First day back at school, I didnt have a class till 2, so I decided to take pictures with my friend Jesse. We Went inside this what appears to be small church from the outside, but is actually really big on the inside. It was really nice inside, took this quickly and then left cause they were getting ready to lock the doors. I shall return!

"...on the floor of his room."

(On black.)

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.

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

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.

www.naplesldm.com/pozzport.php

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.

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

An abbreviation of the word torpedo, pedo is a term of endearment often used by business magnates, investors and engineers, for a fast and excellent swimmer or diver. Sometimes, divers in Thailand who rescue young soccer teams from caves believe it means pedophile, but that's not the case.

PERSON 1: “Sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it.”

PERSON 2: "Did you just call me a pedophile?"

PERSON 1: No, it's short for torpedo. You swim really fast."

PERSON 2: "Oh my bad. And thank you. You are a true gentleman."

PERSON 1: "And you, sir, are a true pedo."

Pedo guy

Common insult used in South Africa in 1970s and 1980s. It is synonymous with “creepy old man” and is used to insult a person’s appearance and demeanor. Usually used in a very aristocratic way. As of lately, however, has become rare in spoken English due to increased avareness of term “pedophilia” among younger generation and millennials.

Other popular examples of psychological disorders being used as an insult include words “idiot”, “downs” and others.

Pedo guy

(noun) - Traditional South African insult, circa 1930's, originally aimed at people too poor to own a motor vehicle, and so were forced to remain as pedestrians.

More modern usage is by middle-class westerners who are so entrenched in their usage of vehicles with internal combustion engines, that they shun or eschew the development of electric vehicles (see also icing). i.e. they would rather choose to walk, than to drive an electric vehicle, even if it gives the appearance that they could be too poor to own a motor vehicle.

e.g. "I'd rather be a pedo guy than to buy a Nissan Leaf!"

Toneel - Performance - The Asaro Mudmen

Een jong paar vindt een vruchtbaar stukje grond om te bewerken. De lokale mensen willen de 'landrovers' verjagen. In de nacht komen strijders uit de rivier geklauterd, hun lichaam volledig onder de modder. Ze zetten ook een moddermasker op. Al dansend komen ze muisstil rond het koppel geslopen. Die zijn plotseling verrast en denken dat dit boze geesten zijn. Vliegensvlug lopen ze weg... de dorpsclan heeft hun grond terug!

We see the story about a couple who had been stolen a peace of ground.

The Asarao Mudmen come from just outside the town of Goroka in the Eastern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea.

Legend has it that the mudmen were defeated by an opposing tribe and forced to flee into the Asaro River. They waited until dusk before attempting to escape. The enemy saw them arise from the muddy banks covered in mud and thought they were spirits. Most tribes in Papua New Guinea are very scared of spirits, so the enemy fled in fear, and the Asaro Mudmen were victorious. The Mudmen then went into the town to see what had happened, not knowing the enemy were still there. The enemy were so terrified they ran back to their town and had a special ceremony to ward off the spirits.

Alright, it's a new year and I thought about restarting a 365 but then I went back and looked through all that I've already done and written about and I couldn't just abandon it for a new one. So instead of starting fresh, I'm giving it a second chance and picking up with the # that January 1st is supposed to be, even though I last left off at 86. I'll catch up when I have time. Also, a new stipulation is the shot has to be taken each day. Something pertinent about each day. Anyways, the point is....the holiday madness is over, the month of December is over, and now life can get leveled.

For me, December held frigid weather, work, good friends, heartbreak, apartment hunting, lease signing, going broke, and moving. It also held guilt for letting my photography... my one and only outlet... fall by the wayside. But no more. Thank god it was only a month, or else I would feel worse and it would be even harder to pick it back up. December was emotionally exhausting, which is saying a lot since the month before it was just as, if not more, emotionally exhausting.

But I've made some personal decisions. I am going to avoid further emotional exhaustion and focus on simplicity, inner peace, and loving myself. I will surround myself with creative people with good hearts and goals. I will be honest with myself and those I am close to. Most of all, I will forgive myself.

Easy enough right? And I will think positive thoughts before fall asleep.

I think I made my feet look sufficiently horror-movie gritty. Anyone care to fund a pedicure? I've never had one and I guess it's supposed to be nice.

Happy new year, Flickrs.

In My Craft or Sullen Art

In my craft or sullen art

Exercised in the still night

When only the moon rages

And the lovers lie abed

With all their griefs in their arms,

I labor by singing light

Not for ambition or bread

Or the strut and trade of charms

On the ivory stages

But for the common wages

Of their most secret heart.

Not for the proud man apart

From the raging moon I write

On these spindrift pages

Nor for the towering dead

With their nightingales and psalms

But for the lovers, their arms

Round the griefs of the ages,

Who pay no praise or wages

Nor heed my craft or art.

Francis Newton Souza, better known as F.N. Souza is the most internationally successful modern Indian artist in history. Souza was ahead of his time in terms of expanding exposure for himself and other global artists with a different, interesting, and culturally important point of view. In many ways, Souza helped paved the transition from the Euro-American centric modern art era the more globally focused contemporary art era of the post-twentieth century. He created the Bombay Progressive Artists’ Group which aimed to get Indian artist internationally recognized. He left India to study in London in 1949 after India became independent. Once in London, Souza’s art began to cultivate a significant following. He also began a prominent writer, and gained a reputation as an artist and a writer. Perhaps the most notable thing about F.N. Souza’s art was how avant guard it was. In the 1950s when Souza was coming into prominence, it was not common for any artists from outside the Western world to develop art on the cutting edge of global art trends. F.N. Souza, however, was an important exception. His style was Expressionist, but it also contained elements or British Neo-romanticism. Souza combined elements from different places, times, and schools of influences to make a signature style unique to him. His art was also famous for being highly erotic. He often painted nudes and scenes depicting sexual encounters. In addition to his famous erotic art, he also painted many churches, boats, figures, cityscapes, and portraits. Souza was a master at using color to convey a particular mood and is well known for his painting’s emotional qualities. F.N. Souza passed away in 2002. Today, he is still remembered as one of the most historically important artists of all time. By the time of his death, he was the bestselling Indian artist of all time at auction, with many paintings bringing more than $1 million. Souza has made a profound influence on the global art scene. While his art is appreciated and celebrate for its beauty, his largest historical contribution was the way in which he broke down barriers for the Non-Western art world. He paved the way for not only future Indian artists, but future artists from around the world. While the modern art movement of the twentieth century was dominated by European and American artists with minimal diversity, the post-twentieth century contemporary art scene embraces global diversity. Many art critics believe the diversity of the contemporary art era would not have been possible without Souza’s tremendous ability to broaden the international scope of the art world.

NAXOS-CREATURES -

THE NAXOS-HALLS IN FRANKFURT AS CREATIVE FREE SPACES

1. NAXOS-CREATURES

A world quite of one's own with very special creatures opened up behind the walls of the former Naxos-Union factory buildings. Whoever was appropriately open, met queer Rabbits, the smiling City Ghosts or Alice, who designed fanciful a Wonderland of her own design. In other areas were some surreal letters, which developed an independent existence, and moonstars°*, which danced in shopping trolleys, or strange, apparently disembodied faces, which were visible in the light of a flashlight for a brief moment, to then disappear again in the darkness of the rooms. All these creatures of the decayed Naxos halls were seeking reality niches in which they could exist, and they have been successful for years.

2. THE HISTORY OF THE NAXOS-UNION

The polarities of a capitalist economic system were reflected sustainably in the history of the Naxos-Union. The Naxos Union managed the ascent among a worldwide market leader. Later, however, due to the changing production conditions, it broke into pieces. The company based in Frankfurt am Main in Germany secured the rights for the mining of a special emery rock on the Greek island of Naxos and started around 1880 with the for decades extremely profitable production of grinding machines.

Only in the eighties of the last century the enterprise rapidly lost importance. Changes have occurred repeatedly in the ownership of the company, and the original production centers in Frankfurt were abandoned. The Naxos-Union experienced the darkest chapter of its history during the period of fascist reign of terror in the "Third Reich", when the forced laborers provided the work to maintain the operation.

3. THE NAXOS BUILDINGS

After the decline of the enterprise, the former area of the Naxos-Union in the avenue Wittelsbacher in Frankfurt divided itself into three areas. A former big administrative building and the former production hall lying in the middle area were redeveloped in several stages. Today it's used by agencies, theatrical projects and art projects. As a monument of the industrial culture, the middle hall, in the meantime, is protected due to her architectural and historical meaning.

The third complex of the buildings with several halls and another administrative edifice stood widely empty about many years away and went increasingly to ruin. Despite bans and sealing offs, it developed at the same time as a open space for numerous artists who crafted the rooms creatively and fulfilled them over and over with new life. After the city of Frankfurt had rented parts of the area for a completely excessive price over years, the whole property was purchased in 2006. Meanwhile, the empty halls were torn off completely. In the near future different residential projects shall find there a place.

4. NAXOS AS A CREATIVE FREE SPACE

The art of the urban metropolises can hardly be found in the conventional galleries and museums. It only becomes visible and understandable if one breaks free of the bourgeois art concept and instead goes onto the streets. Whole districts have turned out as museums of an urban underground culture and found a creative expression in the various formations of streetart within the last decades.

Nevertheless, if it's only about the penetrating marking of ones own signature or a scratching onto a wall, it gets caught in a dead end of egocentric and destructive behaviour. Instead streetart unfolds its constructive potential as a reclaiming of public areas, when critical impulses are given and positive energies are released. In this meaning the significance of the Naxos-Halls changed at times. They turned into a creative free space and a museum of the underground, animated by all those Naxos-Creatures.

NAXOS-GESTALTEN -

KREATIVE FREIRÄUME IN DEN NAXOS-HALLEN IN FRANKFURT *

1. NAXOS-GESTALTEN

Hinter den Mauern der ehemaligen Naxos-Fabrikhallen eröffnete sich eine ganz eigene Welt. Wer entsprechend offen war, der traf queere Rabbits, die lächelnden City-Ghosts oder eine Alice, die fantasievoll ihr Wunderland gestaltete. In anderen Bereichen waren es surreale Buchstaben, die ein Eigenleben entwickelten, und Mondsterne°*, die in Einkaufswagen tanzten, oder auch seltsame, scheinbar körperlose Gesichter, die für einen kurzen Moment im Licht einer Taschenlampe sichtbar waren, um dann wieder im Dunkel der Räume zu verschwinden. All diese Gestalten der zerfallenen Naxos-Hallen waren auf der Suche nach Wirklichkeitsnischen, in denen sie existieren konnten - und sie waren fündig geworden.

2. DIE GESCHICHTE DER NAXOS-UNION

In der Geschichte der Naxos-Union spiegelten sich nachhaltig die Polaritäten eines kapitalistischen Wirtschaftssystems. Der Naxos-Union gelang der Aufstieg zu einem weltweit führenden Unternehmen, das später jedoch an veränderten Produktionsbedingungen zerbrach. Die in Frankfurt am Main beheimatete Firma sicherte sich die Rechte für den Abbau eines besonderen Schmirgelgesteins auf der griechischen Insel Naxos und begann um 1880 mit der über Jahrzehnte hinweg äußerst profitablen Produktion von Schleifmaschinen. Erst in den achtziger Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts verlor das Unternehmen rapide an Bedeutung. Die Besitzverhältnisse wandelten sich mehrfach und die ursprünglichen Produktionsstätten in Frankfurt wurden aufgegeben. Ihre dunkelste Zeit erlebte die Naxos-Union im Zuge der faschistischen Terrorherrschaft, als der Betrieb vor allem durch den Einsatz von ZwangsarbeiterInnen aufrecht erhalten wurde.

3. DIE NAXOS-GEBÄUDE

Das ehemalige Gelände der Naxos-Union an der Wittelsbacherallee in Frankfurt unterteilte sich nach dem Niedergang des Unternehmens in drei Bereiche. Ein ehemaliges großes Verwaltungsgebäude und die im mittleren Bereich liegende ehemalige Produktionshalle wurden in mehreren Etappen saniert und werden von Agenturen bzw. Theater- und Kunstprojekten genutzt. Die mittlere Halle ist inzwischen auf Grund ihrer architektonischen bzw. historischen Bedeutung als ein Denkmal der Industriekultur geschützt. Der dritte Gebäudekomplex mit mehreren Hallen und einem weiteren Verwaltungsgebäude stand über viele Jahre hinweg weitgehend leer und verfiel zunehmend. Gleichzeitig entwickelte er sich trotz Verbote und Absperrungen als ein Freiraum für zahlreiche KünstlerInnen, welche die Räumlichkeiten kreativ gestalteten und immer wieder mit neuem Leben erfüllten. Nachdem die Stadt Frankfurt Teile des Geländes zu einem völlig überhöhten Preis über Jahre hinweg gemietet hatte, erwarb sie 2006 das gesamte Grundstück. Inzwischen wurden die leer stehenden Hallen vollständig abgerissen. Zukünftig sollen dort verschiedene Wohnprojekte einen Platz finden.

4. NAXOS ALS KREATIVER FREIRAUM

Die Kunst der Metropolen findet sich kaum in den herkömmlichen Galerien und Museen. Sie wird erst dann wirklich sichtbar und verständlich, wenn man sich vom bürgerlichen Kunstbegriff löst und auf die Straßen begibt. Ganze Stadtteile sind zu Museen einer urbanen Kultur des Undergrounds geworden, die in den letzten Jahrzehnten in den vielfältigen Ausformungen der Streetart einen kreativen Ausdruck gefunden hat. Allerdings bleibt sie überall dort, wo es nur um die penetrante Markierung mit dem eigenen Namenzug oder ein Bekritzeln freier Flächen geht, in egozentrischen und destruktiven Sackgassen verfangen. Ihr konstruktives Potential entfaltet die Streetart als Wiederaneignung öffentlichen Raumes stattdessen überall dort, wo sie kritische Impulse gibt und positive Energien freisetzt. In diesem Sinne veränderte sich zeitweise die Bedeutung der Naxos-Hallen und sie wurden als kreativer Freiraum zu einem Museum des Untergrunds, das die Naxos-Gestalten mit Leben erfüllten.

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.

Nicknames: Able Dog; Sandy; Spad; Hobo; Firefly; Zorro; The Big Gun; Old Faithful; Old Miscellaneous; Fat Face (AD-5 version); Guppy (AD-5W version); Q-Bird (AD-1Q/AD-5Q versions); Flying Dumptruck (A-1E); Crazy Water Buffalo (South Vietnamese nickname).

26e numéro de la série "Dans le secret de..."

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 !

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mayorella viridis es una ameba y aunque no lleva el nombre de las amebas verdaderas, Amoeba, es tan auténtica como ellas, de las que se diferencia por sus pies -pseudópodos- triangulares que forman un borde hialino cuando Mayorella se mueve ▷.

Mayorella se reparte en todas las direcciones, como los dedos de una mano extendida y es tan parecida a otro género hermano, Dactylamoeba, que únicamente se puede distinguir de él aumentándola decenas de miles de veces para observar su superficie con detalle y esto sólo se puede conseguir con un microscopio electrónico.

Hoy no nos hará falta recurrir a más aumentos, Mayorella , lleva una marca de color, que le da el nombre. Sus lunares verdes corresponden a zooclorelas. Mayorella viridis ayuda a estas algas y ellas le devuelven el favor, es una relación de simbiosis la que de nuevo hace la vida más fácil a estos dos seres, a las algas verdes que viven protegidas en el cuerpo transparente de esta ameba y a ella que ya no tendrá que ocuparse tanto de la búsqueda de su alimento, buena parte del que fabriquen sus huéspedes, azúcares y alguna proteína, serán parte del pago de este contrato de conveniencia.

Otra mancha de color rojizo se mezcla con los lunares verdes, probablente se trate del alga acorazada, Trachelomonas, a la que Mayorella ha engullido de un bocado.

Mayorella viridis vive en las aguas dulces lagunas y turberas repartida por todo el Planeta. La que mostramos aquí, encontrada hoy mismo, procede de una laguna, la Laguna Media, situada en las inmediaciones de Pumarejo de Tera, al norte de la provincia de Zamora y ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

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

According to Wikipedia, the Clouded Leopard is a cat found from the Himalayan foothills through mainland Southeast Asia into China, and has been classified as vulnerable since 2008 by IUCN. Its total population size is suspected to be fewer than 10,000 mature individuals, with a decreasing population trend, and no single population numbering more than 1,000 adults. The clouded leopard is considered to form an evolutionary link between the big cats and the small cats. The Sunda Clouded Leopard found on Sumatra and Borneo is genetically distinct and has been considered a separate species since 2006. Both species are the smallest of the big cats, and are not closely related to the leopard. Clouded Leopards weigh between 25 and 51 lbs (11.5 - 23 kg). Females vary in head-to-base-of-tail length from 27 to 37 inches (69 - 94cm), with a tail 24 to 32 inches (61 - 81cm) long. Males are larger at 32 to 43 inches (81 - 109cm) with a tail 29 to 36 inches (74 - 91cm) long. Their shoulder height varies from 20 to 22 inches (51 - 56cm). They have exceptionally long, piercing canine teeth, the upper being about three times as long as the basal width of the socket. The upper pair of canines may measure 1.6 inches (4cm) or longer. They are often referred to as a “modern-day saber tooth” because they have the largest canines in proportion to their body size, matching the tiger in the length of their canines.
