Espero y deseo que estas nubes negras que rodean la torre de este emblemático edificio del centro de Málaga, como las que descargan agua ahora sobre la ciudad sean las únicas que veamos hasta después de Semana Santa.. bueno hasta el Sábado puede llover todo lo que quiera y que durante la semana que viene no caiga ni una gota, aunque unas nubes blancas y suaves como algodón de azúcar no están mal para los fondo de las miles y miles de fotos que se harán en esa maravillosa semana...
Feliz Martes de Nubes!!!
Gracias a Todos...
I wait for and desire that these black clouds that surround the tower by this emblematic building of the center of Malaga, like that they now unload water over the city are the unique ones which we see until after Easter....good until Saturday everything can rain what wants and that during the week that comes a drop does not fall nor, although white and smooth clouds like sugar cotton are not bad for the thousand and thousand bottom of photos that will become in that wonderful week…
Happy Tuesday of Clouds!
Thanks to All…
This weekend, there was a house in our city, (about five minutes walking distance), that was having an open house yard sell.
Their house was built in 1904. (My house was built in 1890.) I'm in LOVE with old, antique, vintage stuff. From houses, to clothing, to CAMERAS, to LIFESTYLES.
These people knew exactly how to live in that completely vintage, old-fashioned way. Their home wasn't ever air conditioned. And they've been living there since 1988. Well, little did I know, but the man living there is a WIDELY known photographer.
www.garygruby.com/ <--His website!
He does AMAZING things with his many cameras. He is selling SEVERAL vintage cameras, including some SUPER awesome collapsible Polaroid cameras. He was a very inspiring and very talented older man, and just speaking to him was such a pleasure. :]
I hope all of you get to have experiences like I had.
Math test Thursday. So I'll be studying hardcore. :[ Pray for me! I'm so nervous :[
ANYWAYS, on to five random things you may or may not know about me. (I've been tagged so many times for so many things, I can't even count. I tag everyone by the way ;])
1. My dreams are almost ALWAYS realistic. It's quite aggravating actually. I'd rather have trippy, yet awesome dreams, rather than waking up wondering if I ACTUALLY met Justin Bieber. :|
2. I'm a good friend. I'm not saying because I'm proud. I'm saying it because I strive to be by my friend's sides. I want them to be happy, to make good decisions, to remember who they are, to go for their goals, to love, to have fun, to explore, and to really be able to trust me as a friend. I'll hold in a secret until the day I die, and I love helping people with their problems, or just being there for them to talk to. I know I can't always hang out with people, but I'm always here if you need to talk. This means all you Flickrists as well!
3. I love SO many different types of music. Back in highschool, I was STRICTLY into heavier music. (Metal, hardcore, screamo, etc.) But lately, I've been digging mostly everything. I love reggae, mainstream, pop-punk, rap, hip hop, indie, techno, rock, classic rock, hardcore, metal. Everything except country mainly. :P
4. My favorite bands/singers lately are!: Katy Perry, The Noisettes, MGMT, B.O.B., Nicki Minaj, Avenged Sevenfold, and Lady Gaga. There are many more I just can't remember. :[
5. I've been drinking ONLY water, (and the occasional coffee) for the past two weeks! And I must say, I've had less acne, and more energy!
Hope you enjoyed, and learned a thing or two about me! Interact with me in the comments! :] What're some bands I should check out?

Going to ruhi book 7 tonight,again, so excited. i love those people and our decussions. Oh and fyi just because i like eating all healthy and stuff doesn't mean i tell others how to eat, and i do eat balanced and moderation so i will go out to eat at restaurants and i don't make a big fuss about processed foods i just don't want to eat them. I don't like how they make my body feel. My body must love me because whenever i eat fast food it rejects it seconds after i eat it (i mean i haven't in a while because i hate it but the last time i had no other choice that happened). my body loves me haha. I guess because i eat soooo good now that when i put one bad thing in me,even once, my stomach freaks out and i get sooo nauses haha. but yeah i crazy. i like eating healthy. and i freaking love fruit and veggies, and bread and fooooooddd haha. This apple was sooo juicy mmm.none of these pictures were edited. latley i haven't edited any of my pictures i just uploaded them,resize them and post them here. i think only some of my pictures are edited, and when i say edited i mean different coloring because the lighting might be off, or the picture could be to dark or what not. Overall my pictures are all natural. that's how i like them. i miss jonel's family so much. That may sound funny but i do. I feel apart of his family ever since kentucky and we all got beyond close. More then when i was in fl. I just love them so much. They are all so loving and silly and down to earth as well as laid back. I just ahh love them. I can't wait until the summer i'm going to spend a week with jonel and his family. I've been feeling so tranquil today, not that i'm not calm but today has just been extra great and stuff. i haven't done yoga yet either haha. but i will soon i wanted to try doing it at night since i haven't in forever. but yeah done talking.p.s my brother loved the cookies so much he had 4 on the spot hehe my dad had 4 as well. i only had 2. i want to bring some to the ruhi book 7 group. hope there is some left tonight hehe. up was so amazing. i love it, it was so incredible, so real, so cute, so funny, so perfect. pixar did it again. off to do yoga before i eat
p.s.s jonel called me while i was doing yoga and we got to talk for 50ish mintues. it was incredible talking to him. Talking to him made me feel unempty. i finally don't feel empty anymore. Hearing that laugh, his crazyness, everything. I was filled with so much joy.

Marble statue of a naked Aphrodite crouching at her bath.
In the fourth century BC the sculptor Praxiteles created a life-size naked statue of Aphrodite (Venus). It was placed in a shrine in her temple at Knidos in south-western Turkey. It was an important innovation in classical sculpture, and subsequent Hellenistic sculptors created several new types of nude Aphrodite figures, that further emphasized the sexual nature of her cult. This trend perhaps reflected both the rising social status of women and changes in male attitudes towards women: previously only male statues had been naked.
Most of these statues show Aphrodite ineffectually attempting to cover her nakedness with her hands. The action in fact only succeeds in drawing the viewer's eye towards the sexual areas. In this statue the voluptuous Aphrodite crouches down and turns her head sharply to her right, as if surprised by her audience.
The three-dimensionality of the statue is typical of Hellenistic sculpture, as is the hairstyle with its elaborate top-knot. Another figure of Aphrodite in The British Museum (Sc. 1578) could almost be the same figure standing up. Other versions of the crouching Aphrodite are known: some have an additional figure of Eros, the god of love, while others show the goddess kneeling on a water jar to indicate that she is bathing.
This statue is sometimes known as 'Lely's Venus' since it once belonged to the baroque portrait painter Sir Peter Lely (1618-80). It was subsequently acquired by King Charles I (reigned 1625-49).

Chiariello ricerca tra gli strati sottostanti alla realtà immediatamente percebibile mostrandoci un gesto quotidiano, la passeggita, il camminare di un uomo per un breve tratto di spiaggia. Un fugace piano sequenza in cui la vibrante struttura visiva, vede emergere un livello nascosto della realtà visiva.

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

March 7th is Very Much Alive day.
It is a day where we are all going to come together as people, friends, lovers, brothers, and sisters, and we're going to make sure that that we feel alive. Most people live their entire lives feeling empty, alone, scared, and sad. We're here to remind you that you're not.
It's really easy to participate. If you can, write "Very Much Alive" on your arms, hands, legs, stomachs- anywhere you want! You can also wear purple. Don't forget to tell people about us and invite your friends!
We're also going to hold a contest for the people who are attending, post a picture of yourself wearing purple, or with "VMA" or "Very Much Alive" written on yourself and we'll pick the winner for the most creative person to do so.
Always remember that we love you and we want you to know that you're never alone.

Allocated G18-149 to Bristol Aeroplane Company 22 Dec 1953 and was allotted to the Royal Pakistan Air Force as S4404 on 22 Dec 1953. Delivered to Royal Pakistan Air Force during 1954.
S4404 was sold abroad 24 Aug 65 to SAFE and registered as ZK-CLT ‘Merchant Hauler’ on 1 Jun 1965. Delivered to Auckland 24 Aug 1965 and entered service 17 Dec 1965 named 'Merchant Hauler'.
Ownership was transferred to Safe Air Ltd. 31 Oct 1967.
ZK-CLT was one of the Freighters that were fitted out for the passenger capsule flights to Chatham Islands, retaining its fuselage windows for that purpose.
SAFE Air Bristol Freighter ZK-CAM was landing at Woodbourne on 14 Jan 1981 when the right undercarriage collapsed at end of landing roll due to fatigue in the structure. The aircraft was not repaired following this incident and the registration was cancelled on 14 May 1981. The rear fuselage was employed in a rebuild of ZK-CLT. rnzaf.proboards.com/thread/11951?page=2
Withdrawn from service 23 Sep 1986 with 19,022 hours and 18,720 landings.
It was then passed on to the RNZAF Museum and flown to Wigram bearing the unofficial serial NZ5913 on 21 May 1987. The engines were exchanged with the Museum's NZ5903. The proposed swap for a Bolingbroke project did not eventuate and NZ5913 was then flown back to Woodbourne on 25 Jun 1988 for an overhaul at SafeAir prior to being placed back on the civil register as ZK-CLT on 25 Jul 1988.
ZK-CLT was sold to Trans Provincial Airlines Ltd, Prince Rupert, BC, Canada on 25 Jul 1988. It left Auckland for Canada on 7 Oct 1989 and the registration was cancelled (for the second time) 12 Jan 1990. On arrival in Canada the Freighter became C-FTPA with Trans Provincial Airlines from 6 Jul 1990, ownership moving to MRS 4000 Investments Ltd., Vancouver, BC 21 Apr 1994 and Hawkair Aviation Services Ltd., Terrace, BC 1 Aug 1994.
C-FTPA crashed at Bronson Creek 24 Apr 1997, when the starboard undercarriage failed on landing ground looped on landing and the aircraft ran off runway into ditch.
Stripped of useable parts and hulk of fuselage left at Bronson Creek.

Notes: Marty and I played hooky yesterday. The forecast was for sun and 66 degrees (f). For January, that's a pretty rare treat for us. So we packed up our gear and headed to the beach. Or "down the shore" as we like to say in New Jersey. The temps by the ocean were not to meet the expected 60+ temps but nonetheless, it was a spectacular day out. We didn't see a lot of different or new species, sans this one.
Horned Larks have probably been there many times before, but, thanks to a guy we met out on the jetty (Thanks, Todd!) we were pointed in the right direction. I scooted on my rear end, propping my lens on my knees (with bean bag) a good 30 feet to get this shot. High sun and white sand, make for challenging shooting. I chose this image to share because the horns are so predominantly displayed.
About 3/4 the way through the day of shooting I realized I was shooting in JPG mode. Gulp. But alas, as it turned out, no harm done. It ended up making the post work, well... a breeze if you want to know the truth. Can I pull as much out of shadows, etc? No... but for a day out having fun... who cares? I think I may opt to let my camera do the heavy work next time too.
: )
Fun shot from last week... Technically, not the best nor the sharpest but ahh, what the heck. I chose it as my facebook profile pic. Seems like everyone has a FB these days. What does this have to do with Puma? Just the sneakers and jacket. It wasn't planned like that I swear ; )
Any way, same setup as my previous shot with Nadia under the umbrella.
Camera set to tungsten; sb-800 w/ Full CTO gel camera left and Gobod sb-600 camera right.

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

Los asfodelos o gamones (Asphodelus spp.) son un género de plantas vivaces herbáceas, bianuales o perennes, oriundas del sur y centro de Europa; se han difundido hoy por todo el mundo como plantas ornamentales, gracias a sus grandes flores y la facilidad de su cultivo, requiriendo pocos nutrientes, escasa humedad y mucha luz. Son bulbosas, y varias especies producen tubérculos.
En la antigua Grecia, los asfodelos se colocaban en la tumba de los muertos y se empleaban en las ceremonias fúnebres, en la creencia de que facilitaban el tránsito de los difuntos a los Campos Elíseos, que se creía tapizado de éstos.
The asfodelos or gamones (Asphodelus spp.) Is a genus of herbaceous perennial, biennial or perennial, born in the south and centre of Europe, have spread throughout the world today as ornamental plants, thanks to their large blooms and ease of cultivation, requiring low in nutrients, low humidity and plenty of light. They bulbosas, and several species produce tubers.
In ancient Greece, asfodelos placed in the tomb of the dead and were used in funeral ceremonies in the belief that facilitated the transit of the deceased to the Champs Elysees, believed to trim them.

Inspirada na figura da MEDUSA, que é uma das três Górgonas, divindades da mitologia grega, filhas das divindades marinhas Fórcis e Ceto e irmãs das velhas Gréias. Ao contrário de suas irmãs Górgonas, Esteno e Euríale, Medusa era mortal [1].Medusa era portadora de extrema beleza juntamente com suas duas irmãs. Quando estava sentada num campo cercada de flores de Primavera, o deus do Oceano, Poseídon, une-se a ela que gere dois únicos filhos, mas estes só nascem no momento da morte de Medusa. As vidas das três irmãs, vidas debochadas e dissolutas, aborrecia os demais deuses, principalmente a deusa Afrodite. Para castigá-las, Afrodite as transformou em monstros com serpentes em vez dos seus belos cabelos, presas pontiagudas, mãos de bronze, asas de ouro, e seu olhar petrificava quem olhasse diretamente em seus olhos. Temidas pelos homens e pelos deuses, as três habitavam o extremo Ocidente, junto ao país das Hespérides e vizinhas de Nix (a deusa da Noite). A Morte de Medusa [1]. Perseu foi encarregado pelo rei de Sérifo, Polidete, de decepar e lhe dar de presente a cabeça da Medusa para, em sua vez, Polidectes oferecer como prenda a Énomao, rei de Pisa, com fim de desposar a sua filha Hipodâmia. Para isso, o herói Perseu encontrou-se com umas certas ninfas africanas que gentilmente lhe ofereceram objetos mágicos para o ajudarem no combate a Medusa, tais como: um alforge, um par de sandálias aladas, que lhe permitiam elevar-se como uma pena e escapar velozmente dos monstros, um escudo de bronze bem polido cujo reflexo neutralizava o olhar petrificante das irmãs de Medusa e um capacete que, uma vez colocado, o convertia numa figura invisível, possibilitando-o de se aproximar de Medusa sem este ser descoberto. Quando Perseu a decapitou usando uma foice com uma rigidez de diamante e bem afiada, uma oferta do deus Hermes, as grandes figuras mitológicas Pégasso (o cavalo alado) e Crisaor, com a sua espada dourada, nasceram do pescoço de Medusa. Perseu recolheu a cabeça decapitada de Medusa e colocou-a no alforge que as ninfas lhe tinham entregue para manter a cabeça bem tapada de todos os olhares, pois Medusa, mesmo depois de morta, seria ainda capaz de petrificar quem a fitasse nos olhos tal era a dimensão do seu poder. Durante a aventura de Perseu, na missão de entregar a cabeça de Medusa ao rei, teve a oportunidade de fazer da cabeça uma poderosa arma de defesa e transformar em pedra Atlas, o gigante titã, e a inteira corte de Polidectes. Com o rei então convertido a uma estátua de pedra, a cabeça de Medusa foi dedicada à deusa Atena que, por fim, colocou-a no seu escudo como adorno e símbolo apotrópico, que era uma arte comummente usada para afastar tudo o que seria malévolo.

The Soligas are a tribe that inhabits the Biligirirangan and associated hill ranges in Southern Karnataka, India. Their population numbers close to 20000, although the population in and around Biligrirangan Hills is only 2000.
The word 'Soliga' means 'one who has come from within a bamboo'. The Soligas believe that their ancestors originated from the bamboo. The tribal settlement is called Podu. It consists of a group of usually 10 to 50 huts. The huts are made of bamboos and dried grass. The door is a portable bamboo frame and usually 3 feet in height.
The religion of the Soligas is the poetry of their life. They do not find God to be away or alien but feel His presence in the forest, in Nature and in every blade of grass. They revere a big Champak tree (Dodda Sampige in local tongue) in the interior forest.
"The Lord of Dodda Sampige Do protect us! The creeper that hangs over the tree Swings gently as a cradle for Thee."
Traditionally, the Soligas led a seminomadic life and subsisted on small game. Shifting cultivation, coffee and minor forest produce like honey, wild roots, tubes and fruits. Ragi is their staple food.
They are increasingly being brought to the 'main-stream' with an active Government and NGO initiative (such as VGKK). Many have been given lands closer to 'civilization' and most of the forest-dwelling population have been brought together into clusters called Podus. Nowadays their homes are being constructed with brick and with the arrival of DTH Satellite Television in the area, most houses have television sets as well!

American Oystercatcher (Haematopus pallitus) on Island Two (North Thimble) of the CBBT. Not the sharpest picture, but I posted this to put a plug in for the American Oystercatcher Band Database: amoywg.org/banding-re-sighting/
If you report banded Oystercatchers you can learn about their history and travels. For example, Black CF, pictured above, was banded in 2007 on Fisherman's Island and has been reported in a variety of locations around Virginia Beach. Although the bird seems to like to hang out close to home, it took at least one junket to Florida (in 2012).
ancperch.org/amoy/my_amoy_report.php?usfws_band_num=2406-...
Finally, note what appears to be a double pupil in this bird's eye. Per Lindsay Addison, a coastal biologist who works on the Oystercatcher project, this fleck occurs in other Oystercatcher species as well and is more common in females.

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

This image of a typed letter inserted in the roller carriage of a 'Selectric' typewriter (yes they still exist.) in the now abandoned Post Office in the small town of Harmony California. If you are younger than thirty, I may need to explain that a typewriter was a machine used to produce documents on paper. It became 'obsolescent' when it was succeeded by stand alone word processors and computers with printers which currently serve the same purpose ;-) LOL!
Harmony is an unincorporated town located in San Luis Obispo County, California. It lies north of Cayucos and south of Cambria on SR 1, near the junction with SR 46.
The town of Harmony began as a dairy settlement in the late 19th century started by Swiss immigrants living near the Italian border.
Harmony was founded in 1869 around several dairy ranches and a creamery. The operation changed hands repeatedly because of rivalries that led to a killing. In 1907, owners and ranchers agreed to call off their feud and called the town by its present name as a symbol of their truce.
The Harmony Valley Dairy Co-op was founded in 1901, and the town grew, soon hosting a dairy management office, dormitories for employees, a livery stable, blacksmith and later a gas station. Shortly, a school was built and a feed store and post office gave Harmony official status as a community. At its peak, the creamery employed 10 workers, producing high quality dairy products, including butter and cheese that gave Harmony name recognition statewide. The creamery purified butter by cooking it in the traditional Swiss way, clarifying and giving it a golden color; old-world dairymen claimed butter produced by this method never turned rancid. Tourists traveling Hwy 1 often stopped for fresh buttermilk and a famed publisher William Randolph Hearst stopped often in Harmony on his way to his opulent home in San Simeon, 12 miles northwest, as did many of the Hollywood celebrities who were frequent guests of Hearst.
Increased grazing land fees and dairy industry consolidation led to the closure of Harmony's creamery around 1955. The town, which still has a part time post office, lost population until the 1970s when it was rediscovered by California's young counter-culture population, many of whom were looking for a rural lifestyle where they could practice traditional crafts away from the pressures and technology of urban life. Many of the town's historic landmarks, including the main creamery, were restored and reopened as restaurants and shops.
Since the 1970s Harmony has ridden cycles of prosperity and neglect, but has had upscale restaurants, crafts, ceramics and art. More recently, Harmony became a town in name only; a single restaurant remained, but went through several owners before closing in the late 1990s. A small cadre of artisans keep Harmony alive, with retail shops selling art objects, locally hand blown glass and pottery, but the town faces an uncertain future. Helping keep the town alive is Harmony Cellars, a boutique winery and tasting room about 1/4 mile south. The winery opened in 1989 and in 2006 produced about 6,000 cases of Central Coast varietals like Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Harmony consists of one street off of SR 1. To one side is a long abandoned house, a large dumpster, and a former art gallery, with some portable toilets. In front of the house is the "treecar" – an old grey Nissan Z with a tree collapsed upon it. On the other side of the street is a "U" shaped building, with the open area being a small, unfurnished plaza. On the far side of the structure is the Harmony Pottery Shop. On the near side is the post office. In the elongated center of the building is storage for the pottery shop.
The Harmony Pottery Shop sells pottery, T-shirts, and soft drinks. The post office was in operation until April 11, 2008.

~If you are like me, Christmas is fore-most, the most blessed day of all the year... It is also a time that is most painful to the heart. I think about my loved ones waiting in Heaven. I think of those I have loved, those I have helped, those I call my friends and those whom are my family. I think of the heartache caused by those who have left me stranded, those who didn't care to try and those who take without giving. I also thought of how resentful I was to them, of my angry words and thoughts, but as I read these verse's I thought of the many people dealing with the same emotions that I am and who are having a Blue Christmas this year.
Three Christmas wishes is an offering of healing by verse to the emotional pain often felt on Christmas and sometimes throughout the year. In each verse there is a wish that you will listen to them with your heart and be healed of all afflictions by hearing God's words.
Three Christmas Wishes
By Angel Cher
* Depressed
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
Isaiah 43;2
** Angry (Remember that often anger in just a real deep pain and not actually a hatred!!)
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath; for it is written, vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Romans 12:19
*** In Grief
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
1Thessalonians 4:13, 14
The Panagia Eleousa Monastery of Sindi is situated on the west bank of the Xeros river and was built around 1500, restored in the 18th century and renovated between 1994 and 1997 for which renovation it won the Europa Nostra Award in 1997.
The following is an excerpt from the book “Medieval Cyprus: A Guide to the Byzantine and Latin Monuments” by Gwynneth der Parthog published by Moufflon publications, which is highly recommended to anyone interested in this aspect of the history and culture of Cyprus.
“The monastery stands near the river, sheltered by the surrounding hills. Remains of cells and offices occupy three sides of a fairly spacious courtyard, the church itself being on the south side. The church is quite arresting: lofty, well-constructed, a ground-span of 15 by 6 metres and a high octagonal lantern with four lights under a tile covered dome - an astonishing monument to come upon in such a remote place. It has a tall three-sided apse containing a sizeable window under a hooded dripstone. Two of the three doorways have similar hoods: the immense main entrance from the courtyard, and the one at the west end. The smaller south door, now blocked, has a plain rectangular frame with a curiously built double lintel - a mid-18th-century style also found at the Tekke in Larnaka and at Arpera church. The walls are buttressed on the north and south. Inside is a single, lofty aisle, austere and impressive; in the apex of the west wall, a round window. The only ornament is the beautiful screen which divides the nave from the bema, glowing with icons. The screen itself is of plain ungilded walnut and its design of dragons, vines and flowers follows that of the 16th-century original. Part of this earlier screen is now displayed in the Kykko museum. The poor state of the monastic buildings necessitated a certain amount of rebuilding, especially on the east side; while, on the north side, the synod hall, refectory and kitchen have been carefully resored. In the centre of the yard is a deep, stone-lined well.
Sindi was erected on land belonging to a Latin overlord named Gautier de Moine and could well have been occupied first by Latin monks. During the Turkish period, it was put under the protection of Kykko monastery, which sent its own monks down. When the Russian Orthodox monk Barsky visited in 1735, he wrote that only three monks lived, the small amount of land unable to sustain more. He records that the monastery was thriving and possessed two water mills, one on either side of the river, a few fruit trees and land for growing corn.”

Pumpkin Biscotti: www.elise.com/recipes/archives/006111pumpkin_biscotti.php
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups of flour
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
Pinch of ginger
Pinch of cloves
Pinch of salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup of pumpkin purée
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Method
1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift together the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and spices into a large bowl.
2 In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin purée, and vanilla extract. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture. Give it a rough stir to generally incorporate the ingredients, the dough will be crumbly.
3 Flour your hands and a clean kitchen surface and lightly knead the dough. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Form the dough into a large log, roughly about 15-20 inches by 6-7 inches. The loaves should be relatively flat, only about 1/2 inch high. Bake for 22-30 minutes at 350 F, until the center is firm to the touch. (Feel free to also form two smaller logs for cute two-bite biscotti; just cut the baking time to 18-24 minutes.)
4 Let biscotti cool for 15 minutes and then using a serrated knife cut into 1 inch wide pieces. Turn the oven to 300 F and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes. Cool completely.
Biscotti may be still a tad moist and chewy, so if you prefer it crisp let it sit uncovered overnight in a dry space. Serve and enjoy.
Makes approximately 15 cookies.
