During every Cleveland Indians home game there is a hot dog race. Sugardale Hot Dog mascots run from the left-field wall, all the way down the third base line, around home plate, and cross the finish line at first base.
It's always Ketchup vs. Mustard vs. Onion. Onion is the lone female of the bunch, complete with earrings and a purse.
In this particular photo, she and the other hot dogs (along with Slider) were standing on the visiting team's dugout trying to energize the home crowd.
Taken on April 11, 2009 at Progressive Field. To the best of my memory (aided by a separate photo I took that day), Ms. Onion was the victor in this hot dog race.

Nasty evil stuff, but really cool looking with some great light. Look, photograph, but me no touch.
From Wikipedia:
The plant is covered with brittle yellow spines that break off easily if the plants are handled or disturbed, and the entire plant has been described as having a "primordial" appearance. Devil's Club is very sensitive to human impact and does not reproduce quickly. The plants are slow growing and take many years to reach seed bearing maturity, and predominately exist in dense, moist, old growth conifer forests in the Pacific Northwest.
This species usually grows in moist, dense forest habitats, and is most abundant in old growth conifer forests. It is found from south-central Alaska to western Oregon and eastward to western Alberta and Montana. Disjunct native populations also occur over 1,500 kilometres (930 mi) away in Lake Superior on Isle Royale and Passage Island, Michigan and Porphyry Island and Slate Island, Ontario.
Native Americans used the plant both as food and medicine. The plant was traditionally used by Native Americans to treat adult-onset diabetes and a variety of tumors. Traditionally, it was and is still used to make paints. In vitro studies showed that extracts of Devil's Club inhibit tuberculosis microbes.[3]
Because Devil's club is related to American Ginseng, some think that the plant is an adaptogen ("mind enhancer"). The plant has been harvested for this purpose and marketed widely as "Alaskan ginseng", which may damage populations of Devil's Club and its habitat.
i'll explain the quote first. why is it that, every once in a while, all the guys from my past pop up at the same time? it's not a scattered random thing, it's like they all get together and mark it off on their calendars. RIDICULOUS. And they always say things that are supposed to impress me. Things like "I'm starting three companies soon," or "hobbies? well, i like to save lives and help people." or "i saved my puppy from a fire when i was seventeen." or they'll talk about their extensive jean collections. or they're obsessed with their cars. THESE ARE ALL REAL THINGS. uggggggghhhhh i don't CARE. if you want to impress me, talk to me about the political agenda behind the "go green" campaign. talk to me about the social influence of volcanic eruptions. Talk to me about the origin of the high heel. ANYTHING. I don't care. But I get annoyed when people say things that don't fit into a conversation just to be impressive. *sigh*
anyway! had work today. it was actually a lot of fun. I like earning money, not going to lie. But I like talking with patients, knowing what they're feeling, helping out.
After work, i went through holiday hell, which is the mall closest to my house. looking for dad's birthday present, which ended up a bust. Then i spent several hours making cookies for tonight. They ended up DELICIOUS.
after some more shopping with my family, i got dressed up for the christmas party. WHICH was fun and eventful. I actually talked to boyfriends friends more than i usually do. It was nice, finding a little bit of a place for myself in their RIDICULOUSLY tight knit group. even the girlfriends are close to everyone. My disadvantage? I don't live here. Oh yeah and i don't work with all of them. *sigh* but i'm making my way, and i believe i earned brownie points for sticking around through all the drama of last year.
i'm exhausted, though, after spending time with all of those people. so now? bed. oh yes. it's glorious.
christmas eve tomorrow!

La figura verde de Closterium siempre marca su sonrisa en el agua, sonrisa flotante y abierta la de este grupo de algas de simetría perfecta que son los désmidos y que arropa tanto el brillo de la luna como los colores de las estrellas.
Hay casi tantas especies de Closterium -casi doscientas- como clases de sonrisa y todas ellas con infinitos matices, sonrisas nerviosas, sonrisas amplias, sonrisas rebosantes de franqueza, sonrisas de amor, sonrisas contagiosas, sonrisas de ternura…todo sonrisas.
La sonrisa de Closterium intermedium es una sonrisa equilibrada, ni apagada ni excesiva, se insinúa en un arco suave que remata en dos hoyuelos y está pintada del frescor verde de la vida.
Closterium striolatum es una especie de mediano tamaño, de curvatura suave, con pared celular marcadamente estriada y bordes truncados de manera abrupta. En cada una de las dos mitades y a ambos lados del núcleo se disponen los cloroplastos formados por cerca de una docena de laminillas repartidas radialmente a partir del eje longitudinal. De extremo a extremo unos oscuros lunares de pirenoides -sustancias de reserva- salpican su interior.
Los hoyuelos pálidos de los extremos de Closterium guardan dentro, como en muchos otros désmidos, minúsculos cristales de sulfato cálcico o de bario que brillan agitados en un baile sin fin ¿harán cosquillas a Closterium para que se curve en una sonrisa?
Closterium striolatum es uno de los désmidos más frecuentes en las aguas ácidas, con facilidad puede ser confundido con Closterium inetermedium no tan curvado ni hinchado en la porción central y de dorso algo cóncavo. El de hoy procede de también de un arroyo de aguas limpias y frescas situado en las inmediaciones de Mahíde en las estribaciones de la zamorana Sierra de la Culebra y ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos con la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

Poroiba - Akau - Wigschool - Pruikenschool
The wigmen of the Huli people aren't like Western toupee manufacturers. They are wizards who only work with people who have fine heads of hair.
What a traditional wigman does is use ancient magic to make hair grow faster than normal so it can be cut off and turned into a wig. Evidently, magic - like hair restorer - doesn't work if the hair is long gone.
This singular way of making hairpieces is found in the Tari Valley, 2000m up in the Highlands of PNG, an area just starting to make the transition from the old ways of centuries past to the new ideas which have begun to flow from the outside world.
When I explored the villages and roadside markets around the lodge, most of the men I met were wearing caps, but a good number still went about their daily business dressed in the traditional wigs.
In fact many had not one but two wigs - a plain day wig shaped like an upturned bowl, and an ornate ceremonial wig decorated with bird feathers - possession of which, like ownership of many pigs or having more than one wife, is a sign of wealth and status.
As a result the wigmen are still much in demand. And, this being a place where magic is taken very seriously, they are deeply respected. The sign welcoming visitors to Tari Airport highlights the fact that the area is "Home to the Huli wigman."

The Huli are an indigenous people that live in the Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea. They number over 65,000 and have been living in the area for at least 600 years. They speak Huli, Tok Pisin, and English.
From:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huli_people
We bezoeken de pruikenschool van de Huli in het heel afgelegen en geïsoleerd dorpje Poroiba.
Dit is een 'school' met leerlingen en leraren dus. Eerst moeten de jongens toegelaten worden. De jongens moeten bevestigen dat ze nog geen sex gehad hebben met het andere geslacht. Dan worden ze ingewijd in de rituelen om het haar te laten groeien. Ten vroegste na 9 maand intens 'voeden' van de haren met gezang en hoofd besproeien, kan de leeraar oordelen of het haar klaar is voor een pruik. Dan volgt een eerste knipping. Genoeg haar dan voor een gewone pruik. Een volledige cyclus is 18 maand. De jongens blijven al die maanden ter plaatse en ze moeten maagd blijven. Sommige laten de haren groeien zo dat ze 2 pruiken hebben. Genoeg voor een ceremoniële pruik. Het is een statuussymbool.

Listen Because Of You - Kelly Clarkson
I WILL NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES THAT YOU DID
I WILL NOT LET MYSELF CAUSE MY HEART SO MUCH MISERY
I WILL NOT BREAK THE WAY YOU DID
YOU FELL SO HARD
I´VE LEARNED THE HARD WAY, TO NEVER LET IT GET THAT FAR
BECAUSE OF YOU
I NEVER STRAY TOO FAR FROM THE SIDEWALK
BECAUSE OF YOU
I LEARNED TO PLAY ON THE SAFE SIDE
SO I DON´T GET HURT
BECAUSE OF YOU
I FIND IT HARD TO TRUST
NOT ONLY ME, BUT EVERYONE AROUND ME
BECAUSE OF YOU
I AM AFRAID
I LOSE MY WAY
AND IT´S NOT TOO LONG BEFORE YOU POINT IT OUT
I CANNOT CRY
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT´S WEAKNESS IN YOUR EYES
I´M FORCED TO FAKE A SMILE, A LAUGH
EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE
MY HEART CAN´T POSSIBLY BREAK
WHEN IT WASN´T EVEN WHOLE TO START WITH
BECAUSE OF YOU
I NEVER STRAY TOO FAR FROM THE SIDEWALK

I FIND IT HARD TO TRUST
NOT ONLY ME, BUT EVERYONE AROUND ME
BECAUSE OF YOU
I AM AFRAID
I WATCHED YOU DIE
I HEARD YOU CRY
EVERY NIGHT IN YOUR SLEEP
I WAS SO YOUNG
YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER THAN TO LEAN ON ME
YOU NEVER THOUGHT OF ANYONE ELSE
YOU JUST SAW YOUR PAIN
AND NOW I CRY
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
FOR THE SAME DAMN THING
BECAUSE OF YOU
I NEVER STRAY TOO FAR FROM THE SIDEWALK
BECAUSE OF YOU
I LEARNED TO PLAY ON THE SAFE SIDE
SO I DON´T GET HURT
BECAUSE OF YOU
I TRIED MY HARDEST JUST TO FORGET EVERYTHING
BECAUSE OF YOU
I DON´T KNOW HOW TO LET ANYONE ELSE IN
BECAUSE OF YOU
I´M ASHAMED OF MY LIFE BECAUSE IT´S EMPTY

Se asoman a su balcón desde su funda transparente que es una vaina que además de dar protección al cuerpo de estos ciliados también les da el nombre. Se trata de Vaginicola, ciliado alargado en forma de trompeta , que en su cabeza se abre en corona como una flor.
Los cilios de Vaginicola ruedan en la corona fabricando pequeños remolinos en los que quedan atrapadas pequeñas partículas y algunos organismos diminutos que después este ciliado selecciona para él o para devolverles la libertad en el agua.
A Vaginicola parece que no le gusta vivir solo, por eso, casi siempre se asoma a su balcón en compañía, quizá estos compañeros hablen del tiempo, de la vida, o de los lunares que adornan su interior. Estos pequeños lunares son también amigos y hacen con Vaginicola una simbiosis ejemplar y que con frecuencia se da también con otros protozoos, son así, cientos más dos.
Vaginicola cuida con mimo su colección de lunares verdes que son algas del género Chlorella y estas pequeñas algas verdes en muestra de agradecimiento, corresponden con Vaginicola regalándole las golosinas de los azúcares y proteínas que ellas fabrican, pero estas golosinas no son un capricho, se han vuelto ya imprescindibles y sellan esta relación de amistad.
Vaginicola recuerda mucho a Cothurnia y a Thuricola por su apariencia, pero Vaginicola vive dentro de una funda que se muestra como un vaso, abierto y sin protección, mientras que sus otros compañeros, más precavidos o más frioleros, cierran la entrada de la vaina que los protege con una puerta que se siempre hacia afuera, de este modo ellos pueden salir, pero nadie puede entrar.
Dos amigos, probablemente hermanos, se asoman al balcón y muestran alegres su cuerpo de lunares verdes. No son dos amigos en realidad, son cientos más dos en un incondicional vínculo de amistad y proceden de la balsa de Ajamil en La Rioja de donde procede la muestra que ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia .

Plavic It was believed that Plavic was a French brand of camera bodies as well for the lens and shutters, but this is not exactly true:
As to Sylvain Halgand
"The traces of Plavic are in the catalog of Photo-Plait 1919. The actual name of the manufacturer is Planchon Cellulose Corporation in Lyon. Their production is limited to the cellulose films and maybe printing papers and photographic chemicals.
The problem with Plavic is that this brand has never made cameras.
The cameras named Plavic made by another manufacturer and Plavic completed its offers by including devices to their catalog.
They seem few and have been circulated before or around the 1930.
The shutters in Plavic cameras were named Plavicos but it was made by Gitzo".
I found no information about the manufacturers of the Plavic lenses.
Plavic marked cameras were Pliant 127 and 6x9 folders, Le Plavico 6x9, and Box etc. All of them were the same cameras of other brands.
So, here, this Plavic camera is exactly the same camera as much as in very fine details and lens with Hémax folder plate serie 00. It is clear that this camera was made by Héard & Mallinjod for Plavic.
I couldn't find any information about 9x12 plate camera labelled as Plavic in the internet sources but in McKeown's.
As to McKeown's Cameras 2006: in the Planchon section, p.786
The company was founded by Victor Planchon, Boulogne & Lyon, France.
Hirlemann & Moreau (later Héard & Mallinjod) made a 6x9cm and 9x12cm folding plate cameras in c.1920-28 under the Hemax label. After those dates some Hemax cameras are found under the PLAVIC label (PLAnchon VICtor). Victor Planchon collaborated with the Lumiere brothers in fabricating the first films for the Cinematographe in Boulogne-sur-mer and later in Lyon. He became director of the Lumiere factory in the Lyon suburb of Feysin where he made and distributed films with Lumiere emulsions under the name Plavic. For some time, he also sold Plavic cameras in 9x12cm, 6x9cm sizes, before these became Lumiere cameras".
Gitzo is a French company, founded in 1917. Its name was derived from the founder's name Arsène Gitzhoven. Gitzo was a name given to an early shutter and later adopted for all products manufactured by the company. Initially Gitzo made camera equipment and precision accessories, especially shutters. After World War II it concentrated on the manufacture of tripods and tripod heads, for which it is renowned today.
Camera importers and manufacturers offered their camera models with a range of shutter and lens combinations. A good example for this are the Héard & Mallinjod Hemax models, which were offered with a range of lenses manufactured by Berthiot, Boyer, Darlot, Hermagis, Itier and Roussel, and for which Gitzo, Vario and Compur shutters were available. as to Camerapedia

UN Women Fiji Multi-Country Office (MCO) was proud to participate in the Pacific Humanitarian Partnership (PHP) Meeting held 2-3 October in Suva, Fiji, which brought together the humanitarian community – including government, UN agencies, civil society organisations, social movements and international and national non-government organisations (INGOs and NGOs) – to share best practices and strengthen localisation of preparedness and response activities.
UN Women Fiji MCO Representative Aleta Miller spoke at the meeting’s opening session. UN Women also facilitated a joint session with Diverse Voices for Action and Equality (DIVA for Equality) to promote the visibility of gender and protection actors in humanitarian response – those who may not always be part of formal humanitarian structures but do vital work in their communities. Experiences were shared by national civil society members from across the Pacific region including FemLINKPacific/Transcend Oceania, Pacific Rainbows Advocacy Network (PRAN), Fiji Disabled Peoples Federation (FDPF), Women United Together Marshall Islands (WUTMI) and DIVA for Equality.

The name 'Clingendael' means 'valley in the dunes'. The original part of the Clingendael building was built between 1643 and 1660 for Philip Doublet, whose family had moved to The Hague from the south of the Netherlands. Several of the Doublets held the office of Treasurer General in the Republic of the Seven United Provinces.
Philip's wife was the sister of the celebrated poet and statesman, Constantijn Huygens, and Philip’s son married one of Huygens’ daughters, Suzanna. The architecture of the original part of Clingendael shares some of the features of the Huygens’s country house in Voorburg, Hofwijck.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Clingendael belonged to the Van Brienens, a prominent family of merchants and bankers. During the period of French rule in the Netherlands, Willem Joseph van Brienen was appointed Mayor of Amsterdam and elevated by Napoleon to 'Baron de l’Empire'.
The last of the Van Brienens in the male line, Arnout, built a racecourse for his guests at Clingendael; it has since been moved to nearby Duindigt. Arnout’s unmarried daughter Marguérite, known as Lady Daisy, laid out Clingendael’s fine Japanese garden.
During the Second World War, the house was occupied by the Nazi Reich’s Commissioner for the Occupied Netherlands, Arthur Seyss-Inquart, and his family.
In 1954, Clingendael became the property of the municipality of The Hague, which it remains today. Since 1983, the Clingendael Institute (the Netherlands Institute of International Relations) has been located in Huys Clingendael.

Collotheca sorprende por su larga corona extensible, lanza las redes de finos filamentos de seda y en vez de hacerlos rodar espera y lo hace protegido por una fina vaina casi invisible que viste su torso y su cola. Se trata de un rotífero que presenta una corona formada por varios lóbulos que pueden ir de 1 a 7 sobre los que se despliegan abanicos de finísimos filamentos. Estos filamentos envían hacia el interior del cono que forman, cualquier organismo que tropieza con ellos para pasar a su boca y ser así masticados y digeridos ▷ .
Pero cualquier roce de cualquier ser inesperado, cualquier sobresalto, hace que este tímido ser se repliegue y esconda su red de filamentos y su corona dentro del cuerpo, para volver a desplegarla cuando siente que el peligro ha pasado ▷ .
Las diferentes especies del género se distinguen por el número de lóbulos de la corona y las características del borde membranoso que los une.
Collotheca vive generalmente asentado sobre los tallos de plantas acuáticas sumergidas y cerca de la orilla despliega sus redes para capturar su alimento que casi siempre está constituido por algas.

According to Wikipedia, the Polar Bear is a carnivorous bear whose native range lies largely within the Arctic Circle, encompassing the Arctic Ocean, its surrounding seas and surrounding land masses. It is a large bear, approximately the same size as the omnivorous Kodiak bear. A boar (adult male) weighs from 770 to 1,540 pounds (350-700kg), while a sow (adult female) is about half that size. Although it is the sister species of the brown bear, it has evolved to occupy a narrower ecological niche, with many body characteristics adapted for cold temperatures, for moving across snow, ice, and open water, and for hunting the seals which make up most of its diet. Although most polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their time at sea. Their scientific name means "maritime bear", and derives from this fact. Polar bears hunt their preferred food of seals from the edge of sea ice, often living off fat reserves when no sea ice is present.

The Madison Range is a mountain range located in the Rocky Mountains of Montana and Idaho. The range was named in honor of future President of the United States, then U.S. Secretary of State James Madison by Meriwether Lewis as the Lewis and Clark Expedition travelled through Montana in 1805. The range extends 80 miles from West Yellowstone, Montana to Bozeman, Montana and is flanked by the Madison River on the west and the Gallatin River to the east. The highest point in the range is Hilgard Peak at 11,316 ft, a remote peak that wasn't climbed until 1948. The Madison Range is the westernmost section of what is collectively referred to as the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Most of the range lies within Beaverhead-Deerlodge and Gallatin National Forests. A small portion of the range has been further protected with the creation of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness. The region has grizzly and black bears and at least one pack of wolves. Most other larger mammal species native to the region continue to exist in the range. Not far to the south of Hilgard Peak, lies Quake Lake, which was created after the 1959 Yellowstone earthquake, a 7.5 magnitude earthquake, caused a huge landslide which dammed the Madison River.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madison_Range
Settlement of the Madison Valley followed on the heels of the Gold Rush to Alder Gulch in the mid-1860s. Homesteaders grazed their livestock in the lush meadows of the valley and surrounding mountains, raising beef and mutton to feed the miners.
Today, in addition to meat production, these ranches serve another important ecological role-maintaining pen space and a place for wildlife to prosper.
Thousands of elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, and other smaller animals live, eat, and migrate through the valley. While public lands of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest provide protected habitat in the mountains surrounding the valley, ranch lands of the valley bottom provide essential food, security, and freedom of movement for many animals, particularly in winter.
One of the greatest threats to wildlife is the loss of this critical habitat to human encroachment. As ranches are subdivided, the open space and abundant food supply these area ranches provide are lost.
The locals hope you enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Madison Valley, and trust you will also appreciate the ecological relationship between ranches and wildlife habitat.
I've been tagged by Daifuku Sensei so apparently I must tell you 16 random facts about myself.
1. Help! by The Beatles was No.1 on the day I was born.
2. On 7th February I will have been married for 16 years. That seems so much longer written down than actually living it.
3. I can wiggle my ears.
4. My favourite accident involved me riding a friends Harley Davidson motorbike through a hedge and over a hidden 15 foot drop. I wasn't wearing a helmet but managed to walk away with just a few cuts and bruises. The bike wasn't so lucky.
5. I was 8 years old before I slept in a house for the first time.
6. I stopped smoking a year ago yesterday. I am not a smoking fascist like many ex-smokers. I still think it looks cool and sexy.
7. I play the guitar, very badly.
8. I love chocolate biscuits.
9. My 2nd favourite accident involved me wrecking my brand new car, with less than 100 miles on the clock. This marvellous feat made a appearance in all the national newspapers.
10. Apart from a short spell working in the family business after leaving school, I've been self employed all my working life. The idea of having a boss sends a shiver down my spine.
11. I got myself and my, then new, wife arrested at a football match. I had unknowingly bought stolen tickets from a tout and we were escorted to the police cells inside the stadium. After going through the formalities I managed to persuade the policeman to let us watch the rest of the match from the standing area.
12. On the football theme, I once gave a lift in my car to Sir Bobby Charlton and his wife, Norma. He maybe one of the greatest footballers to play for Manchester United and England and a hero to millions of supporters but he is a bit of a dull conversationalist. Norma is nice though.
13. My Uncle John fought in WW2 and was among the liberators of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. When he told me of the horrors he witnessed he made me promise that I would pass on his story to future generations. I have and will contiue to do so. His main conclusion wasn't that evil men do wicked things, we all know that, but how ordinary, civilized people can allow evil acts to happen in their midst by not caring enough about the lives and fate of their fellow human beings.
14. I played cricket for many years until a rib injury forced me to stop.
15. I once fought with 4 men in a drunken street brawl in Denbigh, North Wales. The lesson I learned was that Denbigh in the 1980's wasn't quite ready for a man wearing make up in public. I think it was my smudged lipstick that really annoyed them.
16. I love skiing. My first skiing holiday was 6 years ago. I had 2 lessons on a plastic ski slope at home, went to the top of a mountain in Switzerland and fell all the way to the bottom. At the end of the week I was bruised and battered but could ski reasonably well. My advice if you want to learn to ski is to have 3 lessons.

www.darckr.com/username.php?username=9099757@N05 --- Turkey, Antalya, Amarok Adventure World, Safari Tour ---- www.vianobilis.com/amarok-adventure-world-7e5 ---- Amarok Adventure World ---- Selge (griechisch Σέλγη) war eine antike Stadt in der kleinasiatischen Landschaft Pisidien beim heutigen Altınkayaköy (früher Zerk) (Türkei). Er lag 56 km nordwestlich von Side auf ca. 1000 m. ü. M. im oberen Tal des Eurymedon (heute: Köprüçay) am westlichen Ende des Taurusgebirges.Der Überlieferung nach soll Selge nach dem Krieg um Troja durch den Seher Kalchas gegründet und durch Griechen aus Sparta besiedelt worden sein. Auf Münzen ist der Ort seit dem 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. nachweisbar. Wirtschaftliche Grundlage war der Anbau von Wein und Oliven auf der umgebenden fruchtbaren Hochebene. Politisch bestanden zu Aspendos gute Beziehungen, ansonsten war die Stadt kriegerisch gegen ihre Nachbarn ausgerichtet. Als Alexander der Große durch Kleinasien zog, verbündete sich die Stadt mit ihm, um, allerdings erfolglos, die nahe Stadt Termessos zu belagern. Polybios beschreibt einen Krieg zwischen Selge und Pednelissos 220 v. Chr., in dem Pednellissos Achaios, den Statthalter von Side, zu Hilfe rief. 25 v. Chr. verlor Selge die Selbstständigkeit und wurde in die römische Provinz Galatien eingegliedert. Laut Strabon soll die Stadt zu dieser Zeit etwa 20.000 Einwohner gehabt haben. Seine größte Blüte erreichte Selge zur Zeit des römischen Kaiserreiches. Im Jahr 339 kam es zu einer erfolglosen Belagerung durch die Goten. In byzantinischer Zeit war Selge Bischofssitz. Die Stadt wurde später in seldschukischer Zeit aufgegeben.Es sind die Reste der Stadtmauer, eines Theaters, eines Stadions, der Agora mit Säulenhallen, eines Gymnasions und einer Basilika erhalten. Das Theater wurde im 3. Jahrhundert n. Chr. neu gebaut. Außerhalb der Stadtmauer lagen ein Aquädukt und einige Kammergräber. ---- Selge (in Greek Σελγη) was an important city in Pisidia, on the southern slope of Mount Taurus, modern Antalya Province, Turkey, at the part where the river Eurymedon River (Turkish: Köprüçay)forces its way through the mountains towards the south.
The town was believed to be a Greek colony, for Strabo[1] states that it was founded by Spartans, but adds the somewhat unintelligible remark that previously it had been founded by Calchas. The acropolis of Selge bore the name of Kesbedion.[2] The district in which the town was situated was extremely fertile, producing abundance of oil and wine, but the town itself was difficult of access, being surrounded by precipices and beds of torrents flowing towards the Eurymedon and Cestrus (today Aksu), and requiring bridges to make them passable. In consequence of its excellent laws and political constitution, Selge rose to the rank of the most powerful and populous city of Pisidia, and at one time was able to send an army of 20,000 men into the field. Owing to these circumstances, and the valour of its inhabitants, for which they were regarded as worthy kinsmen of the Spartans, the Selgians were never subject to any foreign power, but remained in the enjoyment of their own freedom and independence. When Alexander the Great passed through Pisidia (333 BC), Selge sent an embassy to him and gained his favour and friendship.[3] At that time they were at war with Termessos.
At the period when Achaeus had made himself master of Western Asia, Selge were at war with Pednelissus, which was besieged by them; and Achaeus, on the invitation of Pednelissus, sent a large force against Selge (218 BC). After a long and vigorous siege, the Selgians, being betrayed and despairing of resisting Achaeus any longer, sent deputies to sue for peace, which was granted to them on the following terms: they agreed to pay immediately 400 talents, to restore the prisoners of Pednelissus, and after a time to pay 300 talents in addition.[4] We now have for a long time no particulars about the history of Selge; in the 5th century AD Zosimus[5] calls it indeed a little town, but it was still strong enough to repel a body of Goths. It is strange that Pliny does not notice Selge, for we know from its coins that it was still a flourishing town in the time of Hadrian; and it is also mentioned in Ptolemy[6] and Hierocles. Independently of wine and oil, the country about Selge was rich in timber, and a variety of trees, among which the storax was much valued from its yielding a strong perfume. Selge was also celebrated for an ointment prepared from the iris root.[7]
The remains of the city consist mainly of parts of the encircling wall and of the acropolis. A few traces have survived of the gymnasium, the stoa, the stadium and the basilica. There are also the outlines of two temples, but the best conserved monument is the theater, restored in the 3rd century AD.
Halfway on the road to Selge from the Pamphylian coastal plain, a well-preserved Roman Bridge crosses the deep Eurymedon valley

The Divine Mercy Shrine in Kraków, Poland is a Roman Catholic basilica dedicated to the Divine Mercy devotion, as the resting place of Saint Faustina Kowalska, canonized on April 30, 2000.
The new basilica was built between 1999–2002, and is located in the District of Łagiewniki at św. Faustyny street. Three Popes have visited the shrine and millions of pilgrims from around the world continue to visit it every year
The site of the building originally housed the neo-Gothic monastery complex of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy (founded in 1862), which was designed by Charles Zaremba and was built between 1889–1891. In 1966, the remains of Sister Faustina were moved to the church. In 1968 Cardinal Karol Wojtyła (later Pope John Paul II) designated the church as a shrine, thanks to the remains of Sister Faustina.
In 1985, Pope John Paul II called Lagiewniki the "capital of the Divine Mercy devotion". Since the beatification of Saint Faustina in 1993, her remains rest on the altar, below the image of Divine Mercy.
In 1999–2002, a modern two-story, ellipsoidal basilica, specifically devoted to the Divine Mercy was built.The building was designed to resemble a boat, and has a 77-meter high observation tower that resembles a mast.
The basilica can accommodate about 5,000 people and the main chapel has about 1,800 seats. The altar in the main sanctuary houses the Divine Mercy painting and relics of Saint Faustina. The image above the main altar was painted by Adolph Hyla in 1944, and replaces the first image Hyla painted in 1943 as a votive offering for surviving during World War II. The image and the basilica are a major pilgrimage site and in 2011 the basilica received around 2 million pilgrims from around the world.
The lower level of the church has a central a chapel dedicated to Saint Faustina, with four side chapels. The upper part of the basilica has free-standing post-modern Chapel of Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. On June 24, 2007, on the 60th anniversary of Operation Vistula, the Basilica opened a Greek Catholic chapel dedicated to reconciliation, and as a gift to the Greek Catholic Church.
In March 1981, while praying at the tomb of St. Faustina at the church, Maureen Digan of Massachusetts reported a healing. Digan had suffered from lymphedema for decades, and had undergone 10 operations, including a leg amputation. Digan reported that while praying at Faustina's tomb she heard a voice saying "ask for my help and I will help you" and her constant pain stopped.
Upon her return to the US, five Boston area physicians stated that she was healed (with no explanation). Digan's healing was declared miraculous by the Vatican in 1992, and paved the way for the beatification of Faustina Kowalska.
On June 17, 1997 Pope John Paul II visited the church to pray at the tomb of Saint Faustina - an event commemorated by a relief at the entrance to the chapel.
In May 2006, Benedict XVI visited the chapel, and a second relief commemorates that. During the 2006 pilgrimage by Pope Benedict XVI, he unveiled a statue of Pope John Paul II at the observation tower at the basilica, as the seventh sculpture of John Paul II in Kraków.
In July 2016, Pope Francis visited the Basilica as part of the Jubilee Year of Mercy and as part of the International World Youth Day celebrations taking place in Kraków.

Spillage of uranium-bearing effluents into the environment at the SOCATRI nuclear facility (Drôme, France)
During the night of 7 to 8 July, for a so far unknown reason, a tank of the Uranium-bearing Effluent Treatment Station (STEU) of the SOCATRI* company flowed over its retention tank. This retention tank being undergoing works was not tight at that time. These effluents, on one hand, percolated in the soil within the SOCATRI facility boundary and on the other hand, flowed to the “Gaffière” river and then to the “Lauzon” river through rain collectors.
SOCATRI initially evaluated the release to about 30 m3 of uranium-bearing solution with a concentration of about 12 grams of natural uranium per litre. A new evaluation performed by the utility lead to lower estimates.
For the sake of precaution, ASN advised the Prefects of the Drôme and Vaucluse départements to take, not awaiting the results of expertises, restriction measures of nautical and fishing practices and use of water for irrigation and drinking purposes.
SOCATRI performed today, July 9th, a removal of the contaminated soil on its site so as to prevent the underground migration of uranium. ASN requested IRSN to confirm the efficacy of such a countermeasure.
The measurements performed by SOCATRI in the water table, in private wells as well as in the neighbouring ponds of the « Trop Long », the «Baltraces » and the « Girardes » do not exhibit an abnormal increase of the uranium concentration from the natural level. Monitoring by SOCATRI of surface waters of the « Gaffière and Lauzon » show a fast decrease of the uranium concentration. The last measured values in these rivers outside the SOCATRI site boundary are of the order of guide value of the World Heath Organisation (WHO) for drinkable waters.
ASN requested the utility to perform measurements in the riverbeds of the Gaffière and the Lauzon so as to detect a possible uranium deposition.
ASN requested IRSN to proceed to independent measurements from those performed by the utility and to determine the best additional means of surveillance of the radioactivity of the water table.
The precautionary measures will be discontinued depending on the results of the ongoing expertises.
ASN will perform an inspection on July 10th, on the SOCATRI site in order to assess, in particular, the precise causes of the event and examine the provisions taken by the licensee.
ASN has provisionally classified this incident at level 1 on the INES scale.
* The SOCATRI facility is involved in support of the nuclear installations of the TRICASTIN site performing in particular maintenance of equipments contaminated by uranium and treatment of uranium-bearing effluents.
Para Jon, un buen amigo cargado de vacíos llenos y llenos por vaciar.
Ánimo, un abrazo.
When you try your best, but you don´t succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can´t sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can´t replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you too in love to let it go
If you never try you´ll never know
Just watch and learn
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Cuando das lo mejor de ti pero no tienes exito
Cuando obtienes lo que quieres pero no lo que necesitas
Cuando te sientes tan cansado pero no puedes dormir
Pegado al revés
Cuando las lagrimas se resbalan por tu cara
Cuando pierdes algo que no puedes reemplazar
Podria ser peor?
Las luces te guiaran a tu hogar
Y encenderan tus huesos

Alto, arriba encima o abajo debajo
Cuando estas demasiado enamorado para dejarlo ir
Si nunca lo intentas nunca sabras
Solo mira y aprende
Las luces te guiaran a tu hogar

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

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

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

If I Were Ever To Paint A Splendid Smile, This Would Be It.
This is a edited (w/ paint effect) pic of a family friend from England. (the Punajabi side:) She has lovely smile, which I've told her a million times. The credit goes to her mother who gave her and her sister the beautiful genes. Lucky them:)
(Just wish she takes the news of my posting to the world wide web with a likewise smile.)
A quote above is a bit corny yet speaks the truth; don't know the author. Feels so appropriate for this picture.
Lately, I've been intrigued by the 'painted effect' and 'played with it'. This is a product of that play. I suppose when one can't paint this would be the next best option:)

Well I have been late posting up my pictures. I went to Alabama now Im in Florida, I got my car back, but my break lights don't work, I am running around looking for a break switch, and all at the same time it feels like the world is closing in on me. I spoke to my friend Eulice today and she shared what was going on in her life.. I have to admit life was never meant to be easy. Her challenges and struggles are nothing compared to mine, When she told me what she is going through, I quickly snapped out of it and realized that I'm not struggling that bad. It's because of friends and people like her that allow me to grow and become stronger not only with faith but with life in general.
I have seen plenty of shower shots, but I had to take this today. Everytime I take a shower, Its a new refreshing, I like to sing in the shower and ponder on what is to come in life...this shot is me pondering...on the How's and When's in life...but Thank God...for another day...

A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety. ~Ansel Adams
The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box. ~Henri Cartier Bresson
I hope you enjoy my attempt at capturing the essence of our passion, somewhat personified. I appreciate the irony in my attempt, yet I understand the duplicity of practising my passion whilst paying homage.
What is photography? I would appreciate your views in the comments I hope will follow.
To me it is exactly this - the enjoyment felt capturing something beautiful.
Photography is beautiful.

Died of terrible injuries received when attempting in her inflammable dress to extinguish the flames which had enveloped her companion.
January 24 1863
According to Wikipedia:
Postman's Park is a small green memorial garden in the City of London. It is located between King Edward Street, Little Britain and Angel Street. It was created in 1880 from the churchyards of St Leonard, Foster Lane and St Botolph-without-Aldersgate together with the graveyard of Christ Church Greyfriars. St Leonard's had been a ruin since the Great Fire and was probably demolished at the time of the creation of the park. St Botolph's is still open and stands at the north east corner of the park. Christ Church was detached from its graveyard and is now a ruin on the other side of King Edward Street.
The park was the idea of the painter George Frederick Watts who wanted to celebrate people who may otherwise have been forgotten. Its name celebrates the postmen who work in the principal London post office and the former sorting office in King Edward Street.
A wall in the park has 34 hand-painted tiles paying tribute to everyday people who sacrificed their lives helping others. The hand-lettered tiles were made by Royal Doulton.
The park features in the film Closer - Natalie Portman's character takes her pseudonym 'Alice Ayres' from one of the painted tiles, as Jude Law's character discovers at the end of the film.
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."

Buchanania lanzan Spreng. and Buchanania cochinchinensis (Lour.) Almeida are found linked because many botanical databases and local floras (especially in India) continue to use Buchanania cochinchinensis as the "accepted" name for the chironji tree (Buchanania lanzan). However, modern global authorities like Plants of the World Online (POWO) treat Buchanania cochinchinensis strictly as a synonym of the Rutaceae tree Glycosmis cochinchinensis, leaving Buchanania lanzan Spreng. as the correct name for the chironji tree.

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!"

We collected 23 pounds of food for the Second Harvest Food Bank of NW PA.
I am back from a wonderful trip to Charlotte, NC where I was able to meet up with a couple of fellow flickrites. I got to sit down to coffee with the beautiful Kim Langdon www.flickr.com/photos/langdonknits/ as well as have lunch with Ed www.flickr.com/photos/isayx3/ and his gorgeous wife Rosalie.
What amazing people really. I ended up not even taking hardly any pics in Charlotte which is rather odd for me.
This is one from Destin, Fl.
Again I have been immersed in music and love The Fray's How to Save a Life.

I wish I had the answers to that question. I have just found out the news that my beautiful cousin has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Brain cancer. So I look for the answers as everyone else does. Why? Why her?

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