I have a question to all my folllowers and I must underline it does not hide any envy or secondary reasons other than just my curiosity. I hope some can explain to me why their blogs are full of explicitly porn images without being tagged. If for security reasons you do not want to explain the method you use, you can contact me privately. My question is to be able to avoid the suffocating censorship that strikes me on art images that sometimes contain a nude and that are regularly censored. The works I post are not pornographic at all and if there is a nude usually it is not integral. Despite this they tag me very often while in other blogs that I see among my followers they do not spare themselves to show pictures of explicit fucking erections, cumshots and much more.
Thank you very much and I hope you have the courage and the will to help me to at least be able to post some art without being constantly censored.

"One of the most overlooked questions about Burning Man art is, why do people make it? Regardless the size of a project -- whether a massive installation or a cache of pendants -- certainly, there is no money in it. Most artists put in long hours year-round preparing for the event, yet of the hundreds of artworks placed each year, only a portion receive funding from the Burning Man Project and grants, while generous in resources, rarely cover the full cost of production. To supplement the assistance they receive, artists run crowdsourcing campaigns to help realize their projects. And at the end of the event, many artworks are destroyed, given away, or mined for parts to begin the next installation. So what is the motivation?
"Simply put, Burning Man art may be the ultimate expression of the maker movement made by a network of enthusiasts that has risen in response to digital culture, who share a passion for making and a custom of enthusiastic knowledge and resource-sharing. Digital tools and easy online communication have helped maker culture spread quickly, promoting a blend of handcraft and cutting-edge technology in an atmosphere that fosters ingenuity and learning by doing, and values every individual's unique contribution. One of the beauties of Burning Man art is that so much of it is created by people who don't identify as 'artists' at all, but as engineers, programmers, architects, or inspired novices. These permeable boundaries give the work its engaging, populist character; it often lands somewhere between art and other realms.
"Though most art for Burning Man is made in advance, the weeks leading up to the event provide a space for experimentation amid a supportive, talented community and under extreme test conditions. Many projects still fail, but the challenge is the pursuit. A cheerful slogan, 'the playa provides,' reminds Burners that things have a way of working out through the kindness of strangers. Interestingly, some perennial artists admit they could forgo the actual weeklong gathering, but thrive on the preparation phase and the community built through it, with all its infectious energy. They enjoy sharing their skills, tinkering for the thrill of new discoveries, and creating for the pure joy of contributing to something larger than themselves as they entertain and inspire their fellow attendees."

Bad weather is here again and the car has been sitting since just before Christmas. So I figured it to be as good a time as any to fix something that was really irking the crap out of me…the sun visors.
All of the 79-85 Eldorado’s with light up mirrors (which most had) unfortunately have a problem with visorus saginitus. The visor is held up by a small winged plastic bushing-it wraps around the chrome visor arm, and locks into the plastic visor body with the winged part. This little plastic thing gets brittle over time and starts to crack, losing its grip on the stationary rod. This starts as an issue where they droop a little bit when the car has been sitting in the sun on a summers day but eventually gets bad enough that it happens at all temperatures and will just flop down with bumps in the road.
To my knowledge there’s no replacements for this winged bushing and even if there were I don’t know how you would go about replacing it with the way it’s installed on the visor arm. GM evidently saw the problem as the arm and bushing were revised in 1984 to be bigger but evidently to no avail-the passenger visor on my car sagged from the time I had bought the car and I had held it in place with a nail wedged into the metal trim surrounding the window that had to be removed when you wanted to use it…this didn’t compute with the fairer sex, so it’s safe to say eventually I’m going to find all of those finishing nails that have gone missing over the past couple of years the hard way…
My driver’s side visor was free of this problem but I just didn’t use it as I was afraid it would start doing the same thing. So I set to work finding a real fix
These popped up for sale on ebay, red visors from an ’87 DeVille. They looked like a winner, same general shape, same color and in good condition. After a couple of messages to get an idea on size, I ordered them. However, when they arrived, they were neither the bright red shown in the pictures, nor in as good of repair. They definitely needed to be reupholstered to be used. I gave them a dry run before wasting any more money, and they had a couple of other issues. The first was a different electrical connector which was no biggie. The second was much bigger, that they could only be used to block sun going forward. Trying to move it to the side caused them to either drop or raise at a 45 degree angle.
I figured this was caused by the design of the mount which is heavily angled. So there wasn’t much I could do about it. Until my ebay suggestions came up with visors from a Buick Reatta for sale-the same general style as the DeVille, but with a flat type of mount similar to the OEM Eldorado!
Now the guy wanted over 100 dollars for these and after my blunder with the DeVille visors I wasn’t about to sink that type of change in a maybe. So I headed over to the Reatta AACA message board to see if anyone had a dogged set of visors with good mounts that they wanted to sell, and the first post in the for sale section happened to be by a fella who was parting out a complete Reatta! Score!
I emailed the guy and he explained that the car was in a junkyard local to his house. A real gentleman, he was able to get the visor arms for free and didn’t even charge me the ride up from Florida. Thanks Mike! The car in question had a burgundy interior so the arms would need to be sprayed dark carmine to work for me. After cleaning and priming, SEM aerosol made quick work of that.
Unfortunately when they were removed from the Reatta, this condom thing that wraps around a metal bushing shredded, but I was able to basically replicate it with heat shrink tubing
The arms are easily removed from the visors when uninstalled from the car. Simply rotate the arm into the mirror side of the visor (as if you were pushing the visor back up into the roof) until it clicks and then yank it out. Install it into the new visor in the same position. I did some tests for proof of concept and when it seemed like I was on the right track, I got to work. Or at least to spending money. I ordered carmine foam-backed headliner material (Sunbrite 1872 for those interested, it was a great match) and headliner adhesive (which I ended up not needing for this job)
The visors themselves are like a clamshell and probably harder to crack open than a turnip. After enough brute force, a hammer, and a screwdriver, I was able to get them open (see the color difference as compared to the ebay picture above)
The material around the visor ended up not being glued to the face of it, only tucked tight and hot glued from the factory. I decided to do the same thing (So I have to write off the spray adhesive until I do a new headliner). I carefully removed the old fabric and made a template out of the new material
(should anyone do this in the future, it’s much more simple and less risky to only cut the general shape of the template out, you can cut the hole for the mirror and sun shade later)
The visors themselves also needed some help. The “ears” at the ends were super fatigued and loose, so I mixed up some resin and fiberglass to shore them up.
Once the visor bodies were sound, I had to come up with a way of re-joining the clamshell. I have no idea how GM did this in the first place but super glue doesn’t work. After a lot of searching I found out that these are likely made of Polyethylene. I bought this 3M DP8005 adhesive which claimed to bond it and tested it on a junk visor-seemed to do the trick. You need a special mixing tip in addition to this and I also had to get a gun that it fits into.
With that solved, I started hot gluing the material onto the visors. I had never done anything with headliner material before aside from stapling them up when they started sagging and I was really surprised with how compliant it was. In that, it basically looked factory with no runs or wrinkles despite not having a clue what I was doing.
Then, I bonded the two halves back together. Each one had to sit like this for a day, and early signs seem like it worked. Hopefully the adhesive will hold, time and temperature will tell.
Here’s a comparison of the original visors with the DeVille replacements. Mirrors swapped without issue. I also had to swap the power connector, meaning I had to cut the crimped on connector at the mirror end from the old visors and install in the new ones. Delphi 12020347 is the connector part, there’s no room inside the assembly for a butt connector (and I hate using them unless I have to)
And here they are installed!
The only complication on the install is that the plastic visor arms bolt in a slightly smaller bolt pattern than the originals. You can take any 2 of the 3 holes but not all 3 at once. Fortunately there’s plenty of meat to drill into to make another hole.
I’m sure a lot of people are reading this right now and saying I should have just stuck with the nail but in reality it wasn’t that bad. It might seem like a mess but everything above is a “worse possible scenario” in that I got fleeced on the visors I bought and had to change color, structurally repair them, rehab the Reatta visor arms, then bond them back together. If you’re fortunate enough to have a 79-85 E body with an interior color the same as an 85-88 Deville, and can get the visors from it, the only thing you need do is get a set of Reatta visor arms and swap them out (and obviously your electrical connector from your 79-85). They’re really close in size as far as fit, and look factory with the exception of the sunshade. You could delete that when reupholstering, but I always liked them.
It seems like GM changed all their lighted visor designs to basically the same thing in the late 80’s downsized cars. So there might very well be more vehicles than just Reattas that have the flat plastic visor arm. As far as longevity, I’ll definitely keep everyone posted but I will say that I’ve never really seen any of the “newer” Cadillacs or Buicks experiencing visor problems. The whole metal bushing with condom setup also feels much more sturdy then the OEM 79-85 stuff.
Oh, and on the bright side, I’ll only have to wear these puppies at night now.
KONKANI JOURNALISM DAY: Quite a few valid and interesting questions were raised and some answers surfaced regarding the difficulties faced by Konkani journalism, at the panel discussion of the Konknni Potrokaritecho Dis (Konkani Journalism Day) organised by the Dalgado Konknni Akademi in Panjim, Goa, on February 2, 2012. Paul Fernandes (asst editor/environment Times of India), Frederick Noronha (freelance cyber journalist) and Pramod Acharya (news editor, Prudent Media TV channel) spoke on status of Konkani journalism today; Cyberspace and Konkani journalism; and on Konkani newspapers and the electronic medium respectively, while Tomazinho Cardozo (editor Goykar) moderated the discussion. Earlier, the portrait of Eduardo Bruno de Souza, considered as the 'father of Konkani journalism" was garlanded by the dignitaries. DKA president Premand Lotlikar introduced the guests and DKA secretary Jose Salvador Fernandes proposed the vote of thanks.

I wouldn't have bothered publishing this, but it's interesting, in that it got me questioned more than any other photo I've taken this year.
I was walking away when the two lads on the right asked me, "Whose car is that?"
"No idea," I said. And that was the end of that one. But then a man dressed in a sort of half-uniform look quickly jogged up to me from the pub before I could carry on through Queen Square.
"Is there a particular reason why you were taking a photograph of that car?"
"Well, mostly because it's parked on a roundabout, on double-yellow lines."
"That's because I'm picking up the Lord Mayor. Does that make a difference to you?"
"Er. No, not really."
"Er. Okay."
"Goodbye."
It was an odd conversation, and I don't think we were on the same wavelength.
Now, I should say that I'm not too bothered where the Lord Mayor parks. It's just that I read the Bristol Traffic blog and it often features pictures of interestingly-parked cars, so I guess my brain's now programmed to think "Oooh, big official-looking car parked on a roundabout on double-yellow lines, that might be an interesting photo to have." I am a little nonplussed by the rushing-up-and-questioning-me bit, though. Odd.
Walking the streets of Greenwich I came across this question mark. I have no idea what it is for, but it made me think of "Doctor Who"...
I don't know what the business is, or if its a block of flats, but it is on King William Walk about two blocks south of the Cutty Sark.
“You must constantly ask yourself these questions: Who am I around? What are they doing to me? What have they got me reading? What have they got me saying? Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking? And most important, what do they have me becoming? Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay? Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.” - Jim Rohn

What do museums of contemporary art stand for today? The last two decades has seen an unimaginable diversification of the museum as a place for exhibiting art and telling history, producing innovative education models, promoting international collaborations, forming alternative archives, and facilitating new productions.
This conference aims to tackle key questions around the museum as an institutional entity and contemporary art as an art historical category. Speakers will provide an overview of developments across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Particular attention will be paid to the construction of historical narratives (or their abandonment) through collection displays, the role of research in relation to contemporary art, the alternative models that are already having an impact, and their relationship to more traditional museum infrastructures.
Presented by the Ph.D. Program in Art History at the CUNY Graduate Center, Independent Curators International, and the New Museum.

The field trip took us to Lake Naivasha, north of Nairobi. While there we were witness to some direct climate change impacts, and some solutions - in the form of a geothermal plant that has the potential to supply energy for much of sub-Saharan Africa.
But being a nature reserve, and in the rift valley, there were many other tours heading in the same direction. At the entrance to the park we met this group of school children. Instantly the members of our party were there, capitalising on the curiosity that the students were feeling towards this mixed-nationality, mixed-generational group.
The topic soon turned to Climate Change - education was, after all, what the conference was about. Enticed by prizes of UNEP hats and badges, we started an impromptu quiz. The kids knew their stuff, and many left wearing blue baseball caps and small silver pins with pride.
Such a small gesture, but I hope that the seed was planted in their heads. The idea of their responsibility as they grow. The idea of the role they must play. Africa may be the hardest hit by climate change, but the opportunity to act, to develop in a different way, exists there like in no other place. Much of what remains of the Earth's resources and diversity is in Africa, and none of us can afford for it to be destroyed.
See the rest of the conference pictures here.

I actually had no idea what I wanted to do for tonight. Today was a good day, but long and rainy so I really wasn't motivated to do much. I took a very straightforward shot with no real plans for it and just started playing with textures. There was no thought process behind this one. It was pretty much free form. I just added stuff, adjusted, deleted, added, modified until I ended up with something that I liked.
When I arrived in sl, my first questions were: where can I find art and education? No one could answer. The usual noob asks : where can I find sex and money. Or money and sex?
Well, now, if someone can tell me about those last topics, I wouldnt mind....
A mon arrivée dans sl, mes premières questions étaient: où est-ce qu'on trouve art et éducation? Personne n'a pu me répondre. Les noobs normaux demandent: où est-ce que je peux trouver du sexe et du fric. Ou du fric et du sexe, dans le désordre. Bon... si quelqu'un peut me renseigner sur ces derniers sujets, heuuu.... je veux bien, finalement.
La gare de Tergnier Ascenseurs de la gare SNCF

Ascenseurs de la gare SNCF : fin du calvaire ?
TERGNIER - Une poche d’eau menace en gare de provoquer un télescopage de grands chantiers aux dépens des usagers handicapés…
Les personnes à mobilité réduite devront-elles se résigner en 2012 à éviter la gare SNCF de Tergnier l'après midi ?
C'est en substance la question posée par Éric Gierens, délégué du personnel Escale de l'Etablissement Voyageur de Picardie. Ayant alerté sans succès jusqu'à présent les instances directement concernées par la situation, il a décidé mardi de tirer simultanément le signal d'alarme auprès du président de la SNCF Guillaume Pepy, de Roselyne Bachelot, ministre des Solidarités et de la cohésion sociale et du conseil régional de Picardie.
« Dans le cadre du service annuel 2012, la direction de l'Etablissement Voyageur de Picardie envisage de supprimer un poste à l'Escale. Cela ne laissera plus en service de soirée qu'un agent pour assurer sur les quais les missions d'expédition des trains, d'accueil et d'information des voyageurs, et le cas échéant d'accompagnement des personnes à mobilité réduite or d'une part, les ascenseurs de quai ne seront pas opérationnels, et d'autre part, Tergnier ne sera plus sous peu dans le cadre du cadencement des circulations qu'une gare d'arrêt ; nous n'aurons donc plus que quelques minutes pour aider l'usager à changer de quai sachant que le passage planchéifié prévu à cet effet est situé à une centaine de mètres de la gare » explique t-il.
Une poche sans fond
À l'origine de cette situation : un incident qui provoque le télescopage de deux grands chantiers.
Depuis le mois de février, le chantier de modernisation de la gare de Tergnier (lire ci-dessous) bute sur un problème majeur qui reste à ce jour sans solution : l'entreprise chargée d'installer quatre ascenseurs de quai a mis à jour une poche d'eau que le pompage permanent ne permet pas, depuis, de résorber. « Il s'agit bien d'une poche et non d'une source car une source ! » précise Eric Gierens un tantinet dépité. « Normalement, on devrait arriver à la vider mais là, je ne comprends pas : on pompe depuis février et rien n'y fait… » Un agent de quai de passage confirme : « la pompe a une capacité de 35 mètres cube heure mais si elle ne tourne pas pendant une heure, on a dix centimètres d'eau dans le souterrain… »
Bizarre, certes, mais l'entreprise adjudicatrice n'ayant pas vocation à éclairer les bizarreries du sous-sol ternois, elle s'est résolue en juin à voguer vers d'autres chantiers sous des cieux plus cléments.
Et voilà comment quatre excavations béantes garnies d'étais insensibles à l'eau qui leur ronge les pieds jalonnent toujours, dans le sous terrain, le parcours fléché des usagers alors même que le chantier, ouvert en janvier, devrait toucher à son terme.
Problème : considérant l'amélioration de l'accessibilité des quais à attendre de ces travaux lourds, la direction a prévu, elle, d'alléger ses effectifs.
« Avec un train au départ ou au terminus de Tergnier, passe encore ; on prend le temps qu'il faut pour aider une personne handicapée, mais avec l'entrée en vigueur du cadencement, c'est impossible puisque nous n'aurons plus que des trains de passage » martèle Eric Gierens. Il ne met en cause ni le cadencement, ni la stratégie de gestion du personnel de sa direction et encore moins le programme de modernisation des gares ; tout juste attend t-il que l'effectif actuel des agents de l'Escale soit préservé dans l'attente de l'entrée en service des ascenseurs de quai.
UNE GARE DU RESEAU ACCES PLUS
Au lendemain de la semaine nationale pour l'emploi des personnes handicapées, les craintes émises par Eric Gierens paraissent d'autant mieux fondées dans le contexte ternois que la gare SNCF est intégrée au réseau des gares labélisées Accès Plus. Entendez par là que la SNCF s'y engage à personnaliser l'accueil et l'accompagnement des personnes handicapées.
« Le service a été créé afin d'apporter sérénité et qualité de voyage depuis la gare de départ jusqu'à la place d'arrivée dans le train et pour assurer une prestation d'assistance dans la gare de correspondance et d'arrivée » explique la SNCF.
Entièrement gratuit, ce service, explique Eric Gierens, « draine en gare de Tergnier des usagers handicapés de l'ensemble du Ternois et du Laférois, sûrs d'y trouver les meilleures conditions d'accès au train. »
Qui plus est, ajoute t-il, « les travaux engagés depuis janvier ont permis d'harmoniser le niveau des quais et des wagons. »

Aménagement des gares, réfection des voies par Réseau ferré de France (RFF) Les grands chantiers de 2013 dans l'Aisne
Remplacement de 17 km de voies, cinq gares réaménagées… Voici un point sur les grands chantiers ferroviaires qui vous attendent dans l'Aisne.
«AU total, près de 30 millions d'euros seront investis en 2013 par Réseau ferré de France et ses partenaires en Picardie pour rendre le réseau ferré plus fiable, plus confortable et plus performant », explique en préambule Jean-Yves Dareaud, responsable communication à la direction régionale Nord/Pas-de-Calais Picardie de Réseau ferré de France.
Renouvellement de voies entre Tergnier et Jeumont (Nord)
Ce sera le plus grand chantier de l'Aisne pour l'année 2013. Pas moins de 57 km de voies sont concernés dont 15 km dans l'Aisne (de Tergnier en direction de la frontière avec le département du Nord). « Nous allons procéder au remplacement des traverses et du ballast, ces deux composants étant arrivés en fin de vie », détaille Jean-Yves Dareaud.
« Les travaux se feront de nuit, avec une interruption du trafic ferroviaire. Les trains, notamment de fret, sont détournés sur d'autres itinéraires. »
Des moyens mécanisés lourds seront engagés sur ce chantier, appelés « suite rapide », il s'agit d'un véritable train-usine, comprenant de nombreux wagons. « Il avance en même temps que les travaux. Il n'en existe que trois en France. »
Calendrier de l'opération : entre avril et août 2013 pour un coût global (travaux dans l'Aisne et le Nord) de 50 millions d'euros, intégralement financés par RFF.
La seule inquiétude pour Réseau ferré de France, c'est le comportement dangereux que pourraient adopter certains face aux désagréments inhérents aux travaux d'une telle ampleur : « Durant le temps des travaux, des fermetures de passages à niveau, plus ou moins prolongées, sont à prévoir. »
Une signalétique sera mise en place pour informer les usagers de la route : « Il convient de bien respecter les règles de sécurité et de suivre les déviations qui seront mises en place sur le terrain. »

cross section: Nerium leaf
common name: Oleander
magnification: 400x
Berkshire Community College Bioscience Image Library
Both the adaxial and abaxial epidermis in Nerium are multiseriate, being composed of up to three layers of compactly arranged cells with heavily cutinized outer walls.
A heavy waxy cuticle is especially well developed on the light exposed adaxial surface. Stomata are limited to the abaxial surface where they are sunken within deep, trichome lined pits that serve to reduce transpirational water loss.
Three or more layers of tightly packed photosynthetic palisade mesophyll can be seen just beneath adaxial epidermis. In some specimens a single layer of shorter palisade mesophyll cells may be present towards the abaxial surface. The center of the leaf is occupied by a spongy mesophyll with abundant intracellular spaces and occasional calcium oxalate crystals.
