The seemingly successful Jada Pink Slips line which I believe has now had several different mixes is blatant badge engineering at its best. Taking some of the best castings Majorette have to offer and then add their own unique colour schemes and packaging appears to be a good combination. Despite Tesco no longer selling them thanks to their toy departments now being managed by The Entertainer I had assumed nobody else would take on the Pink Slips series but thankfully Morrisons have and offer the latest mix.
Subtlety isn't the name of the game here, its all about bright vivid hues to attract the Fast & Furious loving crowd though there isn't any direct connection with that movie franchise.
This Aston Martin Vantage GT8 has been clearly designed and coloured to suit its performance racing prowess and being a Majorette casting ensures it has opening doors, working suspension and clear lense headlights.
Mint and boxed.

Seemingly surplus to requirements, these chairs were gradually being overtaken by the undergrowth at the surprisingly bucolic Popham airfield.

There are seemingly endless muddy canyons and creeks in these parts, sometimes moonscape formations, so unusual and different to Europe, or at least places I'm familiar with.
This collection of drawing books is a selection from the many I made in the 1980's of my travels in U.S.A. For many years my art was almost exclusively based on my travels and of American landscapes. I was influenced by Van Gogh's drawings at the time and also American artist Charles Burchfield. I was looking to capture something of the atmosphere of the place, drawing was a way to imprint these places upon my mind. Even now I can recall all these places in my minds eye in a way that had I taken a photograph I doubt I'd be able. Somehow drawing stills or stops time, in these patterns and marks there is something about the place that remains. Since these early works I have looked at drawing in many and various ways, but what remains is its foundational place in my art. The journey in The Deep South was the first of many such extensive travels, and these notes help to make these drawings part of the exhibition the following year at Farnham Maltings (The Human Land 1984).
Well, actually we saw a couple of people walking in there. And judging by the mercedes and BMW parked up front, we decided it was better if we stayed outside. What a shame!
The interior is a delight, seemingly unrestored, long and low with a plastered ceiling to the nave, a strange almost featureless chancel arch and a fine C15 panelled wagon roof to the chancel having carved wall plates with fleurons, ribs and bosses (although most of these restored). The clue was the small windows at the west end of the nave for a west gallery, although the present one seems to be more of a reinstatement of what was once here rather than original C17 work which the listing information says (and Pevsner offers early C19). It is accessed by a pull down ladder on small wheels, and you can closely inspect the Royal Arms dated 1792. Much of the woodwork is C17, there is extra seating available by pulling out sliding benches. Painted texts on the wall too, including one "The aged women...... shall teach the young women to be sober, to be chaste, keepers at home, to love their husbands." The north transept is subdivided and has a glazed screen to the two sections beyond (locked). The only jarring features, clearly seen in my view, the electronic sixties/seventies-styled organ behind the C13 font and the prominently displayed fire extinguisher! The village stocks are preserved in the porch, presumably for among others those young women who did not heed the advice inside!
While yesterday’s confirmation of a virtual October 14 launch event under the cryptic tagline “Ultra Stops at Nothing” means it is now open season for revealing OnePlus 8T 5G teasers and official announcements of impending features, the company is obviously unlikely to corroborate any specific pricing rumors in the near future. Of course, these types […]

The hours are seemingly lighter and warmer and the clocks are ready to go forward. Summertime has come to The Monkey Thurgoland. Here are a few pictures of the artworks currently on show. All of the art shown in these images was created by Anthony Roy Youel. These pictures were not taken to convey the artworks accurately rather they are set here to show them in biased lighting conditions as you might see them at the gallery.

When Robert Cremean walked through the seemingly
endless corridors of the Vatican Museum in Rome, he was
struck not only by the vastness of the place but by the
number of sculptures it contains, many of which are
neutered by a fig leaf. To him, the sculptures in the museum
represented an enormous collection of mixed metaphors and
only a rare few met his definition of “transparency.” On the
fourth page of his Preparatory Study for VATICAN
CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography he wrote:
The enclosure of one metaphor by another—one culture by
another—one time segment by another. “Paganism” is preserved
through forfeit of genitalia—neutered by a fig leaf. Miles of
historical artifacts enclosed within an historical artifact. And yet
there are a few presences that are not dead—not neutered. A few
glimpses— Man existing without metaphor. A few Transparencies.
Are these not worth the endless walk?
Within the concept “One man=all men,” VATICAN
CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography was conceived as
an actual and metaphorical record of the journey through
the life of the artist and, by extension, a projection of the
possibilities we all share and may attain. Within both of the
facing walls are ten carved life-sized figures symbolically
conjoined by arches to form a “corridor of the self. ” As Robert
Cremean wrote:
Each arch represents three years and the Corridor of Self-Analysis
begins with my seventeenth year.
It was within the time span of the First Arch he declared
himself a sculptor.
Prior to acquiring the materials necessary for the actualizing
of the sculpture in wood, he spent two months creating
the detailed preparatory study for the entire work, a process
he had followed on only two prior occasions, one for
DONOR WITH CRUCIFIXION and the other, although more
suggestive than detailed, for HOMAGE TO PAUL APOSTLE.
From the first three pages of searching to the final pages of
resolution, the artist’s graphic description of the threedimensional
work provides us with the opportunity to read
the artist’s philosophical concepts for that specific work of
art and to understand how these concepts are interpreted
symbolically through the human figure. Since this is an
actual and a metaphorical autobiography, the Preparatory
Study for VATICAN CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography
literarily addresses both.
Because each of the ten arches in the Preparatory Study
and in the completed sculpture spans a period of three years
in the artist’s life, the Tenth Arch was a projection five years
into the future and was at last updated twenty-two years
later in the writing in 1995, and with the publication by
Manuscript Press in 1996, of THE TENTH ARCH, the sculptural
Tenth Arch realized in the form of a book.
As the name implies, the sculpture is in the form of an
actual corridor. It measures eight feet tall, forty feet in length,
and with a width of ten feet. The facing walls of the corridor
are each formed by ten carved blocks of laminated sugar pine
planks for an overall measurement each of 8' x 24½" x 16".
The first figure of the Outer Wall, the “who,”is nearly fully
revealed in the round. But by the Tenth Arch, it has been transposed
into a negative, much like a waste-mold, only the egg
shape of the final transposition still in place. Block by block
and transposition after transposition, the three-dimensional
figure is displaced by a concavity as the wall that contained it
grows thicker and thicker. The reverse is true in each of the
corresponding figures and blocks of the Inner Wall. Each part
of the human figure is symbolic of a particular sense and/or
concept and with its transference the figure of the Inner Wall,
the “what,” becomes more complete.
Shown here is the final page of the manuscript which
lists the actual parts of the Anatomy of Transposition. It is
followed by the first four pages which serve both as an
explanation of the Preparatory Study and of the concept of
the entire sculpture. Each page of the original manuscript
measures 17" x 14".
You have probably heard about Vietnam mainly through stories of its historical struggles for independence. But, there is much more to discover about this country which unique culture is more than four thou¬sand years old and abounds with wonderful legends and historical monuments. Vietnam is definitely a must-see destination to enrich your world-wide travelling.
Offering a tropical climate, Vietnam dis¬plays green vegetation all year round. Throughout its seemingly endless range of mountains, visitors can explore mysterious caves, some of which were discovered in recent years. Not only do they offer an unfor¬gettable scenery to admire, but they also pro¬vide great opportunities for geological, archaeological and historical research.
Visitors will also witness the peaceful coexistence of fifty-four ethnic groups, each with their own traditions, festivals, clothing, songs and dances. All of them have worked in harmony for thousands of years in order to build a nation and to form a strong
culture that has been able to assimilate other eastern and western cultures, while preserving its own unique identity.
Travelling over Vietnam, whether in ancient or modernized cities, in populous or peaceful villages, in remote mountain hamlets of ethnic minorities or quiet islands, is a great experience to get in touch with a fascinating nation, where tourists are always welcome.
Travel Atlas will provide useful tips, addresses, and precious information on geography, history, culture and tourism for those who wish to discover Vietnam.
Though only 20, Alex Winston seemingly has decades of stage presence. Opening for Ted Nugent on her first tour, her second gig was in front of 7,000 people and she hasn't let up, bringing a fire to the stage that smolders long after she's left it.
"This seemingly never-closing night market is just minutes away from the downtown area. The market is not only Taipei's largest, it is also one of the oldest. It springs to life in the evening hours with carnival games and a great selection of shops selling clothing, shoes, jewelry, tourist gifts, tools, pets and much more. Every corner offers new surprises! Although the scents may borderline on pungent at times, the food here is tasty, with popular fare including tofu, Chinese sausage, and Portuguese egg tarts."

On a seemingly beautiful day in Northern West Virginia, a big tree fell across Route 857 in Monogalia County, near Cheat Lake.
When I pulled up, there was already a half mile of traffic or so, and we didn't know any easy alternate route so my friend and I left my mom to watch the car, and jumped out to see if there was anything interesting to see.
Apparently the big tree just sort of randomly fell down, and the white car came around the bend a bit fast and wasn't able to stop in time. No one was hurt, but the car had some fairly serious damage (not shown) and the road was blocked for about 30-45 minutes.
Finally, just as the road was being cleared, two state troopers came barreling up the hill. The one, noticing my friend and I taking pictures, asked "what are you boys doing, a school project or something?"

While seemingly unassuming in this photo, the building is actually quite large and very well built, having lasted from the 1880s until now largely as originally constructed. Emperor Menelik II, the builder of both the church and the palace here, was quite a figure in Ethiopian history, not least of which because he and his generals fought off the invading Italian Army at the Battle of Adwa in 1896.
Seemingly only accessible from a dangerously narrow sidewalk along a highway on-ramp, the old entrance of the Prague Main Station takes you into a crumbling, majestic antechamber, now home to a small cafe, closed on this particular day. Old men sat around reading newspapers.

This image of a dog sitting on garbage bags stands for the personal risks privileged researchers take to understand their interlocutor’s lifeworlds in urban areas of limited statehood. It was taken in the wasteland dividing the favela Jacarezinho in Rio de Janeiro from the main street where garbage pickers scratch out a living in the recycling business. Upon entering the favela, my local guide inculcated me not to take any pictures since the local drug cartel punishes suspected spies with a cruel death. When we left the area belonging to the favela and entered the waste twilight zone, I took this seemingly harmless picture with my phone. At this moment a guard passed by and demanded access to it to reassure himself that we had not made any photos inside the favela. The image then, although it shows a dog and garbage bags, talks about scientists investigating social realities at the margins of the state who, at the moment of research, can be only indirectly represented photographically.
After being born seemingly healthy and normla, Armand was diagnosed at 22 months with GM1 Gangliosidosis, a metabolic disorder with no proven cure or treatment. He is undergoing an investigative treatment using several medications as well as a ketogenic diet through a feeding tube. We've actually seen a lot of bounce-back in his personality and strength over the last couple of months.
We keep a blog for both informational purposes, and for people to just follow his journey at armandshope.wordpress.com. You can also find us on facebook by searching for "Armand's Hope".
I wish I really did play that much with the snow, as seemingly portrayed in these pics. If I can give up taking photos for a trip, I think I can play more. But then I would probably be hitting myself now & then along the way for not bringing my cam along.
I guess the only way to have the best of both worlds is to go on a free & easy tour. But then I would need a good public transport syst (u wont find that in exotic places) & an all-rounder travel mate.
I like these shots. Too bad the roof of the buildings were excluded in the shots with me inside. www.flickr.com/photos/j_for_joyce/5298654850/ Well, I guess to have the pic taken the exact way I compose it in my mind, I would need a like-minded photographer. Had wanted to walk further down to take more shots of the buildings but was told not to. I only had a little time while the rest were busy shopping in the tourist store downstairs the restaurant.
Well, on a packaged tour, it's often a choice between taking better shots but not having pics of myself (at least half the body) taken, or taking great shots but having none of the shots with me inside. Dilema:(...I would be grateful to find traveling mates who are just as into photography & love having plain stupid fun, like rolling all over the place on the snow or starting a snow war. I could have played with the 2 kids in my tour group but was too busy composing pics in the limited time before I would be hurried back to the coach again. Ha ha...

Spawning Salmon:
Coho salmon begin maturing into adults during the summer, after one winter at sea.
Salmon have a seemingly inherent ability to return to their original creeks, and even to the
same patches of gravel (redds) that they hatched in.
It is unknown exactly how salmon navigate back to their birth creek from hundreds or
thousands of kilometers away, however, olfactory senses - their sense of smell - does guide them
as they approach familiar waters.
A series of imprints on the young salmon occur when they are initially migrating to the
ocean. These imprints help guide them back to their native stream sections when they return to
spawn.
Upon their return in the beginning of the winter season, coho salmon may have to wait in the
estuary to re-acclimatize to the fresh water conditions, and possibly to await access into their
streams. For example, heavy rains and tidal movement may be needed to raise water levels so
that the fish can swim across beaches into their creeks. Usually, water depths must be at least 18
cm and water velocities no more than 2.5 m/s (metres per second).
Coho will spend most of their time in the deep pools while migrating. This allows them to
avoid the predatory dangers of the shallow, quick moving riffles.
Their average size upon return is 4.0 kg, and a length of about 50 cm. Males are usually
larger than females.
By turning on her side and flapping her tail up and down, the female uses the water to push
gravel around, and clears a depression in the gravel called a redd.
Once the redd is deep enough, the female prepares to lay her eggs. The dominant male, who
until now defended her, gets very close to her and releases sperm into the gravel nest. Other
males may also deposit sperm into the nest.
Once the act is finished, the female will immediately cover up the fertilized eggs to
minimize predation. As the same time, she is creating a new depression for the next nest.
Usually, 3 to 5 nests will be spawned in, and 800 to 1000 eggs will be laid, per female.
The spawned-out salmon will live only for another 3-15 days. During this time they will
defend their nests until they no longer have enough energy.
Frayed fins, fungus, and infections are common deteriorations which occur before the
salmon dies and floats downstream.
Taken from BC Heritage/salmon,
Following our seemingly neverending Chicago winter, many of us look favorably upon the arrival of spring and the anticipation of gardening, itself an act of earthly rebirth and renewal. This stone hoe was used to cultivate crops such as maize (Zea mays) roughly 1,000 years ago nearby the ancient settlement of Cahokia Mounds in southern Illinois. The Field Museum has over 3,800 archaeological objects from the state of Illinois. Plants such as maize (commonly known as corn) contain silica known as phytoliths. Stone hoes such as this one are often made from silica rich sedimentary rock known as chert. The process of cultivating this silica enriched soil effectively polishes the stone causing the shine on the edge of this hoe’s blade. Maize was grown extensively during this time and remains an important part of the traditions of many native peoples today.
Cahokia was the largest prehistoric settlement in North America north of the Rio Grande and comprises at least 120 earthen mounds. Covering roughly 5 square miles, Cahokia is one of the few World Cultural Heritage Sites in the United States recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

Seemingly floating on the water, the famous Haji Ali mosque is constructed on an islet, connected to the mainland by a narrow walkway which floods during high tide.
A seemingly Predator-inspired entry in the masquerade at the ConStellation NE science fiction convention. There's a fuller view of the costume in the group-shot here.
