I was going to play, "Guess That Macro!" with you crazy people, but it's getting late, and I'm just too tired, and I know you're tired, and you're all full of ham and merrity and bunny fur, so I'm going to go ahead and just crap on the mystery:

 

Sights.

 

Gun sights.

 

Like on an old WWII pistol.

 

No, the pistol doesn't work.

 

No, I don't know what's up with that weird glow surrounding the back end of the weapon.

 

Yes, I am wearing pants.

 

Yes, I'm lying about the pants.

 

Happy Easter.

Sound for Sight is raising funds and awareness towards Sightsavers’ work eliminating the World’s leading cause of preventable blindness, trachoma.

 

Trachoma is a bacterial infection linked to inadequate water and sanitation and passed on by flies. It is referred to as ‘neglected tropical diseases’ and can be prevented and ultimately eliminated entirely.

 

The Sound for Sight audience will be taken on a spectacular sensory experience during the show that has been carefully curated by Sound for Sight Founder, Laura Westcott and ‘Mo Pleasure’ the former Music Director of Earth, Wind & Fire.

   

Charlotte Kelly, Soul II Soul

 

Charlotte rose to fame in the mid 1990s as one of the lead singers of British R&B group Soul II Soul, with hit songs “Back to Life” and “Keep on Movin”.

 

Charlotte was born blind at birth with no sight at all in her left eye and virtually none in her right eye.

 

“I am very excited and delighted to perform at Sound for Sight because being blind from birth, sound is one of the most important tools we possess as blind and visually impaired people. So, treatment and eradication of blindness is a blessing for the growth on the human experience.” – Charlotte Kelly

   

Denise Leigh

 

Denise made her operatic debut in 2003 by winning Channel 4’s Operatunity and playing the role of Gilda in Verdi’s Rigoletto at the London Coliseum.

Since then, Denise has sung all over the world and was honoured to headline the London 2012 Paralympic opening ceremony.

Both Denise and her husband Stefan (who will accompany Denise on piano) are visually impaired with a visually impaired son.

 

“The treatment and eradication of blindness, in all it’s forms, is a cause very close to our hearts and we are delighted to be performing at Sound for Sight to help fund research and treatment.” Denise and Stefan

 

Mo Pleasure

 

Mo is a renowned multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer. Mo began his professional music career playing bass guitar with Ray Charles. In 1993, Mo became a member of the legendary group Earth, Wind & Fire, and ascended to become the band’s musical director from 1994-2001.

Professor Dan Reinstein

 

Dan is a pioneer in laser eye surgery and Founded the London Vision Clinic. He is also a very talented saxophonist and often accompanies Mo Pleasure at London’s iconic 606 Club.

 

Georgia & The Vintage Youth

 

A 22 year old Essex Girl with big blonde hair, a spine-tingling voice and a master of the retro jazz/swing style of music that is both vintage and fresh (hence the name of the band).

 

Georgia’s sound is contagious and subconsciously gets you tapping your feet, whilst her ballads are stripped back allowing Georgia’s strong and iconic vocal to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.

 

Joe Slater

 

A 22-year-old lad from Liverpool who blurs the lines between Blues, Soul and Rock ‘n’ Roll whilst taking inspiration from The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen and Oasis.

 

“With his raspy voice, perfect pitch and soulful delivery, Slater is unquestionably destined for stardom….” London Hollywood

HEADLESS SIGHTING. Fer real? We’re in the middle of the worst heatwave Los Angeles has ever known and now I gotta worry about a Headless Man.

 

I’ve been seeing these posters the past few weeks and figured it was an ad for an indie film or web-short. Ultimately I summed up the courage to call the number (from a payphone) and only found it to be disconnected. The bill contains no information of what this is. A simple Google search led me to other postings.

 

This seems to be an uncropped version of the image: melroseandfairfax.blogspot.com/2013/06/exhibit-x.html the site claims it’s from an artist named Exhibit X.

Cape Finisterre (Galician: Cabo Fisterra) is a rock-bound peninsula on the west coast of Galicia, Spain.

Cape Finisterre is sometimes said to be the westernmost point of the Iberian Peninsula. However, this is not true, since Cabo da Roca, in Portugal, actually the westernmost point of Continental Europe, is about 16.5 km farther west. The name of Cape Finisterre, like that of Finistère in France, derives from the Latin name Finis Terrae, which literally means "End of the earth".

Monte Facho is the name of the mountain on Cape Finisterre, which has a peak that is 238 meters above sea level. A prominent lighthouse is at the top of Monte Facho. The seaside town of Fisterra is nearby.

 

Geography

Cape Finisterre has some spectacular beaches, including O Rostro, Arnela, Mar de Fora, Langosteira, Riveira, and Corbeiro. Many of the beaches are framed by steep cliffs leading down to the Mare Tenebrosum (or dark sea, the name of the Atlantic in the Middle Ages).

 

There are several rocks in this area associated with religious legends, such as the "holy stones", the "stained wine stones", the "stone chair", and the tomb of the Celtic crone-goddess Orcabella.

 

Pilgrimage

 

Cape Finisterre is the final destination for many pilgrims on the Way of St. James, the pilgrimage to the shrine of the apostle Saint James the Great in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Cape Finisterre is about a 90-km walk from Santiago de Compostela. It is a recent tradition for pilgrims to burn their clothes or boots at the end of their journey at Cape Finisterre.

The origin of the pilgrimage to Finisterre is not certain. However, it is believed to date from pre-Christian times and was possibly associated with Finisterre's status as the "edge of the world". The tradition continued in medieval times, when "hospitals" were established to cater to pilgrims along the route from Santiago de Compostela to Finisterre.

Some pilgrims continue on to Muxia, which is a day's walk away.

 

Português

 

O Cabo Finisterra (em galego: Cabo Fisterra) é um promontório de granito, de uma altura de 600 m, situado no concelho de Finisterra, província da Corunha, na Galiza (Espanha), e constituindo uma península de 3 km de comprimento.

O cabo serve de linha divisória entre as Rias Baixas e as Rias Altas galegas

O emblemático cabo obteve a distinção de Patrimônio Europeu a 19 de Março de 2007, tornando-se um dos trinta bens escolhidos pela União Europeia como elementos com um "papel essencial na história e na identidade da Europa".

 

Última etapa do Caminho de Santiago

 

Localizado ao redor de 90 km de Santiago de Compostela, é destino final para parte dos peregrinos do caminho de Santiago. Esta tradição, que parece remontar séculos atrás, poderia provir quer do culto à Ara Solis (culto em honra do Sol) quer na existência de hospitais em Cee, Corcubión e a mesma Finisterra

 

Outras lendas e tradições

 

No vizinho Monte do Facho, existia um menir fincado de pé contra o qual os casais, seguindo ritos celtas, copulariam para melhorar a fertilidade. O menir seria demolido no século XVIII por clérigos locais.

Há também, perto do lugar uma série de pedras ligadas a lendas religiosas: as pedras santas, as pedras manchadas de vinho, a cadeira de pedra, etc. Há autores que identificam o cabo Finisterra com o antigo Promontório Nerio dos geógrafos romanos, enquanto outros situam neste lugar a Ara Solis, na qual se praticava o culto ao Sol.

 

O farol

 

O farol foi construído em 1853. A torre mede 17 metros e a sua luz, situada a 143 metros altura acima do nível do mar, alcança mais das 30 milhas náuticas. A constante névoa do Inverno provocou que lhe acrescentasse uma sirena em 1888, a Vaca de Finisterra, para avisar aos navegantes do perigo existente. Ainda assim, foi palco de naufrágios, como em 1870, quando o Monitor Captain se afundou levando 482 pessoas da sua tripulação no acontecimento mais lutuoso desta costa.

A torre, feita de cantaria, é de base octogonal, e acaba numa cornija sobre a que se apoia a varanda. Em cima fica a abóbada, com uma lanterna poligonal.

 

Batalhas do Cabo Finisterra

 

Foi palco de duas batalhas navais entre o Reino Unido e França, com vitória em ambos os casos para o Reino Unido.. A primeira teve lugar durante a guerra da sucessão austríaca, a 3 de Maio de 1747, enquanto a segunda ocorreu a 22 de Julho de 1805, durante as Guerras Napoleônicas.

 

Even the homeless need access to technology.

And we can't see, what you'll be, you can't disguise
