I LOVE the kitty's bell and the little boy's bandanna hanging out of his back pocket!

During the winter, honey bees consume honey to generate heat. Carbon dioxide gas and water vapor result from metabolizing honey. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air and it settles to the bottom of the hive and flows out the bottom entrance. The warm moist air rises from the cluster hitting the cold inner cover causing condensation. This condensation drips down upon the bees as ice-cold water. The dripping water can have a negative effect upon the delicate exchange of food and warmth. Proper ventilation of the hive is necessary to keep the colony dry. Top entrances allow water vapor to escape and provide the bees a second exit. #savethebees #beekeeping #beekeeperlife #beekeepers #apricutores #apiary #backyardbeekeeping #beehive #honeybees #bienenvolk #imkerin #imkerei #idahome #thisisboise #damniloveboise #iamboise
Tormod and his nephew Uilleam had gone to the meadow to dig the mid-season potatoes. It wasn’t the best crop they had grown, but young Uilleam seemed to be enjoying the opportunity to be playing in the fresh dirt.
This is from North Princeton Developmental Center...I wanted to see the smoke effect with tone mapping, so I found a shovel and posed.
Looks like the end of the road for the railway track in the docks. It's been disconnected from the mainline for ages, and didn't go past Dance East. But it looks like even this tiny remnant is now going.
Although am aiming to do 'no dig' on the site, with a heady mix of compacted soil and zillions of deep rooted docks and other delights, have resorted to clearing the soil fully first before the mulch of manure.
Inveneo is proud to be an implementing partner with Creative Associates in the Tanzania 21st Century Basic Education Program (Tz21) where our role is to lead the technology intervention design and deployment with Kicheko Ltd, our Inveneo Certified ICT Partner (ICIP) in Tanzania. Together, Inveneo and Kicheko have been instrumental in introducing sustainable technology solutions that are relevant to rural Tanzanian schools that often lack electrical power and ICT skilled staff.
Recently we passed a major milestone in the program - the deployment of information and communication technologies to 5 pilot schools.
Dr. H.E. Kavishe of Kicheko, Wayan Vota and Jen Overgaag of Inveneo, assisted by a cadre of Kicheko technicians, installed a mix of laptops, desktops, LED projectors and related networking and power equipment at Naliendele, Kambarage, Darajani, and Kisiwandui Primary Schools, and Machakaeni Teacher Center.
The pilot deployment is testing technology configurations and the installation was used to train local engineers on Inveneo installation methodologies in preparation for the major ICT deployment to all schools, scheduled for early 2012.

Met two wonderful guys who were from Blackpool who posed for me seperately and as a couple at Blackpool Pride 2010. This is Douglas, Martin was posted earlier. They can be see here here. They reminded me of a painting called "we two boys clinging together" by David Hockney.
Look into my eyes

Nothing particularly pretty about these shots. There are rhizomes here so tangled I can't get a tool in edgewise, and so densely layered I can't cut through them either. Pick axes are liable to bounce off any piece of the cluster, so my method for ultimate destruction involves undermining the clumps. Rhizomes have roots, and the remnant of what looks like a timber type of bamboo here have root balls that sink like a mass of tentacles deep into the clay soil. When I push portions over I hear ripping sounds.
30 May 2001: Step 2 - we have not got our building license yet, but encouraged by assurances that it is "any day now", we called in Spiros Mavrias and the JCB to dig a hole in the sand for foundations.
Several years ago we purchased a wonderful piece of land in the untouched hills above the city where I was born. Summer days are sooooo hot here and the sun is strong so this year during our visit to Montenegro we decided to try to find water and build a well.
I was surprised to learn that my high school math teacher is also a well-known and successful “water-finder” in the area. He uses the principles of radiesthesia. First he surveyed the lot with the brass dowsing pendulum and then he used two L-shaped brass wire rods. He managed to locate about 7 “water spots" and then marked the strongest one for us to start digging. www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://diviningmind.com/stor...
At that particular spot he estimated that there are 4 water runs that are meeting at depth of 7-7.5m underground. So we started digging.
There was a lot of noise below our bedroom this morning as a large and noisy crew were digging a hole in the road in order to supply natural gas for heating to the house next door.
Our North Asia correspondent Mark Willacy tweeted this photo of the National Hole Digging Championship in Japan.
They're trying to beat the record of just under four metres deep in 30 minutes.
