In the name of science - Martyr for the cause.
"Sometimes you're the scientist
Sometimes you're the lab rat
Sometimes it all comes together, baby
Sometimes you're going lose it all" — Just me, covering a song by The Dire Straits: The Bug.
"Dissection. The frog and the rat—that arch-martyrs to science—afford the most convenient subject" — Carl Wedl; 'In Rudiments of Pathological Histology'(1855).
"I could eliminate you in many different ways. But I am neither a murderer, nor a criminal. I am a scientist. You will die in the name of science". — Tchitche; Quote from the film Miss Mend.
"I understand that people become used to anything, eventually, no matter how horrifying. I’ve seen how medical students enter the anatomy lab for the first time. Their cadaver’s hands and face are covered with black plastic and the lower body is draped; all they can see is a torso. Still, they are silent and serious, and their cheeks flush pink. Sometimes people faint or vomit.
But a week later you’ll see them chatting and laughing with their lab partners as they wiggle their fingers around the vessels of the heart. A few months later they’ll dissect the face without any hesitation. They’ll prop the head up on blocks for better access and get to work on the forehead and cheeks and neck, complaining about the number of tiny structures they have to memorize, talking about how much they love to use the bone saw. They act like completely different people than the ones who entered the lab only months before.
Strangely, I’ve had the opposite reaction to animal work. In the beginning the difficulty of the procedures absorbed my thoughts, so it didn’t occur to me to react to what I was doing. Now, the tasks seem simple, so I have plenty of time to observe the crucifixion of a mouse, the insertion of a needle into a heart the size of a jellybean, the blood spreading out beneath the small body like dark angel wings.
Now it seems to me no coincidence that the most famous martyr of all time was not hanged or burned at the stake, but crucified." — Alison Christy; 'Sacrifice. When scientists have to kill' www.lablit.com/article/394

This was a significant day for a few different reasons, it was 47270s first proper run out in a few years excluding a test run it did a few months prior to this, also the fact that BR Blue 47s ran double headed in 2017 was great to see, and finally.. I managed to get this photo published in RAIL Magazine and was payed for it.
Place de la République, bent over the windshield of a car to get the reflection and the poster, lol ! Candid, 45mm, full frame.
This is the original shot (no crop). I had plenty of time to compose, so this is the best I could do in terms of framing both the poster and its reflection. However, I wished I could "merge" the two and get rid of the wall completely, but for that, I would have needed another lens, and the ideal format would be a square anyway. Here's the result of the crop. Now the question is: which is "best", and should I crop or not ?!
This is a practical case following up this discussion about street photography and retouching.
Part of "A stroll in Paris"
The male peafowl, or peacock, has long been known for and valued for its brilliant tail feathers. The bright spots on it are known as "eyes", and inspired the Greek myth that Hera placed the hundred eyes of her slain giant Argus on the tail of her favorite bird.
Close-up of a male Indian Peafowl's plumage
Indian Peafowl has iridescent blue-green or green coloured plumage. The so-called "tail" of the peacock, also termed the "train," is not the tail quill feathers but highly elongated upper tail feather coverts. The train feathers have a series of eyes that are best seen when the train is fanned. The actual tail feathers are short and gray-colored and can be seen from behind when a peacock's train is fanned in a courtship display. During the molting season, the males shed their stunning train feathers and reveal the unassuming gray-colored tail which is normally hidden from view beneath the train. Both species have a crest atop the head.
How about another retouch for my - before and after retouching series. Egad, another shot of Bill before the days when lung cancer could kill. Could it be? Is it possible that this was shot on "Minuscule" Beach in Brooklyn, New York, NY?
Boy, old-timey contact printing introduced a load of troubles in old prints. I have not seem this particular defect beforebit it was probably fixing and washing IMHO, but anything is possible. This is Bill at the beach on Long Island after taking an engineering job with Jim St.Clair, Jr. (Jimmy was Head Engineer) at Bell Labs. I am not sure if there are any Coneys on this particular beach but I have seen them above timberline in the Rockies. Smoking is so very glamorous! Especially on a day at the beach. Look the part and strut the beach. At least look the Part!
Someone penciled 1935 in the bottom margin of an earlier beach retouch and this probably was too. Bill was a couple years away from marriage and returned to the Rockies. Here he is in 1935 strutting his stuff at the beach, trying to impress the beach babes. Sheesh. The babes may not want to venture into the fog.
I am still otherwise packed with projects... the days are just packed, Calvin. After I scanned this, I had to immediately do the best edit that I could, even thought it was not much of an original. Frankly, now I have a load of genealogical retouching hanging out in Photoshop. There are two other series awaiting at the time too. I made an extra layer to try to lift and separate the thick shadows.
I usually owe my cousin and his family. I hope he gets a load of attaboys for his series of retouches including a family tintype original that burned my eyes. I have had some mystical retouching projects in the past, however this is another mystery. Now, where the heck was that negative and where was it taken? Editing the shot is just time but I doubt that I can make this better without pure mysticism. I doubt I can improve it much.
For the very first time since it was built 3 years ago, Optare Metrodecker number 1 finally carried passengers in service on August 14th 2017 - and it did so running First York's Silver Line 9 P&R service which just so happens to be the closest main route to my house. This bus was built in 2014 as the first truely Optare-designed double decker in nearly 15 years since the Spectra (The Rapta never really left the starting blocks) and was given the display plate of OP14 ARE, however the plates were never used on the road as the vehicle never carried passengers and was only on road runs to test the concept out. Over this past week the process was undertaken to finally give this it's true registration and it now bears the plates of YJ17 FXX. For several months it had been at Magtech in Rotherham to be fitted with a fully electric powerplant so as to convert this into a Metrodecker EV - the eventual aim is for Optare to offer both electric and diesel versions of this, but to use Optare's modular engine system so that if an operator decided to convert a diesel-engined Metrodecker to electric then the entire powerplant can be slid out on a tray and replaced with ease. To get the system certified has required several months of testing including a few turns around the MIRA testing facility in Bedfordshire, which set back some timescales for its entry onto the demonstration circuit....
The first client to receive this as a demonstrator is First York in order to make preparations for an order of these to run on the Park and Ride network. This was originally due to demo in York during March 2017, then postponed to May, and now the trials have finally started - there are only a few select destinations on the roller blinds though as this is to focus on just a handful of routes. As York is the closest suitable operating area to the Optare factory to test electric buses, a few Optare EV's have been seen on the city streets - the last time it was here it had been on engineers' road tests for three evenings to test if it was working without issue. The bus currently carries no fleetnumbers, though the general assumption is that this will be referred to as 39500 - the x9xxx fleetnumber series is usually allocated to electric and hybrid buses. The vehicle is built to TfL specification complete with McKenna (Mobitech) Smart Blinds, centre doors with powered wheelchair ramp, and is also ready for use with the 'iBus' system used in London; after York has popped the metrodeckers' cherry it will eventually work it's way into use with Go-Ahead in the capital for comparison against a diesel metrodecker they had a while back.
Although I'm not particularly faffed with looking at photos of London buses because they all look too similar due to having more or less the same livery regardless of operator, having a red double decker in York suddenly seems more interesting - and as one aspect of the new Park and Ride contract set by the council will be the livery, perhaps red wouldn't be such a bad idea... Certainly one idea I really wish would be brought forward would be the use of Smartblinds as opposed to LED destination equipment - as the P&R buses operate mainly in daylight hours except in the depths of winter then consideration should be taken as to how well a destination can be read in daylight, and roller blinds can be read much better in bright sunlight than an orange LED display can be; and I'm sure you'll agree from these photos that there is no mistaking this bus being on service 9 due to the massive routenumber.
In this photo the Metrodecker EV is seen entering the Monks cross shopping park - currently seeing a double decker in here is infrequent though this will change with the new P&R contract when route 9 will be fully double-deck operated
I made these cupcakes for my gorgeous Bestie in the world!! She turned 30 today and we all went out for dinner. I really wanted to make her a cake or cupcakes for everyone at the dinner but after talking to Ping the numbers were just getting to big and my hubby said that I shouldn't take it on as it would totally stress me out!! LOL So we (hubby) decide we'd just get her a pressie and leave it at that! Anyhow I was at work today and just felt really stink that I couldn't make her a birthday cake ... anyhow again ... I thought why not just make her a special box of cupcakes just for her!! Oh that totally got me going so I started baking!! I had about 3 hours to bake, make decorations and decorate the cupcakes .... I finished just in time to have a quick shower and take some really bad photos!! So these are very last minute cuppies indeed. To make a long story short... My dearest Pingy LOVED the cupcakes!!! We had a beautiful dinner with family and friends and I just love her to pieces!!!
Happy Birthday Ping Pong!!!

All art is but imitation of nature.-- Seneca (Letters from a Stoic - Letter LXV: On the First Cause)
The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats
On a dull 2nd September 1985, in the period where loco-hauled DMU substitutes were quite common in the North East, 2J27, the 11:55 Newcastle to Sunderland seen at Park Lane, Gateshead was unusually in the hands of 37063, these workings were mainly Class 47 worked.

&&& thank you to of moons, birds, and monsters and kati steiner for the testimonials :D:D<3
PADDY: "Thank you for the delicious birthday cake Daddy! I love it!"
SCOUT: "Thank you Daddy! I think this cake is delicious too! I don't think I'll have a grumbly tummy after eating this cake... at least for a little while!" *Giggles.*
PADDY: "Hullo everyone! Do you know what? Bears have two birthdays. Do you know what else? Today is one of my birthdays! And do you know what else? Today is my Daddy's birthday too! Isn't that a wonderful coincidence! Now Scout and I are not allowed to use the oven for fear of singeing our plush fur, so even though it is his birthday, Daddy has been so kind and has baked me a birthday cake! It is an orange poppyseed cake, so almost a marmalade cake. Grumby tummy Daddy! Grumbly tummy!" * Rubs tummy vigorously. "Isn't Daddy nice to do that just for me? I can't eat that cake all by myself, even with a grumbly tummy, so I am having a birthday party. I have invited Scout and Daddy of course. I've also asked my pug dog Cabbage, his little sister Lettuce and Duckie to come along, and also Chippy the monkey who lives in the front room. I know that everyone who I've asked to come will enjoy the occasion!
If today is your birthday too, I'd like to wish you a very happy birthday full of big little bear hugs and snuffly birthday kisses. Even if it isn't, I'd like to wish you a very happy day full of big little bear hugs and snuffly kisses. Would you like some cake too?"
This beautiful nursery tea set is made by the Shell China company in the 1920s. It features six cups, saucers and plates (not all the set is being used today) as well as a teapot, milk jug and sugar bowl, all gilt and featuring different nursery rhymes including: "The Queen of Hearts", "Sing a Song of Sixpence", "Ride a Cock-Horse to Banbury Cross", "Goosey-Goosey Gander", "There Was a Little Man who had a Little Gun", "Jack and Jill" and "To Market to Market to Buy a Fat Pig". The set was a gift to me from a close friend. The platter on which Paddington's birthday cake sits featuring "Little Red Riding Hood" is from a sister faerie tale pantomime nursery dinner set made by the Shell China Company in the 1930s. Each guest at the tea party also has a tiny doll (bear) sized nursery napkin which is hand embroidered with a donkey motif. There are also doll (bear) sized tea spoons which are sterling silver salt spoons, and the spoon in the "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" sugar bowl is an Eighteenth Century sterling silver mustard spoon. Their dessert spoons are sterling silver coffee spoons made by James Dixon and Sons in London in 1921.
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Travelling all the way from London, Cousin Paddington was caught in transit thanks to the Coronavirus pandemic. After so long here he has decided to stop with us permanently. That makes me happy, as the more I look into his happy, smiling face, the more attached I am becoming to him.
Bogart has travelled all the way from Georgia, via Alabama as a gift to me from a friend. He has lovely Southern manners and seems to be a fun and gentle soul with an inquisitive nature.
Chippy the monkey came to live with me when I was four. His name is derived from his innards, which are broken chips of hazelnut shells. He was made in America some time in the mid Twentieth Century. He features beautiful brown glass eyes, a felt face, hands and feet. He was given to me by one of my Grandfather's friends who worked in a small high street toy shop which sold a mixture of new, vintage and antique toys. Chippy was vintage at the time, and had been well loved prior, so with a few holes, some worn plush and patches, he was too worn to be sold, but my family friend knew that my gentle nature and respect for my toys meant he could find a new home with me for a long time. All these decades later, she was proven right, for he still lives with me; a bit more loved, a bit more worn and with a few more patches. He also has some red chalk marks on his right hand which I remember putting on him by accident when I was six! He wanted to draw a rose on my chalkboard and I helped him do it!
Cabbage is Paddy's Pug Dog. He was a gift to Paddy from a friend who also likes Pugs. He is fiercely loyal to Paddy, Scout, Cousin Paddington and Bogart, but seldom stays around long enough to have his picture taken, as there are always new adventures to sniff out.
Lettuce was a present from my two goddaughters to me to keep Cabbage company. My eldest Goddaughter, Polly, wisely suggested the name Lettuce since we already have Cabbage. She is very soft and sweet natured. She likes cuddles and warm laps a lot and like her older brother Cabbage she likes to sniff out adventures.
Duckie is a recent addition to the family. I saw her when I was at a Sunday market on a stall of homemade knitted and crocheted items. She caught my eye straight away with her happy, smiley face and bright colours. I think she finds life with my bears intriguing and perhaps a little confusing, however she is learning.
Grateful for my iphone. I love how this little phone keeps me connected to everything and everyone; family, friends, FLICKR, all my favorite music. Apps that make my life easier and I who recently come to the conclusion that I cannot live without Instagram or checking in with Foursquare.
And, grateful for all the weather apps I have collected. Yup, all 4 of them and not one of them did I pay attention too! I had to walk four blocks from work to my car today in the pouring down torrential rain....hmmmmm go figure! If I would have just checked one of them I probably would of have known to grab an umbrella. Yup, got 4 of them in the car as well! :)

I was at my Mother-in-law's today with my Husband and we were helping her clear out some old "junk". I found these old paint brushes and a flower pot. I decided to put them togther in a window and photograph them.
One man's junk is another man's treasure.
I hope you enjoy.

For those of you that have seen episode 114..............you will know the inspiration for this photo.
my stock Kayley doll,has had a body transplant,it suited her skin tone so well ! it was a bit of a challenge finding the right skin tone for her...I have also put on some new earrings,also from the Great Eras Barbie,same goes with her necklace....her dress is from a Rapunzel's dress pack ( Barbie Mattel) I think it all suited her nicely ^-^
For those who can not afford to miss.
Designed for use in an urban environment, it is a suppressed caseless .50 caliber single-shot rifle (which can also fire the .50 BMG) that uses a rotating bolt mechanism to load each round. To load a round, the shooter must move the bolt handle up, forward, back, and down, like a bolt-action rifle, but reversed.
It has a bipod built-in to the front of the weapon, and comes equipped with multiple extra features. The main attachment is the S8 Computer Scope, which uses an advanced computer system to show information about distance to target, wind speed, and elevation. It also includes an auto-aim feature, where if the crosshairs/dot are held over a target, and the "Auto-Zero" button is pressed, it will do just that - automatically zero the scope to the target.
Other features include 3 extra round holders on each side of the weapon, a match-grade trigger, and a Barrett M82-style carrying handle.
Comes standard with the scope and round holders, although it can be ordered with iron sights and no round holders.
Credit to:
Camisado - Trigger area and suppressor
Beck - shaded rail
BMTH - shine technique
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's done! It took me about 1 1/2 days.
There are about 135 barrels (3rd column from the left, top barrel) scaled to 5 for the middle part of the suppressor.
Misc.: Average number of tabs open during this build: 8
Now I'm off to go play MW2. (I don't care if I get flamed for it, I think it's a good game.)

I was going for a central composition on this but after putting my back out earlier in the evening I was just happy to get any of the cup in the photo...
217.365.2014/1313 days in a row
A female Miner Bee foraging for pollen.
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F16, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (2x) + a diffused MT-24EX (both flash heads on Kaiser adjustable flash shoes). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
Technique: I'm holding on to the flower with my left index finger and thumb, and resting the lens on that same hand to keep the scene steady. As the bee moves around the flower I rotate the stem to keep it looking at the camera (helps the viewer to connect with the subject and to maximize my chances of getting a usable image). I pay attention to the area that I want to be in focus, and use my peripheral vision to compose the frame. I'm also twisting the camera in my hand, and the flower's stem, so that I can lay the flat area of acceptable focus over as much of the curves in the scene (the bee's head and the flower).
Conditions: Partly cloudy with temps in the 18C range and a light wind. Due to the breeze I was able to grab onto the stem without the bee noticing. Also when the sun went behind the clouds its metabolism would tank, making it easier to get close.
A bloom with buds.
Standing for sweetness and loveliness, innocence and pure love, the white carnation is the historical good luck gift to women.
Cultivated for more than 2,000 years and named "flower of the gods," it was used to create garlands for ancient Greek ceremonies.
Renaissance-era paintings illustrate the tradition of the bride and groom exchanging white carnations at their wedding to signify the vow of faithfulness.
White carnations are still included in weddings because they symbolise pure love and good luck.
The flower also signifies courage, happiness and loyalty.
In many religions, white carnations are also used at funerals.
A white bouquet or casket spray at a funeral service imparts a message of peace and tranquility for the soul of the deceased.
The carnation is also classified as an edible flower. The petals, which have a peppery flavour, have been used to make the French liqueur Chartreuse since the 17th century. They were brought to America by early English settlers and were used to make teas as well as flavourings for preserves, jams and jellies.
Another popular use, still in practice today, is as a salad garnish.
It is the January birth month flower and the 1st wedding anniversary flower.
Scientific name: Dianthus
I wish you all a lovely day and thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)

For iphone snappers who think that their blurry, light-blasted shots of something look terrific, especially when endlessly scrolled while crammed in side-by-side with other photos like sardines in a can, they probably won't care about, or understand, why this is a photograph I'm proud to have made under quite challenging and difficult conditions. For those who care:
First, it's an axiom that the more glass you have to shoot through the more it will degrade your final image, albeit slightly in some cases, but for those of us who care about achieving the best focus and the most sharpness in our images it's an issue. So here I'm shooting with the addition of an old 2X teleconverter I bought on eBay many years ago, adding to the difficulty of focusing and gaining a sharp, clear image.
Second, the moon moves fairly quickly through the skies; find a tree that's close to the moon in your field of vision and watch how quickly the moon moves behind that tree. So to further complicate this shot I'm using an entry-level camera at an ISO of only 100 because I want as little noise as possible in this shot, and coupled to that camera is an old lens I bought off of eBay over a decade ago that is completely manual which is coupled to my teleconverter; the lens does not allow for autofocus or setting an f/stop, so my only means of gaining a correct exposure is to adjust my shutter speed, guessing at an initial setting and bracketing from there. Plus, it's a very "slow" lens; and the moon is moving fast. I could switch to a higher ISO, but then I loose precious detail and gain a lot of unwanted noise.
Third, to further complicate matters, my tripod is broken and doesn't hold the camera as steady as it should, allowing vibrations from the release of the shutter to sometimes blur the exposure.
So with all of these things taken into account I managed to make a pretty damned good shot of the Moon this morning, and I'm proud of both the skill and knowledge that it took to do so, in spite of the lack of first-rate gear.
The effective focal length was 1600mm (800mm lens with a 2X teleconverter).

Happy Memorial Day.
