What you see above is the Babe Ruth Sultan of Swat Award crown that was awarded to Ted Williams for having MLB's highest slugging percentage in 1957. Ya think Teddy Ballgame spent a few minutes admiring himself in the mirror while wearing that beauty? When they froze his head, I hope they included the crown!
The crown is currently up for auction, as are many other awards and trinkets from Williams's estate. Reader Bruce Menard (who, as you may recall, loves sports bling) has picked out the best bits, along with some non-Williams items:
• Here's Williams's 1949 MVP award.
• When Williams was inducted into the Hall of Fame, he got this ring.
• Remember the MLB All-Century Team? Players named to that team were given a gold watch.
• I like this 1956 All-Star Game pendant.
• Okay, that's it for the Williams items. Here's an old Thurman Munson batting helmet, which is notable for two reasons: the green underside and the lines of spun fiberglass.
• Remember how David Wells bought an old Babe Ruth cap at auction and wore it on the mound for a game in 1997? Now he's selling it. Further info on that here.
• Here's an oddity: a 1959 Yankees jersey with a zip-front closure.
• Back in 1914, the Boston Braves Navajo-inspired jackets. Here's the only known surviving example.
• A while back I Ticker-linked to this infographic of NBA championship rings. But the design shown for the 1956 Warriors doesn't match the real thing.
Membership update: A new batch of card designs has been added to the membership card gallery (including Brian Fansler's card, shown at right, which shows the Bears' George Halas sleeve memorial — a rare instance in which I granted a request for a card based on something other than the back of a jersey). The printed and laminated versions of these cards should mail out later this week.
As always, you can get your own card, and also order stickers based on your card design, on the membership sign-up page.
The century-old postcards you see at left are the basis of a new project on Permanent Record. Details here.
Uni Watch News Ticker: There are signs that the Hornets' new name may be the Spirit or the Angels. Can't say I'm in love with either of those. … It's hard to see, but the White Sox have added "BMS" sleeve lettering in memory of Bill "Moose" Skowron. Kinda surprising the Yankees haven't added a black armband for him, no? "¦ Check out this softball uniform with a giant stitching pattern on it (from Jake Keys). "¦ Here's a shot of Bart Starr wearing an unusual version of the Packers' "G" logo (from Jeff Flynn, Jr.). "¦ Manchester City is moving from Umbro — a Nike subsidiary — to the main Nike brand. "This is terrible news, as we'll now be part of the Nike template instead of with Umbro, which was a Manchester-based design team," says Timothy O'Malley). "¦ Here's more info on Taylor Made's entry into the hockey stick biz (from Steve DuHamel). "¦ Really interesting article on NASA's astronaut uniforms (from Jeremy Brahm). "¦ The latest frontier in sports-themed soda displays: a hockey rink made of Pepsi cases (from A.J. Frey). "¦ On Friday I Ticker-linked to a photo of a pink UGA helmet that had been tweeted by a player. Turns out it was a prank. … Hey look, a Jeremy Lin jersey made from Fruit Snacks. … The 49ers have their rookies' helmets ready (thanks, Brinke). "¦ New athletics logo for St. Catharine College (from Josh Claywell). "¦ "The Steelers have given their rookies jersey numbers," writes Joseph Gerard. "And while the team has otherwise used up the 10s and 80s for receivers, to the point that they have one wide receiver (not expected to make the roster, I might add) wearing number 3 at the moment, number 86 isn't assigned. Wonder if this confirms that it has been removed from circulation in honor of Hines Ward." "¦ Good video about the crew that stitches all the jerseys for the 2012 IIHF World Championships (from Erin Walock). "¦ The Madrid Open, which took place over the weekend, was the first tennis tournament ever played on blue clay. Further info here (from Jeremy Brahm). "¦ Here's a really nice wool flannel vest jersey. "¦ Miguel Cotto wore high pink socks for Saturday night's bout against Floyd Mayweather Jr. "¦ Conor Gillaspie, who was called up to the Giants when Kung Fu Panda went on the DL, doesn't wear batting gloves. And as you can also see in that shot, the Giants wore their Gigantes jerseys on Saturday (from Eric Stroker). … In a related item, Rockies pitcher Juan Nicasio wears just one batting glove — on his top hand. Wonder if it's because that's his pitching hand (from Michael Hauswald. "¦ And in another related item, the Astros were Los 'Stros on Saturday. … Jared Buccola notes that St. John's lacrosse wears a 9/11 perma-memorial. … Looks like Bucs first-round pick Doug Martin was still wearing his Boise State cleats at rookie camp (good spot by Marc Mandin). … Did you know Peyton Manning didn't like wearing a red "no contact" jersey in practices? Now that he's gone, the Colts are bringing back the red jersey for Andrew Luck. Lots of interesting info on this in this article (big thanks to Todd Usher). … Aussie rules football news from Craig Snyder, who reports that the Collingwood Magpies (now there's a great team name) are terminating their deal with Adidas. … John Muir notes that Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist has a straight jersey him, instead of the scoop/diaper hem worn by the other Rangers. … Also from John: Matt Hendricks of the Caps wears his wedding band on the ice. … It's a little hard to see, but Salty has a red swoosh on his red chest protector. Hard to imagine Nike producing something with a non-contrasting swoosh, so did Salty color it in himself? If so, why? And as you can also see in that shot, he's still wearing his brim facing forward, which I believe he started doing last year (from Ryan DeFilippi). … Either Mark Buehrle was sweating a lot on Saturday or else the gray of his jersey didn't match the gray of his pants (from William Streit). … Check this out: a high school pole vaulter who wears a helmet. Not sure of the girl's name, but she vaults for Plaquemine High School in Louisiana (from Chris LaHaye). "¦ Very nice striped stirrups being worn by Arapahoe High in Colorado (from Shane Nelson). "¦ Also from Shane: Here's a look at the "How to wear your uniform" poster in the visitors' locker room at the Pepsi Center. "¦ The Marlines de Boca del RÃo, a winter league team, have a Miami Marlins-inspired uniform. They even have an orange version. "I wonder if they have a relationship with the Marlins," says Ryan Frazer. "¦ Pitching match-up for this Wednesday's Mets/Phils game: Gee vs. Lee. "¦ Many of you probably know this already, but just in case: Lebron James is wearing a mouthguard with the Roman numeral 16 during the postseason, to symbolize the number of playoff wins needed for the Heat to win the championship. Of course, at present that number is down to 13. "¦ Anyone know the story behind this shot of Kobe Bryant in a black Lakers alternate uni? "For argument's sake, let's say that this isn't Photoshopped," says Terry Duroncelet. "Kobe is wearing No. 8 and there are three Larry O'Brien trophies in front of him, so this must be from late 2002 (in the wake of L.A.'s three-peat). What's even weirder is that it seems to combine two different eras: the general uniform last seen in 1998/1999 and the 'Los Angeles' script from the 1960s. Again, this honestly doesn't look Photoshopped to me, but if it is, then props to the guy who did it. If it's real, then I'm glad this design was never used." "¦ Several readers have noticed something odd: Although the NFL Equipment shield does not appear on Nike's new NFL jerseys (they're just going with the NFL logo, without the larger "Equipment" patch), it does appear on the Nike practice jerseys that are showing up in rookie training camps. Ditto for the practice shorts. Although you can't see it in every shot, those are all swoosh-branded garments, and they're showing up in just about every team's camp, so I don't think this is just leftover Reebok stock. Weird. "¦ Check out this shot from Saturday's Texas State/Lamar game. The weird thing is that the team in white is Lamar — the visiting team. The home team is Texas State, wearing colored tops and white pinstriped pants. "I have never seen this happen at a home team's field unless it is a conference tournament or some strange weather-related rescheduling," says Joshua Knudson. "¦ Everyone knows Lou Gehrig was left-handed. So why was he signing this baseball with his right hand? (From Matt Matchell.) "¦ New 75th-anniversary logo for the National Junior College Athletic Assocation (from Jon Rathbun). "¦ Fun story and great visuals about the branding history of 7-Up (from Jordan Cutler). "¦ This is really interesting: These two photos came from the same soccer game — Cork City vs. Dundalk in the League of Ireland Premier Division on Friday night. "The rain was so heavy both teams changed into their away shirts at halftime," explains Denis Hurley. "The officials did so as well, as they had been in yellow, which would hhave clashed with Dundalk's away, so they wore grey for the second half." "¦ "I'm currently writing a book about pedestrianism, a competitive-walking craze that was America's most popular spectator sport in the late 1870s and early 1880s," says Matthew Algeo. "I recently came across this image of a pedestrian named John Hughes donning a jersey with a corporate sponsor. The Police Gazette was a weekly sports-and-gossip tabloid, and one of the most popular periodicals in the country at the time. I can't imagine there are many earlier examples of advertising on an athletic uniform!"
Looking ahead: Tomorrow I'll have the results of the "Redesign the Hornets" contest. And then later in the week — I hope on Wednesday — I'll have a post that will shed some light on the relationship between a major university athletics program and its uniform outfitter. I think you'll find it very interesting.

How do I respond to someone that liked my wall post
Got notification that someone liked my wall post and I wanted to respond with a hello. How do I do that? I can't even find my wall post.
And don't forget that you don't have to respond at all if you don't want to. In fact, I'd say that most people who 'Like' a post or a photo or whatever, would never expect a response.
Hope that helps.
Katie :)
Apart from loving the attention LOL, it's nice when someone responds, it starts interaction and is appreciated. When someone joins and you ''like it'' at least they know their joining and any effort they have put into making a statement/introduction has been noticed.

Many people seem to desire wealth and lots of it. Mainly because it can get you nearly anything that you desire. Depending on how much your desires cost and how much wealth you have, of course, you can truly have almost anything that is available for sale in the world. The really sad and cruel part of this story is that even today, slavery is still prevalent in the world. I know that many will say that it isn't in the so-called developed countries, but it is. It is hidden behind facades that disguise it so that it doesn't look like slavery or it is hidden from view altogether, but it is there.
The sad part about this is that we don't have to have slavery at all. It wasn't needed even when it was "popular" in developed nations of over a century ago, but it existed because evil existed in their hearts. I say, evil because not only did they treat people as property, to be bought and sold and used as they saw fit, but they also used and quoted scripture out of context to justify do it.
My title is "Living well because **** ", and I know that slavery has nothing to do with living well, but (there's that word again) people can change and many countries and cultures which used slaves have changed. Yet, slavery still exists. Today, the slave trade is in children and women and men for sex slaves, which to me is even worse than in previous times. I know about the use of slaves as mistresses, but today's slaves are used by perverted, cruel people (men mostly) who care nothing for their slaves except for how they can used them and abuse them.
Living well in today's society means finding these people and exposing them or rescuing the slaves that have been taken, against their will, into this life. They did not want it, but they were placed in bondage and all that we see in the news is that some girl or boy child is missing.
Nobody knows where they went or what happened and for many, there will never be any news about recovery or rescue. Everyone will forget about their story and move on after a week or so and they will be forgotten, even today with all of the ways to communicate. What has happened to our society and the people in it that causes us to forget about people and news that are truly valuable as soon as the news is over?
Why don't we care about each other in the way that Christ wanted us to? Why can't we at least try to be like Him in our everyday life? Is life that crappy? Is it really that bad to be like Jesus? Yes, in a world where slavery still exists, life is crappy but living for Jesus and like Him makes a HUGE difference in your life and in the lives of those around you! People will see the change in you and in your character and your work ethic. Everything in your life will be changed for the better because of Him. God loves you and He always has!
The subject of this essay, post, or whatever you want to call it is a subject that people don't want to talk about. Because it is supposed to be in our past and not present in modern times, but it is! The slavery that is present now is more demeaning and cruel than that of over a century ago. Why? Because it mostly involves children being kidnapped and forced into a life of being sex slaves and they end up addicted to drugs just so they don't feel or care what is being done to them! Yes, the slavery that was perpetrated in America was a crime against humanity, because we are all made in God's image regardless of our skin color. But, what is being done by these perverts is worse because it is being done by grown men mostly with young boys and girls, some as young as eight!
I know that I have been writing upbeat articles about how to live and be successful in life, but this needs to come to the attention of many more people than just someone like me and those who read this. If you will forward this to someone who might bring attention to this outrage before it really gets out of hand in our world.

Adventure Sport Holidays in the Lake District
Any rabid outdoor adventurer has the Lake District in England among their destination of choice. And understandably so, as the Lake District serves as home to England's most challenging terrain.
A mountainous countryside nestled in Northern England, the Lake District is well within the Cumbrian region, with high summits included in its geography, among of which is the Scafell Pike, England's tallest mountain.
True to the name, the Lake District is nothing without its famed lakes, among of which is the very popular Derwentwater and Ullswater. And like the mountains that embrace these lakes, the water also yells adventure to anyone who listens.
If you thirst for a real outdoor adventure, conquering this unique terrain is a mission you are compelled to complete, even if it takes a lifetime from you. However, you have to bear in mind that you have to be relatively fit for the challenge. It is highly recommended to prepare yourself mentally and physically for this adventure by training for a couple of weeks.
Chris Walker Cycle Challenge in the Lake District
Among the adventure courses that run through the Lake District is the Chris Walker Cycle Challenge, a punishing contest reserved for hardcore mountain bikers.
The course is divided into three categories: the short route consists of 11 miles of bike trail that includes a very steep uphill climb; the medium route, a 22-mile bike trail that provides two uphill climbs through the Honister Pass; and the long route, an 85-mile stretch of bike path that passes through treacherous terrains of Honister, Hardknot, Wrynose and the hard way up Kirkstone pass.
The Chris Walker Cycle Challenge starts and ends at Keswick, so if you are up to this kind of experience, better hook up with Keswick Hotels as the challenge starts every July 24th.
If you want some water experience however, Lake District also provides the tons of water sports in its lakes. The Cumbrian town of Ambleside is right at the shores of Windermere, England's largest lake. And that means water sports almost all the time of the year.
Boating and ark sailing are the usual adventures activities that abound in Lake District. If Windermere is where you want to go, then check out the Ambleside hotels and book your stay.
Lake District also has its doors opened for 4×4 offroading. If you prefer to conquer the terrains inside a 4×4 vehicle, then all you have to do is snake through the off road trails of the Mardale or Longsleddale, both of which can be found in the Lake District National Park.
Aside from mountain biking, sailing, and off roading, Lake District also provides great venue for long hiking, river trekking, and rock climbing to name a few. If you think you are a true outdoor adventurer, then Lake District is definitely waiting for you.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has revealed why he doesn't plan on banning President Donald Trump from the microblogging service anytime soon — despite facing repeated calls to do so.
"I believe it's really important to hear directly from our leadership," he told NBC's "Sunday Today" in an interview which airs Sunday. A preview was posted online Thursday.
It's critical to hold leaders accountable and conversations should be held "out in the open rather than have them behind closed doors," Dorsey said.
"If we were all to suddenly take these platforms away, where does it go? What happens?" he asked. "It goes in the dark, and I just don't think that's good for anyone."
Trump faces constant criticism over the way he uses Twitter to goad, insult and trash political opponents, celebrities and basically anyone else he disagrees with.
Actors Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Rosie O'Donnell are among those who have felt his fury in recent weeks.
And in March, Trump tweeted ― without evidence ― that former President Barack Obama had ordered wiretaps on Trump Tower ahead of the 2016 election.
Trump's controversial Twitter habits prompted Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) to last week urge the president to harness the service to help "elevate the conversation."
"Be a uniting force, not a dividing force," Booker said in a Vox video. "Be an elevating force, not a degrading force."
So far, however, Trump appears to be ignoring the advice.

A lifestyle post today! Yesterday, my mum bought my sisters and myself to an... ice cream buffet! At this ice cream shop named 'Fanny's' *cue giggles* who sells one of the best ice creams in Ho Chi Minh City (in my opinion). On the third week of every month, they have an 'all you can eat ice cream buffet' after you pay a certain amount of $$$. If you're hungry, I suggest you delay reading this post :P
(Sorry for the low quality images, they were taken on my phone!)
|The main table with all the goodies and toppings
|Cones, waffles, cups and biscuits
|Custard stuff, fruit, nuts
|Juices, cream puffs, marshmallows (and they also had crepes!)
|Oreos, chocolate sauce, chocolate sprinkles/chips, marshmallow, cream
And what post with be completed without a picture of the ice cream?
(By the way, this was taken from their site because I would probably have looked like a weirdo taking pictures of ice cream instead of eating it)
Look at the variety! There were about 30 flavours (normal and sorbet mixed) & some of the post incredible flavours! I planned to try one scoop of every flavour (which would be 30 scoops!), but sadly, I only managed 10... (I think I need to exercise...).
My sister tried 'Chilli Chocolate' which I didn't dare to and she said it's like chocolate with spices - if anyone's interested :P
How cool is that?! Want. Want. Want.
Have you guys ever been to an ice cream buffet? What's your all time favourite ice cream flavour?

Ramana Maharshi : How did the difference of karma come about in the beginning
April 12, 2010, 12:16:58 PM »
29th April, 1948
This morning, at about 9 o'clock, a lawyer from Rayalaseema who came here yesterday, sat near Bhagavan's couch and asked, "Swami, in the Gita, Lord Krishna first said that everything is embraced in the 'doing' only, and one's self plays no role. Subsequently, He says that He Himself is the 'doer', the 'doing' and the 'deed' (karta, karma and karyam); though 'doing' (karma) is the most important of the three, it is ineffectual by itself (jadam).
If this is so, then everything depends upon the 'doer', who is Ishwara. Why when He first created 'doing' (karma), did He create different karmas for different people? It is said that afterwards everyone is made to function according to his karma. How did this difference come about in the very beginning? How did it arise?
Not only that, if everything is left to the 'doing' and to the 'doer' who is Ishwara, where does personal effort (purushakaram) come in? If there is no personal effort, why is it said that we ourselves must attain Realization? What does it mean?"
Bhagavan said,"Who is it that is asking? To whom has this doubt arisen? Why has it arisen? First think that over and find out."
The devotee: "Swami, I am only enquiring why Lord Krishna said that."
Bhagavan: "That is what I am referring to. What exactly did Lord Krishna tell Arjuna? He told him, the deed will get done according to the 'doing'. I am the 'doer' watching the whole thing from above. Why do you worry? It is your body which does the killing of your relatives. Are you the body?
No! Why then this bondage for you?
Renounce the idea, He said. This means that He asks Arjuna to do the thing but to give up the feeling that it is he that is doing it. That is personal effort.
The feeling that one is, or is not, the body, comes from one's own ignorance. One only has to give up that feeling; that which one has, one must oneself reject. Who else can do it? If by personal effort that bondage is removed,action, under the orders of the 'doer', Ishwara, goes on of its own accord.
Every one has his work allotted to him and he will do it automatically. Why should one worry? Arjuna, when he felt that it was not proper to kill his relatives, was only told to give up the feeling that he was the 'doer', yet it was Arjuna himself who ultimately fought.
By listening to the Gita, he lost the feeling of being the 'doer' and the doubt he had had was no longer there.
The work had to be done with that particular body, and it was done. Even Duryodhana was like that. Not that he was not aware of the correctness or otherwise of what he was doing. He knew that what he was doing was not right, but some force was leading him on to that work. What could he do? That work had to be done in that way by that body, and it was done. He is reported to have said so at the time of his death. Hence it is clear that some Force is making all people to do things. Getting rid of the feeling that 'I myself am doing' is personal effort (purushakaram). All spiritual practices (sadhanas) are towards that end."
Another devotee: "That is all right. For this karma there must be a beginning, but how it began, no one has mentioned."
Bhagavan: "Yes, but it is the same thing. If you are asked 'how did you get this?' you say you have got it by 'doing' (karma). How were you born? By 'doing' (karma) that is all that could be said. If, however, you ask how was this karma born, you are told you should not ask such questions.
This is known as the Law of the seed and the tree (bija ankura nyayam). The tree is born of the seed; again from the tree a seed is born. Where is the origin of that seed? That is a question which you are told is not to be asked. What can we say to that? That is why I always ask people to find out first how they were born and where they were born."
O Arjuna, the Lord dwells in the heart of all beings who are mounted upon the automation of this body, causing them by His illusive power to spin round according to their actions.
-- Gita XVIII: 61
Seek refuge in Him alone, with all your being, O Arjuna! Through His grace, you shall obtain supreme peace and the eternal abode.
-- Gita XVIII: 62

Re: Ramana Maharshi : How did the difference of karma come about in the beginnin

In fact Srimad Bhagavad Gita is like a huge orchard, with a variety
of fruits yielding trees, and fruit yielding creepers like grapes.
One can eat any one fruit that is liked by him most and enjoy.
There is no point in telling why there is variety, why not it be
a garden of only mango-trees or grapevines?
BG does not synthesize various margas. Not at all. It gives
a variety of margas, and allow you to choose one, reach the
goal via pursuit of self enquiry.
During Bhagavan's time in Tiruvannamalai, several theosophists
used to come and have darshan of Him. Everyone used to bring
a pocket edition of BG, as if it was an adornment for them!
But no one had read it thoroughly and discussed with Bhagavan.
When the devotees of Bhagavan asked for a brief version of BG,
He made Bhagavad Gita Saram, with 42 verses, selected out of BG.
Dear prasanth,
The last two verses mentioned by you, in your post, XVIII. 61
and XVIII. 62 have been included by Bhagavan as 41 and 42
of His condensation.
Arunachala Siva.

The Photograph : Painted, Posed – NGMA
March 19, 2010
The Photograph : Painted, Posed and of the moment, an exhibition currently on at the NGMA is perhaps the most significant piece of photography to manifest itself all in one place. The exhibition is wonderfully curated with not a single image being out of place or superfluous. In that sense if you want to 'trip' as in a Pablo Barthomew, come prepared with comfortable shoes and at least 3 hours to spare. You cannot or should not rush through this show. In many ways, the exhibition on at the NGMA will be a harbinger of things to come, all bode well for photography and the arts.
The photographs are arranged in a very finite order at every 'etage' of the gallery. On the ground floor as you enter, you will be messmerised by images that have messmerised us for many years now, that have in some ways etched themselves into the collective unconscious. All the photographs on this floor have been seen before, but when you stand in front of an original Henri Cartier Bresson bromide, its like meeting an old friend, an aristocrat, and a god. Everything that can be said about Bresson has been said so it would be completely dangerous to tread this territory, however there are magnificent texts by artists, sociologists, historians, musicians, editors, photographers, writers and theatre personalities among others who give the viewer another insight via language where at times the silence of the still image could speak more eloquently.
Kobo Abe in one of those placards says that a Bresson image – is not a window into space rather into Time. That sentiment could be parsed differently, most of Bresson's images exceed the Einsteinian restrictions of space/time, they move into a zone of timelessness, The geography and specificity of that Title – Mexico 1934 become redundant. Ferdinando Scianca speaks of another image of a veiled woman with child – Mexico 1934, he celebrates the 'lack of sentimentality or the picturesque' in that image and is spared of the 'blackmail of rhetoric'. He says pithily, that the image was 'taken in Mexico but devoid of mexicanisation'. This might well be a lesson to all those photographers who trump the ethnic. Andre Pieyne writes about what he calls the 'love spiders' the image of two lesbian women revealing tastefully just enough without being salacious. The issue of photographer as voyeur does crop up repeatedly, Eduardo Arroyo notes that the humorous photograph of two men in Brussels 1932, 'one peeping through a hole at reality that is concealed from us and the other in a bowler hat looking around suspiciously at being observed', reminds us that we, the per-viewer of the camera's view are all in the picture. The notion of photograph as premonition is revealed by Leonardo Sciasia with the famous image Sevilla, Spain 1933, the children depicted seem to be 'playing with war, a war they do not yet know'.
Interestingly Bresson gave up photography for 15 years till his death, his decisive finger was sketching instead. No doubt Bresson would be one of the most vivisected photographers that ever lived, his work will be scanned for psychological, social, anthropological and aesthetic nuances, its best to sum him up with one sentence, Cartier Bresson is not a photographer, he is a Photography(sic)
Pablo Batholomew who we knew and loved from the junior world press days and with sporadic visual interventions, was perhaps significant by his absence. You got the feeling that he was lost and unable to find a new way of telling old stories. The second floor digs through his archive and in all those years of sex drugs and rock and roll reveal what he found worthy of imaging, this is a sort of confession, laying open his private diary. There are some matter of fact photos of a lavatory 1975, bed sheets, Carmen's house, Bathroom shelf and a college dining room that speak of honesty and non pretentiousness that invade most of our modern ways of seeing. The fungus on his self portrait negatives are in some ways as telling. The Jawa motorcycle and the rounded cornered Allwyn refrigerator are visual semiotics of an era.
Dayanita Singh's Sent a Letter moves away from the arrogance of the limited edition archival print to a more engaging, human, quiet, understated, accordion series of books that you can posses when you leave the gallery, these are small jewels of private communication, all the images are in a square format and contact size. there is an intimacy, beauty and stillness to them. She shares space with Nony Singh her mother whose need to archive the family is beautifully depicted. The portraits are exquisite.
On the fourth floor is Umrao Singh Sher- Gil whos many self portraits and gorgeous little sepia contact prints speak of His Misery, His Manuscripts and narcissism. The autochrome back-lit images of family are stunningly beautiful.
The only other colour photographs ironically are the ones that predate colour photography, they belong to the Alkazi collection, there are the familiar colonial Deen Dayal type images but more interesting are the hand tinted photos which a decade later sometimes, gave the original, black and white photographs, a new context and added a layer of the aesthetic of a different decade. The exhibit is under lit not surprisingly, the pigments and dyes would be prone to fading. There are astonishing images that could be an inspiration to a whole generation of contemporary photographers and artists alike, but the jewel in the crown is a hand coloured Daguerrotype, you register a double take and in its mirrored image across two hundred years you can get a glimpse of yourself.

Communication is critical to safety on the incident ground, and much of that communication comes from the use of incident ground control (IGC) radio
Firefighters serving with New Zealand Fire Service will benefit from improved safety and communication while working in fire grounds through an innovative two-way radio solution.
The new solution from Motorola Solutions and Spark will enable the service's 10,000 career and volunteer firefighters to stay connected to their colleagues in the field via reliable and robust voice communication.
The organisation will receive more than 4,500 new radios designed for use in the most severe fire ground environments.
The New Zealand Fire Service attended around 73,000 incidents in the past year alone.
The radios are part of a five-year contract, which also provides access provisions for related government agencies wanting to take advantage of the new radio technology.
A key feature of the solution is a remote speaker microphone that will be fully integrated within firefighters' breathing apparatus. This will be combined with the radio's convenient push-to-talk button, which enables firefighters to communicate easily and safely in the harshest conditions.
"Communication is critical to safety on the incident ground, and much of that communication comes from the use of incident ground control (IGC) radio. That's why we were so exacting in our requirements for these new radios," says Paul Baxter, chief executive and national commander of the New Zealand Fire Service, in a statement,
We wanted a solution that is safe, easy to use and doesn't distract firefighters from their work during critical incidents
"The radios will help us to resolve radio interface issues with firefighters' breathing apparatus while also delivering improved noise cancellation and battery life."
"We wanted a solution that is safe, easy to use and doesn't distract firefighters from their work during critical incidents," says Murray Mitchell, Murray Mitchell, Director ICT for the New Zealand Fire Service. "The design features incorporated in these new radios will help our firefighters work more safely and efficiently."
By using a combination of single and multi-band radios operating across both VHF and UHF bands, the solution aligns with the fire service's vision of leading integrated fire and emergency services for a safer New Zealand.
"This radio solution enables us to move away from using a mix of models and frequencies and toward a nationally consistent standard that will make it easier to work with our emergency service partners," says Baxter.
Spark will provide in-country support including service management and a customer support desk.

COLOMBO, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Sri Lankan shares hit a two-week closing low on Wednesday, their third straight session of losses, as increased risk appetite by foreign investors failed to offset selling pressure on index heavyweights and financials ahead of corporate results.
Trading volumes were moderate as cautious investors waited for announcements of corporate results for the September quarter starting later this month and for direction on economic policy when the country's budget is unveiled early November, brokers said.
The benchmark index of the Colombo Stock Exchange ended 0.43 percent weaker at 6,510.18, its lowest close since Sept. 27.
"Similar sentiment will prevail until the next month budget," said Prasad Fernando, CEO at Acuity Research.
Turnover was 609.3 million rupees ($4.16 million), less than this year's daily average of around 750 million rupees.
Foreign investors, who have sold a net 2.46 billion rupees worth of shares so far this year, bought a net 270 million rupees worth equities on Wednesday.
Top fixed-line phone operator Sri Lanka Telecom lost 1.85 percent, while John Keells Holdings fell 0.39 percent.
Hatton National Bank and L B Finance, both of which accounted for around 50 percent of the turnover mainly due to purchases by foreign investors, ended 1.34 percent and 0.08 percent weaker, respectively.

I think a week or so ago there was a Lunar Eclipse. I don't really see what the big deal is about eclipses. You've seen one, you've seen them all right? And is it really that exciting? First of all it takes forever, the conditions have to be almost perfect, no clouds etc, and you have to remember it's even happening. Then what? It's like you can see the phases of the moon in one night instead of over a month? Oh wow, it's a full moon! Oh wow, now it's a crescent moon!Oh wow, now it's a full moon again! But it seems like every time an eclipse happens they always say that it's not going to happen again in our lifetime, or the next one will be 70 years from now. I think I have seen at least four or five since fifth grade with the homemade sunglasses. Not that exciting.

Feels Like the First time
I've probably been thinking about this particular blog for a long time and never felt like it was the right time to write about it. But since I have no girlfriend, and no real prospects on the horizon, I think I can finally do it. I think one of the funniest, (not funny while it's happening) moments in a new relationship is that first time you spend the night at a girl's house. Regardless of all the stress that goes along with that situation; the awkward moment when you realize it's a possibility to stay over, the awkward moment when you try to determine what is, and what isn't acceptable behavior in terms of what is an acceptable level of undress, etc etc. The list goes on. We've all been there, all done that. Well, hopefully we've all been there and done that. It's an important part of growing up. But on top of all that, the next morning is when the really embarrassing part happens. All the rest is normal stuff. But the embarrassing part is that I have my routine in the morning. Wink. And I wake up early, so that complicates things. I do the slow as humanly possible roll over as not to wake the sleeping beauty. But she inevitably is concerned that I am leaving without saying goodbye, or getting up to snoop around her house while she is asleep. You know, shuffle through her mail, go through her drawers, check her cell phone. Then, I tip-toe in the dark to the restroom, tripping over random shoes, and dirty laundry baskets along the way. Alright, I see this blog is going somewhere I don't want it to go. But as all this is happening I am stressing about the bathroom proximity, the elapsed time, the decibel level, just the thought of them knowing exactly what it is that I am doing in there. It's all very embarrassing and amusing to me all at once. But, it's all a part of growing up. Then there is that moment when you creep back into the bedroom... slide under the covers while trying carefully not to make much noise. "Everything alright?" "yeah, everything's fine, just had to go to the bathroom" "you were gone a while" "yeah..." No wonder I am single. I am a disgrace to myself. I gotta say I'm pretty happy with that sketch though. Looks more like my house than any girls house I've ever been in unfortunately. (protecting the innocent I guess)

There is a new karate place opening up down the street from my house. I noticed the other night that the perennially failing location was all lit up and noticed that a karate school was taking its place. I think it might actually work in that location. And by might actually work, I really mean last maybe a year. I feel like karate schools only really last a year or so anyway so that would be an eternity. But it has the right ingredients, my town is walkable for most little kids, and there are lots of little kids looking to expend some energy. The only ingredient it doesn't have that I think is necessary for karate places, is an Asian sounding name. It can't be Collingswood Karate or John Kelly's Karate. It's gotta be something like Yi's or Lee's. Also what's up with karate schools' obsession with trophies? No other business has so many trophies in the windows besides trophy stores.
But I think the real reason why karate schools are unsuccessful is you never see anyone beat anyone elses ass using karate. When I was in grade school I knew a few kids who took karate classes, but they would always say that if their sensei found out they used karate to beat someone up that they would be kicked out of the school. So what's the point of learning a skill that you will never be able to use? I guess a career in MMA is plausible but highly unlikely. What's Ralph Macchio up to these days?

get this kid a girlfriend
This poor kid hasn't been on a date in months. Talk him up. Forward this to your good-looking, fun, smart, funny, nice, and single, girl friends and get a reward. He's smart, funny, nice, fun, and good looking! He has a house, a job, a car, a masters degree, and a soft spot for brunettes. He can build things with his hands or with machines. He's an award winning architect. He's also very good at eating, and drinking and can probably bench press pretty close to his weight. Any takers out there? Apply within. I will take out all serious recommendations given by friends.

It's getting to be old news at this point, but it's still news nonetheless. I'm actually getting tired of reading about the saga that is 401 Race Street; a project I worked on for the better part of the last three years. Check it out though, it's cool to see your projects in the news. Or it's cool that they at least use my renderings when talking about it still, even though those are 3 years old at this point and the design has changed http://planphilly.com/final-vote-controversial-race-street-hotel-project-wont-happen-until-next-week. And just for fun, I will throw one more rendering into the mix just to confuse everyone. A never before seen rendering of one of my first initial concept ideas for the building. A gigantic three story curtain protecting the rooftop courtyard space from the bridge. How badass would that be if you had these gigantic curtains flapping around in the wind against the bridge a la Shigeru Ban with cafe space in the cobblestone alley alongside the bridge? It was nixed by the office in our in house crit but I still think it'd be awesome. click on the image to enlarge.

I was walking down Walnut St. this afternoon, (for those of you who don't know, it's the street where my office is located. A main drag of sorts in the city) and this woman was handing out little fliers. I took one out of curiosity like I always do. It was for a psychic reading. Naturally I crumpled it up after I read the word "Psychic". How come these psychics don't use their powers to know that I was going to just throw that away in 2 seconds? If they were smart they would have watched me walk away and come running up and be like "I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO CRUMPLE THAT UP!" At least then their powers might have some credibility.
I didn't do a very good job on that sketch either, I know. I think she's got two sets of elbows. But upon closer inspection, it looks like she sees a snowman in her snowglobe. Gonna be a cold winter!

Whole grains
I'm not really sure what whole grains actually are. Like most people I only know that they are good for me and I should eat them. But I'm not sure how many whole grains there really are. Oats? Wheat? Barely? Probably a dozen more, but what about half grains? You don't hear much about those.

Thanks to my good friend Erica Clymer, my website is now up to date and runs faster than ever! Got some new things on there too. My 1220 project has been updated and I have a bunch of new sketches loaded under the new "fun stuff" category. Some new photos and some new furniture shots are in the works. So hopefully in the next few weeks you'll see even more great stuff. Also the competition page has been updated with the latest Atlantic City Holocaust Memorial Submission. Enjoy! www.mikeizzo.com

I try to not talk about controversial things in my blogs and I try to use appropriate language all of the time. But sometimes I can't resist. It annoys me when I hear stories like this one http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/cityhall/Mayor_Nutter_Lights_City_Hall_Christmas_Tree.html People taking the Christmas out of everything. I am all for inclusion, but I am also all for diversity. But it's especially annoying when we worry about the names of things. A Christmas tree has always been a Christmas tree. And it should always be a Christmas tree. There isn't even anything religious about a tree. No religious group or rights group should be mad that they don't have their own named tree. Nobody gets upset about Christmas Sales at the store. No one says, "i wish we had our own sale" To highlight the ridiculousness of all of this, I propose having a menorah renamed a Holiday Candelabra. The Star of David is going to be renamed the Star of Holidays.

Computer viruses
I always find it annoyingly amusing when I get a pop-up on my computer warning me that my PC is infected. Inevitably a bar slides across the page pretending to delete my hard-drive. Warnings pop up that my Windows is infected yadda yadda yadda. I don't even have a PC or Windows. But nonetheless I quickly try to close out of the window. But I first have to frantically determine whether I should press "ok" or "cancel" trying to decipher if it's a trick question or not. Do I click cancel and have it do nothing. Do I click ok and have it destroy my hard drive? Do I click the "X" to close the window? Is that a trick X?
I don't know about anybody else but if I stand in front of a microwave for more than ten seconds I get chills. I feel that breeze and automatically think radiation. Like when someone sneezes near you, you wait a second, hold your breath and then get the chills a little bit knowing that a whole load of bacteria just got in your general area. I feel the same way standing in front of the microwave as I count down the last 6 seconds of popcorn to pop.

"We have no idea how long a technological civilization like our own can last," says University of Rochester astrophysicist Adam Frank. "Answering this question is at the root of all our concerns about the sustainability of human society."
Human-caused climate change, ocean acidification and species extinctions may eventually threaten the collapse of civilization, according to some scientists, while other people argue that for political or economic reasons we should allow industrial development to continue without restrictions.
In a new paper, two astrophysicists argue that these questions may soon be resolvable scientifically, thanks to new data about the Earth and about other planets in our galaxy, and by combining the earth-based science of sustainability with the space-oriented field of astrobiology.
"We have no idea how long a technological civilization like our own can last," says University of Rochester astrophysicist Adam Frank. "Is it 200 years, 500 years or 50,000 years? Answering this question is at the root of all our concerns about the sustainability of human society."
"Are we the first and only technologically-intensive civilization in the entire history of the universe?" asks Frank. "If not, shouldn't we stand to learn something from the past successes and failures of these other species?"
In their paper, which appears in the journal Anthropocene, Frank and co-author Woodruff Sullivan call for creation of a new research program to answer questions about humanity's future in the broadest astronomical context. The authors explain: "The point is to see that our current situation may, in some sense, be natural or at least a natural and generic consequence of certain evolutionary pathways."
To frame these questions, Frank and Sullivan begin with the famous Drake equation, a straightforward formula used to estimate the number of intelligent societies in the universe. In their treatment of the equation, the authors concentrate on the average lifetime of a Species with Energy-Intensive Technology (SWEIT).
Frank and Sullivan calculate that even if the chances of forming such a "high tech" species are 1 in a 1,000 trillion, there will still have been 1,000 occurrences of a history like own on planets across the "local" region of the Cosmos. "That's enough to start thinking about statistics," says Frank, "like what is the average lifetime of a species that starts harvesting energy efficiently and uses it to develop high technology."
Employing dynamical systems theory, the authors map out a strategy for modeling the trajectories of various SWEITs through their evolution. The authors show how the developmental paths should be strongly tied to interactions between the species and its host planet. As the species' population grows and its energy harvesting intensifies, for example, the composition of the planet and its atmosphere may become altered for long timescales.
Frank and Sullivan show how habitability studies of exoplanets hold important lessons for sustaining the civilization we have developed on Earth. This "astrobiological perspective" casts sustainability as a place-specific subset of habitability, or a planet's ability to support life. While sustainability is concerned with a particular form of life on a particular planet, astrobiology asks the bigger question: what about any form of life, on any planet, at any time?
We don't yet know how these other life forms compare to the ones we are familiar with here on Earth. But for the purposes of modeling average lifetimes, Frank explains, it doesn't matter.
"If they use energy to produce work, they're generating entropy. There's no way around that, whether their human-looking Star Trek creatures with antenna on their foreheads, or they're nothing more than single-cell organisms with collective mega-intelligence. And that entropy will almost certainly have strong feedback effects on their planet's habitability, as we are already beginning to see here on Earth."
"Maybe everybody runs into this bottleneck," says Frank, adding that this could be a universal feature of life and planets. "If that's true, the question becomes whether we can learn anything by modeling the range of evolutionary pathways. Some paths will lead to collapse and others will lead to sustainability. Can we, perhaps, gain some insight into which decisions lead to which kind of path?"
As Frank and Sullivan show, studying past extinction events and using theoretical tools to model the future evolutionary trajectory of humankind–and of still unknown but plausible alien civilizations–could inform decisions that would lead to a sustainable future.

We explore how questions related to developing a sustainable human civilization can be cast in terms of astrobiology. In particular we show how ongoing astrobiological studies of the coupled relationship between life, planets and their co-evolution can inform new perspectives and direct new studies in sustainability science. Using the Drake Equation as a vehicle to explore the gamut of astrobiology, we focus on its most import factor for sustainability: the mean lifetime of an ensemble of Species with Energy-Intensive Technology (SWEIT). We cast the problem into the language of dynamical system theory and introduce the concept of a trajectory bundle for SWEIT evolution. We then discuss how astrobiological results usefully inform the creation of dynamical equations, their constraints and initial conditions. Three specific examples of how astrobiological considerations can be folded into discussions of sustainability are discussed: (1) concepts of planetary habitability, (2) mass extinctions and their possible relation to the current, so-called Anthropocene epoch, and (3) today's changes in atmospheric chemistry (and the climate change it entails) in the context of pervious epochs of biosphere-driven atmospheric and climate alteration (i.e. the Great Oxidation Event).

Closing on Sunday is "We The People," an exhibit by Scott Brooks at Long View Gallery.
If you have a taste for pop sensibility framed with a dark vision of the current American political scene and nude or nearly nude male physiques, see this exhibit, "We The People," 12 new oil paintings by D.C. artist Scott G. Brooks in the few remaining days before it closes on Sunday at Long View Gallery, 1234 9th St., N.W.
Drew Porterfield, gay managing director of the gallery, says that Brooks' work "reflects the political and economic turmoil that takes up the head space of those who are paying attention." One of his paintings even depicts Fox News commentator and Tea Party advocate Glenn Beck in the altogether, sporting only strategically placed patriotic bunting. Brooks calls Beck "a fake messiah distracting people" from the real issues that surround them.
But Brooks is not much more enthused with President Obama. In the title piece of the show, "We The People," a 48-by-30-inch oil on canvas, "Brooks' disillusionment with Washington is central," says Porterfield about the work depicting a snake-charmer who distracts his followers as his head is illuminated by a Christ-like halo, a possible comment on religion, as what Karl Marx once called "the opiate of the people."
The gallery is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Saturday. Call 202-232-4788 or visit longviewgallery.com.
New gay-themed films to debut
Opening at area theaters on Friday, Dec. 3, the long-delayed "I Love You, Philip Morris," a comedy starring actors Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor as gay lovers who meet in prison and then are separated and reunited through a series of joke-filled jail-breaks and impersonations.
"Mary Lou," a modern-day fable by Israeli filmmaker Eytan Fox, featuring Tel Aviv's famous drag queen Meir/Mary Lou, playing at 9:15 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 4 as part of the 21st Washington Jewish Film Festival, at the 16th St., N.W., D.C. Jewish Community Center.
"Undertow," a 2009 Peruvian blend of gay love story and ghost story by writer-director Javier Fuentes-Leon, already selected as Peru's entry for the 2010 Academy Awards — the "buzz-film" at the San Francisco LGBT Film Festival — will be shown at the DC JCC at 7 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. Friday, Dec. 10 as part of the Reel Affirmations "R.A. Extra" monthly series of LGBT films.
'Cave of Crystals'
This is the first time that Lia Halloran, photographer, painter and professor in Los Angeles, has worked with Sarah Strauss, a Brooklyn-based architect, though they bonded years ago as graduate students at Yale University over how nature and science could sometimes intersect with art. Their joint exhibit — "Folding Unfolding: Collider" — is on exhibit at the new Artisphere in Rosslyn's repurposed old Newseum Building, 1101 Wilson Blvd, through Jan 12.
Collider is the name of their new collaborative group whose work is "all built by girls!" The exhibit includes what appears at first to be large crystals though they are in fact made out of a light-weight wood composite using 3D digital modeling techniques. Their inspiration came from the discovery some 10 years ago in Mexico of underground, half-a-million-year-old crystals, some of them as large as 37 feet long.
Another Halloran exhibit is also now at the Artisphere, a photographic series called "Dark Skate" — photos she took while skateboarding in the dark.
For more information, call 703-875-1100 or go here.
Arlington is for all lovers
Also at the Artisphere in Rosslyn, the Arlington Gay and Lesbian Alliance (AGLA) invites the public at no charge to be part of a video shoot on Saturday, Dec. 4 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., hosted by drag entertainer Destiny B. Childs. The finished video, inspired by a video of LGBT people in Paris embracing, will premiere at the Artisphere on Dec. 20. The tagline will be "Arlington is for all lovers."
For more information or to volunteer, go here.

this is for all of you who have never been to the zoo!
I'm teasing, of course. My babes get really excited to see themselves, friends, and interesting things on our blog (and I tend to take a hundred + pictures a day when given the chance), so there you have it.We met up with friends (but lost some of them early on) at the zoo today.
The first part of the day - say, oh, the first four-and-a-half-hours, were of course spent on the playground
the water-spraying elephant
playing chaseand playing tag on a grassy hill,
playing hide-and-go-seeksearching out snowcones,
and playing under the hand-dryer machine. In the bathroom.Usually we can add "at the construction site" to the list, but alas, no backhoes or tractors today!
Eventually (and almost surprisingly -or maybe begrudgingly)
we got to the businessof the animals.
We actually also successfully saw an animal show today (something we don't ordinarily sit through)! Featuring a Very Fine Giant African Millipedea chinchilla, a rabbit, and an opossum.It was a pretty great day at the zoo.
We had pretty steady and heavy rains this morning, with very cool temps, but it actually was just about perfect for the zoo!
The animals were so active, frisky, and interesting today.
We saw rasslin' bears
cuddling cougars
a sloth hanging and actually eatingand lots of other beautiful creatures.

Hi, and thank you for visiting. As you might imagine from the title, I am Sandra Keddie and this is all about my photography. For the last 12 years I have been operating my own photography business, www.sandrakeddiephotography.co.za. I think I am mainly a portrait photographer, although I do also shoot corporate, events, products and even the occasional wedding, although after a long time in that business not so much now!! So I would say far more of a commercial photographer rather than family.
I also have a beautiful little boudoir photography business – Stylishly Sexy – that keeps me busy and makes me happy!
I have previously worked in the UK, where I trained and received my qualifications. My life and business is now completely in South Africa, where I was born and raised. I work from a residential studio in Hillcrest, Durban Upper Highway area, Kwa-Zulu Natal! Although I loved my time in Scotland and miss many people and things from there, South Africa is where I feel most at home, and each day working here gives me a thrill. I have an absolute passion about what I do and I aim to delight anyone who commissions me to be part of their experience.
I have several personal projects involving digital art, and when I can get the time I also enjoy wildlife photography. I believe life is to be lived and enjoyed, and I am blessed to be allowed to capture some of the special moments in other people's lives as well as my own.
lots of love,
079 752 2124
"You've got to dance like there's nobody watching,
love like you'll never hurt,
sing like there's nobody listening,
live like it's heaven on earth,
and speak from the heart to be heard"
William W. Purkey
There are lots of different versions of the "dance like nobody is watching" quote. It has found its way into popular culture and song lyrics. My understanding is that it is best credited to William W. Purkey. He is a Professor of Education, and during a varied career he has also been a park ranger and bomb disposal expert in the United States Air Force. He uses this quote to end speeches. I like it for lots of reasons – it sort of sums up what I want to do with my art, my photography, the people I meet and share my life with, and generally how I want to be remembered.
Since that time I have steadily developed a successful photography studio and have been certified by both the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers (SWPP) and The Photographer Academy, run by Mark Cleghorn. Most recently I am absolutely delighted to have qualified as a Master Photographer with the Master Photographers Association (MPA).
More important than qualifications and kudos, I have had a wonderful time with some fantastic people. It is a genuine privilege to share someone's wedding day or new baby, and to be allowed to capture images and memories. It is an honour to be asked by a body conscious, middle aged woman to take an intimate portrait that allows her to be reminded that she is a goddess. It is also so exciting to create something totally unique, producing digital fine art from concept to framed print. I believe I bring a unique perspective to my photography business, combining a talent for album and image design with a vision in the camera. I have a complete commitment to making sure my clients are absolutely satisfied, encouraging collaboration and idea sharing.
If you would like to see more of my portfolio, please browse the blog or visit the websites, www.sandrakeddiephotography.co.za or www.durbanboudoir.co.za.
If you think that my fresh and different approach to photography might be what you need, I would be delighted to hear from you, Sandra x
Dare to Dream … Dare to Desire … Dare to be Different …

* Please send six
copies of a detailed
description of your project.
Thank you for your interest in the Francis R. Dewing Foundation. The proposal guidelines should be helpful to you in determining if your project fits our requirements.
Your project description should include a budget, so that we can specifically see where our funding would be applied. In addition, we welcome supplementary materials (photos, tapes, reports, etc.) to support your proposal (one copy will be fine).

The Trustees of the Frances R. Dewing Foundation decided to narrow the scope of the Foundation guidelines, interpreting early childhood education in real terms, thus excluding educational programs aimed at teens or adults. This was necessitated by the overwhelming number of applications and our limited funds. The Foundation also excludes funding for capital campaigns, operating expenses and general funds. Funding is also limited to organizations within the United States.
The FRD Foundation accepts applications throughout the year. However, the trustees meet twice a year to allocate funds. The deadlines for these two meetings are April 1 and October 1. Please contact us should you have any questions.
