my wonderful package that arrived today from the one and only sara varon (who in my opinion is one of the best comic artists out there today).
Applied to my leg during ankle surgery. The arrow indicates where the cast was opened and re-closed with more fiber tape to remove stitches and check the incision. Why didn't they give me a new cast? They didn't want my ankle to move.
jenny sent david to the store to get panties that sat above her incision...this is what he brought back! don't let a man do a woman's job!

The Liverpool Echo & Daily Post, two local newspapers, held a private viewing for a photograhy exhibition tonight. The exhibition comprises of images
submitted to their Flickr groups & I was fortunate enough to have one of my images selected to be put on display. It was great to see so many excellent photographs & meet the Flickr people behind the viewfinder.
Dejima (Japanese: 出島, "exit island") was a Dutch trading post located in Nagasaki, Japan from 1641 to 1854. Dejima was a small fan-shaped artificial island in the Bay of Nagasaki covering an area of 2.2 acres. Dejima was built in 1634 to house Portuguese traders and separate them from Japanese society by digging a canal through a small peninsula. The Dutch were moved to Dejima in 1641 and during most of the Edo period the island was the single place of direct trade and exchange between Japan and the outside world. Dejima was abolished after the Treaty of Kanagawa in 1854 and the island was later integrated into Nagasaki city through land reclamation. In 1922, the "Dejima Dutch Trading Post" was designated a Japanese national historic site. For more of its history see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dejima - The Dutch East India Company's trading post at Dejima was abolished when Japan concluded the Treaty of Kanagawa with the USA in 1858. This ended Dejima's role as Japan's only window on the Western world during the era of national isolation. Since then, the island was expanded by reclaimed land and merged into Nagasaki. Extensive redesigning of Nagasaki Harbor in 1904 obscured its original location. The original footprint of Dejima Island has been marked by rivets; but as restoration progresses, the ambit of the island will be easier to see at a glance. Dejima today is a work in progress. The island was designated a national historical site in 1922, but further steps were slow to follow. Restoration work was started in 1953, but that project languished. In 1996, restoration of Dejima began with plans for reconstructing 25 buildings in their early 19th-century state. To better display Dejima's fan-shaped form, the project anticipated rebuilding only parts of the surrounding embankment wall that had once enclosed the island. Buildings that remained from the Meiji period were to be used. In 2000, five buildings including the Deputy Factor's Quarters were completed and opened to the public. In the spring of 2006, the finishing touches were put on the Chief Factor's Residence, the Japanese Officials' Office, the Head Clerk's Quarters, the No. 3 Warehouse, and the Sea Gate. Currently some 10 buildings throughout the area have been restored. In 2017, six new buildings as well as the 'Omotemon-bashi Bridge' (the old bridge to the mainland) were restored. The long-term planning intends that Dejima will be surrounded by water on all four sides; its characteristic fan-shaped form and all of its embankment walls will be fully restored. This long-term plan will include large-scale urban redevelopment in the area. To make Dejima an island again will require rerouting the Nakashima River and moving a part of Route 499.

A homemade post so as to "fly" a Glidecam HD 4000 using a Steadicam Merlin Arm & Vest. It is a 12.7mm (0.5") diameter / 200mm (7.87") long stainless steel bolt (typically used for attaching gates to fence posts). I used a couple of pieces of hose to hold a washer in place (the base of the Glidecam handle sits on the washer and not on the Arm). Finally there are two nuts to hold the bolt in place.
