas qu'aujourd'hui Paris est devenue, comme la plupart des grandes villes de France, une cité interdite pour les travailleurs qui n'ont pour vivre que le produit de leur travail, souvent réduit à un salaire qui n'a pas suivi le coût de la vie, notamment de la spéculation qui a frappé l'immobilier...
Et le logement social ? Dans la file d'attente d'une mairie d'arrondissement à Paris, confrontation entre Wladimir et quelques demandeurs de logement dont la fiche technique laisse perplexe. Rencontre avec un public concerné, "jeunes ou vieux, français ou étrangers, travailleurs ou retraités". Révélations de la responsable du logement. Les ventes à la découpe allongent les listes. Des dizaines de milliers de familles confrontées à ce phénomène à Paris, comme dans les autres grandes villes, se tournent aussi vers des services sociaux surchargés.
Et les petites annonces ? Que reste-t-il pour ces millions qui, contrairement à notre couple, n'ont pas un tel salaire ou pas de garantie de l'emploi ? Voyage des tentes de "médecins du monde" aux campings qui en périphérie sont parfois le lieu de résurgence des bidonvilles d'antan, peuplés par des salariés qui n'ont d'autre choix pour vivre.
Du maire de la Ferté Alais à Wlad et Isabelle, en passant par Brice, le responsable immobilier ; Greg, le manager d'agence ou Stéphane, le négociateur de logements, l'histoire de Wlad et Isabelle nous fait découvrir des situations plus surprenantes les unes que les autres. Un constat stupéfiant et affolant !

Exposición LA VIDA OCULTA DEL AGUA; en la UNED de Barbastro
Hoy con nuestro agradecimiento a Bárbara Barrera por su precioso artículo sobre diatomeas en la revista Vidriooh!
Artículo LA BIODIVERSIDAD OCULTA
Peranema cuneatum tiene una forma de navegar elegante y marcha ligero bajo la superficie del agua, con su cuerpo esbelto rematado en punta, extendiendo su recto flagelo del que apenas mueve su extremo final, como indiferente a todo lo que sucede a su alrededor.
En poco se parece su actitud a la de su hermano Peranema trichophorum tan común en las aguas contaminadas y que a cada trecho se detiene para arrugarse, ensancharse y transformarse por unos momentos, para seguir después navegando como si nada hubiese pasado.
Peranema cuneatum no parece deformarse en su travesía acuática y a medida que avanza va recogiendo diminutas algas, bacterias y otros pequeños protozoos que atrapa en pequeños remolinos a pequeños bocados con esa boca casi invisible situada en la base de su flagelo.
Peranema es un primo pálido de Euglena , no depende como ella de la luz del sol para vivir, sino de todo lo que captura y palpa con su larga mano de hilo al caminar. Su elegante camisa transparente está adornada con unas finísimas estrías imperceptibles, como las que Euglena también suele vestir, pero Peranema no está relleno del fresco verde de la clorofila viva ni muestra la mancha roja de rubí con la que ella sigue al sol.
Peranema ha preferido buscar otro modo de vida y limpia el agua de los restos que otros van dejando devolviendo poco a poco su pureza.

The calçotada is a typical food of the western region of Catalonia; original of Valls, in the region of Alt Camp, in the last decades has been extended and it can taste in almost any part of the community during the end of the winter and beginnings of the spring; calçots, a variety of chives specially cultivated for this intention, roasts directly on live coals of vine and they eat with the hand, seasoned with a special sauce, the salvitxada similar to the romesco. Meanwhile, the live coals take advantage of to roast meats or sausages for the second course.
Cooked in their point, the outer layer of calçots calcine, leaving tender and creamy the inside. Traditionally they take to the table on a mud roofing tile or they are packed with newspaper paper, that helps to conserve it warm.
The ingestion procedure - taking the layer carbonized with the hands - makes inevitable to get dirty itself, reason why it is traditional to put an enormous bib that arrives from the neck until the knees.
The typical dates to taste this species of sweet onion it is during the months of winter and spring.
It is custom to accompany them with a good Catalan cava (for calçots) and with excellent wines of the zone (with the second course, for which some purists say to prefer “botifarra amb mongetes”).

CASTELLANO
La calçotada es una comida típica de la región occidental de Cataluña; originaria de Valls, en la comarca del Alt Camp, en las últimas décadas se ha extendido y puede degustarse en casi cualquier parte de la comunidad durante el final del invierno y comienzos de la primavera; los calçots, una variedad de cebolletas especialmente cultivada para este propósito, se asan directamente sobre brasas de sarmientos y se comen con la mano, aderezados con una salsa especial, la salvitxada, similar a la romesco. Mientras tanto, las brasas se aprovechan para asar carnes o embutidos para el segundo plato.
Cocidos en su punto, la capa exterior de los calçots se calcina, dejando el interior tierno y cremoso. Tradicionalmente se llevan a la mesa sobre una teja de barro o se empaquetan con papel de periódico, que ayudan a conservarlos calientes.
El procedimiento de ingesta — arrancando la capa carbonizada con las manos — hace inevitable mancharse, por lo que es tradicional ponerse un enorme babero que llega del cuello hasta las rodillas.
Las fechas típicas para degustar esta especie de cebolla dulce es durante los meses de invierno y primavera.
Es costumbre acompañarlos con un buen cava catalán (para los calçots) y con los excelentes vinos de la zona (con el segundo plato, para el que algunos puristas dicen preferir la "botifarra amb mongetes").

Quoting the web site of WXRV-FM "The River":
Boston’s independent and solar-powered radio station is gearing up for a free lunch time concert in honor of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day from noon-3pm. The concert will take place on the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, a new model of dynamic outdoor space that brings Bostonians together to enjoy everything that’s great about the city. The Greenway will be transformed into a fun outdoor atmosphere that includes free music, arts and crafts and other activities.
40th anniversary of Earth Day 2010
Forty years after the first Earth Day, the world is in greater peril than ever. While climate change is the greatest challenge of our time, it also presents the greatest opportunity – an unprecedented opportunity to build a healthy, prosperous, clean energy economy now and for the future.
Citizen Cope
Citizen Cope is the name given to singer/songwriter Clarence Greenwood and his acoustic-driven band. Born in Memphis and raised in Washington, D.C., Greenwood steers the band’s soulful sound by serving as keyboardist, guitarist, lead singer, DJ, songwriter, and producer. Greenwood first broke into the music business by appearing on albums by Maryland-based Basehead and used that momentum to issue his first Citizen Cope album, Citizen Cope , in 1992. He released his fourth album, The Rainwater LP himself in 2010, staying true to his fusion of blues, folk-pop, and laidback hip-hop. “Healing Hands”, off The Rainwater LP, has fast become a fast favorite amongst new and existing fans
They Might Be Giants
Combining a knack for infectious melodies with a quirky, bizarre sense of humor and a vaguely avant-garde aesthetic borrowed from the New York post-punk underground, They Might Be Giants became one of the most unlikely alternative success stories of the late ’80s and early ’90s. Musically, the duo of John Flansburgh and John Linnell borrowed from everywhere, but their freewheeling eclecticism was enhanced by their arcane, geeky sense of humor. They would reference everything from British Invasion to Tin Pan Alley, while making allusions to pulp fiction and President Polk. Through their string of indie releases and constant touring as a duo, They Might Be Giants built up a huge following on college campuses during the late ’80s, switching to a major label in the early ’90s…The 2000’s saw them re-emerge as one of America’s most beloved family bands, and saw their songwriting embraced by Dunkin’ Donuts, Malcom in the Middle, and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

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
The above collaborative diptych resulted from seeing Tina Manthorpe's photograph ("Sandstone Swirl," on right, see www.flickr.com/photos/84265607@N00/3909143298/ ) the same day that the elm tree in my front yard was cut down. It was killed by beetle invasion (Dutch Elm disease), see my post below: www.flickr.com/photos/walford/3914173910/
I was struck by how both stone and wood could have comparable ring patterns embedded in them, though those on the tree lack the incredible suggestiveness, and whirling motion of the sandstone captured so well by Tina Manthorpe.
When I proposed a collaboration, she immediately agreed, and her version is more professionally edged in black, at her request, see www.flickr.com/photos/84265607@N00/3920376902/. We agreed that I would put it up in this olive tone, which I slightly prefer, to suggest the common source in nature of these rings in such different substances.
Rolls-Royce Limited was founded in 1906 by Henry Royce and C.S. Rolls, and produced its first aircraft engine in 1914.
Around half the aircraft engines used by the Allies in World War I were made by Rolls-Royce. By the late 1920s, aero engines made up most of Rolls-Royce's business. Henry Royce's last design was the Merlin aero engine, which came out in 1935 although he had died in 1933. This was a development subsequent to the R engine, which had powered a record-breaking Supermarine S6.B seaplane to almost 400mph in the 1931 Schneider Trophy. The legendary Rolls-Royce Merlin is revered as a British Icon [3]. The Merlin powered many World War II aircraft: the British Hawker Hurricane, Supermarine Spitfire, De Havilland Mosquito (twin-engined), Avro Lancaster (4-engine); it also transformed the American P-51 Mustang into one of the best fighters of its time, its Merlin engine built by Packard under licence. The early Merlins were used by the British Royal Air Force in the Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire that won the Battle of Britain. The "Merlin engine" is often considered to be one of the main factors in winning the war for the Allies. [4] .Over 160,000 Merlin engines were produced.
In the post-World War II period Rolls-Royce made significant advances in gas turbine engine design and manufacture. The Dart and Tyne turboprop engines were particularly important, enabling airlines to cut journey times within several continents, whilst jet airliners were introduced on longer services. The Dart engine was used in Argosy, Avro 748 and its military variant the Andover, Friendship, Herald and Viscount aircraft, whilst the more powerful Tyne powered the Atlantic, Transall and the Vanguard. Many of these turboprops are still in service.
Rolls-Royce engines had traditionally borne numeric designations during development and then were assigned the name of a British river on delivery. The use of river names was introduced with the earliest Rolls jet engines to reflect their nature: a steady flow of power rather than the pulses of a piston engine. RB stands for "Rolls Barnoldswick", the latter a major ex-Rover facility bought by Rolls-Royce when it traded production of engines (the Rolls-Royce Meteor) for production of the first Whittle engines.
Amongst the jet engines of this period was the RB163 Spey which powers the Trident, BAC 1-11, Grumman Gulfstream II and Fokker F28. Military versions of the Spey powered the Buccaneer S2 for the RAF, the Phantom F4K and F4M, and the Nimrod. The Spey was licence built by Allison Engine Company as the TF41 for the A-7 Corsair II. Other types of military engines produced in the second half of the 20th Century include the Avon and Viper; these engines powered many of the British Aircraft of this period.
Also of this period was the Conway, a low (by today's standards) bypass ratio turbofan which was used on some Boeing 707s and Douglas DC-8s, and all Vickers VC10s as well as on the MkII variant of the Handley Page Victor bomber for the RAF.
During the late 1950s and '60s there was a significant rationalisation of the British aero-engine manufacturers, culminating in the merger of Rolls-Royce and Bristol Siddeley in 1966. Bristol Siddeley, which had itself resulted from the merger of Armstrong Siddeley and Bristol in 1959, and with its principal factory at Filton, near Bristol, had a strong base in military engines, including the Olympus, which was chosen for Concorde.

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.
My small entry in the Pillage the Village II.
After surviving twenty long years on the high seas, three mutinies (two of them he instigated), and being stranded on a desert island five times Captain Brickbeard has decided to retire and give up his life of plundering and pillaging -- well semi-retire, you can never have enough plundering in your life. ;-)
So to fund his retirement Brickbeard takes his "loyal" crew to Skull Mountain, a location known only to him, to retrieve his ill gotten gains.
Many have tried to find Skull Mountain and a few have even succeeded. Yet none have been able to possess the mounds of gold and treasure that lies within the heart of the mountain. All who have tried have met a grisly fate.
For Skull Mountain is also the home of a colony Gigantic Man-eating Spiders that owe their allegiance to Brickbeard. He alone can quell their man-eating tendencies and safely trespass on their land.
Brickbeard plans to load his fleet with the gold and leave all but his most trusted men to the fate of the Spiders.
The Spiders themselves have other plans however. They have begun to think of the gold and jewels as theirs.
The Storm may have passed, but for Brickbeard, another may soon be on the horizon . . .

Hoy toca el interior de la Iglesia de Santa María de Wamba, recordar que mi D60 a más de ISO 800 funciona bastante mal, así es que se hizo lo que se pudo.
La iglesia encandila, por su antigüedad y porque esos toques mozárabes mezclados con toques visigodos no se ve muy a menudo. Y mucho menos si es de origen Templario.
La iglesia de Santa María, tal y como está estructurada hoy día, cuenta con tres naves, un crucero no señalado en planta y tres capillas rectangulares en la cabecera. El crucero y la cabecera son de época mozárabe, del siglo X. Se trata de un espacio muy compartimentado, separado con pilares sencillos que soportan arcos de herradura. Uno de los pilares del lado de la Epístola conserva un capitel tallado a bisel con formas vegetales estilizadas. Algunas bóvedas son de cañón, con generatriz de herradura y otras han sido rehechas. El cuerpo de la iglesia es románico de finales del siglo XII; consta de tres naves separadas por pilares compuestos de núcleo rectangular y columnas adosadas, con capiteles de tres tipos: con motivos vegetales, con figuraciones animalísticas y monstruosas, y con representaciones historiadas, como el Pecado Original, la Gula, el Peso de las Almas y otras. Los arcos son apuntados y de rosca doblada y la cubrición es de madera. Entre las portadas destaca la de los pies, que tiene un tímpano y va protegida por un tejaroz con canecillos decorados con figuras de animales y cabezas humanas. Las tres columnas de las jambas llevan capiteles con decoración animal y vegetal y las arquivoltas se decoran con lóbulos y gruesos boceles.
En el muro del testero de la capilla mayor se conservan restos de pintura al fresco que parecen imitar la decoración de una tela oriental. Entre la imaginería que conserva la iglesia hay que destacar un Cristo en madera policromada del tercer cuarto del siglo XVI, de clara influencia berruguetesca,que se acerca a los tipos de Francisco Giralte. Entre los retablos hay que fijarse en un retablo de pintura de principios del siglo XVI, de dos cuerpos y tres calles, con una arquitectura de estilo plateresco. La tabla central representa la Epifanía, flanqueada por Santa Catalina con un donante y San Pedro y San Pablo. En el espacio homónimo se encuentra la escena del Llanto por Cristo Muerto, flanqueada por San Juan Bautista, con donantes femeninos y San Miguel, con donantes masculinos.
Pero además Wamba cuenta con dos ermitas, la del Humilladero y la de la Virgen de la Encina.
Por cierto, los que tengan fotos del osario pueden ponerlas en este hilo y así completo la serie, que me faltó esa parte por ver.

El ánsar o ganso común (Anser anser) es una especie de ave de la familia Anatidae caracterizado por su cuerpo grande, con el pico grueso y naranja, plumaje gris pardo, patas rosas y parte caudal inferior blanquecina.
Su voz es muy fuerte, a modo de trompeteo. Anida en el suelo, tapizando el nido parcialmente; pone de cuatro a seis huevos en una nidada, de mayo a junio. Se alimenta arrancando hierbas y brotes del suelo; a veces excava buscando raíces y bulbos.
Se cría en casi toda Europa, en zonas húmedas y a veces pantanosas. En muchos casos, los individuos introducidos se naturalizan y se hacen residentes, perdiendo su carácter salvaje, en parte.
Existen numerosas razas domésticas que se crían como aves de corral; se consideran pertenecientes a la subespecie Anser anser domesticus.
