This Veritas RS was purchased by the current owner in 2001 from the assets of its deceased owner Björn Övre. Mr. Övre was a collector of Veritas and early BMW cars who has purchased already in the 1950s and 1960s several Veritas cars in Belgium and imported them to Norway. He was indeed well known in Veritas circles and often a most welcomed guest at Veritas meetings at Meßkirch and at the Nürburgring. Sadly his intention to restore 61651 after retiring did not happen due to his untimely death.
After being in the now vendors ownership the car was completely restored by German specialist Georg Thiele and a photographic documentation of the restoration is available in the cars file. This restoration included restoring the original space frame, front and rear axles, wheels, braking system and fitting of new shock absorbers, rebuilt engine with new pistons, polished con rods, new oil and water pumps (by Feierabend) and a 5 - speed gearbox is fitted with the original gearbox supplied. Fresh paint and seats trimmed in the traditional style finish the car.
Today 61651 presents itself in superb race and road ready condition. This car campaigned in many classic races, rallies and classic outings all over Europe within the last 10 years while in the ownership of its current custodian, himself a well known pre - and post war BMW collector and is in mint condition throughout. Needless to say that it is highly collectible, very rare and simply beautiful, certainly not to be missed.
Der Veritas RS # 61651 stammt aus dem Nachlass des norwegischen Sammlers Björn Öwre und wurde in 2001 vom jetzigen Einlieferer vom Nachlass - Verwalter erworben. Öwre besaß seit den 1950/1960er Jahren mehrere Veritas, die er in Belgien erworben und nach Norwegen importiert hatte. Er war den Veritas Freunden seit Jahren bekannt und ein gern gesehener Gast an deren Treffen in Meßkirch und am Nürburgring.
Unter der Leitung von Herrn Georg Thiele und dank vorhandener Pläne wurde 61651 von Grund auf restauriert. Der originale Gitterrohrrahmen wurde auf einer Richtbank vermessen und ausgerichtet. Beide Achsen wurden komplett revidiert, ebenso Räder,Adapter, Bremsen sowie Bremsseile und Leitungen. Der Wagen erhielt neue Stoßdämpfer. Der Motor wurde mit neuen Hochleistungskolben versehen, die Pleuel wurden ausgerichtet und poliert. Öl - und Wasserpumpen lieferte die bekannte Fa. Feierabend. Der Zylinderkopf ( Bristol 100 ) bekam neue Solex 32PJCB - Vergaser ( NOS ). Ein leistungsfähiges Kühlsystem ist ebenso verbaut wie der für den Rennbetrieb vorgeschriebene Ölauffangbehälter. Zur Zeit ist ein VOLVO 5-Gang Getriebe verbaut, jedoch ist das Original - Getriebe vorhanden.
Der Gitterrohrrahmen wurde mit Aluminium Blechen beplankt, teilweise unter Verwendung alter Karosserie - Teile. Die Lackierung ( innen + aussen ) wurde ebenso wie die Sattlerarbeiten in der ,, alten Art ,, ausgeführt. Das Armaturenbrett und die Instrumente wurden nach Vorlagen und Muster neu angefertigt und entsperechen dem Original.
Tank und Batterie wurden aus Sicherheitsgründen - abweichend vom Original - im Heck des Wagens untergebracht. Eine Fotodokumentation ist vorhanden.
i carry your heart with me (carry it in my heart) I am never without it (anywhere i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of the tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart ( i carry it in my heart)

According to Sino Hotel Guide:
The Hall of Abstinence is located near the western entrance of the Temple of Heaven. It is encircled by two walls. The Inner wall is called Brick City, and the outer wall is called the Purple Wall. To further ensure the safety of the emperor, a moat was built to surround the Purple Wall.
A bell tower, two stone pavilions and a beamless hall are the main structures here. The bell tower is in the northeast corner of the Hall of Abstinence. Before each ceremony. bells would be struck when the emperor left for the Circular Altar Mound and would not stop until the emperor arrived, After the ceremony, the bells would be struck again.
Of the two stone pavilions, the right pavilion kept time while the left one has a bronze plate with the word "fasting" engraved on it as a constant reminder to the emperor to observe fasting rules. The beamless hall was one of the most famous buildings in Beijing. A blue-tiled roof atop the hall symbolized that the emperor must always acknowledge the Supremacy of the Heavenly Emperor.
Before each ceremony, emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties held a three-day fast during Spring, Summer and Winter. The emperors spent two days fasting in the Forbidden City and completed the three-day fast in the Hall of Abstinence.
During the three days, the emperor could not drink wine. He could only eat vegetables, but not garlic or onions. The emperor couldn't have any entertainment, nor could he handle any state affairs. Also, he had to be away from women. Naturally, such restrictions could be difficult for any emperor who was accustomed to all these luxuries.

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.

Well, I finally made it back to Richmond Park yesterday, it's only taken me FIVE YEARS!!! Not been there since 2009!!! and I nearly didn't go yesterday either, because of initial bad weather and engineering works on the railway...it was a Sunday I guess, that's power for the course!!!
Anyhoo, I was rewarded with my FIRST ever Fallow deer Rut, which was pretty intense for 5 minutes!!
Hope everybody had a great Weekend..:)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~ This article is about the deer genus. For other uses, see Dama (disambiguation).
Description ~ The male fallow deer is known as a buck, the female is a doe, and the young a fawn. Adult bucks are 140–160 cm (55–63 in) long with a 85–95 cm (33–37 in) shoulder height, and typically 60–100 kg (130–220 lb) in weight; does are 130–150 cm (51–59 in) long with a 75–85 cm (30–33 in) shoulder height, and 30–50 kg (66–110 lb) in weight. The largest bucks may measure 190 cm (75 in) long and weigh 150 kg (330 lb). Fawns are born in spring at about 30 cm (12 in) and weigh around 4.5 kg (9.9 lb). The life span is around 12–16 years.
The species has great variations in the colour of their coats, with four main variants, "common", "menil", melanistic and leucistic – a genuine colour variety, not albinistic. The white is the lightest coloured, almost white; common and menil are darker, and melanistic is very dark, sometimes even black (easily confused with the sika deer).
Common: Chestnut coat with white mottles that are most pronounced in summer with a much darker, unspotted coat in the winter. Light-coloured area around the tail, edged with black. Tail is light with a black stripe.
Menil: Spots more distinct than common in summer and no black around the rump patch or on the tail. In winter, spots still clear on a darker brown coat.
Melanistic (black): All year black shading to greyish-brown. No light-coloured tail patch or spots.
Leucistic (white, but not albino): Fawns cream-coloured, adults become pure white, especially in winter. Dark eyes and nose, no spots.
Most herds consist of the common coat variation, yet it is not rare to see animals of the menil coat variation. The Melanistic variation is rarer and white very much rarer still.
Only bucks have antlers, which are broad and shovel-shaped (palmate) from three years. In the first two years the antler is a single spike. They are gazing animals; their preferred habitat is mixed woodland and open grassland. During the rut bucks will spread out and females move between them, at this time of year fallow deer are relatively ungrouped compared to the rest of the year when they try to stay together in groups of up to 150.
Agile and fast in case of danger, fallow deer can run up to a maximum speed of 30 mph (48 km/h) over short distances (being naturally less muscular than other cervids such as roe deer, they are not as fast). Fallow deer can also make jumps up to 1.75 metres high and up to 5 metres in length.

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!

This is Chris AKA Trick65 ....I met Chris on Saturday at our little mini workshop/meet here at my studio. Chris is a cool cat and hails from the NYC, get him talking quick and he jumps right into that cool NYC accent! Chris is also an AMAZING graphic designer, he showed me some things and is allowing me to pick his brain anytime! He has designed some major campaigns for Disney animated movies such as "Wall-E", "Up", "Flushed Away", etc. He has designed things as well for movies such as "V for Vendetta", "Batman Begins", etc. He is a cool guy and has a love for animals, he has a great personality and I think I captured it very well in this portrait of him.
Enjoy,
Hector
Bit more of a close up of the fort at Port Sultan Qaboos.. (Mutrah part of Muscat in Oman)
From AI -
The forts surrounding Port Sultan Qaboos in Muscat, Oman, primarily Al-Jalali and Al-Mirani, were built by the Portuguese in the late 16th century to defend the strategic harbor. They were constructed following an Ottoman raid on the city, aiming to secure Portuguese rule. Al-Jalali, also known as Ash Sharqiya fort, sits on rocks overlooking the harbor and was formerly used as a prison before being restored into a museum, according to KLM United Kingdom. Mutrah Fort, located in the harbor area, was built by the Portuguese in the 1580s and served as a defensive structure against the Ottoman army.
Here the Mobius Arch is photographed from the southwest looking almost due east. Mt Whitney is behind the camera. The mountain peaks silhouetted against the early morning sky are part of the White Mountain Range east of the Owens Valley and separating that Valley from Death Valley..
The Mobius Arch is so named because of its resemblance to a Mobius or Moebius which is a surface with only one side and only one boundary component. The Möbius strip has the mathematical property of being non-orientable. It can be realized as a ruled surface. It was discovered independently by the German mathematicians August Ferdinand Möbius and Johann Benedict Listing in 1858.

I couldn't do more with the focus :(
walk on your toes
and look wide-eyed into life
believing there will always be
goodnesses to be experienced
beautiful moments to be captured
faithful friends to be discovered.
at times you will feel
as if you are lost in a dream
but reality has a way of
putting your feet back on the ground
and so you must face it once again
the sometimes cold and cluttered reality
seemingly wrapped in meaningless noise
and empty promises
but in essence reality is warm
it is silent, it is simple
in essence, reality is hope

HAPPY EASTER, EVERYONE!
Taking a little break from my Monochrome Series.
If you are one of those who don't fail to check the exif data, you're probably wondering why the high ISO setting. Was taking pictures the night before and completely forgot to adjust the setting when I took this. Well, you win some, you lose some. Besides, I kinda like the grainy quality of this one.

My ride's here.
The Glacier Express is a train route through the Swiss Alps that is a functional and practical part of the national railway system, yet is at the same time targeted to sight-seers. The passenger cars have very large panoramic windows, and skylights running down either edge of the roof to make it easier to take in all the tall views the Alps have to offer. There are a few recorded bits of travel-guide-type narrative that play at certain key points of the ride, and they try to sell you guidebooks and other souvenirs on route.
I was sorely tempted to buy a guidebook---I always want to know exactly where I am at any point in any trip, including on planes---but I had bought a 1:250,000 Hallwag atlas at the Basel SBB to try to follow along the old-fashioned way.
The full length of the Glacier Express route is 151 miles long, and takes over seven hours. I opted to take only the central four-hour chunk, whose beginning and end points were closer to the places I had to begin and end my day. Even so, I had a couple of hours worth of train rides on either end of my Glacier Express ride, so I was signed up to spend 11 or 12 hours on trains on this, my last day in Europe.

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

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.

- Las FOTOHISTORIAS de Sheryl en el Foro de Pullips: Pullip .es
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.

Pistachio Cookie recipe: www.elise.com/recipes/archives/007330pistachio_white_choc...
Ingredients
1 cup of unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of dark brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 tablespoons of milk
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of kosher salt (regular salt will suffice)
1 cup of rolled oats
1 1/2 cups of coarsely chopped pistachios, raw and unsalted
1 1/2 cups of white chocolate chips
Method
1 Preheat the oven to 350 F. Cream the butter and sugars together on high speed for three minutes.
2 Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla and beat for 3 minutes, being sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
3 In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and rolled oats. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture slowly, being sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl once or twice to ensure even mixing.
4 Fold in the pistachios and white chocolate chips. Drop heaping teaspoonfuls onto parchment lined cookie sheets, add an extra pistachio or two on top of each bit of dough for decoration if desired.
5 Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to set up on the cookie sheets before moving to a baking rack to cool completely.
Makes 6 dozen.

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.

El Alto is the sister city of La Paz, right next to it but above, in the altiplano. While La Paz expands downwards along the valley, with the richest population leaving in the lowest parts, El Alto is growing further from it, peopled by poor immigrants from the highlands.

The Hermitage of the Virgen de la Peña (Virgin of the Rock) holds the image of the Virgin de la Peña, the patroness of Mijas. It is set in the rock by the El Compás vantage point. According to legend the image of the Virgin was hidden during five centuries and was found in 1586 by a builder, the father of two shepherd boys who were led to the hiding place by a dove.

La Ermita de la Virgen de la Peña Fue excavada en roca viva por frailes mercedarios en 1548. En su interior alberga la imagen que le da nombre y que es la Patrona de Mijas. En el pueblo se dice que la imagen fue descubierta en 1586 en las murallas del viejo castillo, donde la habían ocultado para impedir que cayese en manos de los moros ocho siglos antes.

Aan de boorden van de Geeuw, de eeuwenoude vaarverbinding tussen IJlst en Sneek staat de unieke houtzaagmolen "de Rat" die nog volop in produktie is. Stammen die liggen te wateren, het geluid van de draaiende wieken, het gestamp van de op en neergaande zaagramen, de geur van versgezaagd hout, hier ervaart u nog het oude houtzagersambacht zoals dat al ruim 3 eeuwen in "De Rat" dagelijks wordt uitgevoerd.
The edges of the yawn, the ancient connection between sailing and Sneek IJlst is unique woodcutting "the Rat" who is still in production. Strains are to water, the sound of the rotating blades, the tramping of the rocking cutting windows, the smell of freshly sawn wood, here you still experience the old sawyer craft as more than 3 centuries in "The Rat" every day.

El principal responsable del proyecto de los telescopios "Magic", Florian Goebel, de 35 años y nacionalidad alemana, falleció el pasado miércoles, sobre las 23:30 horas, tras caer desde unos diez metros de altura, según informaron fuentes de la Guardia Civil y del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC).
Al parecer, la víctima se precipitó al suelo cuando supervisaba las tareas de puesta en marcha del instrumento de observación estelar "Magic-II", situado en el Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, en la isla de La Palma.
Hacia el citado observatorio se desplazó el subdirector del IAC, Carlos Martínez, así como los responsables, por parte de dicha institución científica, del proyecto "Magic".
Según explicó el IAC en un comunicado, Florian Goebel era doctor en Astrofísica e investigador del Max Planck Institut für Physik de Munich, y, en el momento del accidente, se encontraba ultimando los últimos detalles del telescopio.
"Magic-II"
La colaboración "Magic", una de las instituciones usuarias del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, dispone de dos telescopios Cherenkov en el Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos.
El telescopio "Magic-II" tiene previsto triplicar los resultados científicos obtenidos por su predecesor, el "Magic-I", en la investigación de los rayos cósmicos. Asimismo, dicho instrumento está situado a unos 2.200 metros de altitud sobre el nivel del mar.
A tenor de la información divulgada en la jornada de ayer por el IAC, la inauguración de dicho telescopio, prevista para el próximo 19 de septiembre, fue suspendida como consecuencia del trágico suceso.
The Eleanor crosses were 12 originally wooden, but later lavishly decorated stone, monuments, of which three survive intact, in a line down part of the east of England. King Edward I had the crosses erected between 1291 and 1294 in memory of his wife Eleanor of Castile, marking the nightly resting-places along the route taken by her body as it was taken to London. Several artists worked on the crosses, as the "Expense Rolls" of the Crown show, with some of the work being divided between the main figures, sent from London, and the framework, made locally. William of Ireland was apparently the leading sculptor of figures
The Northampton cross is still standing at the edge of Delapré Abbey; the King stayed at nearby Northampton Castle. This cross was begun in 1291 by John of Battle. He worked with William of Ireland to carve the statues: William was paid £3 6s. 8d. per figure.
The cross is octagonal in shape and set upon some steps - the present ones are replacements. It is built in three tiers and originally had a crowning terminal - possibly a cross. It is not known when this became lost. A local anecdote says that it was knocked off by a low flying aircraft from a nearby airfield in WWII.
The Cross is referred to in Daniel Defoe's a "Tour through the whole island of Great Britain", where he reports on the Great Fire of Northampton in 1675, "...a townsman being at Queen's Cross upon a hill on the south side of the town, about two miles (3 km) off, saw the fire at one end of the town then newly begun, and that before he could get to the town it was burning at the remotest end, opposite where he first saw it."
Its bottom tier features open books. These probably included painted inscriptions of her biography and of prayers for her soul to be said by viewers, now lost.

Il viso androgino di Mariel Hemingway (Tracy)
"Togliti quello sguardo sconcio dalla faccia..."
"Non è sconcio... :-)"
Dialogo con Mary (Diane Keaton) nel planetario.
Niente che valga la pena di conoscere può essere compreso dalla mente
Ultima intervista a Woody Allen a Cannes
“Ve lo dico un’altra volta: non c’è felicità nella vita. Questa è sempre stata la mia prospettiva: lo penso sin da quando ero un ragazzo.
Per me la vita è un viaggio da incubo, un’esperienza molto dolorosa e non sono il primo a dirlo. Penso anche a Nietzsche, Freud o Eugene O’Neill che sostenevano la stessa cosa. Il trucco è sapere affrontare la vita mentendo spudoratamente a se stessi. Perché se si finisce col guardarla con occhi obiettivi vi rendereste conto che è intollerabile.
La cosa bella di questa città è che il clima è grigio e le estati sono fredde, il che può essere davvero utile per creare una fotografia unica per il film. Ma me ne starei comodamente nella mia amata New York se potessi trovare i finanziamenti per le mie storie. Girare in Europa costa molto meno, solo per questo continuo a farlo.
Non ci sono attori con cui aspiro tanto a lavorare, be’ mi piacerebbe dirigere Cate Blanchett o Reese Witherspoon ma non ho ancora trovato un ruolo per loro. Dipende sempre dallo script e una volta che ho creato il personaggio penso a chi posso offrirlo. Con quest’ultima pellicola sono stato molto fortunato a trovarli tutti gli attori che volevo. E tutti erano disponibili.
Non recito perché non trovo un ruolo adatto a me. Sono troppo vecchio e molti dei ruoli nei film che ho fatto sono sempre quelli di un romantico che riesce a conquistare la sua donna. Adesso non immaginate la frustrazione che provo quando recito insieme a Scarlett Johansson ed è un uomo più giovane ad averla!
Se potessi invecchiare come Manoel De Oliveira ci metterei subito la firma. Ma la mia posizione sulla morte resta sempre quella: sono profondamente contrario. E in quanto alla vecchiaia non ve la consiglio affatto! Non è che si diventa più saggi, ma è tutto un precipitare di dolore in cui ti ritrovi a vedere e sentire sempre meno e scordarti le cose in fretta.
Datemi retta, meglio essere giovani e riuscire a conquistare la vostra donna."
Pierpaolo Festa, inviato di Film.it al Festival 15/05/2010

Una vecchia foto che ho trovato nel mio archivio.
An old photo i found on my archive.
Een oude foto die ik heb gevonden in mijn archief.
See where this picture was taken. [?]
il "Gymnasium", in origine era la sede della "Schola Regia Botanices", dell' "Herbarium", della Biblioteca e della dimora del Direttore.
The Gymnasium was the original site of the "Schola Regia Botanices," the Herbarium, the Library, the Directors quarters.
White are the far-off plains, and white
The fading forests grow;
The wind dies out along the height,
And denser still the snow,
A gathering weight on roof and tree,
Falls down scarce audibly.
The road before me smooths and fills
Apace, and all about
The fences dwindle, and the hills
Are blotted slowly out;
The naked trees loom spectrally
Into the dim white sky.
The meadows and far-sheeted streams
Lie still without a sound;
Like some soft minister of dreams
The snow-fall hoods me round;
In wood and water, earth and air,
A silence everywhere.
Save when at lonely intervals
Some farmer's sleigh, urged on,
With rustling runners and sharp bells,
Swings by me and is gone;
Or from the empty waste I hear
A sound remote and clear;
The barking of a dog, or call
To cattle, sharply pealed,
Borne echoing from some wayside stall
Or barnyard far afield;
Then all is silent and the snow falls
Settling soft and slow
The evening deepens and the grey
Folds closer earth and sky
The world seems shrouded, far away.
Its noises sleep, and I secret as
Yon buried streams plod dumbly on and dream.
Um dia de neve forte em Hot Springs, EUA. Pentax MX 50mm e filme fuji pro value 200. Janeiro de 2007
A day of strong snow at Hot Springs, VA, USA. Pentax MX 50mm and a pro value 200 fujifilm. January, 2007
I grew up thinking of snow as a luxury you visit.
- John Landis
Finally a photo that I actually took this year, and one I were quite pleased with as well.
About this shot:
As usual we had a lot of snow in Norway this year, and a favourite weekend activity is going snow racing. As a result my body is usually aching and beat up afterwards, but the fun really weighs up for that. This is a shot of Ellen snow racing at high speed :-) A little tight shot but with lots of action nonetheless.
Processing:
I did a white balance correction and a slight hue shift in Lightroom to get the shot a little more blue and wintery. Also i despeckled in Photoshop, added a Pro Contrast-layer with Nik software and a Photo Pop-layer in Topaz Adjust. All with default settings. Finally I removed the dark vignette produced by my tele lens and sharpened in PS before saving as a JPG.

TRAMWAY BUILDING (Teatro Hotel)
1100 14th St.
National Register 1/5/1978, 5DV.140
The 1911 red brick office building and attached streetcar barn served as the headquarters of the city’s public transportation system until its purchase by the City of Denver in 1971. The prolific architectural firm of William E. and Arthur A. Fisher designed the three-part vertical block type structure with its striking white terra cotta accents. The property is associated with the Historic Resources of Downtown Denver Multiple Property Submission.
The Denver Tramway building was built in 1911 and held the city's public transportation system offices and attached street-car barn until 1971. The structure was designed by the firm of Fisher & Fisher and restored in the 1990s and is now home to the upscale Hotel Teatro.
The operation of Denver’s streetcar system impacted the business district in the first half of the twentieth century. Denver architects William E. and Arthur Fisher designed the 1912 Denver City Tramway Company’s corporate headquarters at1100 14th Street.
The Tramway Company, the major public transportation system of early twentieth century Denver, resulted from the consolidation of earlier street railway firms in 1899, and its route influenced the patterns of development of the city. The eight-story Renaissance Revival style red brick building with white terra-cotta trim had an attached three-story streetcar barn.

Douz es la puerta del desierto tunecino, está situada en el extremo contrario a Tozeur del lago salado de Chott El Jerid. Pese a la creciente presencia de todoterrenos y otras máquinas, aquí el rey sigue siendo el dromedario. Hay alrededor de catorce mil en la zona, aunque tan solo doscientos Meharis, reconocibles por su color blanco, su descomunal altura, su carácter soberbio y altivo pero tremendamente fiel a su dueño. Son sin duda los dromedarios más hermosos que existen y los protagonistas de las grandes carreras que se organizan en el desierto del norte de África, incluido el mítico maratón de Douz que se celebra en invierno durante el festival del Sahara o festival del Camello.
El festival, llamado el festival del camello , se inició en 1910, cuando Túnez estaba bajo dominio francés. En 1967 adquirió su identidad moderna de acuerdo a la voluntad de H. Bourguiba , primer presidente de la nueva República de Túnez, para convertirse en el festival más antiguo y más conocido del país. M'hammed Marzougui, dedicó su vida a hacer que la gente tome conciencia y apreciar el modo de vida nómada y las tradiciones, fue el principal responsable de la fundación del festival. Desde entonces, cada año, a finales de diciembre, durante cuatro días, miles de personas, la mayoría de todo Túnez y otros países Maghrebies, acuden a Douz. Después de la ceremonia de apertura, comienzan los principales eventos en el estadio H´naiech situado frente al desierto y rodeado de tiendas beduinas. Los maratones de camellos, las galopadas de caballos árabes montados por atrevidos jinetes, las peleas de dromedarios, la celebración de matrimonios beduinos o el sloughi (caza del conejo con perros del desierto) son las principales atracciones del festival. Por la noche, los grupos de países visitantes interpretan canciones y bailes y concursos de poesía.
