Ancient Artifact

Ancient Greek Statues

I have usually loved ancient art, but especially ancient Greek statues and vases. As an American, living in a time where excess will be the chief aesthetic, it can be inspiring to see an art that revels in proportion rather than extremes. Ancient Greek statues often try to portray themes of beauty inside the body, but they don't do it by overstating every thing. An ancient Greek statue of a man won't be pumped up to enormous proportions. A depiction of a goddess figure won't have ridiculous curves that would be out of place in any location but Los Angeles. They strive to create things look right - lovely in a very simple, human way.

Needless to say, like many people, actual ancient Greek art is out of reach for me. You will discover fewer and fewer ancient Greek statues, and most of them are fragmentary. Quite a few of the originals are worth millions of dollars, and if you even live near Museum with a very good display of Greek ancient statues in it, you may count your self lucky. That does not mean that ancient Greek art is out of reach, nonetheless. You can find collectible figurines, posters, photos, along with other depictions which are offered to everybody. From decorative urns and garden ornaments to museum quality pieces inspired by the original artwork of the ancient Greeks, there's very a bit to choose from.

You've to be careful, however, for the reason that not all of the ancient Greek statues are of the identical top quality. The rule is buyer beware. This does not matter to all collectors. Some people are just searching for something that they find artistically inspiring. If this is you, look wherever your eye is drawn. If an ancient Greek statue replica appeals to you, by all indicates pick it up. For those of us who're additional into historical authenticity, nonetheless, it can be a little harder to pick. My advice is to take a look at as a lot into Greek artwork as you can to obtain a really feel for how it ought to appear. In some cases, it's hard to judge top quality until you've got seen fairly several examples.

Naturally, if you are drawn to ancient artifacts you may look at acquiring something else. Ancient Roman coins, as an example, are excellent collectors items. Quite a few of them are fairly inexpensive, and they let you have a piece of antiquity for yourself. Greatest of all, they can make an excellent conversation starter for those who leave them on the mantelpiece or coffee table where they could be seen.

Sri Lanka is a tropical island in the Indian Ocean has been blessed with a rich biodiversity and landscapes. This teardrop-shaped island overshadowed by its neighbor India mass counterpart, is rich in a multitude of natural resources and is home to some of the friendly people in the whole of Asia. Although Sri Lanka is a small country compared with others in the region, the difference in climatic conditions within of the island are remarkable and is the reason for the wide variety of animals survive in this paradise like conditions. Some fish, insects and even birds that inhabit the jungles of Sri Lanka are native species which include a handful of endangered animals, as they are on the verge of extinction due to loss habitat that is a direct result of the growing human population.

Sea turtles are really an amazing race of creatures. With a lifespan of about 80, these gentle beasts inhabit all oceans of the world except the Arctic. Anyone who has met with an animal show to go through channels Television has witnessed the graceful beauty of a sea turtle gliding effortlessly underwater in search of a meal or to reach the shore. Although this harmless animal has suffered under the cruelty and selfishness of the whole man. For many years fishermen along the west coast of Sri Lanka belt have been used to feed their families with the eggs of sea turtles that are easy to find for those who live by the sea, because the female turtle can only cover their batch of eggs within a few meters sand as the eggs must be incubated at a specific temperature.

Tues Female turtles come ashore during the night security to lay their eggs, they are vulnerable to predators during labor. These surface nesting sites are easy to detect when the fishermen place early in the morning and find Adult sea turtles and beach trails. The fate of the offspring to prevent the hands of human beings have the challenge of a daunting task a few minutes after birth. Once they make their way through the sand that are defenseless and have a long strip of ground to cover before reaching the safety of the sea. This long struggle shaky to reach the water is the time of your life depends. Seagulls and other birds of prey than all this you can eat buffet, while hundreds of baby sea turtles run to save their lives.

In recent years measures have been adopted in Sri Lanka and even global level to ensure the survival of this incredible animal. The Turtle Project plays a key role in ensuring the continuity of this species as an irreplaceable component of nature. Participation as a human predator the life cycle of sea turtles has virtually disappeared as the hunting of sea turtles and collecting sea turtle eggs for financial purposes has been banned by the government of Sri Lanka.

Sir Francis Drake 1540 to 1596 – English Icon

Sir Francis Drake is one of England's greatest icons and is recognised worldwide as a great sailor, navigator and explorer. I thought it would be interesting to write the history of this famous icon from his early cloudy beginnings. The English navigator Sir Francis Drake (1540-1596) was the first Englishman and the second person in the World to circumnavigate the globe. His daring exploits at sea helped to establish England's naval supremacy over Spain.

Francis Drake was the eldest son of a yeoman farmer and was born near Tavistock, Devonshire. His father later became a Calvinist lay preacher and raised his children as staunch Protestants. Young Drake received some education; he learned the rudiments of navigation and seaman-ship early and id sdome sailing near his home. The Drakes were related to the Hawkins family of Plymouth, well-to-do seamen and shipowners. The Hawkins connection got Drake a place on a 1566 slave-trading expedition to the Cape Verde Islands and the Spanish Main.

In 1567 John Hawkins made Drake an officer in a larger slave-trading expedition. Drake ultimately received command of one of Hawkins's ships, the Judith, and accompanied his relative to Africa, Rio de la Hacha, and Santa Marta, where Hawkins disposed of the slaves. The English were caught, however, in the harbor of San Juan de Ulúa by a Spanish fleet that opened fire without warning and destroyed most of their ships. Only Drake's Judith and Hawkins's small vessel escaped to England. Embittered by this, Drake resolved to devote his life to war against Spain.

Elizabeth I of England and Philip II of Spain were not at war then, but grievances were steadily mounting. The Queen declined to offend Philip and would not allow Hawkins to go to sea again immediately, but she had no objections to a voyage by the obscure Drake.

In 1569 Drake had married Mary Newman of Plymouth, but finding domesticity dull. He departed in 1570 for the Spanish Main with a small crew aboard the 25-ton Susan. He hoped to learn how the Spaniards arranged for shipping Peruvian treasure home, and he felt that the ports of Panama City and Nombre de Dios on the Isthmus of Panama were the key. His 1570 voyage was largely one of reconnaissance during which he made friends with the Cimaroons, who were escaped slaves dwelling out of Spanish reach on the Isthmus and stood ready to help him.

During a 1571 expedition he captured Nombre de Dios with Cimaroon help but lost it immediately when, wounded, he had to be carried to safety. After depredations off Cartagena, he intercepted a Spanish gold train near Nombre de Dios and returned to England with the bounty.

His arrival embarrassed the Queen, who still hoped for peace with Spain, and Drake evidently received a broad hint to leave the country temporarily. He is known to have served in Ireland with the Earl of Essex, who was trying to crush a rebellion in Ulster.

By 1576 relations with Spain had worsened, and Drake returned to England, where a new expedition was being planned in which Elizabeth had a financial share. Drake's main instructions were to sail through the Straits of Magellan and probe for the shores of Terra Australis Incognita, the great southern continent that many thought began with Tierra del Fuego. Drake received five ships, the largest being the Pelican (later named the Golden Hind), and a crew of about 160.

The fleet left Plymouth in December 1577 for the southern Atlantic, stopping at Port San Julián for the Southern Hemisphere winter. Ferdinand Magellan had once crushed a mutiny there, and Drake did the same. He tried and executed Thomas Doughty, an autocratic member of the expedition, who had intrigued against him in an attempt to forment a rebellion.

When Drake passed through the strait and entered the Pacific, only the Golden Hind remained; the other ships had been lost or had parted company. Contrary winds forced him southward and he perhaps sighted Cape Horn; in any event, he realized that the two oceans came together and that Terra Australis would not be found there. He traveled along the coasts of Chile and Peru, capturing and destroying Spanish ships but sparing Spanish lives.

Between Callao and Panama Drake took an unarmed treasure ship, bearing gold, emeralds, and all the silver the Golden Hind could carry. Knowing that Spaniards would try to waylay him in the strait, Drake bypassed Panama and, near Guatalco, Nicaragua, captured charts and directions to guide him across the Pacific. Perhaps seeking the Strait of Anian he sailed nearly 48 degrees north, and then descended to a point at or near Drake's Bay, in California, where he made friends with the Indians and overhauled the ship. He left a brass plate naming the country Nova Albion and claiming it for Elizabeth. (In 1936 a plate fitting the description was found near Drake's Bay.)

Drake then crossed the Pacific to the Moluccas and near there almost came to grief when the ship struck a reef. Skilled handling freed it, and his circumnavigation of the globe continued via the Indian Ocean and the Cape of Good Hope. Drake arrived in Plymouth in 1580, acclaimed by the public and his monarch. In April 1581 he was knighted on the deck of the Golden Hind.

Drake did not immediately go to sea again and in 1581 became mayor of Plymouth. After his wife died, he married a young aristocrat Elizabeth Sydenham. Drake, now a wealthy man, made the bride a substantial settlement. He had no children by either wife.

By 1585 Queen Elizabeth, after new provocations by Philip, felt ready to unleash Drake again. A large fleet was outfitted, including two of her own vessels. Drake, aboard his command ship, the Elizabeth Bonaventure, had instructions to release English vessels impounded by Philip, though Elizabeth certainly knew he would exceed orders.

Drake fulfilled the Queen's expectations. He sacked Vigo in Spanish Galicia and then sailed to Santo Domingo and Cartagena, capturing and holding both for ransom. He would have tried to cross the Isthmus and take Panama, a project he had cherished for years, but an epidemic so reduced his crews that he abandoned the idea. On the way to England he destroyed the Spanish settlement at St. Augustine, in Florida, and farther north, took home the last remaining settlers at Sir Walter Raleigh's unfortunate North Carolina colony.

The expedition, which reached Portsmouth in July 1586, had acquired little treasure but had inflicted great physical and moral damage on Spain, enormously raising English prestige in the bargain. Formal war was now inevitable, and Philip started plans to invade England. In February 1587 the Queen beheaded Mary of Scotland who had been connected with plots to dethrone or murder Elizabeth, to the outrage of Catholic Europe and many English Catholics. Philip began assembling his Armada in Portugal, which had been in his possession since 1580.

Elizabeth appointed Lord Charles Howard of Effingham commander of her fleet and gave Drake, Hawkins, and Martin Frobisher immediately subordinate posts. Drake advocated a strong preventive blow at Philip's unprepared Armada and received permission to strike. In April 1587 he recklessly sailed into Cadiz and destroyed or captured 37 enemy ships. He then occupied the Portuguese town of Sagres for a time and finally, in the Azores, seized a large Portuguese carrack bound homeward from Goa with a rich cargo.

The Cadiz raid damaged but did not cripple the Armada, which, under Alonso de Guzmán, Duke of Medina Sidonia sailed in May 1588. It was alleged that Lord Howard was a figurehead and that the "sea dogs" Drake, Hawkins, and Frobisher won the victory in the July encounters. Recent evidence refutes this and shows Howard to have been in effective command. Drake took a conspicuous part in the channel fighting and captured a galleon, but he does not seem to have distinguished himself above other English commanders.

The Armada was defeated, and Drake's career thereafter proved anticlimactic. He met with his first formidable defeat in 1589, when he commanded the naval expedition sent to take Lisbon. He seemed to have lost some of his old daring, and his cautious refusal to ascend the Tagus River for a naval bombardment partly accounted for the failure. Drake did not go to sea again for 5 years. He concerned himself mainly with Plymouth matters. He sat in Parliament, but nothing of note marked his presence there.

In 1595 Queen Elizabeth thought she saw a chance of ending the war victoriously by cutting off the Spanish treasure supply from the Isthmus of Panama. For this she selected Hawkins, then 63, and Drake, in his 50s. The cautious Hawkins and the impetuous Drake could never work well together, and the Queen further complicated the situation by giving them equal authority; in effect, each commanded his own fleet. The Queen's order that they must be back in 6 months scarcely allowed time to capture Panama, and when they learned of a crippled Spanish treasure ship in San Juan, Puerto Rico, they decided to go there. Through Drake's insistence on first going to the Canary Islands, their destination was revealed, and the Spaniards sent word ahead to Puerto Rico. Hawkins died as they reached the island, leaving Drake in sole command. The Spaniards had strengthened their San Juan defenses, and Drake failed to capture the city.

Ignoring the Queen's 6-month time limit, the aging Drake, still trying to repeat his earlier successes, made for the Isthmus to capture Nombre de Dios and then Panama. He easily took the former, not knowing that it had been superseded by Puerto Bello as the Caribbean terminus of the Plate fleets. His landing party, which soon realized it was following a path long out of use, was ambushed by Spaniards and forced to retreat.

Drake knew the expedition was a failure; he cruised aimlessly to Honduras and back and then fell ill of fever and dysentery. He died off Puerto Bello on Jan. 28th 1596, and was buried at sea. Sir Thomas Baskerville his second in command, took the expedition back home to England.

The English navigator Sir Francis Drake (1540-1596) was the first Englishman and the second person in the World to circumnavigate the globe. His daring exploits at sea helped to establish England's naval supremacy over Spain.

4 Movie Marathon: Family Comedy Collection - Dudley Do-Right / Sgt. Bilko / Cop And A Half / Ed (Widescreen) $7.5 Collection includes "Dudley Do-Right", "Sgt. Bilko", "Cop and a Half" and "Ed". "Dudley Do-Right" follows the hilarious exploits of the dedicated but hapless young Mountie (Brendan Fraser), as he struggles to outwit the evil Snidely Whiplash (Alfred Molina). Snidely has devised the scam of the century setting off the biggest gold rush since the Klondike. Prospector Kim J. Darling (Eric Idle) is an unsuspecting oaf who joins the millionaire wannabes streaming into the town that has since been named Whiplash City. "Sgt. Bilko": Steve Martin is the inexplicable, the incorrigible, the invincible Sgt. Ernie Bilko, leader of a ragtag group of the sorriest soldiers ever to enlist in the armed forces. Instead of training his troops for battle, he passes on his legacy of gambling and shunning responsibility. Times get tough however, when the base is threatened with a shutdown, and a by-the-book adversary, Major Thorn (Phil Hartman), is intent on taking Bilko's reputation down with it. Now, all bets are on Bilko to drum up his biggest scheme yet to save Fort Baxter... and clear his name! "Cop and a Half": Meet the Tampa Police Department's newest recruit: He's fearless. He's relentless. He's... eight years old! Young Devon Butler is obsessed with being a cop. Whether he's memorizing lingo from "Miami Vice" or tailing "suspects" on the playground, this kid knows all the moves. And when Devon witnesses a murder, he's eager to share what he knows with the police - for a price. "Ed": Pitcher Jack "Deuce" Cooper (Matt LeBlanc) is in a major bind when he makes it to the minor leagues and gets stage fright on the mound. Back on the farm, he's dynamite; in front of a crowd, he chokes. But good luck swings to the rescue when a hairy hero steps up to the plate.<br><br> Subtitles: English SDH.

Hand Inscribed Jewelry – Words of Gold Etched for Eternity!

If you like poetry and would like to immortalize your favorite lines on everlasting precious metal, hand inscribed jewelry is what you need to consider. Let master jewelry designers such as Jeanine Payer help transform your favorite poetry into an exquisite piece of jewelry.

Does the prospect of getting to ‘wear’ poetry on your body thrill you? How about having Ralph Waldo Emerson wrapped around your arms? Or Lau Tzu around your fingers? What if you could keep a few golden lines by Walt Whitman close to your heart?

With Jeanine Payer’s exclusive range of hand inscribed jewelry, you can. Bracelets, rings, earrings and necklaces – each meticulously crafted from precious metals with words of gold etched on them for eternal enjoyment. Poetry hand-engraved onto precious metals is how this San Francisco-based jewelry designer creates her collections of emotionally engaging yet subtle hand inscribed jewelry. Take the Alene bracelet, for example. A brushed, sterling silver cuff accented with an 18k high polish gold face plate featuring a hand-textured look on both the interior and exterior surfaces. The hand engraving that appears along the 18k gold plate bears Emerson’s immortal lines, “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”

Jeanine's simplicity and originality are evident in her pendants, bracelets and earrings, executed in sterling silver and 18 karat gold, all hand inscribed with poetry in a miniature scale and made to be treasured for years to come. Some of her popular creations bear such pearls of wisdom as "The soul is here for its own joy"; "The journey is the reward"; and "Everything is waiting for you".

There are few things as intimate as wearing poetry against your skin, as many of her clients can acclaim. Her international following includes Jessica Lange, Susan Sarandon, Mick Jagger and Johnny Depp. Payer has also worked closely to design custom pieces for Meg Ryan, Seal, Sheryl Crow and Debra Missing.

Growing up in Southern California, Payer was surrounded by an artistic family who encouraged her to pursue creative expression in all its forms, whether it was keeping journals or studying sculpture and drawing. "I believe in pieces having a wonder about them. I like making things that are at once both powerful and private," says Payer.

One of Payer's first creations was designed as a gift: a tiny book engraved with a beloved poem by Rainer Maria Rilke that only the wearer knew was there. Today, Payer's designs continue to be graced with the words of both contemporary and ancient voices such as Emily Dickinson, Rumi, Lao Tzu, Jane Hirshfield, and Ovid. "Each person brings their own particular meaning to the jewelry, therefore each piece becomes highly endowed," says the designer. "These pieces become talismanic as they are chosen to mark emotional and philosophical moments in each person's life."

Payer and her highly-skilled team of fifteen metalsmiths craft these collections a year in a bustling atelier in the historic Phelan Building – San Francisco's original jewelry center. The jewelry is on display in her retail store, located just a few floors below the workshop, as well as in over 250 Specialty Stores worldwide including Fred Segal in Los Angeles, Barney New York and Japan.

Jeanine Payer’s hand inscribed jewelry is simply hypnotic in their beauty. Feast your eyes on some of her beautiful creations at her website.

Complete Poems $3.13 Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) is internationally renowned as a pioneering master of the macabre. He is regarded as one of the world's great short story writers as well as a great lyric poet, and is credited with inventing the detective story and the modern gothic horror tale. He has been an important influence on many major American and European writers including William Faulkner, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Baudelaire, H.P. Lovecraft, and William Butler Yeats, among many others.Poe's poetry, which is collected in this volume, is more personal than his prose. The themes of love, death, and despair which recur throughout reflect the anguish he suffered in his own troubled life. Annabel Lee is a haunting lament to his young wife, Virginia, who died of tuberculosis. The Bells is an eerie and melancholy meditation which recreates with brilliant musical language the hypnotic, funereal aura of ringing bells. The Raven is a comic tour de force in which the protagonist turns his strange visitor into a symbol of his own sorrow and loss. Poe's best poems remain some of the most popular and technically accomplished in the English language.This book features a deluxe cover, ribbon marker, top stain, and decorative endpaper with a name plate.

Dying for a Blue Plate Special $110.23 New Jersey expatriate Jewel Feynmann finds herself up to her kugel in aggro when her fledgling business, Blue Plate Catering, does dinner for Commencement Bay University, aka Zoo U. Keeping dreamy employee Del Troutman and runaway student waiters in line is hard enough. Then Zoo U Dean Matthew Mulcahy dies of poison at Blue Plate's dinner while hundreds of poorly dressed academics watch in horror. Chocolate-eyed homicide detective Ben Hartsock works the case in a quiet, capable, good-looking way-damn good-looking, not that Jewel cares-but too methodically for her East coast taste. Everyone from the Brown and Hailey candy factory to the Museum of Glass will think Blue Plate killed Mulcahy unless Jewel finds out who did. And yesterday. Jewel dives in among the college people, including foul-mouthed playwright Leo Wallinsky; puppy-like Ace Birney, fraternity boy; and watchful Helena Moore, in charge of student grievances and a lot more. Del pitches in. Together, they find out enough about Mulcahy and his women students to gag a mule. Ben's-no, Detective Hartsock's-official investigation gets close enough to lift Jewel's pulse to code red. Surely it's unethical for a cop to have sex with a suspect? When Jewel's e-mail box fills with death threats and Courtney Mitznick cancels her son's Bar Mitzvah buffet supper, Jewel really gets mad. Hair flying, she finally finds the answer with the murderer in Blue Plate's deserted kitchen, late at night. Maybe too late. Beth Kalikoff grew up in New Jersey and Connecticut. Her poetry and nonfiction have won national awards. Currently, she teaches writing at the University of Washington's Tacoma campus.
