Upbeat and completely danceable; the debut EP from No Way Josie! will easily find its way into your Saturday nightclub playlist. With 6 tracks in tow, the album resounds in an 80s/90s dance pop vibe that will take you on a trip down memory lane filled with the amazing electro-dance pop goodness.
Vocals for the group are provided by personal trainer (and now a great vocalist) Kym Perfetto while the beats are spun by producer and music engineer, Andrew Toews.
All ready now? Say hello to the new and amazing FrostClick/ FrostWire promotion.
The EP fires off with one powerful track; Want It Back will make you dance around your room, speed up your morning run, and provide you with enough energy to start off any of the rainy days thrown in your way. The cut is also one of my personal favorites, so if you are a fan of spot on synths and masterfully put together beats, it could become one of your favorites as well.
Let Me Show U, on the other hand, takes the tempo a bit down. It shows off the gorgeous vocals by Kym and the same fun electro dance flavor we already fell in love with.
Other cuts that should put you in a happy, feel-good mood include Around The World and Nothing To Spare. Both tracks are accompanied with good mixing and gorgeous steady vocals. The songs on the EP really showcase the perfection of dance electro pop and will surely get you up and dance in no time. Apart from the originals, the compilation also includes two remixes from Cosmo Luxx Arena and a Wintry Mix Dub.
You get a great musical package with this duo. If all you need is some great dance party music to throw on for your usual Friday night gatherings, then do check this one out. So grab the download, take a peak at the band's BandCamp page and head over to their Twitter to check out where they'll be playing next.

Charadrius hiaticula
El chorlitejo grande (Charadrius hiaticula) es una especie de ave caradriforme de la familia Charadriidae que habita en Eurasia y norte de África.
Descripción
Presenta longitud máxima de 19 cm, envergadura de 48 a 57 cm, y un peso de entre 55 y 75 g. De aspecto similar al chorlitejo chico, diferenciándose principalmente por el tamaño y por la ausencia de anillo ocular en el chorlitejo grande. De color pardo por el dorso y blanquecino por el vientre. Patas y pico en tono naranja claro, terminando el pico en una puntita de color negro.
Distribución
Se localiza en toda la costa atlántica de Europa y norte de África. Presente también en gran parte de la costa mediterránea.
Cría en Eurasia, Groenlandia, noreste de Canadá, y Atlántico europeo hasta Países Bajos, e islas Británicas.
En España es invernante en casi toda la península, sobre todo en Andalucía y la costa cantábrica. Localizado también en Baleares y Canarias.
Hábitat
Por lo general frecuenta costas marinas, nidificando en playas arenosas así como pedregosas, pero también puede desarrollarse en aguas de interior, como marismas o lagos salados.
Voz
Emite frecuentemente, cuando se levanta y al volar, un trino aflautado que podría traducirse como "to-li" o bien "tuulí", antojándose como una voz suave y melancólica.
Dieta
Ingieren pequeños invertebrados que capturan picoteando la arena, pudiendo remover el fango con las patas para que estos salgan y sean llevados a sus fauces tras interrumpirles la huida.
Huevo
El chorlitejo grande presenta un tamaño medio del huevo de entre 32-39,6 x 22,8-28,5 mm. Huevo pardo claro moteado, con manchas de diferentes tamaños y distintos tonos oscuros y marrones. Realiza una o dos puestas al año, que suelen ser de unos 4 huevos. Son incubados por la hembra y el macho durante un periodo de tiempo que comprende unas 3 o 4 semanas.
Subespecies
Se conocen tres subespecies de chorlitejo grande:1
Charadrius hiaticula hiaticula Linnaeus, 1758
Charadrius hiaticula psammodromus Salomonsen, 1930
Charadrius hiaticula tundrae (Lowe, 1915)
I strongly got the feeling that the two youths in the glass bus stop shelter, one sitting down and the other one standing up, were indifferent.Especially the guy sitting.I felt that he couldn't care less if he was being photographed or not.On the other hand, when I took a closeup (where his face was clearly visible) and later on looked at that closeup on my computer, he had his eyes closed.
Now why is it that some people close their eyes when they are being photographed ? And, more specifically, especially so when they are under the impression that you are "zooming" in ?
-Is the "inner" soul really visible through the eyes of someone ? -

"No hi havia a València dos amants com nosaltres.
Feroçment ens amàvem del matí a la nit.
Tot ho recorde mentre vas estenent la roba.
Han passat anys, molt anys; han passat moltes coses.
De sobte encara em pren aquell vent o l'amor
i rodolem per terra entre abraços i besos.
No comprenem l'amor com un costum amable,
com un costum pacífic de compliment i teles
(i que ens perdone el cast senyor López-Picó).
Es desperta, de sobte, com un vell huracà,
i ens tomba en terra els dos, ens ajunta, ens empeny.
Jo desitjava, a voltes, un amor educat
i en marxa el tocadiscos, negligentment besant-te,
ara un muscle i després el peço d'una orella.
El nostre amor és un amor brusc i salvatge
i tenim l'enyorança amarga de la terra,
d'anar a rebolcons entre besos i arraps.
Què voleu que hi faça! Elemental, ja ho sé.
Ignorem el Petrarca i ignorem moltes coses.
Les Estances de Riba i les Rimas de Bécquer.
Després, tombats en terra de qualsevol manera,
comprenem que som bàrbars, i que això no deu ser,
que no estem en l'edat, i tot això i allò.
No hi havia a València dos amants com nosaltres,
car d'amants com nosaltres en són parits ben pocs."

LOS AMANTES

"No había en Valencia dos amantes como nosotros.
Ferozmente nos amábamos de la mañana a la noche.
Lo recuerdo todo mientras tiendes la ropa.
Han pasado años, muchos años; han pasado muchas cosas.
De pronto aún me atrapa aquel viento o el amor
y rodamos por el suelo entre abrazos y besos.
No comprendemos el amor como una costumbre amable,
como una costumbre pacífica de cumplidos y telas
(y que nos perdone el casto señor López-Picó).
Se despierta, de pronto, como un viejo huracán,
y nos tumba a los dos en el suelo, nos junta, nos empuja.
Yo deseaba, a veces, un amor educado
y el tocadiscos en marcha, negligentemente besándote,
ahora un hombro y después el lóbulo de una oreja.
Nuestro amor es un amor brusco y salvaje,
y tenemos la añoranza amarga de la tierra,
de andar a revolcones entre besos y arañazos.
¡Qué queréis que haga! Elemental, ya lo sé.
Ignoramos a Petrarca e ignoramos muchas cosas.
Las Estancias de Riba y las Rimas de Bécquer.
Después, tumbados en el suelo de cualquier manera,
comprendemos que somos unos bárbaros, y que esto no puede ser,
que no estamos en la edad, y todo esto y aquello.
No había en Valencia dos amantes como nosotros,
porque amantes como nosotros se han parido muy pocos."

Mariánské Lázně is a spa town in the Karlovy Vary region of the Czech Republic. The town, surrounded by green mountains, is a mosaic of parks and noble houses. Most of its buildings come from the town's Golden Era in the second half of the 19th century, when many celebrities and top European rulers came to enjoy the curative carbon dioxide springs.
There are a few spa houses in the town that are abandoned and passing time is slowly destroying them...
FERNANDO AMORSOLO (1892 - 1972)
Evening Meal on a Raft House
Estimate: PHP 7,500,000 - 8,000,000
Signed and dated '1933' (lower right)
Oil on canvas
38 x 46 cm (15 x 18 in)
Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity issued and signed by Sylvia Amorsolo-Lazo
National Artist Fernando Amorsolo’s impressive and extensive oeuvre single-handedly reshaped the standards of genre painting in the country — his techniques and utilization of the academic style becoming the norm during and long after his lifetime.
Having temporarily lived in the coastal town of Daet in his childhood served as early exposure to the delights of rural living for the young Amorsolo, which clearly manifests in the lot on offer. Painted in 1933, during the master’s so-called “Golden Era,” Evening Meal on a Raft House is a rare and captivating example of the artist’s idyllic figurative style showing subject matter that hearkens back to simpler and more peaceful times. Central to the painting is a family of four settling down for their evening meal in the light of the setting sun. They reside in a bamboo raft house, where a fishing boat can be seen anchored on the far left, thus clueing the viewer that Amorsolo is depicting a family of fisherfolk. What makes this artwork so collectible is its departure from usual motifs — here, instead of daytime scenes featuring farmers toiling in the fields and women bathing or washing clothes in the riverside, the artist instead chooses to illustrate fishermen winding down to rest with their families at the end of the day. The influence of Impressionism and the artist’s mastery over oil painting is clearly exhibited in the carefully painted dapples of light shining off the water, and in the distorted reflection of the hut in the ocean. The romantic atmosphere that would dominate his later works is evidenced by the gentle hues of the cloudy sky — rendered in a soft hued symphony of orange, blue, and white — amplifying the dream-like calm that settles over the scene, and embodying the innocent charm and delicacy that makes Amorsolo’s works so embedded in the Filipino consciousness and beloved by collectors the world over.

Diocese of Manchester annual awards ceremony at Bishops Court, Manchester. Picture by Paul Heyes, Monday October 15, 2018.
My father was slaughtered by a six-fingered man. He was a great swordmaker, my father. When the six-fingered man appeared and requested a special sword. My father took the job. He slaved a year before it was done...
...The six-fingered man returned and demanded it, but at one tenth his promised price, my father refused. Without a word, the six-fingered man slashed him through the heart. I loved my father. So naturally, I challenged his murderer to a duel. I failed. The six-fingered man left me alive, but he gave me these scars...
...I was eleven years old. And when I was strong enough, I dedicated my life to the study of fencing. So the next time we meet, I will not fail. I will go up to the six-fingered man and say, "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
Can anyone name the movie? Its a good one! Here is my picture to go along with the quotes!

Hija de Sean Penn y Robin Wright, de tan solo 23 años, 1,70 metros de altura, melena rubia, ojazos azul verdosos y de rostro encantador. Está claro que Dylan Penn tiene contacto y físico para convertirse en una chica de moda a poco que se sitúe bien y sepa defenderse. La duda es si lo logrará. Por el momento su estilo es bastante correcto, lejos de prometer por algún detalle especial.
Un romance con el vampiro
Dylan Penn logró situarse en el centro de la diana el año pasado gracias a un romance fugaz con Robert Pattinson. 2013 fue el año en que la estadounidense debutó en el mundo de la moda pero su verdadera explosión fue con las revistas para hombres. En especial dos: GQ le dedicó un editorial destinado al público masculino y luego vendría Treats con una portada desnuda.
La moda con la boca pequeña
Dylan Penn quiere ser actriz y modelo, una duplicidad de carreras ya habitual entre tantos rostros amables; considerando modelo como imagen de marca o de revistas, las pasarelas ni mentarlas. La joven empezó en 2013 gracias a una campaña para Gap bastante discreta. Está en la nómina de DT Model y de Premier Model.
Ahora vemos cómo le sigue The Hip Tee. La marca española ha hecho un fichaje de altura para el tipo de firma que son y el tiempo que llevan en activo (desde 2009). Es una unión en la que ganan ambas, tanto modelo como marca. Dylan Penn sigue experimentando con nuevos proyectos y The Hip Tee tiene a un rostro joven con proyección internacional y bien situada.
Dylan Penn se suma en la campaña Otoño-Invierno 2014/2015 a la lista de mujeres que han sido imágenes para The Hip Tee con Eugenia Silva, Laura Ponte y Sara Carbonero entre las más reconocidas.
El estilo de fiesta de Dylan Penn
Por ahora hemos visto poco a Dylan Penn de fiesta pero ya llegarán más eventos. Si quiere ser mujer de moda le tocará cumplir agenda y pasarse por todos los photocalls. El último ha sido la fiesta de Maxim para la cual escogió un top y una falda de Herve Leger by Max Azria. De nuevo sin mucho encanto.
A sus 23 años tiene la habilidad para sumarse otros pocos con vestidos como este estampado de Diane von Furstenberg.
La firma de la presidenta del CFDA es habitual en sus looks. Uno más, esta vez con un vestido de finos tirantes, un estilo efectista y básico que triunfaría con una mejor percha.
El estilo festivo de Dylan Penn es muy comedido y aburrido, con las firmas de siempre y con un tipo de prendas, cortes y estampados que suman demasiados años. Le hace falta una renovación.
Los básicos de calle
Dentro de unos meses nos acordaremos de estos looks cuando veamos el cambio que irá dando Dylan Penn para buscar ideas a la última tendencia.
La moda tiene una nueva candidata para reformar, a ver cómo acaba lográndolo.
A poco que se le pegue el estilo de su madre, Robin Wright tiene mucho ganado.
¿Relevo generacional? Por el momento, no.

Icelandic Monasteries
Icelandic medieval monasteries served as a refuge for men and women who wanted to dedicate their lives to God. In addition to holding a number of religious services throughout the day the monasteries served a practical purpose in society. They played an active role in the local community through the provision of education, aiding the poor and nursing the old and infirm. Monasteries were the cultural focal points of the Middle Ages along with bishopries. Book-making and writing took place there.
Two monastic orders
In the Middle Ages there were two main monastic orders in Iceland, the order of Benedict and Augustine. The first monastery in Iceland was founded in Þingeyrar in Northwest Iceland in 1133. It was Benedictine. The first Augustine monastery was founded in Flatey in Breiðarfjördur in west Iceland in 1172 but was moved to Helgafell twelve years later. There are nine known monasteries in Iceland though some sources suggest there might have been more. Skriðuklaustur was the last medieval monastery founded in Iceland in 1493.
The Augustine monasteries role in society
There was a marked difference between the two monastic orders in Iceland. In the Benedictine monasteries the monks and nuns devoted their lives almost exclusively to praying and praising God. In the Augustine monasteries the monks were educated priests called canons and the clerics in charge called priors. The Augustine religious regime was not as strict as in the Benedictine monasteries. Instead, they had an obligation to serve society. Among other things, they had to welcome pilgrims and look after the sick, as well as run schools.
sagatrail.is/index.php/en/24-klosterskriduklaustur
In 1493 an Augustinian monastery was founded at Skriða in Fljótsdalur (Skriðuklaustur = Skriða Monastery). It remained active until the monasteries were dissolved at the Reformation in 1550. Archaeological excavations on the monastery site since 2002 have revealed extensive buildings on a site 1,200m2 in area. The buildings indicate that the one of the monastery’s main functions was to aid the sick and poor. In the Gunnar Gunnarsson House is an exhibition on the monastery of Skriða, including archaeological finds. There are guided tours around the archaeological site every day in the summer, other times by arrangement.
Heilagur Ágústínus
Heilagur Ágústínus fæddist í Tagaste, þar sem nú er Alsír, þann 13. nóvember árið 354. Árið 387 var hann skírður í Mílanó af Ambrósíusi biskupi eftir merkilega trúarreynslu. Hann sat í garði í þungum þönkum og sorgmæddur yfir slæmsku heimsins, þegar hann heyrði börn að leik kalla út um glugga „Tolle lege, tolle lege“ sem þýðir „taktu og lestu“. Ágústínus greip biblíuna og fann: „Framgöngum sómasamlega eins og á degi, ekki í ofáti né ofdrykkju, ekki í ólifnaði né saurlífi, ekki í þrætu né öfund, heldur íklæðist Drottni Jesú Kristi, og alið ekki önn fyrir holdinu, svo að það verði til að æsa girndir.” (Rómverjabréfið 13;13) Árið 389 sneri hann aftur til Tagaste og stofnaði til klausturlífs með vinum sínum. Rit Ágústínusar eru iðulega persónuleg og lýsa hans eigin upplifun af Drottni og jafnvel verður Drottinn eins og príór í klaustri, fremstur meðal jafningja og ávallt til reiðu til þess að hjálpa þeim sem eru með honum í veröldinni. Ágústínus lést árið 430 í Hippó í Norður-Afríku þar sem hann var biskup.
See '1957, Gapinge' On Black!
My brother R behind me, my sister N seemingly holding the horse (but in reality we can discern the farmer's wife standing behind the colossal front legs of the horse...)
It's 1957, the setting is Farmer Vos's estate in Gapinge, Zeeland. We're there on holiday as we were almost every year. This time we rented half the house Vos's son Wim lived in at Vrouwenpolder. That's how we got to go to the farm.
I loved it there and went back many summers. As a teenager I stayed at the farm and helped out, even made some (little) money but, more importantly, got to frolick in the hay (literally) with the miller's daughter from next door.
Landlife was simple. In the morning we went to milk the cows before breakfast (huge pieces of white bread with porc fat, called 'reuzel'), worked on the land afterwards. If it was far off, the wife or one of the daughters would come and bring us lunch.
Living was done in the kitchen. The livingroom ('opkamer') was used only on Sundays after church, and then only if visitors came. I slept in a genuine old 'bedstee', a bed built into a cupboard in the wall, with double doors to close it off in the daytime. I'll be uploading more pictures from Vos's farm over time.
I've written about those magnificent and impressive workhorses from Zeeland before. This here is a prime example! In those days they were still in abundance all over the place and famous for their strength and character!
Ah, those were the days...
I woke up in a mental funk, I was sore, and slept way later then I should have. I ended up cleaning as fast as I could before Mom got home, and ended up riding over to the community building to pick something up. I ate cookies for breakfast on the way.
After that, I got dressed, and we went up to get some of my stuff at Jess' house. Stuff I had left from our sleepover, that I wasn't up for carrying around at old port fest. We drove all around her neighborhood looking at houses, we got lost for a while but made it out alive.
I got to see Jake for a while, we met up at DQ and just sat in the car and talked. It was good to see him, I haven't for too long.
I got home, Tess and I went on a walk and met up with Alexa who was out with a bunch of friends. We all hung out, took pictures, spent time together. It started pouring and went swimming and now Alexa and I are re watching the Heroes series.

Después de su prometedora primera entrega con ‘Castilla Drive’, Anthony Pastor vuelve a llevarnos a Trituro para un nuevo caso de la detective Sally Salinger En aquella primera entrega, ‘Castilla Drive’, que ya comentamos en Papel en Blanco, el autor nos presentaba a la protagonista, Sally Salinger, una mujer cuyo marido ha desaparecido y que tiene que tomar las riendas de su negocio, una agencia de detectives. Su primer caso era proteger a Oswaldo Brown, un hombre sin familia, que se dedica a tareas de limpieza y además es poeta, al que alguien quiere matar. ‘Castilla Drive’ resultó un interesante ejercicio de novela negra en el que destacaba el interés por el desarrollo de los personajes.
En ‘Caramelos atómicos’, la nueva entrega del particular universo de Anthony Pastor, asistimos a la continuación de los hechos sucedidos entonces: Sally ha empezado una relación con Oswaldo, pero sigue teniendo una mala relación con sus hijos, hartos de que sólo tenga tiempo para su trabajo. Mientras, consigue un nuevo caso: la mujer de Douglas Sweet, un potentado empresario local, sospecha que su marido le engaña con su ayudante Gabriela, y encarga a Sally vigilarlos. La amistad que tienen el hijo de Sweet con el de Sally complicará todo un poco más allá de lo esperable.
Siguiendo los pasos de la anterior entrega, Pastor, una vez caracterizados los personajes, puede desarrollarlos con tranquilidad. Para ello, plantea una novela gráfica dividida en tres capítulos donde estilísticamente, el autor continúa usando su particular gama de colores apagados, cercanos a los tonos pastel (que tan extraño resultan en una historia de tintes noir), en ese coloreado tan característico de rotulador que usa. El género negro sigue presente como superestructura que Pastor utiliza para sus propios fines, el conflicto entre personajes: los desencuentros entre Sally y sus hijos, la tensa relación con Oswaldo, los roces con el jefe de policía y su mujer… Y, sobre todo, el protagonismo in absentia que toma el marido desaparecido de Sally a través de las experiencias de su hijo.
‘Caramelos atómicos’, además de ser más extensa, es también una obra más movida, más rica y más vibrante que ‘Castilla Drive,’ especialmente en su capítulo final, donde la acción se precipita y en todo ello mucho tienen que ver la vieja central nuclear abandonada del pueblo y los caramelos psicotrópicos que Sweet comercializa.
Pastor ha creado un microuniverso coherente y rico, poblado por unos personajes realistas y a los que uno acaba cogiendo cariño. Seguramente ésta no será la única entrega de la detective de Trituro; esperamos con ansia más entregas.

Pannenhoef bos
Korte beschrijving
Van de veertiende tot de zeventiende eeuw werd in dit deel van Brabant de hele laag hoogveen afgegraven tot de zandondergrond. Er ontwikkelde zich moerasheide waar weinigen een bestaansgrond vonden. Vanaf 1800 werden de onafzienbare heidevelden geleidelijk ontgonnen tot cultuurland en bos. Van 1900 tot 1940 verhevigde de ontginningsintensiteit. In het kader van de werkverschaffing werden de vennen en overige lage delen opgehoogd met zand van hoge koppen als de Lokkerberg.
Door het verbreden en verdiepen van het beekje de Bijloop werd het gebied ontwaterd. Op de drooggevallen venbodem van De Lokker ontwikkelde zich natte heide, rietland, gagelstruweel en moerasbos van wilgen, elzen en berken. Door het plaatsen van stuwen in de Bijloop steeg het waterpeil van deze beek aanzienlijk. De kalk- en ijzerrijke kwel van de hogere gronden werd niet langer door de beek 'weggevangen'. Het verzuurde moeras van De Lokker werd er weer mee gevoed, wat zorgde voor een herstel van de amfibienstand en een uitbreiding van planten als wateraardbei, moeraswederik en moerasviooltje. Sinds enkele jaren vliegen er weer weide- en bosbeekjuffers boven de Bijloop. Zomertaling, blauwborst, waterral en roodborsttapuit broeden er.
Toen Brabants landschap het landgoed in 1970 kon verwerven, was nog maar circa 100 hectare woeste grond over. Door geleidelijk aan landbouwgronden uit de pacht te nemen, konden wij vanaf 1995 verscheidene verdwenen vennen opnieuw uitgraven. De afgelopen 12 jaar zijn maar liefst 11 vennen uit de dood herrezen. Vele zeldzame planten keerden weer terug uit de ondergrondse zaadbank: blauwe knoop, teer guichelheil, moerashertshooi, heidekartelblad en pilvaren zijn slechts enkele voorbeelden.
Om de bijzondere plantengroei blijvend te behouden wordt er kleinschalig geplagd en begrazen Schotse hooglanders en laaglanders (Galloways) en IJslandse pony's het gebied het jaar rond. Boven de hernieuwde vennen vliegen veel libellen, waaronder bloedrode en bruinrode heidelibel. Typische heidebewoners als levendbarende hagedis, heideblauwtje en bont dikkopje kunnen weer migreren en hun populaties voorzien van 'vers bloed'.
Het hoge, droge deel van de Pannenhoef bestaat grotendeels uit bos dat qua soortensamenstelling en leeftijdsopbouw gevarieerd is en veel dood hout kent. Dat vertaalt zich in een hoge broeddichtheid van zangvogels en spechten.
Het open weidegebied het Rondgors moet een verbindingsschakel worden tussen de Pannenhoef en de Vloeiweide. Bij piekafvoeren krijgt het tevens een waterbergingsfunctie. De voormalige gemeentebossen van Etten-Leur vormen een belangrijke droge verbindingsschakel tussen beide landgoederen.

Observatory Avenue terminates in the heart of Ault Park - the fourth largest park in Cincinnati with its 223.949 acres.
Providing picnic facilities, nature trails, and children's play areas, Ault Park adds to its attractions with a splendid Pavilion and lookout point and beautiful gardens.
The Pavilion, dedicated in 1930 with ceremonies arranged by the Mount Lookout Civic Club and other organizations in Cincinnati's East End, has an entrance consisting of a broad, double flight of steps, between which flows a water cascade. At the top of the steps you see the Pavilion's artistic columns outlined against the sky. From the Lookout on the Pavilion roof you can enjoy a 360 degree view - many miles of changing vistas in all directions. You can spot, also, from the Lookout, the Little Miami River flowing in its broad valley where once flowed the Ohio River itself in the pre-glacial age. Ault Park, like Alms, was once a vineyard area.
Ault Park is named in memory of Ida May Ault and Levi Addison Ault, her husband, a former Park Commissioner who was prominently active in Cincinnati Parks development. The initial 142-acre tract in 1911 and 9 subsequent acquisitions were gifts of the Aults to the City of Cincinnati. Two other fractional-acreage tracts were given by W.E. Harmon and Paul C. Kunkel and others.

From Inside Line (http://www.insideline.com/nissan/altima/2007/first-drive-2007-nissan-altima.html) -
All-new from the platform up
Starting with an all-new "D" platform, Nissan lowered the engine, upgraded the front suspension geometry and improved the shock absorbers for better steering response and handling. The new engine location allows the half shafts to be mounted at equal angles to reduce torque steer, while a new upper cowl structure provides increased rigidity at the front-suspension mounting points. The rear suspension continues to use an independent, multilink design and antiroll bars are mounted at both ends of the car.
Base Altimas utilize 16-inch steel wheels with 215/60 tires, but 17-inch alloys wearing 215/55 tires are available on the 3.5 SE models. The 3.5 SE also features a sport-tuned suspension and larger antiroll bars. Much of the 2007 Altima's improved rigidity comes via the use of high-strength steel throughout the platform, as well as a 1-inch-shorter wheelbase. Despite these structural gains the new model is only 55 pounds heavier than the current car.
With a proclaimed engineering target of creating "the best performing front-wheel-drive sedan in the world," we had rather high expectations for the new Altima. What we got was a noticeable uptick in steering feel and feedback and an overall sharper, more nimble car. The improved front suspension tuning, along with the new speed-sensitive, power rack and pinion steering system, provides a precise and linear steering response that rivals the class leader in this area — Honda's Accord.
A Manila tambol aparador / armoire
Estimate: PHP 1,200,000 - 1,300,000
2nd Quarter, 19th century
Manila
Narra and kamagong wood, bone, kamagong and lanite inlays, silver mounts
196 x 125 x 51.5 cm (77 x 49 x 20 in)
Kamagong wood was very scarce and expensive even over 170 years ago. Artisans would combine it with narra wood not only for those restrictive reasons but also to create an attractive and contrasting color effect. Originally made in Manila, this style subsequently spawned several variations – from Bulacan and Ilocos in the north to Laguna in the south – each with vernacular modifications. However, only the wealthiest who could afford such luxury furniture had them in their homes.
Classical Greek, Roman and Egyptian motifs are clearly evident, aside from the contrasting wood color of the dark kamagong frame and honey-brown narra centers that became de rigueur again in the early 19th century. The top frieze is inlaid on three sides, with scrolling leaves and flowers centering a large honeysuckle flower. The effect of using big-sized and light brown-colored lanite inlays against dark kamagong background is reminiscent of the oyster veneer, a decorative technique popular in England in the 17th century. The half-round pilaster columns, inlaid border inlays on the doors, the large foliated flower on the beaded apron, and the lotiform feet have been masterly executed. Opening the doors with turned kamagong pulls with silver centers and a spade-shaped silver escutcheon reveals four shelves and four drawers with knob pulls. This type of aparador remains scarce and highly desirable.

A 60-foot granite monument, dedicated in 1932, is perched atop 90-foot-tall Kill Devil Hill, North Carolina commemorating the achievement of the Wright brothers. They conducted many of their glider tests on the massive shifting dune that was later stabilized to form Kill Devil Hill. Inscribed in capital letters along the base of the memorial tower is the phrase "In commemoration of the conquest of the air by the brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright conceived by genius achieved by dauntless resolution and unconquerable faith." Atop the tower is a marine beacon, similar to one found in a lighthouse, that was installed to make the monument more "functional".
The tower was designed by Rodgers and Poor, a New York architectural firm; the design was officially selected on February 14, 1930. Prior to the memorial's construction, the War Department selected Captain William H. Kindervater of the Quartermaster Corps to prepare the site for construction and to manage the area landscaping. To secure the sandy foundation, Captain Kindervater selected bermuda grass to be planted on Kill Devil Hill and the surrounding area. He also ordered a special fertilizer to be spread throughout the area to promote grass and shrubbery growth and decided to build a fence to prevent animal grazing. With a strong foundation in place, the Office of the Quartermaster selected Marine Captain John A. Gilman to preside over the construction project. Construction began in October 1931 and with a budget of $213,000, the memorial was completed in November 1932. In the end, 1,200 tons of granite, more than 2,000 tons of gravel, more than 800 tons of sand and almost 400 tons of cement were used to build the structure, along with numerous other materials.

Photo 169/365 - 18 June 2010.
Finally! This has been delayed a good 4 weeks but it is finally here.
Quite a few weeks ago we put an order in for a new car for my wife. It was originally due in mid-May but there was a delay and the ship finally berthed in 9th June and tonight we got our hands on it.
It could not come soon enough to be honest, her old car was barely going to make it for the trade in. Seriously in the past 10 days things were breaking, we don't even have working door handles on that car anymore! The plastic on the driver side door handle broke and the only way to get in the car was to leave a window open wide enough to stick our arm in.
I duly informed the dealer that yes, it is broken, and yes, I understand they will take some money off the pittance of a trade in value. We had about 2 or 3 separate conversations about that, and when we got there tonight, they didn't mention it so I kind of "forgot" to mention it too. :)
So today I thought to commemorate getting rid of the wife's old bomb and getting this brand new chariot, a funky shot is appropriate. And oh yeah, here's to being in debt for a long time!

The beautiful Sacred Heart Cathedral was designed by the architect W Tappin in 1887. The architectural style is English Gothic.
The cathedral is the largest cathedral outside Melbourne and reputedly the last Early Gothic style cathedral built in the world. Construction began in 1896 and continued until 1908 before lapsing through lack of funds until 1954 when work recommenced.
It was completed in 1977. Dominating the Bendigo skyline, it is built of Geelong sandstone and the tallest spire is 86.6 metres with the bronze cross at its apex weighing 3 tonnes and standing 7 metres.
