Unedited shot of the lovely Miss 'I amsterdam' in the 'ABC Treehouse' in Amsterdam yesterday. Taken with my Panasonic DMC-FZ8. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
Yesterday I was the Artist in Residency at the 'ABC Treehouse' in the Voetboogstraat 11 for the 'MultiCulti' exhibition again, and even though it was raining most of the time, lots of nice people came by to visit me and the lovely Miss Monyart there again and the cool Miss Marjon a.k.a. 'I amsterdam' took this really cool picture of us, thanks a lot guys&girls, it was fun again :))
Because my brain is the size of a peanut and I haven't slept very much lately, I've been telling everybody that yesterday was the last day of the exhibition but of course that's not true, it's going on until the end of the month, October 30 will be the final day, hahaha! We were going to have an open discussion forum about the influence of foreigners living in the best country in the world on the 30st, but because the crazy Skinheads of the English Defence League have announced that they're coming to Amsterdam that day, to show their support for Geert Wilders (who doesn't want them to come), and everybody who disagrees with that has said they'll come as well, to beat some sense into their shaved heads, we're expecting a wicked Saturday with (hopefully not!) violence, street fighting and other unwanted and unnecessary things, the discussion will take place a week later and it's an by Invitation only kinda thing...that's sad and sucks, but what can you do against the stupidity of humans, sigh...

Sorry for the long winded description but these are pretty complicated little people. Scroll to the end if uninterested.
Wikipedia says:
"Meerkat" is a loanword from Afrikaans. The name has a Dutch origin but by misidentification. Dutch meerkat refers to the "guenon", a monkey of the Cercopithecus genus. The word "meerkat" is Dutch for "lake cat", but the suricata is not in the cat family, and neither suricatas nor guenons are attracted to lakes; the word possibly started as a Dutch adaptation of a derivative of Sanskrit markaṭa मर्कट = "monkey", perhaps in Africa via an Indian sailor on board a Dutch East India Company ship. The traders of the Dutch East India Company were likely familiar with monkeys, but the Dutch settlers attached the name to the wrong animal at the Cape. The suricata is called stokstaartje = "little stick-tail" in Dutch.
According to African popular belief (mainly in the Zambian/Zimbabwean region), the meerkat is also known as the sun angel, as it protects villages from the moon devil or the werewolf which is believed to attack stray cattle or lone tribesmen.
Anatomy
Meerkat in San Francisco zoo
The meerkat is a small diurnal herpestid (mongoose) weighing on average about 731 grams (1.61 pounds) for males and 720 grams (1.58 pounds) for females. Its long slender body and limbs give it a body length of 25 to 35 cm (10 to 14 inches) and an added tail length of 17 to 25 cm (7 to 10 inches). Its tail is not bushy like all other mongoose species, but is rather long and thin and tapers to a black or reddish colored pointed tip. The meerkat uses its tail to balance when standing upright. Its face tapers, coming to a point at the nose, which is brown. The eyes always have black patches around them, which help deflect the sun's glare. The meerkat has small black crescent-shaped ears that can close when digging to keep sand out. Like cats, meerkats have binocular vision, a large peripheral range, depth perception, and eyes on the front of their faces.
At the end of each of a meerkat's "fingers" is a non-retractable, strong, 2 cm (0.8 in) long, curved claw used for digging burrows and digging for prey. Claws are also used with muscular hindlegs to help climb the occasional tree. They have four toes on each foot and long slender limbs. The coat is usually fawn-colored peppered with gray, tan, or brown with a silver tint. They have short parallel stripes across their backs, extending from the base of the tail to the shoulders. The patterns of stripes are unique to each meerkat. The underside of the meerkat has no markings but the belly has a patch which is only sparsely covered with hair and shows the black skin underneath. The meerkat uses this area to absorb heat while standing on its rear legs, usually early in the morning after cold desert nights.

Diet and foraging behaviour
Meerkats showing foraging behavior at the Adelaide Zoo.
Meerkats are primarily insectivores, but also eat lizards, snakes, scorpions, spiders, plants, eggs, small mammals, millipedes, centipedes and, more rarely, small birds. They are partially immune to certain venoms; they are immune to the very strong venom of the scorpions of the Kalahari Desert, unlike humans.[2] They have no excess body fat stores, so foraging for food is a daily need.
Meerkats forage in a group with one "sentry" on guard watching for predators while the others search for food. Sentry duty is usually approximately an hour long. Baby meerkats do not start foraging for food until they are about 1 month old, and do so by following an older member of the group who acts as the pup's tutor.[3] The meerkat standing guard makes peeping sounds when all is well. If the meerkat spots danger, it barks loudly or whistles.
Reproduction
A meerkat in the Kalahari Desert
Meerkats become sexually mature at about one year of age and can have 1 to 5 pups in a litter, with 3 pups being the most common litter size. Wild meerkats may have up to four litters per year. Meerkats are iteroparous and can reproduce any time of the year but most births occur in the warmer seasons. The pups are allowed to leave the burrow at three weeks old. When the pups are ready to emerge from the burrow, the whole clan of meerkats will stand around the burrow to watch. Some of the adolescents might try to show off so they can have more attention than the pups.
There is no precopulatory display; the male ritually grooms the female until she submits to him and copulation begins, the male generally adopting a seated position during the act. Gestation lasts approximately 11 weeks and the young are born within the underground burrow and are altricial. The young's ears open at about 15 days of age, and their eyes at 10–14 days. They are weaned around 49 to 63 days. They do not come above ground until at least 21 days of age and stay with babysitters near the burrow. After another week or so, they join the adults on a foraging party.
Usually, the alpha pair reserves the right to mate and normally kills any young not its own, to ensure that its offspring has the best chance of survival. The dominant couple may also evict, or kick out the mothers of the offending offspring.
New meerkat groups are often formed by evicted females pairing with roving males.
If the members of the alpha group are relatives (this tends to happen when the alpha female dies and is succeeded by a daughter), they do not mate with each other and reproduction is by group females stray-mating with roving males from other groups; in this situation, pregnant females tend to kill and eat any pups born to other females.
Behavior
Meerkat standing on rear legs
At Auckland Zoo
Meerkats are small burrowing animals, living in large underground networks with multiple entrances which they leave only during the day. They are very social, living in colonies averaging 20–30 members. Animals in the same group regularly groom each other to strengthen social bonds. The alpha pair often scent-mark subordinates of the group to express their authority, and this is usually followed by the subordinates grooming the alphas and licking their faces. This behavior is also usually practiced when group members are reunited after a short period apart. Most meerkats in a group are all siblings or offspring of the alpha pair.
Meerkats demonstrate altruistic behavior within their colonies; one or more meerkats stand sentry (lookout) while others are foraging or playing, to warn them of approaching dangers. When a predator is spotted, the meerkat performing as sentry gives a warning bark, and other members of the gang will run and hide in one of the many bolt holes they have spread across their territory. The sentry meerkat is the first to reappear from the burrow and search for predators, constantly barking to keep the others underground. If there is no threat, the sentry meerkat stops signaling and the others feel safe to emerge.
Meerkats also babysit the young in the group. Females that have never produced offspring of their own often lactate to feed the alpha pair's young, while the alpha female is away with the rest of the group. They also protect the young from threats, often endangering their own lives. On warning of danger, the babysitter takes the young underground to safety and is prepared to defend them if the danger follows. If retreating underground is not possible, she collects all young together and lies on top of them.
Meerkats are also known to share their burrow with the Yellow Mongoose and ground squirrel, species with which they do not compete for resources. If they are unlucky, sometimes they share their burrow with snakes.
Like most species, meerkat young learn by observing and mimicking adult behaviour though adults also engage in active instruction. For example, meerkat adults teach their pups how to eat a venomous scorpion: they will remove the stinger and help the pup learn how to handle the creature.[4]
Despite this altruistic behaviour, meerkats sometimes kill young members of their group. Subordinate meerkats have been seen killing the offspring of more senior members in order to improve their own offspring's position.[5]
Meerkats have been known to engage in social activities, including what appear to be wrestling matches and foot races.
Vocalization
It has recently[clarification needed] been noted that meerkat calls may carry specific meanings, with specific calls indicating the approach of snakes, birds of prey, or other predators.[citation needed] How these calls work is not yet clear.
Meerkat groups
Group at Zoo Basel
A meerkat group may die out because of predator attack, its alpha pair being unable to breed, starvation in a year when the rains fail, or epidemic disease.
A new meerkat group often arises from evicted females meeting and staying with roving males, looking for chances to mate. The litter size is usually 2–5 pups.
The size of the groups is variable. A group which becomes over-large may routinely have to disperse widely to find enough food when foraging. As a result, when suddenly needing to run for shelter, members of the group may choose different holes, resulting in the group fissioning.

What moon songs do you sing your baby?
What sunshine do you bring?
Who belongs? Who decides who's crazy?
Who rights wrongs where others cling?
I'll sing for you if you want me to
I'll give to you
And it's a chance I'll have to take
And it's a chance I'll have to break
I go along just because I'm lazy
I go along to be with you
And those moon songs that you sing your baby
Will be the songs to see you through
I'll hear your song, if you want me to
I'll sing along
And it's a chance I'll have to take
And it's a chance I'll have to break
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
So in love, I'm in love with you
With you, I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
So in love, I'm in love with you
I'm, I'm so in love
I'm in love with you

my car is back in MA, so i walk... a lot.
as i was walking back to my apartment yesterday i saw this pattern on the pavement and wanted to capture it. i blew through my apartment like a mad woman to grab my camera and came back in just enough time.
also, today i reached 1,000 views! which made me incredibly happy. i just wanted to thank anyone who stumbles upon my stream and looks through it. and a VERY big thanks to all of the lovely people who comment on my photos; it means so much to me. i'm in love with flickr and the flickr community and i probably spend too much time looking at other peoples work and not enough time on homework. but that's okay, i just marvel at all of your talent <3
I think this little guy just got back from World Of Warcraft where he got hit with the Mohawk Grenade.

Termoli, Italy

Quest'anno l'Amministrazione Comunale di Termoli ha qualche problema con le bandiere!
Infatti, dopo la rinuncia degli operatori turistici di Termoli a ritirare e ad esporre la Bandiera Blu, per la scarsa attenzione dedicata all'ambiente costiero e al settore, ecco che gli sforzi dell'Amministrazione di conquistare una Bandiera da esporre in Comune sono stati premiati: oggi a Roma Goletta Verde ha conferito all'Amministrazione Comunale di Termoli la Bandiera Nera 2009!!!
Tale riconoscimento è dato solo ed esclusivamente alle Amministrazioni che si distinguono per danni all'ambiente marino e costiero e, per tale ragione, è il vessillo meno ambito d'Italia perché è emblema di ecocrimine sui mari e la costa.
Questo vessillo non poteva non farcelo mancare quest'Amministrazione che pure annovera nella sua maggioranza un Consigliere di Legambiente (Enzo Criniti) e un Assessore ex dirigente regionale di Legambiente ( Emanuela Lattanzi).
La motivazione? La riportiamo pari pari, per non alterarne l'effetto…: "Il Comune di Termoli per la scelta di costruire un deposito ittico a ridosso delle mura medievali del borgo antico: il Comune di Termoli ha scelto di realizzare un deposito ittico (luogo di stoccaggio olii, ghiaccieria e magazzino di conservazione del pesce) in uno degli scorci più significativi della zona, vicino alle mura medioevali del Borgo Antico, che con il manufatto non è più possibile scorgere nonostante avesse a disposizione l'intera area portuale per localizzare l'opera".
Naturalmente, un grazie sentito e partecipato da tutta la cittadinanza termolese per l'ambito premio !!!

Second Life holiday parties was an incredible mix of trance, dnb, electronica, dark psy, goa, minimal, proggy, acid, experimental, industrial, noize, tribal, jazz, live music, country, blues, reggae, salsa, classical, opera, and Christmas music. I heard it all and then some.
I love music of all kinds. If it's good, it's worth listening to, so don't start with the nose-up-in-the-air over your favorite genre. Believe me... good music will always find an audience. An audience of sophisticated listeners will stop to listen to any good sound... even if it isn't part of your normal repertoire.
What is amazing is that dj's and musicians around the world know this, and they borrow from all genres to create their own personal sounds.
Here in Second Life, we get the results from around the world. World music mixes with the trendy sounds of the day, and we get the sounds that we love so much.
I want to thank all the dj's, musicians, club owners and event makers in SL. You guys made a holiday scene like no other. APPLAUSE & BRAVO ::::
Special thanks to you <3:

2009... here we goooooo!
www.martberg-pommern.de/index.php/english.html
Nearly 200 m above the Mosel river next to Pommern and Karden lays the high plateau of the Martberg. Its name still reminds you of the celtic-roman god Lenus-Mars who has been worshipped here in ancient times.
In the celtic period, around 100 BC, the Martberg was a central town an oppidum of the local celtic tribe called Treveri. According to current research the plateau of 45 ha was densly settled with small houses made of wood and clay. The settlement was surrounded by a wall constructed out of timber and stones. The evidence of coinage, handicraft and many imported goods emphasize the importance of the settlement in these times.
In the central area of the mountain archaeologists found a sanctuary of several celtic-roman temples which date from the 1st century BC to the 4th century AD. The sanctuary was surrounded by a large rectangular collonade which has been 60 to 70 m. In the center stood the main temple built in the typical celtic-roman style. It had a central square building called cella and a surrounding roofed verandah with stone pillars. The cella was the most important part of the temple because there was the god’s statue placed. Next to the central temple four smaller temples were discovered built in the same way as the main temple. In the sanctuary archaeologists found large quantities of offerings. The believers offered more than 10.000 coins, hundreds of fibulas, weapons as well as thousands of miniature ceramic vessels to their gods. In the course of the christianisation the sanctuary was abandoned after 400 AD. The religious center moved from the Martberg to Karden where an early christian community was established.
Since the year of 2006 AD it is possible to visit the celtic-roman sanctuary again. The major temple with its impressive wall paintings and one minor temple are reconstructed completely. Two other temples and the surrounding wall are rebuilt partly. Furthermore you can see some houses built in the way of the celtic period. Many of the objects from the Martberg and 2000 years of the history of Karden can be seen in the Stiftsmuseum of Treis-Karden. The museum is located next to the church of Karden.

An ivory head of Santo Domingo de Guzman
ESTIMATE: PHP 550,000 - 600,000
18th century
Manila
Ivory, wood, glass eyes, polychrome
18 x 11 x 13 cm (7 x 4 1/4 x 5 in)
Provenance:
From the heirs of Dr. José P. Bantug
Separately carved ivory heads were intended to be attached to a sculpted saint’s body, which could take several forms: de tallado, a fully carved and finely detailed wooden body painted in organic polychrome to create a complete sculpture; de gozne or mannequin-type wooden body with articulated limbs; or a bastidor-type structure consisting of a half-length carved wooden torso with a wooden slat framework below, functioning like a petticoat and also fitted with articulated limbs. The latter two forms were designed for de vestir sculptures, meant to be dressed in real, often elaborately embroidered garments. Once completed, these santo images were installed in church altar niches or used as processional figures. Affluent families likewise commissioned santo images for private devotion within their homes.
This ivory head represents Santo Domingo de Guzmán. It features an elongated, narrow face with softly rounded yet prominent cheeks and a refined jawline. The almond-shaped eyes are slightly wide and contemplative, retaining their original, well-integrated glass elements. Heavy lids rest beneath high-arched eyebrows, enhancing the introspective expression. The nose is slender and elongated, characteristic of Baroque devotional sculpture. The beard is deeply undercut and stylized in controlled, layered curls, while the small mouth with gently fleshy lips conveys a calm, inward-looking demeanor. The overall aesthetic is light and refined. A circular cavity beneath the head confirms that it was designed to be mounted onto a wooden body. Both its construction and stylistic characteristics point to early 18th-century (1700–1740) production in Manila workshops, where highly skilled Chinese artisans (Sangleys) collaborated with indigenous Filipino carvers. During the early to mid-1700s, sculptors increasingly emphasized subtle naturalism, evident here in the slightly parted lips – revealing carved teeth when viewed at an angle – and in the delicately indicated Adam’s apple (laryngeal prominence). This ivory head represents a superb example of Manila workshops at their technical peak, during a period when the colonial settlement was recognized as a global center of religious art.
Possibly due to pecuniary considerations or the unavailability of ivory of sufficient size, the uppermost portion of the head, including the finely carved tonsure, was fashioned separately from wood and surmounted onto the ivory. Based on strict classical proportions, the head would have originally belonged to a sculpture measuring approximately 36 to 42 inches in height.
Santo Domingo de Guzman or Saint Dominic (1170-1221) was a Castilian Catholic priest and founder of the Dominican Order. He and his order are traditionally credited with spreading and popularizing the rosary. The mark on the ivory forehead indicates the former presence of a star appliqué, one of the saint’s principal attributes, symbolizing the light of holiness and divine wisdom.
This ivory head has remained in the possession of the Bantug family, passed down through successive generations from their distinguished collection, beginning with the patriarch Dr. José P. Bantug (1884–1964), physician, public health educator, and author.

I learned more from Calvin and Hobbes than I did throughout my entire high school career. Bill Watterson, the author of Calvin & Hobbes, taught me that life isn’t as simple as it may seem. There are always greater forces at work.
Calvin’s character is a 6 year old brat who wants nothing more than to be left alone to his own devices. He hates that he must adhere to rules and finds himself engaged in a never-ending battle to fight and change them. In one strip taking place in Calvin’s imagination, he finds himself able to walk on the ceiling. He also discovers that although he may no longer answer to gravity, everything else does. His shirt falls down over his eyes and the change falls out of his pockets. He got his wish and he wasn’t happy with it.
This is a common theme throughout the strip: if you try hard enough, you may be able to change the rules to which you must adhere, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the same goes for everyone/everything else. There’s a life lesson in there, somewhere.
Thanks, Bill. You changed my life.
Style inspired by .LisaK. – Lisa has a wide range of skills. My most favorite being the ability to wash out a shot, keeping it somehow interestingly devoid of color. Simple and to the point: One and Two and Three.

Less than a hundred years ago, Cottingley became the centre of an international mystery, on a similar scale to the Loch Ness monster or the beast of Bodmin, taxing some of the greatest minds of the time. In 1917, two girls, Elsie Wright and her cousin Frances, told everyone that they had seen fairies in a place called Cottingley Glen. Astonishingly, they had taken photographs of the fairies. Perhaps, even more astonishingly, Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle, of Sherlock Holmes fame, endorsed the snaps and said they must be real.
However in private woodland outside Cottingley, the magic continues.
These readers, are St David's ruins.
They were built in 1796 by Benjamin Ferrand, a rich character in nearby Harden Grange. Like many at the time, they were built as gothic ruins for wealthy estates. Today, they are grade II listed.
It was the "bell" the lay of the Town Hall and is thus called by the nickname of "mangiaguadagni" since his first keeper of Balduccio John (or "Duccio"), famous for much appreciate the pleasures of food and then squander their food gains. It is among the ancient towers Italian highest, reaching 102 meters until the rod (second only to Cremona Torrazzo). It was built between 1325 and 1348. The four corners are perfectly oriented in the direction NS and EO.
Era il "campanile" laico del Palazzo Comunale ed è così chiamata dal soprannome di "mangiaguadagni" dato al suo primo custode Giovanni di Balduccio (o "di Duccio"), famoso per apprezzare molto i piaceri del cibo e sperperare quindi a tavola i propri guadagni. È tra le torri antiche italiane più alte, arrivando a 102 metri fino al parafulmine (seconda solo al Torrazzo di Cremona). Fu costruita tra il 1325 e il 1348. I quattro angoli sono perfettamente orientati in direzione N-S ed E-O.

...but that's gonna cost you one penny! There's no free wishes! I tried to get some nice gorgeous candid photos of people in my local mall but that didn't last very long as I was kicked out by one of those mall-cops. Apparently it's against the law to take photos in the mall. Oh well, I'll find another place. So I hope on taking more and more of these shots like Stephan Geyer. Stephan inspired me to do this. Well don't forget to comment and favorite. Have a great day!

Le 20 Octobre, une "journée nationale de la solidarité avec les étrangers" a été organisée pour protester contre le projet de loi Hortefeux sur l'immigration et sa disposition controversée sur les tests ADN. A l'appel de 3 associations (RESF, le collectif Uni(e)s contre une immigration jetable - UCIJ- et les Collectifs des sans-papiers d'Ile-de-France - CSP), des manifestations ont rassemblées dans une quarantaine de villes françaises des milliers de participants, dont 4000 à Paris (1500 selon la police) entre Belleville et Palais Royal.
Ici, les différentes personnalités en tête de la manifestation brandissant devant la statue de la République, une pancarte dénonçant l'amendement sur les contrôles d'ADN pour le regroupement familial.

Part of "Sans Papiers
During my lunch hour today I wandered down to the Water of Leith for some dipper shots. Got a few okay ones but mostly throwaway. On my way back to the office my attention was drawn to loud chirping in the trees at Belford Road and to my delight around 6 Long-tailed tits were hopping about. Out of the corner of my eye I saw two land on a nearby branch and one of them began hanging upside down. It took a second to realise that it was dangling helplessly because its wing had somehow got stuck. Now that I've scrutinised the shots, it would appear that the wing is literally glued to the end of the branch where some sap is.
The poor thing dangled helplessly as the rain started and the wind picked up. Other long-tails landed beside it and looked down in what appeared to be a show of concern. They certainly knew something was wrong. There was lots of anxious tweeting. Eventually the bird managed to pull itself up enough to start pulling away at its wing feather. To no avail at first, and I really thought it was going to end up dying there.
But the story has a happy ending as the wee thing eventually managed to rip its wing free, with minimal damage it would appear. I hope so anyway!
Does anyone know if this is a common occurence. I'm aware that tree sap is extremely sticky and could act like a sort of glue to a delicate feather but surely this kind of thing doesn't happen too often.
