My Flickr friends, thanks so much for showing up and sharing! I have been able to get to some of you
and leave a comment. I'll get to more of you, slowly, a little at a time, as my arm is improves.
One afternoon I made Mystea a pretty dress (with matching cute beanie) made out of a sock, yes that's right a sock (with a bear pattern). No one's using it so I just made another simple creation of mine out of it.
And oh, I'm alive! (though some of my plans ruined huhu)
I've been busy with summer stuff and my sophomore year admission in law school.
Oh life! I miss everyone... XD
Playing around with colours and patterns... and eating some sweets...

Kis csapatunk korcsolyázni volt a Corvin Áruház tetején. Kicsi a pálya, de legalább ingyen van. Utána ettünk és ittunk kedvünkre, majd Schubert: C-dúr mise próbán vettünk részt a Bosnyák téren. Előadás holnap este hatkor a Bosnyákon, gyertek, még az is lehet hogy jó lesz! :) Plakát itt.
Having visited this dockyard in August 2017, it brought back many memories for me having sailed out from there in 1963 on H.M.S. Venus to the Azores. I was then a Cook in the Royal Navy serving at H.M.S Ganges in Suffolk. It was a cold winter day then and I was over the side of the ship scrubbing it clean before we sailed. Arriving at the entrance it was a bit disconcerting to see the queues of people waiting to get in. The queue took 40 minutes to allow where I was to arrive at the ticket gate. A bag search told me I was to leave my Monopod with them for safe keeping at the ticket office. This also applies to Tripods for camera equipment so remember this.
The first ship you see is the H.M.S Warrior on the left hand side dock. This ship was the fastest, largest and most powerful warship in the world when she was launched. Such was her reputation that enemy fleets were intimidated by her obvious supremacy and deterred from attacking Britain at sea although she never fired a shot in anger. HMS Warrior was a 40 gun steam powered armoured frigate built for the Royal Navy. She was the name ship of the Warrior-class ironclads. Warrior and her sister ship HMS Black Prince were the first armour-plated, iron-hulled warships, and were built in response to France's launching in 1859 of the first ocean-going ironclad warship, the wooden-hulled Gloire. Warrior conducted a publicity tour of Great Britain in 1863 and spent her active career with the Channel Squadron. On board HMS Warrior which was launched in 1860, Britain’s first iron-hulled, armoured battleship. The ship is powered by steam and sail and was the largest, fastest and most powerful warship of her day and had a lasting influence on naval architecture and design. Work and life on board reflected both the changes the Royal Navy experienced as it evolved into a professional service and shifts in Victorian society.Built to encounter the latest of the French ships, Warrior was, in her time, the ultimate sea warrior. Yet by creating a new era in naval technology, she very soon became outdated. After 22 years’ service, Warrior’s hull was to be used as a depot, floating school and an oil jetty. Painstakingly restored in Hartlepool and then back home to Portsmouth since 1987, Warrior is a unique survivor of the once formidable Victorian Navy and now serves as a museum ship, visitor attraction, popular private hire venue and more. HMS Warrior was rescued in the 1980’s, restored and brought back home to Portsmouth and is owned by Warrior Preservation Trust, an independent charity. Sadly, time has it taken its toll and today she is in a sorry state - her bulwarks, which keep her watertight, have failed and are deteriorating to a point which places her at significant risk.
Next ship I saw was H.M.S. Victory is a 104-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, ordered in 1758, laid down in 1759 and launched in 1765. She is best known for her role as Lord Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. She additionally served as Keppel's flagship at Ushant, Howe's flagship at Cape Spartel and Jervis's flagship at Cape St Vincent. After 1824, she was relegated to the role of harbour ship. In 1922, she was moved to a dry dock at Portsmouth, England, and preserved as a museum ship. She has been the flagship of the First Sea Lord since October 2012 and is the world's oldest naval ship still in commission. This the world’s most famous warship HMS Victory is crumbling under her own weight. An 18-month programme to bring this historic ship back to its original condition. H.M.S. Victory has been sitting in dry dock in Portsmouth since 1922 supported by 22 steel cradles positioned at six metre intervals. It has been well recorded that the 252 year old ship is collapsing ( so to speak ) under her own weight and following a detailed laser scan of 89.25 billion measurements and computer modelling, a new support system has been designed to record how the ship would sit in water.
The Mary Rose Museum is run by the Mary Rose Trust. The construction has been a challenge because the museum has been built over the ship in the dry dock, which is now a listed monument. During construction of the museum, conservation of the hull continued inside a sealed hotbox. In April 2013, the polyethylene glycol sprays were turned off and the process of controlled air drying began. In 2016 the hotbox walls were removed and after reopening on 20 July 2016 the ship is currently on display behind glass. This new museum displays most of the artefacts recovered from within the ship in context with the conserved hull. Since the opening it has been visited by over a million people. The museum is dedicated to the 16th century Tudor navy warship Mary Rose as well as the historical context in which she was active. The museum opened in 1984.T he Mary Rose is a Tudor ship that was built in 1510. In service for 34 years, it sank in 1545 and then discovered in 1971 and was raised in 1982.
Another ship I went to visit was HMS M.33 which is the only sole remaining British veteran of the bloody Dardanelles Campaign of 1915-1916, and also the Russian Civil War which followed. The ship is one of just three British warships from World War I still in existence. HMS M.33 was built in 1915 on the orders of the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill. She was a floating gun platform designed to bombard coastal positions from the sea. Her first active operation was the support of the British landings at Suvla during the Battle of Gallipoli in August 1915. She remained stationed at Gallipoli until the evacuation in January 1916. She served in the Mediterranean for the remainder of the War and was involved in the seizure of the Greek fleet at Salamis Bay in 1916.
In the dockyard you will find many other attractions and museums along with various shops catering for items of interest connected to this historic site.
One million Nigerien children under five - more than 1 in 4 - are at high risk of acute malnutrition in 2013. ECHO field experts carry out a monitoring of Concern Worlwide programmes in Tahoua district. The NGO provides support to the district hospital of Tahoua in order to improve care for severely undernourished children. It also helps run integrated nutrition and health care services at the community level, often in remote villages hardest hit by drought and increased food prices.

Now in Japan, "One Cup"(Sake sold in a cup) is popular as they have fare price and it's easy to try many different kinds in this way.
Here I found the special event selling these one cups in Tachikawa(TOKYO) so brought back to our home.... as we have so many Sake lovers at home! hahaha*
Almost isolated seclusion from this angle, no signs of the visitors centre, car park and other associated eyesores.
No puedo acordarme de nada
No sé si esto es verdad o un sueño
Muy dentro de mí me apetece gritar
Este silencio terrible me lo impide
Ahora que la guerra a acabado conmigo
Me estoy despertando, no puedo ver
Que no queda gran cosa de mí
Nada es real mas que el dolor ahora
Aguanto la respiración mientras deseo la muerte
Oh dios por favor, despiértame...

Antonio Guzman Lopez's One Year Angelversary
Saturday, February 21at 2:00pm - 5:00pm - San Jose, California
What's Justice4Josiah?
(Description from Justice4Josiah's Facebook page)
"Justice for Josiah is a San Jose/Santa Clara County based campaign struggling for resolution, prevention, justice and healing for the communities, families and victims of police violence, abuse and murder. We are centered around the love we have for one another, not a hatred of those whose aim seems to only be doing our communities, our families and our loved ones harm.
If you have info on the case or want to reach us directly -
email: justice4josiah[at]riseup.net
A note from Laurie:
"Justice for Josiah" is about the Love and Pain I feel for my son Josiah who is only 4 who no longer has his Father Antonio Lopez.
This tragedy has hurt Josiah, my daughter Angelique, whom Antonio raised since she was 3, his Parents in Nayarit, family members, a community and myself as well.
I believe God has chosen me to endure this pain because he knows I am strong, and will not fight for Justice with the hate, anger or negativity life has thrown at me, but with the Love I have for my kids and family, with the Passion I've always had in me to defend those who don't know how or afraid to defend themselves.
As a Community who not only seeks Justice for Josiah, but for past victims... we need to manage our Thoughts and Emotions and NOT ALLOW them to be Dictated by the Negative and Hostile Environment Created by the Police and Justice System.
We need to put to use the Ability to endure these tragedies, at the hands of these Cops and Never give up or Surrender our struggle for what's RIGHT!
As a Community, we can not only Achieve "Justice for Josiah", but also for past families of victims of police brutality, murder and injustice and strive to prevent future families from having to suffer these senseless beatings, murders by Cops who are suppose to "Protect and Serve".
Killing is Killing, Badge or No Badge, it's WRONG!
THOU SHALL NOT KILL, is one of the Ten Commandments.
God Bless everyone who has been by my side showing support, love encouragement and guidance.
You are all truly Angels sent in disguise to me, Josiah and Angelique and we are so thankful for all of you!
We will overcome!

The September 12, 2010 Baker's Restaurant Sunday Cruise-in near Milford, Michigan.
The owner said something about the Doug's headers, but I don't remember what he said. This is the 413 Max Wedge engine, which was replaced by the 423 Hemi in 1963.
I'm still in Jersey until next thursday.
Feeling lonely.
Thank god for phone & internet (& friends, cycling, beer, cinema etc...)
Missing Eva greatly.
Even all those little annoying habits...

"Only one thing concerns me: Be sure that you live in a way that brings honor to the Good News of Christ. Then whether I come and visit you or am away from you, I will hear that you are standing strong with one purpose, that you work together as one for the faith of the Good News," -Phillipians 1:27 (NCV)
another tiny 3 x 5. done for a cropping project. i know there are shoes in the top left corner, but the crpped version print is very noticeably imperfect, with watermarks and scratches, so i'm not putting it up.
the watermarks and scratches on the hair are bugging me.
