After months of speculation, her majesty has made an appearance upon the common folk.
Isabella young daughter to the mother I befriended at the flea-market I work weekends and who is now about a year and and a half in age.
When this photo was taken, I had not seen her presence in a while. Lo and behold she was walking in tow with her mom and all eyes on the hustle and bustle of the market goings on. Not exactly at the running stage, walked more like the shuffle of an old woman, taking cautious furtive steps with her mother's leg nearby as a safety net. She may not be a real princess in title, but in my eyes she certainly is

Stephen Pennells (Manchester World Development Movement (WDM) with Arlene McCarthy MEP presenting her with a petition of 80+ signatures raised at Gatley Festival the previous Sunday in supplement to the national petition of 2099 collected electronically on the national website. We had lobbied her about reform of MfID on Thurs. 5th. July 2012. The bag of "basics" flour with its price inflated 100x to £52- reflects the cost to a purchaser in a developing country when the price is inflated by casino speculation by bankers.
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.

A barge crew discovered female human remains Wednesday afternoon in the Des Plaines River, prompting speculation that Stacy Peterson or Lisa Stebic may have been found. A source said the remains looked like that of a smallish female wearing underwear, but that DNA testing likely would be required for a positive ID. Relatives of missing Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson said they've been contacted by state police, but the remains are still unidentified.

Maize is a Kenyan staple and forms the basis of many meals, usually as ugali, a cornmeal porridge. In 2008, the price of maize doubled, which prompted an outcry and demonstrations calling for action to bring the price down again.
One of two tinplate clockwork cars from the Marx 'Speed Trap' set. The set would have had a single track tinplate road, in sections similar to the Speedway sets, but in this version the blue police car was meant to catch the red car and thus push up the lever on the rear and turn the car off – note the different shape of the lever on the red car.
The front bumper is missing on the blue car which has a paper label reading 'Police Car' on the roof.
Although there is no markings on the cars, the sets' boxes were stated as 'Made in England' so we must assume that this includes the cars.
There is some speculation about the connections between the Marx sets and the Tippco Reichsautobahn system. These early cars may have drawn inspiration from the Tippco cars.
After months of speculation, British Steel finally closed their Redcar steel works on Friday 19th February 2010

frightening and delighting tourists and locals alike. Speculation is rampant about some stray canine day of reckoning. Local post modern Nostradamuses claim that the possible joining of the three legged Hieronymus Dog with the fabled Boneless Salvador Dali Cat and the Bubonic Marcel Duchamp Rat would mean the end is finally near. If they band together with the usually solitary Dada Cockroach (the Switzerland of the surrealist world), an absurbist wailing and gnashing of teeth can't be far behind.
The Anti-Cruelty Society has annouced that laws regarding humane treatment of animals still apply to this dog. Mistreatment would not only result in legal action, but could prompt Cerberus to emerge from his post at the Gates of Hell. The tourist board and the Office of the Mayor are working together on a possible three legged race event for the hosting of the Olympics. "If the end is near, what better place for it than in Chicago during the Olympics. If we can get a Riverboat Casino in here by then, prepare for a highly successful, and thoroughly enjoyable end. Free drink tickets will, of course, be provided." Available at the Decameron Beer Tent. Promotional soothsayer wished to remain anonymous.

Much speculation has surrounded the "nature of the beast" (if there is indeed one) contained in the new movie "Cloverfield" produced by "Lost" creator, JJ Abrams.
Through a series of clandestined activities, I was able to obtain this exclusive photo of the monster.
I've highlighted the creature via some sophisticated digital photo tools, but if you look closely, you'll find the terror awaiting us all who are anxious to see this movie.
I'm not sure how long it will be permitted to remain on Flickr, but for the time being, I'm willing to take that chance and post it here. I may incur the wrath of the Hollywood elite and their army of lawyers, but I feel it is important to let the truth out.
Wish me luck.
(Honest folks...I am looking forward to this movie, a lot!)
The physical nature of lunar rays has historically been a subject of speculation. Early hypotheses suggested that they were deposits of salt from evaporated water. Later they were thought to be deposits of volcanic ash or streaks of dust. After the impact origin of craters became accepted, Eugene Shoemaker suggested during the 1960s that the rays were the result of fragmented ejecta material.
Recent studies suggest that the relative brightness of a lunar ray system is not always a reliable indicator of the age of a ray system. Instead the albedo also depends on the portion of iron oxide (FeO). Low portions of FeO result in brighter materials, so such a ray system can retain its lighter appearance for longer periods. Thus the material composition needs to be factored into the albedo analysis to determine age.
Among the lunar craters on the near side with pronounced ray systems are Aristarchus, Copernicus, Kepler, Proclus, Dionysius, Censorinus, Glushko, and Tycho. Similar ray systems also occur on the far side of the Moon, such as the rays radiating from the craters Giordano Bruno, Necho, Ohm, Jackson, King, and the small but prominent Pierazzo.
North Ray and South Ray craters, each with a clear ray system, were observed from the ground by the astronauts of Apollo 16 in 1972. WIKIPEDIA

FULL DISCLOSURE: what follows is pure speculation on my part and is not based on any inside knowledge that I have; it is purely educated guesswork. What I will think will happen at ILM/Lucasfilm Animation, specifically where Star Wars is concerned. - Lucasfilm Animation will be re-branded under the Walt Disney Animation banner, and subsequent seasons of The Clone Wars animated show will be produced in Singapore as they are presently. - The hush-hush fairies/rockabilly CG feature that Lucasfilm Animation have been on/off with over the past 6 years will either be shut down or get a quiet DVD release under the Walt Disney banner. - ILM will continue to serve external clients as they always have done, with an increasing reliance on satellite offices around the world in major production centres. - Star Wars VII visual effects will be centered in San Francisco with a small core team, with the majority of the work produced at ILM Singapore and by a network of tightly controlled 3rd-party vendors all over the world.

'Landscapes of speculation' explores the role of unbuilt sites as ephemeral landscapes conceived by real estate market. Santiago de Chile, as many latin-american countries, is a fast-paced growing city under a free market economy. The transformation of land into a commodity has imposed the logic of speculation onto traditional city developing processes, leaving purposedly undeveloped lots in between highly demanded areas.
These somewhat invisible spaces are closed to the eyes of the passerby; they are not meant to be experienced in their actual conditions, and as such they exist in a liminal situation between nature and currency, space and metaphor. Under this threshold state, space is subject to - or defended from - social practices that are themselves outcasted from contemporary cities. This has led me to wonder about the value this landscapes have to contemporary culture, as they range from 'archeological registries' of economic pressures over land to highly representational and personal spaces.
World wide economic crisis... Will speculation end up in the bin ?

Abstract:
The field of digital signal processing (DSP) has been a very active area of research and application for more than six decades. This broad development has paralleled in time the rapid development of high-speed electronic digital computers, microelectronics and integrated circuit fabrication technologies. An ever-increasing assortment of integrated circuits specifically tailored to perform common DSP functions is available to the design engineer as system building blocks or parts-in-trade. DSP methodologies have been applied to consumer electronics, communications, automotive electronics, instrumentation, medical electronics, tomography and acoustic imaging, cartography, seismology, speech recognition, robotics and other fields. In his talk, Dr. Mitra will provide a brief overview of the initial developments in DSP and review some of the important advances made during the nearly-60-year period of its growth, and will describe a number of its key applications. He will conclude with speculation on DSP’s future trends and directions.

This elevator was originally built by speculation that the CPR was to bring a sub from Stavely to Champion into the area, but that never happened so the elevator has since sat empty and neglected..
