Front airbags were bad enough, a passive restraint to protect morons who absolutely refused to use seat belts. Now this.
You could buy a car with as many of these whoopee-cushions as the maker can stuff into the headliner and door pillars. Then again, you could stop texting, eating, drinking (especially alcohol), reading, combing your hair, putting on makeup, shaving and syncing your MyTouch with your I-whatever, and CONCENTRATE ON WHAT'S GOING ON ON THE FUCKING ROAD, TO THE FRONT, REAR AND SIDES OF YOUR FUCKING CAR, AND THEN ALL THIS EXPENSIVE, NEEDLESSLY COMPLEX, WEIGHT-ADDING SHIT WOULDN'T BE NECESSARY!!!!
But you're going to buy the car with the most whoopee-cushions anyway. Because you've decided it's "safe".
And I keep forgetting: It's more politically expedient to add more safety prophylactics to cars than to make it more difficult and expensive for morons to get drivers' licenses, even the morons who have drunk driving convictions on their records. Cars don't vote.

The area around Pafos is built on lime stone. The bedrock closer to the beach is a very soft rock that was easy in antiquity to cut out stone for quarry stone, or digging catacombs. The excavations under Fabrica Hill in Pafos dates from around 45CE. It is not known the resons that such extensice excavations where made. There was one very large excavation with pillars left in situe to hold the hill up. Later some smaller burial chambers where completed. The area is part of the near by Archaeological site although free to explore.

I always wanted to go to the island at Side Cut. Today, the water was low enough to walk over there. Well worth getting my feet wet, it was very pretty.
I got these side bangs by this amazing hairdresser. He's super quiet and often gives you this scary " i'm very focused " kinda glare..

"Pyro Mama's," a road-side fireworks stand near Bremerton, Washington. We saw this on the way to a state park where we went to camp in July 1993.
Having visited this dockyard in August 2017, it brought back many memories for me having sailed out from there in 1963 on H.M.S. Venus to the Azores. I was then a Cook in the Royal Navy serving at H.M.S Ganges in Suffolk. It was a cold winter day then and I was over the side of the ship scrubbing it clean before we sailed. Arriving at the entrance it was a bit disconcerting to see the queues of people waiting to get in. The queue took 40 minutes to allow where I was to arrive at the ticket gate. A bag search told me I was to leave my Monopod with them for safe keeping at the ticket office. This also applies to Tripods for camera equipment so remember this.
The first ship you see is the H.M.S Warrior on the left hand side dock. This ship was the fastest, largest and most powerful warship in the world when she was launched. Such was her reputation that enemy fleets were intimidated by her obvious supremacy and deterred from attacking Britain at sea although she never fired a shot in anger. HMS Warrior was a 40 gun steam powered armoured frigate built for the Royal Navy. She was the name ship of the Warrior-class ironclads. Warrior and her sister ship HMS Black Prince were the first armour-plated, iron-hulled warships, and were built in response to France's launching in 1859 of the first ocean-going ironclad warship, the wooden-hulled Gloire. Warrior conducted a publicity tour of Great Britain in 1863 and spent her active career with the Channel Squadron. On board HMS Warrior which was launched in 1860, Britain’s first iron-hulled, armoured battleship. The ship is powered by steam and sail and was the largest, fastest and most powerful warship of her day and had a lasting influence on naval architecture and design. Work and life on board reflected both the changes the Royal Navy experienced as it evolved into a professional service and shifts in Victorian society.Built to encounter the latest of the French ships, Warrior was, in her time, the ultimate sea warrior. Yet by creating a new era in naval technology, she very soon became outdated. After 22 years’ service, Warrior’s hull was to be used as a depot, floating school and an oil jetty. Painstakingly restored in Hartlepool and then back home to Portsmouth since 1987, Warrior is a unique survivor of the once formidable Victorian Navy and now serves as a museum ship, visitor attraction, popular private hire venue and more. HMS Warrior was rescued in the 1980’s, restored and brought back home to Portsmouth and is owned by Warrior Preservation Trust, an independent charity. Sadly, time has it taken its toll and today she is in a sorry state - her bulwarks, which keep her watertight, have failed and are deteriorating to a point which places her at significant risk.
Next ship I saw was H.M.S. Victory is a 104-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, ordered in 1758, laid down in 1759 and launched in 1765. She is best known for her role as Lord Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. She additionally served as Keppel's flagship at Ushant, Howe's flagship at Cape Spartel and Jervis's flagship at Cape St Vincent. After 1824, she was relegated to the role of harbour ship. In 1922, she was moved to a dry dock at Portsmouth, England, and preserved as a museum ship. She has been the flagship of the First Sea Lord since October 2012 and is the world's oldest naval ship still in commission. This the world’s most famous warship HMS Victory is crumbling under her own weight. An 18-month programme to bring this historic ship back to its original condition. H.M.S. Victory has been sitting in dry dock in Portsmouth since 1922 supported by 22 steel cradles positioned at six metre intervals. It has been well recorded that the 252 year old ship is collapsing ( so to speak ) under her own weight and following a detailed laser scan of 89.25 billion measurements and computer modelling, a new support system has been designed to record how the ship would sit in water.
The Mary Rose Museum is run by the Mary Rose Trust. The construction has been a challenge because the museum has been built over the ship in the dry dock, which is now a listed monument. During construction of the museum, conservation of the hull continued inside a sealed hotbox. In April 2013, the polyethylene glycol sprays were turned off and the process of controlled air drying began. In 2016 the hotbox walls were removed and after reopening on 20 July 2016 the ship is currently on display behind glass. This new museum displays most of the artefacts recovered from within the ship in context with the conserved hull. Since the opening it has been visited by over a million people. The museum is dedicated to the 16th century Tudor navy warship Mary Rose as well as the historical context in which she was active. The museum opened in 1984.T he Mary Rose is a Tudor ship that was built in 1510. In service for 34 years, it sank in 1545 and then discovered in 1971 and was raised in 1982.
Another ship I went to visit was HMS M.33 which is the only sole remaining British veteran of the bloody Dardanelles Campaign of 1915-1916, and also the Russian Civil War which followed. The ship is one of just three British warships from World War I still in existence. HMS M.33 was built in 1915 on the orders of the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill. She was a floating gun platform designed to bombard coastal positions from the sea. Her first active operation was the support of the British landings at Suvla during the Battle of Gallipoli in August 1915. She remained stationed at Gallipoli until the evacuation in January 1916. She served in the Mediterranean for the remainder of the War and was involved in the seizure of the Greek fleet at Salamis Bay in 1916.
In the dockyard you will find many other attractions and museums along with various shops catering for items of interest connected to this historic site.
Archaeological Site - Side
Side, with its long history, has accumulated a wealth of archaeological ruins for exploration. The well-preserved city walls provide an entrance to the site through the Hellenistic main gate of the ancient city even though this gate is badly damaged. The second gate is the Monumental Gate, flanked by the marble nymphaion, an elaborate three storey fountain structure decorated with marble reliefs, and supplied by the Manavgat River 18 miles away by means of a system of tunnels and aqueducts. A colonnaded street with many of the marble columns still standing leads to the Monumental Gate beside which is an double stepped podium with an elegant but empty niche bearing a dedicatory inscription to the Emperor Vespasian. The niche originally housed a statue and later on a fountain.
Immediately to your left is the amphitheatre, a mammoth structure which is the most complete ruin at Side and the largest in the Roman style in the region. It could seat around 15,000 people and some seats still contain the inscriptions of patrons’ names. Unlike other Hellenistic theatres that were traditionally carved into the side of a hill, this theatre was erected on flat land and its sheer vertical dimensions were supported by an infrastructure of vaults and arches - a construction unique to the Eastern Mediterranean. The theatre was subsequently altered by the Romans to accommodate gladiators and lions when a thick wall was erected on the lower levels to protect the spectators. You can walk through the seating area, but you can also walk underneath the seats, in the tunnels and ramps through which the spectators would have entered. The one part of the Side amphitheatre which is not intact is the stage, only a part of which is still standing. Over time the arch has collapsed onto the stage and the Proscenium is a jumble of loose blocks. In the 5th century, the theatre was used as an open-air basilica.
The agora, the market place and site of Side’s second-century slave market, and the circular foundations and some of columns of the marble Temple of Tyche from the 2nd century BC are still visible in front of the amphitheatre. The state agora is visible within the sand dunes of the eastern beach at Side. It is an amazing site, surrounded by columns which held a giant cross in the centre during the Byzantine period. It would have been decorated with copies of Greek statues, some of which remain on display in the Side Museum which is housed in the remains of the public bath house. There may also have been a library at this site.
The Temples of Apollo and Athena are adjacent to the ancient harbour which is located on the southeast part of the peninsula. Of these twin structures, built at the end of the 2nd century, it is the partially reconstructed Temple of Apollo that has become Side’s most photographed structure; its fine marble columns frame the sparkling blue of the sea just a stone’s throw away. Unfortunately, the site is now surrounded by barricades while extensive renovation work is carried out, and this rather spoils the otherwise amazing views. The remains of the temples are carefully arranged on the ground outside the barricade and on closer inspection many of these still depict faces, figures and calligraphy. Near the temples is a Byzantine Basilica, a 5th century structure that was built using some of the masonry from the two temples. In the 8th or 9th century, a small church was built in the nave of the ruined basilica.
The experience of entering Side by car and watching from the window as Roman ruins nearly 2000 years old fly by, is simply unforgettable.
I'll be by your side, when all hope has died
I will still be around oh and I, I'm still on your side
When everything's wrong, I will still be around
By your side
great horned owl
south of kalispell, MT
went out to find the short-eared owls again today, only a few left. Did happening into this trio of GHOs roosting in a huge, abandoned barn within the same WPA. Hopefully their presence wasn't at the peril of the SEOs. tough to tell them apart now looking at the photos - you could believe they are all the same owl...
This is the side of Greyfriars Bus Station. The ventilation slats were for the car park. The water tower can be seen in the centre top.
Side Ancient City
Side (Greek: Σίδη) is an ancient Greek city on the southern Mediterranean coast of Turkey, a resort town and one of the best-known classical sites in the country. It lies near Manavgat and the village of Selimiye, 78 km from Antalya in the province of Antalya.
It is located on the eastern part of the Pamphylian coast, which lies about 20 km east of the mouth of the Eurymedon River. Today, as in antiquity, the ancient city is situated on a small north-south peninsula about 1 km long and 400 m across
History[edit]
Strabo and Arrian both record that Side was founded by Greek settlers from Cyme in Aeolis, a region of western Anatolia. This most likely occurred in the 7th century BC. Its tutelary deity was Athena, whose head adorned its coinage.
Dating from the tenth century B.C., its coinage bore the head of Athena (Minerva), the patroness of the city, with a legend. Its people, a piratical horde, quickly forgot their own language to adopt that of the aborigines.
Possessing a good harbour for small-craft boats, Side's natural geography made it one of the most important places in Pamphylia and one of the most important trade centres in the region. According to Arrian, when settlers from Cyme came to Side, they could not understand the dialect. After a short while, the influence of this indigenous tongue was so great that the newcomers forgot their native Greek and started using the language of Side. Excavations have revealed several inscriptions written in this language. The inscriptions, dating from the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, remain undeciphered, but testify that the local language was still in use several centuries after colonisation. Another object found in the excavations at Side, a basalt column base from the 7th century BC and attributable to the Neo-Hittites, provides further evidence of the site's early history. The name Side may be Anatolian in origin, meaning pomegranate.
Next to no information exists concerning Side under Lydian and Persian sovereignty.
Alexander the Great
Vespasian Gate
Temple of Apollo
Alexander the Great occupied Side without a struggle in 333 BC. Alexander left only a single garrison behind to occupy the city. This occupation, in turn, introduced the people of Side to Hellenistic culture, which flourished from the 4th to the 1st century BC. After Alexander's death, Side fell under the control of one of Alexander's generals, Ptolemy I Soter, who declared himself king of Egypt in 305 BC. The Ptolemaic dynasty controlled Side until it was captured by the Seleucid Empire in the 2nd century BC. Yet, despite these occupations, Side managed to preserve some autonomy, grew prosperous, and became an important cultural centre.
Walls of the ancient theatre of Side
In 190 BC a fleet from the Greek island city-state of Rhodes, supported by Rome and Pergamum, defeated the Seleucid King Antiochus the Great's fleet, which was under the command of the fugitive Carthaginian general Hannibal. The defeat of Hannibal and Antiochus the Great meant that Side freed itself from the overlord-ship of the Seleucid Empire. The Treaty of Apamea (188 BC) forced Antiochus to abandon all European territories and to cede all of Asia Minor north of the Taurus Mountains to Pergamum. However, the dominion of Pergamum only reached de facto as far as Perga, leaving Eastern Pamphylia in a state of uncertain freedom. This led Attalus II Philadelphus to construct a new harbour in the city of Attalia (the present Antalya), although Side already possessed an important harbour of its own. Between 188 and 36 BC Side minted its own money, tetradrachms showing Nike and a laurel wreath (the sign of victory).
In the 1st century BC, Side reached a peak when the Cilician pirates established their chief naval base and a centre for their slave-trade.
Romans
The consul Servilius Vatia defeated these brigands in 78 BC and later the Roman general Pompey in 67 BC, bringing Side under the control of Rome and beginning its second period of ascendancy, when it established and maintained a good working relationship with the Roman Empire.
Emperor Augustus reformed the state administration and placed Pamphylia and Side in the Roman province of Galatia in 25 BC, after the short reign of Amyntas of Galatia between 36 and 25 BC. Side began another prosperous period as a commercial centre in Asia Minor through its trade in olive oil. Its population grew to 60,000 inhabitants. This period would last well into the 3rd century AD. Side also established itself as a slave-trading centre in the Mediterranean. Its large commercial fleet engaged in acts of piracy, while wealthy merchants paid for such tributes as public works, monuments, and competitions as well as the games and gladiator fights. Most of the extant ruins at Side date from this period of prosperity.
