Photographer's Note
Two pillars of Indian culture: family - religion.
As I tried in last photo to show the intensity of believe in the Meenakshi Temple, I hope that you see here these two deep values of Idian social culture, The Family and The Religion, a hope and an example to the world, today on Ascension Day.

The smoke from the insnece give this shot a true sense of ceremony and grandeur. The rays of light are amazing too.
the colors so rich and powerful too.
I wish we could see more of the child andnot just a foot.
Beautiful work.
maphoto (8082) 2005-05-04 23:07
Beautiful photo Henk, the light is very nice and separates well the blur part on the right of the part on the left, very good mood and well composed, thanks for sharing, well done.
kaud (1840) 2005-05-05 0:36
Lots of things are there to look at - Devotion, Light, transcluence smoke, common Tamil man and his wife.
Appreciable shot.
Touches me.
arnabchat (7233) 2005-05-05 1:30
have you done this so many times, but it never becomes old. everlasting expressions, mystic light, i can almost smell the atmosphere. wonderful.
alainh (35581) 2005-05-05 1:39
hello Henk.
Splendid shot. Greats colours and light.
another fabulous job.
ianmcall (1213) 2005-05-05 1:52
Nice light and colour and the slanting ray of sun light helps to highlight the smoke. Lovely peaceful scene.
A somewhat humourous touch from the smoke; it fades out while it curls past the hair of the woman in white, then "appears" out of the top of her head.
I'll be at this temple in August; can't wait1

prachtig Henk,
De sfeer, het licht, de compositie, de kleuren, de vakmanschap van de fotograaf, maken dit alles tot een schitterend geheel. Henk, De loftrompet voor U,

Very interesting shot with many details and perfect compo. The smok in the light is something.
kinginexile (2598) 2005-05-05 2:48
Wonderful, Henk! There is something inspiring silence in this shot, and we can read the deep respect you mention in your note, in the image, itself. Truly a great pleasure to the eye to see such sharpness.
PS: so 1600 can be a cool ISO to use....With a great lens!
cool_krishna (465) 2005-05-05 3:38
Henk, thats a lovely piece of work. Stunning. Like the way the light streaks across the picture. The smoke from the lamp also adding the mystic factor to the picture. The fading structure of the pillars on the extreme right are also very nice and clear. Its a real good picture to look at.. very peaceful and calming..
Nina (4965) 2005-05-05 3:46
Excellent capture Henk, the lighting is great and your composition is very effective. I just may have cropped the figure on the left or somehow disguised it by cloning as it distracts a little.
Luan (12971) 2005-05-05 4:00
A very nice picture Henk. The light is beautiful and translate very well the atmospher of prayer. The colors are great. We can fell all the devotion they have for protect their family.
Nice compo.
tars (882) 2005-05-05 4:01
Prachtige foto, Henk. Zeer mooie, warme tinten. De rook in de felle lichtstraal geeft een aparte sfeer weer.
Zeer goede foto.... Tars
thaprem (2554) 2005-05-05 4:17
Man!...These are incredible...I hope one day I can produce such photographs with such moving story line( & perhaps have my TE Photos commented by Henck, like so many others in TE who learnt it from Henck & Claude Renault - Too much to ask, I guess :) )...Words of description not needed... Ithu oru uyiroviyam!!!!..
AmiBe (6042) 2005-05-05 4:34
Hi Henk,
excellent atmosphere here, like your previous picture.
The light is superb... Beautiful family !
Very good, thank's
mortijo (12828) 2005-05-05 4:43
Magnificent shot, a very good composition. Beautiful interplay of light and shadow.

Nog één? Magnifique! Opnieuw een heel krachtig beeld. Heel goed gedaan.
Michael (277) 2005-05-05 4:57
Hi Henk,
Once again a perfect shot to help us to understand indian culture. This place is a real treasure for photographers ! light and smoke create a wonderfull atmosphere, colors are also beautiful...and the lovely girl praying silentely brings more emotion.
A very nice one !
Thanks for sharing
Mafo (1339) 2005-05-05 5:01

Again a wonderful light mood and beautiful colors in this image!
There must be a very special atmosphere in this temple.
Great shot!

Hi Henk,
This snap, like most of your other snaps brings out the beliefs, traditions and customs from deep inside our country. I dont know which one i like more, your pictures or your notes...I am confused...:)
I like the way you have taken this shot where the husband stands behind looking over his family and the wife looks like a devout believer, praying for her family. Nice capture of the Indian sentiments
gaby (19819) 2005-05-05 6:16
Hi Henk,
Fantastic shot, light and composition -
it's wonderful and very strong (we feel a lot the intensity of believe)-
alimo3 (6854) 2005-05-05 6:50
this is a great picture Henk !
even if it is not perfectly sharp, i like this one better than the one from yesterday .
amazing atmosphere, nice colors ,magic light ,and almost smell.
jeanfrancois (1260) 2005-05-05 7:42
Splendid capture. especially the characters faces and the ray of light.
rbcy1974 (20758) 2005-05-05 8:27
Wow Henk,
I realy like the intens elight shinning on the girl, its as if the whole world stopped to look at her. Trully impresive.
weswang (18223) 2005-05-05 10:30
Hi Henk, I see this picture has some humor sense there. The guy was tightly watching the lady. He may be listening to the ladys prey, trying to figure out what is the lady preying about. In comparing your yesterdays photo, this photo provides an open view of the area. The smog is not as dramatic as the last one though.
Goof DOF and clarity. Again, a nice shot.
greg64g (11193) 2005-05-05 14:44
Hello Henk,
Nice picture, i love the light, pleople looks nice to pray.
jemaflor (83779) 2005-05-05 15:58
Great ! Wonderful light, excelent sharpness ... all in your shot is interesting.
johnhopkins (866) 2005-05-05 16:28
Wow Henk. This is really special. Such wonderful light and vivid colours complement the impressive religious atmosphere in this special temple. Once again your quality equipment and PP produce outstanding sharpness.
Henk, you are definetly the master of light and shadows. Really good representation of both family and religion. Superb... good job. Nice composition and saturation.
robiuk (10807) 2005-05-05 19:58
What a rich spectrum of colours and thickness of the air inside the temple!!!
SImply fantastic even though a wee bit oversharpened, IMO.
Thanks Henk,
bboss (3578) 2005-05-05 21:11
This is awesome, an incredible light here, the way the smoke is caught in the beams of light, in fact the whole composition is wonderful. Perfectly sharp and very good exposure for a difficult situation. There is something very special about this temple which comes across in the many fantastic shots here on TE. Thanks for this one
cheers, David
avigur_11 (22077) 2005-05-05 23:15
Another very good one, Henk. This time it works very well with the inclusion of the lower part, and with the empty space on the right. The light beam is fantastic with the smoke that goes through. I like what the light does to the colors of the sculpture. VEry well done.
AnimeshRay (9087) 2005-05-06 1:12
Very dramatic mood!
Love the play of light and shadow. Nice composition.
baptistc27 (102) 2005-05-06 3:14
'ting ting ting' i can almost hear the bells ringing...intensive devotional spiritual and yet again i can smell the incense burning, the shaft of light on the idol almost seems magical.........but there is a feeling of slant in the image...its almost seems like pic shot in the past where people lived in temples and caves...thanks so much for sharing...keep it up and looking fwd for more...rgds baptist
ChrisJ (96704) 2005-05-06 3:48
Hi Henk
Superb sharpness, & good use of a narrow dof. I like the ray of light catching the smoke, & the o.o.f. figure in the background. Well done!
Galmeida (12559) 2005-05-06 5:31
Hello Henk,
This is really a master piece! You captured very well this ceremonial and religious atmosphere. All the present elements are clear and working for this ambience of light, mistic and devotion. A wonderful composed frame in this area.
goldfish (71) 2005-05-06 7:24
wow beautiful. the lighting looks ethereal.u have caught the beam of sunlight beautifully.
elihesamian (26149) 2005-05-06 9:08

Rockyboy (20598) 2005-05-06 17:20
J'aime bien ce rayon de soleil qui élcaire la fumée de l'encens. La zone de netteté est par ailleurs très bien maîtrisée et los couleurs sont superbes. Goed gedaan, Henk!
jmdaoudal (82) 2005-05-06 22:16
Lumière, volutes de fumées, et personnages éclaires. La composition rend bien la religion et la dévotion de ces personnes.
le cadre est magnifique.
Grande photo.

Tue (27696) 2005-05-07 18:30
Hoi Henk,
Dit is een hele mooie foto! Zoals dat licht de tempel binnenvalt is werkelijk prachtig! De compositie en kleuren zijn ook erg goed!
Heel mooi werk! :-D
lestans (17104) 2005-05-08 9:03
Light is alive, light is really special in these shots! I love every pic of yours, Henk, but now you discovered something new in the use of the light, I can't understand what is it, but it is wonderful. Maybe light is behind people, but there is some light also in front ofthem. So I get amazment looking at the picture. Thank you Henk!
jhm (138280) 2005-05-14 11:59
Dag Henk,
Eentje die mijn ontsnapt is,(hier is dit niet zo erg ontsnappen nietwaar!) en zo mooi gedaan met de rook en de speciale belichting.
Verdient zeker zijn twee punten of meer,
gringofil (0) 2005-05-16 5:09
This is just amazing, Henk. The way the light illuminates the temple is just amazing and the light on the woman's face makes the shot for me. The smoke itself is also a great addition. This is quite a breathtaking shot...I would venture to say that is just might be one of your best. You should print it large and post it on your wall. Great work!
sandip (3492) 2005-05-18 8:29
i dont know how did i miss it.. i was looking again in ur gallery.. most of the photos i have seen already but this one.. i dont know why ?? A nice moment indeed. Much of the photos i have seen from here like Claude's one and Maciek's one.. The atmosphere is so spiritual that i could understand u can deeply go inside the subject.. the people the light the smoke .. everything is so perfect henk.. Nice too show us such a spiritual photograph.
flydragon (0) 2005-05-18 20:23
Hello Henk
i missed some of your pics
i am happy to see this one, this is a beautifull
picture, the light is great, this woman in blue

the gaze from the guy behind and the fog around.
nothing to critic here, a master piece
i am looking to buy the 70-200 is ;o)

Henk - This is a superb atmospheric image and I image one that at the moment of pressing the shutter you knew that you had captured something special. Regards Colin
Jeppe (18654) 2005-05-21 16:59
Truly a magic moment you captured here - the Mix of light and the way it becomes visible due to the smoke gives a great atmosphere. I like the tense look of the woman and man - Congratulation Henk very well done.
cam (9041) 2005-05-23 13:15
Great picture Henk.
I do not know where to begin,everything is perfect.
The limited light with the shaded area are very difficult to deal with and well dealt you did.
The composition is very good.I like to see the red statue so well lighted as is the couple.
The smoke adds another dimension and helps to keep our sight in the center.
A masterpiece.
Didi (56345) 2005-05-23 14:26
bonjour Henk
La fumée de l'encens éclairée par la lumière naturelle en contre-jour est la clef de la réussite de cette composition.
Je note aussi la position des personnages sur un point fort de l'image.
C'est du très beau travail.
hello Henk
The smoke of the incense lit by the natural light in back-light is the key of the success of this composition. I note also the position of the characters on a strong point of the image. It is very beautiful work.
lucinka (9976) 2005-05-26 17:40
Thanks for this great photo. It me back to India, which I endlessly fell in love with. I was only thinking that different cropping would make the atmosphere even stronger. L.
MoosicMan (1231) 2005-05-27 6:22
Henk, it's really a masterpiece, the way you have captured this natural light in such a dark place, we can really do a lot with these cameras these days at ISO 1600. The sunbeam coming through the smoke and the expressions on the faces are terrific. Congratulations.
Burberry1 (6041) 2005-05-27 16:55
Wonderful! It's amazing how authentic can a photo become!
Thanks for sharing:))))))
nbournas (3229) 2005-05-30 17:45
Beautiful mystical mood captured in this shot. You have done a superb job with the exposure metering.
keribar (43841) 2005-05-31 15:30
Hello Henk,
This one is also one of the best pictures on TE, I know that Claude has a few ones which can be compared: I like it so much that in the back of my brain, deep somewhere I wonder whether I'll be able to catch something similar if I go the Meenakshi temple
one day. This is pure appreciation of your value if I may say so. Goes to my favorites !
1600 ISO ? Doesn't look grainy at all !
Keep well - Izzet
Gregtom (7167) 2005-06-03 1:51
Hello, Henk! This picture has an unique atmosphere created by the ray of light passing through the smoke from incenses... Beautiful colors and perfectly captured scene. Thanks for sharing!

You have captured the spirit the India !
kevinos (7393) 2005-06-15 22:50
I have managed to miss this one before , Henk, It is stunningly full of atmosphers and feeling. The composition is very powerful and the incense adds atmosphere. I was not quite sure about having the area to the right, behind the pilar, empty, but -then again- any activity there would have distracted from the centeral action. I might have been tempted to crop a little for the right, to see if it made the composition stronger. It's a wonderful picture, anyway, thanks for sharing it. Kevin
Timmok (802) 2005-06-17 8:48
Hi Henk,
Superb picture. I love the way you captured the light going through the smoke as well as the woman's expression and colours of the clothes.
sergecross (3438) 2005-06-28 19:42
Henk, well Done!!
Great theme.
dasilva (141) 2005-07-07 11:48
Hi, I like very much this one in particular. I can feel religious serenity.
Maybe I would prefered without so much space on the right of the picture ...
wishnugaruda (1305) 2005-07-30 16:01

pjindam (9) 2005-11-22 12:37
dear friend,
it was nice to read your msg tht image was taken through cyber shoot and the thing is i like to capture her as it is when i told her tht i am taking her pic she already was shy for shoot and u can see tht expression on her face and after tht pic i showed it to her she was amazed tht how can u see the pic which was clicked now. thts wht india was for me when i was in small village of allilbaugh
and lastly about this image it reminded about the prayers which happen in temples in kerela which i feel they pray from there heart and thts wht it shows from this image
i am in dubai right now and thinking of buy a SLR i think u r the best person to ask.
MichaelTrezzi (3347) 2005-12-09 11:29

ryno (6835) 2006-06-27 16:12
Hi Henk, I really like this shot. There is something very delicate about it. The colours, the ray of sunlight catching the incense smoke, the glint of light on the incense holder - a very private moment, but captured in a non-intrusive, sensitive manner. Very well done!
Soumya (138) 2006-07-02 2:47

Hey Henk,
You have captured strong daily life images in your gallery. Great POV, composition and image quality is superb! You know how you light a subject; you can light the whole set in such intensity...very good "editorial" daily life piece!
wautersw (3647) 2006-08-31 14:59
Beste Henk,
nu ik uw bibliotheek doorblader valt deze foto me op. Prachtig licht en scherpte. De rook die langzaam opstijgt... Niets aan te verbeteren. Het origineel is m.i. beter dan de workshop, omdat je daar de "ruimte" waarin dit zich afspeelt mist. Ik reis virtueel verder in deze mij onbekende maar in elk geval prachtig in beeld gebrachte streek.
Kititit (813) 2006-09-04 12:00
this photo caught my attention for the impressive ray of light you managed to capture!
contrast is beautiful between colours and highlights/shadows.
i agree with your note and it is very helpful too.
the WS is helpful but i prefer the origial photo because that dark side brings harmony to the photo.
Polonaise (5802) 2006-09-15 9:57
Utmost beauty, Henk !!!!!!!!!!
How is it possible I missed this one.
You have to forgive me, my friend.

My highest praise goes to your work, pla.
guillaumejm (0) 2006-10-22 5:33
While looking at your gallery I got this one which is gorgeous. The way you've capted this light and your framing is absolutly perfect!. Sharpness and colours are trumendous.
Really a perfect picture one of the very best I've seen up to now.
I wanted to add that it's not only by the quality of the picture itself (technical point of view) that I love this picture, but also and even more important by the testimony it brings and indian main values.
Best regards
samudhra (0) 2006-10-25 9:34
Hi Henk,
Great Photograph. I could the feel the place & surrounding of hanuman statue in Meenakshi amman temple. Wonderful photograph. you have captured the emotions of people over there. The bakthi over the girls face and as her husband waits for her, some thought process running back in the mind....really good. The smoke and light coincides where the dominance of third object deepan/vilakku adds beauty to it.
Great Job

Salut Henk,
Voilà le genre de photo que j'aurais voulu ramener de mon voyage (qui vient à peine de se terminer, pfff !). Mais je n'ai pas ton talent. J'ai visité ta galerie, dur de choisir. Elles sont superbes tes photos. Mais celle-ci me touche particulièrement. Quand je la regarde, j'entends les bruits, je sens les odeurs, tout y est, la fumée de l'encens, le rayon de soleil dans la poussière et la fumée, la femme en sari coloré en prière, ça c'est l'INDE. J'adore. Amitié, Patty.
japiey (10163) 2007-03-30 2:24
Hi Henk,
This reminds me more about the traditional and cultural values of India, and the divinity that is absorbed with the beautifull composition makes this outstanding framing. The light seems to emerge from the abode of God, blessing the new couples, where she is so immersed in prayers to guide her through this life. Your observation is perfect and the note is good. Thank you.

Here, I am simply speachless... Did not read the so many other comments of course and don't know what to add, simply : there is so much emotion and expression and intensity and mysticism in this shot ; maybe the most beautiful photo in your whole gallery (that I've not yet seen entirely) !
Pure magic,

Tila Tequila has agreed to seek help.
The reality star has consented to enter rehab for substance abuse and treatment of psychological issues a week after her suicide scare, TMZ reports.

Lee Majors to guest-star on $#*! My Dad Says
Tila Tequila says she was attacked while on stage at the "Gathering of the Juggalos" music festival, CNN reports.
On her Twitter account late Saturday, she wrote: "The people at Juggalos behavior was disgusting ..." ("Juggalos" are fans of the hip-hop group Insane Clown Posse.)
Tila Tequila's Top 4 Twitter debacles
Hardin County Sheriff Tom Seiner told TVGuide.com he received a report from the 28-year-old reality star over the phone about 8 o'clock Sunday morning, but she said she was unable to go to the police department to have photographs taken of the injuries.
After she was jilted on the Tuesday night finale of A Shot at Love by former Playboy model Kristy, Tila Tequila characteristically took to the Internet and unleashed a string of expletives on her MySpace page (link most definitely NSFW).Like an NC-17 Rosie O'Donnell, Tequila expressed her pain in rhyme. Filthy, dirty, potty-mouthed rhyme. "For a long time coming... I let you touch me... now that it's over, b----... You better start running." Ouch. (And that's the tame stuff!) Tila also threatened to punch Kristy in the face, and accused the model of "using" her to get on television.Bisexual Tila chose the model from a group of 16 straight men and 16 lesbian women. J.R.

Dressed in a formfitting tee and a thigh's-the-limit miniskirt, Internet wild child Tila Tequila throws open the doors and welcomes TV Guide into the red, glitter-painted mansion that serves as her home for A Shot at Love 2 (Tuesdays at 10 pm/ET, MTV). In the hit matchmaking reality show, 15 women and 15 men compete for the affections of the bisexual cyber-pinup. "Welcome to my crib," Tequila says, as she bops across the bright, multicolored entrance hall. "Let me give you a tour."
In case you've never heard of Tequila (and there are a few adults who haven't), here's a quick introduction: Born Tila Nguyen in Singapore to Vietnamese parents, Tila Tequila is the 26-year-old Texas runaway turned lad-mag-cover model who rose to fame by racking up more than a million friends on MySpace. Kind and understatedly cool, she's the nice bad

Delish Cooking School: Pictures, Information, and Tips About Vegetables
Today's vegetables bear little resemblance to the limp, gray-green culinary selections on our plates only two decades ago. They have now become a source of pleasure appreciated for their bright colors, crisp or tender textures, and distinct flavors. Some greens are still seasonal delicacies. Check out pictures of some of the great vegetables you can buy today and get facts about picking and cooking them with this exclusive content from the Delish Cooking School cookbook.

Borlotti Beans
Distinguished by their reddish-brown streaked pods and seeds. Only the seeds are cooked, and these lose their streaks once cooked. Their mealy texture makes them perfect for minestrone or stews. Fresh borlotti are avilable in autumn. Also sold dried.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Dot!
Facts about Dot
- Breed: Chihuahua/Glen of Imaal Terrier Mix
- Color: White - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Dot's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This little sweetie was such a fresh change in breed that I almost did not want to put her up for adoption. She was a lost dog that was never claimed after attempts to find her owner. She was found playing with the traffic at Willow Oaks School. She had no fear of cars. We stopped and opened our door and she jumped right in. Very happy little dog who loves to drive the car with you. She speaks a little Spanish and can do a little Mexican hat dance. Does tricks for treats, But she hates her crate.
Other Pets at Cyan's Private Garden Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Dot, a Memphis Chihuahua/Glen of Imaal Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua/Glen of Imaal Terrier for sale in Memphis, or seeking a Chihuahua/Glen of Imaal Terrier dog from a breeder in Memphis.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Memphis already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Memphis breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua/Glen of Imaal Terrier breeders who help with Chihuahua/Glen of Imaal Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Memphis paves the way for another one to be saved.

Sat, Oct 28, 2006
A Cape Cod-area airport
is looking for help from above in a federal civil suit...
specifically, from the FAA.
The Barnstable Patriot independent newspaper reports officials
at Barnstable Municipal Airport (KHYA) have called on the agency
for help against a suit filed by Rectrix Aerodrome Centers, which
operates an FBO at the Hyannis, MA airport. The lawsuit claims the
airport is siphoning funds to the town, through what it terms an
illegal monopoly in jet fuel sales.
Rectrix claims that's a violation of the federal Racketeer
Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. (Fans of "The Sopranos"
may recognize that by its more familiar RICO acronym.) Currently,
the city-owned FBO is the only source of Jet-A at the airport --
requiring Rectrix, which caters to the business aviation crowd, to
purchase fuel from them and truck it over to its facility.
That's not illegal, however, argues attorney, Scott Lewis for
the Barnstable Municipal Airport Commission (BMAC) -- and he's
asked the FAA to step in. Lewis has asked the court to postpone its
ruling on Rectrix's lawsuit, until the FAA can rule on the alleged
If the FAA says the city is in the clear, then that ruling would
invalidate the entire lawsuit, Lewis says, as Rectrix's claim
centers on an "illegal scheme."
"If the FAA finds no violations, as the BMAC expects it will,
there will be no foundation for the allegations of unlawful
predicate acts upon which all of the RICO claims rest," reads the
airport's motion. "The Court should therefore decline to act on the
RICO claims until Rectrix has obtained a determination from the
In his response to the
town's "motion to stay" pending review by the FAA, Rectrix attorney
Marc Kasowitz maintains such a motion doesn't exist for a case such
as this. Kasowitz does acknowledge the FAA's opinion could prove
helpful to the court, however, but he says it shouldn't sway what
is, essentially, a matter between the city and Rectrix.
"While the [defendants'] motion contains a lengthy
recitation of federal aviation law and certain prior proceedings
before the FAA, defendants do not, because they cannot, provide any
authority or valid basis for staying this action in favor of FAA
proceedings, because no such authority or basis exists," the
response reads. "To the contrary, Rectrix's claims arise from
defendants' racketeering, fraudulent and monopolistic
practices, as well as the common law tortuous conduct."
In other words... the Feds can butt out.
Kasowitz has also filed a cross-motion for a default judgment...
asking the court to rule in Rectrix's favor, as the town's response
(calling on the FAA) is not allowed in this type of lawsuit.
For now, the matter is still before the courts... with a ruling
expected sometime next month. Stay tuned.

Washington State's Iconic "Bike in a Tree" Vandalized
VASHON, Wash. -- An island icon that has weathered six decades in the woods has apparently fallen prey to vandals.
Someone has stripped and stolen parts of Vashon Island's iconic 'bike-in-a-tree,' leaving it without a front wheel, a back tire, and more. Local residents began to notice the changes over the past few weeks, but no one reported the vandalism to authorities, a King County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman said Thursday.
The bicycle - off of Vashon Island's main thoroughfare - has grown into the tree after being left there by a young boy in 1954. As the tree grew and swallowed up parts of the bike, it became the basis of local legend and even the inspiration for a children's book.
"It's a bit of history. It sort of fits in with the atmosphere of Vashon Island," said Marita Ogden, a tourist from Tempe, Ariz., who stopped by to photograph the bike on Thursday morning. "The pictures I've seen - there was substantially more bike, so I was surprised there was so little of it left."
"That's too bad," she continued, "because it's a bit of history and sort of an adventure to go find it."
Photos and video from 2013 show a full front wheel and fork intact on the bicycle.
Those parts - along with others - appear to have been taken from the local landmark.
"A lot of people look for that bike in the tree, definitely," said Nancy Weed, who has lived on Vashon for decades. "But if something gets popular, people decide they need a piece of it, and so they destroy it."
Weed noted that the restaurant next to the bicycle closed a few weeks ago. A large bike shop on the island - whose owner would often replace missing parts of the bicycle, locals say - also closed this year.
New bike shop owner Tristan Ruegamer read about the vandalism this week and decided to start looking for replacement parts.
"It's an island icon," said Ruegamer, who opened his store, Skunk Works Custom Bicycle Repair, three months ago. "The first thing people want to know when people rent bikes from me is, 'where's the bike in the tree?' That's now not going to be an option."
Ruegamer figures that as word gets out, local residents will begin to donate antique parts to help restore the bicycle.
"Once everybody finds out, they'll be coming in and saying, 'hey, I got a few things. Come look at them,'" he said.
"Whoever did it, they're gonna get found out," Ruegamer added. "That's just the way things work on an island this small.

Beiber Booed At Canadian Football Halftime Show
By editor
Originally published on Mon November 26, 2012 4:44 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep with sad news for Beliebers. Justin Bieber's video for "Baby" is no longer the most viewed video on YouTube. The new record-holder is "Gangnam Style" by the South Korean rapper PSY, which topped 820 million views this weekend. And then this happened. Yesterday, Mr. Bieber gave a halftime concert at Canadian football's championship game and his home country crowd booed. Bieber called out coolly: Thank you so much, Canada. It's MORNING EDITION.

Mitsubishi UFJ Lease and Finance Co agreed to buy U.S. aircraft leasing firm Jackson Square Aviation from Oaktree Capital Group LLC for about $1.3 billion, signaling rising interest from Japanese companies to tap the growth potential of aviation finance industry. Japan's No. 3 lender Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group acquired Royal Bank of Scotland's aircraft leasing business for $7.3 billion in June, becoming a major player in the industry that is expected to enjoy growth amid the growth of low-cost carriers and rising air travel in emerging markets.
Mitsubishi UFJ Lease, 20 percent owned by Mitsubishi Corp , will acquire JSA International Holdings for about 100 billion yen ($1.27 billion), the Japanese company said in a statement. It will use cash on hand and new loans to finance the acquisition, scheduled to take place in December, it said. San Francisco-based Jackson Square Aviation, led by Pegasus Aviation founder Rich Wiley, has a fleet of about 70 aircraft. Earlier this year, Mitsubishi UFJ Lease set up an aircraft lease operation in Dublin, with a fleet of about a dozen planes.
"Not only in aviation leasing but in other areas as well, we may make further acquisitions when there are companies with good assets," a Mitsubishi UFJ Lease spokesman said. Faced with weak business demand at home, an increasing number of Japanese financial companies are making a push into the aircraft leasing industry, taking advantage of the retreat of European rivals. Orix Corp, which has one of Japan's largest aircraft leasing operations, has said it plans to increase the fleet owned or managed by the firm to 200-250 within a couple of years from current 150. Mitsubishi UFJ Lease's shares climbed 3.0 percent on Thursday. Japan's benchmark Nikkei index gained 0.9 percent. ( C) Reuters

It's Hard to Say No When My Toddler Says Please
I'm afraid I may have fallen into a trap.
A few months ago, I decided that my 2-year-old son needed to start learning some manners. And so began his first lesson: the word "please." At first he kind of thought it was a joke, and when prompted to say it, he would hold out on me on purpose. But after several weeks of reinforcement, he came to learn that there is, indeed, a polite way to ask for things.
Only now there's a problem. Every time my child says "please," I feel like it sets the expectation that his wish will be unquestionably fulfilled. And it's not just me internalizing–he sees it that way too. Read the rest of this entry →

Happy New Year!
January 1, 2009 by Dr. Lam
Time truly flies. I literally cannot believe that 2008 has drawn to a close and the new year is already upon us. I think today should be a time of both reflection of the past year and what we have in store for us in the coming year.
Although 2008 has been a rocky year in the world, I am grateful that LFP has been relatively shielded from the effects so far of the economic downturn. Instead of dwelling on the negatives, I would like to focus on some of the positive milestones of this past year. First, I finished writing my 5th book in 5 years, Aging Face: The New Paradigm, which I am very proud of. This should be my last venture into the world of hard-core academic publishing besides ongoing book chapters and scientific papers. In a way what I foresee for myself is to transition from an ensconced academia into the mainstream (more about that in a moment). I am also proud that a year ago I took 4 months out of my life and studied hard to sit and pass the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and am now a diplomate with only 120 others in the world. This past year I had the good fortune of completely filling my building but then losing ground with the closure of the lap-band center and vein center upstairs. Nevertheless, my spa opened and is growing by leaps and bounds and the anti-aging center and rolfing center are going like gangbusters. Although in 2007 LFP had 1 or 2 slow months, this is the first year that we had complete uniformity with no slow months and bookings several months out in advance. I am very proud of the accomplishments of my staff and my building.
My next year will carry more responsibility in many ways. First, I will be carrying the title of moderator for my Entrepreneur's Organization (EO) forum, which will demand much time from me. Second, I shall be turning up the heat as Editor-in-Chief of the academy's Face Book that will be published as a major consumer's guide to facial plastic surgery (don't worry, we copyrighted Facebook before facebook.com did). My plan over the next two years will involve becoming much more of a mainstream presence on television, public speaking, etc. I am very much interested in getting my vision out to every household to the best of my ability. I look forward to a fun, exciting and growing 2009, and I hope you continue your journey with me.

Alabama Beverage Control agents have destroyed an illegal moonshine still in Pike County. According to ABC officials, agents found the still Thursday in some woods near the Stills Crossroads Community.
Lt. Lance Price with ABC tells CBS 8 the 12-barrel still was capable of producing up to $2,500 of illegal whiskey a week. The still was reportedly in a residential area near several homes. No arrests have been made. The investigation is ongoing.

The Post-Mortem Post
Let the record reflect: I was no Nate Silver, who famously used math to accurately predict the results of all fifty states; I missed one state, North Carolina, which I thought would, once again, go to President Obama. Still, I can't help but point out that when I predicted Florida, Nate Silver, at the time, was suggesting it would go to Romney, a prediction he revised only twenty-four hours before the election. And it turned out that North Carolina was closer than most had anticipated; Obama lost by only 33,000 votes.
But that said, I'm not suggesting, in any way, that I was prescient or preternaturally insightful; for months, I've been telling anyone who would listen that Obama was practically guaranteed to win re-election, and I'm hardly alone in my assessment. Sure, part of it was that I knew, as an Obama supporter, that his campaign was obviously running a superior ground game. Like many Obama supporters, I sometimes received as many as a dozen e-mails a day and at least three letters a week in the mail. They bombarded me with text messages; I received "direct messages" on Twitter from President Obama and Vice President Biden, encouraging me to cast an early vote (which I did), and on the morning of the election, they sent me a message on Facebook, "2,114 people named Lamar have already voted." With the exception of Lamar Hunt and a few others, I'm fairly certain that 95% of the people named Lamar voted for President Obama. But more importantly, I know that the Obama campaign's direct voter contact made a difference; it made people feel personally invested in and connected to the campaign.
While I may have been anxious and a little nervous on election night, as the returns began pouring in, I never doubted that Obama would win. I sported a "Louisianans for Obama" t-shirt all day, and more than a couple of people asked me if I was begging for abuse. "You're brave to wear that shirt around here." To which I replied, "I'd be brave to wear this shirt in my hometown in Louisiana."
With the exception of the two campaigns for Alexandria Mayor that I worked on, I don't think I've ever been more confident and assured about any election, even after the first debate in Denver. But my confidence actually had way less to do with Obama's ground game and much more to do with what I know about his opposition.
America isn't changing; America has changed. While Republicans and the people on Fox News trafficked in coded racism and insane conspiracy theories, while they lied to the public about health care reform, while they promoted bigotry, while they flooded social media with stories about Obama being born in another country and attempted to advance stories about a cover-up in Benghazi, while they lied about Obama taking this country into socialism, while they insulted a man who graduated at the top of his class at Harvard Law and who became the first-ever African-American editor of the Harvard Law Review by suggesting his college transcripts would reveal that he was just another black kid who benefitted from Affirmative Action, while they deluded themselves into believing that Obama was only being supported by people who were merely motivated to ensure they could keep their welfare checks and food stamps, while they fashioned this election as a referendum against the 47%, the real majority of Americans always knew better. We always knew better. We were smarter than these people, the scum of the earth, a culture of white privilege and white entitlement that is far more pernicious and egregious than could ever be produced by any government program.
And as a white guy named White who was born and raised in the Deep South, I've been in close proximity to white entitlement. As a kid, I remember watching Saints games with my extended family and hearing my uncles shout out the "n-word" any time a black player dropped a pass or missed a tackle; they thought they were being funny, and really, they were just demonstrating to me, at a very young age, that they were bigots. Thankfully, after this, my mother and my father would pull me and my siblings aside and remind us that this was wrong and racist and hateful; it embarrassed them. My parents raised me to be tolerant and understanding, and even though my father has been gone for over a decade, I know that if he were alive today, he may have voted for Romney (even though he was a registered Democrat), but he would have still been offended by the racist invectives against Obama. Like my dad, I've never understood why anyone– let alone my own family– thinks their overt racism is clever and funny; it's sad and pathetic.
And no, I don't think Mitt Romney ran a racist campaign, but he certainly didn't run against racism. He belonged to a church that, up until 1978, didn't recognize blacks as full members, a church, by the way, that considers him to be a Bishop. He railed against people who didn't make enough money to pay federal income taxes, while refusing to sufficiently provide his own tax returns; of the two years of returns he provided, we know that he paid less than 14% in taxes, even though, as a multimillionaire, he should have been paying three-times that rate. He got around that obligation by taking advantage of loopholes. And now, after he loses, Republicans want to talk about how this election was about people wanting "free stuff."
Many of my family members and friends voted for Mitt Romney, and while I strongly disagree with their votes, I know that most of them weren't thinking about birtherism or racism or socialism; they just bought Mitt Romney's pitch as the go-to business executive, the turn-around artist, the slick salesman with the Harvard MBA (even though the word "Harvard" was off-limits). But the right-wing media never gave Romney the opportunity to really make that pitch to most voters, and the Romney campaign didn't push back.
Republicans don't deserve to win another election, not until they clean house, not until they learn to celebrate this nation for what it is, and not until they throw out the racists into the trash bin of history.

Great post!November 11, 2012
My sentiments exactly!November 11, 2012
In the years to come, the Romney campaign will be seen as a textbook example of what not to do on any front. At least, by those who want to win and/or be moral.November 11, 2012

You were nervous and anxious but never doubted Obama's reelection? There would be no feeling of angst or worry if there was never any doubt. It seems that you associate the majority of Romney supporters with your racist extended family. I have never seen anyone act like that, not even my very conservative immediate and extended family. I don't really believe you when you say that Romney isn't racist or that he didn't run a racist campaign when you keep making little jabs that insist that he is and did. Throughout this entire article you tend to say one thing and then prove yourself wrong. You are trying to criticize Romney for being Mormon and for something that his church did in 1978. Previously, though, you are saying that America HAS changed. Yes, it has. As well as many other things, such as the Mormon religion. I'm sure you don't appreciate people saying that Barrack Hussein Obama is Muslim, even though he was registered as a Muslim as a child in the schools he attended. Things change, right? I see need for a proofreader here.November 11, 2012
Usually I don't read post on blogs, however I would like to say that this write-up very pressured me to try and do it! Your writing taste has been surprised me. Thank you, very nice article.April 9, 2013
I seldom leave a response, but i did a few searching and wound up here The Post-Mortem Post � CenLamar.
And I actually do have a few questions for you if you don't mind. Is it only me or does it give the impression like a few of the responses look as if they are written by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting at other online sites, I would like to follow anything fresh you have to post. Could you make a list of every one of all your community sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?July 11, 2013

text: Honda return aimed to bring Japanese driver to F1? 25 August, 2013 Kamui Kobayashi Suzuka's Japanese Grand Prix race promoter Hiroshi Soda has played down suggestions Honda's return to Formula 1 will see a Japanese driver on the grid again. It emerged this weekend at Spa that Bernie Ecclestone has inked a new five-year deal to keep the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka until at least 2018. Many insiders made a link between the new race deal and the fact that Suzuka is owned by Honda, the Japanese carmaker that is returning to Formula 1 in 2015 as McLaren's works engine supplier. Another part of the deal, it is rumoured, could be Honda ensuring a Japanese driver is on the 2015 grid. But Soda, president of the Suzuka operator Mobilityland, insists: "That is pure speculation." "The return of Honda is very important for us, but it would be wrong to say that automatically means a Japanese driver will be at the start," he told Speed Week. "Of course though it would help us — in the best of times we had a full house with 160,000 fans," he admitted. "Of course, we will try do have this again. I expect a lot of synergy with Honda." Kamui Kobayashi was the last Japanese driver on the F1 grid, who also happened to be the country's most successful driver to ply his trade at the pinnacle of the sport.

The scoreboard read 7-6(2) 5-7 6-0 6-3 in favour of Ferrer over Adrian Mannarino, but it failed to record the sapping nature of the afternoon against the younger Frenchman.
"It was tough to play in these conditions," said Ferrer, "but it was the same for both players."
Indeed the sight of thousands of spectators continually fanning themselves time and again was the backdrop and foundation of this match, Hisense Area's crowd melting in a match that never quite broke out of a stop-start rhythm throughout.
Mannarino, significantly behind the Spaniard at 71 in the world rankings, was out of the blocks at breakneck speed but the whippet fast Ferrer, fast approaching his 32nd birthday, remorselessly reined him in during the first set before a tie-break that was only ever heading one way and won 7-2 by Ferrer.
Equality resumed for much of the second set, a slight breeze now in the air allowing for more expansive play but the expected tie-break didn't materialise when at 5-6 down, Ferrer failed to cope with a couple of sublime French volleys to lose his serve to love, and the set 7-5.
"I had a bad moment at the end of the second set," admitted Ferrer, "but the last two sets I played good."
The 25-year-old journeyman Mannarino has a patchy record in the majors, a fourth round at Wimbledon last year his best effort to-date and just one victory at Melbourne Park, in 2011 against a teenage Ryan Harrison.
Ferrer will not have been unduly fazed by his opponent but try as he might to grind out a win, Mannarino wouldn't quite go away and invariably raised his game as the bigger points came, a pedestrian and regular 160km serve rising to 196km late in the second set.
But Mannarino couldn't maintain it for long and true to his nickname, Ferrer - 'the Wall', threw it all back and then again. His 1.75m of pure muscle screaming supreme fitness and tenacity as the third set went his way in the blink of an eye 6-0.
You need a big, big game to get past Ferrer and try as he might, Mannarino does not fall into this category.
An early fourth set break empowered the veteran Spaniard who is playing the best tennis of his career and seeking to better his two semifinals here in the past three years. Rafael Nadal may have a weightier game but it's difficult to imagine a more consistent competitor.
Mannarino will testify to this, red in the face and suffering noticeably from the heat in the fourth set, he was forever a notch behind Ferrer who simply played as he had all afternoon, if anything the errors even fewer, the fourth set going his way 6-3 and the match too.
It wasn't an occasion to linger in the memory but for the very top players these early days are all about progressing unscathed. Ferrer may not be thrilled with his performance but he will be satisfied with the result.
