After the World Cup I've been racing through a month of neglected work (thus no time to blog). Big stories in Cell Biology: actin gets arginylated (spell?), mRNA targetted to the ER gets degraded in times of stress, and the major paradigm shift in the Golgi (the biggest two papers this year, IMHO).
OK enough of that ... time for my Friday special:

OK this one will be HARD (very, very, hard). Here is the clue:
Near where the Earth shook, like it never did before or since (as far as we can tell).

Ha! Nice to stumble across a picture from home, while roaming the sci. blogosphere! That's my town, though I'm spending some time in France right now. *Sob*, I miss the beauty and peace of the rivers' city.
