This Roque Cinchado on the right is at the foot of the Teide, Spain's highest mountain. When I was on Tenerife early January there was a huge queue to take a picture from the exact spot from where the rock is depicted on the old one thousand peseta note, with the summit of the mountain in the background.
I couldn't be bothered to queue and took this shot instead.
How many faces can you spot in the rock?
As an aside, this is about 2500m above sea level and the temperatures on January 4 were 16°C!
this is the most amazing move ever! I have no idea how she does it... i mean, i know how.... i just don't know HOW. truly amazing!

Graphic illustrates two main endpoints of damaged mitochondria in a cell. If detected by the cell’s quality control mechanisms, proteins signal the cell’s disposal system and the mitochondria is degraded. If not detected, the damage can lead to the ejection of mitochondrial DNA fragments that alert the cell’s system for detecting pathogens. These then trigger the inflammation cascade.
Cells have several quality control mechanisms to remove dysfunctional mitochondria. One important mechanism involves the proteins Parkin and PINK1. When a mitochondrion is damaged, PINK1 and Parkin recruit a phagophore, which engulfs the organelle and begins the process of degrading it. When such quality control systems fail, damaged mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can escape from the mitochondria. (How this happens is still an open question, but it may exit via special pores or through ruptures in the mitochondrial membrane). Once released, mtDNA fragments can activate molecules such as cGas-STING or inflammasomes, both of which sense foreign DNA from viruses and other invaders. This, in turn, can increase production of cytokines and cause inflammation.

“How far can your plane go, 1,2,3,4?.. Shout it Loud!!!
Airplane paper flight at WFN Airport, was tested today.
The activity was great to enhance their motor skills and cognitive skills. These skills were put to work during the airplane paper flight.
Date trees, one of the symbols of UAE was planted today in their ‘World Wanderers’ class.
The day began with hopping on numbers, shapes and phonics called out to them. That was a review for what was done during the week.
The ‘Crazy Designers’ had buildings made out of card board papers with some primary colors on their the roof. The activity was to develop their creativity and to have an idea of Primary colors.
The day ended with kids coloring and tracing straight and side lines.
The Children enjoyed hooked pocket dance, matching phonics and popping balloons in search for numbers. That was to learn the number concepts.
Tracing and UAE soveinor craft was mind refreshing.
On the whole, the kids were busy focussing on their necessary skills and has a relaxed learning this week.
Happy Weekend to All…
No rest for the busy artist.
An image showing you a glimpse into how I work. Once the 27 inch screen comes out.. you know I mean business !!
CANNOT WAIT to get this done !!
Flickr user JeremyHall left me a comment on my 'Freezer' photo asking me to post some information on what post-processing I did in his new group, 'How I Did It'... so I am doing just that!
The final photo can be seen here.
I started with three separate images taken with the Canon 40D. I was using Auto Exposure Bracketing, with the camera set to take exposures at -2,0,+2 EV.
(Side note for 40D users! The exposure bracketing on the 40D won't go any further that +-2, but one cool thing that I've found is that you can rotate the control wheel so your middle exposure is set to -2, and your three bracketed shots will actually be -4,-2,0 EV. Scroll the wheel all the way to the other end of the spectrum and you'll have +4, +2, 0 EV... so effectively you've taken five shots between -4 and +4 with two shutter presses!)
So I took those three exposures and used Photoshop to automatically align them. I shot these with a timer on a tripod, so there was no movement between shots... but in cases where there is movement, I find Photoshop does a much better job than Photomatix at aligning the images.
Save that as a tif, open in Photomatix for tonemapping. Really I have found that every photo requires different settings in Photomatix, but all the sliders and options are laid out in plain view so it's very easy to experiment. Recently I've found that I like to 'over-HDR' the image and then selectively scale it back in Photoshop. So the photo labeled 'Photomatix Tonemap' in the image above was really never meant to be seen by anyone other than me :D I dislike that kind of overdone-HDR shot, and if I wasn't planning on doing any other work after tonemapping, I would have set the overall HDR effect much lower. HDR can really help a shot with a wide range of tones, from dark to light... but the downside is all the extreme highlights and shadows are kind of being evened out, which can make things look flat (to me). For example, look at the ceiling in the image labeled 'Photomatix Tonemap' above. The ceiling is nice and detailed, but it also appears that it's getting just as much light as the freezer in the foreground (which you can see is not the case from the original photos). More on this later.
I saved the tonemapped image to another tif, and brought it into Lightroom. There I changed some things which might seem strange. I took the color saturation of the image almost to zero. Then I made large adjustments to the 'Camera Calibration' section to give a cyan cast to the entire image. Then I worked with the 'Split Toning' section to make the shadows a dark blue-purple, and the highlights a yellow-green. I adjusted the tone curve a little bit and saved these adjustments to a preset called 'Decay Cold'.
I applied those presets to the original '0 EV' shot, so I had one blue-green colored tonemapped image (labeled 'Lightroom Adjusted' in the image above) and one blue-green colored original photo (labeled '0 EV Lightroom Adjusted' in the image above).
I brought both of them into Photoshop, placed the HDR shot as the top layer, and added a mask to it. Then I chose a brush with a low hardness setting and started painting over the areas I didn't want such an extreme amount of 'HDR-look'. You can see from the mask that I got rid of a lot of the HDR effect on the front of the freezer, on the ceiling, and on the back wall. I left the most HDR effect in the ice, because I thought it looked awesome :D Lastly, I placed a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer over everything and used a gradient mask to apply it only to the ceiling - to darken it up. I think this brings back the sense of depth in the shot.
This was by far the most post-processing work I've done on a photo, but it paid off, since it became my most commented on, most favorited, and most interesting photo according to Flickr!
Leave a comment and let me know if this was useful to anyone!
You need something or you feel a lack. Your primordial instinct pushes you to satisy it. Once you fill the lack/need you experience a much better mood.
The whole range of behavior that lead you to a better mood passing through an uncomfortable situation are printed in the memory. In this wide wide range you can find the instinct of eating, the make up every morning, the tendency to help someone in trouble and so on.
If we are in a bad or mildly bad situation (one of those 'how's life?' 'so so') your subconscious tries to help you: it/he/she recalls one of the behavior listed in the wide wide range and pushes you to execute it, so that you can experience a better mood and improve your bad day.
The more your mood get better after a certain behavior the more it rises through the rank of the 'possible things to do in case of psychological emergency'. (Are you a smoker? Think about it!)
Conversely if you don't experience the improvement in your mood you won't tend to behave that way.
If everyone would thanks/gratifies everybody who helps him/her there would be no problem at all. Each 'thank you' told to someone strengthens the mechanism above and the person who helped you will feel a better mood ad will keep helping people!
…but we live in a selfish-world.
So rarely in my life I heard that hoary magic two words formula 'thank you'. According to the argument I shouldn't have helped anyone else during the last 10 years or so. But I did.
How did I do? Where did I find the auto-improvement of my mistreated mood?
I assume nobody will thank me for any kind of help I can give. I just look into their improved mood and copy-paste their improvement into mine. If they would thank me too, well, it's the most effective way to let me going on helping anyone else.
How to survive in a selfish-world?
Say Thank You

This is how I 9shot stills & video of Kelly Slater winning the 2011 US Open at the same time with the 9shooter bracket!
Stills: www.flickr.com/photos/herosjourneymythology45surf/sets/72...
Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga7aj6rMKe4
I "9shot" the photos at the same time I was shooting slow-mo HD video which can be seen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga7aj6rMKe4
Enjoy!
Shot at the Huntington Beach pier in Southern California!
The slow-mo HD video was shot with a new Panasonic HDC-TM900K 32GB Internal Flash Memory High Definition Camcorder, 1920 x 1080 HD, which was mounted next to my Canon Ti3 via my 9shooter bracket, and zoomed out at 20x (which pretty much matched the Canon ti3 with the 150-500 zoom at 500 mm).
The HD video was then slowed down to 24p from 60p in post, using adobe premiere 5.5.
Kelly Slater was amazing! So cool to capture the Canon stills & HD video @ the same time wth the 9shooter. :) Rock on Kelly! He was simply super-human out there!
These actual pics of my 9shooter rig are HDR, shot with a Sony Alpha 550.
I'm serious. I can't seem to get rid of it, and I need some help, in nice simple language about how to. I'm not on cable TV. I'm on a converter box that lets a very limited number of channels through. Up until recently I could get 3 or 4 public broadcasting stations, very clearly, and one ABC channel pretty clear. My daughter, bless her heart, helped me get it hooked up so I could access DVD player and VHS player, and those pictures do not have the black rectangle. Only the Television images. Any ideas, please?
P. S. It is not about what show is on; I just picked anything to take a picture of where it is black. Thanks.

After you finished changing your oil, you could have at least recycled me, and given me everlasting life. But no, you peeled me off of your skin and let me fall where I may. Now here I am, on this sidewalk, being GAWKED at by every passerby. Their first instinct is to wonder what unsanitary human body part have I touched. None, assholes! None! Just pick me up and put me with the rest of the cans and bottles and other reusable waste! I didn't wipe anyone's ass! I was not used for any kind of genital exam! Just pick me up and fucking throw me out! And if you don't? You have to ask?! Well if you don't, then some sad inmate with a pointy stick will pick me up and I'll take up space in your landfill for the next thousand years! How 'bout that? How about your measly tax dollars foot the bill for my thousand year stay in the Garbage-Fucking-Hilton. That's right, you keep on walkin'.
How would this photo play without content, caption or explanation?
I'm sure he's a nice enough guy, but... I bet the man in black could send one serious shiver down the back of many a WWll concentration camp survivor. The guy was giving me chills just from the documentaries and movies I've seen, I mean, look at him- to the SS manor born.
Fortunately, this is not a 21st. century neo-Nazi rally- just another day at the Wondercon comic book convention in San Francisco this past Saturday. Many will recognize both uniforms from the Star Wars movie series. Maybe Lucas got it a little too right, it's about as reminiscent of a Nazi SS officer uniform as one can possibly get. And this guy's really got the aristocratic Nazi phenotype and posture down cold- not to mention the piercing far away glaze in his eyes. If it wasn't for the kid looking every bit the everyday bored and slacker teen (and thereby helping disperse the illusion), the man in charge could very much be deciding who lives and who dies on a pleasant spring day in some parallel universe (or in a galaxy far, far away). And his rather large cohort, the white winter Waffen look a like, would no doubt supply the muscle to carry out his superior's orders.
For the How it Should Have Ended category in the 2014 MocAthalon.
You know that scene when Katniss blows up the supples, and she's disoriented, and the careers come back and Katniss is literally fifteen feet away. HOW DID THEY NOT SEE HER?!?!
How big can you blow?
That is my question and challange. Who ever is of the 365day challange. I want to challange you with this one. How big can you blow your bubble gum?
I love the tast :D

Earlier today I had a short walk around downtown San Francisco with my new friend Jeremy Brooks.
I had not spoken to anybody for a week, So Jeremy had to put his ears to a lot of stories. Glad your ears didn't fall of buddy.
A pleasure spending time with you, hopefully we can do it again someday.
I was so busy talking, that I almost forgot to make some photos, but I did manage to get this one, which I kind of like.
On January 7, 2017, Tami Rossell presented tips to a Hayward Library audience on how to spend only $50/week on groceries for a family of ten. She explained how to budget, write out meal plans, where to shop locally for the best deals, and how to make food last.
“Never let food get low, stock up, and be ahead of the game.” –Tami
Grocery Stores
Tami does her major grocery shopping on Fridays. Tami budgets $30/week for meat, and likes to go to Safeway for a good and affordable selection of turkey, seafood, chicken, pork, beef, and lamb. Look for Safeway’s Manager’s Special, which is only $5 per serving. Additionally, the 99-Cent Store sells single fish fillets for a dollar.
Tami suggests buying your fruits and vegetables from Costco and Smart and Final. Smart and Final in Union City offers organic produce. She only spends $5 on items such as large bags of carrots, onions, spinach, and celery. They also offer organic produce. You can use coupons for Costco.
Costco offers a pack of two gallons of milk for $10.
The remaining amount of money she has in her budget she uses on other expenses that are grocery related. She uses pink Himalayan salt, which can be found at Burlington Coat Factory and Costco.
99 Cent Store offers early morning clearance and produce on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. They offer Auntie Anne's white cheddar popcorn and whole grain cereals.
Meal Planning
Her meals consist of a starch, meat, and vegetables. Typically seafood on Saturday; Sunday is chicken; Monday is meatless (she is a vegan); Tuesday is pork; Wednesday is beef; Thursday is lamb. She makes pasta, tortillas, and baked goods from scratch.
Preparation
Prepare fresh food immediately after purchase. She cooks her meals the night before and freezes them, placing them in zip lock bags to be warmed up the next day. Cut up carrots and place in a snack-size zip lock bag and freeze them. Cook spinach and place in a gallon-size bag. She stores flour, rice, dry beans, and sugar, in separate zip lock bags and puts them in food-grade buckets. These BPA-free buckets can be found in the paint section at Walmart.
