The future's so bright, I've got to wear shades
Lost in London (Free subscription) | yesterday
I have never wanted to be famous. I can't understand what the attraction is. Loads of people you don't know loving or hating you, or even worse being aware of you and totally indifferent to you. While I don't want to *be* famous, I quite like *feeling* famous. Now, short of going on Big Brother or murdering someone, I'm not likely to be catapulted into public consciousness, but there is a really easy...

Internet holiday sales expected to rise 15%
Sacramento Bee (Free subscription) | 4 hours ago
Michelle Hewitt saved a ton of money on Black Friday last holiday season, sweeping up toys, clothing and bedding. But she never left her home. "I'd rather look online in the comfort of my own home," she said. "It's just chaos out there." For some holiday shoppers, the real deals aren't reaped by shivering for hours in the pre-dawn chill in a crowded big-box store parking lot. Hewitt,...

Honest. Real. Highly Explicit
The Blog, The Girl, The Life (Free subscription) | yesterday
All the things your too scared to admit or write down: So I'm slightly concerned about the events of today/last night I had a panic attack. Which is the first for months so it's very strange to be experiancing them again. I had a flashback where it felt so real it was almost present time. He had forced me to give him head (let's put it that bluntly) and I felt my throat contract, or something, and...

Rob Teilhet Breaks a "Rule"
GEORGIA WOMEN VOTE! (Free subscription) | yesterday
"Stay in your own lane." That's one of the cardinal rules of a successful political campaign. Rep.

Dryden: Religio Laici
Surroundings (Free subscription) | yesterday
To conclude my brief series on Dryden, here’s Religio Laici . My Selected Poems only has an extract from this of the first 167 lines. The poem is essentially an argument for Religion over Reason. It was, I suspect, quite a counter-cultural poem. It was the Age of Reason and the Church of England was spending (wasting?) a great deal of its time in dialogue with a rapidly changing culture and felt...

The sunflower patches are just down the round from Blakemere Farm in Preston-On-Wye and Bridge Sollers.

Photography - Wales - Mark Robert Davey (MRD)
annettestrauch | 07/06/2009
MRD often works in black and white, paying attention to detail and reducing the images to the essential. He tilts his camera a lot and as a result he gets his certain angle as can be seen on the photograph of the mysterious door in Venice. Combining simple structural and textural elements with orchestrated interplay of bright highlights and deep shadows MRD creates a poetic atmosphere both romantic...
