Since moving to America, Hikaru has been fighting with anxiety, paranoia and PTSD. When he moved in with Ben things started to get much easier but he still had a hard time being alone when Ben was working. Then he received a most wonderful Christmas present. Quentin is certified to be his service dog and travels with him where ever he goes. A very high energy and mischievous dog, he proves to be a worthy distraction for Hikaru.
Photographers note: This was very difficult to get him to hold Quentin like this! XD
Surprised how many obscene vulgar words Birdy knows and uses freely about that man. Certainly not learned from me.
Hair- Magika
Shirt- Boutique
Veggie Burger Skirt- Schadenfreude
Birdy- Khaos
And what’s more I still have all my fingers.
This day, 6th March 1970, the British government announced an indefinite ban on the importation of pets into the country, a dog had died of rabies having successfully completed quarantine.
But everything’s fine now, pets have their own passports, can collect air miles and have access to duty free cigarettes and alcohol.

if you look closely, this tree is growing out of the chasis of this car, go figure, how that happened. how many years it takes for a tree to grow that old? it started with this car being abandoned when this tree was just a plant or perhaps just a seed or who knows it wasn't even there.
A year ago, I took this picture of three Central Connect buses since then the buses and routes themselves have completely changed. YP59OEV has been withdrawn, YX22OGR has a new livery and YX12DHO is now a training bus. The 420 and 420A are now the 20 and 21, The 505 is now the 15 and finally, the 410 is now the 25. The bus station itself has now shut with all buses going to and from a new "temporary" bus station.

How does one skate properly in the middle of this mess???

How curious, the vast deep blue,
With its waves soft as silk, easy as leisure,
Is like the feet of a pearly beauty-
How they can dance, dance like her absent eyes!
Upon aged floor, amid shadowy figures;
Or under limitless sky,
In the flawless rays of sunset.

How fabulous was this evening for all our country, Belgium !!!
We're ready now to go to Brazil :-)
What if there is nothing else for us after all this
I don't care, I don't mind, just as long as we find sometime
Just come back and I'll stay out of the way
An be all the things you need
Another mouth to kiss
How can I give you the answers you need
When all I possess is a melody?
Yeah, how can I take up the air that you breathe
When all I possess is a melody?

Ci sono molte, molte molte cose di questa foto che non vanno ancora... l'ho postata come esperimento (l'ennesimo) con Photoshop. In effetti, più la guardo e più mi convince... soprattutto se dò un'occhiata all'originale :S
Sto passando un momento particolare, la foto da cui deriva era una specie di forma di masochismo... orribile, struccata, appena tornata dalla palestra... insomma, orrida!
Ho cercato di rendere la pelle perfetta, quasi una sfida contro me stessa... ma più modificavo, più si materializzava l'idea in me...
Mi sento un po' fuori luogo ultimamente, un po' come un brutto anatroccolo. Sarà anche colpa della sessione estiva degli esami che incombe?? :S
Ed ecco cosa è uscito fuori.

I posted it only as an experiment with Photoshop :D Nothing more... it's not what you could call an artistic picture.

Tarn Hows is an area of the Lake District National Park, containing a picturesque tarn, approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) northeast of Coniston and about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northwest of Hawkshead. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the area with over half a million visitors per year in the 1970s and is managed by the National Trust.
Tarn Hows is fed at its northern end by a series of valley and basin mires and is drained by Tom Gill which cascades down over several small waterfalls to Glen Mary bridge: named by John Ruskin who felt that Tom Gill required a more picturesque name and so gave the area the title 'Glen Mary'.
The Tarn Hows area originally contained three much smaller tarns, Low Tarn, Middle Tarn and High Tarn.
Wordsworth's Guide Through the District of the Lakes (1835 edition) recommends walkers to come this way but passes the tarns without mention.
Until 1862 much of the Tarn Hows area was part of the open common grazing of Hawkshead parish. The remaining enclosed land and many of the local farms and quarries were owned by the Marshall family of Monk Coniston Hall (known as Waterhead House at the time). James Garth Marshall (1802–1873) who was the Member of Parliament for Leeds (1847–1852) and third son of the industrialist John Marshall, gained full possession of all of the land after an enclosure act of 1862 and embarked on a series of landscape improvements in the area including expanding the spruce, larch and pine plantations around the tarns; demolition of the Water Head Inn at Coniston; and the construction of a dam at Low Tarn that created the larger tarn that is there today.
By 1899 Tarn Hows was already an important beauty spot. H.S. Cowper mentions "Tarn Hows, beloved by skaters in winter and picnic parties in summer. Here comes every day at least one charabanc load of sightseers from Ambleside or Windermere". A wooden boat house that was still standing in the 1950s at the south east corner of the tarn probably dated from this period. In 1913 G.D. Abraham said "Tarn Hows is set wildly among larches and heather slopes, more like a highland lake than the other waters in Lakeland... more suitable for pedestrians than motorists".
In 1930 the Marshall family wanted to sell their 4,000 acres (16 km2) Monk Coniston estate. Beatrix Potter's husband, William Heelis of Sawrey, was solicitor for the Marshall family and so was aware of the possibility early on. One of the farms within the estate had previously been owned by Potter's great grandfather and so Beatrix was interested in buying the estate as a whole rather than allowing it to be sold off piecemeal for tourist development; however, she could not afford the whole £15,000–£18,000 asking price without selling other properties that she wanted to keep. Neither the National Trust nor the Forestry Commission could obtain the whole sum quickly enough and Potter's mother would not lend her the money. Potter wrote that 'Tarn Hows is such a favourite walk that on the face of it you might think it was a case for public subscription; but it would not work. My mother is known to be so wealthy that nobody would subscribe to help me!'
Potter and Heelis negotiated to buy the whole estate for £15,000, relying on the National Trust to be able to appeal to the public to raise enough to buy back 2090 acres from her. During the period when Potter and Heelis owned the whole estate it was successfully managed by the two of them. The National Trust's appeal had raised nearly enough before the summer of 1930 and they bought most of the land from Potter – she donated the last part anonymously. When the Trust took over in September it asked Potter to carry on managing the land on its behalf. Bruce Thompson, the National Trust agent for its properties in the north of England, wrote in The Lake District and the National Trust in 1936 that "The Tarns and its setting were given to the nation by Sir S. H. Scott in 1930 as part of the Trust's general scheme for securing a large part of the Monk Coniston estate. The gift was made in memory of Sir James and Lady Scott." Presumably he donated the funds to the appeal to buy this portion of the estate. The remaining half of the Monk Coniston estate was bequeathed by Potter in her will to the National Trust
Saw this little guy hopping around in the backyard and he allowed me to come right up to him and snap off a few pictures, notice how the grass is almost as tall as him. How cute! I don't think he could have been more than a few days old.
Hopelessly into sun, I had no idea how this would turn out. In the end, it's amazing what you can do in Photoshop. 37667 & 37521 charge towards the crossing at How Mill with the 12.39 Perth - Darlington North Road charter.

How much longer will powerful technology companies operate with limited public oversight? Who is making the rules of the digital age? These are the questions central to Brookings’ Visiting Fellow Tom Wheeler’s new book, “Techlash: Who Makes the Rules in the Digital Gilded Age?“ In “Techlash,” Wheeler compares the present digital age to the last great technology—driven era—the Gilded Age, drawing comparisons between the two that offer solutions to help us navigate the current digital era.
On October 31, Governance Studies at Brookings hosted an event with Tom Wheeler, joined in discussion by Senators Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) and Peter Welch (D-Vt.), who introduced legislation for a new Digital Platform Commission to address the ongoing challenges created by digital platforms. The event was moderated by New York Times’ technology reporter and co-author of “An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook’s Battle for Dominance,” Cecilia Kang.

Ten? A dozen?More?
These are semi-strays. Someone has built several small shelters around this old building and brings food on a regular basis.
I don't know who does it but it is nice that they aren't left on their own.
OPINION read this at the risk of being offended.
I'm not a fan of feral cats as I am aware of how much damage they can do to the local wildlife.
I take all "scientific" studies with a large grain of salt because there is a lot of estimating involved.
According to Peter Marra of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Washington, America’s cats, including housecats that adventure outdoors and feral cats, kill between 1.4 billion and 3.7 billion birds in a year.
This is a rather large range and the numbers can't be proved one way or another.
I don't know if this is accurate but the numbers scare this bird watcher.
There are 20 cats.
