This stem, of our own design, does so much to clean up and lighten up the front end of our 'cross machines. The full wrap paint scheme seals the deal.
This was a commission to create a stem for an existing metal flower sculpture. A fun project! The final size is 4 feet x 7 feet. Glass and tile mosaic on wediboard, installed on stucco.
The stem of my wine glass + holiday bokeh = cliché.
I'm quickly remembering how hard it is to come up with different photography ideas every day.
Explored.

De man werkt nooit maar scheld graag op de regering die hem van een uitkering voorziet. en hem in de gelegenheid stelt om vrijwel dagelijks op of rond het Binnenhof rond te hangen en te protesteren .
I made a stem for Dan's bike a couple of months ago. Since I never got good pics of Dan's bike because of last year's NAHBS craziness, we decided to take some pics with the new stem.
Hopefully I can join Dan at the Circque Du Cyclisme this year in Leesburg. Kind of depends on when baby arrives. Either way Tommy will be there representing Bishop. If you are in the area, you should check it out. It is a great event with a great vibe and fun rides. www.cirqueducyclisme.com/
Bird exhibit at the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Night at Lee Elementary, Manhattan, Kansas.
Late Friday night, 40 high school girls arrived at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, for a STEM-themed sleepover, ready to learn about careers in Science, technology, engineering and math. The educational event offered young women a chance to meet working female scientists and to discover opportunities for women in STEM-related professions.
The teens kicked off the third annual STEM Girls Night In with an astronaut Q&A, talks from female scientists across disciplines and a collection of hands-on activities. The night culminated in a three-hour Mars rover competition and concluded with a late-night showing of “Hidden Figures.”

Furniture
Central nave and altar
The oldest piece of furniture that can be found in the church today is the Classicist high altar by the Tyrolean sculptor Josef Stumpf. The altar structure consists essentially of two pillars standing on pedestals with Ionic capitals bearing a triangular pediment. Directly below the gable is an ornamental decorative frieze with floral motifs and angel heads. The gable itself carries in its center the Baroque symbol of God: a triangle with an eye in the middle, surrounded by a halo. The altar is flanked by two statues of apostles, probably by the Kufstein sculptor Kaspar Bichler (19th century). From the altar on the right, there is Peter, recognizable by the keys in his hand, and on the left, Paul, identified with the sword and gospel in his hands.
The altarpiece stems from the Tyrolean artist Josef Arnold the Elder (1788-1879) and shows the patron saint of the church (St. Vitus) as a martyr before Mary and Christ. As a martyr, besides the laurel wreath above his head, he also displays one of his attributes - the kettle of boiling hot oil. Arnold's style is a mixture of Classical and Romantic elements: the clothes, posture, facial expressions and gestures of the figures are reminiscent of Heinrich Friedrich Füger, while the coloring is reminiscent of the Nazarenes. In addition to the altarpiece, St. Vitus also houses two other paintings by Josef Arnold the Elder. On the one hand a representation of the Madonna with St. Barbara and St. Catherine of Alexandria on the left side altar, on the other a painting of St. Sebastian, whose wounds are being cared for by the widow of the martyr Kastulus, on the right side altar. All three paintings are from around 1840.
From the wall paintings of the artist Rudolf Stolz from the year 1929 in the vault were those from the first to the third yoke in the nave, two in the gallery and one below the gallery in the entrance area. The first yoke of the nave shows four Old Testament prophets: Daniel, David, Jeremiah, and Isaiah. Each of the prophets holds a banner in his hand, on it quotes from the Bible.
Daniel: "Seventy annual weeks are fixed"
David: "Let us rejoice the Lord our Savior"
Jeremiah: "O ye all ye that pass by, see if a sorrow is equal to my sorrow"
Isaiah: "Behold the maiden shall conceive and give birth to a son, his name shall be Emanuel"
The second yoke shows the four evangelists on the basis of their assigned symbols and inscriptions. In addition, there are various representations about it. In the center of this yoke, embedded in a hole, there is a Holy Spirit dove, surrounded by a golden radiant wreath. Saint John the Baptist is found above the evangelist Mark (Leo), opposite him - above the evangelist Luke (Taurus) - his father, Zacharias. About the evangelist Matthew (winged man) one recognizes Mary at the cradle of Christ, backed by the Bethlehemite star and last, opposite her, above the evangelist John (eagle) Christ with an open book in his hand, on which the Greek letters Alpha and Omega are read. The Greek letters refer to a biblical verse after Revelation 22:13: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end".
Finally, in the vault of the third yoke of the nave, there is a ciphered representation of the Four Last Things. An emaciated figure, wrapped in a death-line, who seems to float away from a grave, stands for death. A trumpet-blowing angel refers to the Last Judgment (see Rev 8: 6-11,19). The risen Christ with the flag of victory in his hand represents heaven. The Archangel Michael, who is just overcoming the dragon, the symbol of Lucifer and all evil, refers to hell. On the shield of the archangel are written the words, "Who is like God" - the meaning of his original Hebrew name.
The vault of the organ loft also contains the depiction of a harp-playing angel playing a violin. Below the violin playing angel is in a banner "Praise the Lord you angels of the Lord" (Dan 3,59 EU) and below the harp playing angel "Glory to God in the high" (Lk, 14 EU, see also Vulgate, Luke 2:14: "Gloria in excelsis Deo"). The last mural of Rudolf Stolz can be found in the area of the main entrance of the church, below the gallery. It shows Christ surrounded by two mothers and seven children.
Otherwise, there are two medieval grave slabs within the church of St. Vitus with relief depictions of the deceased and their coats of arms on it.
Ausstattung
Mittelschiff und Altar
Das älteste Mobiliarstück, welches heute in der Kirche zu finden ist, stellt der klassizistische Hochaltar des Tiroler Bildhauers Josef Stumpf dar. Dar Altaraufbau besteht im Wesentlichen aus zwei auf Postamenten stehenden Säulen mit ionischen Kapitellen, welchen einen Dreiecksgiebel tragen. Direkt unterhalb des Giebels findet sich ein ornamentaler Zierfries mit floralen Motiven und Engelsköpfen. Der Giebel selbst trägt in seinem Zentrum das aus dem Barock stammende Symbol für Gott: ein Dreieck mit einem Auge in der Mitte, umgeben von einem Strahlenkranz. Flankiert wird der Altar von zwei Apostelstatuen, welche vermutlich vom Kufsteiner Bildhauer Kaspar Bichler (19. Jahrhundert) stammen. Vom Altar aus gesehen rechts findet sich Petrus, erkennbar an den Schlüsseln in seiner Hand, und links Paulus, zu identifizieren anhand des Schwertes und des Evangeliums in seinen Händen.
Das Altargemälde stammt vom Tiroler Künstler Josef Arnold dem Älteren (1788–1879) und zeigt den Titelheiligen der Kirche (Hl. Vitus) als Märtyrer vor Maria und Christus. Als Märtyrer weist ihn neben dem Lorbeerkranz über seinem Haupt auch eines seiner Attribute aus – der Kessel mit siedend heißem Öl. Arnolds Stil ist eine Mischung aus klassizistischen und romantischen Elementen: Kleidung, Haltung, Mimik und Gestik der Figuren erinnern an Heinrich Friedrich Füger, das Kolorit hingegen an die Nazarener. St. Vitus beherbergt neben dem Altarbild noch zwei weitere Gemälde Josef Arnolds d. Ä. Zum einen eine Darstellung der Madonna mit der Heiligen Barbara und der Heiligen Katharina von Alexandrien am linken Seitenaltar, zum anderen ein Gemälde des Heiligen Sebastian, dessen Wunden gerade von der Witwe des Märtyrers Kastulus gepflegt werden, am rechten Seitenaltar. Alle drei Gemälde stammen aus der Zeit um 1840.
Von den Wandmalereien des Künstlers Rudolf Stolz aus dem Jahr 1929 im Gewölbe erhielten sich jene vom ersten bis zum dritten Joch im Mittelschiff, zwei in der Empore und eine unterhalb der Empore im Eingangsbereich. Das erste Joch des Mittelschiffes zeigt vier alttestamentliche Propheten: Daniel, David, Jeremia und Jesaja. Jeder der Propheten hält ein Spruchband in Händen, darauf Zitate aus der Bibel.
Daniel: „Siebzig Jahreswochen sind festgesetzt“
David: „Kommet lasset uns frohlocken dem Herrn unserem Heiland“
Jeremia: „O ihr alle die ihr vorübergehet, schauet, ob ein Schmerz gleich sei meinem Schmerze“
Jesaja: „Siehe die Jungfrau wird empfangen und einen Sohn gebären, sein Name wird sein Emanuel“
Das zweite Joch zeigt die vier Evangelisten anhand den ihnen zugeordneten Symbolen und namentlicher Inschriften. Zudem finden sich darüber verschiedene Darstellungen. Im Zentrum dieses Joches, eingelassen in ein Loch, findet sich eine Heiliggeist-Taube, umgeben von einem goldenen Strahlenkranz. Über dem Evangelisten Markus (Löwe) findet sich der Heilige Johannes der Täufer, ihm gegenüber – oberhalb des Evangelisten Lukas (Stier) – sein Vater, Zacharias. Über dem Evangelisten Matthäus (geflügelter Mensch) erkennt man Maria an der Wiege Christi, hinterfangen vom bethlehemitischen Stern und als Letztes, ihr gegenüber, oberhalb des Evangelisten Johannes (Adler) Christus mit einem offenen Buch in der Hand, auf welchem die griechischen Buchstaben Alpha und Omega zu lesen sind. Die griechischen Buchstaben beziehen sich auf einen biblischen Vers nach Off. 22,13: „Ich bin das Alpha und das Omega, der Erste und der Letzte, der Anfang und das Ende“.
Im Gewölbe des dritten Joches des Mittelschiffes schließlich findet sich eine chiffrierte Darstellung der Vier letzten Dinge. Eine ausgemergelte, in ein Totenlinnen gehüllte Gestalt, die einem Grab zu entschweben scheint, steht für den Tod. Ein Posaune blasender Engel verweist auf das Jüngste Gericht (s. Off. 8,6–11,19). Der auferstande Christus mit der Siegesflagge in der Hand repräsentiert den Himmel. Der Erzengel Michael, welcher gerade den Drachen, Sinnbild Luzifers und alles Bösen, überwindet, verweist auf die Hölle. Auf dem Schild des Erzengels stehen die Worte „Wer ist wie Gott“ geschrieben – die Bedeutung seines ursprünglich hebräischen Namens.
Im Gewölbe der Orgelempore finden sich weiters die Darstellung eines Harfe spielenden und eines Geige spielenden Engels. Unterhalb des Geige spielenden Engels steht in einem Spruchband „Preiset den Herrn ihr Engel des Herrn“ (Dan 3,59 EU) und unterhalb des Harfe spielenden Engels „Ehre sei Gott in der Höhe“ (Lk ,14 EU; s. auch Vulgata, Lk 2,14: „Gloria in excelsis Deo“). Das letzte Wandgemälde des Rudolf Stolz findet sich im Bereich des Haupteingangs der Kirche, unterhalb der Empore. Es zeigt Christus umgeben von zwei Müttern und sieben Kindern.
Ansonsten finden sich innerhalb der Kirche St. Vitus noch zwei mittelalterliche Grabplatten mit Reliefdarstellungen der Verstorbenen und ihrer Wappen darauf.

I fear this may be very close to another photo I have seen here on flickr but I can't find it to credit the photographer. If it is your's or you know who's it is let me know so I can credit it. In cany case I really liked the idea and thought I would do one of my own.
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, in partnership with SAIC and Bowie State University, hosted the third Sustaining Women in STEM roundtable, featuring some of the nation's leading STEM trailblazers, on Nov. 7, 2019.
In an era when the workplace is shifting toward the promise of innovation and creativity for future generations, diversity must be a critical component of success. Nowhere is this more vital than in STEM fields, where women are still underrepresented.
The event featured STEM leaders who have demonstrated success in creating environments that encourage and advance women in STEM careers. The day included dynamic morning presentations, enlightening panel discussions, candid question-and-answer dialogues and afternoon breakout sessions.

A wee close up of stems that were in a glass on our breakfast table. I think it looks quite cool. It's only about 2-3" wide.

A rare Routens stem, un-atached to a frame . I really like the aesthetic of these stems, with the pointed top curl, and the tapered handlebar clamp., Integrated bell mount, very functional.
just gorgeous.
I'd love one for my own Routens!!
No cables in this shot. The integrated stem eliminates the hanger and flex from said hanger to calm chatter. An elegant innovation.
Hand Appliqué Stems.. the cheats way.
1. Cut bias strips 1½in wide. (Stem will finish approx ½in wide)
2. Fold your strip in half lengthways and lightly press.
3. Pin the strip along the stem path easing the curves, bear in mind that the stem will finally lay to the left of the machined line.
4. Machine (or hand) stitch into place using a ¼in seam allowance, see diagram.
5. Ease the folded edge over to cover the raw edges and slip stitch into place by hand.
6. If you want a finished end then leave the last ¼in unstiched and turn under to finish neatly, the other end should be covered by a flower!
