i designed this wallpaper for school. the inspiration comes from an old icelandic national costume. the project was to design something for the future inspired by old icelandic crafts.
i just won an award at school yesterday for this project. it was voted the best idea. the judges were 2 girls who are graduating from the iceland academy of the arts and a former student at my school who is now a tv presenter. i got money, so i'll be shopping tomorrow!

Noel Kempff Mercado National Park is a national park in the north-eastern portion of the Santa Cruz Department, Province of José Miguel de Velasco, Bolivia, on the border with Brazil.
The date of its foundation was on June 28, 1979. Its original name was "Parque Nacional Huanchaca", but was then changed to "Parque Nacional Noel Kempff Mercado" in honor of the late pioneering biologist and Bolivian conservationist Prof. Noel Kempff Mercado, for his research and discoveries in the Park - and also in memory of his tragic death in the area; in 1988 Mercado was murdered here by drug traffickers after stumbling across a secret cocaine laboratory high on the Huanchaca plateau.
Noel Kempff Mercado National Park spans 15,234 km² (5,880 mi²) in the northeastern corner of the Bolivian department of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. One of the most biologically diverse areas in the world, Bolivia is known for its diversity in climate, fauna and flora. Weather in the general area is very hot and humid throughout the year, with abundant rainfall reaching roughly 1500 mm.
(Wikipedia)
-----
Practically only accessible by chartered private small aeroplane, Noel Kempff Mercado remains one of the least accessible national parks in the world. It tooks more than two hours to get to the park from Santa Cruz by chartered light aircraft; the journey itself offers marvelous views over tropical dry forest all around.
The plane lands in a small village of La Florida, located at the Río Paraguá river. It's both charming and relaxed place with lovely and easy going atmosphere; here small children are bringing water from a river nearby for breakfast preparation.

This was an incredible old real-ale pub owned by the equally extraordinary Mrs Davies (who has now sadly passed away) until just a couple of years ago.
She was well into her eighties when this photograph was taken, and had grown up in Melbourne Australia, where her father was a racehorse trainer.
She inherited this pub when she was a little younger, and simply decided to come over to Wales to run it.
Absolutely nothing inside had changed since the 1930's,,,and the beer was just as good as then too, I've little doubt.
If you look at this photograph in "original" size, and look at the left hand side of the frame, you can just about see Mrs Davies in an even older framed photograph, hanging on the wall.
The guy sitting next to my wife is Genadii Dubayev, the Chechen novelist, who now teaches at The Sorbonne in Paris.
We were privileged to have him visit us over that Christmas and New Year (2002-03).
He's also a mean hand with an old vintage Leica out of the true Cartier Bresson mould.
If you should ever run into him however,,,don't let him challenge you to a Vodka drinking competition.
A genuine "Extreme Sport", at which you will certainly lose,,,but big-time, as I did (that is if you're a "normal" human being,,,and not somebody from Chechnya).

5.Deci a venit la o cetate a Samariei, numită Sihar, aproape de locul pe care Iacov l-a dat lui Iosif, fiul său;
6.Şi era acolo fântâna lui Iacov. Iar Iisus, fiind ostenit de călătorie, S-a aşezat lângă fântână şi era ca la al şaselea ceas.
7.Atunci a venit o femeie din Samaria să scoată apă. Iisus i-a zis: Dă-Mi să beau.
8.Căci ucenicii Lui se duseseră în cetate, ca să cumpere merinde.
9.Femeia samarineancă I-a zis: Cum Tu, care eşti iudeu, ceri să bei de la mine, care sunt femeie samarineancă? Pentru că iudeii nu au amestec cu samarinenii.
10.Iisus a răspuns şi i-a zis: Dacă ai fi ştiut darul lui Dumnezeu şi Cine este Cel ce-ţi zice: Dă-Mi să beau, tu ai fi cerut de la El, şi ţi-ar fi dat apă vie.
11.Femeia I-a zis: Doamne, nici găleată nu ai, şi fântâna e adâncă; de unde, dar, ai apa cea vie?
12.Nu cumva eşti Tu mai mare decât părintele nostru Iacov, care ne-a dat această fântână şi el însuşi a băut din ea şi fiii lui şi turmele lui?
13.Iisus a răspuns şi i-a zis: Oricine bea din apa aceasta va înseta iarăşi;
14.Dar cel ce va bea din apa pe care i-o voi da Eu nu va mai înseta în veac, căci apa pe care i-o voi da Eu se va face în el izvor de apă curgătoare spre viaţă veşnică.

4 Jesus had to go through Samaria. 5 He came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, which was near the land Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus was tired from his journey, so he sat down at the well. It was about noon.
7 A Samaritan woman came to the well to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me some water to drink.” 8 His disciples had gone into the city to buy him some food.
9 The Samaritan woman asked, “Why do you, a Jewish man, ask for something to drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (Jews and Samaritans didn’t associate with each other.)
10 Jesus responded, “If you recognized God’s gift and who is saying to you, ‘Give me some water to drink,’ you would be asking him and he would give you living water.”
11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you don’t have a bucket and the well is deep. Where would you get this living water? 12 You aren’t greater than our father Jacob, are you? He gave this well to us, and he drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.”
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks from the water that I will give will never be thirsty again. The water that I give will become in those who drink it a spring of water that bubbles up into eternal life.”
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will never be thirsty and will never need to come here to draw water!”
I never used to drink coffee. After I moved to Guelph a few years ago I tried it. Then I tried our local Planet Bean Coffee...... and it was all over. I now buy freshly roasted coffee every week or so.... and grind it in my new burr grinder right before I brew it in my french press. I have somehow become a coffee snob. Never saw it coming.
A bonus of drinking Planet Bean coffee is that it is Fair Trade and Organic!
Camera: Nikon D700 [ISO 200]:[5s] Lens:135mm 2.8 AIS [f4]
Strobist: SB900 @ 17mm 1/8th power, into 28" wescott softbox camera right. Used a whiteboard to attempt to reflect some of the light back to left side of subject.
Triggered by PWII's.
After the flash went off, I used a small pen flashlight and made quick circles in the air during the remainder of the 5 second exposure. I kind of like this one because the "halo" is all messed up. it sure is hard to draw a straight line while reaching over your setup in the dark. single exposure, no photoshop editing.

The Zuiko 28/3.5 is certainly not the fastest wide-angle lens in the Olympus catalogue but is a lens for the budget-minded photographers trying to build their Olympus lens kit. And that's what attracted me to the particular lens. While having only a maximum aperture of f/3.5, limiting the number of stops you have access the lens is free of any major distortion and remains sharp.

Part of a brief series of photos on the Rozanji, a temple credited as one of the places where Murakami Shikibu wrote, exactly a thousands years ago, the Genji monogatari. The house of his father, the courtier Fujiwara Tametoki, was here and, if not the building, this could be the place she was refering to as "home" when wrote in her Diary (as translated by Richard Bowring):
"What on earth are you doing in such cold weather?" asked His Excellency. "You are meant to be convalescing!" Nevertheless he brought her exquisite paper brushes and ink from time to time, an even an inkstone. When the women found out that Her Majesty had given it to me, they all complained loudly that I had obtained it by going behind their backs. Despite this, she made me another present of some excellent colored paper and some brushes.
Then, while I was busy in attendance, His Excellency sneaked into my room and found the copy of the Tale that I had had brought from home for safe-keeping. It seems that he gave the whole thing to his second daughter. I no longer had the fair copy in my possession and was sure that the version she had would hurt my reputation.
As the setsubun festivities were taking place, the garden was closed the day we payed our visit, but this man we made friends with managed to get us in there after a few words with the monks. Once there, he pointed out to the room at the corner, left side here, and said it was there where Murasaki Shikibu began writing her masterwork, while looking at the garden (now called Genji niwa, id est Genji's Garden). Oviously an exageration (the temple was rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1788) but the experience was moving all the same. And, after all, if not exactly there, it could be a few meters from there, huh?
Just a quick update ,
Casper( the budgie) is still weak and' very' wobbly but eating and playing with some of his toys:)

Merlin.. the other budgie is bit upset and fretting cause he's seperated from Casper, but keeping himself entertained with chatting to his mirror...and in between trying to work out strategies to get to Casper by wrecking his side of the cage.

i have spent every day since getting back from Leeds Festival like this, a total zombie, doing nothing but ironing and making dinner and wasting time on Facebook/Myspace.
my lack of purpose infuriates my mother.
not my fault though, uni on Sept 20th, ill have more than enough purpose on my plate from there..!
i'm making the most of being able to do nothing without feeling guilty.
i also have absolute stacks of paperwork about Registration, Accommodation, Intro Week, course modules, contracts etc etc etc.
i'm practically drowning under the weight.
and although it's all supposed to help me understand, i have no idea what i'm doing or what i'm letting myself in for.
Confession: I actually like it when my cat scratches me deep enough to make it bleed. Not so much a fan of the massive scars thought..
August 29th
A large Rococo console table
Estimate: PHP 50,000 - 60,000
Last quarter, 19th century
San Isidro, Nueva Ecija
Red narra
86 x 147.5 x 57 cm (34 x 58 x 22 in)
Lot 440 of the Salcedo Auctions auction on 21 September 2019. Please see salcedoauctions.com for more details.
A beautifully crafted, unusually large console table made in precious, heavy red narra wood in rich, lustrous patina, with strong stylistic affinities with Rococo Revival furniture popular in Europe in the second and third quarter of the 19th century. The serpentine front concaves at the sides, bulges in the middle, and rounds at the corners. Flowers, foliage, C-scrolls and elongated shell motifs delightfully carved adorn the frieze drawers and cabriole legs. The French-style shell hoof feet are strikingly beautiful and well executed. Interestingly, by design, there are no X-stretchers connecting the legs, thus presenting an uncluttered demeanor. Only an wealthy family with a stately house to keep it in could possibly own such a magnificent piece. Reputedly from a house in San Isidro, Nueva Ecija owned by relatives of nationalist Maximo Viola.

Más d’un cientu de persones participaron esti sábadu 23 na I Folixa Nacional entamada por Fai! como reivindicación y celebración del Día de la Nación Asturiana, recuerdu de la xornada qu’abre la historia contemporánea d’Asturies, el 25 de mayu de 1808, día de la declaración de soberanía de la Xunta Xeneral.
Doscientos ún años depués d’esti fechu y de la creación de la bandera asturiana, la organización d'esquierda soberanista Fai! quixo ufrir un menú folixeru y combativu nel marcu del CSOA La Reflexón. Abriendo les actividaes, Sergio Gutiérrez Camblor, Carlos Suari, Pablo X. Suárez, Xabel Vegas y Xandru Fernández protagonizaron el recital poéticu “Poetes agresivos (disparen les sos obres contra los que se duermen)”, onde tuvo bien presente, de la mano de los sos versos, la crítica social y la ironía más característica de cinco poetes que representaron na Folixa’l presente y el futuru de la lliteratura nacional, al tiempu que nes paredes se proyectaben imáxenes subversives qu'afalaben l'ambiente combativu del recital.
De siguío, dellos artistes plásticos emprimaben a diseñar un mural que tenía la histórica fras como protagonista: “Asturies enxamás vencida”.
Dientro del CSOA, organización, delles puestos de material y músicos ultimaben tolos detalles pa que dende les siete y media, la música entamara a sonar na I Folixa Nacional con un escenariu enllenu d'asturines y de banderes d'otros pueblos en llucha como les de los Països Catalans, Castiella, el País Llionés, Andalucía, Euskal Herria, Palestina...K-Nalón yera’l grupu encargáu de romper el silenciu col so rap dinamiteru 100% n’asturianu.
Darréu Arma X y 13 Palabras xubíen al escenariu de La Reflexón pa que la revolución de rimes nun aparara.Metanes l'actuación, una pancarta xubió al escenariu pa denunciar la illegalización de les idées y pola derogación de la llei de partíos.
Al finar esta actuación los sones reivindicativos dexaron pasu al actu políticu, onde militantes de Fai! lleeron un manifiestu en favor del 25 de mayu como día nacional d'Asturies. Enantes, un representante del Comité de Sofitu a Iniciativa Internacionalista n'Asturies, que llamentablemente foi la única organización qu'acudió a la llamada que dende Fai! se ficiere a los partíos de la izquierda nacional asturiana pa dicir unes pallabres, agradeció'l convite y presentó la campaña que ta desendolcando'l comité nesti país, a pesar de les torgues y la criminalización que careció y carez esta y otres munches opciones polítiques d'esquierda soberanista nel estáu español.
Na segunda metada del conciertu Vinagre de Sidra abría capítulu pa les guitarres y el rock, que yá na fin de la nueche diba zarrar Gomeru, depués de cinco hores de música dende la trinchera más reivindicativa del país.
Dende Fai! nun queremos que s'escaeza la nuestra historia, la historia d'un pueblu combativu que siempre supo tar a l'altura de les circunstancies. Güei tócanos a nosotres y nosotros, les y los asturianes y asturianos del sieglu XXI siguir na llucha en busca de la soberanía popular d'Asturies.

Starring Ray “Crash” Corrigan, Lee Van Atta, C. Montague Shaw, Monte Blue, Lois Wilde, John Merton, William Farnum.
Undersea Kingdom begins with a protracted introduction to our hero, US Navy lieutenant “Crash” Corrigan (Ray Corrigan), in a series of sequences that establish his athletic prowess. After Crash has excelled at football, wrestling, and other strenuous sports, the main plot gets underway when Corrigan is assigned to accompany scientist Professor Norton (C. Montague Shaw) on a submarine expedition to the bottom of the ocean. Norton is convinced that a recent series of earthquakes are emanating from the lost land of Atlantis–which, according to his theory, was not destroyed when it sank to the ocean floor but instead preserved by a protective dome. Norton, Corrigan, newspaper reporter Diana Compton (Lois Wilde), and Norton’s young son Billy (Lee Van Atta) discover the truth of Norton’s theory when their undersea journey brings them to Atlantis–a country that culturally and sartorially resembles Ancient Greece, but possesses technology never seen in the ancient or modern world. There, they find that the Atlantean tyrant Unga Khan (Monte Blue) has been causing the earthquakes, which are mere test runs for his planned conquest of the “surface world” with his arsenal of destructive weapons. Norton is taken prisoner by Khan, who makes the professor his scientific lackey after after technologically brainwashing him, while Crash is captured by Sharad (William Farnum), the high priest of Poseidon and the leader of an Atlantean faction that opposes Unga Khan. Eventually, Crash convinces Sharad that they share a common enemy, and is given command of the high priest’s “White Robe” army. He takes command of Sharad’s campaign against Unga Khan’s “Black Robes,” while Khan assiduously prepares for an invasion of the unsuspecting surface world.
Undersea Kingdom is invariably compared to Universal’s Flash Gordon, which was released two months earlier in 1936; in fact, it’s often cited as a direct imitation of the Universal chapterplay. Given the closeness of the two serials’ release dates, this is unlikely–although Republic did begin producing Kingdom when Universal announced Gordon, no doubt hoping to steal a little of Gordon’s thunder with a sci-fi adventure of their own. Thematically, however, Undersea Kingdom owes more to Phantom Empire, released two years earlier by Republic’s predecessor Mascot, than it does to Flash Gordon. Among the two serials’ points in common are an alien kingdom that is still part of the good old Earth, a child co-hero, and a villainous robot corps. Also like Empire, Kingdom lacks any of the otherworldly atmosphere of Flash Gordon; Atlantis’ locales and inhabitants never come alive the way Mongo’s do. The troubles of Atlantis never becomes involving in their own right; the struggle between Unga Khan and Sharad is a mere backdrop to Khan’s plan to conquer the surface world; (in fact, the final destruction of Sharad’s city is only a side effect of Khan’s attempt to recapture Professor Norton).
However, while Undersea Kingdom is no Flash Gordon, it has much to recommend it. As already mentioned, the writers (John Rathmell, Oliver Drake, Maurice Geraghty, and Tracy Knight) don’t succeed in making Atlantis seem very colorful (although they give the supposedly Greek Atlanteans a wild potpourri of names that hail from Mongolia, ancient Persia, Phoenicia, and many other places), but they keep their plot moving swiftly. The final chapter is unusually exciting, with Unga Khan confidently preparing to blast opposing Navy ships from the ocean as Crash and Norton work frantically to cripple his defenses from within his impregnable tower.
While the serial’s principal outdoor location (Iverson’s Movie Ranch) doesn’t look very otherworldly, both Sharad’s Sacred City (a disguised version of Republic’s Spanish fort, enlarged by some excellent matte work) and Unga Khan’s laboratory are decorated in properly peculiar style, while the serial’s various miniatures (the Atlantean “Volplane,” Norton’s submarine, Khan’s rocket-powered tower) are very well-designed by Howard and Theodore Lydecker. The Juggernaut, a tank-like vehicle that anticipates the Jungle Cruiser in Tim Tyler’s Luck, is similarly impressive, while a squad of robots (called “Volkites” here) will only impress those (like myself) who don’t object to the water- heater-like appearance of the robot in the later Mysterious Doctor Satan; the Volkites are near-duplicates of that automaton.
The serial features few of the fistfights common to Republic’s later serials, but compensates by including some truly unique action sequences, chief among them the large-scale attacks on Sharad’s Sacred City by the Black Robes; these battle scenes are beautifully staged by directors Joseph Kane and B. Reeves Eason (Eason directed many similar sequences in silent and sound “spectacles” like 1925’s Ben-Hur and 1936’s Charge of the Light Brigade). The serial’s smaller-scaled swordfights are also well-handled, as are several chariot chases, Crash’s tightrope-walking escape from Khan’s tower, and the wrestling matches between Crash and various opponents (although his repeated success in overpowering two villains at once somewhat stretches credibility). The serial’s chapter endings are interesting (particularly the ones involving Crash’s fall down an elevator shaft, his apparent crushing by the Juggernaut, and the good guys’ failed escape in the Volplane that ends in their being shot down), but too many of them–including the famed Juggernaut cliffhanger–are resolved by blatant “cheats” in the following chapter.
The serial’s cast is uneven in terms of acting. Ray Corrigan, excellent as a laid-back but determined cowboy hero in Republic’s Three Mesquiteers films, seems slightly uncomfortable as a swashbuckling near-superhero (with a rather embarrassing outfit); he delivers most of his lines hurriedly in rather stone-faced fashion and lacks the dash that helped Buster Crabbe put across the similarly difficult role of Flash Gordon. Monte Blue is also a bit miscast as the warlord Unga Khan. While Blue was good as more prosaic villains like the evil Yellow Weasel in Hawk of the Wilderness, his appearance and voice aren’t “bravura” enough for such a larger-than-life part. He voices Khan’s megalomaniacal ravings in a harsh monotone, with none of the measured staginess someone like Charles Middleton or Bela Lugosi would have given them.
The lovely Lois Wilde has very little to do as the leading lady, but delivers her lines with a breathless enthusiasm almost unparalleled among serial actresses. Lee Van Atta is good as the capable, if somewhat cocky, Billy Norton, in effect the serial’s co-hero. John Merton features prominently as a tough Black Robe soldier named Moloch who switches over to the good guys’ side and provides Crash with loyal support; Merton handles this change-of-pace part with plenty of vigor and conviction. Lon Chaney Jr. is properly snarling and aggressive as Captain Hakur, the leader of Unga Khan’s Black Robe army, while Raymond Hatton–surprisingly cast as a villain–is his second-in-command. Boothe Howard makes a slick aide-de-camp for Monte Blue, and Lane Chandler is William Farnum’s stalwart lieutenant. Farnum himself handles the role of Sharad with his customary dignity and theatricality, glowering angrily over Unga Khan’s aggression and ringingly declaring his faith in Poseidon. The most refined and assured performance in the serial, however, comes from C. Montague Shaw as Professor Norton. Shaw is calm, dignified, and authoritative as the pre-transformation Norton and whining, crafty, and obsequious as the transformed Professor. His evil chuckling when he’s decoyed Crash into a trap is memorable, and his simple but startling transition back to his previous manner when his mind is restored is excellent.
Smiley Burnette and Frankie Marvin, accompanied by a parrot named Sinbad, are the serial’s designated comic relief, but aren’t given anything amusing in the way of material. Fortunately, they make only a few token appearances throughout the serial. A scrutiny of their scenes shows that their characters were inserted in post-production, apparently to pad out a few chapters’ running time; they never interact with any of the other principals and are never referred to by them (except in one obviously-looped scene). Jack Mulhall and Lloyd Whitlock play naval officers in the first and final chapters, and John Bradford overacts wildly as Joe, Norton’s hysterical assistant who goes berserk at the prospect of descending to the ocean depths. George DeNormand doubles for Ray Corrigan in the action scenes and plays various Atlantean guards, along with fellow stuntmen Eddie Parker, Tom Steele, and Bill Yrigoyen.
Undersea Kingdom, while not as slick as later Republics or as colorful as its contemporary Flash Gordon, is a definite step up from Mascot predecessors like Phantom Empire when it comes to production values and smoothness of plotting. The serial belongs to a developmental stage in Republic Pictures’ history, but is no less appealing because of that; while few fans or critics (this author among them) would rate it as one of Republic’s best serials, it usually holds a warm spot in their esteem.

La costumbre de reunirse en bandos, muy extendida en invierno, desaparece al llegar la época de cría, cuando las parejas de calandrias se reparten para anidar en campos abiertos, cultivados o baldíos, así como en pastizales o entre plantas halófilas. Allí los machos se elevan a veces a considerable altura y vuelan en círculos emitiendo un canto parecido al de la Alondra Común, pero fuerte y con frecuencia imitativo, que dura varios minutos, tras lo cual se lanzan a tierra con un vuelo en picado. El reclamo es un grito nasal característico. El nido está situado en una depresión del suelo, generalmente oculto por una planta. Realizada la cría de los cuatro a seis pollos, cuando éstos pueden volar, se reúnen con los adultos en bandos más o menos numerosos. La Calandria Común es una especie característica del Mediterráneo, y aunque su área se extiende por el este hasta las regiones del Caspio y Aral, falta en las Baleares, donde ha sido observada, al parecer, rarísima vez. En cambio, en la Península es bastante común en terrenos apropiados, faltando en una ancha franja norteña y en Galicia. Identificación: Es la mayor de las alaúdidas; macho: robusto pico pardo-amarillento; por encima, pardo negruzco con bordes posteriores de las alas pardo-grisáceos; por debajo, blancuzco, con pecho ocráceo algo listado de pardo, y una gran mancha negra en forma de cuerno a cada lado de la base del cuello; en la hembra, manchas más pequeñas. Nidificación: Nido, de hierbas secas, en tierra, junto a alguna planta, en sembrados de cereal o barbechos; puesta, de abril a junio, de 4 a 6 huevos blanco sucio, muy manchados de pardo y de gris; incubación, por la hembra, de unos 16 días; los pollos vuelan tras unos 12 días; a veces dos crías. Alimentación: Especialmente hierbecillas; también insectos, como coleópteros y dípteros. Hábitat: Matorrales y campos baldíos
Dozens of handicaped people invaded the YPFB (national oil & gas company) compound in Santa Cruz, threatening to blow up 3 gas bottles in case of expulsion. In the morning of Aug. 12, clashes with the company's workers left various hurt on both sides, but the handicapped managed to stay.
Here, under the improvised tent that protect them from the rain and the sun, a young man is telling me his story while his wife is playing with one of their 2 young kids. A couple of years ago, he lost both arms and legs after being attacked and left on a railway track. Unable to find a job since then, his only resource is to beg at a traffic light.

They say giving someone a smile can always change someone's day for the better, well how about getting a smile from this guy.
This is some species of Argiope Spider, a spider that is very well known for there incredible web's. There web's typically feature a zig zag shape or "x's" and can easily be spotted. I have yet to be able to find the exact name of this species.
Typically this species spider is found on its web or close to it, with this guy the closest web from him i could find was about 10 feet away, this stick he was standing on was pushed slightly into the water in a big mangrove area were tiny little crabs roamed the ground. When i saw him on the stick i knew it would make for a excellent photo opportunity.

Emily operates The Art Box directly opposite her mural: 'Welcome to Fernwood Square' was painted with great care over 2 1/2 weeks.
While she's often in Fernwood Square, all the street-painting time has allowed her a fresh chance to speak with many Fernwood locals she hadn't spoken with yet. Like me.
"Leaves, music, bikes, cafe, what is the half-circle? Ah, rainbow inclusion." We brainstormed potentials for the W. Wind? Frisbee in the field? We felt strongly for Wood (a Cherry Blossom or Garry Oak.) In the end she settled on Water.
After another coat, Emily recruited some upcoming young painters from The Art Box to help spray paint ferns across the bottom. The final mural looks and feels wonderful. Does someone else from our Fernwood, Victoria Flickr group wish to share a view of the final work?

Il 26 gennaio in tutta Italia si sono verificate 52 perquisizioni che hanno portato a 26 arresti e 16 denunce a piede libero per le mobilitazioni contro la costruzione della linea ad alta velocità Torino-Lione (TAV). Le accuse sono resistenza, violenza, lesioni a pubblico ufficiale e riguardano in particolare i fatti di Chiomonte del 3 luglio, quando una grandissima manifestazione si era opposta alla costruzione del “fortino”, creato per proteggere il cantiere di questa grande opera.
Ma alla popolazione della Val Susa, come a tutti noi, un modello di sviluppo incentrato su devastazione del territorio e sempre maggiori profitti per speculatori e padroni vari, non serve.
Dal 1991 in Val Susa i comitati popolari NoTav si battono contro questa linea ferroviaria sulla quale si giocano enormi interessi economici; interessi che sono in antitesi con i bisogni e le condizioni di vita reali della maggior parte della popolazione. In questo modo il capitalismo italiano cerca di rilanciare il proprio ruolo all’interno dell’UE, diventando una piattaforma di transito-merci e manodopera, e imponendo alla popolazione i costi economici, sociali, ambientali e militari dell’operazione. In Val Susa abbiamo visto una lotta partecipata, condivisa che ha travalicato i confini della valle, contribuendo a palesare i limiti di questo modello sociale.
Mentre la Tav passa sulla testa delle popolazioni, è in atto l’ulteriore smantellamento dei diritti nel mondo del lavoro annunciato dal governo tecnico.
In questi ultimi mesi, e anni, si sono moltiplicate le lotte dei lavoratori contro la chiusura delle fabbriche, lo sfruttamento, la continua precarizzazione dei contratti di lavoro, la mercificazione dell’istruzione.
Ne sono un esempio le aziende occupate, i presidi permanenti dei lavoratori, le mobilitazioni degli studenti, o dei comitati territoriali che si oppongono a progetti di devastazione territoriale attraverso la creazione di discariche (Chiaiano) o infrastrutture (ponte sullo stretto, TEM).
All’interno di queste lotte si sono mossi fino ad oggi gli arrestati. Le misure restrittive, coadiuvate dalla spettacolarizzazione mediatica, criminalizzano le lotte cercano di isolare questi compagni dal tessuto sociale in cui sono inseriti. Ma il movimento Notav è una lotta popolare con una esperienza ventennale che attraverso un senso di partecipazione attiva alla lotta ha sviluppato dei validi anticorpi alla distinzione tra buoni e cattivi.
Le lotte di oggi, per quanto frammentarie e parziali, pongono una critica profonda al capitalismo, e rappresentano un’anticamera concreta allo sviluppo di un diverso sistema sociale. Proprio questa alternativa preoccupa la classe dirigente. Nel tentativo di riproporre lo spauracchio degli infiltrati nei movimenti sociali (siano essi terroristi o blackblock), la toga rossa Caselli ha affermato che “questo non è un attacco alla Valsusa”. Infatti non lo è. E’ un attacco contro tutti i movimenti sociali in lotta.

Beaumaris Castle, located in Beaumaris, Anglesey, Wales was built as part of King Edward I's campaign to conquer the north of Wales. It was designed by James of St. George and was begun in 1295, but never completed. Beaumaris has been designated as a World Heritage site.
Beaumaris castle was positioned to face Garth Celyn on the opposite shore of the Menai Strait and was intended, along with Conwy Castle and Caernarfon castle at either end of the Menai Strait, to overshadow the Welsh Royal home and centre of resistance to the English forces.
Beaumaris Castle (beau mareys - fair marsh) was the last of Edward I's fortresses in North Wales. Work started in 1295 and continued for 35 years, with over 3,500 workmen employed at the peak of construction. Finances and material ran out when King Edward turned his attentions towards Scotland, and the castle was not completed, although an impressive £15,000 was expended on its construction.
During the course of construction Edward I of England ordered that the inhabitants of nearby Llanfaes be evicted from their homes and relocated to the far side of the island at Newborough.
The King's architect, Master James of St. George, brought all his experience to bear in designing Beaumaris — its defences and lines of supply are superbly planned. It was constructed according to a concentric plan — the inner ward is completely surrounded by the outer ward. The castle has a tidal dock allowing it to be supplied directly by sea and is surrounded by a water-filled moat. The defences include numerous ingeniously sited arrow slits, and the entrances are protected by murder holes from which substances such as hot oil could be poured over enemy forces. Attackers of Beaumaris Castle would have met 14 separate obstacles and four lines of fortification resulting from the 'walls within walls' design.
The plan of the castle is nearly square, sharing much in common with Caerphilly and Harlech. The inner ward is rectangular with a round tower at each corner. On the north and south sides are massive gatehouses following the typical pattern of two D-shaped towers flanking the gate passage, while two more D-shaped towers defend the east and west walls. The great hall and other domestic buildings would have been constructed within this inner ward.
Surrounding the inner bailey (in accordance with the concentric ideal) is an outer wall defended by towers and its own two gatehouses. These are not aligned with the inner gatehouses and would have denied attackers the advantage of a straight path through the gates. The dock wall extends from the south wall near the gatehouse so also serves as a defensive firing platform. Unlike the simple outer walls at Caerphilly and Harlech, the walls here are very thick and have internal passages to allow defenders access to protected arrow slits.
The plan was nearly perfect, but the castle was never completed. The Welsh conquest was practically complete at the time of construction, and the immense cost of completing such a massive fortress would have drained funds needed for the Scottish campaigns. Neither the towers of the inner ward nor the great gatehouses were built to full height and many buildings of the inner ward were left unfinished when large scale work ceased in 1298. Small-scale work was carried out in the early 14th century. However, the outer walls were crenelated, and unlike many other castles Beaumaris did not suffer slighting during the Civil War — the extant castle is very well-preserved.

SONY NEX5-N IR converted with lens Leica Leitz Tele-elmar 135mm f/4. Taken at ISO 800, f/5.6 and 1/125s. Converted B&W in post processing in Lightroom.
I have just acquired a Leica M lens (Tele-Elmar 135mm f/4) for about $500 used. This is a super bargain that can be found on ebay as well and the older silver version will be even cheaper and just as sharp. The sharpness of this lens is unbelievable and one wonders why then it is possible to find a Leica M lens at this price level?
One main reason is that this lens is the longest focal length avaialble for a Leica M which is notoriouly known to be extremely difficult to focus above 90mm focal length. The range finder technology/design makes it a pain in the butt to get a sharp image and the percentage of successfully focused pictures is the lowest with the 135mm f/4. Many people gave up and sell it back out of frustration and/or low use.
With the SONY NEX5-N or SONY NEX7, the peaking function makes it a joy to focus correctly and I have to say that out of a whole afternoon spent to play with this combination, not a single picture came out of focus!
I prefer this focal length on a DX sensor (equivalent 200 mm f/4) to take street scene without being noticed. I know that most Leica fans will swear only by the 50mm summilux or summicron which are great lenses of course; but I sometimes wonder how much of the choice for a 50mm lens comes from the difficulty to use lenses with higher focal lengths on a range finder?
Also, unless the bokeh is the key center of interest of the photo, the astronomical price for a Leica prime lens at f/1.4 ($5,000 for Leica 50mm f/1.4) makes think twice vs this of a f/4 lens like this one. The smaller aperture can be compensated by a higher sensitivity in newer cameras like the Sony NEX5-N which makes better pictures at ISO 6400 than a Leica M9 at ISO 1600. Of course the angle of view and atmosphere of a street photo taken with a wide to normal lens is totally different and cannot be compared with this of a tele.
Aside from these talking points, do you think that you would be capable to say whether this photo was taken with a Leica M9 or SONY NEX? Feel free to post your opinion.
For the record I am not a Leica basher: I actually own 2 M lenses and 3 R lenses for Leica and look forward to acquire some more if I can afford. I happen to love their lenses and find the M8/M9 cameras not so great for the price asked vs what the competition in mirror less offers (SONY NEX, FUJI XPRO1, etc...).

The Green Violet ear (Colibri thalassinus) is an attractive hummingbird that is a resident breeder in highlands from south-central Mexico, (the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt), to western Panama and in the Andes from northern Venezuela to Bolivia. It shows seasonal movements and wanders to the United States and even Canada.
In flight
The male Green Violetear is grass green above and becomes a bronze color on the rump and uppertail coverlets and is 11 — 11.5 cm (4.25 — 4.5 in) in length.[2] The tail is square and slightly notched with a broad dark blue subterminal band.[2] It has a large violet central breast spot on the upper breast and a violet-blue band along the chin that often connects to the violet-blue "ear," giving the bird its name.[2] The female is similar to the male, but averages smaller and slightly duller, with a narrower violet band on the chin.[2] The juvenile is a much duller version of the adult. Its plumage is generally olive green overall with dull gray wash to the underparts. The violet breast spot is either indistinct, incomplete, or absent.[2] A molting juvenile may show bright metallic color in patches, particularly on the throat or breast.[2]
The habitat is open upland country with trees and scrubs. It apparently avoids very humid rainforest.[3] The nest is a substantial cup of plant material 1-3m high in a tree, into which two white eggs are laid.
The Green Violet ear's song is a vigorous CHEEP-chut-chut, chip CHEET which is repeated interminably through the day. The call a dry chut. These birds visit flowers of many species of herbs, trees and scrubs for nectar.

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.

During the Inca Empire, the Inti Raymi was the most important of four ceremonies celebrated in Cusco, as related by Inca Garcilaso de la Vega. The celebration took place in the Haukaypata or the main plaza in the city.
The Inti Raymi ("Festival of the Sun") was a religious ceremony of the Inca Empire in honor of the god Inti, one of the most venerated gods in Inca religion. It really was the celebration of the Winter Solstice - the shortest day of the year in terms of the time between sunrise and sunset. In South America, which falls below the equator, the months of June & July are Winter months.
According to chronicler Garcilaso de la Vega, Sapa Inca Pachacuti created the Inti Raymi to celebrate the new year in the Andes of the Southern Hemisphere. Since 1944, a theatrical representation of the Inti Raymi has been taking place at Sacsayhuamán (two km. from Cusco) on June 24 of each year, attracting thousands of tourists and local visitors. The ceremony was also said to indicate the mythical origin of the Incas. It lasted for nine days and was filled with colorful dances and processions, as well as animal sacrifices to ensure a good cropping season. The last Inti Raymi with the Inca Emperor's presence was carried out in 1535, after which the Spanish conquest and the Catholic Church share it.
In 1944, a historical reconstruction of the Inti Raymi was directed by Faustino Espinoza Navarro and indigenous actors. The first reconstruction was largely based on the chronicles of Garcilaso de la Vega and only referred to the religious ceremony.
Inti Raymi is still celebrated in indigenous cultures throughout the Andes. Celebrations involve music, colorful costumes (most notable the woven aya huma mask) and the sharing of food. In many parts of the Andes, this celebration has been connected to the festivals of Saint John the Baptist, which falls on the day after the summer solstice (June 21).
