Inspired by the global speculation of the 2012 phenomenon, REVELATION puts light on the Egyptian’s belief in the renewal of mankind during the catastrophic event. The belief in the new way of life influenced the collection’s vision to challenge and push the boundaries of menswear. Egyptian gods are personified by fashionably reincarnating them into modern day “street gods”. It resurrects the divinity and opulence of ancient Egypt through OTT (Over The Top) sensibility and striking DIY aesthetic in street art and fashion. The street gods are envisioned to be transported right into Japan, 2012, living and breathing the air in the streets of Harajuku where the very aspect of OTT flair is celebrated and desired. Exploring specially into the experimental spirit of the Japanese street style, the pieces were made in a mélange of opposing elements, unconventional silhouettes, clashing hues and materials which bears the iconic essence of the ancient Egypt. This collection aims to retain achaotic equilibrium while simultaneously fabricating a booming visual orgasm: A revelation exhilaration.
With the initiation of a cease-fire in the IDF retribution for the continued strikes by Hamas on Israel, news reporters around the globe are turning either to find other news or to speculation.
The funny thing about speculation is that it changes as more reality is revealed to us. Take speculation about the identity of the Anti-Christ for instance. Throughout modern history, i.e., anno domini, nearly every generation has had a new idea of who the Antichrist might be, or from whence he will come. Every speculation has had major problems in terms of being aligned with Scripture. The EU has certainly disappointed scholars who predicted that it would become the seat of government for a one world government.
We are not saying that Morsi is the Antichrist, but he does “fit the bill” better than anyone else in the past.
He fits the bill because of the intense world focus on Israel and the disputed territories occupied by so-called Palestinians – the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights, and the West Bank – and Morsi’s appearance on the scene, not only in the middle of the Muslim World, but also as a “peacemaker.” The Bible indicates that the Antichrist will appear on the scene in proclaiming peace, proposing peace, and promising peace. Elected to the presidency of Egypt on behalf of the powerful terrorist organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, Morsi “resigned” from the MB after the election and has promised peace. Now he and Hilary Clinton have brokered the Gaza cease fire. This will only draw Morsi deeper into the equation.
Morsi’s agenda is peace. Immediately after his election he began visiting other Muslim countries, laying the ground work for peace and cooperation until, with a unified front, they are strong enough to defeat Israel and establish a world-wide Islamic Caliphate ruled from Jerusalem. Of course, Morsi would be the ruler.
Whilst most Christians have believed that the one world ruler will come out of the Holy Roman Empire, that is about par for Western thinking. Others believe that he will be a Jew, because Christ came as a descendant of Abraham. But, could he be a Muslim? The Muslims also believe that he will be a descendant of Abraham, which all of the Arabs are through Ishmael.
The Bible says that at the end of the age the world will believe a lie and that its deception will be so strong as to deceive even the very elect. (II Thessalonians 2:11)
Revelation chapter 13 takes on whole new appearance if one gives thought to the possibility of who Morsi might be. The first beast rises out of the sea. The second come out of the earth with horns like a lamb (Peace), but speaking with words like a dragon (“Resistance is the correct and only way to free the land from the filth of the Jews.”) As for the beast rising out of the sea, the question that might be asked is “How far across a vast sea did John see?”
Remember, these are only ponderings on how the current news reflects both Christian and Islamic perspectives on the end times. If we continue to think that the Holy Roman Empire is the source of the coming one world government, we fail to understand the agenda of the Islamic religion since the Middle Ages, and we fail to look at current events within the perspective of a correct worldview.
Think about it. More important by far, pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6), both now and in the days to come.

So why was Choco abandoned? Any attempt to explain this is spectulation. But speculation by the decendants of the Chocoan people, the Puebloan people of today, does carry a bit more weight. Today's Pueblo people believe that the Chacoan people had become too powerful, had gained too much knowlledge than they could safley use, and they had come to recognize this. The fact that they left just as the climate changed and the once fertile land was becoming inhospitable would cerainly make ancient people believe that. One thing is certain: The buildings at Choco recorded amazing knowledge of the movements of the sun, moon, and stars. When the Pueblo people moved on and built new settlements, none of their buildings reflected any of this knowledge. Nor do any of their present-day traditions reflect such knowledge. It is as if they intentionally forgot everything they knew about the movement of the heavenly bodies when they left Choco.
Photograph taken in Derry/Londonderry in July 1942 showing an operations map in an undisclosed building within the United States Naval Operating Base (USNOB).
Speculation about the existence of a command bunker within the grounds of Magee College was highlighted in the BBC TV series 'Dive WW2' in 2013. Subsequent press articles elaborated on the story one of which cited an account stating 'a massive glass wall ran along the middle of one room'. While little information exists on the precise location of this image the map does bear a resemblance to a similar example that existed in the Operations Room of Derby House, Liverpool, home of Western Approaches Command. While the Londonderry USNOB records give a relatively detailed account of each of the facilities the US Navy operated at around the City. That for the Administration Building is surprisingly brief and somewhat vague in the details provided.
In this image, the Signalman on the ladder would appear to be placing a marker at the mouth of Lough Foyle while on the right observing, is Captain Leo Hewlett Thebaud, who served as Commander, United States Escort Control at the base.
Thebaud was born on February 15th, 1890, and graduated from the United States Naval Academy, class of 1913. He was assigned to the battleship USS Wyoming (BB-32) and subsequently served on a number of other ships and also as Assistant Naval Attaché in Paris, Madrid, and Lisbon.
By the outbreak of war, Thebaud had been appointed Commander of Destroyer Squadron Thirteen. He later served as Commander, United States Escort Control, and Senior Officer Present Afloat (SOPA) at the US Naval Operating Base Londonderry, supporting convoy operations.
Afterward, he commanded the cruiser USS Boise in the Mediterranean and received his first Legion of Merit award during the Invasion of Sicily.
By the end of WW2, he was appointed Director of Naval Intelligence and continued serving in the post-war years before transfer to the retired list in 1952. Theuband died on April 18, 1980, in Bethesda, Maryland, and is buried at the United States Naval Academy Cemetery, Annapolis, Maryland.
Eruption goes on, there were speculations among scientist this morning that it was going to stop after a less intense eruptions this morning, but in midday it almost got as intense as yesterday.
I heard a new name for this eruption and I like it. It is Mila or Mila fires, that name comes from the company that is webcasting live from the eruption.
If you want to see high quality photos of this eruption, then I recommend this site:

(No. 1 of 'Four Quartets')
Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden. My words echo
Thus, in your mind.
But to what purpose
Disturbing the dust on a bowl of rose-leaves
I do not know.
Other echoes
Inhabit the garden. Shall we follow?
Quick, said the bird, find them, find them,
Round the corner. Through the first gate,
Into our first world, shall we follow
The deception of the thrush? Into our first world.
There they were, dignified, invisible,
Moving without pressure, over the dead leaves,
In the autumn heat, through the vibrant air,
And the bird called, in response to
The unheard music hidden in the shrubbery,
And the unseen eyebeam crossed, for the roses
Had the look of flowers that are looked at.
There they were as our guests, accepted and accepting.
So we moved, and they, in a formal pattern,
Along the empty alley, into the box circle,
To look down into the drained pool.
Dry the pool, dry concrete, brown edged,
And the pool was filled with water out of sunlight,
And the lotos rose, quietly, quietly,
The surface glittered out of heart of light,
And they were behind us, reflected in the pool.
Then a cloud passed, and the pool was empty.
Go, said the bird, for the leaves were full of children,
Hidden excitedly, containing laughter.
Go, go, go, said the bird: human kind
Cannot bear very much reality.
Time past and time future
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.
II
Garlic and sapphires in the mud
Clot the bedded axle-tree.
The trilling wire in the blood
Sings below inveterate scars
Appeasing long forgotten wars.
The dance along the artery
The circulation of the lymph
Are figured in the drift of stars
Ascend to summer in the tree
We move above the moving tree
In light upon the figured leaf
And hear upon the sodden floor
Below, the boarhound and the boar
Pursue their pattern as before
But reconciled among the stars.
At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.
I can only say, there we have been: but I cannot say where.
And I cannot say, how long, for that is to place it in time.
The inner freedom from the practical desire,
The release from action and suffering, release from the inner
And the outer compulsion, yet surrounded
By a grace of sense, a white light still and moving,
Erhebung without motion, concentration
Without elimination, both a new world
And the old made explicit, understood
In the completion of its partial ecstasy,
The resolution of its partial horror.
Yet the enchainment of past and future
Woven in the weakness of the changing body,
Protects mankind from heaven and damnation
Which flesh cannot endure.
Time past and time future
Allow but a little consciousness.
To be conscious is not to be in time
But only in time can the moment in the rose-garden,
The moment in the arbour where the rain beat,
The moment in the draughty church at smokefall
Be remembered; involved with past and future.
Only through time time is conquered.
III
Here is a place of disaffection
Time before and time after
In a dim light: neither daylight
Investing form with lucid stillness
Turning shadow into transient beauty
With slow rotation suggesting permanence
Nor darkness to purify the soul
Emptying the sensual with deprivation
Cleansing affection from the temporal.
Neither plenitude nor vacancy. Only a flicker
Over the strained time-ridden faces
Distracted from distraction by distraction
Filled with fancies and empty of meaning
Tumid apathy with no concentration
Men and bits of paper, whirled by the cold wind
That blows before and after time,
Wind in and out of unwholesome lungs
Time before and time after.
Eructation of unhealthy souls
Into the faded air, the torpid
Driven on the wind that sweeps the gloomy hills of London,
Hampstead and Clerkenwell, Campden and Putney,
Highgate, Primrose and Ludgate. Not here
Not here the darkness, in this twittering world.
Descend lower, descend only
Into the world of perpetual solitude,
World not world, but that which is not world,
Internal darkness, deprivation
And destitution of all property,
Desiccation of the world of sense,
Evacuation of the world of fancy,
Inoperancy of the world of spirit;
This is the one way, and the other
Is the same, not in movement
But abstention from movement; while the world moves
In appetency, on its metalled ways
Of time past and time future.
IV
Time and the bell have buried the day,
The black cloud carries the sun away.
Will the sunflower turn to us, will the clematis
Stray down, bend to us; tendril and spray
Clutch and cling?
Chill
Fingers of yew be curled
Down on us? After the kingfisher's wing
Has answered light to light, and is silent, the light is still
At the still point of the turning world.
V
Words move, music moves
Only in time; but that which is only living
Can only die. Words, after speech, reach
Into the silence. Only by the form, the pattern,
Can words or music reach
The stillness, as a Chinese jar still
Moves perpetually in its stillness.
Not the stillness of the violin, while the note lasts,
Not that only, but the co-existence,
Or say that the end precedes the beginning,
And the end and the beginning were always there
Before the beginning and after the end.
And all is always now. Words strain,
Crack and sometimes break, under the burden,
Under the tension, slip, slide, perish,
Decay with imprecision, will not stay in place,
Will not stay still. Shrieking voices
Scolding, mocking, or merely chattering,
Always assail them. The Word in the desert
Is most attacked by voices of temptation,
The crying shadow in the funeral dance,
The loud lament of the disconsolate chimera.
The detail of the pattern is movement,
As in the figure of the ten stairs.
Desire itself is movement
Not in itself desirable;
Love is itself unmoving,
Only the cause and end of movement,
Timeless, and undesiring
Except in the aspect of time
Caught in the form of limitation
Between un-being and being.
Sudden in a shaft of sunlight
Even while the dust moves
There rises the hidden laughter
Of children in the foliage
Quick now, here, now, always—
Ridiculous the waste sad time
Stretching before and after.
—T.S. Eliot

How Architecture Learned to Speculate
Mona Mahall and Asli Serbest
December 2009
For the first time, the speculative in architecture becomes a topic of critical research. It is investigated, not as idealistic but as strategic acting within endless modernity. This modernity implies that speculation, as strategic acting, is not only applied to economic, but also to political, and aesthetic values. The consequences? Values become mobile, valuations become a play with high and low, authors (architects) become winners or losers, and culture becomes fashion.

What is the purpose of the mainstream media continuous wild speculation on how bad China may get now that China is gradually moving away from its zero Covid policy? As shown by the Johns Hopkins global map above, the number of China's new Covid cases in the last 28-day dropped to 876,604 on December 22 from 917,308 the day before.
These so called free press all use the same source to blow up their speculations. In this case, a UK group called o Airfinity Ltd, a privately held commercial for profit enterprise, but provided no data to back up the claim..

China Is Likely Seeing 1 Million Covid Cases, 5,000 Deaths a Day
China is likely experiencing 1 million Covid infections and 5,000 virus deaths every day as it grapples with what is expected to be the biggest outbreak the world has ever seen, according to a new analysis.
The situation could get even worse for the country of 1.4 billion people. This current wave may see the daily case rate rise to 3.7 million in January, according to Airfinity Ltd., a London-based research firm that focuses on predictive health analytics and has been tracking the pandemic since it first emerged. There’ll likely then be another surge of infections that will push the daily peak to 4.2 million in March, the group estimated.

Health Canada monitoring massive COVID outbreak 'starting to rip through' China
More than 5,000 people are probably dying each day from COVID-19 in China, health data firm Airfinity estimated, offering a dramatic contrast to official data from Beijing on the country’s current outbreak.
The U.K.-based firm said it had used modelling based on regional Chinese data to produce figures that also put current daily infections in the country at above a million.
Its estimates were “in stark contrast to the official data, which is reporting 1,800 cases and only seven official deaths over the past week,” it said in a statement.
China’s National Health Commission (NHC) reported Thursday no new COVID-19 deaths and 2,966 new local symptomatic cases for Dec. 21.
Airfinity said its mortality risk analysis suggested between 1.3 to 2.1 million people could die in China’s current COVID outbreak. Analysis by other modelling groups has also predicted as many as 2.1 million deaths.

China is likely seeing over a million COVID cases and 5,000 deaths a day, report says. But Beijing's official data is showing 7 deaths so far this week.
More than 5,000 people are likely dying from COVID-19 in China each day — in stark contrast to Beijing's official count of just seven deaths in the past week, according to Airfinity, a health data company.
Airfinity's data modelling shows China is likely seeing over 1 million COVID cases a day, in what it called a "stark contrast" to official figures, per a press release on Wednesday.

Treating at-risk groups key task
Medical centers urged to coordinate resources to lessen impact of outbreak
China's top health authority on Thursday stressed ramping up treatment for vulnerable COVID-19 patients, as well as reinforcing preparedness of elderly care facilities and emergency care resources, as part of efforts to lessen the impact of the disease.
The National Health Commission said that tertiary hospitals — large, general hospitals in cities — should devote all efforts to treating elderly and child COVID-19 patients showing serious symptoms, and each hospital should be paired with a specific area and county-level clinics to provide targeted assistance.
Secondary hospitals — those sitting on the middle level of China's three-tier hospital system — should be paired with local elderly care homes. However, no hospitals are allowed to reject serious COVID-19 patients transferred from outside regions assigned to them, the commission said.
"Meanwhile, medical institutions should pay close attention to key facilities such as elderly care homes and key services such as first aid care to ensure the orderly operation of healthcare systems," it said.
"Coordination and allocation of medical resources should be improved, and more efforts should be dedicated to monitoring the epidemic situation, flattening the curve and addressing public complaints," it added.
Local medical capacities are being tested as a wave of COVID-19 infections is hitting cities across China and experts are calling for directing limited resources to the most susceptible groups, including seniors and those with preexisting illnesses.
Zhang Wenhong, head of the infectious disease department at Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, said during a forum on Wednesday that the key to weathering the first wave is suppressing the scale of local outbreaks to lower than the full capacity of healthcare systems.
Based on the experiences in some foreign countries, Zhang suggested reinstating some nonpharmaceutical measures such as suspending schools, encouraging work from home and limiting gatherings when hospitals are overwhelmed.
It is also vital to stock sufficient drugs and vaccines, accelerate booster immunization campaigns, enhance community health services and implement triage protocols, he added.
Cao Bin, vice-president of China-Japan Friendship Hospital and head of its respiratory and critical care department, said that even though the rates of hospitalization, admission into critical care departments and intubation or deaths have all fallen for Omicron patients compared to those infected with the Delta strain, the much higher transmissibility of Omicron means that spiking infection numbers will likely lead to excess deaths.
He said most COVID-19 patients suffering viral pneumonia are from vulnerable groups, including people age 65 and above and those living with obesity, multiple chronic diseases, tumors or immunocompromised conditions.
He suggested patients deemed at high risk be given antiviral drugs at an early stage and their oxygen levels be measured regularly.

China's COVID-19 fight in numbers: Lowest excess deaths globally
China's COVID-19 control measures may have prevented more than 50,000 people from dying between 2020 and 2021, according to estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO).
The WHO estimates of excess mortality, released in May, calculated as the difference between the number of deaths that occurred and the number that would be expected in the absence of the pandemic based on data from earlier years, show that the full death toll associated directly or indirectly with the COVID-19 pandemic was approximately 14.9 million.
The mean number for accumulated excess deaths in China was minus 52,063, the lowest among all 194 countries listed in the WHO dataset.
The Church of St Alkelda, Giggleswick (historically St Alkald), is an Anglican church in the village of Giggleswick, North Yorkshire, England. St Alkelda's was the mother church for the extended parish of Giggleswick, until the church in Settle was built in 1838, and later became a separate parish.
The dedication of the church is to a little-known Saxon princess (Alkelda) with connections to a religious site in Middleham, North Yorkshire, with much speculation as to how the dedication arrived at the church in Giggleswick. The church is still in use as a place of worship.
A church is believed to have existed on the site of St Alkelda's since Saxon times, however, the church that stands today is largely from the 14th and 15th centuries, with alterations and renovations in the late 19th and early 21st centuries. A previous church is believed to have been destroyed by marauding scots c. 1319. The first documented reference to a church in Giggleswick was in 1160, when "Laurentius, persona de Guckilswic", mentioned the site in a letter written to William de Percy. The church is one of only two that are dedicated to St Alkelda in England, the other, is in Middleham, also in North Yorkshire. Alkelda was a Saxon princess who was said to have been strangled by two Danish women during the Viking invasions. The name Alkelda, is said to derive from either Alchhild or Halig Keld, the latter name has been associated with holy springs. Such a spring existed in Giggleswick, being the source of the now drained Giggleswick Tarn.It is possible that the name Alkelda stems from this spring.
Another possibility is that the church had an early association with the church of the same name at Middleham. Alkelda is believed to have been buried at Middleham, and that the church at Giggleswick became a daughter house of worship to the church there, after the Northumbrian kings took over lands in the Craven area c. 670.
Records show that the church at Giggleswick was given by Henry de Puteaco in 1200, to the monks at Finchale, near Durham. It was still in the possession of Finchale thirty years before the Dissolution of the Monasteries, where a document indicates that the church belonged to the "prior and convent of Durham".
In 1507, a record indicates the granting of half an acre of land to build "a gramar scole[sic] for boys". Staff and pupils from the adjacent Giggleswick School attended services at the church, even paying for gas to be installed for later afternoon services when their numbers threatened to overwhelm the local population. The renovation of 1880 was paid for with money raised from the current and former pupils at the school. This continued until 1901, when the school opened up its own chapel.
Architecturally, the style of the church ranges between Early English and Perpendicular, being described as "..a spacious and handsome structure in the later English style, with a square embattled tower." Most of the glass in the church dates from the 15th century when it was renovated, but a newer piece was installed in the 2010s. Whilst looking through the parish room, two churchwardens discovered a stained glass window depicting St Alkelda being strangled by a sash held by two priestly hands, whilst she was suspended over water. This was later dated to between 1920 and 1930, but no other provenance came to light. The window was later installed in the church.
The organ, built by Abbott and Smith, was installed in 1892 and extensively renovated in 2005 by a company based in York.
The church is linked to the only other Anglican Church dedicated to St Alkelda in Yorkshire, the Church of St Mary and St Alkelda, Middleham, via the 33-mile (53 km) St Alkelda's Way.
In 2020, the church gained permission to install solar panels on its roof to help it save energy and reduce its carbon footprint. No objections were raised by official bodies such as Historic England, as the panels are on a roof that cannot be viewed from ground level.
Despite Settle being the main market town in the area, St Alkelda's was always the mother church, until the Church of Holy Ascension was built in Settle in 1838. The ancient parish that St Alkelda's was responsible for, consisted of over 18,500 acres (7,500 ha) and included; Giggleswick, Langcliffe, Rathmell with Wigglesworth, Settle, and Stainforth. Giggleswick was the ecclesiastical parish town until 1851, when Langcliffe was created as its own parish, with the same happening to Settle in 1898.
Activists from Manchester (South) and Macclesfield WDM groups lobbied Chris Davies (LD MEP for the NW of England) on Friday 27th. April 2012 at his surgery over their concerns about food speculation and the pressures brought by financial elites such as Barclays Capital and hedge funds who trade in contracts with no interest in the production of food or its processing and delivery to consumers. In particular we were anxious to encourage him to follow the lead given by farmers in Scotland and several business leaders who are calling for the EU to follow the US lead in bringing in effective regulation of markets, increasing transparency of dealings by demanding it occurs in exchanges (analogous to the Stock Exchange), that clear and predictable limits are put on the amount that traders or groups of traders can hold (rather than the ineffective regime of "position management" currently allowing irresponsible anarchy that only favours the financial elite), and mandatory, open and clear reporting on positions held by traders.

The reason for the speculations regarding Katie Cassidy plastic surgery isprobably due to the fact that she has attempted to change her look several times.
On the day of a key European parliamentary vote on food speculation, campaigners from Campact, Friends of the Earth Europe, SOS-Faim and the World Development Movement lay out 925 pots and pans outside the European parliament. 925 represents the number of people hungry in the world today. Campaigners also present a petition with 100k signatories to key Euro MPs.

Rail Garden
Old Rail Viaduct was built in 1845 and due to it being weakened (together with the sandstone viaduct, which is the entry point to the garden) by coal freight, was replaced by the New bridge. Charles Jencks in helping to design the new bridge, had engineers construct a 2-linear-acre garden for him along the original tracks using the detritus from the old bridge and the railway bed.

Eruption goes on, there were speculations among scientist this morning that it was going to stop after a less intense eruptions this morning, but in midday it almost got as intense as yesterday.
I heard a new name for this eruption and I like it. It is Mila or Mila fires, that name comes from the company that is webcasting live from the eruption.
If you want to see high quality photos of this eruption, then I recommend this site:
gudmann.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Volcanic-Eruption-...
Here is a live webcam of the eruption:
iPhone 3.98" (3:2) 62 mm x 115 mm
Missing Link 6.44" (5:3) 112 mm x 180 mm
iPad 9.7" (4:3) 186 mm x 241 mm
The first mockup of the speculated 3rd category of iOS device was not really good. More an extreme way to show a possible different path Apple could follow, other than the 7.85" rumored iPad mini.
This new mockup include both a 1080x720 4" iPhone (same height and few mm more in width), and a better-looking better-shaped 6.4" Missing Link at 1800x1080 (roughly as large as the iPhone is tall, and as tall as the iPad is large), both sharing the same pixel density 326 ppi. This screen size is almost exactly surface-wise in the middle of the 2 other devices, with a 2.5x factor (comparison).
Such a 6.4" device could use, before dedicated apps, any iPhone apps at 1.5x, probably more realist than use shrinked iPad apps on a 7.85" screen as most rumors expect.
The map shows the sites of Odysseus' wanderings as they have been reconstructed by scholars, relying in part on descriptions in the Odyssey itself and in part on the speculations of ancient writers like Strabo and Eratosthenes. The voyage home proceeds in the following order.
The fall of Troy.
Ismarus, the country of the Cicones. Now part of Bulgaria.
Blown off course past Cape Malea
Land of the Lotus-Eaters, often identified as the coast of Libya, but also on the southern tip of Greece.
The Cyclopes' island, perhaps the steep slopes of Mt. Eryx at northwestern corner of Sicily.
Aiolia island, home of Aeolus. Made of bronze and capable of travel like a modern ocean liner.
Almost home to Ithaca
The Laestrygonians, Bonifacio, on the southeastern tip of Corsica, where there is a narrow harbor and steep cliffs.
Aiaia, Circe's isle. Capo Circeo, once an island on the Italian coast southwest of Rome, now a peninsula.
The land of the dead. Not an "underowrld, but an island somewhere iin the Atlantic past Gibralter (the "Pillars of Heracles)".. Then back to Circe.
The Sirens, lurking on o ne of the islands north of Sicily.
The Wandering Rocks.
Scylla and Charybdis, perhaps the northern entrance to the straits of Messina (Sicily), where a massive chunk of rock is still called Scylla.
Thrinacia, where the oxen of Helius graze.
Ogygia, Calypso's isle, perhaps Gozo, one of three islands in the Malta group, where there is a cave bearing Calypso's name.
Scheria or Phaeacia, perhaps Corfu, an island near the western coast of Greece
Ithaca.
After months of speculation and spy shots the crew at Maranello have finally revealed their new mid-engined V8 powered creation to replace the F430. The all-new 458 Italia won't be shown in public until September's Frankfurt Motor Show the details were released early this morning. A new direct-injected 4.5-liter V8 ups the power ante it 570 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque. Eighty percent of that torque is now available at an impressively low 3,250 rpm, thanks probably in part to the 12.5:1 compression ratio.
Like last years California convertible, the 458 gets a 7-speed dual clutch gearbox to send power to the rear axle. A lot of work on reducing the internal friction of the powerplant in addition to reduced aerodynamic drag also helps improve the 458s mileage to a combined 17.1 mpg (US) on the EU test cycle. No mention is made so far of incorporating any type of KERS hybrid system which has been rumored. That may come at a later date.
Like its predecessor the the structure is fabricated out of aluminum giving the 458 a dry weight of just 3,042 pounds. This is after a Ferrari so talk of fuel consumption really does seem pointless. The real question is how quick is it? Based on specs at least, this new coupe does not disappoint. Acceleration to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes just 3.4 seconds and this is the first production Ferrari V8 to top the 200 mph barrier, now getting to 202 mph.
Nothing like rising gas prices to put voters off......... speculation that gas prices are going to hit [$5-00 per gallon is damaging President Obama](www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/12/usa-energy-obama-idUSL...)........ here is an old picture of a particularly cool NYC taxi driver arriving at the gas station at 24th and 9th in Chelsea NYC ....... to fill up ....... smoking a roll up....... always a wise move at the gas station I find ........ hehehehehe ..........

"Hannah Courtoy (1784 - 26 January 1849), born Hannah Peters, was a London society woman who inherited a fortune from the merchant John Courtoy in 1815. Her distinctive Egyptian-style mausoleum in London's Brompton Cemetery has been the subject of considerable curiosity and speculation ever since a report by Reuters in 1998 repeated claims that it contained a working time machine.
"Hannah Courtoy was born Hannah Peters in 1784. She never married but had three daughters, Mary Ann (1801), Elizabeth (1804-1876), and Susannah (1807-1895). In 1830, Susannah married Septimus Holmes Godson, a barrister of Gray's Inn.
"In 1815, Courtoy inherited a fortune from the elderly merchant John Courtoy (born Nicholas Jacquinet in France, 1709) through a Will that was disputed in court.
"Courtoy's distinctive Egyptian-style mausoleum of 1854 in Brompton Cemetery, where her unmarried daughters Elizabeth and Mary Ann are also interred, has been the subject of considerable curiosity ever since a report by Reuters in 1998 reported on rumours that it might be or contain a working time machine, a speculation that has been fuelled by various articles written by the musician Stephen Coates of the band The Real Tuesday Weld."

"Brompton Cemetery is a London cemetery in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It is managed by The Royal Parks, and is one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries. Established by Act of Parliament and erected in 1839, it opened in 1840 and was originally known as the West of London and Westminster Cemetery.
"Consecrated by Charles James Blomfield, the Bishop of London in June 1840, it is one of Britain's oldest and most distinguished garden cemeteries. Some 35,000 monuments, from simple headstones to substantial mausolea, mark the resting place of more than 205,000 burials. The site includes large plots for family mausolea, and common graves where coffins are piled deep into the earth, as well as a small columbarium. There is also a secluded Garden of Remembrance at the northern end, for cremated remains. It is also an urban haven for nature.
"By the early years of the 19th century, inner city burial grounds, mostly churchyards, had long been unable to cope with the number of burials and were seen as a hazard to health and an undignified way to treat the dead. In 1837 a decision was made to lay out a new burial ground in Brompton, London. The moving spirit behind the project was the engineer, Stephen Geary, and it was necessary to form a company in order to get parliamentary permission to raise capital for the purpose. Securing the land – some 40 acres – from local landowner, Lord Kensington and the Equitable Gas Light Company, as well as raising the money proved an extended challenge. The cemetery became one of seven large, new cemeteries founded by private companies in the mid-19th century (sometimes called the 'Magnificent Seven') forming a ring around the edge of London."
