Location: The ranch is located south of Spur, Texas.
Acres: 10,567.32 acres, more or less. The ranch is in two nearby tracts. The north ranch contains approximately 7,146.32 acres and the south ranch contains approximately 3,421 acres. (We have been authorized to sell these ranches individually or as one large ranch unit.)
Terrain: Terrain of the north ranch is varied, being primarily rolling and hilly, sloping to several draws and seasonal creeks. Native grasses are in excellent condition and three pastures have been cleared. Brush throughout the draws and creek bottoms has been left untouched. Soils are generally sandy.
The south ranch is fairly level to rolling, sloping towards several draws on the west side of the ranch. Much of the ranch has been cleared and some remaining brush has been sprayed but left standing. Grasses are in excellent condition.
Water: The ranch is very well watered by electric wells and waterlines, windmills, several nice ponds, and seasonal creeks including Little Red Mud Creek.
Improvements: The ranch is improved by two sets of pipe livestock pens, a hunter's cabin and good fences. Electricity is on both properties.
Access: Access to the north ranch is by maintained graded county roads. Access to the south ranch is by paved highway frontage.
Hunting/Recreation: This is an excellent area for wildlife. Whitetail deer, quail and turkey are all very common on the ranch. Migratory birds and feral hogs are also common to the area.
Price: $775.00 per acre for either or both ranches
Remarks: This is a scenic, well located ranch that has been exceptionally well maintained and has been in the same family for over 30 years. This is the first time the ranch has ever been offered for sale.

El pasado fin de semana no sólo ha estado marcado por la vuelta de las vacaciones veraniegas. En lo musical, la maquinaria propagandística de Aphex Twin, el dirigible, la fecha y las plantillas en puestos estratégicos de EEUU y Reino Unido ha conmocionado a los parroquianos del irlandés, que hemos empezado a modernos las uñas con hipótesis de lo que sería un notición: nuevo material de Aphex Twin. De ser así, hablaríamos de la ruptura de una sequía que ha durado 13 años (desde Drukqs).
Esperemos que no sean más pesados que Boards of Canada y Daft Punk
En efecto, continúan llegando noticias, teorías y demás conspiranoias. Quizá todo quede en nada (no sería de extrañar conociendo a la criatura), o quizá haya más que un simple fake o una simple broma del irlandés y sí tengamos al fin nuevas publicaciones. Este año es el 25º aniversario de Warp (qué mejor momento para dar el bombazo), y curiosamente días antes de lo del dirigible, en Reddit un usuario anónimo decía que sobre septiembre habría dos nuevos discos del irlandés, y que son muy buenos. Según dice el usuario, la fuente es un directivo del sello. Además también se publicaría en esas fechas un nuevo LP de Clark. Así que a esperar, dar palos de ciego, investigar y sobre todo, soñar. Como ya circula la imagen por la red emulando a Fox Mulder: I Want to Believe. De momento silencio del sello y de Richard D. James, por lo que sigue siendo un rumor con mucho ruido.

Preah Ko (Khmer, The Sacred Bull) was the first temple to be built in the ancient and now defunct city of Hariharalaya (in the area that today is called Roluos), some 15 kilometers south-east of the main group of temples at Angkor, Cambodia. The temple was built under the Khmer King Indravarman I in 879 to honor members of the king's family, whom it places in relation with the Hindu deity Shiva.
Preah Ko (Sacred Bull) derives its name from the many bull statues located in the front of and facing the temple's central towers. These statues are thought to represent Nandi, the bull who serves as the mount of Shiva.
Lizzie
Species: American Kestrel (Falco sparverius)
Hatch Year: 1998
Arrival at Mountsberg: September 1998
Gender: Female
Injury: Human Imprint
Life History:
Lizzie came to Mountsberg after being dropped off on the doorstep of an Animal Rescue Centre in Toronto. While in the hospital at Mountsberg, Lizzie showed signs of being human imprinted. She was very tame, showed no fear of people and would readily hop up onto a hand and call for food whenever she saw people. We do not know whether Lizzie was imprinted accidentally by someone who meant for her to be released back to the wild or whether she was kept as a pet by someone and then dumped at the Rescue Centre when they decided they no longer wanted to keep her.
Tucked within Mountsberg Conservation Area, the Mountsberg Raptor Centre is currently home to 15 different species of native birds of prey. Many of the Raptor Centre's resident birds of prey have permanent injuries that have left them incapable of surviving on their own in the wild. In many cases, these injuries were caused by human activity. With the help of these feathered ambassadors, the Mountsberg Raptor Centre teaches the community about the native birds of prey that share our environment and how to reduce the negative impact we can have on them.

E' nata una nuova Creatura Artistica: Filorosso - officina di teatro e delle arti espressive.
Vi aspettiamo per la partenza dei nuovi corsi teatrali e per iniziare insieme questa magnifica avventura artistica :-)
Il teatro è l’unione di tanti fili rossi…
grandi, piccoli…
fili intersecati gli uni negli altri…
fili che hanno vita, che creano movimenti, forme e colori nello spazio….
Il Filorosso nasconde in sé tanti significati …il coraggio, l’azione, la volontà, l’amore, il conflitto, la consapevolezza, l’inconscio, la forza, la rab...bia, la passione, i legami, il contatto, l’energia…
Avvicinarsi al teatro vuol dire andare a cercare, scoprire, guardare quel sottile filo rosso che ognuno di noi ha in sé…
…Filo che tiene unito tutto come mani intrecciate in un girotondo…

Bacardi es conocido por su clásico ron blanco, pero hay muchísimo más detrás de su fachada más comercial y frecuente. Y la calidad detrás de sus colecciones más sibaritas están a la altura de los paladares más exigentes.
La edición Facundo de Bacardí es una gama de rones envejecidos compuesta por cuatro rones de distinta añada y a los que han bautizado de forma diferente: Neo, Exquisito, Paraíso y Eximo.
Neo ha reposado en barrica entre uno y ocho años, con un toque floral almendrado. Eximo varía entre los diez y doce años, y posee un sabor algo más cercano a la vainilla.
Exquisito se nos sube entre siete y veintitrés años de envejecimiento, con un toque a pasas y nuez tostada, y por último Paraíso, que supera los veintitrés años de envejecimiento. Cuatro joyas que varían entre los 33,5 y los 186 euros.

I stayed close to home tonight and took a walk down to check out the Friday night scene in Hermosa Beach; the town where I live in southern California.
There is a club there, Cafe Boogaloo that usually has some pretty good live music most Friday and Saturday nights and I thought I might have a chance to shoot the band or catch a good street portrait.
As I walked up to the club I immediately noticed this sharp-dressed man standing on the sidewalk, talking to one of the doormen. I stood around for no more than a minute when I asked him how he was doing and he answered back: "Just fine; how are you?"
"I'm OK, thanks. Would you mind if I took your picture?", I replied. "No", he said; "Not at all".
I asked him his name and he said it was Fred and so I introduced myself and we shook hands.
As I started to move so as to position him with his back towards the street, I asked him where he was from and he said that he was from Arkansas and that he had been out here since 1954. "The year I was born", I told him.
So we talked a bit more and I asked if he was here for the music. Yes, he told me. He liked to come down and dance with the ladies, so that "... I can show them a good time for the evenings".
At that I gave Fred a quick nod of understanding and asked him; "What else is there"? "Nothing", he smiled with his reply.
With that I stepped back and took this shot and knew that no matter what else I might see the rest of the night that todays 365 image was in the camera.

The "American nightingale," the Northern Mockingbird is known for its long, complex songs that include imitations of many other birds. It is a common bird of hedgerows and suburbs, and has been slowly expanding its range northward.
Description
* Medium-sized songbird.
* Long tail.
* Pale gray above, whitish below.
* Bill thin.
* Two white wingbars.
* Large white patches show in wings in flight.
* White outer tail feathers.
* Size: 21-26 cm (8-10 in)
* Wingspan: 31-35 cm (12-14 in)
* Weight: 45-58 g (1.59-2.05 ounces)
Sex Differences
Sexes look alike.
Sound
Song is a series of varied phrases, with each phrase repeated many times in a row. Includes much mimicry of other bird songs and calls. Call a harsh dry "chew."
Conservation Status
Common and widespread. Populations may be declining in heart of the range, but range is expanding northward.
Other Names
Moqueur polyglotte (French)
Centzontle, Jilguero, Ruise�or (Spanish)
Cool Facts
* The Northern Mockingbird frequently gives a "wing flash" display, where it half or fully opens its wings in jerky intermediate steps, showing off the big white patches. No one knows why it does this behavior, but some have suggested that it startles insects into revealing themselves. However, it does not appear to flush insects, and other mockingbird species that do not have white wing patches use the display, casting doubt on this idea.
* The Northern Mockingbird is a loud and persistent singer. It sings all through the day, and often into the night. Most nocturnal singers are unmated males, which sing more than mated males during the day too. Nighttime singing is more common during the full moon. In well-lit areas around people, even mated males may sing at night.
* A Northern Mockingbird continues to add new sounds to its song repertoire throughout its life.
* The Northern Mockingbird typically sings throughout most of the year, from February through August, and again from September to early November. A male may have two distinct repertoires of songs: one for spring and another for fall. One study found only a one percent overlap in song types used in spring and fall.
* The female Northern Mockingbird sings too, although usually more quietly than the male does. She rarely sings in the summer, usually only when the male is away from the territory. She sings more in the fall, perhaps to establish a winter territory.

HRH Prince Harry visits Brockholes Nature Reserve, Preston, Lancashire. Picture by Paul Heyes, Monday October 23, 2017.
Northampton U3A's September outing.
Hardwick Hall was built by 'Bess of Hardwick', who, as history recalls her, rose from humble origins to become on of the most powerful people in the court of Queen Elizabeth I. She married four times, each time gaining more wealth and her fourth husband was the Earl of Shrewsbury, one of the richest and most powerful of the English nobles of the time. After his death, in 1590, she built Hardwick Hall. It stands on top of a hill, and can be seen for miles around. It is particularly notable for the number of windows, glass was very expensive at this time, and was known for having 'more glass than wall'. In order to obtain perfect symmetry some of the 'windows' are in fact false, but still contain glass. Her initials, ES, can be seen everywhere in the building.The architect is believed to have been Robert Smythson.

Thaipusam actually celebrates the birthday of the Hindu deity Subramaniam. On this occasion, Hindus show the sincerity of their faith. It is a time for making and fulfilling vows. Devotees pray for divine help and make vows. When their prayers are answered, they fulfil their vows.
To do this, a devotee would pierce his cheeks, tongue, face or other suitable body parts with sharp objects. Next his friends or relatives load a *kavadi on his shoulder. Finally, in a trance-like manner, he goes on a 4km journey of faith.
Others, including young children, might join the procession carrying only milk pots. The Thaipusam Singapore procession starts at the Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple on Serangoon Road and ends at the Sri Thandayuthapani Temple on Tank Road.
At first look, one might think that the festival starts at one temple and ends at another. Not so. Many of the devotees start fasting a month before the Thaipusam Singapore festivities. Others fast a week. Yet others three days.
A Hindu friend said this to me, "If you are going to put a 12-inch skewer through your cheeks and a hundred spikes in your chest, you'd better take your fast seriously!"
* A kavadi is a cage-like structure carried by devotees during the Thaipusam Festival.
It is traditionally decorated with peacock feathers and aluminium plates which show images of Hindu deities. Sharp spikes criss-cross its lower section.
An elaborate kavadi might weigh up to 15kg! It is quite something just to lift it. But these chaps I saw actually walked with them for 4km - kavadis, skewers, hooks, spikes and all!
Some of them even skipped and danced with their kavadis. Either they have great endurance or they have some supernatural help.
Please check it out large on black - it looks so much better...
Tonight a friend and I went out to try taking light trail photos. Then he saw this photobooth and decided it would add to a shot. And then I realised it would be a perfect place for a ghosty sp. Yay!
A year ago today I wore pink fishnet.
