... as brankingston12 reminded me about two months ago.
This is a framegrab from the same Sony DCR-TRV130, captured at proper widescreen aspect ratio, just downsized a bit. (Captured it in Pinnacle Studio 12, because it doesn't squeeze the image like XP's video capture does.)
Anyway... Why my sudden obsession with my nails the last few months?
Call it jealousy... call it an experiment of sorts (since the last photo was labeled such)... call it just seeing if I could do it, and how long I can get away with it before I'm forced to trim them.
Actually, I think they're a good length as they are now. I can still type fairly decent, and fast, with them at this length. (A slight impact on speed and accuracy, but nothing I can't manage.)
How did I achieve this? Perserverance.
Up until about September 2009, I had been an avid nail-biter for most of my life. It was so bad that my cuticles were a wreck, with rampant hangnails and such. Somehow, I managed to discipline myself enough to stop biting them. (Hopefully for good!)
The other secret? Care for them. I'm a self-taught "Black Jack-of-all-trades", so I stocked up on the basics - Emery boards, salon boards, clippers, 6-way buffers, orange sticks, etc.
Here's a true story from about two hours ago (About 1800 PDT when it happened, posted this at 2011 PDT) when I picked up my car from one of the local tire and brake shops. One of the guys at the sales counter noticed, and remarked "Those are some shiny nails." - I simply acknowledged it, but didn't comment further. ^_^;
(And for the curious - Yes, I used clear nail polish. Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Plus "02 Base + Top Coat" - Laugh if you must, but it does work for adding strength and a bit of shine. I can put up with the "plastic coating" feeling, but at least they're not as brittle as they would be usually.) - Clear coat only - no colors were added.
Other than that, I just file them and shape them every week or so. I'll probably take them down about 2-3 mm and semi-square the edges a bit.
"And now you know.... The REST of the story!"
I was planning on making covers for my new Shootsac but wasn't looking forward to spending a lot of time making them. My flickr contact Amy has made her own and said Pier 1's placemats are almost perfectly sized. Boy was she right! All I had to do was trim a few inches off the top, hem it up, and add some velcro. I hit the clearance rack and it cost me about $20 (the velcro cost the same amount as the placemats!) all together and I have 3 new covers for less than the price of 1!!
I am so proud of me! I HATED sewing in home ec (I remember having to sew a pillow and finally throwing it across our dining room and stomping up to my bedroom to cry - I was homeschooled). This time around, the sewing machine and I had a few arguments and I had to call my mom to rescue me, but in the end I won out :D.

one of my fav winter birds. i luv hearing their "seet" calls and occasional renditions of their sweetly whistled "ol' Sam Peabody" ("oh sweet Canada" for our northern neighbors) song in winter. White-throateds come in two color morphs, "tan stripe" and "white stripe" which refers to the stripe above the eye. this is a tan morph, there's also a white morph in my sparrows set. interestingly, white-stripes pair with tan stripes (and vice versa) to breed and raise young, and there appear to be behavioral differences between the two forms, and between the sexes of the two forms. so much to learn, so little time... ;)
lots of folks refer to winter sparrows as LBJs (little brown jobs) as they're small birds, predominately brown, and in winter usually stay down in dead/dormant brush/vegetation, offering brief views even when they pop up to see what's going on. with a bit of perserverance however, an observer will come to see sparrows are quite beautiful little birds with intricate plumage patterns that afford them excellent camoflage in their preferred habitats. ;)
'Famine' (1997) was commissioned by Norma Smurfit and presented to the City of Dublin in 1997. The sculpture is a commemorative work dedicated to those Irish people forced to emigrate during the 19th century Irish Famine. The bronze sculptures were designed and crafted by Dublin sculptor Rowan Gillespie and are located on Custom House Quay in Dublin's Docklands. This location is a particularly appropriate and historic as one of the first voyages of the Famine period was on the 'Perserverance' which sailed from Custom House Quay on St. Patrick's Day 1846. Captain William Scott, a native of the Shetland Isles, was a veteran of the Atlantic crossing, gave up his office job in New Brunswick to take the 'Perserverance' out of Dublin. He was 74 years old. The Steerage fare on the ship was £3 and 210 passengers made the historical journey. They landed in New York on the 18th May 1846. All passengers and crew survived the journey. In June 2007, a second series of famine sculptures by Rowan Gillespie, was unveiled by President Mary McAleese on the quayside in Toronto's Ireland Park to remember the arrival of these refugees in Canada.
Today's VIS image shows part of the northeastern portion of Jezero Crater. The Perserverance Rover is located on the northwestern part of the crater - near a delta deposit formed by the influx of silt laden water into the crater at a time during Mars' past that was wetter. The crater most likely hosted a lake for a period of time. The channel at the top of this image was formed by the flow of water exiting the crater.
This martian scene spans 18 x 66 kilometers (11 x 41 miles). To see where on Mars this area lies, and to download high-resolution versions of the image go to themis.asu.edu/zoom-20220527a

This Mendocino, California landmark sits atop the cupola of the former Masonic Hall. It was carved from a single piece of redwood trunk and completed in 1880. One given name is "Time And The Maiden" The exact meaning is only known to Masons but one Mason summed up the meaning as "Time, patience and perserverance will accomplish all things" . The building is now occupied by a bank. We noticed a lot of ravens in the area.

My first full shoe. Have always made strappy one's. It took me quite a while to get the correct size and shape of template but the perserverance paid off. The bag is a Chanel one and the shoe is Christian Louboutin. Very happy with the result.

Bumped into Henry and he graciously allowed me to take this photo. In this recent global economic down-turn it is always our least fortunate who suffer the most. Holidays can be stressful and depressing for some. This photo reminds me of how fortunate I am despite my challenges. I also see Henry's fine example here as proof that we can overcome adversity with perserverance. Henry played his own rockin' slide guitar cover of 'Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer' here. Can he ever sing, too! Wow. Best Wishes, Henry! Thanks again! More here: www.flickr.com/search/?q=henry&w=14813074@N00

I remember when A Scanner Darkly came out. The trailers looked amazing. I am however, glad I waited for it to come out on DVD, because the movie was a total disappointment. I think I ended up falling asleep twice, on two separate occasions trying to watch it. What I did fall in love with is the visuals in the movie. It was like each character was painted in almost like a very realistic cartoon.
For people who do not do photoshop works or have never attempted it, I assure you, it IS hard work. Some of my more complicated creations have taken upwards of 4 and 5 hours to complete. That doesn't even include the ones, that have taken days because I'll start and come back and work on it later. You really have to be dedicated to your vision in order to make one of these happen. With regular photography you can just snap an image and it works or doesn't, but PS works depend on tiny tiny details all matching up, coming together, to create an illusion of something that does not exist or can't exist in reality. I was told recently by someone in internetlandia that one of my pieces didn't even look all that complicated to do and that they couldn't see the work or effort put in to it. It pissed me off. It did. I wrote back that if it was so easy to do, then everyone would do it like the millions and millions of sunset pictures out there, but this takes time, effort, dedication, perserverance, hard work to transform something in a way that someone has the balls to say, doesn't even look like effort was put in to it.
(Takes deep cleansing breath)
Let me preface this by saying, this is awful. This was my first ever attempt at this, and I am in the process of learning so no judgy faces.
I'm learning to do vector drawing a la a Scanner Darkly. This is me trying to figure it out. Some parts are making more sense than others and of course this is terribly riddled with errors. I've never used Illustrator before, and now, ahhhhhhhhhhh, something else new to learn. It never ends with this medium and that's what I like about it. There are no limits to what you can do. I'm pretty sure there are programs and apps that can do this stuff, but there is nothing satisfying about just plugging it in and having it pop up. You didn't create that, someone else did. They get the credit for their artistic and technological genius.
The hardest thing about vector drawing is unlike my layers here, you have so many different tones to the skin. This was a total cop out in that I just dropper selected one tone en masse, but to really take this effect to its full potential, like paint by numbers, you must really go in, piece by piece and select the true colors and tones of your original image. This is kind of embarressing, because this is a rather simple image color wise, no distractions of background, etc., but this (laughs) is not really turning out the way its supposed to. I'll admit, I skipped like a 100 thousand steps along the way just so I could get a general idea of what the end product would look like, but in order to get this done correctly, you first need to physically draw out each feature for the outline in the rough cut, then draw out the larger features using much more exaggerated line, then go in and create a layer for literally every part of the image---hair, lips, eyes, nose, clothes, background and then break those down to sub layers for each tone. Then manipulate the lines again. It's quite a process, one I'll be working on now with a different image. The hand on the head I think is a bit too much for me, specifically the fingers, in this my first attempt, so maybe on down the road, I'll post one with much much better results.

Race Director of the Gobi March 2005, Ian Adamson, hailed as the world’s best adventure racer, had briefed us that today would be an especially tough day. The course was especially hilly and it was going to be our first real ‘hot’ day. Tough or not, it would turn out to be our favorite day. We loved the variety of terrain – squeezing through slot canyons, running along the top of a razor-sharp ridgeline and charging down scree slopes. It would end with a little taste of the desert sand dunes, which we would get to see a lot more of.
This shot was taken along the ridge nicknamed ‘Disco Ridge’ by the race volunteers. It offered dramatic scenery - a razor-sharp ridgeline, with steep and potentially fatal drop-offs on either side. It was a sight that raised the heart rates of most competitors and scared one competitor into not completing the stage.

Some of the toughest personalities you encounter in business to business telemarketing are gatekeepers. They are usually receptionists who are assigned to screen unwanted calls, and that includes telephone sales people. Gatekeepers stand in the way between you and the decision maker so you have to figure out a way to get past them.
The best way to do that is to make the gatekeeper be your ally. They are the only link to the decision maker so do whatever it takes to get them to your side.
Be nice to them. It is quite easy to be nice and friendly to the gatekeeper. Being friendly should come naturally to you as a telesales professional. Get the gatekeeper's name and address him or her by that name. Write down the name so you won't forget. If the name is somewhat difficult or unfamiliar to you, repeat it phonetically to be accurate. Getting their names correctly and calling them by their names works wonders.
Make gatekeepers feel important by asking for their help. They are programmed to turn away sales people and once they sense that you are one of them, they will try to get rid of you as soon as possible. There is a way to get around this. Treat them in such a way that appeals to their helpful nature. Ask for their help outright and they should lower their guard and try to help you. You can ask: "Can you tell what's the best time to reach ?" A more pleading question would be: "Can you help me send a message through to please?"
Be straight to the point. It is no use trying to mask what your purpose is for calling. Gatekeepers are trained to screen unwanted sales calls and they can easily sense that you are one of them so cut to the chase and get to the point.
Do not underestimate the gatekeeper. They are competent individuals whom the boss has entrusted the job of deciding who they should let through to talk to them. As a trusted employee, they may know the ins and outs of the business more than you might think.
After doing the above suggestions and you still are not getting any headway, thank the gatekeeper and move on to the next prospect. If things didn't turn out the way you wanted it, keep that friendly attitude. You never know where it will get you.
We had started an hour early this morning to try to get the most out of the cooler temperatures of the morning. It would prove to be a wise move. In the afternoon, the temperature would rise to 50 degrees Celsius in the shade. And for any competitor still running out in the Gobi Desert, there is no shade.
