Benefit charity event organized by Evenementia and Stok for LLK association.
This cultural and playful event with a charitable aim will begin Friday, August 26th at 12,30 PM SLT and will end Sunday, August 28th at 4,30pm SLT with a firework.
LLK (Live and Learn in Kenya) is a german association installed on Second Life for more than a year now (led by Brique Topaz), which is raising funds to help children in Kenya.
It's an non-profit aid NGO.
Desolation, hunger, thirst, poverty, illiteracy, AIDS, child prostitution... Here is the daily life of Kenya's children living in slums of Rhonda Nakuru. « Live and Learn in Kenya » is helping everyday in order to make the daily life of these children better.
This association has many missions faithful to the Charter of Rights of the Child : to allow education and scholarship to these children, provide medical care and hygiene, and of course allow them to eat everyday.
LLK is looking for sponsors to finance the education of poor children, which means all a child need to go to school : fees, uniforms, shoes, books, school supplies...
LLK has also an organization in Germany, medical/ dental partner « Arzt und Zahnarzthilfe Kenya», providing quarterly medical and dental cares, check-up and vaccinations.
Their feeding program is also a big success. Thanks to their operation called « Shared Joy », the organization can distribute meals for almost 500 children per day.
All the funds are donations.
100% of donations are directly transfered to Kenya to take care of children, provide education, medical care, feeding, a home and host families. Nobody earns money in LLK.
Evenementia and Stok, aware of the action of the organization in Kenya, have decided to organize a big event under the aegis of « United For Change ».
The aim of the event « United For Change » is to gather together several protagonists (artists, djs, designers, dancers, poets...) for a week end, not only to make people aware of this scourge and make known this association, but also to raise loads of funds.
On differents places on the lands where the event will take place, there will be officials donations jars.
The program of festivities this week end : a host of talented singers and musicians will offer to strollers exceptional lives. All styles of music : pop, rock, folk, classical, variety, jazz...
And also 38 hours of breathtaking Djs sets. Different nationalities and motley types, you'll appreciate the quality of all these sets prepared for the event. Techno, BreakBeat, Drum and Bass, Chill Out, House, Trans, Mood Music, EBM, Rhythmic Noise, Tribal... good sounds for all enthusiasts of good music...
But there is not only music at the program, in fact during all the event, an exhibition will take place on the theme of Africa, also a unique fashion show of African creations by Solylence Houston (Solylence Creation) and of CocoCurious Macbain creations (Coco's African), games, African poetry, animated African tales, and a stand of « African » skins design... and many more surprises.
A lot of partners have created objects or freebies only for this event, and everyone will be able to pick them up.

Evènement caritatif organisé par Evenementia & Stok au profit de l'association LLK
Cette manifestation culturelle et ludique à vocation caritative débutera le vendredi 26 août à 21H30 et se clôturera le dimanche 28 août aux alentours d'1H30 par un feu d'artifice sons et lumières...
LLK (Live and Learn in Kenya) est une association allemande implantée depuis plus d'un an sur Secondlife ( conduite par Brique Topaz) qui récolte des fonds afin de venir en aide aux enfants du Kenya.
C'est une ONG humanitaire à but non lucratif.
Désolation, faim, soif, pauvreté, analphabétisme, sida, prostitution des enfants... Voilà le quotidien des enfants du Kenya qui vivent dans les taudis de Rhonda Nakuru. Live and Learn in Kenya aide chaque jour à améliorer le quotidien de ses enfants.
Les missions de cette association sont multiples et fidèles à la charte des droits de l'enfant : permettre l'éducation et la scolarité de ces enfants, assurer leurs soins médicaux et leur hygiène et bien évidement leur permettre de se nourrir au quotidien.
LLK cherche des sponsors pour financer l'éducation des enfants nécessiteux, qui comprend tout ce que l'enfant a besoin pour aller à l'école : les honoraires, uniformes, chaussures, livres, fournitures scolaires...
LLK a aussi une organisation basée en Allemagne, partenaire médical / dentaire "Arzt und Zahnarzthilfe Kenya», qui fournit des soins médicaux et dentaires, trimestriels check-up et vaccinations.
Leur programme d'alimentation est également un énorme succès. Grâce à leur opération appelé "shared joy", l'association est en mesure de distribuer des repas pour près de 500 enfants par jour. Tous les fonds sont des dons.
100% des dons sont directement transférés au Kenya pour prendre soin des enfants, fournir une éducation, les soins médicaux, une alimentation, un logement et des familles d'accueil. Personne ne touche d'argent au Live and Learn au Kenya.
Evenementia et Stok, sensibilisés par cette association et son action au Kenya, ont décidé d'organiser un gros évènement sous l'égide " United For Change".
Le but de l'opération " United For Change "est réunir le temps d'un week end plusieurs protagonistes (artistes, djs, créateurs, danseurs, poètes....) afin, non seulement de sensibiliser les gens à ce fléau et de faire connaître cette association, mais aussi de collecter un maximum de fonds.
Sur les différentes parties des lands de l’évènement seront disposées des bornes de donations officielles.
Au programme des festivités de ce week end, une pléaide de chanteurs et musiciens talentueux qui vont offrir aux spectateurs des lives d'exception. Tous les genres seront au rendez-vous ; pop, rock, folk, classique, variétés, jazz...
Sur le stage DJs, 38H00 de sets à vous couper le souffle. De nationalités différentes et de genres hétéroclites, vous allez pouvoir appréciez la qualité de tous ces mixs qui ont été préparés pour l'occasion. Techno, BreakBeat, Drum and Bass, Chill Out, House, Trans, Mood Music, EBM, rhythmic noise, tribal.... du bon son pour tous les amateurs de bonnes musiques....
Mais le programme ne se limite pas à cela, durant la totalité de l'opération, il y aura aussi une exposition sur le thème de l'Afrique, un défilé de mode unique de créations africaines de Solylence houston (Solylence Creation) et de CocoCurious Macbain (Coco's African), des jeux, des ateliers de poésies africaines, des contes africains animés, un atelier de création de skins "africaines".... et bien d'autres surprises.
Beaucoup de partenaires ont crées aussi des objets ou freebies pour l'occasion qui seront à la disposition de tous.

Hello to all my flickr Family and Friends!
A few weeks ago I bought a brunette doll (I am sure you can guess who she is :P) but she turned out to be bald with the exception of her part which has remained intact.
I decided to buy another and it turns out she is missing two plugs of hair at the back (which loosens all the other plugs but I will just try my best to not tug on them :P).
My question is, should I use the hair of the first doll to reroot the two plugs on the second doll? or should i just leave her as she is as you can't see those plugs when she is on display?
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks guys :D
Cute little kit of fun papers for scrapbooking, journaling, etc. I like to add bits of paper to my everyday calendar just to make it interesting so that I look at it! See my profile for shop information.
The toot helps mommy make some bread. His job consisted of scooping sugar, and pouring it back into the sugar canister.
I couldn't help but listen in to the conversation the young lady was having with the gentleman seating down. She was trying to go to hillside. The gentleman told her this not the right train. However the gentleman was wrong. I don't think he truly understood her because she had a strong foreign accent (I can relate!). So i decided to help her myself and in actuallity she was trying to go to woodside not hillside so this was the right train.
i don't even know...i was just mucking around with colours and those feet. Also testing out lighting.
He just wants a hug!
Help me pick my new glasses! This pair is black, with a pink inner trim, and gunmetal arms. Both are the same sort of style that suits my face.
Vote for your favourite pair in the comments.

How I Got in Shape with the Help of Technology
It's tempting to think dropping cash on a clever exercise-/fitness-/weight-/food-tracking gadget or app is the only thing standing between you and those six-pack abs you're still convinced you want, but simply owning a new exercise gadget isn't going to get you in better shape. Unfortunately when it comes to your fitness, there's no magic bullet beyond actually eating better and exercising. That doesn't mean fitness tech is useless, though. I spent the last eight months testing out some of the more popular fitness tools on the market; some were great, others not so great. Here's a look at my favorite fitness gadgets and apps, and a look at how I got in better shape this year with the help of tech.
First, a note: I'm not a doctor, not a dietician, and I'm not in terrible shape. I've always been at least somewhat athletic, and I like staying active, but like most people, I've occasionally let stress, time, and yes, laziness get in the way of health and fitness. At the beginning of this year I decided, puffy-faced after a holiday season of binging, that I needed to get in better shape. I'd been reading raves about gadgets like the FitBit, so I decided to give these tools a try to see if they actually worked.
As it turned out, they did. Some worked better than others, but I dropped the 10 or so pounds I was looking to leave behind (like I said, I wasn't in terrible shape to begin with) and have kept it off. It would probably be more impressive if I'd lost 50 pounds, but there's no reason the same tools can't accomplish a larger goal.
The Contestants
I tried most of the fitness gadgets I could get my hands on, trying to tackle as much variety I could in terms of types of fitness tech. If you feel don't like reading about each piece of tech, just jump down to what ended up working best for me. The gadgets and apps I tried include:
The BodyMedia Fit ($180-$260 + monthly subscription): Great Data, Bulky Device
What It Is: The Fit a tracking arm band that tracks your caloric output by measuring things like body heat, sweat, heat flux (the rate at which heat is dissipated from your body), and your activity, as in motion. It does the latter with a built-in accelerometer—the same thing the detects movements in a Wiimote or your smartphone. As an added bonus, it also measures and analyzes your sleep if you wear it to bed and tracks your calories consumed—if you're willing to enter everything you eat into their webapp. You can read more details regarding how it works here.
Pros: The Fit is rich with data, and among all the tools I tested, it clearly does the most, it presents it all in a friendly dashboard, and one charge lasts for days, so you don't need to worry about charging it all the time. Most of that data is tracked automatically, so all you have to do is wear the arm band. The only thing you have to manually enter into the web site is your calories consumed, which you do through a Weight-Watchers-like food database, and your weight.
Cons: You have to wear an armband around all the time. I wore the Fit around for a good six weeks, and frankly, I found wearing it kind of gross. My arm would feel a little sweaty, so I'd pull the rubber-y elastic band away from my arm to get a little air in there like you would if you were wearing tight, poorly breathing underwear. The $180 version I tested also had to be plugged into your computer to sync, which, in a world where wireless is the expectation, felt really tedious. Since I tested it, BodyMedia has released a $250 Bluetooth-capable version that, I believe, can sync wirelessly to your Android or iPhone. The gadget itself doesn't have any display, so you can't get any on-the-fly statistics unless you've synced it—in which case you'll have to visit the webapp or open the Fit app on your smartphone.
Verdict: The Fit was the best tracker I tested in terms of accuracy and breadth of information. Unfortunately I'm not a convict, and unless required by law, I, like most people, find wearing a bulky armband every day to be overkill. In the winter, it bulged under long-sleeve shirts like I had severely over-exercised one arm. In short-sleeve weather, several people assumed I had some sort of blood disease that needed constant monitoring (not kidding). I'd consider using the Fit full time if it weren't such a socially awkward commitment—that is, if it were smaller and could live in my pocket.
Fitbit ($100): Unobtrusive Tracker, Low Price
What It Is: The Fitbit is a small, key fob-sized pedometer that fits in your pocket and uses an accelerometer to track steps taken, distance walked, and calories burned in a day. Like the BodyMedia Fit, the Fitbit web site allows you to view your activity and (manually) log your caloric intake. The point is to see your calories in vs. calories out to get a sense of how you're doing in the weight loss department. As an afterthought, Fitbit also has a sleep tracking element.
Pros: Fitbit is small, fits easily into your pocket (or wherever you want to clip it on—most of the time I preferred to wear mine in my otherwise unused watch pocket), and syncs wirelessly to a USB dongle-plus-charger that plugs into your computer. It's easy to set up, easy to use, and the Fitbit interface is attractive and easy to navigate. The pint-sized gadget syncs wirelessly whenever you're in range of the (likewise small) USB base station, and the device's onscreen display gives you on-the-fly stats, displaying steps taken, distance walked, and a surprisingly effective flower that grows taller the more you're walking. (I was always disappointed in myself when I didn't max out that flower height.)
Cons: The Fitbit's battery life is a little on the weak side, but it's not a dealbreaker. If you want to track your sleep with the Fitbit, you have to wear it on a wristband, which suffers the same problems as the Fit: Namely, it sucks to wear an uncomfortable band to sleep.
Verdict: The Fitbit isn't nearly as full-featured as the Fit, but it makes up for that with convenience. Its wireless activity sync, on-device stats, and small size make it an addictive gadget to carry around in your pocket. I found myself regularly checking (and actually caring about) my daily steps taken. You still need to remember to swap pockets every day, and it can be frustrating when you forget, but you get in the habit of keeping it with you like you get in the habit of remembering your keys. Lastly, my primary activity is jogging, and while Fitbit does have a special "activity" mode, it's much more of a walker's device.
Withings WiFi Body Scale ($160): Dead-Simple Tracking, Easily Understandable Data
What It Is: The Withings WiFi Body Scale is what it sounds like: A scale that connects to your home Wi-Fi network. Aside from measuring your weight, it also measures your body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage. It syncs the results to the Withings web site, where you can track you weight over time. Withings works with multiple users, so every person in your household can track their weight using the device.
Pros: You won't find anything much simpler to use than the attractive Withings scale. After you've set it up with your network, associated it with your MyWithings account, and added yourself as a user, you just stand on the scale whenever you want to use it. It weighs you and measures your BMI and body fat percentage. It automatically syncs the results to the web. There's nothing easier than stepping on a scale when you get out of the shower, so Withings has the lowest hassle to adoption. The weight change over time is, for me, effective. Rather than having a vague idea that I've gained or lost weight, I know exactly how much I've gained or lost, and even though it doesn't have any way of tracking your caloric intake/output, normally I have a pretty good idea of when and why it's happening. As an added bonus, Withings can incorporate its data with third-party fitness tools—including RunKeeper (see below).
Cons: The Withings scale can't track the same data as the Fit or Fitbit for obvious reasons. It's limited to the three weight measurements.
Verdict: I really like the Withings scale. Incorporating gadgets like the Fit or Fitbit into your life is a big commitment, but there's nothing to using a scale. You just stand on it. Everyone understands that, and beyond the initial setup, that's all there is to it. A good weight history is, for me, really powerful. It's hard data saying, "Adam, you're getting a little on the heavy side for you. Time to shape up."
RunKeeper (Free app, $20/year for the Elite service); Low Price, Great for Runners
What It Is: RunKeeper is an Android, iPhone, and Windows Phone 7 app that uses your smartphone's GPS to track your runs, hikes, walks, skis, and pretty much every other distance- and motion-based activity. It tracks distance, duration, pace, speed, elevation, and calories burned. When you finish a workout, the RunKeeper app syncs the results to RunKeeper.com, where you can track your activity history. It's far from the only app of its kind, but it is the only one I know of with strong, cross-platform support. (I like to know I can switch between an Android or iPhone and still use the same tracking app.) Other good tracking alternatives include RunStar Runmeter and Nike+. The same pros and cons of of RunKeeper will mostly apply to other apps of its ilk.
Pros: I like listening to music or podcasts when I jog, so I'm taking my phone with me anyway. RunKeeper works well (as long as your phone's GPS doesn't suck; when I had the abomination of an Android phone that is the Samsung Captivate, the GPS tracking was all over the place) and does exactly what it advertises. The app is customizable, allowing you to set time- or distance-based announcements for your distance and pace, place specific playlists, and so on. The feature that really blew my mind was the Coaching feature, which allows you to create your own workouts with specific time- or distance-based intervals. (E.g., run fast for .25 miles, then slow for 1 minute; rinse and repeat as often as you like). Once I discovered coaching, I was hooked.
Cons: As I mentioned, RunKeeper is only as good as your device's GPS. This isn't really RunKeeper's fault, but it is an important factor to keep in mind. The RunKeeper app is free, but some really nice advanced features are only available once you've signed up for the $20/year RunKeeper Elite. I'm motivated by personal bests, so the main benefit of the subscription is the full-featured Personal Records and Trends. (I run the most, by far, on Tuesdays.) I count the Elite requirement as a con in the context of a free app, but it's also pretty cheap relative to buying any of the gadgets above.
Verdict: If you're a jogger, RunKeeper (or other tracking apps like RunKeeper) is incredibly useful. You get all the tracking information you want for your exercise, and you don't have to carry yet another gadget around with you everywhere you go (assuming you already carry a smartphone).
What Worked Best for Me
I spent months using the devices above to get in better shape, and for starters, I should mention that it worked. All of the tools I included worked better for me than nothing by nature of what's involved. As soon as you start actively tracking this data, you can't help but become more aware of your fitness. That's a good thing, and any feedback loop is better than no feedback loop.
Still, I found that the less painful the path to adoption, the more likely I was to actually keep up with and pay attention to the results of the tool. Even if I started with the best intentions, I could never convince myself to log everything I eat, and for me, wearing a dedicated tracking device everywhere I went got annoying after a while. So while I enjoyed perusing all the data that devices like the Fit and Fitbit gave me, my sweet spot combined the Withings scale and RunKeeper.
As I mentioned above, I like to jog as my primary form of fitness, and RunKeeper is an excellent joggers companion. And while measuring caloric input and output does, in theory, narrow the feedback loop between eating and gaining five pounds, weight is a metric that everyone understands, without effort. So tracking my weight with Withings filled in some of the gaps between RunKeeper and the Fit/Fitbit.
Additionally, the Withings scale data can integrate with RunKeeper, which—while not that useful on its own—is a nice bonus.
What I'm Still Keeping an Eye Out For
Health and fitness tech is still in its infancy, and in the next few years, this kind of health-related quantified self technology will only improve. I'm still eagerly waiting to see what comes out of Massive Health, for example, a startup from the former creative lead at Firefox Aza Raskin.
Devices that I didn't mention (and that many of you may already be using) include gaming-integrated tools like the Wii Fit. In theory more and more of the better tech—like the Fit and Fitbit—will manage to shrink down and integrate directly into your smartphones so that you don't need to carry an extra gadget with you everywhere you go.
How About You?
Have you spent a lot of time with a fitness tracking tool, whether it's as old-school as Weight Watchers or as new as the tools above? Share your experience—including what's worked well and what hasn't—in the comments.
Guess who'e been playing with the scanner again!
This is building on experimentation that I have been doing, using my scanner to produce an image rather than my camera.
Personally I find this image disturbing but that is what I intended, so I suppose I should be happy.

Sheree Zielke needs some help. Her daughter was lost to domestic violence and Sheree now has her 5 children to care for. Please consider donating to help a friend in need. The website is www.youcaring.com/memorial-fundraiser/for-rienna-s-five-a... Thank you
This cute (and scared) child bought animal feed for the goats. A herd just dashed over to him almost tripping him down to the floor. He had to climb the tree to get away from them! He was having a lot of fun with this. ( I did the same, and they almost threw me to the floor also -- they wanted to eat my camera strap).
We were working an event at the Gramercy Park Hotel. We got there at 9am and worked until 6pm... the next day. Every time I used the elevator, this little button was like a Zen meditation.

I'm taking a short break from the Juilliard series to ask for your support in my work.
My first short film just made it to the finalists of W magazine "Fashion on film" contest.
please help me out and vote here fashiononfilm.wmag.com/vote.php (second video). Also, pass on the link to friends who might be interested to help out. (They are also raffling a 1,000$ to one of the voters).
since my family is all in Israel and they can't vote, I can really use any vote I can find.

I am not having sewing machine joy today. I'm sorry, I know flickr isn't a help forum but I'm not sure where else to turn -- can anyone help? I've broken two needles already this afternoon, re-threaded, checked the tension, but every time I try to sew the thread gets bunched up around the bobbin like this within a couple of stitches, then the main line breaks.
I'm trying to sew fleece -- not sure if this counts as heavy or light fabric -- but the same thing is happening now whatever type of fabric and whatever type of stitch. Anyone seen this kind of thing before?

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help!
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

Help us identify this aircraft! The N number is listed as an "American USA"....anyone have additional information or can verify if this is correct!?
Thanks for stopping by and viewing this photo. The reason for posting this photo on Flickr is to learn so if you have constructive feedback regarding what I could do better and / or what should I try, drop me a note I would love to hear your input.
View on Black the way it should be seen!
