The Lotus Temple:
It is a very recent architectural marvel of the Bahai faith, located in Kalkaji, south of Delhi. Shaped like a half opened Lotus flower, this temple is made of marble, cement, dolomite and sand. It is open to all faiths and is an ideal place for meditation and obtaining peace and tranquility. Bahai's Temple is a marvel of modern architecture, which is visible from several spots in south Delhi.
The lotus flower signifies purity and peace, a representation of the Manifestation of God, to the people of India. This ancient symbol has been given a modern and contemporary form in the structure of the Bahai House of Worship drawing into its sanctum sanctorum people from all races, religious backgrounds and culture from around the globe. It represents the Bahai faith, - an independent world religion; divine in origin, all embracing in scope, broad in its outlook, scientific in its method, humanitarian in its principles, and dynamic in the influence.

Une clairière sur la montagne - A clearing on the mountain. This is a clearing in the woods and between two main lakes, Lac Seigneurial and Lac du Moulin, on Mont-Saint-Bruno mountain. I was on a trail that crosses this area before arriving at Lac du Moulin to the right. The road on the left circles Lac Seigneurial to the left to reach about fifteen private lake-side homes. These homes are mostly behind the trees at left and some to the right. See the orange area on the map below with little black squares (houses). PS: I am not sure clearing is the appropriate term for such a large space but it seemed perfect to me. C'est une clairière le bois et entre deux lacs, Lac Seigneurial and Lac du Moulin, sur le Mont-Saint-Bruno. J'étais sur un sentier qui traverse cet endroit avant d'arriver au Lac du Moulin à la droite. La route à gauche fait le tour du Lac Seigneurial à la gauche et rejoint environ une quinzaine de maisons privées au bord du lac. Les maisons sont situées principalement derrière les arbres à gauche et un peu à la droite. Voir la section orange sur la carte avec les petits carrés noirs (maisons). PS: Je ne suis pas certaine que clairière est le terme approprié pour un si grand espace mais il me semblait parfait. Set Parc National du Mont-Saint-Bruno
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past
I found you here, now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I'd do anything for a smile, holding you 'til our time is done
We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real
So, what if I never hold you, yeah, or kiss your lips again?
Woooaaah, so I never want to leave you and the memories of us to see
I beg don't leave me
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real
Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day [x2 then continues in the background]
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home
Seize the Day by Avenged Sevenfold

ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, DENVER. Since 1867, the Zion Baptist Church has provided Christian worship for Denver's black community. It is located at 933 East 24th Avenue in Denver, Colorado. The church began when freed slaves came to join the blacks of the West in the Denver community. "These hardy souls included those that would become the founders and charter members." A group began meeting and chose to organize as the Zion Baptist Church, initially holding meetings at Seventeenth and Market Streets. In the year 1867, the group bought two lots on Arapahoe and Twentieth Streets to build a small house of worship. Under the direction of Rev. R.M. Duling and Rev. J. B. Fields, a new church was built, and the Rocky Mountain News described it as the " finest colored church of the West" in a January 1885 edition. In 1911, the present day edifice was purchased from the old Calvary Baptist Church for $43,500.00, and the Zion members continued their commitment of spiritual service at the new location. The church was granted a $191,000.00 two-year exterior restoration grant in 1991 by the Colorado Historical Society to replace mortar between the exterior stones, and for additional window coverings. It was the sixth grant to be received by Zion. A new doorway was added to enhance the entry of the Church. Between 1994 and 1999, over $431,000.00 grant dollars were received from the Colorado Historical Society. Cleanliness, preservation and restoration of Zion Baptist Church have been achieved by the grounds committee and help from the Historical Society. This has lead to an increased membership, and less vandalism to the Church. In 1999, funds were used for restoration of stained glass windows, roof and tower repairs, and door replacements. The Church is a beautiful structure of stone. Current members of Zion look to their founders with gratitude, and appreciate those first pioneers that traveled so far through the Western Kansas Territory. The Church community of Zion Baptist Church continues to practice their ministry through their many programs, activities, services and worship that take place throughout the year. These include the health education and service ministry, the Christian education ministry, and Bible ministry.

Inclued graph for TGIFramework (Tagged) displaying a hello world template after the second load (the first load fills APC user cache).
Note that inclued looks a little funnier than normal because
1) Inclued has trouble fitting prepend scripts into hierarchy. For some reason it thinks the page page is config.php which is completely bypassed on the second load (the actual page is hello.php).
2) Inclued loses the actual parent when dynamically included stuff is __autoloaded()
3) This isn't exactly Tagged.
Diferences I’ve noticed
1) Tagged doesn't use an auto prepend script (it requires manual prepending),
2) Tagged includes the session_start code on every page that this doesn't
3) Tagged includes diagnostics that this doesn't (yet)
4) Tagged includes UDP based page and event logging that this doesn't
5) An event gets thrown on page creation that will trigger the output caching listeners (not yet ported).
All are mostly related to backward compatibility or portability issues.
Still even with the session_start making a remote call to memcache on every request, I still noticed that siegeing Tagged's hello world outperforms CodeIgniter (one of the faster frameworks out there). Why?
1) The load-on-demand design is optimized for this task (the less it does, the less framework is needed)
2) Tagged is designed around portability but not independence, certain optimizations and features are assumed to exist and the codebase takes advantage of them
3) Tagged engineers all know PHP, so a larger templating abstraction is unnecessary (we're using Savant3, probably don't even need that).
4) Performance is a primary consideration for Tagged since the site activity is so busy (the API layer alone needs to handle 5000 transactions a second). This minimal abstraction is most performant for minimal code via iteration.
5) Output caching is unnecessary for dynamically generated static content. In that event, things are created into the web hierarchy and headers are sent to allow edge caching of this content. (This is not tested with that assumption, but the point is a lot of extra code doesn't need to get written in a lot of places because operational design solve that.)
6) To call this a framework is generous. :-)
In any case, compare with other frameworks (note not all these are graphs of hello world, some seem to be graphs of the default page or a typical installation…weird). The default graph for comparison.
A few weeks ago, Smokey came by to take me to lunch for my birthday and to take a few pictures and say goodbye. He's been a part of my life since I was 7 or 8 and I feel I owe much of who I am, to him. When I was growing up, he was the boyfriend who, in the words of my mother, "came over and never left". But he was more than that. For 6 or 7 formative years, Smokey was the father I never had. And, when I grew to a point where I didn't need that, he gracefully transitioned into being my friend. To this day, we talk, laugh and enjoy each other's company with an ease that I've too long taken for granted.
Smokey lives by his own rules and always has. On one hand, this has meant never having to compromise his values for a paycheck. On the other hand, he lives beneath the poverty line and can barely make ends meet. As I write this, I hear a memory of Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof saying "I realize, of course, it is no shame to be poor. But it is no great honor, either!" I think that quote says it all because Smokey is one of the most proud people I have ever met. Poverty is something he endures but it doesn't define his sense of worth or self esteem. Articulate, anachronistic, compassionate and intelligent, Smokey taught me early on that money is not the same thing as virtue. People with money are not "good people" any more than people without are "bad people".
But Smokey, anachronistic and poor as he is, lives, as we all do, in a "punish the victim" society. Marin County, like most places in the world, isn't run by people who are looking out for the "little guy", it's run by the rich, for the rich. And now, because Marin has finally become too expensive to live in, Smokey is leaving for a part of the world where he can live on his meager retirement with more than a hole in a wall to call his own.
I'm proud of him for finding a way to survive and take care of himself in his later years. But it saddens me to see him leave. In many ways, Smokey embodies the Marin County that I grew up in. Before the rock stars, movie stars, LucasFilm and all the developers, Marin was a funky little oasis. Now it's a place where you're either a millionaire or you work for one. And those of us who are not millionaires are having a harder and harder time staying here.
I wonder what will happen when all of us "little guys" are gone? Who will make the espresso drinks?

♫♪Sta Limania♫♪, de Natasa Theodoridou, de la BSO de la película "Un toque de canela".
Rescato estas fotos porque ya no sé cuando volveré a tener tiempo para probar a hacerlas de nuevo y como lo que reflejan me gusta tanto, prefiero pasar por encima de calidades técnicas y perfeccionismos varios.
El lugar resulta curioso: es el casino del pueblo en el que vivo desde que nací. No es un casino de los de mesas de tapete verde y señores adinerados, no. Es una asociación cultural, por llamarlo de alguna forma. No sé los años que tendrá, pero seguro que pasa de un siglo, por la zona en la que se encuentra y por la construcción en sí. Es un amplio local -puede que, de lejos, el bar más grande de la población- en el que sólo se reúnen hombres a jugar la partida de cartas o la de dominó. Las únicas mujeres que se ven son las dos trabajadoras que gestionan la cafetería, integrada en el enorme salón en el que hay una mesa de billar, un rincón dedicado a la lectura de la prensa y el resto, a mesas para juegos varios.
El acceso a los que no están asociados es libre, pero, por ejemplo, los periódicos están reservados y los partidos de fútbol retransmitidos por la televisión, también.
Da a dos calles y tiene enormes ventanales. La única planta de la construcción se levanta un poco del nivel de la calle por lo que los habituales del casino están en un escaparate permanente. De ahí que a mí la situación del rincón de lectura me resulte tan atrayente: la misma gente, día tras día, leyendo el periódico a diferentes horas. Casi todos mayores; los más, bastante mayores. Una rutina que forma parte de mi vida, sobre todo, desde que tengo a Zas y he de salir a diario a pasearlo.
El local es la sede del Círculo Instructivo Musical, esto es, la Banda de Música municipal y desde el salón principal se puede acceder a un frontón de pilota valenciana, en el que se celebra, de cuando en cuando, alguna competición. Hace muchos años -y ahora también, pero mucho menos- era un lugar reservado sólo para hombres, en los que se apostaba de manera habitual. La imagen más representativa de esta "forma de ser" que se extinguirá por el paso del tiempo, cuando desaparezca esta generación de mayores, es la del señor repeinado, con bigote y puro en la mano, endomingado, con presencia de hombre satisfecho.
La dificultad que entrañaban las fotos era hacerlas sin que ellos me vieran, por lo que tuve que utilizar el zoom desde la acera de enfrente y aprovechar, en dos de ellas, la caida de la noche, porque salvo la primera que pude hacerla desde enfrente de la fachada, a unos diez metros de distancia y con la luz a favor, los reflejos de los cristales, en las otras tomas, se comían la escena. De ahí que tengan ruido y no estén bien enfocadas... esconderse detrás de un coche no es una buena manera de atinar a la hora de hacer una fotografía.

Et oui ma pensée du jour :
L'amour est comme une balance, à chacun d'apporter chaque jour ce petit quelque chose qui fera que cette balance restera équilibrée et tiendra le choc, face aux épreuves, face aux doutes...face aux peurs, aux interrogations...face à la routine qui s'installe...face aux chemins qui se séparent et puis se croisent , se font et se défont...
A chacun de regarder devant, et à côté de lui, de voir ce qu'il a, de voir son acqui, de regarder aussi ailleur mais de ne pas oublier ce qu'il a et et ne pas regarder ce qu'il n'a pas...j'avais oublié cette phrase qui pourtant fait parti de ma vie et de mes valeurs...le chemin a été long mais je l'ai retrouvé...j'ai retrouvé mon équilibre...
Penser à soi oui, mais ne pas oublier l'autre...apporter chaque jour sa petite pierre pour construire cet équilibre...
Trouver le juste équilibre pour soi d'abord et pour l'autre ensuite...et si un jour la balance se détraque, se dire qu'elle se reconstruira avec la meme personne ou une autre...mais...l'équilibre parfait n'existe pas...(enfin c'est mon avis hein :-))
Cette pensée du jour est pour tous ceux que j'aime qu'elle vous apporte ce qu'elle doit vous apporter...merci à vous de faire parti de ma balance...et de mon équilibre...

And yes my day thought:
The love is as a balance, in each to bring every day this young something which will make that this balance will remain well-balanced and will hold the shock, in front of tests(events), in front of doubts in front of fears, of the questioning in front of the routine which settles down in front of roads which part and then cross themselves, are made and come undone(crumple)...
In each to look in front of, and next to him, to see what he(it) has, to see his(its) acqui, watch also anywhere but not to forget what he(it) has and and not to look at what he(it) does not have I had forgotten this sentence which nevertheless makes left my life and my values the road was long but I found him(it) I found my balance...
Think of one yes, but not forget the other one, bring every day its small stone to build this balance...
Find the just balance for one at first and for the other one then and if one day the balance breaks down, to say to himself that it will reconstruct with the same nobody or the other one but the perfect balance does not exist (finally it is my opinion(notice) eh:-))
This day thought is for all those that I love that it brings you that she has to bring you thanks to you to make party of my balance and my balance...

Der Blaue Pfau (Pavo cristatus) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Fasanenartigen (Phasianidae). Er gehört somit zur Ordnung der Hühnervögel, wobei der Blaue Pfau neben dem Fasan und dem Haushuhn der bekannteste Vertreter dieser Vogelgruppe ist.
Aufgrund ihres auffälligen Aussehens gelten vor allem die Männchen als die ältesten Ziervögel der Menschen. Bereits in den Sagen der griechischen Antike wurden sie erwähnt. Als standorttreue Vögel werden die ursprünglich in Indien und Sri Lanka beheimateten Tiere heute weltweit auch als Haustiere gehalten.
The Indian Peafowl, Pavo cristatus, also known as the Common Peafowl or the Blue Peafowl, is one of the species of bird in the genus Pavo of the Phasianidae family known as peafowl. The Indian Peafowl is a resident breeder in the Indian subcontinent and has been introduced into many parts of the world and feral populations exist in many introduced regions. The peacock is the national bird of India and is the largest Asian galliform.

Busy day again today ~ gotta split (month end)...
Happy Friday!
Have a great weekend!
Edit 8/30: I realized yesterday that this shot was posted on the day I adopted Traveler 6 years ago from the local humane society (yes, I got lucky). They estimated his age at around 2. Since I don't know his actual birthday, we always "celebrated" his along with Tonka's on 8/20. I was so busy with work, the 20th came and went without me even thinking about it (and I probably subconsciously blocked it out of my mind)... So, now that Tonka's gone, we'll be celebrating Traveler's birthday on the 28th from here on out. Happy 8th birthday, Traveler! (I gave him a special treat yesterday when I realized and Radar & I sang "happy birthday" to him ~ lol....)

In Deutschland sind zurzeit (Stand Januar 2006) 9 Lizenzen zum digitalen zellulären Mobilfunk vergeben, davon je vier für die GSM- und UMTS- Netze der in Deutschland aktiven Mobilfunknetzbetreiber und eine UMTS- Lizenz von Quam. Die zehnte Lizenz der mobilcom AG wurde Ende 2003 an die Bundesnetzagentur zurückgegeben.
Strahlung ?
========
Die Struktur der gepulsten technischen Mobilfunkfrequenzen - vor allem die der geplanten UMTS-Frequenzen - nähert sich immer mehr biologisch wirksamen Frequenzmustern an, so daß "nichtthermische" Effekte, d.h. Resonanzwirkungen am biologischen "Substrat" ohne meßbare Energieübertragung immer wahrscheinlicher werden, wenn sie nicht schon Realität geworden sind. E-Felder, wie z.B. die natürliche elektromagnetische Impulsstrahlung der Atmosphäre (VLF/ELF-Bereich, "Wetterstrahlung") sind zwar Teil des naturgegeben Umweltinventars des Menschen, wie auch die natürliche Radioaktivität, die Evolution hatte im Laufe von 2 Milliarden Jahren aber Gelegenheit, sich ihnen soweit anzupassen, daß, wie im Falle der Wetterfühligkeit, von ihnen allein keine gesundheitlichen Dauerschäden verursacht werden können. Dies zeigt sich z.B. darin, daß die nur bei bestimmten Wetterlagen kurzfristig auftretenden resonanzfähigen Sfericsimpulse nur reversible und keine dauerhaften Veränderungen z.B. in der Raumstruktur von Kollageneiweiß (Gelatine) bewirken.
Der geplanten flächendeckenden und ununterbrochen wirksamen Strahlungsbelastung durch die gepulsten technischen E-Felder des Mobilfunks der neuen Art und bislang noch kaum bekannten biologischen Wirkungspotentials kann hingegen kein Bürger entgehen, auch wenn er sein Händi entsorgt oder sich abseits in den tiefen Wald verzieht.

Moonville was a small mining and railway town that cropped up during the 1800's iron boom and eventually disappeared just a little over 150 years ago.
Like many of Vinton and Hocking County iron boom towns that waned to nothing more than grassy fields over the last century, little is left to show humans ever dwelled here at all. Moonville is no exception- aside from an old well, a few shards of old teacups found in Raccoon Creek once in a while and three well-hidden foundations, nothing more remains.
It has long been said that the tunnel is haunted by a railway brakeman, but few ever hear of the Lavender Lady of Moonville Tunnel. However, many have crossed through the tunnel to the other side, taken the short trail off the old gravel path and caught the scent of stale lavender. Where does this smell come from even in the middle of winter when the snow is nearly knee deep?
Local Stories pertaining to Lavender Lady:
It is said that a woman from Mineral was crossing the train trestle, she was struck and killed by a train. Rumor has it that her ghost still walks the area where her broken body had plunged after being hit from the train-directly where the scent of lavender still lingers in the air.

ENGLISH
The dam of Mediano is located in the municipal term of La Fueva, to which it was gotten up Mediano in 1974, whose nucleus had been flooded by the dam. It is one of the greater ones of Aragón, with 1,714 Has. of surface and a volume of dam of 450 Hm.3. Its prey leans in the limestone wooded hills that form the straits of El Entremont in the Cinca river, at few kilometers of the tail of the dam of El Grado. It is destined fundamentally to water lands of the zone, and secondly to the production of electrical energy.
--------------------------------
CASTELLANO
El embalse de Mediano está situado en el término municipal de La Fueva, al que se incorporó en 1974 Mediano, cuyo núcleo había sido anegado por el embalse. Es uno de los mayores de Aragón, con 1.714 Ha. de superficie y un volumen de embalse de 450 Hm.3. Su presa se apoya en los mogotes calizos que forman el estrecho de El Entremont en el río Cinca, a pocos kilómetros de la cola del embalse de El Grado. Está destinado primordialmente a regar las tierras de la zona, y en segundo lugar a la producción de energía eléctrica.
El municipio de La Fueva procede de la unión entre los antiguos municipios de Tierrantona y Fondecampo, producida en el año 1999. El término de Tierrantona incluía a su vez los antiguos municipios de Clamosa, Moriello de Monclús, Muro de Roda (actualmente Fumo de Muro) y Toledo de Nata (actualmente, San Juan de Toledo). El nombre del municipio procede directamente del valle de la Fueva, en el que se encuentra. Junto con el municipio sobrarbés de Palo, y Foradada del Toscar (perteneciente a la Ribagorza) forma este valle prepirinaico ubicado a los pies de Sarra Ferrera.
Históricamente, La Fueva había sido una comarca geográfica y políticamente independiente tanto del Sobrarbe como de la Ribagorza, con los que lindaba, pero con el despliegue de la moderna comarcalización de Aragón, vio separadas su parte occidental (con Tierrantona como núcleo principal) y su parte oriental (con Foradada del Toscar como capital), perteneciendo la primera administrativamente a la comarca del Sobrarbe, mientras que la segunda queda adscrita a la Ribagorza. No obstante, la vertiente sobrarbesa del valle tiene una mayor superficie, ya que incluye los municipios de Palo y de La Fueva propiamente dicha.
El valle de la Fueva tiene un dialecto característico de la lengua aragonesa, llamado fobán o fobano, que tiene características similares a las del aragonés oriental, y que debido al aislamiento en que vivió el valle hasta fechas relativamente avanzadas del siglo XX (sin demasiados accesos por carretera o comercio con el exterior, en comparación con los valles centrales del Sobrarbe), se ha conservado hasta la actualidad de forma lo bastante singular si se tiene en cuenta la ubicación del valle fuera de las zonas correspondientes al Pirineo más abrupto. Actualmente, aún quedan hablantes testimoniales de esta lengua en lugares y aldeas del municipio, por cuyo motivo está considerado como un municipio potencialmente bilingüe en el anteproyecto de Ley de Lenguas de Aragón.

A kamagong Carlos Trece armchair
Estimate: PHP 15,000 - 17,000
Early 1900s
Laguna
Kamagong wood, cane or solihiya
125 x 50 x 53 cm (49 x 20 x 21 in)
Provenance:
From the heirs of Don Vedasto Cadeliña, former mayor of Lucban, Tayabas (now Quezon province)
The Illustrious Cadeliña – Veluz family of Lucban
Don Vedasto Cadeliña was born in 1873 in Lucban, Tayabas (now Quezon province) to Don Iñigo Cadeliña and Hermogena Villaseñor. He was a pharmacist and served as mayor (gobernadorcillo) of Lucban town for two terms – from 1905 to 1908 and from 1917 to 1922. As mayor, he led the construction of the Apolinario dela Cruz Waterworks System and the concrete Kamatian Bridge. He was married to Pacencia Sanchez and had three children: Vicenta Cadeliña who married Dr. Dominador Veluz; Imelda Cadeliña who died young and did not have family; and Jose H.N. Cadeliña who married Magdalena Saliendra but died at the age of 26 in 1934. During Don Vedasto’s first tenure as mayor, Manuel L. Quezon was governor of Tayabas province from 1906 to 1907. A good friend and confidant of Don Vedasto, Quezon, who would later become President of the Philippine Commonwealth, and his wife Aurora were regular visitors to the Cadeliña house, which was built in the 1880s. In numerous occasions when they needed to spend the night in Lucban on official visits, the couple would always be allocated the master's bedroom to stay in. The same bed, aparador, and armchair that the Quezon couple used have remained in that bedroom until recently.
Don Vedasto was known to be passionately nationalistic and was an advocate of Dr. Jose Rizal to be proclaimed as National Hero by the then new American colonial government - an honor that was eventually granted in 1901 by Governor General William Howard Taft. Indeed, Don Vedasto’s admiration for Rizal was such that his only son born in 1908 was named Jose. Interestingly, underscoring the abiding Rizalian interest of the family, Don Vedasto's cousin, Ysmael Villaseñor, participated in a competition that attracted Filipino and European sculptors to build the monument to Rizal which was to be erected in Manila. His bozeto or scale model was among the 40 finalists, but failed to win the contest. In the end he built a Rizal monument in front of the Lucban municipio which was just a stone’s throw away from Don Vedasto’s house. Many regard this monument as the best Rizal monument anywhere in the world.
Don Vedasto’s erudite interests and love for excellent local craftsmanship and aesthetics, unwavering admiration for Rizal, and inherent mindfulness of the welfare of his family were reflected in the design of the furniture pieces contained in his household. He died in 1934.
Salcedo Auctions proudly offers from the estate of Don Vedasto Cadeliña this selection of four specially commissioned pieces steeped in history and tradition, each with unique design elements while sharing between them such commonalities as materials used and design motifs that collectively complement each other, thus comprising one remarkable collection.
King Charles or Carlos III chairs, named after the Spanish king who reigned in the mid to late 18th century, traditionally have tall vertical backs, carved stiles capped by finials, majestic crest, lions decorating the arms and feet, and upholstered back and seat. The misnomered Carlos XIII or Carlos Trece chairs widely known in the Philippines were inspired by these royal chairs, but reinterpreted in a more restrained Neoclassical style that is more suitable to the local aesthetics and climate.
This armchair, previously in the master bedroom, has a foliated scroll crest centering a sunflower (the same motif found in the bed’s headboard), round stiles with turned rings topped by finials, undulating arms, and round tapering legs with ball and ring turnings, connected by X-stretcher. The seat and double-sided back are woven tightly with cane or solihiya. In well-kept condition, the beautiful grain and marbling effect color of tiger kamagong wood have remained shiny and unadulterated.
Lot 128 of the Salcedo Auctions auction on 3 June 2023. Please see www.salcedoauctions.com for more information.
watching the Celtics kick the Magic's butt in game six and advance to the NBA finals (#wewantLA, #beatLA, #banner18) was more fun w/ twitter running. I make a joke with one of the funniest guys on twitter, @BrilliantOrange, about Bill Russell being more deserving of a statue in front of Boston Garden than Bobby Orr (see here) . . . and legal and political commentator Karen Russell, Bill Russell's daughter, picks it up and RTs (retweets) it, starting a conversation. See above tweetdeck screenshot.
in case you missed the joke, here's the flying bronze Orr statue.

The Daniel Carter Beard Bridge, better known as the 'Big Mac' Bridge due to its golden yellow arches, connects Interstate 71 in downtown Cincinnati to Kentucky. The bridge is named after the founder of the Boy Scouts, who was born and raised nearby. However, many locals, including traffic reporters, ignore the bridge's official name and instead call it "The Big Mac Bridge".
Right-of-way acquisition for the bridge began in January 1968, and construction began on the Ohio River crossing in November 1971. The still-unnamed bridge opened to limited traffic in September 1976. The name of the new bridge was announced on October 5, 1976, the choice being to name the bridge after Daniel Carter Beard, in honor of the founder of the Boy Scouts of America. The Scouts had lobbied hard for the bridge to carry Beard's name, with some paddling down the Ohio and Kentucky rivers to carry petitions to the governor in Frankfort. The Ohio River span and a short section of highway were dedicated on February 14, 1977, with Kentucky Governor John Y. Brown leading the dedication ceremonies.
The bridge is the easternmost of the city's downtown bridge group.

Today we went back to the vet with Baloe.
She is getting worse and if we don't help her, she will choke and die very slowly.
Next wednesday we have an appointment, the vet will come to our house and give Baloe euthanasia.
It is one of the saddest decisions I had to make in my life.
Baloe is with me for 14 and a half years now, the children don't even know how life is without her, they were born later.
My life have been pretty hectic the last 15 years and a lot has happened, but Baloe was always there.
Now I have to say goodbye to her, she has had a good and healthy life, but saying goodbye doesn't hurt any less because of that.

Garden Detail
The Ingham County Arts Commission and the Ingham County Fair partnered in this project which brought together professional and student artists, and community residents to conceive of the images, design and paint the mural. The "Murinal" remained a landmark at the fairgrounds for over a decade but has now been painted out.
South & West Views
The "Murinal" a 1981 community arts project created a mural around the four sides of a bathroom building at the Ingham County Fairgrounds. Known as "the murinal" this community artwork depicted the Mason County rural countryside of farmland and wetlands, the Mason county courthouse, and the fairgrounds.

We varen naar enkele eilanden met schitterende koraalriffen waar we heerlijk kunnen snorkelen ....
Pandan-island, Starfish-Island, Snake-Island ...
We verleiden de visjes met een beetje brood in de handen. Na enige tijd wemelt het rond je armen en benen van een wolk kleurijke visjes die kriebelen in je vingers of die vechten en elkanders stukje brood afpakken .... je vergeet er alles bij .... ook als de boot terug wilt vertrekken en je reisgenoten luid je naam roepen ... r i t a .... r i t a .... je hoort je naam, maar je reageert er niet op, je bent echt in vervoering door zoveel moois!
... een onvergetelijk moment tijdens de reis!

'A Step Back in Time' On Black
Took a great roadtrip last weekend, stopped off at the Salton Sea for a few days (of course!) and then spend a great night up in Pioneertown outside of Yucca Valley. Pioneertown is an old movie set that has been saved and turned in to a nice stop on the road with a few bars, restaurant, and motel.
One of the saved buildings is a bar/bowling alley where movie stars and starlets used to unwind after a long day shooting films. The walls contain murals outlining the history of Pioneertown and it's movie past.
From the Pioneertown website
Pioneertown was built in 1946 as a movie set for western movies, including the movies of Gene Autry, The Cisco Kid, with Duncan Renaldo, Annie Oakley with Gail Davis, Judge Roy Bean with Edgar Buchanan, Range Rider with Jock O. Mahoney, and Buffalo Bill Jr. with Dick Jones. The movie set was to provide a place for the actors to live, and have their homes used as part of a movie set. Some of the original investors in the town were Roy Rogers, who also built the Pioneer Bowl, Sons of the Pioneers, which the town was named after, Dick Curtis who was a professional villian in old movies, Bud Abbott, Russell Hayden, who played Lucky on the Hoppalong Cassidy series, Louella Parsons the Hollywood gossip columnist and Philip N. Krasne: The Man Who Saved Pioneertown.

A visit to the Museo Etrusco on the Via Don Giovanni Minzoni in Volterra. Was a lot of Etruscan and Roman artifacts here. Also a back garden.
The Guarnacci museum is one of oldest public museums of Europe: it began in 1761 when the noble abbot Mario Guarnacci (Volterra 1701-1785) gave its enormous archaeological heritage, collected over years of research and purchases, to the "public of the city of Volterra".
The current disposition and location of materials demonstrate Maffei’s positivistic impact, with items separated by classes and the urns distinguished according to the theme of the bas-relief on the case. While respecting the historic memory of this arrangement, an attempt was made, in recent times, to associate it with another, more didactic, chronological tour inside the exhibition itself, able to conduct the visitor through the long history of the Etruscan Velathri.
The Guarnacci Etruscan Museum is located in via Don Minzoni in Volterra , and contains one of the most beautiful collections of Etruscan art.
In 1776 the canon of the cathedral of Volterra Pietro Franceschini found near the Etruscan necropolis of the Portone a hypogeum of considerable size dating back to the Hellenistic period, containing forty Etruscan urns, which in 1777 donated to the town of Volterra . This donation was the first nucleus of the Civic Museum which soon collected many other works found in the surroundings of Volterra and which until then had been kept in private collections of noblemen from Volterra.
Among the various donations, the most important and most important was that of Monsignor Mario Guarnacci ( 1701 - 1785 ), a wealthy priest who promoted numerous archaeological excavation campaigns, which on 15 September 1761 donated his entire collection to the newborn museum. He was named after the museum that in over two centuries of history has increased its heritage thanks to numerous excavation campaigns promoted by the Superintendency of Antiquities of Etruria.
The first seat of the museum was Palazzo Ruggeri, home of Guarnacci, later it was transferred first to some halls of the town hall and then from 1877 in the Desideri-Tangassi palace, the current headquarters.
The first Prefect and Librarian of the Guarnacci Museum is the Roman abbot Francesco Ballani , well-known librettist of his time, who was succeeded by Giuseppe Cailli in 1805 until his death in 1810 . Francesco Inghirami ( 1772 - 1846 ) occupied this position from 1810 until 1815 .
A look around the garden to the back of the museum. Nice and relaxing out there. Warm in the sunshine, cool sitting down on a bench.

Ecocentro Danaus (<-- video) is located a couple miles east of La Fortuna Costa Rica. It's a fairly small reserve, 600 meters of walking trails, but boy, do they pack a LOT in such a small area. Danaus was created about 13 years ago when some forward thinking people decided it might be better to grow life than cut it down. Danaus is like a mini oasis since it's completely surrounded by pasture and cattle land. Here's what Ecocentro Danaus says about itself: 'Ecocentro Danaus is an ecological reserve that preserves a natural regenerating secondary forest. Many different biological processes take place here and there is a great biodiversity of flora and fauna in its natural state.'Danaus is worth a look if your in the La Fortuna area and you need something to do for a couple hours.

My boyfriend is better than yours :)
So basically, here's my last week:
-Monday: hung out with my biffle Nicole until my boyfriend and I could meet up. He had "errands" to run for his "mom". He shows up at my house with a single, yellow, long-stemmed rose because of our four month anniversary (unnecessary, but adorable). The three of us hang out for about an hour or so until Nicole leaves and Tim (bf) stayed for dinner. When I was standing out by his car, he gave me a rubber duck (I used to collect them) and I thanked him and we talked for awhile but right before he got in his car, he says "Remember, ducks come in flocks".
-Tuesday: I'm freaking out because this giant essay (a quarter of my final grade) is due Wednesday and my essay SUCKED. So I spent the whole day attempting to fix it. I go to dance class and was tired and not really on my A-game and then I hurt my knee coming out of a jete. My dad comes to pick me up, and I gripe the whole way home. We pull up in the driveway and "Alicia, Winter Ball?" is spelled on the window in yellow and rubber ducks everywhere. Tim's in my livingroom with a boquet. He also sat down with me and stayed for like an hour helping me revise my essay and gave me some really good ideas to switch up the organization for a more logical progression. I think it's pretty good now.
-Wednesday- It was a half day, and I had a free third period, so I was painting in the art room. I look over and Nicole and Tim peek through the door (Nicole goes to a different school so I was very confused) and they asked me if I wanted to go on an epic adventure. I told them I couldn't because I had studio time scheduled at noon, so they said they would find me after. I got home after the shoot, and they showed up at my door. Nicole wanted a cookie, so we drove like 40 minutes to this one mall, got a cookie, turned around. We dropped Nicole off and Tim and I went to his house. We hung out for awhile and went to dinner with his family and then to the bookstore.
-Thursday: I drove to Portland to visit family for Thanksgiving. Delicious, relaxing, fun.
-Friday: We went to Powells (ginormous bookstore) before we left, and ate at PF Chang's. Very relaxing. We drove home.
-Saturday: I did my first set of Senior Portraits at two. Got home around four (we went out for lunch). Talked on the phone with Tim (who's at his lakehouse) for like an hour and then edited photos until like 2 AM.
-Sunday. Today I woke up and got coffee and Raisin Bran, and watched my favorite episode of scrubs on youtube. It makes my heart all melty. I love today, I love this week. I'm perfectly relaxed, perfectly happy, and perfectly in love.

St. John's Asylum was built in 1852 and closed in 1989, leaving the remaining walls home to over 130 years of history.
This place is a pretty famous site for urbex-ers, but as developers progress with their work to turn this huge site into housing, the floors have rotted away and the finer details are all disappearing.
Not long left until this all vanishes...

The Internet is here seen as the new mirror in which we search our own likeness and identity.
The central figure, at the computer, [a self-portrait] has been toned down following the comment below by dou_ble_you, to whom, as always, my thanks for his critique. It was also, subsequently, removed, and then replaced, on a smaller scale, as here seen.
This work grew out of several earlier ones (see: flickr.com/photos/walford/2695328110/ , and flickr.com/photos/walford/2690757479/ ), with the idea of a juxtaposition with elements from two different works by the English 18th c. painter, Joseph Wright of Derby, inspired by the comments of Lensk / Paolo Avalle [see flickr.com/photos/63587066@N00/ for Lensk / Paolo Avalle], as found below the second of the two earlier versions [see www.flickr.com/photos/walford/2695328110/in/photostream/ ]. I am most grateful to Lensk for pointing me in that direction, as had forgotten Wright's Alchemist, though am most familiar with his work.
This piece was only possible with the initial inspiration from Idea-Listic [Robert Marinkovic] 's diabolical self-portrait on his profile page, and a great deal of help from dou_ble_you, who transformed my original into something far more creative and imaginative, which, I, in turn, have re-appropriated back onto my two original computer display screens.
For the original work by Idea-Listic, that triggered this idea, see: www.flickr.com/people/53959560@N00/
