An imposing twelve-sided table
Estimate: PHP 1,200,000 - 1,400,000
First quarter, 20th century
Laguna
Narra and kamagong, kamagong inlays
83 x 224 x 224 cm (32 1/2 x 88 x 88 in)
Provenance:
Formerly from the family of Candelaria Moldes Santos, wife of Col. Leopoldo Santos, Philippine army and guerilla fighter during the Japanese occupation
Made in the Bilibid Prison which, from the early American colonial period until the end of the first half of the 20th century, manufactured high quality household and office furniture as part of its program to rehabilitate prisoners in preparation for their reintegration into mainstream society. Their outputs were arguably unrivaled in terms of craftsmanship, design and prolificity.
A rare 12-sided top, made of solid one-piece narra wood, framed by precious kamagong wood carved around the edges with acanthus gadrooning. To harvest wood with a girth this size - over 7 feet across when finished - the felled giant tree must be well over a hundred years old. Each conforming side of the frieze is carved with foliated scrolls centering an anthemion flower inscribed with C-volute. The heavy base is made of two crossed curule seat-shaped legs carved with foliated scrolls bordered by broad kamagong inlays, and undulate with winged rosettes, connected to a huge, turned central cylinder with flutings surmounted by scrolled arches and a finial. The lion’s paws with winged extensions embody immense strength and power.
Overall, the workmanship is quite remarkable, displaying great detailed carvings and decorations alluding to the Italian Neoclassical style that was popular in the early 19th century. A classic, timeless statement piece that will surely draw exclamations of surprise and admiration. Found in Santa Rosa, Laguna.

English & Short Version
Early morning I stood near a plant and tried to nip the flowers for offering them to the lord and I shuddered when I felt that flowers cried in woeful anguish and asked me whether I would murder all of them.
I stood crest-fallen, and in my heart a sensitive thought came, the expression of which formed the gist of this poem.
Few hours we are destined to live come to an end too soon to enjoy the freedom of being in the our mother plant ‘s lap or swinging happily in the air with our mother plant’s support.
When destined hour comes we breath our last uncomplaining and drop dead at our mother's cool feet. Even during our short lives we only spread beautiful scent making everyone happy.
Why Then You Humans Do Not Spare Us ?
Some of us bloom in the night but not fortunate enough to see the light of day.
All of us spread our fragrance all over the place tantalizing
How Merciless arethey those who kill the beauty itself to beautify themselves
by strangling us with silken threads ?
HOW heartless are the women to pierce needles into our hearts lest they may be able to adorn themselves with our broken necks and bleeding
--Karunasri Jandhyala

Fondée au VIe siècle par l'évêque Saint-Avit, elle fut rebâtie aux XIe et XIIe siècles, après avoir été brûlée par les Normands. Elle est remaniée au XIXe siècle par l'ajout du clocher et de dalles de lave en remplacement des tuiles romanes d'origine. Ces dalles ont été retirées depuis et la toiture refaite à l'identique de l'originale, en tuiles canal.
Une importante campagne de rénovation a débuté en 2007 à l'intérieur de l'église et s'est terminée fin 2008, rénovation qui suit celles des façades extérieures et du toit. Ces travaux ont consisté dans le nettoyage de toutes les pierres, la suppression des joints de ciments remontant à la rénovation du XIXe siècle, le rebadigeonnage des parements, la restauration des tableaux et la réfection des lustres afin de rendre l'église dans l'état où elle était en 1900. La crypte de l'église n'a pas été concernée par cette campagne de rénovation. Le dimanche 7 décembre 2008 la statue de Notre-Dame du Port a été réinstallée dans l'église (elle avait été conservé dans la cathédrale de Clermont pendant les travaux de rénovation), marquant ainsi la réouverture au public de l'édifice.
En 1998 elle a été inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l' Unesco au titre de l'inscription des chemins de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle.
Son nom vient de ce qu'elle a été construite dans le quartier dit du « port », en latin «portus», c'est à dire l'endroit où l'on apportait les marchandises.
Founded with the Life century by the Saint-Avit bishop, it was rebuilt in XIe and XIIe centuries, after being burned by the Norman ones. It is altered at the XIXe century by the addition of the bell-tower and flagstones of lava to replace the Romance tiles of origin. These flagstones were withdrawn since and the roof remade with identical of original, in tiles channel.
An important restoration campaign began in 2007 inside the church and finished at the end of 2008, restoration which follows those of the exterior facades and the roof. This work consisted in the cleaning of all the stones, the removal of the cement joints going back to the restoration of the XIXe century, the rebadigeonnage of the facings, the restoration of the boards and the repair of the glosses in order to return the church in the state where it was in 1900. The crypt of the church was not concerned with this restoration campaign. On Sunday, 7 December 2008 the statue of Notre-Dame of the Port was reinstalled in the church (it had been preserved in the cathedral of Clermont during renovation works), thus marking reopening with the public of the building.
In 1998 it was registered with the world heritage of UNESCO to the title/titre of the inscription of the ways of Saint-Jacques-of-Compostelle.
Its name comes from what it was built in the district known as of the “port”, in Latin “portus”, i.e. the place where the goods were brought.
This needs to be viewed large, it's gone all pixellated this size.
So, due to a series of events that confirm my status as a total wanker, I ended up in a field, in semi-darkness, trying to figure out how the hell a flash works. This is my effort.
I wasn't going to post it as a 365 but it looked better when I got it off the camera, and the other shot I had in mind, taken after this one and indoors, was more boring than listening to a Coldplay album on repeat. And this isn't another 50mm close-up shot - it's good to put the 50mm away sometimes, it's too easy to use it all the time like I have been recently.
I've figured out a couple more things today, and those are that I need to get a stand for my flash post-haste, what a good idea some sort of diffusion device would be and aren't gels like the cleverest thing ever? I wish I had some. I'm trying to blag some free samples from Lee Filters but nothing's arrived yet, so I'm guessing they've gotten wise to the hundreds of people pretending to be from a photography company that start with their initials and end in 'Photography' - mine was 'DWR Photography' . . . catchy eh?
Anyway, I'm in this field because the spot I had in mind on the beach was too close to some other people milling around, and while I could've gotten away with taking some photos, the flash tends to attract attention. So I took a walk out to where I took this shot (day 104) and had the most wonderful time trying to balance my flash on its wobbly little stand on top of uneven patches of grass and mud. I should also point out that the wireless trigger that attaches to my flash attaches to the hot shoe connection underneath the flash, rendering the whole unit twice as wobbly and prone to falling over. I swore. A lot.
Later on I went back to the beach to try and get something cool, but it was too dark for my remote to work, and all I ended up with was wet Chucks from when the tide came in and went right over my feet.
I'm going to bite the bullet and add this to the Strobist group, because I need help getting used to using lights, it's much, much harder than I imagined. But the results, when I get them right, are rewarding.
So, Strobist info: SB600 on the ground to my left ( this way >>>) at 1/16 power.
Comments on how to make this shot better, bearing in mind I have just the one flash, are very, very welcome. I can take constructive criticism so hit me!
So much better viewed large, there's loads of detail missing at this size
A while back I bought an Ansco Pix Panorama camera at a thrift store. It cost me four dollars, and it could be argued that I paid too much for it. It's a pocket-size all-plastic 35mm camera with a 28mm wide-angle plastic lens. On the back it has a note that says "Notify Photofinisher: Develop film and print in panoramic format."
It would be very cool if this camera took panoramic shots by producing really wide negatives, but it doesn't do that; instead, it produces really short negatives. It achieves its panoramic effect by means of a removable insert in that masks the top third and bottom third of each frame, essentially "letterboxing" the negative. So the first thing I did after I discovered the mask insert was remove it. If I want the top third and bottom third of my shot cropped off, I'd rather do that after exposing the frame, thank you very much.
I finally decided to give this camera a try with a roll of Kodak 400TX that had taken a couple of trips through the X-ray scanner airports use on checked baggage. A bit of Googling revealed that the Pix Panoramic has a fixed aperture of f/11 and a fixed shutter speed of 1/125 second, but I didn't give much thought to correct exposure while shooting the roll. I just pointed the camera at stuff and clicked, hoping that luck combined with the magic of stand development would produce a few halfway-decent shots.
And the results were a pleasant surprise. I got more "keeper" shots than I expected, and rest were at least interesting in one way or another. Given its small size and light weight, the Pix may end up being a carry-around-at-all times camera.
Ansco Pix Panorama with "panoramic" mask removed. Kodak 400TX, stand developed in Rodinal 1+100 at 19ºC for 70 minutes.
P.S. The title of this shot has nothing whatsoever to do with the TV show "Mad Men", which I've never seen but have heard good things about.

Foundation and expansion
After ascending the throne of Cambodia in 1181 A.D., Jayavarman VII embarked on a massive program of construction and public works. Rajavihara ("royal temple"), today known as Ta Prohm ("ancestor Brahma"), was one of the first temples founded pursuant to that program. The stele commemorating the foundation gives a date of 1186 A.D.
Jayavarman VII constructed Rajavihara in honor of his family. The temple's main image, representing Prajnaparamita, the personification of wisdom, was modelled on the king's mother. The northern and southern satellite temples in the third enclosure were dedicated to the king's guru and his elder brother respectively. As such, Ta Prohm formed a complementary pair with the temple monastery of Preah Khan, dedicated in 1191 A.D., the main image of which represented the Bodhisattva of compassion Lokesvara and was modelled on the king's father.
The temple's stele records that the site was home to more than 12,500 people (including 18 high priests and 615 dancers), with an additional 80,000 souls in the surrounding villages working to provide services and supplies. The stele also notes that the temple amassed considerable riches, including gold, pearls and silks.Expansions and additions to Ta Prohm continued as late as the rule of Srindravarman at the end of the 13th century.

The Morning Star over Ayre's Rock at Dawn.
•Ayers Rock is located in the middle of Australia, in fact very close to the actual geographical centre.
•Geographical coordinates: 25°20'41" S, 131°01'57" E.
•Ayers Rock is not the world's largest monolith. This title belongs to Mt Augustus in Western Australia.
•Uluru is
◦862.5 metres above sea level,
◦348 metres (1141 feet) high,
◦3.6 km long (2.2 miles),
◦1.9 km wide (1.2 miles),
◦9.4 km or 5.8 miles around the base (that's walking),
◦covers 3.33 km2 (1.29 miles2),
◦extends about several km/miles into the ground, it is not exactly known how far (despite the numbers you might have read).
•The climbing track (which trespasses an important Aboriginal sacred site) is 1.6 km (one mile) long.
•The Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is 1326 km2 in size (132,567 hectares, or 512 miles2).
•Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park has a desert climate.
•The area receives a surprising amount of rainfall for a desert (like most Australian deserts do), about 200 - 250 mm a year.
•Like all deserts the area experiences extremes in temperature. Winter nights can be as cold as -8°C, and summer days as hot as 48°C.
•During the middle of summer (December to March) the daily maximum averages 38°C
•Both Uluru and Kata Tjuta are left overs of a huge sediment that has formed hundreds of millions of years ago:
•Sand was laid down in a basin which formed about 900 million years ago. Material continued to collect at the bottom of this ancient sea bed until about 300 million years ago.
•550 million years ago the area was lifted and folded and mountain ranges formed. These ranges eroded in the following millions of years, leaving huge sediments at the bottom.
•About 300 million years ago the seas disappeared. The remaining sediment folded and fractured again. In this major process the sediment layers that now form Uluru were tilted, so that today they are at a 85° angle. Kata Tjuta was tilted some 20°. The whole region was lifted up above sea level in the process.
•This means Uluru and Kata Tjuta are the only visible tips of a massive underground rock slab.
•You could even argue that the description of Uluru as a monolith is inaccurate, as it is actually part of this huge underground rock formation that also includes Kata Tjuta.
•The intriguing sculpted shapes, valleys and ridges, caves, potholes and plunge pools are the result of the last few hundreds of millions of years of erosion. The flaky surface is due to chemical decomposition.
•Uluru is made of arkose sandstone (a sandstone rich in feldspar), whereas Kata Tjuta is a conglomerate of gravel and boulders, cemented together by mud and sand.
•Uluru is naturally grey, but the iron content of the rock is "rusting" at the surface, resulting in the distinctive red iron oxide coating

Gosto de ti calada porque estás como ausente
e me ouves de longe, e esta voz não te toca.
Parece que os teus olhos foram de ti voando
e parece que um beijo fechou a tua boca.
Como todas as coisas estão cheias da minha alma
tu emerges das coisas cheias da alma minha.
Borboleta de sonho, pareces-te com a minha alma
e pareces-te com a palavra melancolia.
Gosto de ti calada e estás como distante
E estás como queixando-te, borboleta em arrulho.
E ouves-me de longe, e esta voz não te alcança:
vais deixar que eu me cale com o silêncio teu.
Vais deixar que eu te fale também com o teu silêncio
claro como uma lâmpada, simples como um anel.
Tu és igual à noite, calada e constelada.
O teu silêncio é de estrela, tão longínquo e tão simples.
Gosto de ti calada porque estás como ausente.
Distante e dolorosa como se houvesses morrido.
Uma palavra então, um teu sorriso bastam.
E eu estou alegre, alegre porque não é verdade.

J'aime quand tu te tais, parce que tu es comme absente,
et tu m'entends au loin, et ma voix ne t'atteint pas.
On dirait que tes yeux se sont envolés,
et on dirait qu'un baiser t'a clos la bouche
Comme toutes les choses sont remplies de mon âme,
tu émerges des choses pleine de mon âme.
Papillon de rêve, tu ressembles à mon âme
et tu ressembles au mot : mélancolie.
J'aime quand tu te tais et que tu es comme distante.
Et tu es comme plaintive, papillon que l'on berce.
Et tu m'entends au loin, et ma voix ne t'atteint pas:
laisse-moi me taire avec ton silence.
Laisse-moi aussi te parler avec ton silence,
clair comme une lampe, simple comme un anneau.
Tu es comme la nuit, silencieuse et constellée.
Ton silence est d'étoile, si lointain et si simple.
J'aime quand tu te tais, parce que tu es comme absente,
distante et dolente, comme si tu étais morte.
Un mot alors, un sourire suffisent,
et je suis heureux, heureux que ce ne soit pas vrai.

I like For You to be Still
I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent,
and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you.
It seems as though your eyes had flown away
and it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth.
As all things are filled with my soul
you emerge from the things, filled with my soul.
You are like my soul, a butterfly of dream,
and you are like the word Melancholy.
I like for you to be still, and you seem far away.
It sounds as though you were lamenting, a butterfly cooing like a dove.
And you hear me from far away, and my voice does not reach you:
Let me come to be still in your silence.
And let me talk to you with your silence
that is bright as a lamp, simple as a ring.
You are like the night, with its stillness and constellations.
Your silence is that of a star, as remote and candid.
I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent,
distant and full of sorrow as though you had died.
One word then, one smile, is enough.
And I am happy, happy that it's not true

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
From gurmatbibek.com/forum/read.php?3,298
Bhai Sangat Pheru from the village Aanbwaari near Lahore, started the business of selling local products as a hawker from a young age. When he heard the praises of Guru Har Rai Sahib Ji he decided to move to Kiratpur. When he reached Kiratpur he started selling ghee, carrying the pot on his head. He started going daily to the Darbar of Guru Har Rai Sahib Ji to pay homage to Guru Ji. Guru Sahib started buying ghee from him for Langar so his business flourished.
Bhai Bhagatu at this time was in charge of agriculture of Guru Ji’s land, which he was tilling with other Sikhs. One day Bhai Bhagatu was serving meals to the labourers who had been reaping the crop of wheat; Bhai Sangat was passing by with the pot of ghee on his head. The labourers said “Bhai Bhagatu, we have been doing hard work, please provide us with some ghee with these dry rotis”
Bhai Bhagatu asked Bhai Sangat to provide one chhatank (two ounces) of ghee for each labourer. Bhai Sangat gave one chhatank of ghee to each of the labourers from his pot, Bhai Bhagatu said “please take the price for the ghee from Guru Ji.”
After this Bhai Sangat reached his house and put the pot of ghee in his room, the next day when he was going to go to the market to sell his ghee. He looked into the pot and saw the ghee was at the same level as he had brought it from a nearby village. He was amazed to see this; he had given the labourers more than one seer (one kilo) but his pot was now full to the brim. He was now determined to give up his business and serve Guru Ji.
He carried the pot of ghee on his head to the Langar and placed in the kitchen. He then requested Guru Ji that he wanted to led his life in Guru Ji’s service. Guru Ji blessed him and said “We change your name from today, as you have got the gift of Naam as a Pheriwala (hawker), therefore we name you Bhai Pheru. We appoint you in charge of the Langar, you must be careful that no one remains hungry.”
Bhai Pheru was serving in the kitchen day and night, one day some Sikhs came late form Langar. In the kitchen there was some stale rotis and some fresh rotis were being made. Bhai Pheru served some stale rotis to some Sikhs and fresh rotis to the rest of the Sikhs. One Sikh noticed this discrimination and said “Bhai Pheru, you have made the Langar blind of one eye by making this discrimination”
Bhai Pheru said “my dear Gursikh, today I have made mistake but in the future I will act cautiously. I may lose my one eye but I will not make the Langar blind of one eye (i.e. he will not discriminate again).” These words became true and he lost the sight of this eyes.
When Guru Ji came to know Bhai Pheru had become blind in one eye he went straight to Bhai Pheru and presented him a Gutka and a Saropa. Guru Ji said “I am pleased with your Seva, now I appoint you Masand of Nikka Desh. Now go there and preach Sikhi. You will not face any shortage for anything.

This was great! The communities that have led to my blogging obsession (the UserLand and Frontier community), and to Bryght (Drupal, PHP, MySQL and Linux) are friendly and small enough that I have met most of them.
So I have met Dave Winer (Manila, Radio, etc.), Dries (Drupal) and Rasmus (PHP)
My goal is to meet and take similar cheesy :-) pictures with the MySQL guys and Linus Torvalds of Linux.

Piruetas en el firmamento (Diego Martín)
SÓLO MIENTRAS TANTO
Vuelves, día de siempre,
rompiendo el aire justamente donde
el aire había crecido como muros.
Pero nos iluminas brutalmente
y en la sencilla náusea de tu claridad
sabemos cuándo se nos caerán los ojos,
el corazón, la piel de los recuerdos.
Claro, mientras tanto
hay oraciones, hay pétalos, hay ríos,
hay la ternura como un viento húmedo.
Sólo mientras tanto.

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.

♫♪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...
The original untextured version can be found in the same set. I was unhappy with the over-saturated water and green in the original background but my attempts to correct that left my lovely niece Daisy dull and lifeless, which, I asure you, would be a false characterization.
Solution (short of better colour-correction skills to begin with): texturing an overly vivid background diminished it's impact, added subtle interest, and most important, ensured focal attention where intended. At least that's what I think I accomplished. Comments, criticisms, and tips for improvement are most welcome.
The texture used (and altered) is courtesy of ground*floor www.flickr.com/photos/chromaticaberrations/ who registered his texture sets with creative commons.
Friend and photographer Brian Gudas briangudasphotography.com/personal/ introduced me to this technique and graciously helped me nail down the procedures for myself. Check out a sample of his texturing work here: www.flickr.com/photos/briangudasphotography/3049407002/. View the large version. Engaging or what!?

Cloud Gate, a public sculpture by Indian-born British artist Anish Kapoor, is the centerpiece of the AT&T Plaza in Millennium Park within the Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois. The sculpture and AT&T Plaza are located on top of Park Grill, between the Chase Promenade and McCormick Tribune Plaza & Ice Rink. Constructed between 2004 and 2006, the sculpture is nicknamed The Bean because of its legume-like shape. Made up of 168 stainless steel plates welded together, its highly polished exterior has no visible seams. It is 33 feet by 66 feet by 42 feet (10 m × 20 m × 13 m), and weighs 110 short tons (99.8 t; 98.2 long tons).
Kapoor's design was inspired by liquid mercury and the sculpture's surface reflects and distorts the city's skyline. Visitors are able to walk around and under Cloud Gate's 12-foot (3.7 m) high arch. On the underside is the omphalos, a concave chamber that warps and multiplies reflections. The sculpture builds upon many of Kapoor's artistic themes, although many tourists simply view the sculpture and its unique reflective properties as a photo-taking opportunity.
The sculpture was the result of a design competition. After Kapoor's design was chosen, numerous technological concerns regarding the design's construction and assembly arose, in addition to concerns regarding the sculpture's upkeep and maintenance. Various experts were consulted, some of whom believed the design could not be implemented. Eventually, a feasible method was found, but the sculpture's construction fell behind schedule. It was unveiled in an incomplete form during the Millennium Park grand opening celebration in 2004, before being concealed again while it was completed. Cloud Gate was formally dedicated on May 15, 2006, and has since gained considerable popularity, both domestically and internationally. [wikipedia]

A widespread and common small sparrow, the Dark-eyed Junco is most familiar as a winter visitor to bird feeders. It comes in several distinctly different looking forms, but all are readily identified as "juncos" by their plain patterning, dark hood, and white outer tail feathers.
Description
* Medium-sized sparrow.
* Unstreaked gray or brown, no wingbars (usually).
* Gray to black hood.
* Belly white.
* White outer tail feathers.
* Eyes dark. Legs pink.
* Size: 14-16 cm (6-6 in)
* Wingspan: 18-25 cm (7-10 in)
* Weight: 18-30 g (0.64-1.06 ounces)
Sex Differences
Sexes similar, but females average paler and browner.
Sound
Song is a musical trill. Calls a hard "tick," "smack," and a short twittering trill.
Conservation Status
Common.
Other Names
Junco ardoisé (French)
Junco ojo oscuro (Spanish)
Cool Facts
* Juncos are the "snowbirds" of the middle latitudes. In the eastern United States, they appear in all but the most northern states only in the winter, and then retreat each spring. Some juncos in the Appalachian Mountains remain there all year round, breeding at the higher elevations. These residents have shorter wings than the migrants that join them each winter. Longer wings help the migrants fly long distances.
* The Dark-eyed Junco includes five forms that were once considered separate species. The "slate-colored junco" is the grayest, found from Alaska to Texas and eastward. The "Oregon junco" is boldly marked blackish and brown, with a distinct dark hood, and is found in the western half of the continent. The "gray-headed junco" has a brown back and gray sides and lives in the central Rocky Mountains. The "white-winged junco" is all gray with white wingbars, and breeds only near the Black Hills of South Dakota. The "Guadalupe junco" of Baja California is dull and brownish. Two other forms may be distinguishable: the "pink-sided junco," a pale version of the Oregon junco, living in the northern Rocky Mountains, and the "red-backed junco," a gray-headed junco with a dark upper bill, found in mountains near the Mexican border.
* The Dark-eyed Junco is a common bird at winter bird feeders across North America. Data from Project FeederWatch show that it is often the most common feeder bird in an area, and it is on the top-ten lists of all regions except the Southeast and South-Central (where it is 11th and 12th, respectively). To view the top-25 lists of feeder birds from across the continent, go to the Project FeederWatch Data Retrieval page

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.
who knows if the moon's
who knows if the moon's
a baloon,coming out of a keen city
in the sky--filled with pretty people?
(and if you and i should
get into it,if they
should take me and take you into their baloon,
why then
we'd go up higher with all the pretty people
than houses and steeples and clouds:
go sailing
away and away sailing into a keen
city which nobody's ever visited,where
always
it's
Spring)and everyone's
in love and flowers pick themselves

Essa fotografia é SOOC; redimensionamento e marca d'água são as únicas edições. Essa é a luz da lua daquele dia, e sim, ela estava brilhosa desse jeito mesmo. Eu tirei essa foto uns 30 minutos antes do céu escurecer por completo e eu pudesse ver esse efeito na água.
E eu não sei, mas tenho lido bastante coisas do E. E. Cummings esses dias. :)

This one is SOOC; resizing and watermark would be the only editing. This light was the light of the moon that day, and yes, it was THAT bright. I took this shot about 30 minutes before the sky was totally dark and I could see this effect on the water.
Aaaand I don't know, I'm just really into E. E. Cummings poetry these days. :)
La Fueva, Huesca (Spain).
Panorama from 3 shots.
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.

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.

I have actually never heard of David Lynch until now. This picture is form the movie Twin Peaks (1990) Which I am totally going to try and find now. Sounds like it would be pretty good.
Even in death I am Fabulous and Flawless. If I were alive I would be fierce.
Poor Jasmine woke up this morning with a Migraine puking. So she is home from school today. Ian is feeling better now that the antibiotics have kicked in. He had a bad ear infection that was keeping him up at night. I am so tired of the kids being sick. Good thing I am a stay at home Mom, I would have missed so much work lately if I wasn't.
Guess I better get to the housework that I should be doing instead of playing dead. Playing dead is a lot more fun though!
Vivid Sydney - Macquarie Visions
The Vivid Festival ran from May 27 to June 21.
Highlights inclided a light display on Macquarie Street and the return of the fire waters performance at Darling Harbour, a song summit in Sydney and a creative industries X Media Lab.
Last year's festival attracted more than 200,000 people to events at the Rocks and Circular Quay.

The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts centre in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was conceived and largely built by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, who, in 2003, received the Pritzker Prize, architecture's highest honour.
The Sydney Opera House was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007. Currently, it is the most recently constructed World Heritage Site to be designated as such, sharing this distinction with such ancient landmarks as Stonehenge and the Giza Necropolis. It is one of the 20th century's most distinctive buildings and one of the most famous performing arts centres in the world.
The Sydney Opera House is situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It sits at the northeastern tip of the Sydney central business district (the CBD), surrounded on three sides by the harbour (Sydney Cove and Farm Cove) and neighboured by the Royal Botanic Gardens.
The Opera House was formally completed in 1973, having cost $102 million.

Walking around the beach after sunset, between the crumbling cliffs, hemmed in by the tide I was looking for one last photo before I headed back up the wooded valley away from the coast. I noticed these three pebbles grouped together at the edge of the limestone pavement with the fresh water stream that runs down through the valley and across the beach to the sea flowing over them. The late evening soft pink glow of the sky made the rock below seem to glow itself and the round stones and blurred water seemed to me the perfect compliment to the soft light.
I would have liked to have spotted this scene earlier while the sun was still above the horizon and it's light was caught in the water making every drop sparkle. Although I'm not certain that this lighting would have suited the scene so well it would have been nice to compare and contrast the two lighting conditions. Maybe next time, although these pebbles will surely be long gone by then.
