I love this skirt! It’s a late birthday present. I just wish the waistband wasn’t so tight, it keeps folding over at the sides. But probably I should lay off the potato chips anyway and I’ve been thinking of buying a few medium width belts. I have tons of skinny and wide belts, but hardly any in between. They would be so useful for the skirts I have with in between waistbands as well!

Scott has been studying for mid-terms so he's been laying off the beer... I can't enjoy one if he's not, so until then I'll just have to look at this one, which has been one of my favorites lately.
Wish Scott luck on his mid-terms. He's doing great in the Radiology Tech program and coming in May, he'll be a Second Year student already! It seems not too long ago when he decided to get his AA and begin filling the requirements for the 2 year Rad Tech program. When friends would ask, "How long is it going to take?" ...."About 4 years from the time I start...if I get lucky to get in." That seemed so long ago...and even though he's got a little more than a year left, I know it's going to fly by.
After being out photographing on a road trip all day yesterday I wasn't sure what I would take a photo of for World Photography Day today until this morning when I walked out onto the porch to find Mike and Little Bit snuggling (this is her favorite thing to do). Nixon was laying off to the side content to just be hanging out, he isn't as needy as Little Bit is. I thought Mike and Little Bit looked cute so went and got my camera only to come back out at the perfect time to catch this series. Nixon is well known for coming up to you and unexpectedly licking your face from one end to the other with his big drooley Boxer tongue...lol

The game finished in a hard fought 3-2 victory for Darlo. who were 2-0 up inside 27 minutes.
Hardy opended the scoring for the visitors latching onto a superb ball from Thompson before slipping the ball past the advancing keeper.
Quakers went two-up on 27 minutes but it should have been more as thye spurned a host of chnaces. Liam Marrs’ free-kick was headed down by Mark Beck for Hardy to lay off in turn for Thompson to fire across Frith.
Against the run of play United pulled a goal back on 42 minutes when Jason Gilchrist spotted Jameson off his line, and chipped the ball over the keeper followed by an equaliser on 66 minutes from Thomson.
A draw looked on the cards however with 10 minutes left subsititute Cartman cleverly found Purewal with an overhead kick for his fellow sub to charge up the left. His ball to the far post was blocked, but it came back out to Cartman, who struck a low shot that took a deflection and beat the keeper to make it 3-2. Darlo were able to weather a late storm to secure all 3 points!

Kay. So the deadline for my media coursework was sometime last week and mine wasnt finished so I had to go take a fucking picture for it.
It was sunny when i was leaving the house that morning but rapidly the weather went to shit! I was freezing and it was windy and I was NOT amused having to stand outside with two randomers from my media class.
I have never seen my hair from a distance like this in a while - i havent had it down in forever either;
1- I'm trying to lay off the straightners so just leave it curley and end up tying it up in a bun
2- I'm a lazy fuck who cant be bothered to use straightners in the morning
But yeah. I have WAY too much hair, its a nuisance so its staying tied up from now on until I can get a haircut.
Its also way ginger. I didnt notice how ginger i was.
whatever.
Picasa is looking better and better to me.

This photo is a detail of the stern of a forgotten fishing boat laying off to the side on the beach at Tors Cove.
Formerly named Toads Cove, Tors Cove is a small community located 42 km south of St. John's along Route 10 (on The Irish Loop). Nestled into a scenic and sheltered harbour, Tors Cove was another stopping point for visiting migratory fishermen in the late 17th century. Its name is believed to be derived from an old English word for 'fox', and it was indeed the English themselves who are counted among the first to take up year-round residence here.

Hope to talk to all of you very soon!

Back's feeling better today, so I snuck into my neighbor's flower garden this afternoon and snapped a few shots of his Hibiscus. Had fun processing, maybe I should lay off the muscle relaxers :-D
Could be an impact or an "out-pact" depending on how ya look at it. looks best in the Lightbox!
"Switcheroo", the episode of This America life from a couple of weeks ago, featured a brilliant piece on a company that provides 'local' news pieces for newspapers by mining facts and paying people in the Phillipines on the order of a few cents to collate and write short pieces that are then printer in newspapers as though they had a local news reporter working at the paper. What was striking was the powerful economic argument in favour of this model (this company, Journatec (??) is hiring, while newspapers lay off reporters), and in the fact of a failing business model, the attempt to come up with new ideas and ways to generate revenue, no matter unpleasant it may seem ,or contradictory to the ideals of 'real' journalism. It is impossible, also, not to see the present state of VFX reflected in this, and new business models need to emerge no matter how much they seem to degrade the craft at the heart of good VFX work. Already you can find ads online, people advertising jobs needing minutes of high-end animation, offering to pay a fraction of what you would expect, and eager young inexperienced artists willing to give it a go. They'll get what they pay for, no doubt, but it is here. This is the competition.

...and thought I'd post a photo. Kind of an in-memoriam thing. This photo is an old one, but the newer ones are much less attractive.
This car was a gift from my parents when I graduated college in 1998. It's been with me ever since, and has served me quite well indeed: through two post-college jobs, two bouts of unemployment (one self-imposed, the other due to a post-bubble lay-off) one move out to the east coast, four winters in Vermont, six months of commuting more than 100 miles each day for work, and three years of law school. Wow!
Of course, my new car is just a newer version of what you see here. I can only imagine what adventures I'll have with THAT one.
feed me Seymore... I'm STAAAAAAARVIN'!!!
When I took this, I saw simply a flower, but once I got in on the computer, it resembled a mouth more and more... perhaps I need to lay off the Diet Dew while processing??
I've got maybe 3 other good portraits, but I'm going to hold off on posting them for now. I have one more set for tomorrow and then hopefully I'll lay off. I kind of feel like i'm cheating with these.

The Civil Service Reinstatement League issues a flyer announcing a January 2-3, 1934 conference of government workers at the Thompson School at 12th & L Sts. NW, Washington, D.C.
Nineteen organizations, including delegates from American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) local unions and the Women’s Party, American Federation of Teachers, Central Labor Union, International Association of Machinists, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, American Legion veterans preference Committee, League for American Civil Service, American Federation of Letter Carriers and the National Alliance of Postal Clerks, attended the two-day conference.
Eleanor Norton from the AFGE local at the Labor Department, chaired the meeting.
The conference focused on eliminating the “marriage clause” and restoring the 15 percent pay cut imposed by the 1932 Economy Act.
The Reinstatement League was initiated by AFGE July 8, 1933 after protests following the implementation of the 1932 Economy Act championed by former President Herbert Hoover.
AFGE itself was a relatively new union, chartered by the AFL in 1932 to represent government workers.
Newly elected President Franklin Roosevelt implemented the law and dismissed approximately 4,000 government workers and instituted a 15 percent pay cut for the rest. Vacations were also cut from six weeks to three weeks and a “marriage clause” requiring the firing of a worker who also had a spouse working for the government,
AFGE held a mass meeting at the American Federation of Labor (AFL) headquarters where the League was formed.
AFL President William Green quickly obtained a July 12, 1933 meeting with Roosevelt. Green announced after the meeting that Roosevelt was “thoroughly receptive to the idea that victims of the economy program be given first available jobs.”
However, no progress was made for two weeks and Eleanor Norton, a League member from the Labor Department, organized a delegation of 30 laid-off workers to call on AFGE headquarters to demand action from the League.
But the response of AFGE was to disband the League.
The Evening Star reported August 1, 1933, “With the administration on record in favor of re=employing persons with civil service status in the new agencies, and the way now opened for married workers to be taken back, officials feel that there is no longer any field for the League to occupy.”
Then existing Civil Service regulations denied re-employment to a displaced worker if their spouse continued in employment with the federal government. Activist sought to end the ban, at least for those whose spouses were in low wage jobs.
Despite AFGE’s position and promises from Roosevelt, the marriage penalty barred approximately 250 of those furloughed from the reinstatement list and two of the new agencies—the National Recovery Administration and Public Works Administration had not hired a single person from the lists.
Norton held a conference October 2, 1933 at the Pythian Temple where more than 100 displaced workers vowed to continue the fight and call on the heads of the two agencies that denied them jobs.
By October 18th, the League was protesting the failure of the Government Printing Office to recruit workers from the reinstatement list. In November, the group, along with some District of Columbia AFGE council protested a move to suspend civil service exams for hiring District employees and ignore the civil service reinstatement list.
Conservative AFGE national leaders had their hands full with the League adopting militant tactics and many of the AFGE local unions in the city following suit.
The president of the newly formed AFGE unit at the National Recovery Administration, John L. Donovan, was fired for aggressively pursuing grievances at the agency. The local union sponsored pickets and rallies to get Donovan reinstated and the national AFGE leaders were aghast.
In 1936 and 1937, several local AFGE unions banded together in a Committee Against False Economy to oppose Roosevelt’s 1937 budget cuts. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back and AFGE expelled a number of local unions.
These included the lodges at the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Social Security Board, the Works Progress Administration, Labor Department, Interstate Commerce Commission, Farm Credit, Railroad Retirement Board, Public Assistance Division of the District of Columbia and Agriculture Department.
In June 1937, the newly formed Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) chartered the United Federal Workers of America and picked up these AFGE outcasts, along with the local all-Black Inter-Departmental unit, Loans & Currency, Treasury, Rural Electrification and Congressional Secretaries.
Altogether the initial UFWA head count was about 4,300 members with Jacob Baker, a former assistant administrator of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, as president. Eleanor Norton, the Labor Department worker who headed the Reinstatement League, became secretary treasurer.
In 1944 Norton would be elected president of the union, becoming the first female president of a CIO union. The progressive union that entwined civil rights with labor issues would also appoint Marie Richardson as what is believed to be the first full-time Black woman representative of a major union.
The UFWA would later merge with the CIO’s state workers organization to form the United Public Workers of America (UPWA). The union, however, would wither under red-baiting attacks in the late 1940s and early 1950s and would disband.
Some of the larger locals that continued into contemporary times after the UPWA disbanded were the local cafeteria workers union (that would go through a merger with the hotel workers union before going out on its own again) and the unions of the Panama Canal workers and the Hawaii public workers.

Rainforest Action Network
Bank of America, Not With Our Money!
Funding dirty coal? Not with our money.
Activists hung a banner on Bank of America's Charlotte, NC headquarters to tell the bank: "Not with our money!" People are fed up with Bank of America putting profits before people and planet. The bank is the largest funder of the US coal industry and the leading foreclosure on Americans' homes. Meanwhile, BoA is laying off 30,000 workers and hiking fees left and right. Enough is enough.
As the morning started to slip away four other activists barricaded the main entrance door to BOA's corporate headquarters and held a banner that said "Bank of Coal"
This was all followed up by protest march to the corner of Tryon and Trade Street, where the Rainforest Action Network had several speakers speak before marching over to BOA
You too can tell Bank of America, "Not with our money!"

After reading the results of a recent study in Diabetes Care I'm laying off artificial sweeteners, in particular diet sodas and squashes. Daily consumption of diet soda was found to be associated with a 36% greater relative risk of incident metabolic syndrome and a 67% greater relative risk of incident type 2 diabetes.
There's no history of diabetes or related illnesses in my family, and I do not intend to start one.

I found this Hammock Spider starting to spin its web along the Fen Trail in the Geneseo IL Chapter of the Izaak Walton League Park. I was laying off the trail on my back trying to manually focus on a moving object with a couple of other bugs crawling up my arm. Hey does things get any better??
I found a pale blue rolly-polly about a month before this picture was taken. While on my way to show the blue rolly-polly to my uncle, so I had a witness, I dropped it in long grass and lost it. I went and told him I saw a sky blue rolly-polly anyway, without any proof. He laughed, looked at me sideways with one eyebrow raised, and told me to lay off the smoke.
When I found this metallic dark blue beetle (that bug-shaped blue-black spot in the middle of the shell), I was still butthurt that he didn't believe me about the rolly-polly, and I wanted photographic evidence to prove the beetle was really that color. Unfortunately, the picture is too out-of-focus to be able to tell what the bug was, or what color it was. It's a pretty picture of an abalone shell, anyway.
