Skinny Grizzly Bear rooting for food. Saw the claws, and saw the teeth and was glad I was staying in the car and using a telephoto.
The bear was about 10 metres from the other side of the road - so I stayed my 3 bus lengths away as recommended. Can't say the same for other people.

A 12 anni dall”uscita dell’ album d'esordio, “Modern Tunes For Everybody”, Fabrizio Fiore e Rosario Pellecchia tornano sulla scena musicale internazionale!
I campionamenti geniali, il recupero di un certo modernariato italiano anni '50, le inconfondibili sonorità "jazzie" sono rimaste ma il suono Flabby oggi e' cresciuto, e' piu' maturo, piu' solido: dalla cultura del sample, che caratterizzava i primi due lavori, Fab e Ross sono approdati a un elegantissimo sound acustico, ottenuto grazie alla collaborazione con importanti jazzisti italiani, tra cui Gianluca De Ienno al pianoforte, Tito Mangialaio al contrabbasso e Andrea Dulbecco al vibrafono.
I nuovi brani sono ulteriormente impreziosite dalla soave voce di Luana Heredia, gia' Delta V, presente in duetto con Ross o da sola, in circa meta' dei pezzi.
L'ultimo disco, dal titolo “Anything can happen”, pubblicato il 21 gennaio 2011 dall'etichetta milanese RNC, è in uscita in 30 paesi. E' imminente la pubblicazione del nuovo album.

È in arrivo il festival rock-metal più atteso e importante dell'estate 2012! Quattro giorni, quattro headliner e tantissimi special guests: la Fiera Milano Live diventerà il posto più divertente in cui trascorrere un bel weekend di musica e divertimento!
I Manowar sono un gruppo musicale heavy metal nato ad Auburn, New York, nel 1980, dall'incontro tra il bassista del gruppo Joey DeMaio e il chitarrista Ross the Boss.
Il nome del gruppo deriva da un termine usato nell'inglese arcaico, per l'appunto man o' war o man-o-war, che indicava una tipologia di navi da guerra a vela in uso tra il XVI e il XIX secolo. Un'altra possibile traduzione è quella che intende man-o'-war una contrazione di man of war, letteralmente uomo di guerra. I temi ricorrenti delle loro canzoni sono la mitologia, la guerra, la lealtà e l'onore. I testi delle loro canzoni presentano quasi sempre elogi sulla musica heavy metal, che è visto non solo come un semplice genere musicale, ma come un vero e proprio stile di vita, di cui i Manowar si vantano di essere gli unici seguaci e portatori della parola.
I Manowar sono tra i gruppi antesignani e fondatori del sottogenere epic metal; pionieristico in tal senso è soprattutto l'album Into Glory Ride, pubblicato nel 1983. Il gruppo detiene anche un vasto numero di record. In particolare rivendicano il titolo di "band più rumorosa del mondo" (precedentemente appartenuto ai Motörhead) grazie al Guinness dei primati che ha registrato questo fatto. La band è infatti giunta a quota 148.4 decibel attraverso uno speciale equipaggiamento costruito da John "Dawk" Stillwell. Inoltre è stata la prima band metal a includere argomenti di guerra, spade e metallo sia nelle loro canzoni che nelle loro copertine, a costruirsi un set di amplificatori e chitarre da sé e su propria misura, ad aver registrato un album in Dolby 5.1 e detengono il record per il concerto metal più lungo della storia, con una prestazione di 5 ore ed 1 minuto in cui hanno eseguito oltre 50 brani.
FORMAZIONE:
• Eric Adams - voce
• Joey DeMaio - basso
• Karl Logan - chitarra
• Donnie Hamzik - batteria

GETTING A HEAD START ON DRAINAGE
Many farmers are taking advantage of the weather and are putting drainage tiles into problem fields. Once the tiles are in place wet and lower ground areas may drain better allowing for the complete fields to be seeded at springtime, including the lower and wet problem areas.

Dixmude
Dixmude (Flemish: Diksmuide) is a Belgian city in the Flemish province of West Flanders.
Most of the area west of the city is a polder riddled with drainage trenches. The major economic activity of the region is dairy farming, producing the famous butter of Diksmuide.
Dixmude in the Great War
At the outset of the Great War, German troops crossed the Belgian border near Arlon, then proceeded rapidly towards the North Sea to secure the French ports of Calais and Dunkirk.
The Battle of the Yser started in October 1914. At the end of October, the Belgians opened the floodgates holding back the River Yser and flooded the area, thereby temporarily stopping the Germans. As a result, the river became a front line throughout the First World War.
The city was first attacked on the 16th. October 1914 and defended by Belgian and French troops. This marked the beginning of the Battle of the Yser.
Colonel Alphonse Jacques led the troops that prevented Dixmude from being taken by the German Army. Despite the heavy Belgian losses, the press, politicians, literary figures and the military itself created propaganda which formed public opinion into making the action appear strategic and heroic.
By the time the fighting ended, Dixmude had been reduced to rubble. It was, however, completely rebuilt in the 1920's.
The 'Trench of Death' (Dutch: Dodengang), about 1.5 km (0.93 mi) from the centre of the city, preserves the trench setting where Belgian soldiers fought under very severe conditions until the final offensive of the 28th. September 1918. The trench presents a highly sanitised version of what the trench must have really been like during the hostilities.
L’Observateur
The following poem by Victor Burny was written at Dixmude, Belgium in 1915:
'Dominant les pres verts de son pays flamand,
L’observateur est là, posté dans la pénombre,
Scutant l’éclair lointain qui surgin et qui sombre
Sur le ciel tern et gris, à chaque éclatement.
Il surveille le tir et parle sourdement,
Ses ongles sont crispé dans la chaux des décombres,
Et ses yeux grands ouverts, comme des miroirs sombres
Sur un logis ruiné sont dardés fixement.
A sa voix, les canons aux soudaines rafales,
Secouant le terrain de décharges brutales,
Ont concentré leur feu, là-bas, à l’horizon.
Et l’humble observateur – ô cruelle ironie –
Doroge posément l’angoissante agonie
Des derniers pans de murs de sa vieille maison'.
Translation:
'The Observer'
'Scanning the green meadows of his Flemish homeland,
The observer is there, on duty in the gloomy light,
Watching the distant flash that threatens
The grey sky as each shell bursts.
He watches each salvo and speaks quietly,
His nails dig into the limestone rubble,
And his eyes, wide open, like dark mirrors,
Stare fixedly at the ruins of a house.
At his command, the guns with sudden bursts,
Make the earth tremble with their brutal discharges,
Concentrating their fire over there on the horizon.
And the humble observer - oh cruel irony -
Watches in agonised silence
As the last sections of walls of his old former home crumble'.

Published in January 1894 by The Historical Publishing Company, author J. W. Buel, this book contains 300 photographs of every aspect of the fair.
The World's Fair: Columbian Exposition (also known as the Chicago World's Fair) was a world's fair held in Chicago in 1893 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. At the core of the fair was an area that quickly became known as the White City for its buildings with white stucco siding and its streets illuminated by electric lights.

The Monument
The Monument to Gustave Flaubert was created by Henri Chapu in 1890. It is housed in the Flaubert Museum and the History of Medicine in Rouen.
The museum is located in the Hôtel-Dieu pavilion where Gustave Flaubert was born, and where his father worked as a surgeon. The museum presents memories of the Flaubert family, and evokes the history of medicine from the Middle Ages to the beginning of the Twentieth century.
An important collection of ceramics, literature and old books can be found in this hospital museum.
Access to the permanent collections is free.
Rouen
Rouen is a city on the River Seine in northern France, and is relatively close to the English Channel. Formerly one of the largest and most prosperous cities of medieval Europe, the population of the metropolitan area is 702,945 (2018). People from Rouen are known as Rouennais.
“Upon approaching Rouen one is sure to be struck
by the insolent daring of its situation. Lying on a
sloping plain beside the river, it seems to disdain the
well-nigh impregnable site afforded by the steep cliffs
which rise just to the northeast.
The history of the city bears out the audacity of its
location. Through all the centuries, its inhabitants
concerned themselves so continuously in conquering
other peoples that little time was left in which to
consider the security of their own homes.”
-- Charles Hitchcock Sherrill, Stained Glass Tours in France (1908).
Rouen was the seat of the Exchequer of Normandy during the Middle Ages. It was one of the capitals of the Anglo-Norman dynasties, which ruled both England and large parts of modern France from the 11th. to the 15th. centuries.
From the 13th. century onwards, the city experienced a remarkable economic boom, thanks in particular to the development of textile factories and river trade. Claimed by both the French and the English during the Hundred Years' War, it was in Rouen that Joan of Arc was tried and burned alive.
Severely damaged by a wave of bombing in 1944, Rouen nevertheless regained its economic dynamism in the post-war period thanks to its industrial sites and busy seaport, which is the fifth largest in France.
Endowed with a prestige established during the medieval era, and with a long architectural heritage in its historical monuments, Rouen is an important cultural capital. Several renowned establishments are located here, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, the Secq des Tournelles Museum, and Rouen Cathedral.
“Perhaps the most characteristic feature of Rouen
when viewed from a distance is the great number
of its spires that shoot up above the housetops,
earning for it the sobriquet of the City of Churches.”
-- Charles Hitchcock Sherrill, Stained Glass Tours in France (1908).
Sadly not all of those churches are still there because of the ravages of war.
Seat of an archdiocese, Rouen also hosts a court of appeal and a university. Every four to six years, Rouen becomes the showcase for a large gathering of sailing ships called "L'Armada"; this event makes the city an occasional capital of the maritime world.
Rouen Cathedral
Rouen Cathedral was commenced in the 12th. Century on the site of an earlier structure. It has a Roman crypt.
The Butter Tower dates from the 16th. century. The name of the Tour de Beurre comes from the fact that butter was banned during Lent, and those who wished to carry on eating it had to donate 6 Deniers Tournois towards the building of the tower. Practically everyone in Rouen must have carried on eating butter in order to fund a tower like that!
The Victorian cast-iron Lantern Tower in the centre of the building made the cathedral the tallest building in the world from 1876 until 1880, when it was overtaken by Cologne Cathedral.
The Lantern Tower was designed by the architect Jean-Antoine Alavoine who proposed the use of cast iron, a modern material for the time, because it was less combustible than wood, and lighter than stone. The Lantern Tower took 50 years to construct. The 151 metre height of the spire still makes Rouen Cathedral the tallest cathedral in France.
The presence of a lantern tower at the crossing of the transept is a frequent feature in churches in Normandy (St. Ouen in Rouen, and Bayeux) and in England (Gloucester, Salisbury, and Winchester).
The lantern is in a bulge in the ironwork near the top of the spire, which is surmounted by a weathercock.
The Cathedral holds the heart of Richard the Lionheart. His bowels were buried within the church of the Château de Châlus-Chabrol in the Limousin. The cathedral seems to have got the better end of that particular deal!
Claude Monet painted a series of studies of the cathedral's façade 1894. Roy Lichtenstein also made a series of pictures of the front of the building.
The Cathedral has had to put up with a lot of wilful destruction during its lifetime:
- The Calvinists damaged much of what they could easily reach during the religious wars of the 16th. Century - the furniture, tombs, stained glass and statuary.
- The French State nationalised the building in the 18th. Century, and sold some of its furniture and statues to make money. The chapel fences were melted down to make guns.
- In WW2 the Cathedral was first bombed in 1944, taking 7 bombs. The bombs narrowly missed destroying a key pillar of the Lantern Tower, but damaged most of the south aisle, and destroyed two medieval rose windows. One of the bombs was fortunately a dud and failed to explode.
- As a consequence of a subsequent WW II bombing, the north tower, on the left of the façade, was entirely burned. During the fire the stonework calcified and the bells melted, leaving molten metal on the floor. The cathedral is still being restored after the extensive damage incurred during World War II.
Also, during the violent storm of December 1999, a copper-clad wooden turret weighing 26 tons fell into the Cathedral and damaged the choir and the stalls. The three other turrets were removed for maintenance and safety purposes before being replaced in 2012.
The Execution of Jeanne d'Arc
Jeanne d'Arc was executed not far from the Cathedral in the Vieux-Marché on Wednesday the 30th. May 1431.
The famous depiction of 19 year old Joan of Arc's execution showing her on top of a pile of wood and straw is wrong.
The site for her execution comprised a stake at the centre of a large ring of wood, with a gap left for Joan to be led to the stake. Once she was tied to the stake and the gap closed, she was hidden from sight.
One authority has suggested that her body would have burnt in the following sequence: calves, thighs and hands, torso and forearms, breasts, upper chest and face.
However in all likelihood she would have died from heatstroke, loss of blood plasma and carbon dioxide poisoning before the fire attacked the upper parts of her body.
After Jeanne had expired, the English exposed her charred body so that no-one could claim that she had escaped alive, then burned her body twice more to reduce it to ashes in order to prevent the collection of relics.
They then cast her remains into the Seine.
A modern church now stands on the site of her execution.

The Postcard
A postally unused postcard published by M.T. Sheahan of Boston Massachusetts. They state on the back of the card:
'Sheahan's Good Mottos
make the world brighter'.
Although the card was not posted, someone has used a pen to write a name and address on the right hand side of the divided back:
Miss Edith M. Laurence,
Teacher,
Fairbanks School,
Cornville,
Maine.
There was also a brief message:
"Kindest wishes from
Caro C. Cooley,
June 26, 1908".
M. T. Sheahan
M. T. Sheahan of 297, Congress Street, Boston, Mass., who operated between 1903 and 1910, was a fine art printer and publisher, who in addition to producing prints created many postcards on themes of animals, humor, greetings, and mottos.
Nixon Waterman
The poem was written in 1902 by Nixon Waterman.
Waterman was born on the 12th. November 1859, in Newark, Kendall County, Illinois. He was a newspaper writer, poet and Chautauqua lecturer, who rose to prominence in the 1890's.
Chautauqua was an adult education movement in the United States, highly popular in the late 19th. and early 20th. centuries. Chautauqua assemblies expanded and spread throughout rural America until the mid-1920's.
The Chautauqua brought entertainment and culture for the whole community, with speakers, teachers, musicians, showmen, preachers, and specialists of the day.
U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt was quoted as saying that Chautauqua is:
'The most American
thing in America'.
Nixon died on the 1st. September 1944, in Canton, Norfolk County, Massachusetts.
Kenyon Taylor
So what else happened on the day that the card was written?
Well, on Friday the 26th. June 1908, Maurice Kenyon Taylor was born in Balloch, Scotland.
He was a British electrical engineer and inventor responsible for many diverse technological developments and inventions, producing over 70 patents during his career.
Taylor came up with the idea of displaying information by means of a fixed array of dots, by way of a Flip-disc-display. These were used in stock exchanges and airports around the world.
Taylor died on the 29th. June 1986.
