A poor quality photo and video of a seal struggling with a fish in the fresh water part of the River Clyde, way beyond Glasgow Green. It's a few hundered yards from the Cuningar Loop and only about half a mile from Celtic Park.
Deboxing Cinderella.
Here are detailed photos of my Saks Cinderella doll. She is #1990 of 2500. I purchased her during the Cyber Monday sale (on November 26), so got her for $100 less than the list price. I received her today (Saturday December 1) from FedEx. She was double boxed, and the box and doll are in nearly perfect shape. There was a small mark on her nose that I rubbed off, and some stray hairs in her eyes that I removed with tweeters. Her bangs are very neat, as are her eyelashes. Her updo is in pretty good shape, but I'll see if I can make it neater when I debox her. Her dress is slightly bluish silver and is very voluminous. I love the iridescence of the gems in her dress. She looks so elegant and beautiful, and would definitely turn heads in a Royal Ball. She makes the 2012 Disney Store Cinderella LE doll look frumpy and cheap. She is still available from the Saks website.

Lesser Scaups nest later than any other duck in Alberta. I always worry that they won’t be able to fly before the ice sets in. I caught this duckling yesterday. They always seem to manage though. There is never a shortage of Lesser Scaups here.

Nikon D800E Photos Blond Bikini Swimsuit Model Goddess with Long, Strong Legs & 69 Black Convertible Stingray Corvette!
I had the vette for less than 24 hours and I parked it on the PCH in Malibu with the top down for a few minutes, and when I returned, a pretty blond goddess was sitting in the driver's seat! She was from Prague of all places!
She had beautiful curves--the 69 stingray corvette! And the blond too! She had her top down! As AC/DC said, "She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean, she was the best damn woman I had ever seen!" She ran a little rough, so "You shook me all night long," applied as I drove her through the canyons under the full moon.
Well, I figured I owed all my loyal flickr fans a new mode of transportation along our hero's journey for all your support. :)
More corvette adventures to come!

Modeling the black & gold "Gold 45 Revolver" Gold'N'Virtue swimsuits with the main equation to Moving Dimensions Theory on the swimsuits: dx4/dt=ic. Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! :) You can read more about my research and Hero's Journey Physics here:
herosjourneyphysics.wordpress.com/ MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic--the foundational equation of all time and motion which is on all the shirts and swimsuits. Every photon that hits my Nikon D800e's sensor does it by surfing the fourth expanding dimension, which is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic!

I'm waiting for a 7D to arrive so I can shoot 3D HD video with this very nice new offering from Loreo Asia-Hong Kong. Great news, you can mount it on a full frame Canon 5DMII. You don;t get the full size, but the images are truly clear at the small APS-C format size, and the 5D has very low visual noise, so that the small f stops on the lens are less of a problem. Video, is of course, impossible with the lens on the
big 36mm sensor of the 5DM2. The lens is very impressively styled, and provides DEEPER 3D, due to it's 90mm stereo base! It offers threaded mounts for wide angle converters, or even better, anamorphic lenses that might be offered to serious shooters and pros, by third party lens manufacturers. Another feature that Loreo may not know about their new lens, is that the convergence slider allows you to shoot much better CROSS-VIEW pairs than any of their other lenses can deliver. It is linked with the focus, but at f-16 or 22, the lens will deliver good focus and also do the compensation to allow wide images in CROSS-VIEW. As a maker of prism glasses for this cross format, I'm extremely pleased! Shooting 3D with a single camera is a lot simpler way to capture stereo in perfect sync, and at high still shutter speeds!
More or less by chance I purchased a large number (>1000) of negatives taken in Southwest Africa (Namibia) in 1931. They show the daily life on a german farm, expeditions into the desert and hunting.
But then there were also disturbing photographs. Mugshots of Africans and people who have a clay-like substance smeared on their faces.
It turned out that the photographer was H. Lichtenecker, a German artist and self-proclaimed anthropologist, who went to Namibia to work on an "Archive of Vanishing ‚Races‘".
The Africans were persuaded or more likely forced to have casts taken of their faces, hands, and feet in a humiliating process. Afterwards, their voices were recorded on wax cylinders.
Together with other ethnological studies, the results of the investigations formed an important part of the National Socialist racial ideology.
I've been thinking for a long time whether I should put these photographs online. Would it be considered as a renewed abuse of the indigenous people?
But then, leaving the photographs in the archives, unseen, unremembered?
I came to the conclusion that they should be seen, because many of them show the incredible dignity of the africans despite their humiliation.
If you "fave" one of the questionable „anthropological“ photographs, I understand that as a tribute to the indigenous people who have been misused for racist research.
Unfortunately, many of the negatives are not in a good shape. Scratches and sometimes mold have left their mark during almost 90 years. I have tried to eliminate many of the scratches and have adjusted the contrast.

Manufacturer/Model: Leitz Wetzlar, Bidoxit 6X30
Field of View: 8.5 deg = 149 m/1,000 m; APFOV 51 deg
Weight: 482 gr
Exit Pupil: 5 mm
Serial #/Year of Manufacture: 590369, estimate manufactured late 1950’s – early 1960’s
Notes: The Leitz Bidoxit 6X30 was introduced in 1927 and manufactured until 1962 when Leitz discontinued all of its Porro prism models in favor on the roof prism Trinovids.
This is a superb binocular and beyond doubt one of the best performing 6X30’s in the collection. Its build appears identical to that of the Leitz Binuxit 8X30 (see www.flickr.com/photos/46330704@N08/6329313798/in/photolis... ) except the Binuxit has wide-angle three lens oculars while the Bidoxit 6X30 has two lens ones. Both binoculars have the same actual fields of view and both were introduced and discontinued the same years. The Binuxit is a better known and more popular binocular and today on eBay will usually sell for at least twice that of a Bidoxit. And truth be told if I could have only one binocular and had to choose between the two, it would be the Binuxit because the 8X30 offers an extra 2X magnification with an otherwise very similar view. However, the Bidoxit does have certain advantages over its big and more famous brother: 1) Most importantly, under normal daylight conditions the view is slightly but still noticeably brighter because of greater light transmission due to its simpler ocular design i.e. only four air-glass surfaces in the two lens Bidoxit ocular as opposed to six in the three lens Binuxit ocular. Also under low light conditions the Bidoxit’s view would be a little brighter due to its larger exit pupil. 2) 6X binoculars are less affected by shake giving a steadier image. And 3) The Bidoxit is about 30 grams lighter. The Bidoxit does excel for backyard viewing where distances aren’t too great and binocular magnification not critical . And during the 1920’s – 1930’s before the introduction of anti-reflective coated optics, I suspect the superior light transmitting qualities of the Bidoxit would have been more apparent and the model would have been more popular then than it was after WW II.
Included with the binocular tucked away at the bottom of the case was an United States “Import Certificate”, the first of these I have seen. See View 2: www.flickr.com/photos/binocwpg/9439060390/in/photostream/ .
Note: If you have a vintage binocular you either wish to sell or would just like some information about, I can be contacted at flagorio12@gmail.com .

Badlands landscape of the "El Desierto Pintado" (The Painted Desert) in the Petrified Forest National Park is situated near the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau. with elevations ranging from 5300 feet to 6235 feet. It was the uplift of the Colorado Plateau, starting about 60 million years ago, and the erosion that followed and continues today, which carved the present landscape.

Lesser Rayless Daisy, Erigeron reductus var. angustatus. Also called California Rayless Fleabane and Narrow-leaved Rayless Daisy. An uncommon herbaceous perennial and harbinger of summer in the grasslands. This oddball population has occasional stunted rays, perhaps showing its ties to the related Erigeron foliosus.
Edmund Rubbra (/ˈrʌbrə/; 23 May 1901 – 14 February 1986) was a British composer. He composed both instrumental and vocal works for soloists, chamber groups and full choruses and orchestras. He was greatly esteemed by fellow musicians and was at the peak of his fame in the mid-20th century. The most famous of his pieces are his eleven symphonies. Although he was active at a time when many people wrote twelve-tone music, he decided not to write in this idiom himself. Instead he devised his own distinctive style. His later works were not as popular with the concert-going public as his previous ones had been, although he never lost the respect of his colleagues. Therefore, his output as a whole is less celebrated today than would have been expected from its sheer merit and from his early popularity. He was the brother of the engineer Arthur Rubbra.
Rubbra started composing while he was still at school. One of his masters, Mr. Grant, asked him to compose a school hymn. He would have been very familiar with hymn tunes, as he attended a Congregational church and played the piano for the Sunday School. He also worked as an errand boy whilst he was still at school, giving some of his earnings to his parents to help with their finances.
At the age of 14, he left school and started work in the office of Crockett and Jones, one of Northampton's many boot and shoe manufacturers. Edmund was delighted to be able to accrue a number of stamps from parcels and letters sent to this factory, as stamp-collecting was one of his hobbies. Later, he was invited by an uncle, who owned another boot and shoe factory, to come and work for him. The idea was that he would work his way up from the bottom of the company, with a view to ownership when his uncle, who had no sons of his own, died. Edmund, influenced by his mother's lack of enthusiasm for the idea, decided to decline. Instead, he took a job as a correspondence clerk in a railway station. In his last year at school he had learned shorthand, which was an ideal qualification for this post. He also continued to study harmony, counterpoint, piano and organ, working at these things daily, before and after his clerk's job.
Rubbra's early forays into chamber music composition included a violin and piano sonata for himself and his friend, Bertram Ablethorpe, and a piece for an excellent local string quartet. He used to meet with the keen, young composer, William Alwyn, who was also from Northampton, to compare notes.
Rubbra was deeply affected by a sermon he heard given by a Chinese Christian missionary, Kuanglin Pao. He was inspired to write Chinese Impressions – a set of piano pieces, which he dedicated to the preacher. This was the beginning of a lifelong interest in things eastern.
At the age of 17, Rubbra decided to organise a concert devoted entirely to Cyril Scott's music, with a singer, violinist, cellist and himself on the piano, at the Carnegie Hall, in Northampton Library. This proved to be a very important decision, which would change his life. The minister from Rubbra's church attended the concert, and secretly sent a copy of the programme to Cyril Scott. The result of this was that Scott took Rubbra on as a pupil. Rubbra was able to obtain cheap rail travel because of his job with the railway, so he was able to get to Scott's house by train, paying only a quarter of the usual fare. After a year or so, Rubbra gained a scholarship to University College, Reading. Gustav Holst became one of his teachers there. Both Scott and Holst had an interest in eastern philosophy and religion, inspiring Rubbra to have further interest in the subject.
Holst also taught at the Royal College of Music and advised Rubbra to apply for an open scholarship there. His advice was followed and the place was secured. Before Rubbra's last term at the Royal College, he was unexpectedly invited to play the piano for the Arts League of Service Travelling Theatre on a six-week tour of Yorkshire, since their usual pianist had been taken ill. He accepted this offer despite its meaning he missed his last term. This provided him with invaluable experience in playing and composing theatre music, that he never regretted and which stood him in good stead for his later dramatic work. In the mid-1920s Rubbra used to earn money playing for dancers from the Diaghilev Ballet. At around this time he became firm friends with Gerald Finzi.
In 1941, Rubbra was called up for army service. After 18 months he was given an office post, again because of his knowledge of shorthand and typing. While he was there, he ran a small orchestra assisted by a double-bass player from the BBC orchestra. The War Office asked him to form a piano trio to play classical chamber music to the troops. Rubbra was happy to oblige, and the trio, with William Pleeth the cellist, Joshua Glazier violinist and himself on the piano took six months acquiring a repertoire of chamber music. "The Army Classical Music Group", was formed and later expanded to seven people. On one occasion an overzealous entertainment officer thought there would be a better audience by advertising with big posters for "Ed Rub & his seven piece Band". They travelled all over England and Scotland and then to Germany, with their own grand piano which, with its legs removed for transport, became a seat for them in the back of the transport lorry.
After the war, on 4 August 1947 (the Feast of St Dominic), Rubbra became a Roman Catholic, writing a special mass in celebration. Also at this time, the University of Oxford was forming a faculty of music. They invited Rubbra to be a lecturer there. After much thought, he accepted the post. From 1947 to 1968 Rubbra was a lecturer at the Music Faculty and a Fellow of Worcester College, Oxford. The army trio kept meeting, playing at clubs and broadcasting, for a number of years, but eventually Rubbra was too busy to continue with it.
It is a measure of the high esteem in which Rubbra was held in the 1940s, that his Sinfonia Concertante and his song Morning Watch were played alongside such works as Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius, Kodály's Missa Brevis and Vaughan Williams's Job, at the 1948 Three Choirs Festival.
When Vaughan Williams heard that the University of Durham was going to confer an Honorary D.Mus on Rubbra in 1949, he wrote him a very short letter: "I am delighted to hear of the honour which Durham University is conferring on itself."
Rubbra received a request from the BBC to write a piece for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The result was Ode to the Queen, for voice and orchestra, to Elizabethan words. In connection with the same celebration, he was invited by Benjamin Britten to contribute to a collaborative work, a set of Variations on an Elizabethan Theme. He initially accepted, but later withdrew; Britten then asked Arthur Oldham and Humphrey Searle to take his place.
On Rubbra's retirement from Oxford, in 1968, he did not stop working; he merely took up more teaching at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where his students included Michael Garrett and Christopher Gunning. Neither did he stop composing. Indeed, he kept up this activity right until the end of his life. He had, in fact, started a 12th Symphony in March 1985, less than a year before his death. He died in Gerrards Cross on 14 February 1986.
Ronald Stevenson summed up the style of Rubbra's work rather succinctly when he wrote, "In an age of fragmentation, Rubbra stands (with a few others) as a composer of a music of oneness".
Sir Adrian Boult commended Rubbra's work by saying that he "has never made any effort to popularize anything he has done, but he goes on creating masterpieces".
After a couple of days at a professional conference in town, I skipped the last morning session and went to Antioch Marsh at Hillsdale Lake in Miami County. The parking lot had a handful of cars and the evidence of two early morning fires was chewable in the calm morning air. The smell of wafting smoke was matched to the visual disdain of ash, trash, and rocks from over-privileged public land users decisions.
A bunch of Killdeer and Franklin's Gulls were the first birds I spotted through the scope, but with the sun still not above the horizon and duck hunters present I respected their use of the land and stuck to the trees rather than sneaking around the corner and visible from the shoreline. I am glad I did, as I had a great chat with the Public Lands Manager and hope our paths cross again. His passion for the outdoors and retained knowledge from an ornithology class in college was evident as we chatted and were interrupted by birds calling as they flew over.
A friend joined me and we scoped and took pictures until the sun was easily above the tree line and I couldn't imagine the duck hunters being upset if we walked out to the shoreline. The Franklin's Gulls were easily spooked and you could hear the whoosh of their wings taking flight. Mixed among them were a few Bonaparte's Gulls and Ring-billed Gulls, American Avocets, and ducks outside the hunters range. We scanned the shorebirds a second time and picked out a single Dunlin, a couple of American Golden-Plovers, a late migrating Semipalmated Plover, a few Least Sandpipers, and distant Peeps before a large flock of Swallows descended on the area. I mentioned we should check the Tree Swallows for other species among them, recognizing it seemed the proper thing to do as we were primarily standing and chatting. A flash of white and a few seconds later; VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOW!
We both took some time taking photos, this being one from that day. Another friend pulled in when we were in the parking lot, so we walked back to the point with and were buzzed by a Peregrine Falcon. The swallows were completely absent by then already, seemingly around for less than an hour that morning.

Chatting with friends, the public lands manager, and dumb luck of being in the right spot and the right time all while enjoying nature and birds was a great way to spend the day. We also picked up a couple bags of trash, leaving the public land better than the way we found it.
Mostecká Street on the Lesser Quarter side with the baroque Church of St Nicholas in the background, Prague, Czech Republic
Some background information:
Mostecká Street is the avenue which follows the Charles Bridge on Prague’s Lesser Quarter side. It’s a widely popular shopping promenade in the Lesser Quarter, lined by many beautiful renaissance and also baroque town houses.
The Church of St Nicholas was built in place of the former Lesser Quarter parish church from 1283 and is one of the most important baroque buildings throughout Bohemia. Its nave as well as its west facade was erected from 1703 to 1711 by the German architect Christoph Dientzenhofer and its choir as well as its dome was built from 1737 to 1752 by his son Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer. However the bell tower was erected by the Italian architect Anselmo Lurago in 1756.
Inside the church the ceiling fresco "Apotheosis of St Nicholas" can be seen, painted by Johann Lukas Kracher. With its extend of about 1,500 square metres it counts among the largest in Europe.
i didn't start wearing make up till my twenties and even then it was just a bit of eyeliner. i recently bought red lipstick and i love it even though i think it looks a little bizarre on me because i've always thought my lips were oddly shaped. :/
work was dull; i finally treated myself to the kfc i'd been craving for weeks and it was less than satisfactory; today was day one of five days in a row. bleh. at least they're mostly all short shifts.
eta: in retrospect i may hate this photo a little.
