My wife is riding in the Great Cycle Challenge, which is a benefit for children's cancer research here in the United States. She's wearing her bib from last year in this photo. As part of the promotion, a photo of her and one of the children she is riding in honor or memory of are presented at the Times Square electronic billboard. This is the photo that she will be using for this year. You can learn more about the charity here: greatcyclechallenge.com/
My wife has ridden in the USA Great Cycle Challenge, which benefits children's cancer research, for the last 6 years. Participants have their photographs displayed on NYC's Times Square main screen on August 21st as a way of promoting the ride (a different photo I took at the same time). She will ride her bike in the month of September, attempting to ride 600 miles over the course of the month with a goal to raise $2,500.00 for the cause. www.greatcyclechallenge.com
More practice with glass and light. I would have been happier with these photos if there was a black background, but I still liked the reflections on the table and the centering of the flame/crystals.
My wife is gearing up for her annual charity month of cycling on behalf of the Children's Cancer Research Fund. Her bike has been serviced and her helmet has been adorned with the names of the children in whose honor or memory she will ride.
What is Eid al-Adha?
At the end of the Hajj (annual pilgrimage to Mecca), Muslims throughout the world celebrate the holiday of Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice). In 2010, Eid al-Adha will begin on November 16th, and will last for three days.
During the Hajj, Muslims remember and commemorate the trials and triumphs of the Prophet Ibrahim(Abraham).
"It's a sad day when I have to use my storage room as a make-shift torture chamber. I used to have a torture chamber.....a proper torture chamber. To bad the cops found it. Now I am reduced to this, strapping a young lad down to a lawn chair in a back room full of mildew, mold, and sorrow.Then again, I do have all of my toys here. This location at least allows me to be creative with my procedures."
"Why are you telling me all of this?"
Oh!!! I forgot you were here. You've been so quite, I almost forgot what I was doing, HA HA. It seems I started thinking out loud again. Oh well, let's continue shall we?
"No, please, no more! I don't know where they keep the codes. I'm just an intern. I just got the job last Tuesday!"
"Eh, I'm not buying it............let's try the jumper cables!"
"Oh God please no...no...NO....NOOOOOO!"
*The Joker shocks the young man until he is almost unconscious*
"Now now boy, don't go a sleepin' on me now. You haven't given me I want yet."
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT YOU FUCKING LUNATIC!!!"
"Ooo, full of the vinegar I see. Got a lot of built up aggression do ya? Well, I can fix that."
'Wait, what are you doing? Please, stop, I don't know the codes."
"Calm down boy, I get that point. I've been torturing you for 3 hours now. If you knew them, you would have cracked by now. Unfortunately, that means you are completely useless to me. I'm afraid I must dispose of you."
"Please no, I won't tell anyone, I'll stay quit."
"Ha ha, we both know that is a fat lie, now hold still."
*Joker sprays the man with his toxin*
"There, maybe now you'll cheer up, ha ha."
"What did you do to me? What is happening to m...... Ha Ha... What, why am I...Ha Ha. I CAN'T STOP, HE HE HA HA HA HA, AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Ha ha ha............

"Well, there goes my afternoon. Frank! Gonzo! Get in here and get rid of this space occupier before he starts to smell. Give him the Bud and Lou, they haven't been fed in a while, ha ha."
The State of Kuwait (i/kuːˈweɪt/; Arabic: دولة الكويت, Dawlat al-Kuwayt) is a sovereign Arab nation situated in the north-east of the Arabian Peninsula in Western Asia. It is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the south at Khafji, and Iraq to the north at Basra. It lies on the north-western shore of the Persian Gulf. The name Kuwait is derived from the Arabic "akwat", the plural of "kout", meaning fortress built near water.[5] The Emirate covers an area of 17,820 square kilometers (6,880 sq mi) and has a population of about 3.6 million.[2]
Historically, the region was the site of Characene, a major Parthian port for trade between India and Mesopotamia. The Bani Utbah Tribe were the first permanent Arab settlers in the region and laid the foundation of the modern emirate. By the 19th century, Kuwait came under the influence of the Ottoman Empire, and after World War I, it emerged as an independent sheikhdom under the protection of the British Empire. Kuwait's large oil fields were discovered in the late 1930s.
After Kuwait gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1961, the nation's oil industry saw unprecedented economic growth. In 1990, Kuwait was invaded and annexed by neighboring Iraq. The seven month-long Iraqi occupation came to an end after a direct military intervention by United States-led forces. Around 773 Kuwaiti oil wells were set ablaze by the retreating Iraqi army resulting in a major environmental and economic catastrophe.[6] Kuwait's infrastructure was badly damaged during the war and had to be rebuilt.[7]
