Blocks with fragments of carved relief can be seen re-used in the footings of later structures such as the mammisi and Coptic church.
The Temple of Hathor at Dendera is one of Egypt's best preserved and most beautiful ancient shrines. This magnificent edifice dates to the Ptolemaic period, late in Egyptian history, though the site long had been the cult centre for the goddess Hathor for centuries before (the earliest extant remains date to c360BC but a temple is recorded here as far back as c2250BC). Most of the main building dates to the reigns of the last Cleopatras and further decoration and building work within the complex continued in the Roman period up to the reign of Trajan.
The dominant structure in the complex is the Temple of Hathor, an enormous structure with a rectangular facade punctuated by the Hathor-headed columns of the hypostyle hall within. This hall is an architectural wonder, a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian design and decoration, which covers every surface and has been recently cleaned, revealing a superb astrological ceiling in all its original vibrant colours.
Sadly there was much iconoclasm here during the early Christian period and most of the reliefs of the walls and pillars have been defaced. Worse still is the damage to the 24 Hathor-head capitals: not one of the nearly a hundred huge faces of the goddess that once smiled down on this hall has been left unblemished, most with their features cruelly chiselled away.
The main temple building is otherwise structurally intact, and extends into further halls and chapels beyond, again with much relief decoration (much of which is again defaced). In one corner is an entrance to a crypt below, an unusual feature in Egyptian temple architecture consisting of several narrow passages adorned with carved relief decoration in good condition.
There are further sanctuaries and chapels above on the roof of the temple, accessed by a decorated staircase and including the room where the famous Dendera Zodiac was formerly located (today its place in the ceiling taken by a cast of the original, now displayed in Paris). The highest part of the roof complex is no longer accessible to tourists, but I can still recall making the ascent there on our first visit in 1992.
Several other buildings surround the main temple, the most impressive of which is the mammisi or 'birth-house'. This consists of a large rectangluar hall surrounded by a colonnade near the entrance to the site and has some well preserved relief decoration on its exterior. Most of this structure dates to the Roman period, but the ruins of its predecessor built under Nectanebo II (Egypt's last native pharoah) stand nearby.
Dendera temple is one of the most rewarding in Egypt and shouldn't be missed. It is one of the most complete and evocative ancient monuments in the country and its recent restoration has revealed a surprisingly extensive amount of colour surviving within (we were amazed by the dramatic contrast with the soot-blackened ceiling we'd beheld on our previous visit in the 1990s). Despite its relative youth (in Egyptian terms at least!) it is easily one of my favourite sites in Egypt.
In 2007 the Tumbleweed Southwest Grill chain opened their first location of a higher-end southwest grill prototype concept called Sedona Grill in Lima, Ohio. By the end of 2007 only one additional location had opened in Sheffield, Ohio and plans for other locations seemed to be put on hold in Garfield Heights, Ohio; Murray, Kentucky; and Raleigh, North Carolina. On January 14th, 2008 Tumbleweed suddenly shut down their two Sedona Grill locations. The Sheffield location finally found reuse as Sorrento italian restaurant in late 2012.

Deboxing the Hasbro singing Belle doll. First I cut off the front plastic cover from the backing by using a sharp knife. The box isn't very reusable, as it glued together, so you have to destroy it to get the doll out of the packaging.
Detailed photos of the Disney Beauty and the Beast Melodies Singing Belle doll by Hasbro. She is a posable 11 inch doll of Belle in her yellow ball gown, from the upcoming live action Beauty and the Beast movie (March 17, 2017). I bought her from from ToysRUs, for $29.99. She was released on January 1, 2017, and is still available online (with free shipping) and in stores. She sings a portion of 'Something There', voiced by Emma Watson, with accompanying music. It is the same song from the 1991 animated version of Beauty and the Beast. In the Try Me or Demo mode, she sings 10 seconds of the song when you press her belly. When the switch on the back of the doll is moved from the DEMO to the ON position, the doll sings 30 seconds of the song in a single segment.
She has less articulation than Disney Store dolls, with totally stiff arms and legs. Belle has a one piece dress with a three layered sheer overskirt, yellow satin skirt, and a separate white satin underskirt. She is holding a printed cardboard rose in her left hand and plastic heels with bow decorations in front. She has a few freckles on her cheeks, which are not prominent, and brown eyes that are looking forward. She has a pleasant expression and a pretty face, but only slightly resembles Emma Watson. She has ball jointed neck, shoulders and hips, so only five points of articulation. Hasbro also has a more articulated non-singing version of this Belle doll, with a more detailed and accurate dress, called the Enchanting Ball Gown Belle, which also costs $29.99. There is another version of this doll in the Grand Romance two doll set, along with the ballroom Beast, which costs $49.99, and which has a less detailed gown than the Enchanting Ball Gown Belle.
The Disney Store has a non-singing Disney Film Collection Belle doll in her ball gown. She is separately sold for $34.95 each, so about $5 to $10 more than the Hasbro versions. She was released on January 16, 2017 (in North America). I will compare the two brands side by side soon.

The Helms Bakery on the border of Los Angeles and Culver City, California, was a notable industrial bakery of Southern California that operated from 1931 to 1969. The buildings have now been adapted for reuse as retail shops, restaurants and the interior design trade showrooms and the complex is part of what is now called the Helms Bakery District.[1] In 1926, Paul Helms of New York took an early retirement for health reasons and moved his family to Southern California and its mild climate. Helms started construction on a building between Washington and Venice Boulevards in 1930 and, on March 2, 1931, the Helms Bakery opened with 32 employees and 11 delivery coaches (trucks).
By the next year, the Helms Bakery had become the "official baker" of the 1932 Summer Olympics when Paul Helms won a contract to supply bread for the 1932 games in Los Angeles. His slogan was "Olympic Games Bakers - Choice of Olympic Champions."[2] Four years later in time for the 1936 Summer Olympics Germany asked Helms for his bread recipes to feed to the German Olympic team. His relationship with Olympians continued in later years, the U.S. teams at London and Helsinki requested his bread be served.[3] Early Helms vehicles sported the Olympic symbol, and it also appeared on, and was mentioned in, the Helms logo on the bread wrappers,[4] the company logo and sign.[5] Despite never being sold in stores, Helms baked products soon became known to millions of consumers. The Helms motto was "Daily at Your Door" and every weekday morning, from both the Culver City facility and a second Helms Bakery site in Montebello, dozens of Helms coaches,[6] painted in a unique two-tone scheme, would leave the bakery for various parts of the Los Angeles Basin, some going as far as the eastern San Gabriel Valley. This is remarkable because the network of freeways had not yet been built, so the trip might take an hour or more. One of each of these coaches is on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles,[7] Lyon Air Museum in Santa Ana, and the LeMay Car Museum in Tacoma, WA. In an apparent tribute to the Helms Bakery, a churro cart ("Willie's Churros") in Disney California Adventure is styled and painted to resemble a Helms delivery truck.
Each coach would travel through its assigned neighborhoods, with the driver periodically pulling (twice) on a large handle which sounded a distinctive whistle or stop at a house where a Helms sign, a blue placard with an "H" on it, was displayed in their windows.[8] Customers would come out and wave the coach down, or sometimes chase the coaches to adjacent streets. Wooden drawers in the back of the coach were stocked with fresh donuts, cookies, pastries and candies, while the center section carried dozens of loaves of freshly baked bread. Products often reached the buyers still warm from the oven. Helms Bakery coaches were originally manufactured by Twin-Coach, a delivery truck firm in Kent, Ohio, and were designed similar to that firm's buses, only smaller. In the 1930s, the Fageol brothers merged Twin-Coach with Divco, another delivery truck maker based in Detroit, Michigan. Until WWII both Twin-Coach and early Divco vehicles were manufactured by the merged Divco-Twin Truck Company in a new factory opened in 1939 on Hoover Road in suburban Detroit.
In 1937 the firm had introduced a new, very modern looking (for the era) snub-nosed delivery vehicle based on a design similar to Chrysler's Airflow, which by WWII had captured most of the market for Divco. Trucks made with the older Twin-style bodies were discontinued when the factory switched to military parts in WWII, and were never resumed. The Twin name was dropped from the company at the same time. But Helms still wanted the older design which had become iconic to their home delivery business, so they bought unfinished snub-nosed chassis from Divco and had them finished with newly made older style bodies by several local California Truck body manufacturers. An example of this style truck may be found at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Helms' later Divco chassis coaches were powered by various engines, including motors purchased from Nash and Studebaker.[citation needed]
Paul Helms died on January 5, 1957 at age 67, but the business continued to operate, run by family members. Its delivery network gradually grew to include Fresno to the north; San Bernardino to the east, and south to Orange County and San Diego. In the company's final year of operation, a clever marketing campaign netted Helms a contract to furnish "the first bread on the moon," via the Apollo 11 space mission. The San Bernardino facility was located on the northeast corner of Mt Vernon Avenue and Birch Street. After Helm Bakeries closed that location, it was taken over as a small warehouse by FEDCO Corporation, which has since gone out of business as well. The building in San Bernardino is still there, housing a mattress and home furnishings business.
Although popular, the Helms method of neighborhood delivery was doomed both by the expense of sending their coaches hundreds of miles each week and by the advent of the supermarket, which stocked products from other (less expensive) bakeries, which delivered once or twice each week. The Helms company ceased operations in 1969. The Marks family purchased Helms Bakery in the early 1970s and since then, they have completed a rare feat in Los Angeles - successful transformation and adaptive reuse of a historic structure. Covering the 11 acres, the many improvements include restoring original neon signs on the roofs, creating two historic murals, installing two large photovoltaic solar arrays, restoring the Zigzag Moderne detailing, reinventing retail, home furnishings and eateries, as well as creating a home for top-flight media and arts related companies. To honor the history of the bakery, a small museum was installed inside one of the retail stores.
The closure of Helms Avenue to through traffic created a new pedestrian plaza giving the neighborhood a much deserved community space, Helms Walk. The closed portion of Helms Avenue has been developed with trees, lawn areas, a water feature, free Wi-Fi, music and basalt pavers creating a new found space – a meeting place to sip coffee, chat with an old friend or simply “remember the day”. Helms Bakery's most recent addition closest to the Culver City station on the Expo Line is the newly created Helms Design Center. Featuring five to-the-trade contract showrooms with well-known brands such as Vitra, Louis Poulsen, Adotta, Bolon, Snowsound, and The Splash Lab, the center is a destination for commercial architects and designers. Lastly, a 200-car automated parking structure has been constructed, a first for Culver City, and in its making the bakery building continues to be a leader in civic mindedness with an eye to technological advances and innovations to the built environment and urban fabric. There are several retail stores now located at the Helms Bakery District. There is a Helms Bakery Collectors Club, established as a resource for Helms fans to obtain literature, memorabilia and even Helms Coaches.

Creamy: Mum is reusing old jars for holding glue. She bought a huge 5 liter bottle & it's too big to handle so smaller jars come in handy.
Strawberry:Yay for reusing, recycling, upcycling & bicycling!
Creamy: Um, bicycling would apply if we had legs.
Strawberry: Whatever, let's drink her tea while she's not watching!

The trees were produced from an established relationship with desproporcianal scale that a child's imagination creates.
This trees possessed maximum size 1m40cm in as media height of the character was 1m70cm . We can illustrate this with other points , the clouds were small compared to the scenario , the cabin and etc.
