It's adorable, and I like that it doesn't look perfect, adds charm. I love burlap and it's natural texture. Did you use tree burlap roll? Need to be on the look out for it! I've got to say I've never knotted like that. So very rustically pretty! My fingers are crossed you'll share with Sunday's Best tonight - too darn pretty not too!

University of Pennsylvania Students Demand Action to End Gun Violence On Six-Year Anniversary of Virginia Tech Massacre, Deadliest Mass Shooting in U.S. History
Apr 16, 2013, 08:30 ET from Mayors Against Illegal Guns
Center for American Progress and Mayors Against Illegal Guns to Release New Study of Student Opinions on Gun Violence Prevention
Students Support Bipartisan Legislation Ahead of Important Upcoming Senate Vote To Expand Background Checks and Close the Loopholes that Allow Criminals to Get Guns; www.DemandAction.org
PHILADELPHIA, April 16, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia students will participate in a petition drive organized in conjunction with Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Campus Progress Action on the six-year anniversary of the Virginia Tech Massacre, the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history in which 32 were killed and 30 more were injured. The petition drive is part of a number of events taking place at college campuses throughout the country today to support commonsense gun law reforms that will save lives and protect communities.
On Tuesday, the Center for American Progress and Mayors Against Illegal Guns will also release a new survey of student opinions on the issue of gun violence prevention.
These events are taking place just days ahead of an important U.S. Senate vote on bipartisan legislation by Senator Joe Manchin and Senator Pat Toomey that would close the loopholes that allow criminals to get guns by requiring background checks for commercial gun sales – including at gun shows, online and via classified ads.

Product of the Week- The Ecowind varying pitch propeller
by Kevin Woody on 12 Oct 2010
Max-prop Ecowind propeller .. .
A propeller that will adapt to changing situations by automatically varying its pitch under differing load conditions. It sounds like a good deal, particularly for long range cruising sailors, and that's just what the manufacturer claims.
The result is claimed to be higher top speeds in both calm and rough conditions, significantly lower fuel consumption, extended range under power, better acceleration and much less engine noise at cruising speed due to the lower RPMs.
If PYI's latest addition to their Max-Prop automatic feathering propeller line, the Ecowind, is anything like promised, it will be a real game-changer.
How does it work?
The Max-Prop ECOWIND propeller by PYI features a cutting-edge patented spring-based technology that adjusts propeller pitch automatically to its optimum position based on load. When the boat accelerates, the pitch flattens to allow the engine RPMs and boat speed to increase rapidly.
As a vessel's speed progresses, the load on the propeller decreases and the pitch increases. Compared to fixed pitch propellers, the ECOWIND offers greater speed with the same RPMs as well as the same boat speed at a lower RPM.
'The Max-Prop ECOWIND represents a huge leap forward in propeller design and technology,' said Fred Hutchison, PYI Inc. 'Delivering enhanced performance with improved speed under power as well as significant fuel savings, the ECOWIND propeller demonstrates PYI's continued commitment to providing innovative technology solutions to boating enthusiasts.'
The ECOWIND propeller features Max-Prop's renowned automatic feathering design. While underway, each individual propeller blade slices through the water allowing it to feather past, rather than being dragged.
Also known for its reverse efficiency, going from forward to reverse, the propeller rotates the shaft of the blade to provide the same productivity in either direction.
Max-Prop ECOWIND propellers range in size from 14- to 22-inches, are purpose built for the harsh sea environment and protected by a 3-year warranty.
Pricing and Availability:
Max-Prop ECOWIND propellers are available for purchase from authorized PYI dealers and distributors worldwide and have a suggested retail price range of US $4,800 to $5,600.
For more information on Max-Prop ECOWIND propellers, PYI and its entire line of marine equipment and supplies, please visit www.pyiinc.com.
About PYI Inc.:
PYI Inc. is one of the premier manufacturers and distributors of high quality marine, boat, yacht, and shipping equipment and supplies. Founded in 1981, PYI takes great pride in quickly responding to customer's ideas and needs. PYI's goal is to provide quality, innovative marine equipment with an unsurpassed level of customer service and satisfaction. www.pyiinc.com.

UK Sailmakers gives Yassine a new mast for 150nm Laser sail record
Yassine Darkaoui wants to sail a 150nm course from Phuket - and has a new mast, thanks to UK Sailmakers
In December we ran a story about how a young Moroccan sailor was in Thailand training to sail a 150nm course in a tiny Laser to break the world record. His problem was, his mast was broken and he couldn't afford a new one. Now, thanks to our Asia Editor Guy Nowell and UK Sailmakers Hong Kong representative, Barry Hayes, who read the story, things are looking up for Yassine Darkaoui.

Southernmost sailing voyages - who really has the record?
Andrew Troup corrects the records on the most southerly voyages by sailing boats.
Recently a Ukrainian/Russian sailing boat, the 98ft steel-hulled Scorpius reached 77 degrees south and claimed a world record. This was greeted by a storm of protest from our readers, one of whom pointed out that in 1965 a tiny Moth was sailed
(but not
) 77.5 degrees. There were other claims too. Andrew Troup here corrects the records...
Posted on 14 Apr 2012
And the most southerly-sailing boat ever is...
Last week we said Ukrainian yacht Scorpius set a new world record in sailing furthest south - 77deg but we were wrong!
Last week in Sail-World we told how Ukrainian-Russian crew aboard 30m sailing yacht Scorpius had claimed a new world record in sailing farther south into Antarctica than any other boat had gone, reaching 77 degrees. But we were wrong - well, in a way; because in 1965, Lt. Commander Steve Cockley, based in Mc Murdo Sound, had sailed a Moth, an 11ft (3.4m) dinghy, at 77.5 degrees S.

Incentives In HMOs
We studied the effect of physician incentives in an HMO network. Physician incentives are controversial because they may induce doctors to make treatment decisions that differ from those they would choose in the absence of incentives. We set out a theoretical framework for assessing the degree to which incentive contracts do, in fact, induce physicians to deviate from a standard, guided only by patient interest and professional medical judgment. Our empirical evaluation of the model relies on details of the HMO's incentive contracts and access to the firms' internal expenditure records. We estimate that the HMO's incentive contract provides a typical physician an increase, at the margin, of $.10 in income for each $1.00 reduction in medial utilization expenditures. The average response is a 5-percent reduction in medical expenditures. We also find suggestive evidence that financial incentives linked to commonly used "quality" measures may stimulate an improvement in measured quality.

Market Recap: The market took quite a hit on Tuesday as issues over Greece took root, and the market started to fall apart. Things are starting to look quite similar to last year, and the issues of Europe are definitely still looking quite strong to cause us issues without a catalyst. It was a light news day, and the market latched onto the news about Greece elections that went poorly, creating more fear over Europe. That fear rose the dollar, which killed the dollar and caused commodities and equities to fall.
The market will be reacting to news tomorrow from wholesale inventories and crude inventories, but it looks like mostly we are in for a negative market movement moving forward. Right now, the market is in a weak spot, and it is looking for a breakdown further.
Two Trades
A pair trade that we like is going long on Hershey's (NYSE:HSY) and shorting Russell 2000 iShares (NYSEARCA:IWM). HSY has been amazingly strong during this market correction over last week, and it is showing a lot of strength. We believe the stock will continue to outperform the Russell 2000, and we like shorting IWM right now as the market is starting to signal a bit of a breakdown. HSY is holding a nice upward trend since its earnings report, and we believe that it will continue higher as it has held green even during down days. IWM, on the other hand, is signaling a pretty significant breakdown. We like being short the small-caps as they could get hit hard on a weak market condition.
Tomorrow's Outlook
The market's outlook for tomorrow is by no means looking great. We did see the market comeback somewhat intraday, but overall, it was quite weak. The market seems to be rolling over and a lot of market makers are really starting to push more bearish. No big data is out here once again, so we will continue to mostly react to European developments as well as Asian data. Tomorrow, we will be getting the Japanese leading index as well as German Trade Balance. Mostly, though, the movement in the euro and continued understanding of what Greece's elections mean for us is what is going to move the market.
Our Moves
We had a rough day today as we took some losses on a Nike (NYSE:NKE) bull call spread, gold (NYSEARCA:GLD) bull put spread, and Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:WYNN) earnings position. We added the above pair as well as we entered a bear call spread on Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL).
We have the following positions. In our Short-Term Equity Portfolio we are long Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE:DKS) and HSY, short Johnson Controls (NYSE:JCI) and IWM. In our Options Portfolio, we are long Panera Bread (NASDAQ:PNRA), Polaris Industries (NYSE:PII), Monster (NASDAQ:MNST), Dollar General (NYSE:DG). We are short BP and AAPL. We have a reverse iron condor on Ultra Proshares Financial (NYSEARCA:FAS). In our Earnings Alpha portfolio, we are long Wynn, Western Digital (NYSE:WDC), Teva (NYSE:TEVA). We are short Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). We have a reverse iron condor in Las Vegas Sands (NYSE:LVS).

Ooh, frontpage! Thanks for bailing me out, Tom!
So the score went from 3.82 to 3.59 to 3.89... Wow.
Too bad booms and busts don't work backwards in real life.
Okay, so it's 8 hours late. But if it took them a year to realize we were in a recession then by godDAMN, I'm the freakin' Flash when it comes to Flash!
Crappy puns aside, this here is a series of skits revolving around the world's top three favourite doomed car companies: GM, Ford, and Chrysler. Join them as they venture on a quest for bailouts, ???, and PROFIT!!!
Yes, the economy's gone down the toilet and Joe the Plumber can't fix either, but you don't need to be greatly depressed over the impending Greater Depression! Instead, have a laugh and enjoy this movie!
~Spent more than 35 hours on end without sleep! (True! 35 hours and counting, as I'm writing this.)
~Ensured that Starbucks will never go bankrupt now! (Turns out caffiene is worse than dope!)
~Begged the viewers to recommend this for the Politics collection! (Please?)
Tossing money at these 3 companies is like tossing money on a bon-fire. They've had their chance to restructure during the SUV days, but they chose to rest on their laurels. Chevy even had an electric car in CA during the 90's, but trashed the idea as "not worth while". So, now they're hoping to some how stave off bankruptcy, and magically restructure the auto worker's union, the suppliers of crappy/expensive parts AND their whole business model at the same time. Good luck with that. It would take a lot of time and effort to switch them over to a more Edwards Demming style of quality work, but they don't have that kind of time. This was such a waste of tax-payer money.
But, THIS was such a great flash! Way to go! The bank robbery scene was awesome! And the "free cat girl with each purchase" ... GENIUS! Great job!
Hm... I wonder why the demand for our new gas-guzzling <insert any line of cars they make here> is substantially low this quarter...
And, thank you for that wonderful review!
Twas great
It gave me a adequate conscience about politics. And yes, I recommended it for the Politics collection.
Very clever!
You get a 9/10 for the flash itself and a bonus point for the amount of wit it took to come up with these jokes. Your intelligence and satire really showed through here, and I commend you for it! :)

NewsFactor Network: "Are Nadella's Historic Layoffs Best for Microsoft?"
. . . Jonathan Hill, an associate dean of Pace University's Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems in New York, said though many technology "power users" have lost top of mind awareness for Microsoft, the company's products including Skype, Xbox and, of course, Office are in consumers' hands every day.
"Perhaps more critically, Microsoft's backend cloud computing and coding tools including SQL Server, Visual Studio and Windows Azure run many of the apps that consumers and businesses depend on," he said. "Nadella's changes are part of an ambitious and long overdue revamp of what is clearly a healthy company with a strong foundation of core products and growing revenues."

Minuscule 138
New Testament manuscript |
Name | Codex Vaticanus 757 |
Text | Gospels† |
Date | 11th century |
Script | Greek |
Now at | Vatican Library |
Size | 30 cm by 22.5 cm |
Type | Byzantine text-type |
Category | V |
Hand | slovenly hand |
Minuscule 138 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), A304 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment leaves. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 11th century.[2] The manuscript is lacunose.
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 380 parchment leaves (size 30 cm by 22.5 cm),[2] with a commentary, and minor lacunae.[3] The text is written in one column per page, 37 lines per page.[2]
The commentary on Mark is of Victor,[4] mixed up with the text, both in slovenly hand.[3]
It contains synaxaria, Menologion, and pictures. The tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) were added by a later hand before each Gospel. At the end of each Gospel were added subscriptions with numbers of verses.[4] Mark 16:9-20 was marked by an obelus as doubtful.
The text of Matthew 1:1-4:11 was supplied by a later hand.[4]
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family Kx in Luke 1. In Luke 10 and Luke 20 no profile was made.[6]
The manuscript was examined by Birch (about 1782), Scholz, and Burgon. C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886.[4]
It is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Vat. gr. 757), at Rome.[2]

US Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in New Delhi on Sunday to participate in the fourth round of Indo-US strategic dialogue, even as the US announced to invest $100 million in India's burgeoning clean energy sector.
Kerry, 69, accompanied by a high-level delegation arrived here on a three-day visit, the first one after assuming the charge of the state department earlier this year.
He will co-chair the India-US strategic dialogue with external affairs minister Salman Khurshid, during which key issues like bilateral trade, defence and security cooperation besides energy and higher education would be discussed.
Ahead of his visit Kerry described India as a strategic partner in South Asia, with whom the US has one of the defining partnership of the 21st century.
As Kerry arrived in India, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) said that it will partner with US-based institutional investor Northern Lights Capital Group to facilitate the investment via Nereus Capital.
This investment, through the Agency's Development Credit Authority, is expected to create hundreds of additional megawatts of sustainable energy capacity and will help to advance India's clean energy industry.
"USAID will be able to dramatically leverage large scale funding to help India's transition to a low carbon economy, and open-up new development opportunities for enhanced energy access," USAID Administrator Raj Shah, who is accompanying Kerry, said.
The US energy secretary, the NASA Director, the US military chief for the Pacific region Admiral Samuel Locklear and top officials from the State Department and Homeland Security are part of the delegation.
During the talks, India will seek from the US information on the opening of a Taliban office in Qatar, besides putting across its concerns about the H1B and L category visas that has raised concerns among the Indian industry, especially the IT sector.
The issue of market access, nuclear liability bill, and American National Security Agency's Internet snooping programme are also likely to be discussed.
Kerry will co-chair the India-US Higher Education dialogue. Kerry will also meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during his stay in New Delhi.

Lansner: O.C. housing piston is firing
At the least, our real estate piston appears to be firing.
Orange County's overall housing market had the strongest key selling season in six years – with DataQuick's August homebuying report coming as the Federal Reserve took new measures to boost the national economy.
Fed boss Ben Bernanke, speaking with reporters after announcing new stimulus from the central bank that includes new purchases of mortgage-backed bonds, said a weak-but-improving housing market was one of the noteworthy drags on U.S. business machine. Housing, Bernanke noted, traditionally has taken a leadership pull in economic recoveries.
"Missing piston," is how Bernanke described housing M.I.A. status in this business-cycle rebound.
Numerous questions have floated around about housing's resiliency – both here and around the nation -- since the end of various homebuying tax incentives ended in 2010. The increased buying speed and firmer pricing of mid-2010 quickly evaporated without that governmental boost.
In Orange County, at least, 2012's shopping season came with two fresh ingredients in the mix – record cheap mortgages and a surprising local job market, with hiring running at or near six-year highs. House shoppers reacted favorably to these trends.
My analysis of DataQuick's monthly homebuying data shows that from March through August – prime house-hunting season – there were 20,734 Orange County residences sold. That is 16 percent higher than the same period in '11 – and the best pace since 2006.
In addition, the median price rose 14 percent in these six months. That is more that double the average 6.2 percent gain seen in this half-year period since 1988 – and the second largest gain in this period over 25 years.
So why did I choose this timeframe? Well, every real estate agent knows this is "season." The typical spring and early summer house-shopping rush is motivated, in a large part, by families looking to get new homes before the next school year begins.
Numerically speaking, this half-year period that since 1998 is when 60 percent of the homebuying is done in Orange County. It's a surge that pushes up the median price – with gains in this key six months averaging 6.2 percent since 1988 vs. 4 percent for all 12-month periods.
Some of that may be due to families buying larger homes in this period vs. the rest of the year. And, yes, it's fair to surmise that pricing does weaken – and/or shoppers' budgets shrink -- after Labor Day.
Also, let's note that the current homebuying pace – March to August – was 28 percent slower than the average pace seen from 1988 through 2006.
So, please, I'm not saying all is cured. Look, DataQuick tells us 350 Orange County more owners lost property to foreclosure in August – half the count of a year ago but still part of a sad tally of 40,455 in five years.
Plus, somebody has to fully explain why with such seemingly ideal selling conditions; the supply of Orange County homes for sale – by ReportsOnHousing's count – is at a low last seen in 2005.
Fed boss Bernanke warned Thursday that the overall economy is shaky – and that cheap loan rates, especially mortgage – could be a cure. August's Orange County home buyers – by DataQuick estimates – had an average house payment of $1,944. Thanks to low-rate mortgages – and deeply discounted housing values – that's a stunning 46 percent off 2006's pinnacle.
Bernanke noted that further housing improvement is needed to both boost consumer confidence and reignite that broad economic machine that's otherwise known as homebuilding.
In Orange County, local builders are the weak spot. They sold just 1,016 homes from March to August – not only 22 percent below the previous year but the second-slowest "prime selling season" since 1988. The local new-home sales pace of the past five years is a stunning 70 percent slower that what we saw in the previous 20 years.
So as Orange County housing leaves its prime time, a huge question remains: Can extended cheap mortgages keep Orange County's overall market firing on all cylinders – and jump-start homebuilding, too?

I can't believe the first week of the year is over! Here's some pictures of what I've been doing:
1. New Years Eve
This has been a lovely relaxing week of recovery for me after having my jaw operation last Friday, surprisingly I had far less swelling in my face this time so I was able to glam up a bit more than I anticipated for NYE, although I wasn't up to doing very much of course.2. Get Well Soon Flowers
pretty roses from my fiance and his friends
3. Healthy Winter Food!
It's a pain that I want yummy comforting food at this time of the year when because of my surgery, I can't chew anything so here's my compromise: roasted butternut squash with melted cheese and greek yogurt with homemade blueberry puree & honey. I want to eat healthily to try and aid my recovery so you can probably expect some of my infamous smoothie recipes coming up!
How was week 1 for you?

KGB strikes again!
Nobody seems to notice what is going on in other parts of the world. Read the following news:
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=467319 Post-communist Russia is led by an ex-KGB boss, Vladimir Putin. He don't want to lose his influence in Caucasus. See also the Chechen genocide! CIA is a kindergarten compared to this evil soviet secret police called KGB. After the "fall" of communism they've changed their name but nobody could expose it. The West seems totally ignorant of this terrible power. The Russian mafia is directly connected with KGB. They are involved in almost all evil happening in the world today: drugs traffic, prostitution, money laundry and what not. |

Re: KGB strikes again!
Thanks, Draken, for being with me again! However, this is not a question of "who is with whom", but of what is really going on in the world today. Everybody seems to be focused on USA and CIA only! The yesterday adversary seems to be completely forgotten! It's not healthy...
Re:CIA strikes again!
Hey vlad CIA are kindegarten are they!
And what exactly is free trade doing for eastern europe and Russia at the present time except for creating hordes of Neo nazi street thugs! http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,1299318,00.html] http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/szamuely/irony.htm http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/jared/jihad.htm http://emperors-clothes.com/analysis/afghan.htm http://emperors-clothes.com/news/bushladen.htm |
Re:CIA strikes again!
The history of the KGB is well-known. If the current FSB should be known as the former KGB, one should know that it is not really formerly known. The name change is nothing new in the history of the entire Russian(Soviet) intelligence service.
In 1917, on the order of Lenn to establish an intelligence/secret police group, the Cheka was formed and Lenin chose Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky, a Polish Jew, to head it. Over the years, it went through numerous name-changes: Cheka 1917 GPU 1922 OGPU 1923 GUGB 1934 NKVD 1941 (February) GUGB 1941 (July) NKVD 1943 MGB 1946 MVD 1953 KGB 1954 MB (Ministry of Security) 1991 FSK (Federal Counterintelligence Service) 1994 FSB (Federal Security Service) 1995 In 1991, the KGB was "formally" dissolved well before the dissolution of the Soviet Union. When Yeltsin assumed power, he did not completely dissolve the KGB, rather he retained the intelligence, counterintelligence and internal border security functions of the KGB as useful services for the newly formed Russian government under Yeltsin's controls, then Putin's, respectively. Below is the link revealed how former KGB officials are still in the positions of FSB: http://www.future-of-russia.org/issues/fsb_boys.cfm Is KGB dead? Yes and no. In name, at least officially in the eyes of the world, the KGB is dead. Yet its functions and practices are still being used to this day, the name-change is all cosmetic dressing. |

On cameras in the courtroom
This commentary
in the Washington Times notes that "[t]he trial of sniper suspect John Allen Muhammad has reignited the debate in Virginia courts over whether cameras in courtrooms inform the public or distract from the business of administering justice."

Robin: Holy cow!
Batgirl: You just had to say that.
An expression used by a character in numerous episodes of a show. Merely uttering this phrase in the office will key others into the character you're referring to. For a line to be a catchphrase, it should stay somewhat close to the same, and not just catchy.
To be a catchphrase, the phrase should be repeated multiple times — just because something is the most memorable line of a movie does not always make it a catchphrase unless the phrase is said more than once by an in-universe character. When it's the audience that adopt a character's line as a catchphrase, we get Memetic Mutation.
If the character has a Badass Creed, that will probably double as a catch phrase.
Beam Me Up, Scotty! is a false or oft-misquoted catchphrase.

Concerns about fertility and children have been (and still are) common reasons for visiting, and more generally engaging with, the sacred spaces—sanctuaries and shrines, groves and grottoes—of many religions and cultures. The narratives, objects, and rituals associated with places of particular access to the divine across a wide chronological and geographical range testify to this insistent human need: stories of miraculous births, assorted reproductive ex-votos, and prayers for the sterile are, for instance, all prominent parts of this landscape. But, thus far, this phenomenon has not received the focused attention it deserves.
Relations between human reproduction, divinity and sacred space are therefore at the centre of this interdisciplinary conference. We hope to have thematic panels which cover the following issues:
- Gender and Reproduction: are requests for divine assistance made by women or men, or both? To female deities and saints or not?
- Fertility and Healing: do healing sanctuaries and saints specialise in fertility? Or is reproduction joined with other concerns?
- Reproductive objects: do concerns about fertility have particular affinities with particular kinds of artefacts or materials?
- Narrative reproduction: is there anything distinctive about stories of miraculous births in miracle collections?
There will also be sessions that address questions of continuity and change, similarity and difference, across time and space; and we warmly invite proposals for papers on all these topics and more, from as wide a range of perspectives as possible.
This conference is organised under the auspices of the Wellcome Trust strategic award in the history of medicine on Generation to Reproduction (University of Cambridge); and with the support of the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) and the Faculty of Classics, University of Cambridge.

The grand, old Melbourne General Post Office has been abandoned to fashionable shops, cafes and al fesco mingling. Some people (like me) still trudge the stairs looking for a book of stamps to post a letter drafted in ink on paper.
"Sorry mate, cappuccino?"
Thanks Kate, at 3:45pm, the sun slants in through the columns and creates a long (much longer than you see here) colonnade of banded light. Pick the time of day and it's a feast.
Thank you Angela, yes she was tall and slender like the columns, had that touch of style, and walked in just right place. I could have stayed there all day but I was in a rush. Took 6 photos in about 1 minute and was gone.
You catch people's thoughts, don't You….
I love sending "real letters myself"….
beautiful place, but I understand…… same in Paris….. would city be loosing their soul?
Oui, l'âme de la ville est vendue pour commece. Quelqu'un m'a dit que Musee Jue de Paume ne tient pas les peintres impressionnist maintenant! Il a cassé mon coeur pour l'entendre.
and sorry, I'm very bad at making clever comments about composition and light and all that ;-) but I guess it's all perfect ;-)
Je veux seulement le commentaire du coeur, Magali. Ne vous inquiétez pas au sujet des choses techniques. Que vous voyez est tout ce qui est important.
Brisbane's post office has a coffee shop now….but you can still buy stamps…love those shadows.
Thank you Mel. So Bribane has not gone over to the Dark Side (YET). Loved your Waterworks Exhibition, really great idea.
Oh, Musée de l'Orangerie has impressionists painters, they made a special room for TH NYmphea, Jeu de Paume is now a museum dedicated to photography…. their exhibitions are always brilliant!!!!!!!…http://www.jeudepaume.org/index.php?langue=english&PHPSESSID=f67e399ce40fe5c60856fc2019d6f923 (hope it works), so.. don't break you heart, just open it on a new window!!!!!
Jeter ouverte toutes les fenêtres! Photographie, vraiment. Mon coeur est réparé; c'est nouveau de nouveau :—-))) les Meilleures nouvelles, je ne peux pas croire la coïncidence. Merci Magali
A sad sign of the times. People don't take the time for meaningful communication. Lovely bw work. :-)
I have hand written (blue ink and fountain pen even) letters recently and it is very satisfying. It is slow communication that is so good. Thank you Cathy.
Buying stamps here is an adventure, no matter if there's one or fifty people in line in front of one. Time seems to stand still and life is executed in slo-mo. The counter clerk is always disapearing out of sight for long stretches. The wait is always worthwhile when one finally gets to the pen and ink and off the computer. This person doesn't look particularly rushed and may be an accomplished letter writer LOL.
This place looks majestic.
Hi BC, thanks for your visit, I've just been checking out your writing. Isn't letter writing the best, if only we had more time. I can see you like a bit of description, thank you for adding it to my page, I really appreciate lengthy discussion and thoughts being left by visitors.
The Melbourne GPO is very majestic – built during out Gold Rush era. Have a look at these for views in the colonnade by Ell-on-Wheels:
thanks, Rhoufi
Aren't those columns just something else??? :o)
Adore the shadows they cast on a bright sunny day, just as in your image! Hehee, love the title!! :D
Reckon I could fill a memory card with images from here, this place is so photogenic! Just love it!! :D
Oooh! Thank you so much for linking to a couple of my GPO images! … blush!
ps. enjoyed your 'conversation' with BC, Rhoufi :o) … would also handwrite more if my right hand would allow it still … had very good scriptive hand-writing (flair) once upon a time, not anymore though :(
Yes it is great, but I only really dashed up the stairs when passing because you had revealed it to us all on RB. So thank you for sharing, Oh Wheeled One. ;—)))
Thanks Laurie, our old General Post Office has become a bit of street photographer' mecca these days – just wish it sold stamps ;-))

To cope, Osbourne was spotted getting at the new Bliss Spa in the W Hollywood hotel.

I know what it does, but I have no idea why it's named "goatse" (the eskimo thing is trivial, but this one doesn't seem to be). I heard it had been named after another operator... but in that case, which operator is that, and how come the name? In reply to Re^3: "Secret" operators

Synopsis Edit
The TARDIS arrives on an extinct volcanic island. Before long, the travellers are captured and taken into the depths of the Earth, where they find a hidden civilisation — the lost city of Atlantis.
The Atlanteans worship a goddess named Amdo and use fish people — men and women operated upon so that they can breathe under the sea — to farm the plankton-based food on which they survive. A deranged scientist, Professor Zaroff, has convinced them that he can raise their city from the sea, but actually he plans to drain the ocean into the Earth's molten core, so that the resultant superheated steam will cause the planet to explode.
The travellers meet up with two shipwreck survivors, Sean and Jacko, who persuade the fish people to rebel and stop work. The Doctor eventually foils Zaroff's plan, but only by breaking down the sea walls and flooding the city. Zaroff drowns, but everyone else escapes.
Plot Edit
Episode 1 Edit
Jamie is blown away by the interior and the workings of the TARDIS. The Doctor quotes Robert Burns to him — which confuses him further due to the fact that Burns wouldn't be born until ten years after Jamie was taken. The TARDIS materialises on a volcanic island.
The crew explore their surroundings; Ben, Polly and Jamie climb up a shallow hill for a better vantage whilst the Doctor begins to investigate the rocks to give him a clue as to their whereabouts.
As the three companions, climb Polly thinks she sees something in the distance, but Ben and Jamie say she must be imagining it. Polly decides to wait for the boys as she is running out of breath. They leave her on a ledge to return for her when they reach the top. She begins to explore and finds a bracelet that she examines very closely before beginning to explore in a nearby cave. Here she is confronted by robed figures. She screams, which alerts Jamie and Ben. They return back to the cave and begin to explore. They are ambushed by the robed figures who capture them and put them in a small room where Polly is tied up. They discuss what to do until the door opens again and the Doctor is thrown in with them. Once all four are together, the room begins to descend like an elevator. The companions suffer difficulty in breathing, nausea and a strange taste in their mouths before they fall unconscious.
They awake later in a compression chamber. The Doctor wonders when they are. Polly takes a stab at the 1970s. When challenged she reveals the bracelet which is a souvenir from the 1968 Olympics in Mexico, alluding to the fact that it must be some point after that. A guard armed with a spear enters. Polly and Jamie try to communicate with him but to no avail. He gesticulates with his spear, indicating that they should go down a corridor.
They are taken to a dining hall and given a dinner of plankton. The armed guard is hostile towards a serving girl called Ara, for whom the Doctor sticks up. Lolem, a priest, arrives and says that their goddess Amdo prophesied visitors falling from the sky before one of their festivals. He orders his guards to seize the four travellers in preparation for their sacrifice. As they are dragged away, the Doctor says he has something important he needs to say. Lolem humours him and says he has five minutes whilst his friends are dragged away. The Doctor says that Professor Zaroff, who he has deduced to be there, would be very disappointed if he heard that Lolem had killed him. When questioned as to how he knew Zaroff was there, the Doctor states that only he could produce such delicious food from plankton. Lolem says that this changes nothing and that the Doctor will still die. The Doctor asks for him to send a note to Zaroff. Lolem forbids this, but the Doctor smuggles the note to Ara and asks her to deliver it.
The companions have been led into a temple surrounded by a moat of shark-infested water. Ben, Polly and Jamie are tied up and placed on ramps that tilt into the water. The Doctor is led into the temple, tied up and placed on the fourth ramp. The ramps slowly begin to lift. The four victims try to cling on as best they can.
Ara goes to Zaroff's quarters and is forbidden entry. She then asks to see someone called Damon. Damon is given the note which reads, "Vital secret will die with me. Dr. W." Damon immediately gives the note to Zaroff, who rushes out and stops the ceremony and orders the Doctor to be released. Initially his companions are to be consigned to their fate, but the Doctor tells Zaroff that he will not tell his secret whilst his friends are in danger. They are sent to the labour controller. Zaroff and the Doctor speak privately. It is revealed that Zaroff faked his own death, allowing the world to think he was assassinated or kidnapped in a plot between East and West Germany. The Doctor flatters him so much that when he admits that he has no secret, Zaroff praises him for his sense of humour and allows him to live.
Damon is in charge of the labour and sends Jamie and Ben to the mines. When left alone with Polly, he slightly intimidates her before showing her Zaroff's plans. Outside are farmers who have been given plastic gills in order to farm food under the water. Polly marvels at this but blanches when she discovers that this is the fate that Damon has in mind for Polly.
The Doctor and Zaroff talk and the Doctor deduces that they are in the lost city of Atlantis. Zaroff reveals that, in return for raising Atlantis, he was allowed to practice his experiments in the city. Ara comes and informs the Doctor of Damon's plans for Polly. The Doctor tells Ara to go back to Polly, watch over her and, if she has a chance, to get her away from Damon.
However, it seems too late as Polly is on the cusp of being anaesthetised by Damon.
Episode 2 Edit
Whilst being shown round a laboratory, the Doctor fiddles with the lighting, which affects the operating room. This stalls the procedure. Damon storms up to the laboratory, demanding to know why Zaroff is draining so much power. Zaroff shows Damon he has a separate generator. Whilst the two argue, the Doctor fuses the generator, plunging the operating room into darkness. The two doctors leave Polly to see what is going on. Ara sneaks in and frees Polly — taking her to the caves.
Damon is furious with the Doctor, and even Zaroff agrees it is best if the Doctor stays with him. Zaroff explains his plan to the Doctor. He plans to core into the centre of the Earth and drain the water away so as to render Atlantis accessible by land. The Doctor realises it will blow the planet apart and Zaroff concedes that this is an issue, before stating that will be his final testament.
Down in the mines, Ben and Jamie meet Sean and Jacko. They are immediately ingratiated into their gang when Jamie helps them hide a compass from the dictatorial foreman. They explain that they are going to use a compass for a break out plan.
The Doctor discovers that Polly has been freed and escapes from Zaroff's lab by creating a chemical reaction that causes a stultifying effect on those that breathe in the fumes.
Sean and Jacko explain that they have found an underground shaft which they will use to escape. Ben and Jamie will join them. An alarm sounds in the mine, which means the group is going to separate. The four decide to slip away in this process.
The Doctor has sneaked into the cave system. He encounters Ara, who tells him Polly is safe. While they talk they overhear a priest called Ramo talking to Damon. The Doctor discovers that Ramo also mistrusts Zaroff. The Doctor asks Ara to distract Damon so he can talk to Ramo privately. Ara approaches Damon and tells him that she saw Polly in the marketplace. Damon falls for it, and the Doctor approaches Ramo. He goes to call out, but the Doctor convinces him that he has important information regarding Zaroff. They go somewhere private to discuss.
The party of escapees decide to split up to find the best way through the mines.
At the temple, the Doctor shows Ramo what Zaroff intends to do using a jug and a fire as props. Ramo is convinced and says he will summon him to an audience with the supreme leader Thous but warns the Doctor that Thous is a strong advocate of Zaroff's.
Jacko joins up with Sean and Ben to say that Jamie has slipped down a cliff edge. Sean goes on to see if there is a better means of escape while Sean and Ben go back to help Jamie.
Back at the temple Ramo gives the Doctor some ceremonial robes in order to get him close to Thous. As soon as they leave, Polly leaves from her hiding place. As she does, a secret door in the temple opens and Ben, Jamie, Sean and Jacko emerge.
Once alone, the Doctor and Ramo explain Zaroff's plan to Thous. He asks to be left alone to consider his options.
Ara returns to feed the refugees but is interrupted by people entering the temple. Everyone except Ara hides in the secret compartment.
The Doctor and Ramo are summoned to the temple. Thous said he has considered both their opinions. Just then, Zaroff and his guards enter. Thous tells Zaroff to do with them what he will.
Episode 3 Edit
The Doctor tries to protect Ramo by telling them that he was led astray by the Doctor, but Ramo stands up for himself and states he has always hated and mistrusted Zaroff. The Doctor and Ramo are led away to be fed to the sharks. When left alone with Thous, Zaroff promises him that the Doctor's stories were untrue.
The Doctor and Ramo are brought by Lolem, the high priest, and the priests to the idol of Amdo, about to be beheaded as a sacrifice and fed to the sharks when a voice issues from the statue of Amdo, commanding all present to bow their heads. The Doctor, recognising the voice as Polly's, escapes with Ramo and meets up with his friends in the secret enclave in the temple. On rising from their prayer and finding the Doctor and Ramo gone, Lolem claims it to be a miracle. The statue has a mouthpiece on the inside designed for people to sound like their words are emanating from the idol.
Zaroff tells Thous that his plans will come to fruition in two days' time. Lolem enters and tells Zaroff and Thous of the "miracle". Zaroff is scathing of Lolem's stupidity and orders Atlantis searched despite the doubts of Thous.
Inside the idol the Doctor makes his plans: Sean and Jacko will convince the fish people to stop supplying the perishable plankton to Atlantis, and the rest will kidnap Zaroff. The Doctor and Polly disguise themselves as regular Atlantis shoppers in the marketplace whilst Jamie and Ben disguise themselves as guards. Avoiding the real guards, the four of them trick Zaroff away from his guards and into the temple where he is captured.
Meanwhile, Sean insults the fish people until they are in such a state of disarray that they agree to stop production to get back at Zaroff, the man Sean blames for their current state of servitude.
Zaroff taunts the Doctor, saying that without him the plan will still go ahead. The Doctor doubts this, stating that Zaroff's egomaniacal ways would stand in the way of such a hands off approach. Zaroff becomes enraged by this and falls into a fit. The Doctor takes Ben and Jamie to the laboratory to check on Zaroff's progress while Polly and Ramo guard Zaroff. A service is going on outside, so the Doctor and his companions hide until it is finished.
Inside the idol Zaroff repents his behaviour and begs Ramo to help him up so he can pray with him. Ramo consents after convincing from Polly. This is a trick, and a scuffle breaks out between the two. Eventually Zaroff stabs Ramo and disappears into the cave system with Polly as his hostage.
Once the service has finished, the Doctor decides Jamie should go back and ask Ramo for directions. As he turns back, he meets the mortally injured Ramo, who mutters about Polly's abduction before dying. The Doctor sends Jamie after Polly whilst he and Ben go on to the laboratory.
Jamie catches up with Polly and overpowers Zaroff. A fight breaks out between them. Zaroff appears to have the upper hand when Sean and Jacko join the fight. Zaroff runs off into the cave system. Polly decides they need Ara to help reunite them the Doctor.
Back at the council chamber, Thous is informed by Damon of the revolt of the fish people. He agrees to enter discussions with them. Zaroff enters and overrules this, saying that any dissenting fish people will be killed. Thous says he has no right to overrule him and attempts to arrest Zaroff. Zaroff shoots Thous. Zaroff then orders his two guards to kill Thous' guards — which they do. He then vows that nothing in the world can stop him now.
Episode 4 Edit
The Doctor and Ben discover the bodies left by Zaroff. The two guards are dead, but Thous is wounded. They decide to take him back to the temple.
Jacko and Sean are unsure as to what to do — they are tempted to leave the Doctor to it. The Doctor returns with Thous and announces his plans. He informs them he is to flood Atlantis to stop Zaroff. He orders Jacko and Sean to move the people while he and Ben will begin the process.
Zaroff hears that workers are leaving their post due to the shortage of food — they are having to go and scavenge their own food.
Ben and the Doctor sneak into the generating station by Ben, dressed as a guard, pretending that the Doctor is his prisoner. Once inside, they knock out the scientist and make the reactor overload before heading off to Zaroff's laboratory.
Lost in the cave system, Jamie and Polly see one of the cave walls glowing luminously due to the radiation. As the wall begins to degrade, water begins to flood in. The pair need to make it to land, but the path they choose leads to a dead end.
Jacko and Sean hear the noise and decide it's time to leave. Damon joins their gang, lamenting the ruination of his life's work. As they escape, the temple is destroyed. Thous is distressed that Lolem was in there, but they are forced to push on.
Zaroff, concerned by the fluctuations caused by the Doctor, brings the mission forward. It will commence in five minutes. The Doctor enters and explains to the technicians and guards Zaroff's true plan. They desert him. Zaroff locks himself into his laboratory, saying that the Doctor and Ben will never get to him. As time passes, Ben hears the sea approaching and makes to leave. In order to make life harder for Zaroff, the Doctor cuts off his light supply. Zaroff comes out from his laboratory, armed, to switch the lights back on. Ben returns and locks Zaroff in his own laboratory, allowing Ben and the Doctor to escape.
The Doctor wants to go back to save Zaroff, but there is a rockfall blocking the way to the laboratory.
The water rises in Zaroff's laboratory. As the dial on his experiment drops to zero, he descends into the water.
In the cave, Polly and Jamie reach a ledge and Polly gives up, but Jamie convinces Polly to continue climbing up. Soon enough they reach the surface. Jamie breaks it to Polly that it is unlikely the Doctor and Ben have survived.
Also safe, Ara, Thous and Damon think the Doctor dead. Thous wants to raise a stone for him in the new temple, but Damon says there will be no temples in the new Atlantis.
As Ben and the Doctor make their way up to the land, Ben wonders if Polly has survived.
On land, Polly and Jamie sit disconsolate, until the Doctor and Ben emerge from the ground. They head to the TARDIS. As they dematerialise, Jacko and Sean look on in bemusement.
In the TARDIS Jamie admits that, without having a clue what's going on, he is enjoying himself. The crew mock the Doctor for not being able to control the TARDIS. He says that this isn't true and to prove it he will take them to Mars. He flicks a switch and the TARDIS begins to careen out of control.

Story notes Edit
- This story had the working titles of The Fish People, Under the Sea (also referred to as Doctor Who Under the Sea) and Atlanta.
- Only episodes two and three of this four-part story exist in the BBC Archives as 16mm black & white film telerecordings.
- Since Jamie isn't actually shown inside the TARDIS in The Highlanders, part one of this story has his "bigger on the inside" moment.
- This story continues an early Second Doctor trait of assuming different disguises, a relic of the production team's original idea of having him take on different identities in every story as a means for differentiating him from William Hartnell's portrayal.[source needed] In this adventure, he briefly dresses up as a local merchant.
- At the end of episode three, Professor Zaroff utters the timeless line, "Nothing in the world can stop me now!" Davros and the Fifth Doctor would say similar lines in Journey's End and The Caves of Androzani respectively.
- In the opening TARDIS scene, Polly, Ben and the Doctor are each heard "thinking" about where they would like to land next in a rare example of internal monologue. This was achieved by pre-recording the actors' voices and playing them back during the making of the episode.
- While The War Machines still remains the only time in the history of the series where the Doctor is referred to explicitly as "Doctor Who" (although the term also features in An Unearthly Child and The Gunfighters), the Doctor's note to Zaroff in the first episode is signed "Dr. W", making this the closest the Doctor has ever come to referring to himself as "Doctor Who".
- Episode two was recovered on 19 September 2011.
- This was the first story about the lost city Atlantis.
- One music cue from this story exists, entitled "The Fish People".
- Zaroff was at one point in the script assisted by a female scientist named Steen.
- In the original script, Zaroff had more motivation for his scheme — his wife and children were killed in a car crash.
- Originally, there was a character named Ebon, but it was then decided to merge her with Ara.
Ratings Edit
- Episode 1 - 8.3 million viewers
- Episode 2 - 7.5 million viewers
- Episode 3 - 7.1 million viewers
- Episode 4 - 7.0 million viewers
Myths Edit
- Joseph Furst adopted an outrageous East European accent in his portrayal of Zaroff. (Furst used his natural speaking voice.)
Filming locations Edit
- Winspit Quarry, Worth Matravers, Dorset
- Winspit Beach, Worth Matravers, Dorset
- Ealing Television Film Studios, Ealing Green, Ealing
- Riverside Studios, Hammersmith, London
Production errors Edit
- At the start of episode three, the director's voice can be heard.
- During the underwater scenes in episode three, the Kirby wires holding up the Fish People are clearly visible.
- When Zaroff fires his pistol (a contemporary Beretta) at the end of episode three, there is a sound effect, but no evident smoke, recoil, or discharged cartridge.
- In Episode 3, after the kidnapping of Zaroff and just before he collapses, the Doctor is seen wearing an earring (part of his disguise from earlier that evidently Troughton forgot to remove). In the next scene after Zaroff collapses and the group splits up, the earring is no longer visible.
- At the end of Episode 3, Zaroff utters "Nothing in the world can stop me now!" with an eager excitement, but at the beginning of Episode 4, the line is uttered in a different tone when made again.
- In episode 2 when the Doctor is trying to convince Ramo about Zaroff, an extra can clearly be seen behind him. Funnily enough, the extra plays a guard who is looking for the Doctor.
Continuity Edit
- Azal implied that the Dæmons were connected to the sinking of Atlantis; (TV: The Dæmons) Atlantis was destroyed by the Chronovore when the Third Doctor was there. (TV: The Time Monster)
Home video and audio releases Edit
