Well, the last day of MAX 2006 in Las Vegas, NV has arrived. For the last few hours that the exhibit floor is open, I'm at the Flex/Apollo booth. Flex is the main product in which I specialize. It's a framework for rich Internet application development (RIA). Flex applications deploy on the Flash Player. Historically, the Flash Player has been limited to the browser. Limited by security, features, storage, delivery and more.
Apollo is a desktop runtime for Flash and HTML, and solves that problem.
I won't bore you with the details, but Apollo isn't actually a shipping product yet. For now "Apollo" is actually just a code name. MAX is the first real chance that Adobe developers have gotten to see first hand what Apollo is all about. The Flex booth and the Apollo booth were back-to-back (understandably), and I got to spend a lot of time answering great questions about both.
Part of the promotion of Apollo involved t-shirts - a lot of t-shirts. A large closet overflowing with t-shirts. By the time the end of the conference came around today however, there were but a few left. The remaining shirts were all women's small. I don't know what small woman would fit in these unless they were a stripper or participating in a wet t-shirt contest (this is Vegas after all). They looked like they would fit Paige great, so I grabbed one!
The service module engine provides added thrust to escape lunar gravity and get the spacecraft headed back to Earth.

After a couple of years of pretty intense Plein Air painting, I am now spending this winter going back to drawing. I'm not picking anything "easy" these casts and sculptures are very challenging to draw from the motif, and very soon one becomes aware of all sorts of problems. Still I will keep at it and hope something from these studies leads into my easel work at some stage.
The Apollo 16 command module Casper is on display at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
Apollo 16 (April 16 – 27, 1972) was the tenth crewed mission in the United States Apollo space program, administered by NASA, and the fifth and next-to-last to land on the Moon. It was the second of Apollo's "J missions", with an extended stay on the lunar surface, a focus on science, and the use of the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV).
The mission was crewed by Commander John Young, Lunar Module Pilot Charles Duke and Command Module Pilot Ken Mattingly. Launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on April 16, 1972, Apollo 16 experienced a number of minor glitches en route to the Moon. These culminated with a problem with the spaceship's main engine that resulted in a six-hour delay in the Moon landing as NASA managers contemplated having the astronauts abort the mission and return to Earth, before deciding the problem could be overcome. Although they permitted the lunar landing, NASA had the astronauts return from the mission one day earlier than planned.

His hand finally through the bloody ALUS,
He will be unable to protect himself by sea,
Between two rivers he will fear the military hand,
The black and angry one will make him repent of it.
As a tribute to Neil Armstrong who died yesterday here is a photograph of a silver tankard that my grandfather made to commemorate the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing. The reflections in the silver are rockets - Titan, Atlas, V2, Ariane, Vanguard, Redstone.
According to Greek myth, Apollo chased the nymph Daphne, daughter either of Peneus and Creusa in Thessaly, or of the river Ladon in Arcadia. The pursuit of a local nymph by an Olympian god, part of the archaic adjustment of religious cult in Greece, was given an arch anecdotal turn in Ovid's Metamorphoses,where the god's infatuation was caused by an arrow from Eros, who wanted to make Apollo pay for making fun of his archery skills and to demonstrate the power of love's arrow. Ovid treats the encounter, Apollo's lapse of majesty, in the mode of elegiac lovers, and expands the pursuit into a series of speeches. According to the rendering Daphne prays for help either to the river god Peneus or to Gaia, and is transformed into a laurel (Laurus nobilis): "a heavy numbness seized her limbs, thin bark closed over her breasts, her hair turned into leaves, her arms into branches, her feet so swift a moment ago stuck fast in slow-growing roots, her face was lost in the canopy. Only her shining beauty was left. The laurel became sacred to Apollo, and crowned the victors at the Pythian Games. Most artistic impressions of the myth focus on the moment of transformation.
While the sculpture may be appreciated from multiple angles, Bernini planned for it to be viewed side on, allowing the observer to see the reactions of Apollo and Daphne simultaneously, thus understanding the narrative of the story in a single instant, without the need to move position

i always feel it's a cliche but view it on black (obvious reasons) for better experience.
Apollo (Attic, Ionic, and Homeric Greek: Ἀπόλλων, Apollōn (gen.: Ἀπόλλωνος); Doric: Ἀπέλλων, Apellōn; Arcadocypriot: Ἀπείλων, Apeilōn; Aeolic: Ἄπλουν, Aploun; Latin: Apollō) is one of the most important and complex of the Olympian deities in ancient Greek and Roman religion, Greco–Roman Neopaganism, and Greek and Roman mythology. The ideal of the kouros (a beardless, athletic youth), Apollo has been variously recognized as a god of light and the sun, truth and prophecy, healing, plague, music, poetry, and more. Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto, and has a twin sister, the chaste huntress Artemis. Apollo is known in Greek-influenced Etruscan mythology as Apulu.
As the patron of Delphi (Pythian Apollo), Apollo was an oracular god—the prophetic deity of the Delphic Oracle. Medicine and healing are associated with Apollo, whether through the god himself or mediated through his son Asclepius, yet Apollo was also seen as a god who could bring ill-health and deadly plague. Amongst the god's custodial charges, Apollo became associated with dominion over colonists, and as the patron defender of herds and flocks. As the leader of the Muses (Apollon Musegetes) and director of their choir, Apollo functioned as the patron god of music and poetry. Hermes created the lyre for him, and the instrument became a common attribute of Apollo. Hymns sung to Apollo were called paeans.
Here is an updated picture of some science fact...a break from all the sci fi. I learned some new techniques in Corel like the foil look on the LEM and that...so I worked them in. This started out as just the LEM, then the CM/SM, then I combined the pics.
While I was in Geneva for the motorshow, I was following along closely on Instagram to see what cars were out and about in Geneva. Luckily I came across a place called 'Carugati Automobiles' and decided I should head there ASAP and I'm so glad I did as I managed to catch the insane Apollo IE just before it left. Insane day wrapped up with a few Pagani's and various other insane cars!

Forget-me-Knot
Confusion reigns in David Tristram’s superb comedy. Is anyone who they say they are?
Production kindly sponsored by Vectis Rotary.
11-13 and 16-19 May 2017 (note changed show dates for this production)
Forget-Me-Knot, by David Tristram, tells the tale of a man who may or may not be Robert Zeinfeld, found wandering and suffering from amnesia. Detective Inspector Monroe is the man charged with working out who this mystery man is, with the help – or rather hindrance – of Mrs Zeinfeld and his own wife Samantha.
Robert is a confused man, not of his own doing – a bump on the head resulting in amnesia and a night in the cells have attributed to that. Inspector Monroe is also a confused man, but he has nobody to blame but himself.
Robert has been found wandering the streets in his confused state. His Filofax knows who he is – but does anybody else? Monroe is on the case – or seems to think he is. More confusion rains down when Robert’s wife is summoned and doesn’t know what’s going on either; but what she does know is that Robert shouldn’t be anywhere near where he was found and probably with a mistress, whom he definitely shouldn’t be anywhere near. When the mistress turns up, utter confusion is unleashed upon the stage. Is Robert who everybody else says he is? Does he really have amnesia? If he doesn’t then what is he doing with a wife like that in the first place? Is anybody actually who they maintain they are?
Forget-Me-Knot has been described as ‘one of the funniest British farces … with superb laugh-out-loud comedy’. We think you’ll agree!
The Apollo 4 unmanned mission lifts off from launch pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center. This would be the first flight for the enormous Saturn V rocket that would eventually take humans to the Moon.

"So-called “Apollo Barberini”. The musician god holds in his left arm the “kithara” and in his right one a cup (the right arm and the left front arm were worked separately). Eyeballs in white stone and lashes in bronze (iris and pupils, lost, were made in colored materials). Probable copy of the cult statue in the temple of Apollo Palatinus in Rome (free reproduction of a work from 4th century BC). 1st–2nd century CE."
