(If you comment "TL:DR" I will passionately hate you. If this is too long to read, skip it, but you don't need to tell me about it.)
"Do you ever thinking of getting into a different job?"
Salem glanced up from his arc welder, a sense of dread creeping in. He
never knew what to expect when Anvil started like this. It could be the
lead up to a painfully stupid pun, or it could be the start of a question
about something mundane that somehow reveals a soul jarring truth about
society. Salem was slowly adjusting to Anvil's strange ability to be
absurd one moment, and frightfully insightful another. It was a fitting
parallel to Anvil being Salem's partner in business and yet quite
possibly also a spy for the enigmatic Green Corp. Anvil was a double sided
coin.
Sighing deeply, Salem finished his cut and turned his welder off. "Like
what?" he said, raising a quizzical eyebrow.
"Something that isn't run by a company who shares name with a villian from
a movie."
"You watch to many ancient vids. Skynet may be almost on par with a
villain from a vid, but that could be said of all the corporations. And
they pay good."
"Other jobs might pay as good."
"I say again, like what?"
"Like-" Anvil grunted, helping Salem lift the large square of metal away
from the roof and drop it off to the side, "Garbage men."
Salem dropped his end of the plate a little too fast. "Garbage men?" he
asked, surprised. He and Anvil stopped for a moment to look around and
make sure no one heard the loud crash of the plate falling.
"Yeah, y'know, a job where people don't notice you, or shoot at you." If
Anvil was making a joke, his face didn't show it.
"Is this still about Tokushima posting a bounty on us? Skynet has made
sure that it won't be a problem." Salem lowered himself through the hole
they had cut in the building's roof. Anvil crouched on the edge beside
him, covering their rear, "No... well, maybe yes. It just seems like we
are working in a very dangerous field."
Salem looked up, wondering if Anvil was serious. "We're being paid to
shoot things and acquire valuable items. Of course it is dangerous. But we
get to shoot things, and buy gear and armor not available to normal people
like garbage men."
Anvil dropped down into the hole, his feet thumping on the metal grating
of the maintenance room they had cut into.
"Okay, fine, so maybe not garbage men... what about being mercs? They
still get to shoot stuff."
They slowly crept down a narrow passage way leading to a discrete door
that would open out into their target room.
"How is that any less dangerous then what we currently do?"
Salem leaned up against the wall beside the door, Anvil took the other
side.
"I don't know, at least they don't get sent in alone, or when they do it
isn't against the odds we get put against," Anvil whispered to Salem,
nodding that he was ready.
"Yeah but if you are a merc..." Salem turned and ferociously kicked open
the door, pausing the conversation to line up shots on the surprised
guards of the room he was entering. Anvil followed right behind him,
taking the other side of the room. Their Greyhound rifles punched neat
holes through the low-grade armor of the armed guards. The room was
spacious, being almost a full two floor tall, decorated in the round edged
cube fashion that currently very popular. Everything was either a clean
pure white, or a vibrant solid color. Accents were a polished black
chrome. It was the typical highrise penthouse of someone with current
tastes. Which struck Salem as strange, as he thought they were supposed to
be raiding a laboratory. However, the guards were all geared in the
appropriate uniforms, with the right badges. This had to be the correct
place, though why someone would do research on experimental wet-drive data
storage in a penthouse instead of a laboratory didn't make much sense.
Shaking his head free of these thoughts, he finished checking the room.
All clear.
"You were saying?" Anvil asked over his shoulder, holding his rifle aimed
down the hall towards the entrance in case anyone else was in the building
and may have heard them. This was supposed to be the only occupied room at
this time of night. The scientists were all at home, main security was
off, just leaving this guard room that separated the rest of the penthouse
from the room that held the prototype that Salem and Anvil were sent to
"acquire."
Salem paused, remembering what he had been in the middle of saying before
the strangeness of the room had distracted him.
"Ah... yes. Mercs don't get the privilege of having morals. If you want
to be a professional merc who gets hired to do anything interesting, you
most likely need to be willing to throw ethics out the window. In our line
of work we do similar jobs, but all that the suits paying us care about is
that we get the package, they don't care how."
"So we can be careful, avoid innocent casualties... or be reckless and
blow everything up. Doesn't matter which?"
"Exactly."
"That is what I was thinking, this is a good job."
Salem shook he head, "Then why did you even ask if you didn't actually
want to change jobs?"
Anvil shrugged and thought for a minute, then grinned, "Oh, there was a
pretty girl working with the company who picks up the garbage from our
apartment block."
"Anvil... I swear, if you weren't so freakishly gifted at this job, I'd
kick you out this penthouse's window this very instant."
Anvil winked, "Probably, but I am, so you won't. Besides, you've said
yourself that life was fairly boring before I came and-"
"Started intentionally making jobs more complicated and dangerous?"
"-made jobs more interesting."
"Yeah, that may be, but that doesn't mean I can't be angry with you at the
moment." Salem gestured to the door that lead to the package, "After you."
Anvil plugged a hacking module into the keypad and turned back to face
Salem with a grin, "You can try."
"I hate you."

Comment exprimer notre émotion à la vue des trois édifices dont le marbre éclatant rayonnait de blancheur sous le ciel que les rafales de la tramontane avaient azuré ?
Sans aucun doute, ces trois merveilles étaient destinées à exalter la puissance de Pise, ses succès militaires et commerciaux.
Mais ils expriment aussi la beauté de la foi et le talent incomparable de ses architectes, artistes et ouvriers.
Tout dans ces constructions relève du symbole – et d’abord le Baptistère, porte d’entrée dans la vie chrétienne, jusqu’au Campo Santo, fin de l’itinéraire terrestre - du rapport entre les nombres, d’un bestiaire subtil. Et même l’astronomie est convoquée : le Campo n’entretient-il pas des liens avec la constellation du Bélier ?
Le Campo dei Miracoli est assurément le complexe architectural le plus réussi.
Thanks everyone for visits, comments and favs

Latin name: Branta sandivensis - Hawaiian Geese or Ne-ne
Taken on our trip to Pensthorpe Nature Reserve in Norfolk.
This is a species of goose endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. The official bird of the state of Hawaiʻi, the nene is exclusively found in the wild on the islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauaʻi, Molokai, and Hawaiʻi.
The Hawaiian name nēnē comes from its soft call. The specific name sandvicensis refers to the Sandwich Islands, an old name for the Hawaiian Islands.
It is thought that the nene evolved from the Canada goose (Branta canadensis), which most likely arrived on the Hawaiian islands about 500,000 years ago, shortly after the island of Hawaiʻi was formed. This ancestor is the progenitor of the nene as well as the prehistoric Giant Hawaiʻi goose and nēnē-nui (Branta hylobadistes). The nēnē-nui was larger than the nene, varied from flightless to flighted depending on the individual, and inhabited the island of Maui. Similar fossil geese found on Oʻahu and Kauaʻi may be of the same species. The Giant Hawaiʻi goose was restricted to the island of Hawaiʻi and measured 1.2 m (3.9 ft) in length with a mass of 8.6 kg (19 lb), making it more than four times larger than the nene. It is believed that the herbivorous Giant Hawaiʻi goose occupied the same ecological niche as the goose-like ducks known as moa-nalo, which were not present on the Big Island. Based on mitochondrial DNA found in fossils, all Hawaiian geese, living and dead, are closely related to the giant Canada goose (B. c. maxima) and dusky Canada goose (B. c. occidentalis).
Did you know: Its strong toes have much reduced webbing, an adaptation to the lava flows on which it breeds.

Whistling Kite - has a nest and mate nearby
Scientific Name: Haliastur sphenurus
Description: The Whistling Kite is a medium-sized raptor (bird of prey) with a shaggy appearance. It has a light brown head and underparts, with pale streaks, and dark sandy-brown wings with paler undersides. The underwings have a characteristic pale 'M' shape when open. The head and body are relatively narrow and the tail is rounded. The wings are long and well-rounded, with a wingspan of 120 cm to 145 cm. The sexes are similar, but the females are larger. Yong birds are slightly darker above, with paler streaking on head and underbody. They are often seen near water or around farms, soaring in a lazy circling flight pattern.
Similar species: Several other raptors may be confused with the Whistling Kite, including the Little Eagle, Hieraaetus morphnoides, other kites and harriers. These can only be separated by factors such as flight silhouette and style and the overall body shape.
Distribution: The Whistling Kite is widespread over mainland Australia but uncommon in Tasmania, and is also found in New Guinea, the Solomons and New Caledonia.
Habitat: The Whistling Kite is found in woodlands, open country and particularly wetlands. It is also common around farmland, vineyards and anywhere where carrion (dead animals) can be found (e.g. abattoirs, rubbish dumps and roadsides). Prefers tall trees for nesting.
Feeding: Whistling Kites soar above the ground, trees and water to search for prey such as carrion (dead animals) and small live animals such as mammals, birds, fish and insects.
Breeding: The Whistling Kite appears to be monogamous, with some breeding pairs remaining in a territory throughout the year and pairs actively defend the area around a nest. The bulky nest platform is built of sticks in a tall tree and may be reused, growing larger over time. Both sexes build the nest and incubate the eggs (the female does most of the incubation however) and may breed two or three times a year. The young stay with the parents after fledging for about six to eight weeks.
Calls: Loud descending whistle: 'teee-ti-ti'.
Minimum Size: 50cm
Maximum Size: 60cm
Average size: 55cm
Average weight: 770g
Breeding season: July to January in south; March to October in north.
Clutch Size: One to three, usually two.
Incubation: 38 days
Nestling Period: 46 days

We had such an amazing weekend in Newcastle in September, we decided to go for another one in November!
Friday night we were back at our facourite Newcastle venue, Rusty's. We had a fantastic night, met lots of people and we met up with Shak (and her date) who we had met in September at the Ladyboys gig! Was lovely to see her again!
We always meet loads of amazing people when we're out on our adventures.

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers. ....from a walk through Oxley Creek Common. Oxley Creek Common is home to a remarkable variety of birds. An experienced observer can find as many as 70 species in one hour of observation during the spring about 10% of all Australia's bird species and several times the diversity one could find walking the suburbs. In the past eleven years over 190 species have been recorded on the Common. (Source: University of Queensland)
Red-backed Fairy-wren
Scientific Name: Malurus melanocephalus
Description: This is the smallest of the fairy-wrens, with the male in breeding plumage inmistakable; glossy black with a scarlet saddle, black bill and shortish tail with a squared tip. Adult non-breeding males and immature birds are very similar to the females which are plain warm-brown with a pinkish-brown bill, though males have a black bill. The tail of the females is longer and more pointed. These wrens have no blue in their plumage at all. They are usually in small family groups with mainly brownish birds.
Similar species: The breeding male is unmistakable. Eclipse (non-breeding) males and females are a warm brown with pale lores and eye-ring and are smaller than the similar Superb Fairy-wren M. cyaneus, which have orange-red lores. The Variegated Fairy-wren is also bigger with a longer tail. These wrens rarely overlap with the similar White-winged Fairy-wren M leucopterus.
Distribution: Red-backed Wrens are endemic (found only there) to north and east Australia.
Habitat: They are found in dense understorey dominated by tall grasses in tropical and sub-tropical areas.
Seasonal movements: Resident and sedentary, and may move locally in the non-breeding season.
Feeding: Red-backed Wrens feed on small insects and arthropods, feeding in small groups among tall grasses and shrubs, sometimes in trees.
Breeding: Little is known about their breeding habits. The small dome-shaped nest is well-hidden and placed close to the ground, often in grass tussocks. The nest is made of grasses, bark strips and spiders web, lined with fine grasses and feathers. The eggs are white, splotched and spotted with red-brown marks. The female mainly incubates and broods the young. Both parents feed the nestlings, sometimes helped by others in the group, and remove the faecal sacs.
This is the smallest of the Fairy-wrens and is sometimes known as the Elfin Wren.
Calls: The call is a weak high-pitched reeling song, soft and unobstrusive, often only heard from quite close.
Minimum Size: 9cm
Maximum Size: 13cm
Average size: 11cm
Average weight: 8g
Breeding season: August to January
Clutch Size: 2-3
Incubation: 12 days
Nestling Period: 11 days

Bonampak means "painted walls" and it is the highly detailed frescoes and drawings, painted on the inside of the walls and roofs of three buildings, which make Bonampak a true delight and major attraction for archaeologists and visitors alike. The frescoes are incredibly well preserved and a highlight of a visit.
This site has been hidden away in the jungle for longer than most: not until 1946 did some American explorers discover the place. A visit to this site requires accompaniment of a guide from the Lacandón Maya on whose property the site is situated.
The buildings you can see today were built under the rule of Governor Chaan Muan II, who took the throne around 770AD. It appears that Bonampak was at times ally and foe to the neighboring city of Yaxchilan and the frescoes inside the three buildings of the Templo de Pinturas (Temple of Paintings) - the first showing the consecration of the Governor's Heir; the second a battle and torture and sacrifice of captives (suggesting victory in the battle) and the third celebration with dances and headdresses predominant along with bloodletting from the tongue - an offering of thanks to the gods. Interpretations vary.
Only three people are allowed into each of the rooms at any one time because perspiration (moisture) affects the paintings in a severe way.
This scene shows: Turtle-carapace players on the left follow rattle players in the procession, with a drummer playing a chest-high drum standing in the middle.
