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.
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.

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.

One of San Antonio’s oldest businesses has quietly disappeared from the local landscape.
The Southwell Co., which began operations a year after the Civil War ended and was best known for making thousands of historical markers for the state, was sold earlier this year and its San Antonio operations shut down.
The company, which also produced cast metal plaques and letters, was acquired by Corpus Christi Stamp Works Inc., headed Harry Lee Chester Jr., a cousin of the fourth generation of Southwells who owned The Southwell Co. The deal closed in May.
The Southwell Co. produced more than 16,000 state historical markers for the state over six decades, according to a 2016 article in the Texas Historical Commission’s quarterly magazine. The company also produced markers for other states.
The company was the only state contractor to ever make the markers. The Texas Historical Commission in August issued a request for proposals to find a successor.
The markers denote famous and consequential times and places in Texas’ history, from the site of the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836 to the Port Arthur home of famed blues singer Janis Joplin to the construction of the Majestic Theatre on Houston Street.
The company’s final years were marked by dissension among family members, with the feud spilling into court before a settlement was reached.
In the midst of the bad blood, William “Bill” P. Southwell Jr., the third generation to run the business, died June 27, 2017, at 91.
The Southwell Co.’s longtime operations on North Alamo Street have been shuttered. Calls to the office are rerouted to Corpus Christi Stamp Works, which makes plaques, metal face letter and traffic signs.
“It was sad for us to close it, but you reach a point where you can’t go on forever,” Scott Southwell said Friday about the decision to sell. He owned the business with his brother Wilson “Billy” Southwell III. “Without having any heirs to pass on the business to, and we’re both getting up there in age, it didn’t make any financial sense for us to keep working basically just to pay property taxes that had gotten so high.” Scott is 53 and Billy is 65.
“We loved the business. We loved what we did, ” Scott Southwell added. “Our product is a very special product. We loved all our employees.” He added the company assisted in helping some of the 20 employees find work with similar companies.
Chester didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Corpus Christi Stamp Works did not assume the historical marker business.
The Southwell Co. is a “natural fit” for the new owner, Scott Southwell said. “We’ve been helping them along the way. They’re doing quite well with what they bought.”
CPS Energy bought The Southwell Co. building and an adjacent building at 910 N. Alamo for just under $2.8 million in January 2018, CPS spokesman Seamus Nelson said in an email.
The buildings are next door to a CPS electrical substation, which the utility wants to expand. CPS has no particular timeline, but “because of growth in the area, the substation is being evaluated as part of our five-year planning process,” Nelson added.
In 1866, the Southwell business launched in a little shop on Commerce Street, making stencils for wool and cotton shippers. Rubber stamps and seals were later added, according to The Southwell Co.’s website.
Known as the San Antonio Rubber Stamp Co., it was acquired by George T. Southwell in 1912. His son, Wilson, took over the business in 12 years later upon George’s death.
Bill Southwell Jr., after graduating from the University of Texas at Austin, joined the family business. The company’s name was changed to The Southwell Co. in 1953, according to its website.
The company opened its plant at 928 N. Alamo in the early 1960s.
In 1977, Billy Southwell became the fourth generation to work in the family business. Twelve years later, Scott joined the company.
The Texas Historical Commission in 2016 honored The Southwell Co. with its own historical marker to honor its 150th year in business.
About 2½ years ago, the brothers were sued by their parents and sister, Deborah, 67, for fraud. The brothers were accused of persuading their parents, Bill and Phyllis Southwell, to sign documents “under duress” that turned over all of their ownership in The Southwell Co. to the brothers in 2015.
The brothers disputed the allegations, and alleged their sister exceeded her authority under a power of attorney in acting on her parent’s behalf.
Within a couple of weeks of the suit being filed, the attorneys for both sides said the dispute had been settled confidentially out of court.
A month after Bill Southwell’s death in June 2017, however, an amended lawsuit was filed against the brothers alleging they failed to pay the settlement or sign the settlement papers.
The brothers responded four day later by denying they breached the settlement agreement, and provided copies of a $100,000 check and a $400,000 check that had been cut to their father and sister, respectively.
Activity in the litigation ceased until Feb. 1, 2018 — a day after the sale of the North Alamo properties to CPS — when the case was dropped.
“We fulfilled our obligations,” Scott Southwell said of the dispute.
act on your impulse, swallow the bottle, cut a little deeper, put the gun to your chest.
i've been sitting around my house doing nothing for hours. i don't know why but i felt so tight inside, and i told my mom i was going out to take some photos just because. and the strange thing is, i felt so good just going out here and taking some shots. it really made me feel open. maybe that's what photography is supposed to do.
i took this for me. i don't know how you feel about it, but i love it.
and just because i love doing this, and getting these here is the form. i wanna know what you have to say.

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).

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!

Baby, you've been going so crazy,
Lately nothing seems to be going right.
So low, why do you have to get so low?
You're so...
You've been waiting in the sun too long.
(Chorus)
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing,
For the love you bring won't mean a thing,
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing.
Colder, crying over your shoulder,
Hold her, tell her everything's gonna be fine.
Surely, you've been going too early,
Hurry 'cos no-one's gonna be stopped.
Na na na na...
(Chorus)
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing sing, sing.
For the love you bring won't mean a thing.
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing,
Uhhh...Ahh ahh..uhhh...
Baby, there's something going on today,
But I say nothing, nothing, nothing,
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing...(fades out)
(Chorus)
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing,
For the love you bring won't mean a thing,
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing.
Ohh baby sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing,
For the love you bring won't mean a thing,
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing.
I really liked the opening in the clouds here

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?
i've always enjoyed playing around and learning different photography techniques. my first camera was very basic but that didn't stop me trying some long exposure shots. i've combined photos together in photoshop to different effect in multiple exposure shots and used other post processing tricks turning panoramas into little planets. since getting my slr camera i've been able to add hdr to my arsenal of techniques, and a remote control has changed the way i photograph the stars. a few months ago i learnt about a technique i'd never heard of - shaped bokeh. when you take a photo with a very shallow depth of field, the lens generally turns the out of focus light sources into circular shapes - like this - called bokeh. if you cut a different shape into a piece of (preferably black) paper and place this in front of the lens these circular lights adopt the new shape. i was anxious to test this out when i was in lima, so i bought some black paper at an art shop, cut some shapes with my pen knife, and headed down to the busy street below. this is one of the results of these tests. to get the best effect you need to set the focus to the foreground (accentuating the blurriess of the lights in the background) therefore a picture like this would work best if there was a subject in the foreground which i could focus on. i've been intending to get out again and try this, but haven't found the time. besides, there is something i still like about this early test, and the stars seem appropriate at this time of year. on which note... merry christmas.

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.

If you visit Lagos, in Portugal, i advise you to go the harbour and buy a "grotto tour". You will step in a small fishing boat and a local fisherman will guide around the nearby coast, amongst rock and go through caves. It's simply gorgeous !
Taking pictures was not easy as the boat was going up and down with the waves ... It;'s good to have a stabilized lens in these conditions.
more details : www.simplylagos.com/activities.htm
and a video from you tube : www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA3s3zD0WqU
When i see this video, i think i should use my camcorder much more than i currently do!
Si vous visitez Lagos au Portugal, il ne faut surtout pas rater le "grotto tour". A bord 'un petit bateau de peche, un guide va vous faire decouvrir la cote environnante, avec ses falaises, ses ilots multiples et ses grottes. Si le soleil est au rendez-vous, c'est tout simplement superbe !
Prendre des photos n'etait pas toujours simple car le bateau tanguait au rythme des vagues ... par chance mon zoom est stabilise.

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.

archive.org/search.php?query=subject:%22%20Undersea%20Kin...
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.

I was wondering yesterday why is it that Chinese girls look so young, and I think it's because here most people under 20 are still consider very young, and it's acceptable for them to like somewhat childish things. I mean that in the best sense, as in there's not so much interest starting in the early teens to start wearing make-up, dress sexy, etc. But we'll see if that changes with all these western style fashion ads and the Chinese versions of Elle and all that.
Nicole Kidman is plastered on a huge building in People Square. Doesn't damage domestic arty actress image to take commercial jobs in Asia and all that I guess. But stuff like that combined with seeing Hungarian photography (including Capa) at the Shanghai MoCA makes me wonder why I don't just see these things at the MOMA. Ah globalization. I suppose that's a very typical of a traveller though. The locals might be more interested in the imports. Today I'm hoping to go to a more local scene and see if that doesn't feel more homegrown.
Artist : Yue Minjun - China
Location : Morton Park (Triangle), Vancouver
Media : Patinated bronze
In A-maze-ing Laughter Beijing-based artist Yue Minjun depicts his own iconic laughing image, with gaping grins and closed eyes in a state of hysterical laughter. These laughing figures are the signature trademark of the artist. They are not a conventional self-portrait, as they tell us little about the person portrayed or of the reason they are laughing so hysterically. The longer you look at these cast bronze figures, the more the contradiction of the silent, frozen form of sculpture begins to intrude. We see, but do not hear the laughter. The contorted poses of the figure suggest animation and a cartoon form of an anonymous person. The laughter appears to be convulsive, intense, and manic, but also insincere and forced. The scale is "un-naturally" large -exaggerated and excessive like the laughter.
Yue Minjun was a leading figure in what became to be known in the 1990's as Cynical Realism, an artistic movement that emerged in China after the 1989 student demonstrations in Tiananmen and the suppression of artistic expression. Humor, cynicism, repetition and an emphasis on the individual are common characteristics of this artistic movement. Yue Minjun was one of the first artists to translate this new ironic view of contemporary life, one that is expressed in the nihilistic hilarity at a time when little was funny.

text.npr.org/s.php?sId=485228299 These quiosques de refrescos (refreshment kiosks) were the heart of public life in the city. But, under the long dictatorship of Prime Minister António de Oliveira Salazar, which started in the 1930s, laws discouraged public gathering and conversation. Many restaurants closed down and the kiosks fell into disrepair and all but disappeared. That was, until Catarina Portas, a native of Lisbon, former journalist and entrepreneur stepped in.
"From the 19th to the 20th century, there were some hundred different kiosks in Lisbon. The city was full of them in different colors, different designs," says Portas. She used to take walks around the city and see these "sad, abandoned structures," she says. "I started to think, How could we bring this to our times?"
So Portas began hunting down these kiosks — some still in place but boarded up or neglected, others in storage. She teamed up with architect João Regal to restore the buildings – not just to their former glory, but to their former place of prominence in Lisbon's public spaces.
"We went to the city council with amazing photographs of the old kiosks, and we prepared all the old drinks and made them taste the drinks," Portas says. The pitch worked ---- Portas is fairly sure it was the drinks that convinced the council members. Their first three kiosks opened in 2009.
The kiosks offer affordable and traditional drinks and snacks, conversation and community – and also employment in a country struggling with the staggering levels of unemployment and recession gripping much of western Europe.

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.

A Horse With No Name By America
On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...
After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...
TRINITY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
E. 18th Ave. & Broadway
National Register 7/28/1970, 5DV.115
Of Gothic design, Trinity United Methodist Church was built in 1887 of light beige rhyolite from Castle Rock, Colorado. The architect, Robert S. Roeschlaub, was responsible for many major buildings in Denver. Although this was his first, it is considered by many to be his finest. The large nave seats 1,200 to 1,300 people, and the space has often been used for lectures and concerts. One of its outstanding features is a large pipe organ designed by G.A. Audsley of London. Built by Hilborne Roosevelt of New York, it is one of only twelve known Roosevelt pipe organs in the country.

I love late spring and summer thunderstorms, which are so much more common in the Midwest than in the Northesast. This summer, however, Boston and much of the East Coast have seen an unusually large number of Midwest-like severe thunderstorms (and a couple exceedingly rare Boston area tornado warnings).

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.
Libertà per tutte e tutti!

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.
