We have had a very cold spring here in Korea. There has been no sign of any blossoms or flowers yet. I was thrilled yesterday when I found a cherry blossom tree in bloom, and several magnolia trees. They were located in a very sunny protected area. I had so much fun!

About the Artist -
Statement
Alejandro Diaz is originally from San Antonio, where he developed a provocative and pertinent body of work exemplifying the complex and visually rich cultural milieu particular to South Texas and Mexico. He has lived in Mexico City, and is currently based in New York City.
Diaz is well-known for his conceptual, recurrent use of everyday materials; his humor infused politics; and his ongoing involvement with art as a form of entertainment, activism, public intervention, and free enterprise. He began making and selling his cardboard signs, “Mexican Wallpaper”, on the streets of Manhattan in the late 90s. More recently, he has translated them into a compelling series of colorful neon signs. Some of Diaz’ recent projects include a commission to create large-scale outdoor sculptures for the Public Art Fund (2005), New York’s premier presenter of public art, now part of the permanent public art collection of the City of San Antonio, on display at the San Antonio International Airport, and a public art commission for the Havana Biennial (2003). He is currently in a group exhibition at LACMA which will travel to Mexico City, San Antonio, New York, and Houston (2008-2010), and is currently in a solo exhibition at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum (2009). Most recently, he received the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award for excellence in the visual arts in 2008. Diaz has had numerous solo exhibitions, including his first at Jessica Murray Projects, NY. He has lectured on his work at the Whitney Museum of American Art and at the Drawing Center, NY.

Si amigos, hoy me he quitado la máscara para mostraros la auténtica verdad sobre mí.
Yo ya sospechaba algo de pequeño, pero mi madre siempre entre bromas me decía: "A tí te recogimos de una familia gitana..."
¡Ja! Pero no eran gitanos, ¡eran VISITANTES DEL ESPACIO EXTERIOR!
Ahora entiendo por qué me despellejaba tanto y me decían:
- Eso es del sol...
- ¿Y la piel verde que tengo debajo?
- Eso es de los flash congelados esos que te tomas niño, que tienen mucha "fuchina".
- Mamá, la lengua vale... ¿pero la piel también?
- ¡Hombreee, pos clarooo..!
Y así fueron capeando la situación hasta que descubrí la cruda realidad de mis orígenes; el por qué de mi forma de ser antisocial, esos antojos de ratones al chilindrón con berberechos a las 4 a.m. y de mis ansias de acabar con toda la raza humana...
Pero tranquilos, esfínteres relajados... porque aunque para mí sería muy fácil destruir vuestra inferior forma de vida con mi blaster de bolsillo, durante estos años he aprendido a amar cosas tan mundanas como las alpargatas de jubilado en invierno, los paseos al atardecer en bicicleta, el Santa Teresa con Coca-Cola, el pan tostao con foie-gras y todos los grandes éxitos de Camela...

Kalkan (Greek: Kalamaki) is a town on the Turkish Mediterranean coast, which averages 300 days of sunshine a year. The area includes many historical sites and many fine beaches. The word Kalkan is Turkish for 'shield'. Kalkan is an old fishing town, and the only safe harbor between Kaş and Fethiye; it is famous for its white-washed houses, descending to the sea, and its brightly colored bougainvilleas. Until the early 1920s the majority of its inhabitants were Greeks. They had to leave the town in 1923 because of the Exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey after the Greco-Turkish War. They emigrated mainly to Attica, where they founded the new town of Kalamaki. With much of the surrounding land still undeveloped and with many nearby remains of ancient civilizations, Kalkan is the ideal resort[citation needed] for those who want calm and relaxation, enjoying the natural beauty of the cleanest seashores and of rough mountains covered with pine forests, and also for those who want to explore the remains of the ancient Lycian cities in the neighborhood. Lycia, "The Land of Light", which is the first known federation in history, included the many city-states between modern-day Fethiye and Antalya, and its capital was Xanthos (Arna in Lycian language), which is Kinik today, 17 km (11 mi) from Kalkan. Kalkan was an important harbour town until the 1970s as the only seaport for the environs. It declined after construction of Fethiye road but revived after the emergence of the tourism industry in the region. Although part of the Antalya province administratively, Kalkan is connected more closely to Fethiye economically and for transportation. British newspaper The Independent listed Kalkan among the best tourist destinations for 2007. The paper recommended Kalkan especially for those seeking a romantic vacation and who do not want to travel far from their home country in Europe, and defined the town as a destination of choice.

This daisy had a surprise for any little bug passing bye! The little white spider--barely noticeable--appeared as a daisy petal even from as close as 5-6 inches! I could not make its body parts out (i was not sure if I am shooting its front or back) until I developed the pictures. Because i did not see it clear enough, I took about 100 picture sof it.. so now I have 100 perfectly clear and sharp monsters on my computer hard drive! =) I suppose its mother would think it is cute!
Details: Canon 7D with Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM at f4.0 with shutter speed of 1/1000 at ISO 100 and I had the white balance on manual with an exposure bias of +2/3 EV. I am actually experimenting with white balance now to see what surfaces in what light will need an increase of exposure. I am amazed to find that it is the very light in high sun that need an exposure increase but subjects in the shade, if given an exposure increase, tend to bleach out. I find this counter intuitive... I will have to study up on the matter. =)
I did most of the picture developing in Lightroom 3 and the vignetted cutout in Onone's PhotoTools using a preset (available at OnOne's website). I used CS5 only to convert from TIFF to JPG and add my copyright stuff.

not so successful dog class yesterday.
still taking matea weekly to classes to help her overcome her fear issues...and to improve my handling skills when around other dogs.
because her issue with other dogs is based on fear (thank you dog parks!), my trainer is trying to convince me to not come down on matea for attempting to go for a dog, but instead to work on her focus on me (which i totally have unless a dominant dog comes along) and that if an incident DOES occur that i'm to work on 'recovery' more than anything. for instance, when matea wouldn't take shit from cheryl (the trainer)'s jack russell some weeks ago and went for the little tart, cheryl simply pulled matea off, held her for three seconds by the beard, and then - in a very happy voice - said: "okay, let's play!"
at the time, i didn't feel that was enough. matea is a black and white dog. she NEEDS extreme positive AND negative for her to understand definitions and boundaries. i learned this early on in my training with her, when eight months of positive-only training got me nothing but a dog requiring constant food-lures...but when outdoors or otherwise distracted, let me tell you, a bleeding strip of sirloin ain't gonna capture her attention.
she's a wirehaired pointer. i talk to other GWP owners on a group, and i hear over and over again that these are not typical dogs, that they aren't the kind of dog most trainers are accustomed to. i'm tending to agree.
so...yesterday, i was at class, on the bench at the far side of the classroom, getting treats ready, when in comes this nitwit woman (i won't speak of race because i'll only come across as racist...but suffice it to say, she was in her own world with her own language, and was utterly oblivious to others in the class)...well, in fact, it wasn't her coming in...it was her dog hauling her in...a chow cross, i heard her say to someone else, but it looked like a chow/jindo dog...tall, muscular, 1 1/2 times matea's size, tail erect and clearly dominant. (in fact, i saw his dominance very clearly at the end of class with another dog.) he barges through the door, dragging his owner behind him, at the end of his 6' leash, making a diagonal, bee-line right for matea across the classroom. even one of the regular students (a woman who helps with a LOT of the training classes and has a lot of respect for matea) told me afterwards that she couldn't believe what was going on. AND she said that her rottie, too, perked up the second the dog blasted into class because of its attitude.
the owner - completely in her own oblivious, self-absorbed, ignorant world - didn't even seem to notice, or care, that her dog had practically charged matea and was on her ass. the most i could do was stand and try to push the dog away. i should have been more forceful. i should have said something to the woman beforehand, but i don't want to make waves in the class.
still, the dipshit didn't even notice, and the dog was dragged away only slightly because she was trying to make her way to the bench to ready herself for class. it was at that point that matea lunged. yes, i caught her in time. in fact, the rottie-handler (after class) praised me for my handling of the situation.
but here's the thing... my gut reaction is to put matea down, to make sure she knows - without a doubt - that lunging at dogs, regardless of the dog, is NOT appropriate. a three-second censure, get her attention on me, show her my disapproval, and THEN focus on recovery. but no....cheryl swoops in, all positive and happy, trying - with great difficulty - to draw matea's attention from the other dog. she'a fucking GWP!!! no WAY is ANYONE or ANYTHING getting her attention off that 'threat' in any manner. i know she's a dog...i know a lot of her character is not unique, but i've yet to find a trainer who's actually had experience with this breed and its drives. and let me tell you, it IS a drive unlike any other.
my legs were shaking, i felt like crying, and i just wanted to leave. of course, the oblivious owner quickly moved to the other side of the classroom like *I* was the only one with an out-of-control dog. and then, even as i was trying to work with matea, to regain her focus in spite of the other dog's presence, the dipshit STILL continued to ignore her dog. it sat behind her (yes, her back turned to her own dog), its leash lying on the floor, again completely oblivious. the dog would have been on top of matea before the woman ever even realized he'd broken his stay.
i'm angry. i'm disappointed. i'm seeing matea acting out more in class, not less. i need to talk to cheryl, to hopefully convince her that, in spite of her years of experience, she HASN'T seen everything, that she hasn't worked with every kind of dog....and to maybe convince her that i might just know more in regards to my GWP.
seriously, as much as i adore cesar millan, if he offered to take matea for a period of time, i wouldn't let him. i feel that although he and others are obviously FAR more experienced than i am, they don't know this kind of dog...that even though matea's never hurt another dog, most trainers would underestimate her potential to do so, they would underestimate her drive to make a point. so....i need to sit down with cheryl again, see if anything can be done. in the meantime, i hold back my tears and love this dog in spite of the dangerous potential i know lies within her.
oh, and i also intend to discuss with cheryl that she consider addressing her students (current and future) on the proper way to bring dogs into any facility....pack leader first, goddammit. of the dogs that matea has had issue with, they're ALL the ones who drag their owners through the front door.
sorry for the dump. i guess the thing that sucks the most about this is that if not for this dog-issue of matea's, in spite of my fantastic imagination, i could NOT imagine a more perfect dog and best friend.
This is a pic I took last year of a work some friends and I made at one of ours university assingments... the idea was to preserve the image and colours of sushi but change completely his flavour ... so, we made sweet sushi of different kinds of candy available in our country.... =)
Esta foto la tome el año pasado, es de uno de los trabajos que nos dieron como tarea de uno de nuestros cursos universitarios... la idea era preservar la imagen y el color del sushi pero cambiar completamente su sabor... asi que hicimos sushi dulce, hecho a partir de distintas golosinas disponibles en nuestro pais... =)

In the spring of 2006 I spent a few weeks travelling around Sicily. Similar in appearance to the rest of Italy, yet mindfully different in many ways, the island of Sicily can at times feel worlds away from it's parent nation. Present are the Moorish influences of Northern Africa, and of the ancient Greeks whose empire once dominated the scope of the Meditteranean.
Things move at a snails pace in Sicily. No one does anything fast and strikes are commonplace making getting around challenging at times. It should all be taken in stride as Sicily is here to show us her wonder, teach us her patience, and remind us that a good simple life not need be hectic.
Today I spent the entire day with my Mommy, sister, and Grandma. We headed over to Naples and went to the zoo early because B103.9 gave everyone that came between 8-10 free admission. $80 saved, BOO-YAH! Anyways, once we left there, we went shopshopshopping. I got a ring, a necklace, and two band T-Shirts for Paramore and for Lady Gaga. Afterwards we were all tired and hungry, so we went to The Cheesecake Factory, got a table outside and ate. Wow, it was superduper good. So then we were gonna go home, but we got lost and accidentally went to the beach. We spend maybe an hour there. We just rolled up our jeans and watched the waves break and birds chill and we were happy. So then we washed off our feet, got back in the car and went to Ft. Myers. Yet again, we shopped. We went to Home Depot to look at ply-wood, fences, and lawn furniture and left with nothing. XD Then we hit up staples and bought some paper. Last but not least, we stopped at Ross and I bought 2 beach dresses and a pair of headphones. On the way home we bought Sushi at Publix because my sister can't pass there without wanting some. In the same plaza was a frozen yogurt place so we were like "Okay, lets get some." We go inside, get our yogurt and toppings and the freaking bill was $18! That was only for two. I was like wowwwwww, I'm never gonna stop there again. Haha, so yeah, it was a long and amazing day.♥
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.
Coulée Verte, Saint-Lambert, Québec
- Saint-Lambert, Québec, Canada
- June 4, 2009 / Le 4 juin, 2009
- Ce sentier très court tout près de chez moi est un parc linéaire nommé Coulée Verte. D'un côté, il y a un petit parc et ensuite un petit terrain de golf. Au côté opposé, il y a un terrain pour des activités sportives et communautaires, ensuite des maisons privées dans des culs-de-sacs et puis une grande cour d'école en pelouse. Les citoyens de Saint-Lambert se débattent sans cesse avec la ville pour préserver ces espaces verts mais on les perd petit-à petit.
- This very short trail near my home is a linear park called Coulée Verte. To one side, there is a small park and then a small golf course. On the opposite side, there is land for sports and community activities, then some private homes on dead-end streets (cul-de-sac, the l is not pronounced) and a large grassed school yard. Saint-Lambert citizens are endlessly fighting the city to preserve these green spaces but we are slowly losing them.
The first "Zero" was flown in April 1939. Mitsubishi and Nakajima built 10,500 "Zero" fighters, the most of any type of Japanese Aircraft. The single seat fighter is light weight all metal with fabric covered control surfaces. Five hundred and sixty of the model 22's were built between December of 1942 (after the Battle of Midway) and summer of 1943. The newer model had longer wings and folding wing tips so that it could be launched from Japanese aiecraft carriers. It also had a longer range and more powerful engine than previous models.
Operating Characteristics:
Max speed 388 mph at 19,600 feet
Ceiling 36,250 feet
Range Normal 1,160 miles Max 1,930
Armament 2 7.7 type 97 m/c guns in the upper fuselage decking and 2 20 mm cannons in the wings
Power plant 1,130 HP Nakajima NKIF Sakae 21 air cooled 14 cylinder engine.

Yesterday I saw this modest Ferrari, parked tight between other cars, and at first I wasn't that creative with taking pictures of it.
So, I've tried to do something different from what I use to do here.
The car was quite dirty, had lost some of its shine and had a dent just before its front wheel.
The light was actually quite nice though, so I thought this shot fitted the car very well.
The Ferrari 328 GTS is the targa version of the fixed roof 328 GTB.
The GTB referred to the Gran Turismo Berlinetta (coupé) body while the GTS was a Gran Turismo Spider (targa top).
The 328 GTS and GTB were the final developments of the normally aspirated transverse V8 engine 2 seat series.
The 328 figures in the model title referred to the total cubic capacity of the engine, 3.2 litres, and 8 for the number of cylinders. The new model was introduced at the 1985 Frankfurt Salon alongside the Mondial 3.2 series.

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!”

ملتقى الفجيرة الإعلامي الخامس يفتتح أعماله ياستعراض ماتواجهه المرأة من تحديات في ساحة الإعلام
محمود علام - الفجيرة - خاص بـ " وكالة أخبار المرأة "
wonews.net/ar/index.php?act=post&id=11613
بدأت صباح اليوم جلسات ملتقى الفجيرة الإعلامي في دورته الخامسة تحت رعاية سمو الشيخ محمد بن حمد الشرقي ولي عهد الفجيرة وبحضور سمو الشيخ الدكتور راشد بن حمد الشرقي رئيس هيئة الفجيرة للثقافة والإعلام التي تنظم الملتقى سنويا للنقاش حول قضايا الساحة الإعلامية في الوطن العربي حيث انعقدت الدورة الجديدة تحت عنوان :"المرأة والإعلام ... الصورة الأخرى" وتمت خلال جلستي اليوم الأول استعراض التحديات التي تواجهها المرأة العربية العاملة في المجالات الإعلامية
وحضر حفل الافتتاح الأميرة ريم العلي رئيسة المعهد الأردني للإعلام والمهندس محمد سيف الأفخم عضو مجلس إدارة هيئة الفجيرة للثقافة والإعلام وإبراهيم العابد مدير المجلس الوطني للإعلام وعدد من المسؤولين ونخبة من الإعلاميين والخبراء المتميزين من الدول العربية والأجنبية إضافة إلى حضور واسع لأبرز الوجوه الإعلامية والثقافية والفنية والمؤسسات الإعلامية.
وفي كلمة افتتاحية ألقاها سعادة المهندس محمد سيف الأفخم عضو مجلس إدارة الهيئة كلمة قال :" ها نحن نشهد الدورة الخامسة لملتقى الفجيرة الإعلامي الذي يحتفي بالمرأة ودورها الفعّال في وسائل الإعلام إدارةً وتنفيذاً، وإعداداً وتقديما،ً من خلال مجموعة من المحاور المهمة، التي ستكون مدار نقاش وتحليل من قبلكم خلال اليوم والغد، ولا سيما أن المرأة في دولة الإمارات، ولله الحمد، قد حققت الكثير من الإنجازات، ولها مكانتها الخاصة، ودورها المميز في المؤسسات الإعلامية، وفي مختلف مناحي العمل، وهنا نستذكر الدور الريادي لسمو الشيخة فاطمة بنت مبارك، أم الإمارات، وصاحبة المبادرات الخيرة والمشاريع الداعمة للمرأة الإماراتية في شتى القطاعات." وأضاف الأفخم : "إنه من يُمن الطالع أن ينعقد هذا الملتقى في ذكرى مرور أربعين عاماً على تولي صاحب السمو الشيخ حمد بن محمد الشرقي مقاليد الحكم في إمارة الفجيرة، فهو الراعي لمسيرة هذه الإمارة في شتى المجالات، ونخصّ هنا قطاع الثقافة والإعلام الذي وجد الدعم الكبير أيضاً، والمتابعة المستمرة من سمو الشيخ محمد بن حمد الشرقي ولي العهد الذي يحرص في كل دورة للملتقى منذ انطلاقته على الرعاية والحضور" .
وأشار الأفخم الى أن هيئة الفجيرة للثقافة والإعلام من خلال هذا الملتقى الإعلامي السنوي تركز على طرح موضوعات مثيرة للنقاش، وذات بعد حيوي ولها علاقة مباشرة بالحياة اليومية، بعيداً عن التنظير الأكاديمي، والجفاف البحثي المحصور بقاعات الدرس والكتب، إذ إنها من خلال استضافة نخبة من الضيوف المتخصصين، تحاول أن تثري الموضوعات المطروحة، وتتيح المجال لطلبة أقسام الإعلام بالتماسّ المباشر مع الإعلاميين المعروفين، والإستفادة من خبراتهم، لاسيما وأن إمارة الفجيرة، تتميز بوجود ثلاث كليات إعلام، تخرّج الطلبة الذين يساهمون في المشهد الإعلامي في دولة الإمارات، إضافة إلى وجود " مجموعة الفجيرة للإعلام " التي تضم عدداً كبيراً من الشركات والمؤسسات العاملة في هذا الحقل، كما أطلقنا جائزة الفجيرة للتصوير الصحفي "فيبكوم" الدولية في دورتها الأولى، والتي توجت العلاقة مع وكالة الصحافة الفرنسية " فرانس برس، وما يزال موقع " الفجيرة نيوز " الإخباري منذ أكثر من ثلاث سنوات فاعلاً وينقل صورة حية عما يجري في الإمارة من مشاريع وخطط وفعاليات متنوعة " .
وحول خطط الهيئة ومشاريعها المستقبلية ختم الأفخم بالقول " لقد توصلنا إلى مجموعة من الفعاليات ذات البعد العربي و الدولي، وفي الوقت نفسه لها الأثر في مسيرة المجتمع، ومن بينها على سبيل المثال: "مهرجان الفجيرة الدولي للمونودراما"، و " ملتقى الفجيرة للربابة " و " مهرجان المسرح المدرسي " فضلاً عن المسابقة الدولية لنصوص الموندراما باللغة العربية، "، وجائزة الفجيرة للتصوير الضوئي، كما أن ثمار شراكتنا الإعلامية مع معهد الإعلام الأردني قد أينعت ثمارها بتخرج أول طالبة ماجستير إعلام من الفجيرة في هذا المعهد مؤخراً، ومن جهة أخرى وبخصوص الخطة المستقبلية للهيئة فإننا سننظم " ملتقى الفجيرة الفكري الأول " قريباً، وسنصدر أيضاً العدد الأول من مجلة " الفجيرة الثقافية " الفصلية لتكون منبرا عربيا للفكر والإبداع والفنون تضاف إلى مثيلاتها من المجلات العربية المرموقة، وتشمل الخطط المستقبلية القريبة إقامة مهرجان الفجيرة للموسيقى، وملتقى الفنون التشكيلية والنحت بمشاركات عربية ودولية واسعة" .
كما تحدث في الجلسة الإفتتاحية للملتقى سعادة إبراهيم العابد مدير عام المجلس الوطني للإعلام موضحا أن دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة لم تكن أبدا بمنآى عن النقاشات التي تدور عالميا حول المرأة والإعلام حيث كانت هذه القضية ولا تزال تحظى باهتمام كبير على مستوى القيادة العليا والأجهزة الإعلامية ومؤسسات التعليم العالي. فخلال العقدين الماضيين، وبرعاية كريمة من سمو الشيخة فاطمة بنت مبارك، رئيسة الاتحاد النسائي العام،الرئيسة الأعلى لمؤسسة التنمية الأسرية، رئيسة المجلس الأعلى للأمومة والطفولة، ، شهدت قضية المرأة والإعلام زخما كبيرا امتد إلى الساحتين العالمية والعربية مما ساهم في تدعيم حضور المرأة على الساحة الإعلامية وتمتعها بصورة ايجابية تليق بانجازاتها الكبيرة في مجالات الحياة المعاصرة،وهو ما مكّن من إطلاق العديد من المبادرات الوطنية والإقليمية للنهوض بالمرأة في القطاع الإعلامي سواء على مستوى تقديم صورة إعلامية منصفه لها أو مشاركتها المهنية في العمل الإعلامي"
وأضاف العابد " على الرغم من غياب التوثيق المنهجي المناسب للإنجازات المتحققة في تناول الإعلام الوطني لقضايا المرأة وحضور المرأة في الفضاء الإعلامي، فإننا نلاحظ مؤشرات على وجود اتجاهات إيجابية مبشرة في مجال تمكين المرأة من لعب دور أكثر فاعلية وتحقيق صورة أكثر إيجابية لها. فقد بتنا نلاحظ ارتفاع مستوى حضور المرأة في الإمارات في الساحة الإعلامية سواء على مستوى المناصب القيادية العليا، أو على مستوى العمل الصحفي أو الإعلامي في وظائفه المختلفة وكذلك وجود عدة دوريات متخصصة بقضايا المرأة تلاقي جمهورا عريضا من القراء ليس فقط في الدولة بل في العديد من الدول العربية الشقيقة .
وقد ساهمت وسائل الإعلام الوطنية في دولة الإمارات خلال السنوات الماضية في إبراز إنجازات المرأة من خلال صيغ وأشكال إعلامية وصحفية متنوعة مثل التغطيات الإخبارية للقضايا والفعاليات التي تشكل النساء عنصرا مهماً فيها، والتحقيقات والأعمدة الصحفية التي تبرز قضايا وتحديات تهم المرأة في الإمارات ، والبرامج الإذاعية والتلفزيونية.
كما خصصت معظم وسائل الإعلام الوطنية وخاصة الصحف اليوميه ملاحق وزوايا خاصة بشؤون المرأة تركز على إبداعاتها الفنية والأدبية والفكرية والتربوية، وتفتح لها المجال للتعبير عن رأيها في القضايا المختلفة.كما عملت المحطات التلفزيونية من خلال برامجها المخصصة للمرأة أو للقضايا الإجتماعية بعامة لاستضافة نساء من مختلف مشارب الحياة للتحدث حول قضايا تخص الشأن العام أو تتعلق أساسا بواقع المرأة في الدولة". صورة المرأة في الإعلام" مداخلات معمقة لكل من " : أ. صلاح الدين معاوي ( تونس) ، مدير عام اتحاد إذاعات الدول العربية ((ASBU ، (صورة المرأة في الإعلام العربي)،أ. كرم نعمة ( بريطانيا)، مدير تحرير صحيفة العرب اللندنية، (صورة المرأة في الإعلام الأجنبي)، د.حصة لوتاه (الإمارات) ، كاتبة واعلامية (تسليع المرأة في عالم الإعلان)، د. إبتهال الخطيب ( الكويت )، أكاديمية وكاتبة في جريدة الجريدة الكويتية. (صورة المرأة في الإعلام والتحديات التي تواجهها)، د. خيرية البشلاوي ( مصر)، ناقدة وكاتبة (صورة المرأة في الدراما العربية).
كما شهد ت الجلسة الافتتاحية عرض فلم عن الفجيرة بمناسبة مرور اربعين عاما على تولي صاحب السمو الشيخ حمد بن محمد الشرقي عضو المجلس الأعلى حاكم الفجيرة مقاليد الحكم في الإمارة
كما قام سمو الشيخ ................ترافقه سمو الأميرة ريم العلي بافتتاح معرض التصوير الصحفي الخاص بجائزة الفجيرة للتصوير الصحفي " فيبكوم " والذي ضم ما يزيد عن الستين صورة ، وهو المعرض الذي تم افتتاحه في باريس سابقا بحضور سمو الشيخ محمد بن حمد الشرقي ولي عهد الفجيرة ، وتوزيع الجوائز على الفائزين من دول مختلفة.
We all have some loads to carry -- that's the nature of life. And sometimes it's so heavy that it takes everything we've got to keep from dropping it or caving in beneath the weight. This might be one of those seasons of heavy burdens for you. I've got some good news for you -- news that's contained in our word for today from the Word of God in 1 Corinthians 10:13. Here's your Heavenly Father's promise: "God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted" -- that word can also be translated "tested" -- "beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."
Your Father in heaven who loves you infinitely and knows you completely. Everything that comes into your life as a child of God has to be Father-filtered first. Whether your Father sends it or allows it, no burden or temptation can come into your life unless He has first signed off on it. Now, will He allow burdens that take you to the limit? Yes. Ask any athlete who's ever used the weight room -- the only way you can get stronger is if you have to lift something heavier than you've lifted before. But God knows your limit, and while He may allow you to go the edge so you can experience His power, He will never allow you to go over the edge.
If you're having to carry something really heavy right now, realize that you're indeed being trusted by God with this burden. He believes you can handle it, with His unlimited power as your strength. He believes you won't let Him down. And He knows you will emerge from this struggle stronger and more valuable than you've ever been.
Your Father loves you. Your Father knows what you can handle. He knows what He can trust you with. There's something much bigger, something much more eternal going on here than you can possibly imagine -- maybe even a contest over you between the devil and God Himself. Carry your burden faithfully, with undiminished allegiance to your Lord and daily downloading of the mighty grace of God. And as your Father hands you today's load to carry, be sure that He knows how much you can handle -- and He'll never give you more than you can carry.

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.

201 años dempués de la declaración de soberanía de 1808 Fai! quixo recordar esti 25 de mayu como'l día nacional d'Asturies. Pa ello, entamóse una folixa que cuntó con un recital poéticu, la ellaboración d'un mural y un conciertu con 4 grupos asturianos que punxeron la banda sonora a una xornada reivindicativa pola soberanía popular asturiana.
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.

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?

A rare Batangas 'Olympic' altar table
Estimate: PHP 1,000,000 - 1,200,000
19th century
Batangas
Balayong, kamagong and lanite inlays, brass hardware
92.5 x 129 x 63 cm (36 x 50 x 25 in)
Provenance:
Formerly from the family of Rosita Mercado of Lemery, Batangas
A type of decorative running ornament that features two intertwining bands that repeat in a pattern of crossing intervals was found in ancient Assyrian architecture, continued through the classical world of Greek and Roman culture, then became known in 18th century France as guilloche and spread through the Georgian period in England. It symbolized unity and eternity. In furniture, they were often botanically inspired, but also appeared as waves, snowflakes, ribbons and - in the case of this altar table - as interlocking rings colloquially known in the Philippines as ‘Olympic’ motif, in reference to Olympic ring symbol originally created in 1913 by Pierre de Coubertin.
Positioned in the most prestigious place in the main living room of a colonial house, it was on altar tables like this wherein the family’s venerated santo images were enshrined and prayed upon; prayer books, rosaries, candles, santo vestments, and other important paraphernalia were kept in the drawers. It is made entirely of dark balayong wood (Afzelia Rhomboidea), a type of highly prized rosewood. It has a reddish brown color that tends to darken even more with age and has natural luster. Very difficult to carve due to its durability and interlocking grain. A solid one-piece top sits on a carcase composed of two smaller drawers above one larger drawer, all fitted with silver escutcheons and hand-hammered iron drop bail handles, and inlaid with fine borders of kamagong and lanite wood looping below the keyhole and acutely concaving at the corners. The Olympic motif carved exceptionally in low-relief is featured on all four side flanges that attenuate downward with an ogee shaped extension, and is reprised on the front and side aprons to create a perfectly elegant piece of colonial furniture. The sides have carved raised center panels - another feature of high quality craftsmanship. All raised on square tapered legs.

As reported in the Gothamist this morning, almost a dozen protesters were arrested last night but not until after they were physically attacked by a man who only described himself as a resident of Wall Street.
"Minutes later, one of the residents, a short, stocky man with thinning hair got into a shouting match with a protester, and lunged after him, punching him repeatedly. NYPD officers pulled the man through the police line. He was not arrested."
And therein lies the crux of the situation and I hope these images help fill in the gaps.
This man physically assaulted protesters and not only was he not arrested but 10 minutes later he was spotted chatting it up with an NYPD police officer but when he and his provocateur friend (guy in purple shirt) realized that a camera was trained on them they dispersed and acted like they didn't know each other, disappearing into the night as the arrests continued.
One has to wonder if he was really a resident of Wall Street or an NYPD plant instructed to incite an incident so that the NYPD had a reason to start clearing out the peaceful protesters.
In this image the man is lunging towards the Occupiers as another Occupier tries to restrain him.
