Traveling to Eastern Europe and Asia, they used the sport as a weapon of war, a tool of diplomacy, and an act of political imagination. When the team played, the flag of the revolutionary movement was raised and its anthem sung, and imagining that Algeria would one day be independent became a little bit easier.”<br/><br/> - <em><strong>Laurent Dubois, <em>Soccer Empire: The World Cup and the Future of France</em></strong> (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thehairdryertreatment.tumblr.com/">thehairdryertreatment</a>)</em>http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/35279099280http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/35279099280Thu, 08 Nov 2012 12:58:29 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbbob0xrWB1qbnugoo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://unicef.tumblr.com/post/32805627100/vintage-unicef-1979-a-group-of-girls-dressed">unicef</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Vintage UNICEF!</strong></p> <p>1979 - A group of girls dressed in their national costumes embrace at the United Nations in New York City.</p> <p>© UNICEF/Shelley Rotner</p> <p><a href="http://www.unicef.org"><a href="http://www.unicef.org">http://www.unicef.org</a></a></p> </blockquote> <p>It’s a real small world. </p>http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/32850795684http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/32850795684Wed, 03 Oct 2012 22:46:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5ymtwCbMl1r9lx2yo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://andsewfortoday.tumblr.com/post/25566646479/day-one-hundred-and-fifty-nine-jaunt-noun-1-a">andsewfortoday</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE<br/><strong>jaunt</strong></p> <p><em>noun</em></p> <p>1. <span>a journey taken for pleasure</span></p> <p><span></span><3 strands on gingham cotton> </p> </blockquote> <p>More of this, post haste! </p>http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/25823028303http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/25823028303Sun, 24 Jun 2012 21:57:15 -0400embroiderysewingginghamjaunt<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/43440790" width="400" height="224" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://samwolson.tumblr.com/post/24455090585/a-short-tribute-to-the-terrifying-dogs-and-their">samwolson</a>:</p> <blockquote> <div class="description_wrapper"> <div class="description " data-expand-tooltip="Click to expand description"> <p class="first">A short tribute to the terrifying dogs, and their terrifying owner, in Johannesburg South Africa</p> </div> </div> </blockquote> <p>Yup. </p>http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/24466898378http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/24466898378Tue, 05 Jun 2012 08:03:25 -0400sam wolsonJohannesburgdogsfences“Big cities have bustling corridors where saying “hello” would be out of place. But there are plenty of places, even within the most densely packed city, which lend themselves to neighborly acknowledgement: an apartment building, an office, a quieter residential street. After all, the feeling of connectedness is one of the benefits of living in a city. Let’s make sure to utilize it. It’s good for us.”<br/><br/> - <em>Why You Should Say ‘<a href="http://www.theatlanticcities.com/neighborhoods/2012/06/why-you-should-say-hello-strangers-street/2141/">Hello</a>’ to Strangers on the Street</em>http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/24261813486http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/24261813486Sat, 02 Jun 2012 10:43:54 -0400the atlanticatlantic citiesthe other eastern marketpublic spacehiwashington dc<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4dp1up3K91r1k07uo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://murrayscheese.tumblr.com/post/23482128029/wisconsincheese-two-year-wisconsin-cheddar">murrayscheese</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://wisconsincheese.tumblr.com/post/23481602502/two-year-wisconsin-cheddar-walnuts-radishes">wisconsincheese</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Two year Wisconsin Cheddar, walnuts, radishes, bourbon.</p> </blockquote> </blockquote>http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/23542258984http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/23542258984Tue, 22 May 2012 09:12:08 -0400cheesebourbonradishes<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m46hugKF9M1qz7wpso1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m46hugKF9M1qz7wpso2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m46hugKF9M1qz7wpso3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thehairdryertreatment.tumblr.com/post/23241554736/holla-via">thehairdryertreatment</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>holla…</p> <p><a href="http://zaatardiva.tumblr.com/">via</a></p> </blockquote>http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/23286427494http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/23286427494Fri, 18 May 2012 07:56:28 -0400irishsicilianlebanesefamily<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1QMUybySaxQ?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>My Grandfather would have turned 91 today.</p> <p>Here’s to things he loved, and things I love because of him.</p>http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/22633882834http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/22633882834Mon, 07 May 2012 23:23:00 -0400GrandfatherVerve RecordsElla Fitzgerald<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PE7c0WYIAJs?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>The Very Best - Yoshua Alikuti</p>http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/21799273638http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/21799273638Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:30:30 -0400the very best<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PC57z-oDPLs?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>First Aid Kit - Emmylou</p>http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/21669414565http://fionaruddy.tumblr.com/post/21669414565Mon, 23 Apr 2012 17:45:15 -0400first aid kitemmylousweden<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1crsfgKO71qbumfpo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://mifarmersmarkets.tumblr.com/post/19792459468/the-february-march-2012-issue-of-the-mifma">mifarmersmarkets</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span>The February/March 2012 issue of the MIFMA e-newsletter is now available online.
