Erin Mulvehill’s photography series of I Can Freeze Time.
to be reborn, 2009, lovingly dedicated to the waters of the gulf of mexico
About Erin Mulvehill:
my work aims to explore the human connections and subtle nuances that whisper into the ear of our every day. much of my work is rooted in the ideas of mind, body, seamlessness and time. this is largely because my deepest beliefs lie in the principles of buddhism, the integration of art and life, and the preservation of beautiful moments. i am nomadic by nature and am inspired each day by the nothingness that resides in all things.
Into The Fog by Mark Rich ›
Whiteness over this village and hill
obscures everything from view until
you are right on it—if in a car
with someplace to go. Having not far
to go, by foot, to a household sale,
we wonder how forecasters could fail
so completely to see this coming,
mute folds draping over everything
so that what we see is never quite
what we know is there, in proper light.
A tree mistily looming, gray stain
against gray stain, lets droplets fall: rain
from white-washed boughs, falling so lightly
it touches our faces just barely
more strongly than the touch of this mist.
We go on, wondering if we missed
the house—then see someone’s furniture
ghostly in a yard. The departure
of the owner is followed by this—
that of her things. No one now will miss
whatever vanishes in whiteness.
To buy things being our morning’s business,
we do—then fight down the urge to roam
deeper into fog. We turn our way home.

![newyorker:
The images of eyes, unblinking and the size of buildings, stared down from the slum on a hill - Rio de Janeiro’s oldest favela, Morro da Providência - and into the heart of the city. They emerged mysteriously, in the summer of 2008, not long after three young men from the community were murdered. The Brazilian Army and a powerful narco-mafia were implicated, and, when the news broke, residents of the favela rioted. For years, they had been living in near total social isolation; taxis did not go up the hill, nor did ambulances, not even the police. Half a dozen buses were destroyed during the riots, but afterward an uneasy calm took hold, and that is when the eyes began to appear.

Romeo and Juliet Act 2, Scene 2, Page 2 - Explained ›
Juliet:
O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love
And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.Romeo:
[Aside] Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?Juliet:
‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy:
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What’s Montague? It is nor hand nor foot,
Nor arm nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O be some other name!
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
and for thy name, which is no part of thee,
Take all myself.[…]
(not knowing ROMEO hears her) Oh, Romeo, Romeo, why do you have to be Romeo? Forget about your father and change your name. Or else, if you won’t change your name, just swear you love me and I’ll stop being a Capulet.

10 Effects of Faster-Than-Light Discovery ›
10. Evolution of the Early Universe

Many other aspects of astronomy could also stand to be affected if the new discovery holds. Some important ideas about the history of the universe, in fact, are based on neutrino measurements and theories.
“Neutrinos are abundant in the early universe and if they behave differently, this affects calculations of the evolution of the early universe, nucleosynthesis and the seeds of structure formation,” astronomer Derek Fox of Pennsylvania State University wrote in an email to LiveScience.
Furthermore, neutrinos are produced in the fusion reactions that power stars, so if these particles behave differently than thought, star models may need to be revised. (Above, an artist’s conception of the history of the cosmos.)
