A lil' bit of rubber cement never hurt a turtle's shell. It will peel right off. Heck, it probably already fell off of it's own accord.
Now if only I could get that tutle shell to stick to my cat...

Hello,
the 2nd picture in this post (the b/w sketch) http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=2084501870&size=o
struck me because the guy's ears look like Mr. Spock's -- just that this is 30 years before. Amazing.
That said: as usual this DRB post was delectable. Thank you very much and please do keep up the good work.

These are all really cool... and I think some of the ideas could really become reality. Of course... we're now into an era of increased interest in public transit (which is good).
The thing is, though, that most cities evolve organically (aside from the roads in the grid-style of North America) and therefore don't usually turn out looking uniform like in the visions. Architects don't even design their buildings to match well with neighboring buildings that are already up!

Another great post by this blog. I love how much original content there is, and their daily link post is always classy and interesting. The gotham-style concept art is amazing, and I can see why it was groundbreaking then. While viewing those pictures, I was reminded of the visual style of the concept art for the "People's Palaces of Socialist Bliss" that I stumbled upon a good while ago - and lo and behold, there it was, a bit further down. Thumbs up!

dms, thank you for your interest - this was a concept in the early 1980s, I don't think it was given any further development... No other info so far.

Most of the sites you describe are Greek and were taken by the Turks - they merely preserved it to have revenue from tourism.

In response to "anonymous" who made the comment that "most of the sites are Greek...": Why can't you just enjoy the beauty of nature and history without delving into politics and silly nationalism?

Well said Omer - re: the anonymoue comment about who a place "belongs to". That's why there are people who will always have a cause for war.
For the rest of those who are intelligent enough to just enjoy the beauty, we're grateful.

During the Athenian Empire, the whole coastline of the Aegean was Greek, but during the Byzantine Empire (Greek empire of the Middle Ages) most of the coast of the Mediterranean was considered Greece. That includes all of Italy, areas of North Africa, all of Turkey including Istanbul the then capital of the empire. So for you to say that Turkey took settlements from the Greeks is inaccurate. The fact is that the whole Mediterranean area is filled with the remnants of many long gone empires. The Turks aren't the only people that have Greek structures in their country, check out Taromina in Italy. You should also research the population exchange between Turkey and Greece in the 1920's. It left awesome ghost towns in (Kayakoy)

That mini tank is a prototype. It's intended to be used for crowd control in the case of riots. The short pipes at the front are smoke grenade launchers, just some off the shelf parts shared with MBT's. The launchers at the sides are teargas guns. I'm not sure about gun mounted at the top, but it looks like a high caliber gun for rubber bullets.

I think that martial arts technique is from Kung Fu, not Aikido. I gather this from the text under the pictures. Aikido is generally a non-violent martial art that redirects an opponent's energy, rather than using strikes such as this.

Jackson,
Doc Edgerton was a master, brilliant inventor, and by all accounts, a warm and generous individual. His name will always be associated with this kind of work. But, in fairness, A. M. Worthington published a book of high-speed photographs of splashes in 1908. The large portion of his work was done in the late 1800's.

High speed photography always fascinated me. The above pictures are a true inspiration.
I constructed a timer for high speed photography that allows me to trigger a flash or or a camera shutter. I was able to capture water drops, popping balloons and shuttering light bulbs without much trouble.
Please check some of my work:

The pig-thing is for fixing an animal (usually cows / pigs) while cutting their hoofs/claws. On the swiss countryside (where I live), the "Klauenschneider" (claw-cutter) is a common profession - a man with a device as on the picture mounted on a trailer moving from farm to farm!

Oh wow!
A Jaguar E-Type
I never tire of reading this blog!
the 7th photo down is actually a clip of Grace Kelly and Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief, 1957.
lawgirl,
Thank you for identifying this movie, I was looking for this info.
I love that picture of the triumph spitfire (mk3?) with the girl in the back and all the guys at the front. I own one and that's pretty much what happens.
Second picture from the top, the bonny lass on the Sunbeam Tiger--Rowrr!
The girl standing next to the pink Volvo was a Playboy Playmate of the Year. The pink Volvo was one of her prizes. The photo appeared in Playboy magazine.
The E-type with the flat tyre... that's Ursula Andress in a scene from the 1965 Elio Petri film "The Tenth Victim."
What the heck is that ugly, boxy thing with the backward-slanting rear window?
Thank you thank you for the photo
of the Volvo 1800ES all in pink.
Great page.
The girl standing next to the pink Pantera was also a Playboy Playmate of the Year. The pink car was one of her prizes. The photo appeared in Playboy magazine.
That ugly boxy thing with the backward-slanted rear window is a 1960s Citroen Ami - I'm quite fond of ugly cars but that one is startling!
I see there's a couple of shots of XKEs from the movie "Diabolik" here.
Wow I counted about seventy pictures , just getting the time for these pictures.
Great blog post, as usual
