Forget-me-not Tags: plant   flower   macro   nature   natuur   forgetmenot   bloemen   vergissmeinnicht   myosotis   boraginaceae   vergeetmijnietje   rickbart   unutmabeni   thebestofday   gününeniyisi   rickvink    Vergeet-mij-nietje Myosotis ( from the Greek: "mouse's ear", after the leaf) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae that are commonly called Forget-me-nots. Its common name was calqued from the French, "ne m'oubliez pas" and first used in English in c.1532. Similar names and variations are found in many languages. In a German legend, God named all the plants when a tiny unnamed one cried out, "Forget-me-not, O Lord!" God replied, "That shall be your name."[2] In another legend, the little flower cried out, "Forget-me-not!" as Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden. The Christ Child was sitting on Mary's lap one day and said that he wished that future generations could see her eyes. He touched her eyes and then waved his hand over the ground and blue forget-me-nots appeared, hence the name forget-me-not.[citation needed] Henry IV adopted the flower as his symbol during his exile in 1398, and retained the symbol upon his return to England the following year. In the 15th century Germany, it was supposed that the wearers of the flower would not be forgotten by their lovers. Legend has it that in medieval times, a knight and his lady were walking along the side of a river. He picked a posy of flowers, but because of the weight of his armour he fell into the river. As he was drowning he threw the posy to his loved one and shouted "Forget-me-not". This is a flower connected with romance and tragic fate. It was often worn by ladies as a sign of faithfulness and enduring love. Most people use these in weddings for love.

I am getting tired of chain grime-stained pant cuffs (even when wearing an ankle band). I was concerned that the tightly spaced TA crankset would leave little room for error (my concern proved valid!). VO was nice enough to send me a set of draw bolts and clamps to attach it. I'm of mixed opinion on the appearance: I like the chain guard itself, but I think the attachment hardware is clunky and disrupts the flowing lines. The French bikes that used this type of guard usually had the posts brazed directly to the down tube and seat tube, avoiding the clamps. I'm also not 100% confident the clamps will hold the guard in perfect alignment over time. I will have to wait and see. Opinions? Keep it? Or nix it?

Yes, I said it was a french cake so you are probly thinking "it must have a boat load of butter in it" and you would be correct. Enough to choke a horse with. That yummy goodness around the strawberries is called "mousseline" (vanilla flavored). Its basically pastry cream (custard) that you add butter to when its warm then after its cooled down you whip it in the mixer and add more butter to it. You make this in a cake ring / mold. You start out with a thin layer of Genoise (sponge cake) then add the strawberry halfs around the edge then pipe a thin layer of mousseline, then a layer of choped up strawberries, then another layer of Genoise, then another layer of mousseline. This goes back into the fridge to set up. When thats hard you bring it out and add the very top layer. We did one with a Marzipan top and the other (this one) we did a buttercream top ( yep more butter), I pan roasted some almond slivers, added them around the edge, then dusted them with powdered sugar and sprinkled some metalic pearls with a fanned strawberry. I used the back of a plastic fork to get the wavey lines in the butter cream.

So I suppose it's not altogether surprising that when they finally achieved a great one (at the hands of a Corsican, but they still count right?) that it was decided to built one giant honkin' monument to denote it. And indeed, the Arc de Triomphe does not disappoint. It's massive in a way that pictures don't fully do justice. Inspired by the Roman Triumphal Arch's of Antiquity (the Arc of Titus being the template for this one) it was commissioned in 1806, although not finished until 30 years later. Since then it has served as a wonderful photo op for invading armies.

Armies became reliant upon railroads for supplies, and during World War I, men and supplies flowed to the trenches in railroad cars. A familiar sight to American "Doughboys" was the French "forty and eight" railroad cars, which carried them to the front. These cars received their names because they could carry 40 men or eight horses, as was clearly painted on each boxcar. During World War II, the little-changed "forty and eight" boxcars still transported supplies and troops to the front, but they also returned to Germany with new cargoes. Many Allied prisoners of war rode to German POW camps in these boxcars -- sometimes with as many as 90 men forced into each boxcar. Millions of Holocaust victims were herded into similar boxcars on their way to concentration camps. Boxcars such as the one on display carried 168 Allied POWs from Paris to the Buchenwald concentration camp in August 1944. Many POWs endured harsh conditions during their trips to POW camps, which sometimes included attacks from Allied aircraft. Constructed in France in 1943, this "forty and eight" railroad car operated in occupied France during WWII, and it most likely transported human cargoes from France to Germany. Withdrawn from service in the 1980s, the French Railroad Company (SNCF) used this railcar to store equipment at a railroad maintenance facility in Dijon, France. SNCF personnel painstakingly restored it to a near-original condition in honor of those American POWs transferred by "forty and eights." Assisted by the French military, the U.S. Air Force airlifted the 13-ton railcar from Istres Air Base, France, to the museum in late July 2001.

It was most famously used during the Battle of Verdun in World War I by French General Robert Nivelle (although some have attributed it to his commander, Philippe Pétain). It appears on propaganda posters, such as that by Maurice Neumont after the Second Battle of the Marne, which was later adopted on uniform badges by units manning the Maginot Line. Later during the war, it also was used by Romanian soldiers during the Battle of Mărăşeşti. It was also used during the Spanish Civil War, this time at the Siege of Madrid by Dolores Ibárruri Gómez, a member of the Communist Party of Spain, in her famous "No Pasarán" speech on 18 July 1936. The leader of the nationalist forces, Francisco Franco upon gaining Madrid, responded to this slogan with "Hemos pasado" ("We have passed").

Just then, K looked up, on top of the fridge. "What's that?" "That, my dear, is a bottle of red French wine left here amongst Jenni's portions of "leave-behinds". Most likely a gift for someone here in NY." "That sure looks like our Thanksgiving day wine." "It suuuuure does." We are thankful for Jenni's leftovers. The wine was perfect.

The vans seat about 10 people in close quarters and vary considerably in internal decor, driver skill and other ways. Route 380 runs between the gates of Star City and the Shelkovskoe metro station, with some other stops along the way. It costs 50 rubles (about $2); you hand the cash directly to the driver, or another passenger will pass it along for you. The trip takes from half an hour to two hours depending on traffic, and you usually get to hear some pretty interesting conversations - mostly one-sided ones, on cell phones. This particular morning, a Saturday around 8 am, I had just discovered the cafeteria was closed on weekends, so I was heading into Moscow for breakfast and a swim. The parked marche-routka was empty, so I looked around for a driver and spotted someone. "Are you the driver?" I asked politely. The guy shrugged and said (loose translation): "Lady, look at me! I'm standing here, drinking a beer. Do I look like the driver?" Well, no, I hadn't actually noticed the beer, and in Russia that doesn't seem to be much of a disqualification anyway. But perhaps it is. On my very first trip to Russia, back in 1989, I took a private taxi and struck up a conversation with the driver. professional taxis at the time were quite rare; mostly, people just hitch-hiked and negotiated fares one on one. But this guy drove professionally and shared his car with a colleague: "One day he drinks and I drive," the driver told me. "And the next day it's other way around."

The "French" were any pirates, privateers or navies: Dutch, Arab, English, French... In the Faroes, safe houses were built in the mountains to hide in during pirate attacks. Quite recently, Tórshavn was sacked less than 200 years ago. The boulders to the right block the view from the sea. I would not have been a popular man if I fired my flash up here in those days. A good spring nearby supplies water. But I guess they only had cold food - smoke would be too dangerous. L-channel adjusted with a mask from the same shot without flash. The built-in flash was not nearly strong enough, and that was probably a good thing.

It is often counted among the German rivals of Versailles. While Sanssouci is in the more intimate Rococo style and is far smaller than its French Baroque counterpart, it is notable for the numerous temples and follies in Sanssouci Park. (Source: Wikipedia) Schloss Sanssouci (frz. sans souci = ohne Sorge) liegt im östlichen Teil des gleichnamigen Parks und ist eines der bekanntesten Hohenzollernschlösser der brandenburgischen Landeshauptstadt Potsdam. Nach eigenen Skizzen ließ der preußische König Friedrich der Große in den Jahren 1745–1747 ein kleines Sommerschloss im Stil des Rokoko errichten. Mit der Planung beauftragte er den Architekten Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff.
