Question: if fake violence on TV breeds fake violence in real life, does real violence on TV also breed real violence in real life?
Two guys in my neighbourhood decided to perform some WWF-style wrestling for their kid brother. It's quite hilarious.

What brings you more agony??? Doing something you know you shouldn’t do but have no regrets about it? Or.... not doing it and being in agony over wondering what would have happened had you done it?

There is something wrong with the questions that are supposed to be disposed of by answers. . . . People think that when you have answers you no longer have questions. And they want the greatest possible number of answers, the smallest number of questions. The ideal is to have no more questions. Then when you have no questions, you have “peace”.
~ Thomas Merton
What we already know is in the past. What we have yet to discover is the future. Always make your questions bigger than your answers, and you'll keep drawing yourself into a bigger future with new possibilities.

TRUE GRIT
Well-known Coventry bulk aggregate haulier, Conor Bartlett, is a young man with more power under his right boot than most.
If your grandparents started a transport firm, and then your dad started another, there's a fair chance that you would have spent pretty much your entire life around trucks. That's certainly the case for 20-year-old Conor, a third generation member of the Bartlett family who grew up with the sniff of diesel in his nose and now has it coursing through his veins in bucketfuls.
"I did start young, that's for sure," says Conor. "I used to love going out on the lorries with my dad or my granddad, and I started off myself by driving shunter around the yard. School wasn't my thing, and I couldn't wait to leave and get my licence. I did that as soon as I turned 18 and started working for the family business as a driver. Had to work my way up, though – my first truck was a little four-wheel tipper, and after that, I progressed to 4-series Scanias. I've no idea what I'd do if I couldn't drive…but it would have to be something in the transport industry. Mechanic maybe…"
Two years on and Conor, at the ripe old age of 20, is still driving and now has his own Scania V8, an R 580 Topline tag-axle 44-tonne gross train weight unit, in which he spends his days hauling bulk aggregates around the local area, or shifting waste as far afield as Yorkshire and Kent. We ask if he lets anyone else drive it. "No chance," comes the reply.
And you can see why not, for Conor's V8 is something special. OK, so it doesn't actually have any bells or whistles fitted, but it does have a very snappy glare-reducing sun visor, half a dozen spotlights to brighten the way, six sparkling alloy wheels, a pair of air horns to let you know he's coming and a set of heavy-duty bull bars strong enough to halt a, er…, bull.
The package is completed by a superb traditional red, white and blue livery, with pinstripe detailing to highlight and emphasise the smooth, sleek lines of the Scania R-series Highline cab. Inside, the interior is largely untouched except for the addition of a retro Scania-Vabis steering wheel. That together with its wood-trimmed gear lever (yep, it's got a manual box and three pedals…) gives it the look and feel of what any dyed-in-the-wool enthusiast would call 'a proper truck'!
"It certainly does turn a few heads," confirms Conor. "I've done a few shows with it – Truckfest, and I've been as far as the Truckstar Festival in Assen, Holland. But I haven't yet managed to catch the judges eye just yet…maybe that will all change now I've been in the T&D calendar!"
Conor's rig is plated at 44-tonnes gross train weight, so you could say its 580 horsepower engine is more than generous, based on the old haulage adage of 'ten horses per ton'.
"Yes, can't argue with that," agrees Conor. "It's got plenty of pulling power and is well on top of the job. And that makes for a relaxed, comfortable ride, which is important. The reason we went for a V8 is that we wanted a flagship for the fleet. Both dad and I really like this particular generation R-series, and as we hadn't bought a truck for a while so we went for it while we could. And it's great – reliable, drives beautifully and we get great backup from our local dealer, Keltruck Coventry."
A tour of the company's premises – which actually houses both family businesses; Neil Bartlett Haulage Limited, the firm started by Conor's grandparents Neil and Marie, and his dad's company J J Bartlett (Haulage) Limited – reveals that Scania and Keltruck are both well embedded into the operation's DNA. Two large and well-used Scania Vehicle Maintenance planners adorn the back wall of the office and over to the side is a Keltruck clock, whose yellowed face has obviously witnessed the passing of a good deal of time.
Pictures around the office tell the story too; from the company's first W-reg Scania 141 to the T-truck it still runs and 3- and 4-series models, Bartlett's have run them all.
"They're just great trucks," says Conor. "They tick all the boxes, simple as that. In fact, we've only just got rid of our last 4-series, that's how good they are."
The day we meet Conor, he is wearing a JJ Bartlett polo shirt which just happens to have a Scania-Vabis logo on it. "Not quite sure what the Vabis bit means," he says. So we tell him: 'It stands for Vagnsfabrik Aktiebolaget i Södertälje'. He gives us a sideways 'wish-I'd-never-asked' kind of look before we translate, explaining it means Wagon Maker Limited of Södertälje. Södertälje being the town in Sweden where Vabis started making railway rolling stock back in 1891.
We tell him it's also where Sweden's first car was made, and one of the country's first two trucks too – the other being built in Malmo by a company called Scania, with whom Vabis would merge in 1911 to form the Scania-Vabis organisation, a name which endured all the way through to 1968, a year before the first Scania V8 engine was launched.
That first V8 delivered just 350 horsepower, less than half of the most powerful models today. While it's obvious that Scania has been busily developing its King of the Road engine for the last half century, what message would Conor send to the Swedes if he had the chance to improve the V8?
"If I had to say one thing," he says after pondering the question for quite some time, "it's that mine's a bit too quiet. I'm told they've done something about it in new generation trucks, which is great news – I mean, it's a V8, so you've got to be able to hear it, haven't you?

The last remaining piece of a crack house torn down on Hudson Avenue was the front door with a giant question mark on it.

The We're Here! gang is considering the question mark today.
I am considering Burt Bacharach, Cilla Black, Dionne Warwick, and existential angst in 1966. What's it all about?
Maire depuis 8 ans.
"...Le premier magistrat parla alors de fierté, de chance, de reconnaissance, de mission, de responsabilités en évoquant son statut de maire. Il mit aussi l’accent sur l’esprit de groupe, sur le collectif, sur le service public, sur l’intérêt général. Il remercia les anciens élus – ceux qui ne sont plus là – pour l’avoir accompagné durant ces six premières années et félicita chaleureusement les nouveaux arrivants, au nombre de dix-huit, qui depuis ce fameux lundi soir sont officiellement élus de la République. « Nous avons une équipe formidable pour servir notre ville. Je suis fier d’être Cassipontin, je suis fier d’être votre maire !" (sic)
So, in spite of the presence of my favorite subject matter in the abandoned house, the eye is certainly drawn to that tree, right?
The question of perception is about that tree...
I see a tree (walnut, maybe) with curves that look like a woman's body. A symbol of mother earth, mother nature...
Or maybe it's just a creepy-cool looking tree.
I have visited this property in Palo Alto County, Iowa before.

She was a beauty--a gold 45 goddess for sure! A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.

i got an urgent call from my mom cuz she needed a hand around the house so i quickly pulled on a long sleeve tee, jeans and newly added aldo ankle booties. my take on fall 2016's western trend, except in my rush i forgot to zip my right bootie...not to mention that the left laces weren't long enough to fully lace the boot with my jeans tucked in but mom needed me so i went (after i snagged a quick picture!), I showed up at her place and she made me aware of my oversight "honey your shoe's unzipped" "but Mom you said to come right away so i rushed to get here" i zipped it but only up to the wrapped around laces (leaving it partially unfinished) and set about bringing her fall items down from storage and her summer items in their place among other chores. mom returned the favor by cooking a nice spaghetti dinner.
Pink it’s my new obsession
Pink it’s not even a question
Pink on the lips of your lover, 'cause
Pink is the love you discover
Pink as the bing on your cherry
Pink 'cause you are so very
Pink it’s the color of passion
'Cause today it just goes with the fashion
Pink it was love at first sight, yea
Pink when I turn out the light, and
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight
Essa flor é presente para todos que passarem por aqui :)
Ótima semana para todos vocês!

"To flickr, or not to flickr: that is the question"
Pals,
from time to time, in times of trouble, crisis, I ask myself:
about 4000 photos are posted to flickr every minute!
who needs all this?!
who does it interest to look at all those photos?
('all the lonely photos, where do they all come from')
why should you find an interest in an Ultra-Orthodox man from Jerusalem,
or in a little girl from Al-Quds?
what is a good or an interesting photo that worths watching?
is it suffice that the person or the scene are presented clearly?
should there be 'something' else to make the photo worth posting?
what does all this mean?
is it just another way to spend time and be in touch with people from all over the world?
is it a kind of a social network?
is the God particle responsible for all this?
could it be that all this is only an illusion created by the evil demon ?
(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_demon)
what is the meaning of life?
...
;-)
Some of you may have noticed that, unfortunately, owing to the fact that a certain person who sells truck photos on eBay commercially has been lifting my images from this album and selling them I have had to remove 2300 photos that didn't have a watermark. I have now run around 1700 through Lightroom and added a watermark with the intention of bulk uploading them again. Rather than watermark the existing (hidden) files in Flickr one at a time it will be easier to do it this way. I definitely won’t be adding individual tags with the make and model of each vehicle I will just add generic transport tags. Each photo is named after the vehicle and reg in any case. For anyone new to these images there is a chapter and verse explanation below. It is staggering how many times I get asked questions that a quick scan would answer or just as likely I can’t possibly answer – I didn’t take them, but, just to clarify-I do own the copyright- and I do pursue copyright theft.
This is a collection of scanned prints from a collection of photographs taken by the late Jim Taylor A number of years ago I was offered a large number of photographs taken by Jim Taylor, a transport photographer based in Huddersfield. The collection, 30,000 prints, 20,000 negatives – and copyright! – had been offered to me and one of the national transport magazines previously by a friend of Jim's, on behalf of Jim's wife. I initially turned them down, already having over 30,000 of my own prints filed away and taking space up. Several months later the prints were still for sale – at what was, apparently, the going rate. It was a lot of money and I deliberated for quite a while before deciding to buy them. I did however buy them directly from Jim’s wife and she delivered them personally – just to quash the occasional rumour from people who can’t mind their own business. Although some prints were sold elsewhere, particularly the popular big fleet stuff, I should have the negatives, unfortunately they came to me in a random mix, 1200 to a box, without any sort of indexing and as such it would be impossible to match negatives to prints, or, to even find a print of any particular vehicle. I have only ever looked at a handful myself unless I am scanning them. The prints are generally in excellent condition and I initially stored them in a bedroom without ever looking at any of them. In 2006 I built an extension and they had to be well protected from dust and moved a few times. Ultimately my former 6x7 box room office has become their (and my own work’s) permanent home.
I hope to avoid posting images that Jim had not taken his self, however should I inadvertently infringe another photographers copyright, please inform me by email and I will resolve the issue immediately. There are copyright issues with some of the photographs that were sold to me. A Flickr member from Scotland drew my attention to some of his own work amongst the first uploads of Jim’s work. I had a quick look through some of the 30 boxes of prints and decided that for the time being the safest thing for me to do was withdraw the majority of the earlier uploaded scans and deal with the problem – which I did. whilst the vast majority of the prints are Jims, there is a problem defining copyright of some of them, this is something that the seller did not make clear at the time. I am reasonably confident that I have since been successful in identifying Jims own work. His early work consists of many thousands of lustre 6x4 prints which are difficult to scan well, later work is almost entirely 7x5 glossy, much easier to scan. Not all of the prints are pin sharp but I can generally print successfully to A4 from a scan.
You may notice photographs being duplicated in this Album, unfortunately there are multiple copies of many prints (for swapping) and as I have to have a system of archiving and backing up I can only guess - using memory - if I have scanned a print before. The bigger fleets have so many similar vehicles and registration numbers that it is impossible to get it right all of the time. It is easier to scan and process a print than check my files - on three different PC’s - for duplicates. There has not been, nor will there ever be, any intention to knowingly breach anyone else's copyright. I have presented the Jim Taylor collection as exactly that-The Jim Taylor Collection- his work not mine, my own work is quite obviously mine.
Unfortunately, many truck spotters have swapped and traded their work without copyright marking it as theirs. These people never anticipated the ease with which images would be shared online in the future. I would guess that having swapped and traded photos for many years that it is almost impossible to control their future use. Anyone wanting to control the future use of their work would have been well advised to copyright mark their work (as many did) and would be well advised not to post them on photo sharing sites without a watermark as the whole point of these sites is to share the image, it is very easy for those that wish, to lift any image, despite security settings, indeed, Flickr itself, warns you that this is the case. It was this abuse and theft of my material that led me to watermark all of my later uploads. I may yet withdraw non-watermarked photos, I haven’t decided yet. (I did in the end)
To anyone reading the above it will be quite obvious that I can’t provide information regarding specific photos or potential future uploads – I didn’t take them! There are many vehicles that were well known to me as Jim only lived down the road from me (although I didn’t know him), however scanning, titling, tagging and uploading is laborious and time consuming enough, I do however provide a fair amount of information with my own transport (and other) photos. I am aware that there are requests from other Flickr users that are unanswered, I stumble across them months or years after they were posted, this isn’t deliberate. Some weekends one or two “enthusiasts” can add many hundreds of photos as favourites, this pushes requests that are in the comments section ten or twenty pages out of sight and I miss them. I also have notifications switched off, I receive around 50 emails a day through work and I don’t want even more from Flickr. Other requests, like many other things, I just plain forget – no excuses! Uploads of Jim’s photos will be infrequent as it is a boring pastime and I would much rather work on my own output.

My very first low key b&w.
Thank you to idog~ for answering my questions about low key b&w, you rock Vicki. :)
Chuppy was limping a little yesterday, but I thought it was because he stumbled on the wooden path on our front yard. But today, he was limping again, and it was more obvious to me. He wasn't in pain though, actually, he wanted me to throw the ball over and over and over. But he also went potty in places he NEVER goes. I thought that was weird. I know some dogs put up "limping acts" so let's hope my boy is just a great actor.
This picture took me around an hour or so to do. Since I'm a noob at this. Lotsa of lightroom editing, and plus, I finished my website...on photoshop. Yes, on photoshop.
And oh, I'll TRY so very hard to do my tag picture tomorrow!
