I'm currently in the market for a new mountain bike and if I weren't too picky, I would have found one already.
This is T's favourite book & although it doesn't show here, she was filthy.. so I make that 6, not 5 messy babies
A one-way sign on the corner of Second Street and Eighth Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn. There's another one-way sign nearby that's been artificially re-pointed.

One year ago today, on Saturday 24th January 2009, we sat in our vets surgery with Murphy on Graeme's lap - he was unable to walk and screaming in pain. He'd gone from a normal fit healthy dog to not being able to move in just 5 days. He'd been to the vets every day, had tests, x-rays and bloods taken but got steadily worse. We were referred by our vet (who later confessed she didn't think she ever see him again) as an emergency.
He was diagnosed with Immune Mediated Poly-Arthritis, and later on with Polymyositis. During the last 12 months he has suffered 3 major relapses, 4 smaller ones, his skin turned black, his hair fell out, he dropped 6kg, his breath became really smelly, he struggled with the drug side effects and in August was found to have severe bone marrow suppression with a dangerously low platelet count.
Following the bone marrow suppression his drug regime was changed (Medrone changed to Prednisolone and Azathiorpine stopped) and gradually his bloods improved. Since then we have very slowly tried to get his Preds down to a low maintenance dose. Today we have started the final step to an "Every Other Day" dose - we've never successfully reached this stage before. If he does have a wonky time then we now know his lowest dose and we know he can sustain it.
He is not looking his best with his tufty hair, baldy patches and scaly skin, but he's happy, waggy-tailed, full-of-beans, fairly fit and of a healthy weight. And he's still with us!
It's been a year of terrible lows and incredible highs. I've lost count of the amount of times this year we thought we'd lose him. We know it's a case of quality, rather than quantity but that's OK. We make sure that every day is as good as it can be for him and that for us everyday with him is a bonus.
We love you Murph... here's to the next 12 months.
Photo supplied by Norman (Porky) Hawker's brother Doug.
Norman was called up on 13th July 1966. He was in the same hut at Puckapunyal, Victoria as myself (Stan Middleton). Norman (a farm boy) from Lillimur (near Kaniva) Victoria was posted to Vietnam with the Infantry Battalion 7RAR (Royal Australian Regiment) on 8th April 1967 based at Nui Dat.
Sadly Norman was Killed in Action on 27th November 1967.
This photo is one of a collection of photos commemorating Norman's life. Norman took many of the photos shown in this collection.

monetary value detail from a 1973 Canadian one dollar bill
Points of Interest:
The one dollar bill was replaced by the one dollar coin, named the loonie in 1987
The Canadian two dollar bill was replaced by the two dollar coin, named the "toonie" in 1996
Both bills are currently out of circulation
Lots of detail when viewed LARGE

This is the Argus One UAV Prototype designed by a company with the catchy title of World Surveillance Group. It's an Articulated vehicle and it looks pretty weird! It moves like a sky worm or something. I couldn't find a bigger picture.

My dear friend Emily (InfernoBlossom) and I had been trying to get together for awhile to have a dolly, lolita, Alice In Wonderland-ish, tea party. And we finally got around to doing it a few days ago! We busted out with all our cute doll sized food props and had a total blast! :D
