Ripping up the techy downhill on the Flat Creek Loop at the Aska Area Trails (aka Rich Mountain) near Blue Ridge, GA. This is only a 20 mile ride, but there's 4,000' of gain in those miles. One of the toughest, most satisfying rides in Georgia....
I did this face-up a little while back for a friend of mine. He has some beauty marks over his face :)
I also had to sand his cheeks to his face would become a bit thinner. The originally round cheeks of this mold were not really fitting the character she had in mind for him.
I love Matilda in Winter, but this Winter her fur hasn't fluffed up like it usually does. I don't know why...I know they've had two bouts of ringworm, but not anymore, not sure if it's the result of the poisoning...or another theory I have is that she might be allergic to the flea treatment. I buy the large dog revolution and then use a syringe and needle to extract the right amount for a cat dose and I can do 5 cats with one pippette of flea treatment, works out to be about $3.50 per cat rather than $11.00 per cat when I was using the cat flea treatment. She has a big b bald patch near where I dosed her on her neck....and I know last month one of the cats had something similar but I cant remember which cat, but it was a smaller bald patch...so I'll be using the cat one in future on Matilda....I miss her good looks. I know she looks great here...but usually her head fur is quite thicker and lion like.
A head-on collision that got my attention about twenty minutes ago. It sounded like it was in my house, but was actually about 120 yards away. A main commercial artery passes though my 100 year old residential neighborhood, the lanes are tight, the speed limit is low, and it is always congested. All parties appeared slightly shook up, but otherwise OK.
Nothing beats a baseball jersey with a pair of rinestone heel slip ons.
We had a yard sale today with two other families. Mary Grace was my helper and she had to have these shoes... as well as the bridesmaid dress that they went with... who can pass up blue taffeta for a buck (hurl)??
Andrew loves the shoes.... and he's got such great legs for heels. (giggle)
Going up and around the first brushy section and big pouroff. Navigation along this side of the canyon wall was... let's say "tricky" in places. "Challenging" would do as well.
This is a scan of an original kodachrome slide. It was scanned with an Epson Pro V750, and finished up with very minor post processing work in Photoshop.

REMARKS:
Heading up a bit of Via Delli Servi in Siena. We almost went all the way to the top, then all of a sudden a procession of one of the Palio teams came up in their colours with a horse at the front!
Quite a site to see!
After this we turned back, and headed down to find the nearby park instead.
Flag - The Vale of the Ram District (Valdimontone)
Valdimontone is situated in the south-east of the city near Porta Romana. Traditionally, its residents were tailors.
Valdimontone's symbol is a crowned rampant ram, with a blue shield emblazoned with the letter "u" for Umberto. Its colours are red and yellow, with white trim.
It is allied with Onda (Wave) and opposed to Nicchio (Shell), its neighbour.
Valdimonte last won the Palio on 16 August 2012
Via delle Cantine is to the left.
We almost went up to Piazza Alessandro Manzoni but didn't in the end, so only got these views from the bottom of Via Dei Servi.
Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Servi
The Church of Santa Maria dei Servi is a Romanesque style, Roman Catholic church in the Terzo of San Martino in the city of Siena, Tuscany, Italy.
The church is built on the site of the former Church of San Clement, which was acquired by the Servite order in the Medieval era. The original Basilica was built in the 13th century, but later underwent reconstruction and transformation which continued until the 15th-16th century.
The façade is simple and unadorned, with a single doorway and a rose window (indications of another can be discerned on the wall). It is in the Romanesque period style
The adjoining Campanile is likewise of the 13th century, richly embellished by four orders of windows. It was entirely restored in the 20th century. The church building stands atop it is cook entrance stairs, with views over the Duomo and the Palazzo Publico of Siena.
To the black Camel, (1, Bogner alley 5, part, conscription number 312), house sign.
Here were originally two buildings: a house was already in the second quarter of the 15th century owned by bowyers and belonged in 1455 the bowyer Erhart Fütterer of Retz and 1458 the bowyer Stefan Leyser. The other house was also owned by bowyers. Its first documentary mention dates from the year 1456. In 1527 painter Hanns Gruntmann acquired both houses. His successor in ownership the two before 1539 had developed into one, which came in 1619 in the possession of the merchant Johann Baptist Cameel, who (coming from his native city of Brno to Vienna) established a spice factory here. He named his shop "The Black Camel" and later gave the house an identical sign. Since Cameel left large debts, the building together with his two other houses city 307 and 311 (both went up in the house Bogner alley 5) in 1640 was publicly auctioned and acquired by the tradesman Andre Getto, who also the house city 320 (Hallweilsches house; 3, part) possessed. After that, however, the three buildings had different owners again.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the store, which was expanded to a wine bar (wine and delicatessen), was frequented by the better society of Vienna and was known as a breakfast parlor. Beethoven was a frequent guest who bought wine, sugar and coffee from the then owner, Mrs. Stiebitz. The upper floor of the house was home to the poet and composer Friedrich August Kanne at the beginning of the 1820s. At that time, the building belonged to the k.k. Captain Franz Galle, who according to a commemorative publication (F.J. Stiebitz: commemorative on the occasion of the demolition of the old Kameelhaus in Bogner alley, 1901), is said to have become the first victim of the cholera raging in Vienna in 1830 and to have died within three hours.
Between 1828 and 1882 there are different details about this house: According to Czeike (Felix Czeike: Historical Dictionary of Vienna) house and wine bar 1828 were owned by Joseph Stiebitz († 1852), who the adjacent house "Zu den drei Tirolern (to the three Tyroleans)" (city 313 also Bogner alley 5) had to buy in order to use its first floor premise to expand his flourishing business. In 1882, his grandson (Franz) Josef Stiebitz was the owner.
Harrer (Paul Harrer: Vienna, its houses), however, indicates that the house was divided after Gaul's death on three heirs. The wine and delicatessen, however, belonged since May 1818 to Joseph Stiebitz and two co-owners and from 1823 Joseph Stiebitz alone. The interest payable for restaurants, wineries and dwellings amounted to 6,500 guilders in 1824, which was a very high amount for the time. In 1835 Stiebitz bought the neighboring house city 313 ("To the three Tyroleans" or "Zu den drei Schweizern/To the three Swiss men") in order to expand his business. Joseph Stiebitz also made a name for himself as the "father of the poor of the city". In addition to other foundations, he supported above all the still very young Handlungskrankeninstitut (hospital) "Confraternity", for whose chapel he donated a large part of the decoration. In 1830 he was appointed general director of the bourgeois merchant profession. He was also one of the first members of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde (Society of Friends of the Music in Vienna). All parts of the house city 312 (but without the ownership rights to the shop) came under a inheritance contract from 2 May 1842 together with the house city 307 in one hand. On October 31, 1848, the house was hit by two shotgun balls, which penetrated through an iron-studded balcony in the back of the wine bar and were found only years later in an adaptation. When the troops moved into the city, nobody was allowed to show themselves on the streets or behind the windows. However, a maid ignored this ban and looked out of the window of this house, whereupon she was killed by a shotgun in front of the eyes of nineteen-year-old Rosa Stiebitz, the wife of Alois Stiebitz (son of Joseph Stiebitz). Rosa and Alois Stiebitz introduced regular music evenings in the house, in which the most important artists of the time were often and welcome guests. Between 1842 and 1882 the two houses 307 and 312 were built into one, which was acquired in 1882 by Franz Josef Stiebitz, who already owned the house city 313.
In 1901, the house together with the neighboring buildings city 313 and 314 was replaced by a new building designed by Julius Mayreder, in which the wine and delicatessen "Zum schwarzen Kameel (to the black Camel)" was again housed. It was still owned by the Stiebitz family until 1951 and was sold to the Erste Österreichische Sparkasse (First Austrian Savings Bank) this year.
From the family of Johann Baptist Cameel sprang the learned missionary and botanist P. Georg Josef Cameel (Camelius), after whom Carl Linnaeus one of him in the Philippines discovered flower "camellia" named.

Dependence of the employee on the employer
The employees in the wine and delicatessen "To the black camel" had 1818 as employees accounts with their boss, on that their salary was booked on a monthly basis. As was customary a that time, no cash was issued. Only if one could motivate that one needed cash for a special occasion, money was paid out. The boss participated from time to time in the purchases. The thriftiness of the employees was promoted in such a way that some could become self-employed after 10 or 20 years with the saved money. Even the marriage license had to give the boss. The relationship of subservience of employees was emphasized by the fact that they were called "individuals" in their contracts, even if they were in a "high position".

Zum schwarzen Kameel, (1, Bognergasse 5, Teil; Konskriptionsnummer 312), Hausschild.
Hier standen ursprünglich zwei Gebäude: Ein Haus war schon ab dem zweiten Viertel des 15. Jahrhunderts im Besitz von Bognern und gehörte 1455 dem Bogner Erhart Fütterer von Retz und 1458 dem Bogner Stefan Leyser. Auch das andere Haus gehörte Bognern. Seine erste urkundliche Erwähnung stammt aus dem Jahr 1456. Im Jahr 1527 erwarb Maler Hanns Gruntmann beide Häuser. Sein Besitznachfolger ließ die beiden vor 1539 zu einem verbauen, das 1619 in den Besitz des Handelsmannes Johann Baptist Cameel kam, der (aus seiner Vaterstadt Brünn nach Wien gekommen) hier eine Gewürzkrämerei einrichtete. Sein Geschäft benannte er "Zum schwarzen Kameel" und gab später auch dem Haus ein gleichlautendes Schild. Da Cameel große Schulden hinterließ, wurde das Gebäude gemeinsam mit seinen beiden anderen Häusern Stadt 307 und 311 (beide gingen im Haus Bognergasse 5 auf) 1640 öffentlich versteigert und vom Handelsmann Andre Getto erworben, der auch das Haus Stadt 320 (Hallweilsches Haus; Am Hof 3, Teil) besaß. Danach hatten die drei Gebäude jedoch wieder unterschiedliche Besitzer.
Anfang 19. Jahrhundert wurde der zu einer Weinstube erweiterte Laden (Wein- und Delikatessenhandlung) von der besseren Gesellschaft Wiens gern aufgesucht und war vor allem als Frühstücksstube stadtbekannt. Beethoven war ein häufiger Gast, der bei der damaligen Besitzerin, Frau Stiebitz, Wein, Zucker und Kaffee kaufte. Im oberen Stockwerk des Hauses wohnte Anfang der 20er Jahre des 19. Jahrhunderts der Dichter und Komponist Friedrich August Kanne. Zu dieser Zeit gehörte das Gebäude dem k.k. Hauptmann Franz Galle, der laut einer Gedenkschrift (F. J. Stiebitz: Gedenkschrift anläßlich der Demolierung des alten Kameelhauses in der Bognergasse. 1901) das erste Opfer der 1830 in Wien grassierenden Cholera geworden und binnen drei Stunden gestorben sein soll.
Zwischen 1828 und 1882 gibt es unterschiedliche Angaben zu diesem Haus: Laut Czeike (Felix Czeike: Historisches Lexikon Wien) waren Haus und Weinstube 1828 im Besitz von Joseph Stiebitz († 1852), der das angrenzende Haus "Zu den drei Tirolern" (Stadt 313; heute ebenfalls Bognergasse 5) dazukaufen musste, um dessen Parterrelokal zur Erweiterung seines florierenden Geschäfts zu benützen. 1882 war sein Enkel (Franz) Josef Stiebitz Besitzer.
Harrer (Paul Harrer: Wien, seine Häuser) hingegen gibt an, dass das Haus nach Galles Tod auf drei Erben aufgeteilt wurde. Die Wein- und Delikatessenhandlung gehörte jedoch seit Mai 1818 Joseph Stiebitz und zwei Mitbesitzern und ab 1823 Joseph Stiebitz allein. Der zu zahlende Zins für Lokal, Kellereien und Wohnung betrug im Jahr 1824 6.500 Gulden, was für die damalige Zeit ein sehr hoher Betrag war. 1835 (nach der bereits erwähnten Gedenkschrift 1828) kaufte Stiebitz das Nachbarhaus Stadt 313 ("Zu den drei Tirolern" oder "Zu den drei Schweizern"), um sein Geschäft zu erweitern. Joseph Stiebitz machte sich auch einen Namen als "Armenvater der Stadt". Neben anderen Stiftungen unterstützte er vor allem das noch sehr junge Handlungskrankeninstitut "Confraternität", für dessen Kapelle er einen Großteil der Ausschmückung spendete. 1830 wurde er zum Generalvorstand des bürgerlichen Handelsstandes ernannt. Er gehörte außerdem zu den ersten Mitgliedern der Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde. Alle Teile des Hauses Stadt 312 (jedoch ohne die Besitzrechte am Geschäft) kamen laut einem Erbschaftsvertrag vom 2. Mai 1842 zusammen mit dem Haus Stadt 307 in eine Hand. Am 31. Oktober 1848 wurde das Haus von zwei Kartätschenkugeln getroffen, die durch einen mit Eisen beschlagenen Balkon in den hinteren Teil der Weinstube eindrangen und erst Jahre danach bei einer Adaptierung gefunden wurden. Als die Truppen in die Stadt einzogen, durfte sich niemand auf den Straßen oder hinter den Fenstern zeigen. Ein Dienstmädchen missachtete jedoch dieses Verbot und sah aus dem Fenster dieses Hauses, worauf es durch einen Flintenschuss vor den Augen der neunzehnjährigen Rosa Stiebitz, der Gattin von Alois Stiebitz (Sohn von Joseph Stiebitz), getötet wurde. Rosa und Alois Stiebitz führten im Haus regelmäßige Musikabende ein, bei denen die bedeutensten Künstler der damaligen Zeit oft und gern gesehene Gäste waren. Zwischen 1842 und 1882 wurden die beiden Häuser 307 und 312 zu einem verbaut, das 1882 von Franz Josef Stiebitz erworben wurde, der bereits das Haus Stadt 313 besaß.
1901 wurde das Haus samt den Nachbarhäusern Stadt 313 und 314 durch einen Neubau nach Plänen von Julius Mayreder ersetzt, in dem wieder die Wein- und Delikatessenhandlung "Zum schwarzen Kameel" untergebracht wurde. Es stand noch bis 1951 im Besitz der Familie Stiebitz und wurde in diesem Jahr an die Erste österreichische Sparkasse verkauft.
Aus der Familie des Johann Baptist Cameel entsproß der gelehrte Missionar und Botaniker P. Georg Josef Cameel (Camelius), nach dem Linné eine von ihm auf den Philippinen entdeckte Blume "Kamelie" benannte.

Abhängigkeit der Arbeitnehmer vom Arbeitgeber
Die Arbeitnehmer in der Wein- und Delikatessenhandlung "Zum schwarzen Kameel" hatten 1818 als Angestellte Konten bei ihrem Chef, auf die ihr Gehalt monatlich gut gebucht wurde. Nach damaligem Brauch wurde kein Bargeld ausgestellt. Nur wenn man motivieren konnte, dass man aus einem besonderen Anlass Bargeld brauchte, wurde ausbezahlt. Der Chef beteiligte sich ab und zu bei den Ankäufen. Der Sparsinn der Angestellten wurde derart gefördert, dass sich manche nach 10 oder 20 Jahren mit dem gesparten Geld selbständig machen konnten. Selbst die Eheerlaubnis hatte den Chef zu erteilen. Das Untertänigheitsverhältnis der Angestellten wurde dadurch betont, dass sie in ihren Kontrakten "Individuen" genannt wurden, auch wenn sie sich in "gehobener Stellung" befunden.
