Here's another version of the PHP (for Prvi Hrvatski Pistolj - First Croatian Pistol), the MV-9, made in the early 1990's in Croatia. The MV's are often described as a love child of a Walther P38 and a Beretta 92, as it has features of both. The barrel locking system is the tilting wedge with a "push button" used by both the Beretta and the Walther. It has the Walther's exposed barrel and the Beretta's high capacity magazine. The MV-9 seen here is somewhat shorter than the MV-17, as the muzzle is almost flush with the front of the slide.
In spite of the fact that it's a first attempt and that there was a particularly nasty war going on at the time, the pistol is fairly well made. It has the checkerboard Croatian crest stamped on the top of the slide, just behind the exposed portion of the barrel.
This one shows some use as evidenced by dings, scratches and honest wear, compared to the MV17, which came to me in nearly pristine, unissued condition.
The MV pistols were made by the arsenal which later became HS Arms, manufacturer of the HS2000, sold in the U. S. as the Springfield Armory XD series.

La avefría europea (Vanellus vanellus) es una especie de ave Charadriiforme de la familia Charadriidae. Es un ave muy fácil de ver en España de octubre a marzo, durante los meses más fríos, de donde deriva su nombre común.
Características
Es de colores vivos: vientre blanco, pecho negro y parte superior de las alas de color verdiazul. Además tiene un característico penacho en lo alto de la cabeza. Al volar se distingue por su batir de alas lento, semejante al de una mariposa. Visto desde abajo cuando vuela se distinguen dos franjas de color blanco y negro. Mide de 28 a 31 cm. de pico a cola.
Comportamiento
Gregaria, suele criar en grupos, en tierras de labranza y campos extensos. Conocida en algunos lugares de Castilla y León como francesina. También se la conoce como "pibi" por el característico sonido que emite.
Andau sild Ungari poolelt vaatega vaatetornile Austria poolel
Üle selle silla eelkäija põgenes 1956. aasta ülestõusu käigus kommunistlikust Ungarist Austriasse 70 000 inimest.
Vene väed lasid (algselt põllumajanduslikel kaalutlustel ehitatud) silla õhku, see taastati omaette mälestusmärgina 1996. aastal. Tegelikult on nii terve sild kui ka Einserkanal, millest see üle viib, Ungari Vabariigi poole peal.

Over this bridge 70 000 refugees flew to Austria from the communist Hungary during the revolution of 1956. The wooden bridge was destroyed by the Soviet Army, but rebuilt as a memorial in 1996. It stands actually on the Hungarian territory from where this picture is taken as well. No border guards any more!

There's a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we're often told, seek and ye shall find
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
He's the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although he may not be the man
Some girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh how I need
Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me
Tsomoriri or Lake Moriri (official name: Tsomoriri Wetland Conservation Reserve), in the Changthang (literal meaning, northern plains) area, is a High Altitude Lake with an altitude of 4,595 m (15,075 ft) in Ladakh, India and is the largest of the High Altitude Lakes in the Trans-Himalayan biogeographic region, entirely within India.
It is hemmed between Ladakh in the North and Tibet in the east and Zanskar in the west; the Changthang plateau is the geographical setting with snow peaks that provides the source of water for the Lake. Accessibility to the lake is limited to summer season only.
The name means salty lake in local language and salt was extracted from this lake in earlier times, for consumption by the local people. It is oligotrophic in nature and its waters are alkaline. The lake formerly had an outlet to the south, but it has contracted considerably and has become land locked; as a result; the water is now brackish to saline. The lake is fed by springs and snow-melt in two major stream systems, one entering the lake from the north, the other from the southwest. Both stream systems create extensive marshes where they enter the lake.
As per a classification of the Himalayan Lakes done on the basis of their origin, there are four groups and Tsomoriri falls under the third group of “Remnant Lakes". The classification as reported states:
Glacial lakes which are formed in and around glaciers; (ii) Structural lakes, formed by folds or faults due to movements in earth’s crust (e.g. Nainital lake in Uttaranchal), (iii) Remnant lakes which were originally structural but represent the remnants of vast lakes (e.g., Tsomoriri, Tso Kar, Pangong Tso in Ladakh, and Dal Lake in Kashmir), (iv) Natural dammed lakes i.e., temporary water bodies formed along the river courses due to deposition of rocks or debris e.g. Gohna Tal in Garhwal, Uttaranchal.
The Changthang plateau in the eastern Ladakh represents a landscape of low productive Ecosystems which protects unique floral and faunal species.The area is an extension of the western Tibetan plateau that lies above 4,500 m (14,800 ft) msl and supports diverse but low populations of several globally threatened mammals. The Lake's basin could also be categorised as an endorheic basin since it is a closed drainage basin that retains water and allows no outflow to other bodies of water such as rivers or oceans.
The lake is surrounded by the elevated valley of Rupshu with hills rising to 6,000 m (20,000 ft). “Changpas", the nomadic migratory shepherds (pastoral community) of yak, sheep, goat, and horses of Tibetan origin and who are engaged in trade and work on caravans in Ladakh region, are the main inhabitants of the area. Changpa herders use the land of this valley as grazing ground and for cultivation.

Texto:
Cuidar e alimentar animais de rua é um direito nosso
Atuação retrógrada da vigilância sanitária em face da ausência de órgãos municipais especializados na tutela animal. O dever de cuidado dos animais comunitários e a proibição arbitrária de alimentá-los.”
No ano de 2011, significando um grande avanço para os gaúchos, entrou em vigor a Lei n. 11.1011, a qual criou a Secretaria Especial dos Direitos Animais (SEDA), com atuação no município de Porto Alegre.
Em pouco mais de um ano, os dados estatísticos já demonstravam o significado dessa vontade política de grande valia para o povo, que cada vez mais clamava pela atuação pública na tutela dos animais. Somando mais de 18 mil ações nesse período, a SEDA realizou, por meio de seus servidores, mais de 9.400 esterilizações, mais de 590 cirurgias outras, mais de 6.404 fiscalizações e 230 atendimentos, devido a denúncias, bem como cerca de 640 adoções, beneficiando animais resgatados, abandonados e até mesmo oriundos de colecionadores e protetores de animais.
Nesse panorama, verificam-se duas questões basilares. A primeira é o fato de que os dados vieram comprovar a premência que havia em Porto Alegre no sentido de ter um órgão realmente efetivo e especializado nesses cuidados. A segunda, abrange o tema que será brevemente abordado neste artigo, que diz quanto à inexistência, nas demais cidades rio-grandenses, de órgãos similares, demonstrando que a ausência de políticas públicas de proteção animal, tornam a atuação de outros órgãos públicos retrógradas e até mesmo arbitrárias, ferindo diretamente os direitos fundamentais dos cidadãos que protegem os animais, especialmente os comunitários.
A grande incidência de animais comunitários ganhou espaço frente ao crescimento das cidades, suas consequentes mudanças sociais, econômicas, jurídicas e ambientais e a desatualização, bem como a falta de especialização dos agentes públicos diante dessas alterações.
Muito embora existam legislações louváveis como o Estatuto do idoso2, a Lei dos Crimes Ambientais3 e a própria Constituição brasileira, cujas normas protegem os direitos fundamentais, como o direito à propriedade4, à liberdade e à igualdade5 , ainda assim entes municipais seguidamente têm atuado contra a proteção animal, ignorando a existências de tais normas, violando direitos e interesses individuais e difusos dos cidadãos brasileiros.
Assim, não é incomum, órgãos como a vigilância sanitária agirem arbitrariamente, sem qualquer observância das legislações municipais, estaduais e, mesmo, federais, mediante a notificação de cidadãos, que exercendo direito seu, alimentam animais comunitários ou que possuem mais de um animal em seu apartamento e são denunciados falsamente por vizinhos sobre falta de higiene e risco à saúde.
Isto não seria problema, se as notificações fossem emitidas com base em fatos que representassem efetivo risco à saúde pública e não de forma abusiva, com base em meras reclamações, despidas de qualquer veracidade, sem verificação do local, sem qualquer fundamento ou conhecimento de causa, em desacordo com as normas vigentes no país e, como se não bastasse, seguindo orientação desatualizada e arcaica, de “Códigos de Postura e Leis Orgânicas Municipais”, ainda vigentes em seu município, elaborados anteriormente à Constituição de 1988 ou, posteriormente, à margem desta.
Ademais, além de determinadas leis conterem dispositivos inconstitucionais no bojo de seu texto, ainda trazem palavras discriminatórias e desprovidas de lógica semântica, como por exemplo, utilizar a palavra ”vadio” ao tratar de animais comunitários ou abandonados. Isso demonstra a inadequação e a estagnação de determinadas legislações, uma vez que vadio significa “sem ocupação ou trabalho”; “sem destino certo”; e, “diz-se de quem pouco se empenha em alguma atividade (estudo, trabalho etc)”.6
A toda evidência não só há urgência na criação e na alteração de leis, mas também há premência na criação de órgãos similares à Secretaria Especial dos Direitos Animais nos demais municípios do Rio Grande do Sul, que atuem sem transgredir as legislações vigentes e sem atentar contra os direitos fundamentais; que contem com agentes especializados, conhecedores do assunto; e, que tenham como objetivo precípuo dar proteção aos animais abandonados e atuar preventivamente à proliferação indevida dos mesmos.
Na contemporaneidade, não se admite atos de crueldade praticados contra os animais, muito menos quando advindos da administração pública. A proibição de alimentar animais comunitários, vítimas do crescimento das cidades, da agressão, do abandono e do descaso de muitos indivíduos é um ato cruel, desumano e configura, dependendo da forma como for imposta, autêntico ato de abuso de poder.
Cumpre ressaltar o fato de que, a maioria dos casos que chegam aos advogados e às delegacias é geralmente de idosos que alimentam animais de sua comunidade ou de portadores de necessidades especiais que fazem disso uma causa e até mesmo uma razão para viver. Por vezes, idosos são violentados psicologicamente por condôminos que residem no mesmo prédio, os quais passam a praticar um legítimo bullying, progressivo contra essas pessoas, a par de serem pessoas com maior vulnerabilidade, ameaçando-as e perturbando-lhes a tranquilidade.
Diante da atuação arbitrária de órgãos municipais, mormente das Secretarias da Saúde e Vigilância Sanitária ou de qualquer outra entidade que, eventualmente, venha notificar cidadãos que abraçam a causa animal, sempre existe a possibilidade de buscar a solução desses conflitos na Justiça.
Cabe, porém, ressaltar que notificações arbitrárias podem ser refutadas mediante contranotificação, a qual dará respaldo ao contranotificante, em caso de persistência da autoridade municipal, seja na esfera administrativa, seja na judicial.
Como exemplo, destaco o caso de recente notificação da Secretaria da Saúde e Vigilância Sanitária, de um município litorâneo, dirigida a pessoas que alimentam animais comunitários, com o fito de proibi-los desse cuidado. Absurda, desumana e cruel mostra-se tal notificação que vai de encontro à Lei dos Animais Comunitários7, dentre outras leis, as quais não trazem esta proibição, pelo contrário, tratam de regular o assunto.
Maior a perplexidade, quando se compara a atuação dos servidores da SEDA, frente a casos semelhantes, cuja preocupação é cadastrar, microchipar e esterilizar animais comunitários, sem retirá-los do seio da comunidade.
A maior lição que se pode retirar do tema, é que não apenas os animais são prejudicados nesses casos, mas, sobretudo, os indivíduos que tem seus interesses, seus direitos fundamentais e sua dignidade8 violados, causando-lhes dor e dano psicológico e, muitas vezes, até físicos, por causar ou agravar doenças.
Portanto, a luta pelos direitos dos animais é uma verdadeira luta pelos direitos humanos, que continuará por muito tempo a ser travada pelos indivíduos contra as arbitrariedades de outros particulares e do Poder Público, até que se atinja o nível mínimo de informação, educação, conscientização e respeito, que hoje já são compreendidos apenas por alguns.

Macao
Guia Lighthouse
Guia Fortress, Lighthouse and Chapel: Built on the top of the highest hill in Macau peninsula (which has a walking trail with gymnastics infrastructures) is the Guia Fortress, erected in 1637 inside which is a lighthouse (1865), the first to be built in the China coast. Besides the lighthouse there is a Chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Guia, decorated with beautiful frescoes recently restored. From the fortress the visitor can visit the whole city and the Pearl River. It is an extremely calm spot ideal for photos, with a coffee shop selling soft drinks and coffee. Moreover it is here that the typhoon signals are hoisted in order to inform the population that the tropical storm is approaching.
The Guia Complex, which includes a historical military fort, chapel and lighthouse, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.The fort and chapel were constructed between 1622 and 1638. The lighthouse was constructed between 1864 and 1865, the first western style lighthouse in east Asia or on the China coast.
In October 2006, the Macau Government announced a gigantic construction project which includes a new home for Beijing’s Liaison Office. With such construction plan, Macau’s signature lighthouse will be hidden from large portions of the city, and, perhaps the harbour.
The project at the foot of Macau’s Guia Hill comprises a 135 metre tall tower, a 99.12 metre tower, with other tall buildings in a line spanning some 300 metres, while the Guia Hill is only 91 metres in height.
The height of Beijing’s Liaison Office (99.12 metres) is designed to commemorate December 1999, the year of Macau’s return to Chinese sovereignty. The building is already under construction and will be complete next December to commemorate the eighth anniversary of Macau’s handover.
The Association for the Protection of Macau’s Historical and Cultural Heritage warned the Macau government that if the high-rise buildings turned out to block the view of the Guia Lighthouse, it would upset the feelings of many residents.
Earlier in 2006, the Macau government uplifted two decrees that stipulated maximum construction heights in that area. The Land, Public Works and Transportation Office said the revocation stemmed from “the need to modernize the legislation, already 15 years old and completely outdated, out of touch with the gambling sector development and the increasing need for building sites”. Since 2006 summer, there have been a few heritage disputes in Macau. Activists have been fighting against a building plan that threatened to block the sea view from the A-Ma Temple, a World Heritage site honoring the goddess of seafarers and protesting against a government plan to demolish the Little Blue House - a historic mansion that isn’t on the World Heritage list.
According to the Macau Post Daily (January 10, 2007), heritage management expert, Mr. Imon, stressed that the UNESCO in Paris has a so-called World Heritage in Danger List that comprises properties deemed by the organization to be in peril because of adverse developments in their surroundings. In case of a world-heritage property’s inclusion in the danger list, the UNESCO may issue a warning in order to urge the respective country [China in the case of Macau] to stop the damage and to remedy the situation.

Anyhoo, I was rewarded with my FIRST ever Fallow deer Rut, which was pretty intense for 5 minutes!!
Hope everybody had a great Weekend..:)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~ This article is about the deer genus. For other uses, see Dama (disambiguation).
Description ~ The male fallow deer is known as a buck, the female is a doe, and the young a fawn. Adult bucks are 140–160 cm (55–63 in) long with a 85–95 cm (33–37 in) shoulder height, and typically 60–100 kg (130–220 lb) in weight; does are 130–150 cm (51–59 in) long with a 75–85 cm (30–33 in) shoulder height, and 30–50 kg (66–110 lb) in weight. The largest bucks may measure 190 cm (75 in) long and weigh 150 kg (330 lb). Fawns are born in spring at about 30 cm (12 in) and weigh around 4.5 kg (9.9 lb). The life span is around 12–16 years.
The species has great variations in the colour of their coats, with four main variants, "common", "menil", melanistic and leucistic – a genuine colour variety, not albinistic. The white is the lightest coloured, almost white; common and menil are darker, and melanistic is very dark, sometimes even black (easily confused with the sika deer).
Common: Chestnut coat with white mottles that are most pronounced in summer with a much darker, unspotted coat in the winter. Light-coloured area around the tail, edged with black. Tail is light with a black stripe.
Menil: Spots more distinct than common in summer and no black around the rump patch or on the tail. In winter, spots still clear on a darker brown coat.
Melanistic (black): All year black shading to greyish-brown. No light-coloured tail patch or spots.
Leucistic (white, but not albino): Fawns cream-coloured, adults become pure white, especially in winter. Dark eyes and nose, no spots.
Most herds consist of the common coat variation, yet it is not rare to see animals of the menil coat variation. The Melanistic variation is rarer and white very much rarer still.
Only bucks have antlers, which are broad and shovel-shaped (palmate) from three years. In the first two years the antler is a single spike. They are gazing animals; their preferred habitat is mixed woodland and open grassland. During the rut bucks will spread out and females move between them, at this time of year fallow deer are relatively ungrouped compared to the rest of the year when they try to stay together in groups of up to 150.
Agile and fast in case of danger, fallow deer can run up to a maximum speed of 30 mph (48 km/h) over short distances (being naturally less muscular than other cervids such as roe deer, they are not as fast). Fallow deer can also make jumps up to 1.75 metres high and up to 5 metres in length.

The photograph shows Manchester Elementary Schools Children's Choir with the Halle Orchestra, after a recording session (which produced the popular rendition of Purcell's `Nymphs and Shepherds') for Columbia Records.
The Choir consisted of 60 boys and 190 girls, aged 9 to 14, drawn from 50 schools (mainly `central') all over Manchester. The choir was predominantly working-class since those children whose parents could afford musical instruments and music lessons went into the school children's orchestra. The children were taught to sing phonetically to erase local dialect.
The photograph is unique in that it records the only collaboration between the universally renowned orchestra and a choir of 250 working class school children lacking conventional musical training, (Grammar School pupils were assumed to have no time to spare for non-academic endeavours such as this, which required two evenings a week rehearsal throughout the whole academic year). As the prints cost 5/- each at the time, the children, given their background, could not afford copies (only six of 180 members contacted in 1975 held a copy). The photograph was arranged spontaneously, thus the children are not in concert dress, but dressed in school uniform or evening clothes and they are out of formation; it is the first photograph of any sort of the choir.
The photograph shows the old Free Trade Hall, before the interior was destroyed during the bombing of 1940-41. The orchestra consists entirely of men because of the conductor's, Hamilton Harty, insistence that, during the depression, women were not to be employed as they might be taking a place that a man, as the dominant bread-winner of a family, could fulfil.
The adults on the photograph are: left foreground, left background and centre middle - Registrars from Manchester Education Committee; centre foreground - Walter Carroll (Music Advisor to Manchester Education Committee, 1923-1935, the first such appointment made in the Country), Gertrude Riall (Carroll's assistant), and Hamilton Harty (Conductor of the Halle Orchestra); right middle - Edna Jamieson (Accompaniest to the choir); the remainder are members of the Halle Orchestra.
The Manchester School-Children's choir existed from 1925-1939 and grew out of the combined choirs (from 3, 4, or 5 schools and consisting of about 50 choiristers) which, starting in 1923 gave concerts - usually in local Town Halls - during Civic Week. The concert with the Halle lasted from 1929 until Walter Carroll's retirement in 1935.

Photoshopcreatie. Ik had maar ruimte voor 12 etages op deze foto. De plannen gaan uit van 50 meter en dat zou dus 16 of 17 etages kunnen worden.
Als de plannen van de gemeente doorgaan ziet mijn straatje er over een paar jaar ongeveer zo uit!!!
In een van die flatjes rechts op deze foto woon ik .
De linker woontoren heb ik er zelf ingeshopt, hij staat er dus (nog) niet.
Tussen het bushokje uiterst links en de straat recht voor u ligt een stukje groen dat door velen wordt gezien als braakliggend terrein. Dit stukje is echter een monument, aangeboden aan Piet Vink bij zijn afscheid uit de Haagse gemeentepolitiek. Dit monument heet daarom "De Terp van Vink". .

Bijna heel Beach Resort Kijkduin is inmiddels verkocht aan projectontwikkelaar Q Vastgoed Creatie. Zij presenteerden onlangs hun ingrijpende nieuwbouwplannen voor Kijkduin - zie deze website www.hetnieuwekijkduin.nl - en de uitdrukkelijke wens van de gemeente om in deze buurt meer woningen te bouwen is op dit monument een hoogteaccent (we mogen een flatgebouw van 50 meter geen hoogbouw noemen van Marnix Norder) gepland. In deze buurt moeten volgens de huidige plannen 800 tot 1000 nieuwe woningen komen. Wethouder Marnix Norder is een verre opvolger en partijgenoot van Piet Vink en wil dus op een monument ter ere van zijn verre voorganger een wolkenkrabber neerzetten.
De buurt protesteert natuurlijk op volle toeren, voornamelijk tegen die enorme hoogbouw. Bij het verschijnen van het plan, enkele maanden geleden, heeft het Algemeen Dagblad (vroeger gewoon de Haagse Courant) een informatiebijeenkomst in het Atlantic Hotel georganiseerd. Het hotel was te klein, politie en beveiliging moesten ingeschakeld worden. Marnix Norder kon uitleggen wat hij wilde, aan het eind van de avond stak niemand een hand omhoog toen de AD-presentator vroeg of er nu meer begrip voor de plannen van Norder was. De gemeenteraad heeft het struktuurplan (of zoiets) inmiddels wel aangenomen en binnen afzienbare tijd worden de plannen voorgelegd aan bewoners, gebruikers en belanghebbenden. Dit wekt de suggestie dat er nog inspraak mogelijk is.
Wij zijn er klaar voor.

I picked up the Lensbaby Fisheye Optic at Imaging USA this year. Initially I thought I would have pretty limited reasons to use it. I might pull it out for the occasional odd portrait or something but a true 180° fisheye is most often used in rap videos and at skate parks, neither of which do I often photography.
But, I am finding it a lot more useful than I originally imagined. Human vision is a funny thing. We are aware, via peripheral vision, of almost 180° of the world but we only have good focus on about 10° of out vision. Our eyes and brain see a lot but we only focus on a small sliver of that. As distorted and odd as these round images look, there is something familiar to them just because they do show the world as we see it… sort of. On a full-frame sensor camera, like the Canon 5D MKII, a 12mm fisheye like this Lensbaby optic produces a round image and much of the sensor never sees any light. The view is so wide that you have to be careful that you don’t get your feet, camera strap or elbow in the shot.
In spite of all the distortion that the lens gives, it provides a very deep depth of field even when focused very close and shot at f/4 like (the aperture I used on these shots).
There are a few drawbacks to the Lensbaby fisheye when you use it in their Composer rig. First, you have to be very careful that the image is centered properly or you end up with some of the elegant sphere getting cut off. It is also manual focus and because everything looks so small through the viewfinder, you really have to shift to Live View and digitally zoom in to focus properly. This is not a big deal if you have a little time to compose your shot but tends to preclude and “on the fly shooting.”
Anyway, it’s a fun addition to the arsenal of obscure lenses that I seem to love and fawn over. It is also a good bit cheaper than the Canon EF 8-1fmm lens f/4 L USM (which will set you back $1,400 and only stops down to f/4 while the lens baby goes to f/2). I am sure that the Auto Focus of the Canon would take a lot of the leg-work out of using an extreme fisheye and that the optics are cleaner, but I have heard reports that the clarity, when stopped down and used properly are not worth the price difference.
But, enough camera geek talk. I hope you enjoy this somewhat unusual view of Louisiana and Mississippi during the winter that I photographed yesterday on my ride back from Lake Bruin. I’m looking forward to putting this lens to more remunerative use on my next portrait assignment. All in all, highly recommended.

La piazza ducale, il cuore della cittadina di Vigevano,è forse il più tipico esempio di piazza rinascimentale, creata di getto sopra un piano prestabilito e con un tema architettonico rigidamente unitario.
Fu voluta nel 1494 da Ludovico il Moro come nobile ingresso al Castello, eletto a residenza estiva della corte Sforzesca, e si vuole che il progetto l'abbia dato Leonardo.
E' un vasto rettangolo, tutto chiuso, cinto per tre lati da uniformi, bassi palazzetti a portici ad arcate su colonne, con un piano nobile di finestre a centina e un attico aperto da oculi, tutti rivestiti di una vivace decorazione pittorica, ripristinata a principio del secolo su tracce antiche. Dietro il lato Sud della piazza si leva imponente la torre del castello, a più piani rientranti e merlati dovuta al Bramante; è l'unica nota verticale tra così accentuato predominio di basse, sfuggenti linee orizzontali.
Sul lato orientale fa da sfondo il Duomo, la cui seicentesca facciata, con un senso della scenografia tutto barocco, si espande incurvandosi per l'intera larghezza della piazza.
L'effetto che ne viene è quello di arginarne il flusso della spazialità che le affluisce sul ritmo della lunga teoria dei portici, i quali scorrono con uguale passo,senza concedere una pausa, un varco alla loro bella continuità.
Ordine, misura e armonia determinano l'incanto di questo incomparabile ambiente, così tipicamente lombardo, così fatto su misura umana, privo di retorica, di spettacolare monumentalità, come si conveniva, del resto, alle funzioni di cortile d'ingresso a una residenza di campagna, attribuitagli in origine dal suo ideatore.
Oggi esso si mostra non meno consono allo spirito e alla vita di una cittadina di provincia, di cui a giusto titolo costituisce l'orgoglio, e che ne ha fatto il suo salotto, il suo ritrovo, il teatro dei riti della sua vita quotidiana, dei suoi ozi e delle sue piccole vanità, come se ne conviene per una cultura ricca e fervida.

Lo sexy se lleva y pocas son las famosas que se resisten a mostrar todo lo que pueden en cuanto pueden. Los vestidos pueden ser de todo tipo, pero sus mejores atributos deben quedar a la vista: los photocalls se han convertido en un baile de escotes vertiginosos, piernas y culos. Vende la foto de la que más muestre. Y la fiesta de Fashion Rocks en Nueva York es una muestra más de ello.
Lo de Jennifer López es un clásico: un vestido negro de Atelier Versace con el que mostrar la pierna y un escote hasta el ombligo. Está estupenda a sus cuarenta y tantos, pero no hace falta demostrarlo todo el rato.
Bella Thorne apuesta por la pose Pataky para destacar su trasero bien ceñido. El vestido verde satén con escote corazón es precioso y ese es el color que mejor queda a las pelirrojas, para mi gusto.
Desde luego, no sorprende Nicki Minaj con un vestido negro cortísimo con escote que deja poco a la imaginación. Cuando se provoca todo el rato al final dejas de sorprender.
Rita Ora es otra que si no lo enseña todo parece que no existe. Esta vez son las transparencias de su Stéphane Rolland Couture las que dejan las piernas al descubierto, aunque por lo demás el vestido es bastante tapadito para lo que suele llevar. Otra más que se apunta al negro.
Y terminamos el repaso a las famosas que asistieron a la gala Fashion Rocks con La diosa Naomi Campbell, que se decidió por un discreto vestido con hombro asimétrico en blanco y plata.

So I bought this gorgeous new hat when I went shopping with my mom on Thursday. It's so cute and so huge! I love it. And I went to the Renessaince festival yesterday (expect pictures from that too) and wore it and got quite a few compliments on it.
I also bought these cool awesome new overalls (or coveralls, whichever. What do you guys call them?) and I love them so insanely much. You can see them better in the first one in comments. :]
So how have you guys been? I promise to check over your streams and respond to your comments as soon as possible. As I said before, I've just been really busy and really stressed and just haven't had time to really even pay attention to flickr, let alone take pictures. I can't wait to get out of high school!
Oh, I've also been experimenting a lot, especially with these photos. :]

I was reminded by a good friend of mine of Chris Killip's work which is being exhibited in France just now. This my more recent take (2009) in terms of time but some things don't seem to change that much.
Chris Killip's book is just as valid today: "When I first saw the beach at Lynemouth in January 1976, I recognized the industry above it but nothing else I was seeing. The beach beneath me was full of activity with horses and carts backed into the sea. Men were standing in the sea next to the carts, using small wire nets attached to poles to fish out the coal from the water beneath them. The place confounded time; here the Middle Ages and the twentieth century intertwined. Chris Killip began photographing the people of Lynemouth seacoal beach in the north east of England in 1982, after nearly seven years of failed efforts to obtain their consent. During 1983 to 1984 he lived in a caravan on the seacoal camp, and documented the life, work and the struggle to survive on the beach, using his unflinching style of objective documentation. Fifty, of the one hundred and twenty four images published here, were first shown in 1984 at the Side Gallery in Newcastle and others were an important element of Killips ground-breaking and legendary book In Flagrante, published four years later. Chris Killip, born on the Isle of Man in 1946, is a Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University where he has taught since 1991. His works are held in the permanent collections of, among others: Museum of Modern Art, New York; George Eastman House; Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco; Museum Folkwang, Essen; the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. His books include In Flagrante (1988), Pirelli Work (2007), and Here Comes Everybody (2009)." Quoted from Amazon

The reclaimed wetlands of the river Foix estuary have made this area into one of the main attractions of the town. The River Foix, which is dry during most of the year due to construction of the Foix Resservoir is another of the most emblematic places in Cubelles. At the Foix estuary, you can spend the day enjoying nature and birthwatching, or at one of the picnic areas. This zone is also intended for school visits, as it is a place where children can study the ecosystem of a Mediterranean river such as the Foix.
The estuary is separated from the sea by a sand barrier which has accumulated over time, due to sea currents and rainwater sediments, forming freshwater laguens behind the barrier. The natural area of the Foix Delta has a branch of land that sticks out into the sea. This was formed during the floods of 1994 and joins onto another branch, leaving an island in the middle. Tourists can visit the island by crossing a wooden footbridge.

La recuperación de los espacios húmedos de la desembocadura del río Foix ha convertido la zona en una de las de mayor atractivo del municipio. El río Foix -que desde la construcción del pantano del Foix está la mayor parte del año seco- es otro de los elementos más emblemáticos de los cubellenses. En la desembocadura del Foix, además de poder pasar un día rodeado de la Naturaleza, se puede observar el comportamiento de las aves autóctonas de esta zona o disfrutar de las áreas de picnic. El espacio también está dirigido a las escuelas, que pueden visitar y estudiar el ecosistema de un río mediterráneo, como es el del Foix.
Su desembocadura está separada del mar por una barrera de arena acumulada por las corrientes marítimas y los depósitos pluviales, formando lagunas de agua dulce en su interior. El Espacio Natural del Delta del Foix, mantiene el brazo de salida al mar que se formó por las riadas de 1994, a la que se ha añadido un segundo brazo dejando una isla en el medio, conectada con la zona de entretenimiento a través de unas pasarelas de madera. Otra pasarela de madera sobre uno de los brazos del río, sirve de punto de observación del desarrollo natural de la desembocadura del Foix.
A pair of silver Ramilletes
Estimate: PHP 150,000 - 160,000
Last quarter, 19th century
Manila
Silver, wood backing
54.5 x 21 cm (21 x 8 in) each
Provenance:
Formerly from the collection of Ramon N. Villegas
Ramilletes used to decorate colonial church altars as what modern bouquets of flowers would serve today. Made from silver sheet cut to shape like a hydria vase, then meticulously chased and embossed with intricate patterns of delicate flowers and foliage surrounding the scrolled cartouches and ovals, the open central hole resembling the lunette of a monstrance, and the inward scroll feet.
Interestingly, the flower and leaf designs are reminiscent of the inlay designs found in a Bulacan comoda. Topped by a receptacle for candles. Done in Naturalistic style popular in the mid-19th century, coinciding with the last phase of the Rococo period.

سيدة الموانىء البحرية المهندسة لميس القاعاتي : طموحي أكون سفيرة سلام لبلدي سوريا
حاورها: محمد كريزم - دبي - خاص بـ " وكالة أخبار المرأة "
wonews.net/ar/index.php?act=post&id=11402
سورية الأصل والإنتماء، إماراتية الولاء والعشق، راكمت من الأعمال والإبداعات ما جعلها ترتقي لأعلى الدرجات العلمية وتتبوأ أهم المسميات الوظيفية حتى أصبحت مشعلاً وضاءاُ تنير الدروب التي تسلكها، عقلها مع عملها الذي تتميز وتبدع به عن الأخرين، وقلبها مع بلدها " سوريا "، تتنقل عبر الموانىء البحرية العربية والعالمية، وتحرص على حضور المؤتمرات العالمية، وتساهم في الحراك الإجتماعي نحو الأفضل، تناصر المرأة العربية وتساند قضاياها في كافة المحافل الدولية، لديها من قوة الشخصية والتأثير ما يؤهلها لتكون سفيرة السلام والمرأة.
هي سيدة الأعمال ، المهندسة السورية لميس القاعاتي، عضو مجلس سيدأت أعمال الإمارات، ومؤسسة منظمة مجتمع سيدات سوريا " سيريان لايديز " وتدير أعمالها من دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة التي شهدت ميلادها، والتي أسست على أرضها كيان إقتصادي خاص بها.
" وكالة أخبار المرأة " حاورت سيدة الأعمال لميس القاعاتي، وفيما يلي نصه:
* بطاقة تعريفية لسيدة الأعمال المهندسة لميس القاعاتي؟
- من مواليد أبوظبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة ، سورية الأصل. استكملت دراستي الثانوية في الإمارات ثم انتقلت لمونتريال كندا في عمر 17 سنة لاستكمال الدراسة الجامعية و حزت على شهادة البكالوريوس في هندسة الكهرباء من جامعة ماجيل McGill الكندية و التي تعتبرمن الجامعات الرائدة عالميا. قضيت عشر سنوات في كندا بين العلم و العمل و حصلت على الجواز الكندي و عشت في بريطانيا 3 سنوات مع العائلة.
عملت مع شركة كندية في مجال الهندسة الإلكترونية ثم مع شركة فنلندية متخصصة في مجال خدمة الموانىء البحرية. و بعد ذلك أسست كيان اقتصادي على أرض الإمارات و أعمل حاليا كمديرة المبيعات الإقليمية و شريكة في شركة فيركات للمعدات الثقيلة و مناولة الحاويات والرافعات الشوكية المستخدمة في الموانىء البحرية و المصانع.
زرت معظم الموانىء البحرية في الشرق الأوسط لاسيما مصر وكنت أول سيدة عربية تزور ميناء صلالة البحري في عمان. شاركت في كثير من المعارض في مجال الموانىء في الصين و البلقان و أفريقيا و أوروبا وأمريكا. عضوة في مجلس سيدات أعمال الإمارات و شاركت في أول وفد تجاري الى جمهورية الجبل الأسود بحضور صاحب السمو الشيخ عبدلله بن زايد وزيرخارجية الإمارات و في جولات إقتصادية أخرى منظمة من مجالس سيدات أعمال الإمارات و العرب و غرف التجارة و الصناعة.
على الصعيد الإجتماعي كنت وراء فكرة تأسيس منظمة مجتمع سيدات سوريا " السيريان لايديز" الذي يختص بتبادل الخبرات و الموارد بين العضوات و يساهم في تدعيم المرأة و تمكينها في مشاريعها الريادية و جمع السيدات السوريات تحت مظلة دعم المرأة على اختلاف أطيافهم و تواجهاتهم السياسية و تبادل علاقات ودية و خبرات تساهم في بناء فكر المرأة . لها رسالة للمجتمع ودعوة موجهة للمؤسسات تحت عنوان لا للعنف من المرأة للمرأة و نعم لدعم المرأة.
على الناحية السياسية أؤمن أن المصالحة الوطنية و السلام هي الطريقة الوحيدة للأمام في سوريا.
وأنا متزوجة و أم لولدين وأتحمل مسؤؤليتهم في التربية و إدارة المنزل.
أؤمن بضرورة استقلال المرأة ماديا لتستطيع اثبات ذاتها و ذلك لا يأتي إلا بالجهد و العمل.
* هل لديك رؤية لصيغة حل لإنهاء الصراع في سوريا؟ وما هي أبرز نقاطه أو محاوره؟
- أرى أن الحل في سوريا هو السلام لأن سوريا فوق الجميع. أبرز نقاطه/ محاوره :
في الداخل السوري: المصالحة الوطنية بين الحكومة ورموز المعارضة ورموز الشعب و الشعب. الوحدة الوطنية و الجلوس على طاولة الحوار الهادف لرسم خطة تعمل على إعادة إصلاح العلاقات السورية السورية لوضع و صياغة و تطبيق خطة محكمة لقهر الإرهاب على يد حماة الديار الجيش العربي السوري. وإعادة اعمار سوريا سوريا الأمل بالمشاركة بين الجميع جيش و قيادة و شعب.
الخارج السوري: التعاون مع الدول الكبرى لمحاربة الإرهاب الذي بات يهدد مصالح جميع هذه الدول. وإعادة الإعمار في سوريا من خلال اجتذاب اللإستثمارات و الخبرات من الدول الصديقة. إعادة ترميم العلاقات السورية العربية بهدف إحداث السلام في المنطقة و حماية و تنمية إقتصاد الوطن العربي.
* بإعتقادك ما هي أفضل السبل الممكنة للتخفيف من معاناة المرأة السورية في معسكرات اللجوء والنزوح المنتشرة في عدة بلدان؟
- لن ينهي هذه المعاناة إلا توفير و تيسير السبل لعودة السوريات من مخيمات اللجوء إلى حضن الوطن
من هذه السبل :
في الداخل السوري: بناء مساكن إيواء للنساء اللواتي فقدن بيوتهن بسبب الأزمة والحرب.
توفير ورشات توعية تساعد هذه السيدات على التخلص من أثار ثقافة الدم لمساعدتها نفسيا و معنويا وحماية جيل المستقبل من مخلفات الحقد.
إشراكهن في مشاريع مستدامة ليكونوا جزء فاعل و منتج لرفع اقتصاد الدولة
و دعمهن في مجال التعليم المجاني و الطبابة و العلاج.
* ما تعليقك على ما يتم تداوله في وسائل الإعلام العربية حول النساء السوريات اللاجئات لاسيما زواج القاصرات منهن في البلدان المتواجدة فيها؟
- أستنكر هذا الفعل المشين بحق الإنسانية و المرأة والأم ،وأرى فيه إجحاف و إنتقاص من قيمة المرأة العربية و ظلم و استغلال للمرأة السورية.
* بصفتك سيدة أعمال وتواكبي أخر التطورات والمستجدات في مجال الأعمال الحرة، هل تعتقدين أن هذا المجال يمنح الفرصة الكافية للمرأة في العمل والمنافسة والمساواة الكاملة؟ أم أن الأمر خلاف ذلك؟
- في مجال التجارة و الأعمال هناك مساواة كاملة و المعوقات محدودة و الفرصة في هذا المجال تصنعها المرأة نفسها من خلال رسم خطة مدروسة لمسارها على صعيد العمل و الذي يبدأ بالعلم ثم اكتساب الخبرات من خلال العمل و تطوير الذات لجعلها مؤهلة لإدارة الأعمال و الشركات.
* كثيرا من سيدات الأعمال العربيات تعاني من قيود القوانين السائدة والإقصاء والتهميش في بلادهن، حسب رأيك هل حان الوقت لتشكيل تحالفات إقتصادية ومالية نسائية لتجاوز هذه العقبات والإشكاليات؟
- لا أعرف بالضبط ماذا تعني بتحالفات اقتصادية نسائية ؟! و لكن أجيبك أن
لا ينحصر التهميش على سيدات الأعمال فقط وإنما هو يشمل المرأة العربية عامة فهي مقيدة بتقاليد وعادات و مسؤؤليات الإنجاب و الزواج و إدارة المنزل....الخ. والقوانين العربية لم تنصفها و تدعمها في مجالات كثيرة للتمكن من القيام بمسؤؤلياتها و العمل معاً بتوازي. مثال على ذلك الفترة ما بعد الولادة و العودة للعمل أو مناصرتها ضد التحرش الذي تتعرض له المرأة خلال العمل و كثير من المعوقات المشابهة التي تثبط من المرأة و طموحها.
بالتأكيد وجود مجالس وجمعيات نسائية للحوار و تبادل الخبرات يساعد على تقدم المرأة في مجال الأعمال.على سبيل المثال من مهام مجالس سيدات الأعمال تطوير العلاقات مع البنوك و ذلك لدعم العضوات و تيسير السبل لهن في مجالات الإستثمار ومنح القروض لبدء مشاريعهن وأعمالهن. ربط سيدات الأعمال بغرف التجارة و الصناعة وإعطاءهن فرصة متساوية للمشاركة بالجولات الإقتصادية و البعثات التجارية للبحث عن فرص واعدة. و فتح مجالات جديدة في سوق العمل تناسب المرأة و مؤهلاتها.
* هل هناك فروق ما بين مسميات رائدة الأعمال وسيدة الأعمال وصاحبة الأعمال؟ وما هو تعريفك الشخصي لسيدة الأعمال؟
- نعم هناك فروق. صاحبة الأعمال هي سيدة تستثمر أموالها بأسهم في مشاريع و لكن لا تديرها و لا تكون جزء في بناء أو تطوير الشركة او المؤسسة. سيدة الأعمال هي سيدة تبوأت منصب إداري إما بصعود السلم الوظيفي أو بتأسيس شركة و هي تتحمل مسؤؤلية مباشرة في إدارة المشاريع أو الشركة و مشاركتها تكون لها تأثير مباشرعلى الناتج الربحي لهذه الشركة. رائدة الأعمال هي سيدة ذو فكرة متطورة جديدة خلاقة تتشارك فيها مع مسثمرين أو تبنيها بنفسها من الصفر.
* ما هي أكثر المجالات إستثماراَ لسيدات الأعمال العربيات بشكل عام والسوريات على وجه الخصوص؟
- أكثر المجالات استثمارا لسيدات الأعمال أرتبها كالتالي العقار و سندات الإستثمار و سوق الذهب ثم الأسهم. بالنسبة للسوريات أعتقد أن الإستثمار بالمشاريع الصغيرة قبل الأزمة أما بعد الأزمة الإسنثمار أعتقد أنه العقار.
* رغم القدرات المالية الهائلة لدى سيدات أعمال الخليج وقوة حضورهن الاقتصادي لكن لم يتم ترجمة قوتهن وتسييلها بإتجاه تقوية حضورهن السياسي وفتح أفق جديدة لمشاركة أوسع في المجالات الأخرى وتعزيز مبدأ المساواة والعدالة الاجتماعية ، ما تعليقك على ذلك؟
- أشيد بالقيادات الخليجية الرائدة و بالأخص الإماراتية. هذه القيادات الحكيمة ساهموا واستثمروا في بناء المرأة الخليجية و كرسوا المال و الجهد للنهوض بفكرها و دعمها بفرص التعليم المتطورة و فرص العمل و التدريب الواعدة على مدى العشرين سنة الماضية حتى أصبحت المرأة الخليجية تتبوأ مناصب إدارية و قيادية و باتت لامعة في مجالات الأعمال و المحافل الدولية. أما في مجال حقوق المرأة و السياسة فلا زال أمامها الكثير من العقبات وأولها مدى أن تكون مؤهلة و أضيف أن هذه خطوة لا تأتي إلا بعد أجيال من التطور الفكري و الحضاري للمرأة و لكن لا ننسى أن هناك حالات اسثنائية لسيدات مبدعات خليجيات برزن في مناصب في وزارة الخارجية و البرلمان وهن رمز لكل امرأة طموحة. من ناحية هي مؤهلة و من ناحية أخرى لولا دعم الرجل القيادي لها و إتاحة الفرصة المتساوية برحابة صدر لما تبوأت هذه المناصب.
* حاليا تقاس قوة تحضر الدول بمدى صونها وإحترامها للمرأة وتعزيز وتقوية مكانتها في كافة المجالات والميادين بخلاف ما تتم ممارسته في الدول العربية، ما تعقيبك على ذلك؟
- عندما ينشغل فكرالإنسان باحترام الإنسان و مناصرته في حقوقه و بناء الجمعيات و المؤسسات الإجتماعية الغير ربحية التي تنمي المجتمع والمرأة فهذا يكون مقياس على مدى تطور فكر الفرد و المجتمع و مدى استقرار الدولة اقتصاديا و سياسيا. وعندما تبني مجتمع فيه المرأة و الرجل منتجين فإنك حتما تنمي الإقتصاد و ترفع من مستوى معيشة الفرد و تطور فكر المرأة الذي ترضعه للأجيال القادمة فينشأ جيل متطور.
* هل لديك طموحات شخصية لتكوني قيادية سياسية ويكون لديك دور في المرحلة المقبلة؟
- أتمنى أن أكون سفيرة للسلام و المرأة لوطني سوريا و المساهمة في إعادة بناء و توطيد العلاقات السورية السورية، و السورية العربية والأجنبية.
* كلمتك الأخيرة لقراء ومتابعي " وكالة أخبار المرأة "؟
- شكرا لمديرعام وكالة أخبار المرأة الإعلامي محمد كريزم ولوكالة أخبار المرأة للمشاركة في تدعيم المرأة و إلقاء الضوء على فكرها ليصل إلى عدد أكبر من فئات المجتمع. و أختتم حواري هذا بشعار نعم لدعم المرأة.

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

Joan Taylor as Carol Marvin

Morris Ankrum as Brig. Gen. John Hanley
John Zaremba as Prof. Kanter
Thomas Browne Henry as Vice-Admiral Enright

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

View On Black I MALAY WEDDING ®©2011 Onephotostream / Bizzitone.
A Malay wedding is usually performed when either one or both spouses are Malay. Malaysian law defines a Malay person as a Muslim.Malay weddings are grand affairs where the couple is treated as royalty. The traditional wedding ceremony is in two parts. The first part is the akad nikah (marriage contract), which is the legal and religious part of the wedding. The second part is the bersanding (enthronement), which is a family celebration. It is usual for the two parts to be celebrated over two days. However, it is becoming common for there to be a gap between the parts of the wedding, during which the couple are legally married, but saving up for an elaborate bersanding. In cases where the couple have family spread around the world, a number of bersanding may be held in different countries to allow everyone to wish the couple well.
During a walk in my neighborhood yesterday, I saw a couple of Long-tailed Tits (Aegithalos caudatus) who were so busy building their nest. The weather was just gorgeous and I'm sure they were in the mood for spring ;-)
These beautiful small birds were pretty shy and it was hard to approach them. I had to keep a distance so this is a cropped version from the original.

Notes: Marty and I played hooky yesterday. The forecast was for sun and 66 degrees (f). For January, that's a pretty rare treat for us. So we packed up our gear and headed to the beach. Or "down the shore" as we like to say in New Jersey. The temps by the ocean were not to meet the expected 60+ temps but nonetheless, it was a spectacular day out. We didn't see a lot of different or new species, sans this one.
Horned Larks have probably been there many times before, but, thanks to a guy we met out on the jetty (Thanks, Todd!) we were pointed in the right direction. I scooted on my rear end, propping my lens on my knees (with bean bag) a good 30 feet to get this shot. High sun and white sand, make for challenging shooting. I chose this image to share because the horns are so predominantly displayed.
About 3/4 the way through the day of shooting I realized I was shooting in JPG mode. Gulp. But alas, as it turned out, no harm done. It ended up making the post work, well... a breeze if you want to know the truth. Can I pull as much out of shadows, etc? No... but for a day out having fun... who cares? I think I may opt to let my camera do the heavy work next time too.
The Soligas are a tribe that inhabits the Biligirirangan and associated hill ranges in Southern Karnataka, India. Their population numbers close to 20000, although the population in and around Biligrirangan Hills is only 2000.
The word 'Soliga' means 'one who has come from within a bamboo'. The Soligas believe that their ancestors originated from the bamboo. The tribal settlement is called Podu. It consists of a group of usually 10 to 50 huts. The huts are made of bamboos and dried grass. The door is a portable bamboo frame and usually 3 feet in height.
The religion of the Soligas is the poetry of their life. They do not find God to be away or alien but feel His presence in the forest, in Nature and in every blade of grass. They revere a big Champak tree (Dodda Sampige in local tongue) in the interior forest.
"The Lord of Dodda Sampige Do protect us! The creeper that hangs over the tree Swings gently as a cradle for Thee."
Traditionally, the Soligas led a seminomadic life and subsisted on small game. Shifting cultivation, coffee and minor forest produce like honey, wild roots, tubes and fruits. Ragi is their staple food.
They are increasingly being brought to the 'main-stream' with an active Government and NGO initiative (such as VGKK). Many have been given lands closer to 'civilization' and most of the forest-dwelling population have been brought together into clusters called Podus. Nowadays their homes are being constructed with brick and with the arrival of DTH Satellite Television in the area, most houses have television sets as well!

i carry your heart with me (carry it in my heart) I am never without it (anywhere i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of the tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart ( i carry it in my heart)
ee cummings
White are the far-off plains, and white
The fading forests grow;
The wind dies out along the height,
And denser still the snow,
A gathering weight on roof and tree,
Falls down scarce audibly.
The road before me smooths and fills
Apace, and all about
The fences dwindle, and the hills
Are blotted slowly out;
The naked trees loom spectrally
Into the dim white sky.
The meadows and far-sheeted streams
Lie still without a sound;
Like some soft minister of dreams
The snow-fall hoods me round;
In wood and water, earth and air,
A silence everywhere.
Save when at lonely intervals
Some farmer's sleigh, urged on,
With rustling runners and sharp bells,
Swings by me and is gone;
Or from the empty waste I hear
A sound remote and clear;
The barking of a dog, or call
To cattle, sharply pealed,
Borne echoing from some wayside stall
Or barnyard far afield;
Then all is silent and the snow falls
Settling soft and slow
The evening deepens and the grey
Folds closer earth and sky
The world seems shrouded, far away.
Its noises sleep, and I secret as
Yon buried streams plod dumbly on and dream.
