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".
Seemingly "magical moments" that happen when you are creating an improvised photograph. I didn't construct the face that appears intentionally.
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.
When I track down details of the costume/contestant, I'll post them here.
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!
Seemingly, after a day at Stonehenge and Avebury, I still hadn't had my fill of mysterious, ancient things, and so insisted that we drive 40 minutes - in the wrong direction - to see this. (Oh well, at least there were pretty views along the way.) It's the Uffington White Horse. Actually, the entire area around Stonehenge and Avebury is dotted with chalk horse figures carved into hillsides, but this is the oldest of them all (about 3000 years old), and seemingly the only "stylised" one. No one knows for sure why these white horses were carved or what they symbolise. The most interesting theory about the Uffington White Horse is that it actually depicts the dragon slain by St. George on the nearby Dragon Hill!
You can see some people standing at the top of the hill, near the actual carving. We could have walked closer as well, but decided not to given that the view doesn't exactly improve with proximity. And what do you mean, you can't really see the figure in my photo?!! Ok, here's a better photo - an aerial one, which, apparently, is the only proper way to see it.
Seemingly more and more standard in upscale places in East and Southeast Asia.

Seemingly the equivalent of the London student singing through a traffic cone. I bet the London student would get more money, too.
This seemingly quite healthy mallard has these unusual puffy cheeks. Anyone know how this might have come about? I thought maybe a cross breed but I have no idea what kind of bird might produce these puffy cheeks in a mallard mix.
My fave bit of seemingly pointless Graff in Cardiff. Who is nicer than who's wife? Why is the door to Maindy rail depot the place to express this opinion anyway.
This graff also gave one time Cardiffian DJ Nicer than Wife his name.
When seemingly unwatched, people sometimes let go of pretense and let a fleeting moment of vulnerability surface. How sad that showing any sign of weakness (especially those of aging) is entirely unthinkable and asking for help becomes almost impossible.
Flowers seemingly reaching for the warmth of the sun at the Phoenix Zoo on a very chilly morning. I'm not complaining about it being cold....it sure beats the heck out of the stinking heat of summer.
I'll catch up to your streams soon!
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a good day!
Seemingly endless construction at Union Station is starting to reveal something worthy of the years-long headache.

Seemingly awaiting the call to service set 231003 waits at the back of Canton depot. The Stadler concept of a centrally placed motor unit is very common on the Continent and it is nice to see the UK giving it a try out here.

Seemingly unrelated, the sextant, earthquakes, and port gave rise to what we now know as Portugal. In short, the invention of the sextant jump started the “age of discovery” and Portugal’s conquest of Brasil, Spain, Madagascar, Macau and others. Barrels of wine enticed sailors to endure the stench of life abroad. To keep the wine from fermenting into vinegar, brandy and cherries were added and thereby unwittingly creating port. England’s thirst literally fortified Portugal’s economy in the 18th century.
From the 2000 flamingos that winter in the Rio Formosa to the Moorish, Romans and Celtic, Portugal has a history of migrations.
This history is what shapes Portugal’s architecture, language and cuisine abound. For example, centuries of Roman influence account for the number of words that begin with “Al”, the word Arabic sounds like “a rabbit”.
In the Algarve Moorish mosques became Catholic monasteries and are now train depots, police stations, and other public facilities. Castles of various dictators are tourists attractions.

Chicken burritos and tzatziki, while seemingly disparate, form a surprisingly harmonious and delightful culinary combination. The primary appeal lies in the contrasting yet complementary flavor profiles and textures they bring to the table. A chicken burrito, typically filled with savory, often spicy, and rich ingredients like seasoned chicken, rice, beans, and cheese, can sometimes be quite heavy and intense. It offers a substantial, umami-driven experience.
This is where tzatziki works its magic. The Greek yogurt-based dip, with its cool, creamy, and tangy notes, provides a refreshing counterpoint to the burrito's robust flavors. The cucumber and fresh dill in tzatziki cut through the richness of the burrito, offering a much-needed lightness and a burst of herbaceous freshness. It acts as a palate cleanser, preventing the burrito from becoming overwhelming and allowing each bite to be as enjoyable as the first. The coolness of the tzatziki is particularly welcome if the burrito has a significant level of spice, offering a soothing balance.
Furthermore, the textural interplay is equally compelling. A burrito often features a mix of soft (tortilla, beans) and slightly firmer (rice, chicken) components. Tzatziki, with its smooth, velvety consistency and occasional small chunks of cucumber, adds another layer of creaminess and a gentle crunch, enhancing the overall mouthfeel. It transforms the experience from just a meal into a more dynamic and multi-faceted culinary adventure, making the chicken burrito and tzatziki a truly great and unexpectedly perfect pairing.

The Plymouth Barracuda of this era seemingly just “gets no respect”. Despite being introduced about two weeks before the Ford Mustang to the same sporty compact new car market and despite having a thoroughly competitive and hot new optional 273 cubic inch (4.47 liter), 180-hp V-8 engine with more displacement than the initial eponymous “pony car” offering out of Dearborn, the Barracuda started life as a red-headed stepchild in the marketplace and never gained the market acceptance of its crosstown rival.
The backlight was the largest piece of glass ever engineered for any car up until that time, and was tinted in order to help prevent the solar cooking of inhabitants of the four seats.
Barracuda became a specific model-line rather than a sub-series of the compact Valiant for 1965, and gained a new Formula S package, which included an uprated 273 V8 good for 235 hp, more powerful than the commonly ordered 1965 Mustang 289 V8 of 225 hp. In fact, the 1965-1966 Formula S Barracuda is regarded as a Milestone car.
The problem with the Barracuda was marketing and design decisions that hobbled it once the Mustang came out. These cars are fun drivers and often gain more attention at car shows than do Mustangs from the same era, simply because they’re less often seen.
These Orkney built Pre-Fabricated buildings were destined for the Fair Isle - midway between Orkney & Shetland - but the Tug had to turn back because conditiions in the North Sea weren't calm enough.
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.
The visitor enters a seemingly natural situation. S/he sits down at a table where lies a virtual picture book, the pages of which show one item each in images and letters, such as a picture of an apple and "apple" written next to it. When the visitor touches the apple, someone bites into it, accompanied by the sound of biting into an apple; when touching the picture of a door the door of the actual space opens, and a lifesize smiling child appears in it; touching a lamp switches on the actual desk lamp.
In Beyond Pages, Fujihata refers to technologys potential for shaping valuable content with fantasy, concentration, and curiosity, reminding us of the original functions of books: plays in the sphere of cognition and imagination.

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".
