Close-up of the forehead (frons) of a female Twin-spot Centurion Soldierfly (Sargus bipunctatus). I read that the name "bipunctatus" comes from 2 white spots on the frons, just above the antennae. I could find 2 small bumps (protusions, swellings) in that position but not exactly white spots. It was hard to be sure because the surface is quite shiny. Top entomologist Martin Harvey commented, "The white spots on the frons are found on several of the species in this genus, and although they tend to be a bit brighter in bipunctatus they aren't a reliable way of picking out the species. The orange spots on the abdomen pick out female bipunctatus".

The Droug(friend in Russian) is a very interesting design. This seems to be one of these designs where the designer said "Lets see how many different things we can do!". The body is interesting, it is very rectangular with few protusions. The front corners are chamfered while the rear corners are rounded. The combined rangefinder/viewfinder assembly is chromed while the body is black. The body is treated the same as a late model Zorki with black stripes top and bottom and around the lens and the same style fabric. On the right front below the rangefinder window is a small round shiny chrome shutter release button that is threaded for cable release. Below this is the button for the self timer and a stylized self timer lever, both shiny chrome. On the other side of the lens is a small lever that looks like the self timer lever. This serves as the film rewind release. The viewfinder window is contained within a shiny chrome frame. The freme has two sections one containing the view finder window and the other the camera name and a small range finder window. The viewfinder is centered over the lens with the other section to the right. The viewfinder has frames for 50mm and 85 mm lenses that are not parallax correcting. The range finder cam has a wheel on the end and is fixed on the viewfinder end. On the top deck in the left front corner is a semicircular window for the frame counter and there is a wheel pritruding on the left side of the camera for resetting the counter. Next is the shutter speed dial which looks very much like a Zorki dial. The shutter speeds are 30,B,1000,500,250,125,60,15,4,8 and 2. The shutter is a cloth focal plane shutter and the curtains are hidden behind a casting inside the canera. In the center of the top deck is a stamped metal accessory shoe that is made to look as if it were machined. Finally, on the right side of the top deck is a film reminder. On the back of the top deck in the center is a black plasitic viewfinder window with the KMZ prism engraved to the right and two flash jacks. The back is hinged on the left side. Now we come to the bottom of the Droug,where we find a recessed rewindknob and a three Eights tripod recepticle. Centered on the bottom is a chrome folding lever. This lever folds down to become the film advance, moveing aboue 38mm to the left in a slot to advance the film. This film advance is very similar to the Leicavit or the one on the Canon 7. This direction of movement exposes one of the Drougs' other pecularities, the film advances out of the cassette on the right side. The camera also came with a shiny machined aluminum lens cap and lens hood. A black plastic cap to fit the lens hood was also supplied. This camera has a brown everready leather case with chrome trim around the top and bottom. Droug in cyrllic script is within a keystone shaped border and both are embossed into the lens cover.

I saw this magnificent Great Horned Owl glide in and perch on this Saguaro. Everything was against me - sun, lighting, terrain, equipment. But I decided to try for a shot anyway. I had to stalk across open desert and cross an arroyo. As I came out of the arroyo, I started shooting while still stalking. It is virtually impossible to surprise an owl. I did get a few shots, but the owl turned its head 180° and I was busted. So the last shot was the south end of a northbound owl. flickr.com/photos/7202153@N03/2308582723/in/photostream/
I think this owl may have been injured explaining why it was active during daylight. Notice the protusion from the left wing.
In my story about my bad fall where I couldn't get up for two hours, this is where I scooted to in order to have some leverage that might help me get up off the ground. This is where Rose thought it was play time on the ground, and the chickens thought I was lunch. I'll mark some notes on some of the things in the picture. I'll be adding a copy of my true story here in a short while. It is with each photo in this set; so no matter which picture you click on you can read the story.
A longer true story than my usual ones is below the row of asterisks.
*************************************************************************
FALL OCCURRED IN THE SPRING
That’s right; fall occurred in the spring of 2012. Not the kind of fall like a beautiful autumn, but the kind of fall like Humpty Dumpty. The “splat” type of fall, which must have been painful for him. Mine was surely painful for me.
Let me digress a bit. I already have severe arthritis in both of my knees. I was very close to having the Orthopedic Physician’s Assistant refer me to the Orthopedist for knee replacements. The assistant had already seen me for seven to nine visits or so, and a series of Orthovisc® shots, which did not help me. I understand they are a great help to some people, but I wasn‘t one of them. He told me something I was completely unaware of. He said my teeth were bad, which is true. I have upper dentures and only one real tooth in my mouth. The bottom teeth except the one I just mentioned are all rotted away. They didn’t rot completely away; there are still parts of them in and below the gum line. He said they would all have to be surgically extracted before I could have knee replacements done. I asked him, “What do my teeth have to do with my knees?” He said infection can easily set in the rotten teeth and go to the knee or cause problems with my heart, major problems like death. Thus the reader can understand how I arrived at the title for my photo set about my hospital stay…The Knee Bone’s Connected to the Jaw Bone, Huh?
I have been walking around with very painful knees for quite awhile now, and I cannot afford the $1,600 to $2,000 to have my teeth surgically extracted. I already paid a dentist $180 for an appointment and a Panaray® X-Ray, over a year ago, just thinking it would be nice to finally get some lower dentures too. I never did get them. He split town, taking or disposing of his equipment and his files and x-rays. That $180 is long gone for me. I cannot even recover that old x-ray. Even if I did recover it, some new dentist would probably say it was out of date.
Medicare, which I am on, will pay for the two knee replacements, but here is the rub. They will not pay for dental. I have been in a surgical limbo with all the free pain I can stand.
That is the background information probably needed for this little story to be understood. There will be some OMG moments and some laughter. If it were a TV show, they would probably advertise, “You’ll Laugh; You’ll Cry; You’ll Sell Your Chickens; You’ll Call Your Congressman, and You’ll No Doubt Charge Your Cell Phone!”
That brings us to Thursday the 15th of March, 2012. (Beware the Ides of March). My daughter called to see if I could and would watch Rose all day Friday the 16th , as she had forgotten that she had signed up to be chaperone for her daughter, Anna Leigh’s, school field trip. It was going to be quite a bit out of town, the other direction from where I live. It was to be a special day. I wanted to be their hero; so I said sure. Some of you have seen Rose, the Hungarian Vizsla puppy among my photos. Rose is beautiful and young, and strong, and undisciplined and should probably be named Wild Rose. I love her, but she is a major handful. I had already watched her for 8 days while they went on a trip out of state, got one day off and then volunteered to do Friday the 16th.
Rose isn’t housebroken yet; so I took her out several times to encourage her to go outside. I was alone as far as other humans, and my daughter and granddaughter were about 60 miles away, on a school bus and then museum field trip. I live about 60 miles the other way from their home. It had been raining off and on and the ground and grass and driveway and mud were all pretty wet. My other trips outside with Rose that morning had been fine. I only had a thin shirt on, no extra shirt or jacket. I did not think I would be out in the yard very long.
Rose pulled on the leash too exuberantly, as she does often (she is five and a half months old, and has had puppy obedience training, but is in dire need of more of it). I slipped on a muddy and grassy slope. My right leg went out in front of me, and I fell on my rear end. My left leg folded underneath my thigh and toward my rear, and my weight, which is a lot, crunched it. It was bent backward way further than a knee is supposed to bend. I screamed bloody murder. I was afraid to even try to get up, as I thought I had probably torn a ligament or two.
Rose thought it was play time and was all over me. There was not a thing in sight that would give me any leverage to hold me up or to help me get up. I sat and I pondered what to do. My daughter and Anna Leigh would not be home for nearly 6 more hours. I thought, well I’ll just call 911 (the emergency number where we live). Wrong! No cell phone with me. It was inside their house, being charged up; ironically so it would be ready when I needed it.
I tried yelling for help. Nothing! A neighbor about a half an acre away, was mowing, and every time the mower cut off, I tried screaming for help. He must have had headphones on or something. Cars would drive by on the road way down the driveway, and I would yell, but no one had their windows down on that day. Did you know that when you have upper dentures and no lower ones, and you yell really hard, that it blows the upper dentures right out of your mouth? When I tried to hang onto them to keep them in my mouth, I was unable to cry out very loudly. I just thought I would throw that little trivia in. I didn’t know until that day.
I knew I couldn’t make it back in the house. There were too many upward slopes and an exposed aggregate patio and a few stairs. The front of the house was even worse, as it had more stairs. I looked down the driveway and saw a vehicle which had some metal protrusions, on the order of spare tire holder or something like that. I decided to try to scoot on my rear down to that metal thing. I thought perhaps it would give me leverage to get up. Rose thought that it was great fun to romp on and around me.
I thought the four chickens would be afraid to come around Rose. No, they are not very intelligent. They came right up to me and Rose and started pecking on me. I had never been pecked on by chickens before, and there I was on the ground with no help and Rose alternating between trying to attack the chickens and trying to play with me. Rose’s playfulness sort of resembles an attack, anyway. I scooted faster, much faster.
There was a light rain, but it was getting a little heavier. There was also a dusting of snow mixed with the rain. I was wondering how long it would take to get Exposure. I was wondering about Shock also. Can a person who has Exposure or Shock know that they have it? Ominous looking clouds were blowing quickly toward me. It was 1:30 P. M. when I fell. I didn’t have my phone, but I had my watch.
I scooted methodically toward the vehicle closest to me. I think it was about 100 feet. I got to it, and thought if worse came to worse with the weather, I could roll under the back of it. I did not relish thought of cold dark ground and spiders, but thought it might be better to risk them than the weather. I saw some wide strapping tape on the spare tire, which was loose. I didn’t want to risk hoisting myself up on the spare and its frame, as it was quite loose. But I took the tape and wrapped it around the metal thing that was separate from the spare tire things, and made it softer for my arm to lean on. I tried to prop myself up. No use; I fell back down. Not enough leverage. I put Rose’s leash handle on the trailer hitch. I didn’t want to just let her run free and maybe get hit by a car.
I tried again to get up and made it to both knees. It hurt so badly I went back down again. I noticed the license plate on the vehicle renewed on the ninth month of 2011. That said 911. I thought, “Oh yeah right, you inanimate license plate. Go ahead and taunt me! You know I can’t call 911.” I got a chuckle out of my own joke, and gave myself a figurative pat on the back for being resourceful about trying to get up.
I tried again. I got on both knees but the right one was in gravel that really hurt. Then I thought which knee should I put forward and which one should I try to rise on. I tried one, and it didn’t seem as if it would work so I tried the other way. That wasn’t the right way either. Finally I tried the first way again. I told myself on the count of three I would stand up, even if it hurt excruciatingly, I would scream but I would still get up. False start! Down again! I tried again and got up. I was standing!
Now was the problem of how to go anywhere, not knowing if my left knee would buckle at any time. I thought I had to try. I spotted my own truck further down the driveway, and decided to try to make it to it. I walked between two vehicles very carefully and slowly and got to my truck. I unlocked it with the remote key which I had in my pocket. After 11 years of driving it, the seat is pretty well conformed to me; so I didn’t have to bend my knees to sit down in it. I just leaned into the seat and put my relatively good right leg in. It was painful to bend my left knee to get it in the truck, but I did. Rose was still tied to a trailer hitch further back in the yard, but she was safe.
I looked at my watch. It was 3:30 P. M. It took me two hours to stand up and to get to some degree of safety and warmth. I could drive, as my truck is automatic. I drove down the road to a house that Anna had pointed out was where a schoolmate lived. I thought I could ask them to go in my daughter’s house and get my cell phone for me. There was a very large barking dog in the driveway, and no sign of humans, and the mother of the schoolmate has never even met me. I decided to go back to Jennifer’s home.
I found a cane in my truck that a charity, a different one than the one later in my story, had given me a few months ago. It is not a very sturdy one, but better than nothing. I did not use it on a regular basis. I used the hook end of it to fetch a large stick lying near the driveway (larger than a normal hiking stick). I pulled it to me, and stood back up out of the truck and used the big stick and the cane and balanced against two vehicles, and decided to try to get back in the house. I did. I got in the recliner and pulled a blanket up over me and slept until they got home.
After they got home, we all decided to go to the nearest Emergency room. It was a Friday night by then, and no normal doctor’s hours. We went to one closest to them, but it was still about 27 miles or so. They checked me out and did an x-ray. I told the Physician’s assistant nurse type lady about my knee history. She was fun and nice and caring and a little bit of a comedienne. She said that my left knee was really “ratty” looking on the x-ray. I laughed, because I’m sure it was. I have just never, in all my doctor visits ever had a nurse refer to one of my body parts as “ratty”. I suspect it is not a medical term. They said I sprained my knee, and gave me some medical records to take up to the emergency room (or my doctor) closer to where I live, seventeen miles from my home, the other direction from Jen & Anna. I wanted to be closer to the doctors and hospital that I know. I was given a prescription similar to Vicodin. Someone kindly pointed out that Walgreen’s was visible about a block away and their drive-thru was open. At that point I was still getting around by hobbling and by leaning on Jennifer. So I sat in a chair and she and Anna and Rose drove over to Walgreen’s . It seems as if it took a long time for them get the prescription filled.
While I was sitting there waiting, a employee came out to the lobby with clipboard in hand and asked if I were the lady with an injured knee. I replied that I was. She said, OK, come with me and we’ll have you see a triage. I thought it odd that I had already been seen and now they wanted to start all over again. I told her I had already been seen and x-rayed and all. It turned out there was another lady in the waiting room with an injured knee. It probably would have blown the Physician’s Assistant’s mind if I had played dumb and gone through everything again, and then told her when she looked shocked, “I’m coming through again; and this time don’t call my knee “ratty! Funny to imagine, but not a good idea.
Finally, my daughter and granddaughter returned to the hospital waiting room. Jennifer had forgotten her checkbook. So back they went and then it turned out, Jennifer couldn’t sign for my prescription, and she didn‘t have my insurance information. Thus, we all drove back over there. I was in line ahead of Jen‘s car. I told the pharmacist that my window did not go down well on the driver’s side, and I could not reach the pills in the drawer. So I would give him paperwork and cards he needed, but to please leave the pills themselves in the slide-out drawer. I said my daughter was right behind me and her window worked; and she would pick them up with my permission. Walgreen’s closed at 10 P. M. and it was about 9:57 P. M. Finally she got the pain pills in the drawer, but when we got out of Walgreen’s I flagged her down to stop and be sure to give me the pills to have with me before we forgot. Jennifer got them and handed them over to me. We laughed about how, at that time of night, it looked for the entire world like some sort of illegal drug deal.
We tried to go out for dinner, and the restaurant we chose put the closed sign in their front window as we were approaching. That always makes one feel so welcome, not!
Saturday, I rested, and then Sunday they took me to Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center. I had called my normal doctor, and he was out of the country (probably on some Doctors without Borders type thing). He participates in many good will efforts. The doctor filling in for him said to go to the Emergency Room. So I did, and they did an MRI, and I had torn the meniscus in my left knee. I ended up in the hospital for 8 days. No surgery was done to repair anything, because of the dental situation. But I got a walker, and some really nice nurses and physical therapy. I saw all kinds of doctors, and Home Health care people, and Senior and Disabled specialists. They must have taken my blood pressure 100 times, it seems. They always seem surprised that it is very good.
Anna Leigh, who is seven years old, threw a coin in the Hospital Fountain and made good wishes for me. She is such a sweetie. My daughter helped to clean up my place so when I went home the walker would fit through the rooms. I don’t know what I do without Jen and Anna. The first few days out of the hospital, I taught Anna how to play Monopoly, and she and Jennifer and I also did puzzles. There were some quality family moments. At one point I was eating a chip or cracker of some kind with my right hand, and trying to place a puzzle piece with my left hand. I got absentminded and stuck the puzzle piece in my mouth. I realized what I had done because the food tasted like cardboard. I took it out of my mouth. Anna about went into hysterics over it. I was laughing too. Anna’s Daddy called Jen about that time, and wanted to know what the laughter was all about. Anna wrote a note to show her Mom so her Mom could tell her Dad what happened. She spelled it phonetically, as she is only in first grade. I think she does really well, but Jen and I cracked up over how much Anna was laughing and over what she wrote. She wrote, “My grandmuther ate a pussel pees.” It looked substantially nastier than it was. Jen and I were cracking up about the note. Anna thought we were still laughing about the event itself, not the note. In any case, we all had some great belly laughs. Since the belly bone is no doubt connected to the brain bone and the knee bone, I think it was very healthy for us.
At first a physical therapist helped me in the hospital with a walker and with some small steps. After a few days, I could roam around the hallways on my own with the walker. At that point I took my camera. As I was practicing with my walker I took a number of pictures. I tried very hard to only shoot artsy type things and nothing about any patients or doctors that would invade their privacy. I had a bulletin board in my room just about me. I wrote “Exemplary Patient Award” on the comments. I wanted to see if it would make the nurses laugh. I thought it was funny to give myself an award. I enjoy making people laugh. I was curious if they would erase it, but it was still there when I was discharged.
I graduated from the walker to a cane yesterday. A home health physical therapist came to see how I was doing, and brought me a very colorful cane. I like it. It suits me, and it is brand new. There is a charity in my area called Love, Inc. I don’t know if it is just local or nationwide. Anyway, they gave him the cane to bring to me. Really super! Of course, I need to take a photo of it, and add it to this set. I’ll probably do that in the daylight.
I am still in surgical limbo, but a charity is going to come out and install grab bars on my shower, and still another charity will build up my recliner (which I sleep in) with a platform so it will be easier to get in and out of. It was suggested that I donate enough to cover the cost of the supplies but not the labor. I will probably make a donation, but I haven’t decided how much yet. I’m going to call my Congressman to see if something can be done about covering some dental procedures. I know him personally. He collects vintage cars, and has at least one Dodge and well over 10 Buicks. When I had a hubcap store, he would drop by and buy hubcaps for some of them. We would chat about politics, and automobiles, and high rent, etc. He probably won‘t be able to help, but I feel I have to try. Not just for me, but for a multitude of people.
I’ll close with a quote, although I don’t know who said it, “Be True to your Teeth and they will Never be False to You.” and “That is the Tooth, the whole Tooth, and Nothing but the Tooth.”

They're meant to be that size. Yup. And that fountain of pus that's stuck your knees together - perfectly normal.
Don't worry about those flamingo-shaped protusions from your elbows either - I hear that's just a temporary side effect from eating particulalry knobbly gherkins... almost certainly.
Anyway.. if maybe you'd like to er, just step outside, I've er... got some... er...

Now we come to the bottom of the Droug,where we find a recessed rewindknob and a three Eights tripod recepticle. Centered on the bottom is a chrome folding lever. This lever folds down to become the film advance, moveing aboue 38mm to the left in a slot to advance the film. This film advance is very similar to the Leicavit or the one on the Canon 7. This direction of movement exposes one of the Drougs' other pecularities, the film advances out of the cassette on the right side. The camera also came with a shiny machined aluminum lens cap and lens hood. A black plastic cap to fit the lens hood was also supplied. This camera has a brown everready leather case with chrome trim around the top and bottom. Droug in cyrllic script is within a keystone shaped border and both are embossed into the lens cover.

by Jean Loup Princelle:
The Droog, with its trigger wind "a la Leicavit" under the bottom plate and its 39mm screw thread lensmount was strongly inspired by the Leica and maybe the Canon VT (1957). Thus it qualifies as a "Leica Copy". Primarily however, the DROOG is KMZ's answer to the GOMZ Leningrad, even though it was never as successful as its predecessor.

He aquí una muy llamativa cámara por su diseño e interesante desde el punto de vista técnico. Es la Mercury II de medio fotograma producida en 1945.
Empezando por su aspecto, diré que presenta una singular protusión que en forma de semicírculo o medialuna, emerge de su pletina superior y que se acompaña de unas placas metálicas –posterior y anterior - grabadas con una guía de profundidad de foco.
Este extraño diseño alberga un obturador de disco rotatorio que gira según sea la velocidad elegida en uno de los botones frontales, pudiendo fijar velocidades de 1/20 s a 1/1000 s + B y T.
Su objetivo es un Universal Tricor de 35 mm y f/2,7 a f/16 (revestido en el caso de la Mercury II mostrada) con enfoque de 0,5 m hasta infinito.
La cámara es de medio formato, esto es, capaz de producir 65 exposiciones verticales de 18x24 sobre película perforada de 35 mm.
Su cuerpo está construido con una aleación de aluminio y manganeso recubierto parcialmente de piel sintética, el visor es del tipo galileo, dispone de zapata para conexión y sincronización de flash y en su parte posterior muestra una guía en forma de disco practicable con útil información sobre exposiciones.
Una muy interesante y singular cámara con ya más de sesenta y cinco años de historia en su haber.

Result of a thundercloud passing over Luton. As the energy in the cloud decreases, so parts of it sink down causing the bulbous protusions. They were caught in the evening light.
The other day I stood contemplating in Nagasaki at the Hypocentre above which the infamous plutonium bomb exploded on August 9, 1945 (see my former photo of Urakami Cathedral). The memorial is surrounded by a wealth of trees and very green grass. This would have been incongruous to anyone in 1945, for the pessimistic prediction then was that nothing would be able to grow here for 75 years. But Nature is a Phenomenon all its own and has remarkable powers of regeneration. As a lover of small wildflowers I got on my knees in the grass to have a better look. Indeed, I saw a multitude of little beauties. Among them Mazus pumilus - Dwarf Mazus, earlier called by our Carl Per Thunberg (1743-1828) Lindernia japonica. This pretty little flower went by other names as well and it wasn't until 1958 that the great Dutch botanist of East Asia Cornelis Gijsbert Gerrit Jan van Steenis (1901-1986) clarified all and gave the final - inasmuch as anything in science is 'final' - description. He named it Mazus pumilus. The name means more or less 'Dwarf Teat', with reference to the breast-like appearance of the two protusions on the flower's lip. (As for Greenlapwing's much appreciated remark: the Dutch-German botanist Friedrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel [1811-1871], didn't as far as I know use the name 'Mazus'; he called our Mazus 'Vandellia japonica'.)
As I was looking at the Hypocentre Mazus, I'd noted indeed that it and those around did justice to the adjective 'dwarf'. Elsewhere I'd seem them larger. Moreover, I didn't get a postable shot.
Still in the grip of the awfulness of war, I left Nagasaki and today walked on the banks of the Shirakawa River here in Kumamoto. To my delight I soon saw Mazus again. This time about twice the size (some 6 by 8 mm.) of the Hypocentre ones. And this photo is acceptable...
After lumping my car up on a narrow space beside a rather busy road and wandering nervously through someones garden anticipating a 'get orrf my land' I found this rather strange looking painted concrete smothered church. I am not usually a fan of such finishes, St Augustines of Hippo is my most disliked finish, even though that one has the illuminated cross atop its tower that as a lad I would spy from a long way off, because it meant we were on our way to Felixstowe for a brilliant day out, what am I rambling on about! Oh yes Chelsworth Church, I didn't expect too much because of the render, but once inside I changed my tune. There is a bit of everything in here, outside there was a nasty protusion!, inside it turned out to be an interesting tomb canopy. There are lots of memorials to victims of many different wars/campaigns, the latest being Afghanistan 2010. My favorite piece was a simple little barrel presented to the kids of Sunday School Easter 1901. And there is a doom painting too, no comment!!
Deep Water Bay is a bay on the southern shore of Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong. The bay is surrounded by Shouson Hill, Brick Hill, Violet Hill and Middle Island.
Beneath the hill of Violet Hill is a beach, Deep Water Bay Beach. The bay is reachable by Island Road, a road connecting Repulse Bay and Wong Chuk Hang.
From deep water bay you can see Ocean Park
Ocean Park Hong Kong, is a marine mammal park, oceanarium, animal theme park and amusement park, situated in Wong Chuk Hang and Nam Long Shan in the Southern District of Hong Kong. It is, together with Hong Kong Disneyland, one of the two large theme parks in Hong Kong. Opened in 1977 by the then Governor of Hong Kong Sir Murray MacLehose, Ocean Park has grown to over 80 attractions and rides after the completion of a HK$5.5 billion Master Redevelopment Plan (MRP) begun in 2005, making it one of the world’s best marine-based theme parks.
Covering an area of 91.5 hectares (226 acres), the park is separated by a large mountain into two areas, The Summit (Headland) and The Waterfront (Lowland). These areas can be reached by a 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) cable car system, or the Ocean Express funicular railway. As the Headland comprises several hills, visitors can also opt to use Hong Kong's second longest outdoor escalator.
The theme park currently has a wide array of attractions and rides, including 4 roller coasters, and also animal exhibits with different themes, such as a giant panda habitat, a jelly fish and Chinese sturgeon aquarium, as well as a world-class aquarium featuring the world's largest aquarium dome which displays more than 5,000 fish. Between 1979 and 1997, Ocean Park was most famous for its signature killer whale, Miss Hoi Wai.

JUH-1H 74-22459 of the National Training Centre Aviation Company seen at Barstow-Dagget airfield, Ca in April 1999. The protusion at the front was designed to make it look a little more like an Mi-24 Hind gunship.
Don't think that the JUH-1H designation is due to the nose mod. According to wikipedia, JUH-1Hs were Hueys that had rotating radars underneath, so maybe this machine was one of those in a previous life?
Conceived in 1970, Joan Miró’s Personnage was one of the crowning achievements of the artist’s late career. Though it is painting that he is more known for and that took up the majority of his lifetime, Miró believed that what he did in the age-old medium was more ‘conventional’ as compared to his three-dimensional forms. It was only in sculpture that he could ‘create a truly phantasmagoric world of living monsters.’ Personnage, a potent but whimsical Neolithic god, with its massive head, bold protusion in the lower belly organ and curvilinear striations mapping the figure’s sexual organs, illustrates Miró’s metamorphic understanding of what he termed humankind’s ‘true reality. 1970 [Christie's]

Yes, I am huge! I'm actually 32 weeks, 5 days in this shot. BJ is constantly chuckling over how I'm all baby. Everything else is normal except for this round, hard protusion from my abdomen. I feel fortunate for that. I am normally so self-conscious about my body, but since I am still able to see the real/normal/smaller me underneath this belly it helps. I can certainly understand how women can get really down as these changes occur.
A commenter asked a while back what happened to the "always the same outfit" idea. I chuckled when i read that, mostly at myself. What happened? I'm pregnant! Do I really want to see how my waist band gets all scrunched and my t-shirt doesn't cover my stomach, preserved forever? I live it everyday, man. This will have to do.

Dionaea es un género monotípico de planta carnívora en la familia Droseraceae.
La atrapamoscas es una pequeña planta cuya estructura está formada por una roseta de 4 a 7 hojas que surgen de un corto tallo subterráneo de forma bulbosa. Cada tallo alcanza una altura máxima de entre 3 a 10 cm, dependiendo de la época del año, las hojas más largas con trampas robustas se forman normalmente después de la floración. Las plantas que tienen más de 7 hojas son colonias formadas por rosetas que se han dividido subterráneamente.
La única especie Dionaea muscipula, de nombre común dionea atrapamoscas o Venus atrapamoscas, atrapa presas vivas - principalmente insectos y arácnidos.
Su estructura de captura está formada por la porción terminal de cada hoja dividida en dos lóbulos que contiene tres diminutos pelos sensitivos sobre la superficie interna. Cuando la posible presa hace contacto con uno de estos pelos la trampa se activa, pero solo se cierra si el contacto se repite en cualquiera de ellos dentro de los siguientes veinte segundos. Este requisito del doble contacto es un sistema de seguridad para evitar el desperdicio de energía en caso de que el objeto atrapado no tenga ningún valor nutritivo.
La pala de la hoja se divide en dos regiones: un peciolo plano de forma acorazonada con capacidad de fotosíntesis y un par de lóbulos abisagrados en la vena central que constituyen la hoja verdadera y forman la trampa. La cara superior de estos lóbulos contiene pigmentos rojos de antocianina y sus bordes segregan mucílago. Los lóbulos muestran un movimiento vegetal rápido, cerrándose de golpe cuando son estimulados por la presa. El mecanismo de captura se activa cuando la presa hace contacto con uno de los tres tricomas en forma de pelo que se encuentran en el haz de cada uno de los lóbulos. Este mecanismo es tan especializado que puede distinguir entre presas vivas y estímulos diversos como gotas de agua;3 en el caso de que sea una presa, esta debe tocar dos de los pelos en un intervalo de 20 segundos o solo uno dos veces en rápida secuencia, tras lo cual los lóbulos se cierran en unos 0,1 segundos. Los bordes están festoneados por protusiones parecidas a pelos o cilios que se entrelazan y evitan que la presa escape. Estas protusiones y los pelos disparadores o pelos sensitivos, son probablemente homólogos a los tentáculos de su pariente cercano Drosera. Aunque los científicos no conocen con exactitud la historia evolutiva de la Venus atrapamoscas algunas hipótesis apuntan que podría haber evolucionado a partir de Drosera.
Los huecos que quedan entre los cilios permiten escapar a las presas pequeñas, supuestamente porque el beneficio que obtendría de ellos sería menor que el coste de digerirlos. En este caso, la trampa se abrirá en 12 horas, pero si la presa no escapara sino que continuara moviéndose en el interior de la trampa, ésta se cierra por completo y la digestión comienza más rápidamente.
La velocidad de cierre puede variar, dependiendo de la cantidad de humedad, luz, tamaño de la presa y las condiciones generales de cultivo. La velocidad a la que se cierra la trampa se puede utilizar como indicador de la salud general de una planta. D. muscipula no es dependiente de la humedad, como lo son algunas otras plantas carnívoras, como Nepenthes, Cephalotus, la mayoría de Heliamphora y algunas especies de Drosera.
Esta especie muestra variaciones en la forma y longitud del peciolo y si la hoja yace plana sobre la tierra o se yergue en un ángulo de alrededor de 40-60 grados. Las cuatro formas principales son: 'typica', la más común, con anchos peciolos decumbentes; 'erecta', con hojas en un ángulo de 45 grados; 'linearis', con peciolos estrechos y hojas a 45 grados y 'filiformis', con peciolos extremadamente estrechos o lineales. Excepto 'filiformis', las otras tres pueden ser fases de la producción foliar de cualquier planta, dependiendo de la estación (decumbente en verano versus corta versus semi-erecta en primavera), la duración del fotoperiodo (peciolos largos en primavera versus cortos en verano) y la intensidad de la luz (peciolos anchos con poca luminosidad versus estrechos con más).
Cuando se cultivan a partir de semilla, la planta tarda de 4 a 5 años en alcanzar la madurez y vivirá durante 20 a 30 años si se cultiva en las condiciones adecuadas.
Amazingly this is a CCTV camera in London, protected from the pigeons by a porcupine of long flexible protusions. I think it makes a great offbeat shot.
underside of the mould, the circular protusions keep the flexible tray flat. After taking this photo I filled the tray with water to make my first batch of icecubes - they will be big - only 1 per glass will be needed!
Bentheim Castle (German: Burg Bentheim) is an early medieval hill castle in Bad Bentheim, Lower Saxony, Germany. The castle is first mentioned in the 11th century under the name binithem.
The castle is built on a protrusion of Bentheim sandstone, which not only provided building materials for the castle itself, but was also a valued export product. This Bentheimer Höhenrücken is the last protusion of the nearby Teutoburger forest. Its elevated position in an otherwise very flat landscape, provides an excellent view and thus a strategic location to build a castle.
The earliest history of the castle, which was erected on the remains of an earlier refuge castle is largely unknown. In the registries of Werden Abbey (1050) the castle is mentioned, as Binedheim, in and contributes grain, honey and 2 solidi. A document from 1020 names Otto von Northeim as the owner of the castle. In 1116 the castle is completely destroyed in the war between Herzog Lothar von Süpplinburg, better known as Lothar III and Heinrich V. The Annalista Saxo describes how Lothar "lays siege to Binithem, a fine and strong city and burned it after it was conquered". The epithet "strong" (firmam) suggests the castle played a vital role in the cities defences, though it is assumed it was a wooden structure, and not yet a stone one.
The castle is soon rebuilt and this time in stone by Otto von Salm, brother in law of the victorious Lothar III, whose wife Gertrud von Northeim uses it as a residence. In 1050 she is mentioned as comitissa de Benetheim, which is the first documented member of the Counts of Bentheim.
In 1146 a war erupted between Otto von Rheineck and the Bishop of Utrecht concerning the jurisdiction over Twente and Otto and his knights were defeated near Ootmarsum and the castle became a fee of the Diocese of Utrecht and the Bishop claimed the palace and the chapel for his personal use until 1190. Otto's son and only heir, Otto II von Salm-Rheineck tried to recapture the castle but fell into the hands of Hermann von Stahleck in 1148. He spent some time as a prisoner in Schönburg near Oberwesel and was strangled the next year. To the bishops of Münster and Utrecht the independent county remained a thorn in the side, and most notably in 1374 both launched attacks upon the castle.
Otto's daughter, Sophie von Salm-Rheineck inherited the castle. She married Dirk VI, Count of Holland and the castle (1154) and the county (1165) thus passed into the hands of the Counts of Holland. Their son, Otto the Younger is mentioned in a deed by Henry the Lion as comes de Binitheim. He is the first of the counts of Bentheim-Holland, whose rule lasts until 1421 when the castle passes into the hands of Eberwin IV von Götterswick, a cousin of the last count of Bentheim-Holland.
After 1500
From 1421 the name Grafen von Bentheim first appears. In 1486 Graf Eberwin II gets a Fee from Frederick III and the County of Bentheim becomes an independent political entity. In 1489 this is reflected in the Burg, and the construction of the Pulverturm starts Between 1588 and 1593, Arnold II chooses the side of the Reformation, following the church reformers Calvin and Zwingli. During the Thirty Years' War, the county pays the price for its choice and is repeatedly sacked by Spanish troops. Much of the castle is destroyed in the process. This is repeated during the Seven Years' War, in which the Burg repeatedly comes under siege from French and British troops and is taken several times. In 1795 it served as a field hospital in the war against the revolutionary French Army and was set ablaze and taken by general Dominique Vandamme.
The castle is still owned by the Prince of Bentheim-Steinfurt who is living at Steinfurt Castle. It is home to some of his siblings and is also open to the public as a family museum.

La causa de miles de dolencias de espalda diarias, y de tantas bajas laborales; que quede como muestra claramente visible de tantos desahuciados por las mutuas, porque esto no se hace trabajando... ¿para qué tantos cursos sobre seguridad en el trábajo? Dicen que ojos que no ven... AH... Y OLVIDATE DE ENGAÑAR A LA MUTUA, ELLOS TE ENGAÑARÁN A TI... están especializados en ello, los que hemos sufrido un accidente lo hemos sufrido en nuestras carnes... y lo tienen todo perfeccionado para echar balones fuera a base de pruebas inservibles y o fraudulentas...
Two of the three plastic protusions that are supposed to attach with torx screws to the door are snapped off. Combined with a great big crack in the casing, this meant a very wobbly mirror.
Anybody know what brand these are ?The seals don't look like Normandy, Atom and suchlike, the rear hub has protusion which might be housing some sort of not quite ordinary bearing ?
After lumping my car up on a narrow space beside a rather busy road and wandering nervously through someones garden anticipating a 'get orrf my land' I found this rather strange looking painted concrete smothered church. I am not usually a fan of such finishes, St Augustines of Hippo is my most disliked finish, even though that one has the illuminated cross atop its tower that as a lad I would spy from a long way off, because it meant we were on our way to Felixstowe for a brilliant day out, what am I rambling on about! Oh yes Chelsworth Church, I didn't expect too much because of the render, but once inside I changed my tune. There is a bit of everything in here, outside there was a nasty protusion!, inside it turned out to be an interesting tomb canopy. There are lots of memorials to victims of many different wars/campaigns, the latest being Afghanistan 2010. My favorite piece was a simple little barrel presented to the kids of Sunday School Easter 1901. And there is a doom painting too, no comment!!
Many frames stacked for a synthetic long exposure, even on a bright sunny day.
