Palace guards are questioning several men over the failed bomb attack on the Houses of Parliament last week. The five men arrested just before their planned attack Friday have been identified by the authorities as Catholic insurgents according to the sources close to the Crown.
One of the suspects, Guy Fawkes is said to have confessed that he was part of a terrorist plot by religious extremists to blow up members of the British government during the opening of parliament including representatives of the royal family.
A fifth man was also taken in for questioning over the IED found in the basement of Westminster Palace last week.
State security agencies are urging the public to remain vigilant to the threat of more attacks and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.

The guy in the denim jacket stood on the street corner for some time. He had a wheeled basket and a dolly containing a bass guitar, amp, TV, large fishing rod and several other items. The police passing by came to an abrupt halt and questioned the man as to where he obtained the items. Apparently he had a good explanation, because the cop got in his car and left. My guess is that he was trying to sell his personal items for rent money.

Here's a couple of pieces that probably had some people, more specifically my wife, questioning my sanity. In my defense, it was cheap and I was in Winnipeg, so I needed a little something extra to keep me powering through the week.
Nendoroid Anna and Elsa from Frozen.
Now, I'm not as big of a Disney Nerd, as it were, as I used to be. I've always enjoyed their designs (though IMHO Aladdin beats them all), and I did enjoy the once or twice I saw Frozen. The story was cute, and the designs were quite nice. Didn't quite get into Carpool Karaoke mode that many others did when the song came on the radio, and with my children being quite young, I didn't have to endure tone dea.... I mean.. charming, renditions of the songs by my daughters.
Whist in Winnipeg, a local seller had these up for $25 a pop, albeit with slight damage to the Olaf that came with Anna. Figured it was a good opportunity to get them both at once, so one rainy morning before work I met up with the seller and got the deal one.
On a side note, the Medicom Anna and Elsa are OUTSTANDING, and I would love to get my hands on those without having to pay black market organ prices.
If you haven't watched Frozen.. somehow.. then you're probably still somewhat familiar with the characters. Anna is the plucky younger sister of the Royal family, while Elsa is quite literally an Ice Queen, and lives a life like Bruce Wayne from Act One of The Dark Knight Rises.
As I've probably said before, the Nendoroid "style" lends itself to certain characters. At worst, you get a chibi version of a normal proportioned character, like with those Cosbaby release that Hot Toys puts out, but sometimes that Nendoroid magic just makes this release of the character that much more magical.
In this case, it leans more towards the magical side, though not as magically delicious as, say Kirby. The simplifed art style and cute proportions do make animated characters like Anna and Elsa somewhat more appealing that normal, but I feel that, especially in the case of Elsa, there significant loss of detailing on the outfits is to the detriment of the overall character itself.
Again, your standard Nendoroid rules regarding articulation, QC, included accessory types and so on apply here. Of the two, I'd have to give the slight advantage to Elsa with her raised eyebrow expression and much cooler ice based accessories.
Olaf.. well, he's kind of there. Nice addition, but ultimately doesn't really add a whole lot to the set IMHO because if you bought one, you probably bought both to display together.
GSC included a set of arms that allows you to link the two figures together in that pose I keep picturing Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie in.
This also brings me to the weakest part of the set, as it were.. that horrible snowflake base that Elsa comes with. It's honestly like a take out container lid with a snowflake moulded in.
Obviously while not an essential part of the Nendoroid experience (I don't think I actually own any of those, to be honest), a good solid set of figures that you shouldn't hesitate on if you find them for a good price.

NOTE: The paragraph in brackets are those of the artist:
THE SECOND ARCH 1952–1954 Ages 20–21–22
The three year span of the Second Arch witnessed dramatic
changes both in the personal life of the artist and in his view
not only of specific works of art but of the entire concept
of what constitutes art. Of greatest consequence, during this
three year period, were the actualities of events and the
realities of the intellectual and emotional experiences of his
twenty-second year. This was a time of profound questioning.
It was as if he knew with apodictic certainty that what he
saw, learned, did and created, actually, emotionally and
intellectually, would establish irrevocably the pattern his life
would follow thereafter. Leaving Alfred University in upstate
New York where his studies were based on the idea of
becoming a knowledgeable and skilled craftsman, he
transferred to Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield
Hills, Michigan, where he was, for the most part, given the
freedom to decide for himself when he would work in his
studio and what he would do therein. The throwing of pots,
bottles, bowls and plates was a specifically chosen and needed diversionary distraction from his investigation of and
experimentation with the human figure which took form
in plaster, clay, wood, marble, granite, bronze and in countless
drawings. Sixteen and seventeen hours of concentrated work
in his studio each and every day never seemed sufficient to
the young and joyful artist.
[After the recognition of the possibility for “whatness”
contained within the first arch—after that—the
transposition begins…what would occur, what did occur?
An acknowledgment of sexuality. A rebuttal of the past. An
embracing of presented ideas. A desire for “tools.” A search
for “style.” A sense of having been “chosen.” A more
objective grasp of my own “whoness.” A desire to destroy
the “female” presence within the “who.” Homoeroticism.
Symbiosis. A sense of deprivation in terms of personal
history. A feeling of there not being enough time. A pressing
awareness of death. Smoking. Drinking. “Living.” A
frustrating inability to communicate verbally. An intimidation
by the more culturally informed. A beginning response to music. Competitiveness. Embarrassed by family provinciality. A transfer of love from an older sister to a younger sister. A sense of being “flawed.” A sense of having lost something or of having had something internal and vital taken away. A desire to prove something. A necessity to prove myself “worthy.” A guilt for being alive. A resentment for being ignorant and naive. Ambition. A willfulness and perversity in terms of social “correctness.” A desire to be “the best.” Jealousy. Envy. A sense of being physically desirable to both sexes. A guilt for desiring both sexes. A discovery of love. A having love. A being loved. A departure of the beloved. A being left with love…alone. Guilt, pain, anger, resentment, sorrow—total Romantic Despair. An increasing response to music. A 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. studio day—seven days a week. “Whatness” becomes not a matter of choice but a matter of survival. The “who” cannot support nor retain its feelings, its passion, as being separate. The “what” accepts the first “giveaway” through the
transposition of recognition. It accepts the “who’s” desire to
be acceptable by something greater than itself. The question
“Where do we go from here?” must now be dealt with by
the “what.” The “who” becomes the Host and nourishing
source for the evolution of the “what”…a symbiosis of the self.]
His “production” and his experimentation with ideas
and materials was nothing short of astounding, at times to
the great annoyance of his fellow students. How many actual
pots he “threw” was legend at the time. Although he never
considered himself a ceramicist, his pots, bottles, bowls and
plates gained him that reputation. He was included in craft
exhibitions in such places as The Detroit Institute of Art, the
Brooklyn Museum and the Toledo Museum of Art and he
was represented in Toledo by the Downtown Gallery and in
New York City by the Bertha Shaeffer Gallery. The particular
determination and the desire of the young artist to achieve
perfection, then as now, was clearly evidenced at the time.
In order to master the throwing of pots, it is first necessary
to know how to center the clay on the wheel. To teach
himself, he practiced hour after hour, consecutively, until he
was able to center the clay perfectly each time. By then his
hands were actually bleeding from the effort. Once learned,
and in his desire then to create, he would take over as his
own as many as six wheels in the ceramic studio, a pot in
process on each. The first behavior was deemed by some as
neurotic and the second as selfish. The volume of production
increased and his reputation grew. But he knew ever more
strongly that although the throwing of pots was interesting
to him as a challenge, he was a figurative sculptor. And his
experimentation with materials and with the figure
outmatched his production of ceramics.
In the words of the artist:
[Age 22—The year in Italy—a break with the linear influences
which produced the year 1954–1955 mid-west America, and
a confrontation with that which is Italy…a culture whose
present is enclosed within the “Past.” A place where the world
goes to experience what it was, rather than what it
is—although it goes on living its day by day generation by
generation existence through linear time.…I began to analyze and experience works that were not within the reference of my own time…With the reopening of the “who” and a consideration of art not “of my time,” what I was or what I desired to be was
challenged and enlarged. Art was not only a personal
out-pouring from the “who’s” emotions and feelings but
was also intellectual and somehow seemed to be philo-
sophically ordered. It seemed to signify more than what it
evidenced itself as being in terms of structure, plasticity,
color, etc. . . . What I envisioned for myself and for my own
work was not just an accumulation of the mechanics of
“that’s why it works,” but something more…the works I
responded to seemed to “be about” something. Though my
culture denied the validity of content, the works that I
responded to proclaimed it. A juxtaposition of abstract
bodily weights and axes just didn’t carry as much
significance as those weights and axes with a body
surrounding them. What’s more, certain works which were
supposedly past, over, and done with—in effect dead—were
more alive and real than anything my time had yet produced.
I wanted to become part of that reality. The imposed
limitations of contemporaneity became intolerable. I faced
my own time as though it were an enemy—a murderer.
I returned “home” filled with the sense of my own
“whatness.” That what I thought, felt, and believed could and
would change not only my own work but that by its very
reality, the whole foundation of contemporary art, could and
would be destroyed. If I could respond to works within the linear “Past” and not to works within the linear “Present,” was not my response capable of provoking it?]
The events of the Second Arch were carried into the
Third Arch since the Fulbright Scholarship was for the
academic year 1954–1955. And there, in Rome, he was left to
work as he chose and did so with the same vigor and surety
he had evidenced at Cranbrook Academy of Art. Many pieces
were completed and shipped to America, works in plaster, in
bronze and in terra cotta. But, most importantly, he had
experienced a vital and profound and even cathartic change
in his view of art and of himself as an artist, actually and
metaphorically. Returned to Cranbrook, he again produced
ceramics but, much more importantly, he cast numerous
figurative pieces in bronze. All of his sculpture, no matter the
medium, then and for the rest of his life, was unique. There
were, however, limited editions of his lithographs and books.
Many of the student pieces were later destroyed by the
artist. Some were, however, included in one-man studio
exhibitions and in other venues and a few have been
memorialized in photograph. Exhibitions include: Designer-
Craftsmen at the Brooklyn Museum, New York, 1953; the
Thirty-Sixth Annual Exhibition of Toledo Area Artists at the
Toledo Museum of Art in 1954; Paula Shaeffer Gallery, New
York; one-man exhibition of sculpture and ceramics, the
Toledo Art Museum, 1955; one-man exhibition, Downtown
Art Gallery in Toledo, Ohio. All of those works that have
survived are now in private and institutional collections.
Is it illegal? Literally a loaded question. Did I break any laws in taking this image? I have driven by the spot many times and often pondered this question. So, ever ready with my camera, as I took one last glance around me I very quickly snapped off the shot as I was driving. Technically it sucks. Over grown weeds, blur, bad light, point and shoot camera, yesh! It is the answer to my question that was my aim.
I did a quick search to find my answer on the web to no avail. All I could come up with is personal conjecture with thoughts about terrorism, over zealous cops, press experiences, some say it is illegal some say it isn't, some say to challenge authority others say it's best not to push the point. Where is the skinny on this subject? I am a law abiding citizen and non-confrontational. So where can I point and shoot without worry?
Bridges fascinate me. Their span, architecture, and history thrill me. This bridge the Blanchette Bridge spanning the Missouri River between St Louis and St. Charles County. They are of a cantilevered through truss bridge design. The west bound built in 1958 as part of President Eisenhower's plan to have a interstate highway system. The east bound bridge built in 1978. It has a daily average use of 70,000 vehicles. During the height of the devastating Great Flood of 1993 this was one of the few remaining routes and bridges still clear in and out of St. Louis. Once, I had to stop on the west bound bridge to allow former President Bush to pass on the east bound bridge. I thought that this would be the perfect time for a terrorist attack. The President on one bridge and me stuck on the other bridge. Gees, what a thought.
Anyway, I would like nothing better than to take several images of the bridge in different light, with a tripod and angle without worry of being approached. I'm not whining. I realize law enforcement personnel are doing their jobs. Thankfully so. If approached I would smile, show ID, thank them and move along. I would suggest the same to you. Imagine explaining "what your in for" to your jail buddies.
What are your thoughts on this subject?

Arghh !! I can't decide ..

I am questioning my assistant's work ethic. Actually due to lack of childcare my son was forced to hang out while I was shooting.
Monday off from school- Allans birthday party. i woke up questioning this event but knowing that if i went id have a lot of fun with people that i havent been around in a long time. but i needed to hang with sarath and i needed to buy him a gift. so me and sarath went shopping this morning looking and searching for something to give allan. we decided on a joint gift since we were a couple, pooling our money to get allan something bigger. we didnt want to get a gift card or just cash, thatd be saying that we did know him at all. i wanted to get him something that hed like and appreciate.... a giant nerf gun? yeah. we got him a giant nerf gun. hopefully he likes it, i gave him the gift reciept just in case. but wat guy at his age doesnt want a flippin giant nerf gun?!
so anyways, me and sarath got to the party fashionably late. we played uno and cards and guitar hero. had tons of food and fun and cake. i chatted with people i have not seen in a long long time- ei- carlos and natalie and jon jon and pat n paul, nacy and lawrence. and carlos even sang piano man and he has a really really nice voice. so after a while me and sarath decided to head off, figuring it was getting a bit late and we wanted to chill before we parted. so we went to my house which didnt go exactly as planned. it was nice, but we've found that we need ueo alerts- unecessary emotional outburst alerts. because just because, we both get distrought when the other is emotionally out of it....its just the way our energies feed off each other. its really odd, but makes a lot of sense, and even though we sometimes need ueo's, it makes me think thats theres gotta be a lot between us to be so emotionally connected. then we had a nice chat [insert finger quotes] " "
which seemed to be quite lengthy " "
all in all today was really fun. and apparently i looked like an uber ginger and sarath applied to journeys : )
thats sarath on speaker phone in the picture btw

n ancient Greek cult-practice and literature, a nekyia or nekya (Ancient Greek: νέκυια, νεκυία; νεκύα) is a "rite by which ghosts were called up and questioned about the future," i.e., necromancy. A nekyia is not necessarily the same thing as a katabasis. While they both afford the opportunity to converse with the dead, only a katabasis is the actual, physical journey to the underworld undertaken by several heroes in Greek and Roman myth.Main article: Nekyia For broader coverage of this topic, see Active imagination and Amplification (psychology). See also: Dialectic, Dialogic, Hero's journey, and Katabasis As the shadow is a part of the unconscious, a method called Shadow work is practiced through active imagination with daydreaming and meditation – the experience is then mediated by dialectical interpretation through narrative and art (pottery, poetry, drawing, dancing, singing, etc.); analysts perform dreamwork on analysands, using amplification to raise the unconscious to conscious awareness.[33][34][35] Jung uses the term Nekyia to describe the descent into darkness, where the ego fades.[36] The eventual encounter with the shadow plays a central part in the process of individuation. Jung considered that "the course of individuation [...] exhibits a certain formal regularity. Its signposts and milestones are various archetypal symbols" marking its stages; and of these "the first stage leads to the experience of the shadow."[37] If "the breakdown of the persona constitutes the typical Jungian moment both in therapy and in development,"[38] it is this that opens the road to the shadow within, coming about when "beneath the surface a person is suffering from a deadly boredom that makes everything seem meaningless and empty...as if the initial encounter with the Self casts a dark shadow ahead of time."[30]: 170 Jung considered as a perennial danger in life that "the more consciousness gains in clarity, the more monarchic becomes its content...the king constantly needs the renewal that begins with a descent into his own darkness"[39]: 334 – his shadow – which the "dissolution of the persona" sets in motion.[40] "The shadow personifies everything that the subject refuses to acknowledge about himself",[41]: 284 whether consciously or unconsciously, and represents "a tight passage, a narrow door, whose painful constriction no one is spared who goes down to the deep well."[41]: 21 [If and when] an individual makes an attempt to see his shadow, he becomes aware of (and often ashamed of) those qualities and impulses he denies in himself but can plainly see in others – such things as egotism, mental laziness, and sloppiness; unreal fantasies, schemes, and plots; carelessness and cowardice; inordinate love of money and possessions...[30]: 174 The dissolution of the persona and the launch of the individuation process also brings with it "the danger of falling victim to the shadow ... the black shadow which everybody carries with him, the inferior and therefore hidden aspect of the personality" – resulting in a merger with the shadow.

In common parlance, however, the term "nekyia" is often used to subsume both types of event, so that by Late Antiquity for example "Olympiodorus ... claimed that three [Platonic] myths were classified as nekyia (an underworld story, as in Homer's Odyssey book 11)".[1]
Questioning ghosts
A number of sites in Greece and Italy were dedicated wholly or in part to this practice. "The Underworld communicated with the earth by direct channels. These were caverns whose depths were unplumbed, like that of Heraclea Pontica."[2] The most notable was the Necromanteion in the northwestern Greek town of Ephyra. Other oracles of the dead could be found at Taenaron and Avernus. Such specialized locations, however, were not the only places where necromancy was performed. One could also perform the rite at a tomb, for example. Among the gods associated with the nekyia rite are Hades, his wife Persephone, Hecate, and Hermes (in his capacity as psychopompus – one who escorted souls to Hades).
The Odyssey
The earliest reference to this cult practice comes from Book 11 of the Odyssey, which was called the Nekyia in Classical antiquity. Odysseus was instructed to "make a journey of a very different kind, and find your way to the Halls of Hades ... across the River of Ocean".[3] There he consults the soul of the priest and prophet Tiresias about the means to return home to Ithaca, in a setting of "ghosts and dark blood and eerie noises, like a canvas of Hieronymous Bosch".[4] He sacrifices a ram and an ewe so that "the countless shades of the dead and gone" would "surge around" him[5] and then he meets and talks to the souls of the dead.
"The story of Odysseus's journey to Hades ... was followed ... by further accounts of such journeys undertaken by other heroes", although it is clear that, for example, "the κατάβασις [katabasis, "descent"] of Herakles in its traditional form must have differed noticeably from the Nekyia".[6]
The Athenian playwright Aeschylus features the use of tombside nekyiai in his Persians and Libation Bearers.
The Aeneid
In the Aeneid, Aeneas descends into the House of Hades and travels through the world of the dead.[7] In this, his journey differs from that of Odysseus, who merely journeys to the entrance of the Underworld to perform the ritual sacrifice needed to summon the spirits of the dead, the ghosts whose knowledge he seeks.
Menippus and Lucian of Samosata
Lucian of Samosata is the author of a satirical dialogue titled Μένιππος ἢ Νεκυομαντεία, dating from 161–162 CE, which, as German classical philologist Rudolf Helm (1872–1966) argues,[8] may be an epitome of the lost Nekyia of cynic philosopher Menippus. In The Lives of the Philosophers, Diogenes Laërtius lists the Nekyia among the thirteen works composed by Menippus (Vitae philosophorum, VI, 101). In Lucian's dialogue, Menippus, perplexed by the conflicting accounts of the afterlife put forward by Homer, Hesiod, the philosophers, and the tragic poets, decides to discover the truth for himself. He therefore enlists the help of a Babylonian Magus, named Mithrobarzanes, in order to visit the underworld. Mithrobarzanes performs a necromantic ritual, and the two descend to Hades, where they see Pyriphlegethon, Cerberus, the palace of Pluto, Charon, and the rest of the mythological machinery of the Greek underworld. Ultimately, the underworld setting serves Lucian as a vehicle for satire on not only the rich and powerful, but also the philosophers.
Jung
C. G. Jung used the concept of Nekyia as an integral part of his analytical psychology: "Nekyia ... introversion of the conscious mind into the deeper layers of the unconscious psyche".[9] For Jung, "the Nekyia is no aimless or destructive fall into the abyss, but a meaningful katabasis ... its object the restoration of the whole man".[10]
Jolande Jacobi added that "this 'great Nekyia' ... is interwoven with innumerable lesser Nekyia experiences".[11]
Night sea-journey
Jung used the images of the Nekyia, of "the night journey on the sea ... descend[ing] into the belly of the monster (journey to hell)", and of "'Katabasis' (descent into the lower world)"[12] almost interchangeably. His closest followers also saw them as indistinguishable metaphors for "a descent into the dark, hot depths of the unconscious ... a journey to hell and 'death'" – emphasising for example that "the great arc of the night sea journey comprises many lesser rhythms, lesser arcs on the same 'primordial pattern,'"[13] just like the nekyia.
The post-Jungian James Hillman however made some clear distinctions among them:
The descent of the underworld can be distinguished from the night sea-journey of the hero in many ways… the hero returns from the night sea-journey in better shape for the tasks of life, whereas the nekyia takes the soul into a depth for its own sake so that there is no "return." The night sea-journey is further marked by building interior heat (tapas), whereas the nekyia goes below that pressured containment, that tempering in the fires of passion, to a zone of utter coldness ... The devil image still haunts in our fears of the unconscious and the latent psychosis that supposedly lurks there, and we still turn to methods of Christianism – moralizing, kind feelings, communal sharing, and childlike naivete – as propitiations against our fear, instead of classical descent into it, the nekyia into imagination… (Only) after his nekyia, Freud, like Aeneas (who carried his father on his back), could finally enter "Rome".[14]
Cultural references
"Thomas Mann's conception of the nekyia draws extensively from 'the doctrines of the East...Gnosticism, and Hellenism'".[15]
Jung viewed Picasso's "early Blue Period ... as the symbol of 'Nekya', a descent into hell and darkness".[16]
In 1937, English composer Michael Tippett planned a large choral work based on Jungian concepts, titled Nekyia. The work would become the basis of his secular oratorio, A Child of Our Time.[17]

On September 11, 2012, radical Islamic terrorists attacked the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, killing US Ambassador Chris Stevens and several other staff members and employees. Today, October 11, 2012, a US congressional panel has begun questioning State Department officials about the adequacy of the protection around Ambassador Stevens as new details of the attack are coming to light.
The day following the pillage and murders, Jerusalem Prayer Team cited reports from credible sources that recognized that what happened in Benghazi was a well-conceived terrorist attack. It took six more days for the White House to admit that it was. During that entire first week, White House officials tried to convince the American public that it was just a part of the Muslim reaction to a poorly made anti-Islamic film posted on YouTube.
Here now is more of the story about what happened on the fateful day. Some of the details may be unsettling.
- When the attack started, Stevens and Sean Smith were taken to a safe room by a security guard.
- Trapped inside the room with the attackers closing in, the three men decided to make a run for it. Following SAP, the security guard went first. He was barely outside the building when he was killed by rocket-propelled grenades.
- Stevens and Smith remained in the safe room. Once the guard left, no one ever saw them alive again.
- As several security agents attempted to escape the burning compound by car, they encountered crowds in the streets that made it impossible for them to pass. They were attacked with grenades and assault rifles. The gunmen shot repeatedly from a distance of two feet.
- Other agents attempted in vain to reach the safe room, but were unable to penetrate the dense diesel-oil-laden smoke from the fires that the attacks had ignited.
- Although unable to find Stevens, the guards dragged Smith’s body to an armored vehicle and left the consulate, still under fire from “an unbelievable amount of bad guys.”
- In order to avoid ambushers lying in wait, the agents had to drive the armored vehicle across the median and drive against oncoming traffic.
- Although no one seems to know exactly how, Steven’s body was taken to the local hospital where doctors used his cell phone to call recently dialed numbers.
- The next time the survivors saw Ambassador Stevens, his body was being delivered to the airport for their flight out of Libya.
The scale of a tragedy like this cannot be measured in the number of lives lost or the cost of the damages. The loss of lives on 9/11/2012 is no less tragic that the loss of lives on 9/11/2001. Just ask the families and friends of those who died. The grief they experienced was just as great.
As our hearts break over this tragedy, as we grieve for the troubles of the nations, and as we pray for the peace of Jerusalem and of spiritual awakening in Israel and America, let us pray with broken and contrite spirits knowing that God will hear from Heaven and will answer our prayers.
