"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."

My recent trip to the moma was really inspiring...it's been awhile since I've been there, and there was a lot to see. Room of One Color by Olafur Eliasson inspired me to take a fresh look at these photos.
When you walk into the Room of One Color, everything turns monochromatic. Yi speculated that maybe this is the way a dog views the world; this led me thinking that we as people are all always in a room of one color in a sense; just because we can see more than just yellow and black and white normally doesn't mean we see all their is to see.
We are bound to miss things just by seeing them

Artistic speculation of a relative elevation model for Sikun Labyrinthus, Titan. In this graphic, a crop of the T39 SAR RADAR Swath (Planetary Photojournal PIA10219) has been draped over the colorized elavation model.
This graphic attempts to use channel and valley relationships in different terrain units to infer relative elevation in the region around Sikun Labyrinthus on Titan.
Low order --> high order = upstream --> downstream = higher elevation --> lower elevation.
While many of the terrain units could be placed on a relative scale, others are speculative. So this is partly artistic speculation rather than hard science. Still, most of the observed relationships seem to fit the model.
Pixel values are relative, not absolute. Blue indicates lower relative elevations, while yellows and orange indictes higher relative elevations. North is at top in the image.

Britney Spears' "X Factor" exit is now official.
Responding to "sourced reports and speculation," the pop star's rep confirmed that Spears will not be back for season three. "Britney did decide, and is in fact not returning to 'X Factor,'" read a statement issued on Friday.
The singer herself added: "I've made the very difficult decision not to return for another season. I had an incredible time doing the show and I love the other judges and I am so proud of my teens but it's time for me to get back in the studio," said Spears. "Watching them all do their thing up on that stage every week made me miss performing so much! I can't wait to get back out there and do what I love most."
When news of her imminent departure began circulating on Monday, Fox network brass had yet to receive or hand down the official word. On Friday, the statement confirms that "Fox has been informed."
Spears is currently working on a new album, her eighth since 1999's "…Baby One More Time," with such collaborators as will.i.am, Ester Dean and Hit-Boy. Her most recent album, 2011's "Femme Fatale," was certified platinum, marking sales of over 1 million units.
On Thursday, THR reported that Spears has signed with CAA. According to TMZ, Spears is in "serious talks" to headline a Las Vegas show.
The media is awash with speculation over President Pervez Musharraf's "impending" resignation. Our sources tell us to expect "big news" on Monday (August 18th) and it may not necessarily involve Musharraf resigning.

“Seattle drivers are paying at the pump for excessive oil speculation, while federal regulators have blown off deadlines and failed to act,” Senator Cantwell said.“In last year’s Wall Street Reform law, we gave the financial cops the tools they need to rein in rampant oil speculation and protect consumers. Today, we’re demanding that they use those tools to help relieve the burden of gas prices on families and small businesses in Seattle and across the country.”

For many years, since the discovery of the first cave paintings shed light onto our origins as a human species, there has been much intensive speculation about the existence of a “missing link” connecting man with the apes that preceded him. Here at the Pastime Athletic Club, we proudly announce that we believe we have found this link, embodied in the person of our Club Devolver, Messmaker.
Several of the Red Suit Enthusiasts came upon the mischievous Messmaker during a spelunking expedition in Guatemala. For a time, she trailed this party with the stealth of a master of espionage, allowing only fleeting glimpses of a prehensile tail or furry paw to give the explorers a hint of her presence. The banana skins found draped across their rucksacks that evening, though, raised suspicions among the crew, and they set about poking torches into shadowy crevices to unearth the source of this potassium-rich mystery.
Years spent spying gleefully on slow-witted intruders, many of whom brought with them motives of destruction and exploitation, had given Messmaker a natural wariness of man, combined with the ability to become almost invisible at will; stories from across the world of Sasquatch or the famous Yeti can be attributed to our Devolver and her cunning at evading discovery and capture. A few moments spent in observation of the joviality and high spirits exuded by the Enthusiasts was enough, however, to convince our precocious Devolver of their purity of purpose. She leapt down among them from an overhanging stalactite, producing an effect of great bewilderment and genuine surprise. Quick to recover and no stranger to the Earth’s many oddities, the Club’s adventurers reacted with characteristic enthusiasm, welcoming this evolutionary oddity into their midst.
Today, in addition to amusing us with her constant high-spirited trickery, Messmaker stands as a constant reminder of the tenuous threads that separate us from the beasts of the wild, and of the fascinating spectrum of evolutionary wonders the world has wrought.

John Thornton refuses to enter into "Speculation" in order to save his cotton mill from bankruptcy in the novel "North & South" by Elizabeth Gaskell. The moment I captured is a scene during which it is suggested to him by a local banker that he invest in a scheme in order to raise money quickly. Haunted by the suicide of his father under similar circumstances, the idea is repellent to him.
