I do not condone the use of photos that I have taken or comments under said images by any law enforcement agencies or courts or for any legal matters here in the United States or abroad.
...then why object to "black lives matter" anyway? Add trans to the equation and some people really flip out. Even within the BLM movement, I've seen. Why strive to raise their voices? Why not consider the most historically disenfranchised and at-risk person, and then give that person ALL the civil rights that the most privileged people supposedly cherish in this country. Protect that person's rights, and you protect everyone's rights.
The Roads Campaign Council, an umbrella group that comprised a wide range of parties interested in road transport, was backed by the British Road Federation and seems to have been active in the post-war years as road transport began to grow and investment in roads was seen as being tardy. The 1950s saw the serious development of schemes for major routes such as motorways and ambitious plans for new roads as part of urban redevelopments and these would, of course, be brought to fruition in the 1960s onwards.
The Campaign seem to have issued a series of publciity or propaganda booklets and this is called "Roads Matter - Scotland" and this makes you wonder if other regional booklets in the same format were issued? I have similar booklets issued by them for specific groups of English towns. The twenty page booklet has text and a series of images showing congestion in urban areas, such as Glasgow, Stirling and Dunfermline as well as 'dangerous roads' such as the A74 Anglo-Scottish trunk road and the A77, the route from Glasgow into Ayrshire.
The photos are of good quality and show street and roadscapes now lost along with many contemporary vehicles and period features that prove to make for fascinating research! I've scanned and posted a selection. The book credits a designer - John Denison-Hunt FSIA - and although not dated appears to be 1957.
Another Austin makes its way along the A9 here close to Ballinluig showing the 'county lane' nature of much of the old road through the Highlands at the time. The text discusses many of the old main roads around Glasgow and into Lanarkshire and Ayrshire.

No matter, it's easy to see who's the boss here,
and for Blue Jays there's not a whole lotta birds that can scare the bajeezus outa them like a Red-bellied girl with an attitude!
Not the best image (due to the unexpected action and a slow shutter speed), but it was such a great behavioral capture I couldn't resist posting it.
I have to say I love the Nikon like sensor quality of the Sony MILC (Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera) with it's great color rendering and low noise despite the incredible 24 MP on an APS-C sensor. So much so that I decided to find a way to MILC this cow in other ways. So I'm thinking of buying an adapter that will allow the use of Canon glass on the Sony ILCE-6000 body, and not loose any of the resolving power of some of the world's best glass.
How so? Well, the chip in the Canon to NEX adapter (the ILCE-6000 is one of the Sony NEX series cameras) I intend to buy translates Canon speak to Sony, and since the NEX sensors are closer to the lens mount than the rear element of the Canon lenses the length of the adapter is gauged to give the proper lens to sensor distance for Canon lenses w/o the use of any extra glass.
Negative attributes?
Yes there are a few with slower AF being one of the casualties, though with the lens based image stabilization used in Canon lenses IS should be unaffected though the IS servos will have to be powered by the camera battery when battery life is already a known problem for the NEX bodies.
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters ...

This is the first song I've started practicing with my newest friend..my Guitar =] ( i haven't thought of a name yet =S) . It was given to me by my brother as a gift (how i love him right now, but am sure I'll start hating him again later =P). It's a beautiful thing..and it sounds good too. =]
On a different note, Id like to thank Ronggon
for his inspiration and guitar lessons. He is a wonderful friend! =D
Ronggon Am still not paying you for the lessons =P
I like 135mm objectives, especially this kind of veterans. Obviously the newer f 1:2.8 (or faster) ones are heavier - with the exception of more or less plastic ones. During the last years I have learnt to appreciate the light weight without losing IQ.
The bigger one on the left is Tele-Xenar by Schneider-Kreuznach (M42), the one on the right is Tele-Ennalyt by Enna-München (Exakta). Both can be easily (and cheaply) adapted to many modern DSRL cameras. Unfortunately I haven't had time to compare these two, but I believe that the bigger is better. An interesting 135mm object comparisation is reported here: www.nicanet.de/mf/135.htm
What are you looking at? Thermos of macaroni cheese left over from the night before, mango, strawberries, tricolour of peppers, freeze dried apple and SA cranberries.

Gaelic Matters > Sheela na Gig
That crazy looking Sheela Na Gig
There is no stranger Gaelic symbol than a Sheela na Gig (also known as Síle na Gig). These are frankly weird statues of female figures or hag-like beings with ugly stares. They are also completely naked, legs open with private parts on display.
While you will see similar figures in certain Continental churches, you usually find them in the company of other sinners and with their bodies in proportion.
In Ireland and Britain, however, sheela-na-gigs are usually on their own and their bodies and just not right anatomically. They are made to look as strange as possible often with triangular heads, no hair, bulging eyes and ears sticking out. They have ugly teeth or no teeth at all. Yet they have the arms and legs are of a young woman.
Many believe the name 'Sheela na Gig' comes from Gaelic and means 'old woman with the breasts'. And yet most do not have breasts. An alternative explanation is that 'Gig' is related to the Irish slang for vagina 'gee' or an old English and Scottish word 'gig' or 'geig' meaning the private parts of a woman. If this explanation is correct it could mean 'Hag of the vulva'.
The majority of the statues are located above entrances to monasteries, churches and castles. They are more common in the South of Ireland with a great number in County Tipperary.
Sheela na Gigs are sexual symbols associated with Gaelic Ireland in 12th to 16th centuries. While it's possible that they represent ancient Celtic goddesses, there are no examples from before the 12th Century. That makes many think that they were actually introduced by the Normans (who arrived in Britain in 1066 and in Ireland in 1169) and that they could indeed represent Scandinavian goddesses instead.
One way or another, they are symbols of fertility and people believed they healed the sick and kept evil away. For that reason they were put above entrances.
Despite that, it always seems strange to me that such a pagan symbol should get such pride of place in many Christian buildings. So it's not surprising to learn that there would be a lot more in existence today but for the fact many sheela-na-gigs were destroyed after the 17th century for representing un-Christian idols.
The vast majority of the ones that have survived are in Ireland. There are in the region of 75 of them with about 30 others spread through England, Wales and Scotland.

Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Crackers all flavors including Cheddar Cheese MUST BE KEPT FOREVER no matter if people love or hate them because Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers are all natural and sugar free and good for school lunches especially brings back good memories from Future Generation Daycare at DeVry University North Brunswick, NJ with my kind hearted daycare teachers Karen Miller and Maryanne Fisher which Teachers MUST BE like and Goldfish Crackers are also just as healthy as edamame and you can even add goldfish crackers in your bowl of edamame as a good topping. Sorry that some mean teachers in schools with a Bogen Multicom 2000 has bashed my opinion on Goldfish Crackers and wanting to ban them just because they hate them and thinks they are unhealthy like mean old Pam Weeks did back in te 2000s when McDonald's had super-size which makes me so sad because I love Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Crackers. This is why all McDonald's restaurants must be by law mandated to be McEyebrows with the yellow and orange striped awnings and better and safe updated indoor PlayPlaces with low safe steps and slides that are easy to keep clean, why all schools must be by law mandated to be set up like Middleborough and or Hilltop school from Timothy Goes to School and or my DeVry building in North Brusnwick, NJ and all with green chalkboards and electric mechanical wall bells and Corbeil School Buses and other school buses with electric stop arms and only kind spirited stuff like Disney Snow White and Pinocchio stuff and Corduroy the Bear with two buttons on his green corduroy overalls and Steve notebooks etc and no mean spirited stuff like Bogen Multicom 2000 and their haunted bell tones and that mean scary looking grumpy face with the freaky spikey eyelashes and triangular eyes and razor blade forehead wrinkles they used to have on Gordon in the old live action model version of Thomas and Friends, why all ice cream trucks must by by law mandated to all have the current updated yellow trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word CHILDREN SLOW CROSSING and or school bus swing arm stop signs which are octagon shaped to help out with people who are deaf and or color blind and or can't read and or don't speak English and get rid of the bad old outdated red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO for good, why all Crayola Crayon boxes must be by law mandated to be new modern 1997 boxes, and why all broadcasts of The Simpsons must be by law mandated to only be reruns of classic Simpsons first 18 seasons only. And people wanting to ban Goldfish crackers is ruining my golden toddlerhood and giving me the idea of hurting myself by setting my own body on fire. Corduroy's button being in the storm drain and my toddlerhood ruined is all McDonald's and Bogen Communication's fault. Good thing I am reviving Nelvana's version of Corduroy the Bear with the premiere of Two Buttons again and Forever fixing Betty Quan's upsetting mistake for good and showing that they did get Corduroy's button out of the storm drain and put Corduroy's button back on Corduroy the Bear's green Corduroy overalls and Corduroy the Bear does have two buttons on his green corduroy overalls forever and restoring my golden toddlerhood for good. And schools with a Bogen Multicom 2000 even recommend the inappropriate phrases about body parts from American Dad and Family Guy and the goofs Mickey Mouse's iconic red short overalls with yellow buttons and no shoulder straps being low waisted and looking like a loincloth they used to make Before Blue's Clues was ever created they used to make minor goofs of Mickey Mouse's iconic red short overalls with yellow buttons and no shoulder straps occasionally being low waisted and looking like a loincloth and having the buttons marking the human penises referencing the inappropriate phrases about body parts from American Dad and Family Guy is extremely vulgar and reminds me of when Corduroy's button was in a storm drain at the end of Cute as a Button which made me extremely upset but good thing I am working for Nelvana reviving Nelvana's version of Corduroy the Bear with the premiere of Two Buttons again and Forever fixing Betty Quan's upsetting mistake for good by showing that they did get Corduroy's button out of the storm drain and put Corduroy's button back on Corduroy the Bear's green corduroy overalls and Corduroy the Bear does have two buttons on his green corduroy overalls forever. They MUST CENSOR the inappropriate phrases about body parts in ALL future American Dad and Family Guy broadcasts because the inappropriate phrases about body parts from American Dad and Family Guy are so gross and inappropriate and so annoying and cringy like Dee Dee's laugh from Dexter's Laboratory and the inappropriate phrases about body parts from Family Guy are making me worried for Corduroy's button and the author of the Corduroy (Nelvana TV series) episode Betty Quan was also watching Dexter's Laboratory and having on DeeDee laughing in the episode of Dexter's Laboratory she was watching while writing the Corduroy episode Cute as a Button is why the Corduroy episode Cute as a Button does have an upsetting ending where Corduroy's button fell in a storm drain across the street from Lisa and Corduroy's apartment Building and forgot to show that they did get Corduroy's button out of the storm drain and put Corduroy's button back on Corduroy the Bear's green corduroy overalls and that Corduroy the Bear does have two buttons on his green corduroy overalls forever and in that storm drain, right after when the button fell in DeeDee from Dexter's Laboratory made Mowgli from Disney's 1967 animated film The Jungle Book fall on Corduroy's button and lay his stomach on the bottom of the storm drain and Corduroy's button was going on the front of Mowgli's bright red cotton fabric loincloth shorts and DeeDee was laughing about it which made me super upset which caused me to have guilt of Corduroy the Bear on December 2009 and what made my guilt of Corduroy the Bear worse was that a student at my middle school Dean Rusk in Canton Georgia named Jessie Burris told me a mean lie that an alligator ate Corduroy's button, yelled out the inappropriate phrases about body parts from American Dad and Family Guy at me, and then she punched me in the shoulder, then she told me to move on from my golden nostalgic toddler stuff like riding on school buses and bring back the bad things from the early 90s such as pear-shaped wrecking balls and ice cream trucks with the bad old outdated red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO (which are extremely confusing to people who are deaf, color blind, can't read, or don't speak English and we need to help out those people out too) and then she told me that she liked DeeDee's annoying idiotic laugh from Dexter's Laboratory and the inappropriate phrases about body parts from American Dad and Family Guy which made me even more upset and worried for Corduroy and his button causing me to have anxiety with my guilt of Corduroy the Bear and all of that I was overeating so much food on December 2009 by making my bowl of Fruity Pebbles super big, munching giant stacks of salt and Vinegar Pringles Potato ships, and having a lot of extra school lunches and I was eating all of these foods all at once nervously for Corduroy and his button and then on exams week on my 8th grade school year on December 2009, I was having a sick stomach with green spots from overeating and then I had to rush to the restroom at my middle school Dean Rusk in Canton, Georgia and I was puking in the restroom bin at my middle school Dean Rusk in Canton Georgia and they had to send me home and skip the exam eventhough I wanted to take the exam and succeed in school. But good thing I am fixing Betty Quan's upsetting mistake by reviving the Nelvana TV show Corduroy with the premiere of an entirely new episode titled Two Buttons again and Forever which is the sequel to Cute as a Button showing that they did get Corduroy's button out of the storm drain and put Corduroy's button back on Corduroy the Bear's green corduroy overalls and that Corduroy the Bear does have two buttons on his green corduroy overalls forever and that I am writing and producing a lot more entirely new Corduroy episodes with Corduroy the Bear having two buttons on his green corduroy overalls instead of one and I am re-editing all season 1 episodes with Corduroy the Bear having two buttons on his green corduroy overalls instead of one and re-editing Betty Quan's Cute as a Button with the beginning of Two Buttons again and Forever as the alternative ending. Good thing I have decided to give up Family Guy because the inappropriate phrases about body parts from American Dad and Family Guy are making me worried for Corduroy's button and the other reason why I have decided to give up Family Guy is because I will have kids of my own when I live in Toronto reviving Nelvana's version of Corduroy the Bear with the premiere of Two Buttons again and Forever fixing Betty Quan's upsetting mistake for good by showing that they did get Corduroy's button out of the storm drain and put Corduroy's button back on Corduroy the Bear's green corduroy overalls and Corduroy The Bear does have two buttons on his green corduroy overalls forever. And my own kids will be a son named Pinocchio William Joseph Rich and a daughter named Pollyanna Wendy Lisa Rich. Good thing Disney now always have the waist of Mickey Mouse's iconic red short overalls with yellow buttons and no shoulder straps have the waist going all the way up to the chest and no longer having minor goofs of the overalls being low waisted and looking like a loincloth and I know for a fact all pants with two buttons going horizontally up in the front are overalls no matter if they have shoulder straps or not because pants always have the waist going all the way up to the chest if they have two buttons going horizontally up in the front no matter if they have shoulder straps or not. As one of my collaborations when I revive Nelvana's version of Corduroy the Bear with the premiere of Two Buttons again and Forever Fixing Betty Quan's upsetting mistake for good I will censor these stupid minor goofs of Mickey Mouse's overalls.
