Every October there is the Budapest Marathon. The organizers always advertise with a picture of runners crossing this bridge. I thought it was just as big as the Brooklyn Bridge but is smaller.
So our wifi went dead in our whole county last night, and after a few good Battleship and Guess Who rounds with my sister, I managed to convince both my siblings to participate in a chains to champions game!
It was a blast! Ironically, our gladiators were a close match to our individual personalities, Steven armed a juggernaut with incredible strength and toughness, Julia graced the arena with fluffy boot wings and a massive minotaur axe, and I dashed to the attack with extreme speed.
It was brutal struggle! I was first to go due to my light armor, and then Steven and Julia had a slugfest until Julia used a special ability card that sent Steven flying into the wall! #instakill #girlsrule ;)
Overall it was great game I definitely recommend going and getting one at Brickwarriors.com!

Cons-
Took a good while to play.
A bit more math than prefered.
Can be sorta complicated.
Pros-
It's so interesting and riveting you have to finish the game! (Even past midnight!)
It's more like two games in one!
You're not going to have a dull moment!
Disclaimer- The minifigs were supplied by us, I almost think that was intended for the game?
We might just have to have the wifi go out mysteriously again one night...
Markarian's Chain, named after the Armenian astrophysicist, B. E. Markarian, is a chain of galaxies that is part of the larger Virgo Supercluster. The Local Group, including the Milky Way Galaxy, is part of this same cluster. This image was taken from my home observatory in Gravois Mills, MO

March 5th, 2012, Phoenix AZ, USA : Estrella Jail is home to the male and America's only female chain gang. Inmates stay in there tiny 8x12 foot cells 23 hours of the day during " lock down," unless they are out on assigned chain gang duty, for which they can volunteer.
The chain is locked behind my back so that I won't be able to reach the padlock. That makes sitting quite uncomfortable, but in court, I'll have to stand before the judge anyhow.

Today my cousin took a degree in Physiotherapy (I'm so proud of you, Steve!)
So I was just thinking about the fact that I have 2 more years to graduate in Architecture and actually I don't even know if I would like it to be my job. Actually my present dream is becoming a traveling photographer.
Maybe this will never come true, maybe it will remain a "chained dream". But I don't want it to be like this. I would like to have the courage to break this chain...
Happy Bokeh Wednesday, my Flickr Friends and.... view on Black!
Walk away slowly
You don’t have to take this
In the spaces in between
Sadness on the faces
I could see the chains of love
The chains
Talking about the chains of love
Can’t take us away
Storms are brewing in your heart
I don’t want to waste it
Better to have tried it all
Least we got to taste it

My friend Devon putts with great power and precision. :)
Disc golf is one of the fastest growing sports in the world right now. As golf courses worldwide close down for lack of patronage, disc golf courses are popping up everywhere. While ball golf courses require clear-cut swaths of land, constant watering, fertilizing and maintenance, disc golf course are inexpensive to build, require minimal modifications to the environment, minimal maintenance and can be built almost anywhere. Where golf is often viewed as an elitist activity for it's expensive equipment, fancy golf clubs and wealthy, snooty patrons, disc golf equipment is inexpensive, the courses are by and large free, or nearly free to play, and as many will attest, is equally as fun and challenging as ball golf.

No chains were harmed in the making of this image. Though Devon has a very solid putt, it doesn't usually break chains. To create the broken chain illusion, I isolated the chains from the background, removed the original chains, and then rebuilt them from pieces of the original chains in this configuration. I used a little motion blur on the broken chains. I hand painted in the little swish, just to emphasize that the disc came from Devon's hand.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
A view of a portion of the chain lakes created from north Idaho's Coeur d'Alene river.
Nine lakes are formed along it's length before the river flows into Lake Coeur d'Alene.
Fabulous area for boating, fishing, kayaking, bird watching, etc.
There is also a 72 mile bike trail (Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes) thru the area.
This is the section between Swan and Black Lakes.
Mighty green in the spring. Not bad in the autumn either.
Have a wonderfull Wednesday!
