An early morning in Anglesey made for some good bird behaviour spotting. Even if the bright light from the clear skies was too brutal for anything but sillouettes
Dia desses me bateu uma loucura de querer esmaltes fofinhos... Acho que começou com a compra do Sunwashed e me deu aqueles 5 minutos de loucura que resultou na compra de DEZ Bourjois de uma vez só hahahah
Deve ter sido a maneira do meu cérebro se revoltar pelos últimos meses comprando pouquíssimos esmaltes XD
Enfim...
Claro que o primeiro a ser usado teria que ser um azulão não é mesmo? Peguei então o Success Azure e passei sem medo de ser feliz :P
É bem pigmentado, não fica escorrendo para os cantinhos, fechou perfeitamente com duas camadas, fácil de aplicar e limpar, seca com um brilho bom *__*
Minha única reclamação fica com a embalagem, mais precisamente as etiquetas desses da linha Glossy: dos 10 que peguei, 3 vieram sem nome e outros 4 vieram com uma etiqueta prateada PÉSSIMA com as letrinhas minúsculas que dificultam a leitura =_=
The Dipper bird surfaced with something in its beak. I can’t make out if it’s just nesting material or some kind of small fish.

3p; The 1935 Senior TT is regarded by many to be one of the greatest seniors in TT history. Competitors had to put up with lack of gas, electricity and public transport due to the general strike. In addition George Formby was on the island making the most of his cinematic success ‘No Limits’ portraying the exploits of George Shuttleworth and his home made Shuttleworth Snap.
Stanley Woods riding a Moto Guzzi had taken half a minute off the Senior lap record in practice and looked good for the race win. The 1935 Senior became the first to be postponed to the Saturday due to the weather and when it finally got started Woods found himself starting at number 30, fifteen minutes behind his rival Jimmy Guthrie. Norton mounted Guthrie held the upper hand early on but Woods employed a ‘dummy pit stop’ at the end of lap six to out fox Guthrie’s works Norton team. As a result of Woods starting position, Guthrie was declared the winner by the press who had to reverse their decision when it emerged that Woods had won by 4 seconds and had smashed the lap record by 4 mph to make a new record of 86.53mph.
31/2p; Norton mounted Freddy Frith’s first Senior TT win partly resulted from his teammate Jimmy Guthrie’s breakdown at the Cutting on lap five although Frith had to complete the first ever 90mph lap to beat Stanley Woods. It was to be Guthrie’s last ever TT race as he was tragically killed two months later while leading the German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring circuit. Scotsman Guthrie was commemorated by a memorial on the TT course at the Cutting which is now known as Guthrie’s memorial.
8p: The 1961 sidecar race was won by Max Deubel and passenger Emil Horner on a BMW with a fastest lap of 87.97mph. BMW would take all three podium places but the race was marred by the death of passenger Marie Lambert who was killed at Creg-ny-Baa, tragically her husband Claude was the driver.
10p: Although not part of the official Honda squad, Mike Hailwood was to ride for the Japanese factory in both the 125cc and 250cc races. Hailwood broke the 125 cc lap record from a standing start and held on to win from Luigi Taveri to secure his first TT win, it was also Honda’s first win on the island. Hailwood went on to win the lightweight 250cc race for Honda and record a hat-trick of wins when he won the Senior TT on a Norton. Hailwood’s win in the Senior TT made history, he became the first ever rider to win three TTs in a week. This feat became more achievable in later race programmes when more races were added, Hailwood won three out of the four races he competed in and repeated the hat-trick in 1967 ( the TT hat-trick would be repeated by the great Joey Dunlop 24 years later in 1985). In addition, Hailwood was the first man to win a TT on a single-cylinder machine (Norton) at an average of over 100mph.

The caregiver of the three ferals I'm trapping is 90 years old and lives alone. Ralph has a lovely home built in the 40's and keeps it immaculate. The mother cat & her two babies showed up a month ago and set up residence in his backyard shed [see lower right ]. I was contacted last week and although not doing TNR full time any more, agreed to help him.
I trapped the mother [ upper right ] easily yesterday but her two kittens were afraid of the trap[s]and afraid of me... so I left one of my traps with Ralph. He did a great job setting and watching the traps for me today and it paid off as he caught the "runt" this evening and he [?] is now at my vet reunited with his mother.
I think the last kitten will be the hardest to catch....but hopefully s/he'll get hungry and go in the trap before I bring the mother cat and runt back tomorrow night. Ralph will continue to take care of all three although originally he only wanted one....the mother cat. When i explained that the kittens would be euthanized if taken to a shelter, he agreed to keep all.
Update: 9/30/12
I paid Ralph a visit today to see how his cats were doing and sadly he said the kitten that I trapped disappeared shortly after his TNR. He was the runt of the litter and had something wrong with his "gait" when he walked but seemed healthy otherwise. Mother is doing just great and the kitten that refused to go in the trap is now tame enough for Ralph to possibly pickup and put in a cat crate.
Update: October 3, 2012....the second kitten was finally caught and neutered. Ralph calls him "Kit".
Update: July 2013: Due to failing health, Ralph has to move out of him home and into an assisted living facility. Of course he can't take the cats as they are semi-feral. I have been asked to help catch and relocate them to his daughter's rural property up north.
Thank you for your visit, your comments are always appreciated, I try to reply all of them. I love to discuss about photography, so if you have some spare time feel free to comment, I'm always happy to read it.
I would be greatful if you follow me in flickr/facebook. Thanks again, have a nice day!

Vintage postcard. Ricky Nelson in Rio Bravo (Howard Hawks, 1959).
American singer Ricky Nelson (1940-1985) was one of the first teenage stars in America. He started his career in his parents' television series The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet. In the late 1950s, he had such hits as 'Hello Mary Lou' and he starred in the Western Rio Bravo (1959) with John Wayne.
Eric Hilliard 'Ricky' Nelson was born in Teaneck, New Jersey, in 1940. His father, Ozzie Nelson, was a bandleader, and his mother, Harriet Hilliard, was a singer in his father's band. As a child, Ricky and his older brother David performed in their parents' radio show (1940-1952), in the film Here Come the Nelsons (Frederick De Cordova, 1959), and in the television series 'The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet' (1952-1966). All episodes of the series were written by Ozzie Nelson, who also directed and often incorporated Ricky's actual songs into the shows. Ricky became one of the first teenage stars in America when his rock and roll career took off in 1957. His first single, which he wanted to impress his girlfriend with, was released in April 1957 by the Verve record company and had 'I'm Walkin' (originally by Fats Domino) as its B-side. Nelson's cover version rose to #4 on the best-selling charts and reached #17 on the Billboard Hot 100. The A-side, featuring the song 'Teenager's Romance', was even more successful and rose to #2 on the best-selling charts and #8 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. His appearance with the songs on his parents' television show played no small part in the rapid success of his first record. In the following years, he became extremely popular with well-known hits like 'Hello Mary Lou', 'Travelin' Man' and 'Poor Little Fool'. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, he had 29 Top 40 hits, and only Elvis Presley and Pat Boone sold more records in the United States. Compared to his success in the US, his international success remained rather modest. His most successful song in Europe was 'Hello Mary Lou'(1961). Ricky Nelson also worked as an actor. In 1959, he starred in the film Rio Bravo (Howard Hawks, 1959) with John Wayne and Dean Martin, and he performed the songs 'My Rifle, My Pony and Me' and 'Cindy, Cindy'. He was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Newcomer for his performance in the film. Alongside Jack Lemmon, Nelson starred in the comedy The Wackiest Ship In The Army (Richard Murphy, 1960),
With the release of the LP 'Rick is 21', Nelson dropped the "y" from his name and released under the name 'Rick Nelson' from September 1961. He made a promo clip for the hit 'Travelin' Man' (1961), which is considered the first video clip ever made. The promo clip consists of images of places that are sung about in the song. In 1963 he signed a 20-year contract with Decca Records, but after 'For You' (1964) he had no more major hits. The 'British Invasion' of the English beat groups also meant a career break for him, as for many other teenage idols. In 1966, the last episode of the TV series 'The Adventures Of Ozzie And Harriet' ran, leaving him without an important mainstay of his success. Nelson changed his musical style and went from Rock and Roll more into country music. His fans did not appreciate this very much. He took on two more roles in TV Westerns also starring his wife Kristin Harmon, The Over-The-Hill-Gang (Richard Murphy, 1969) starring Walter Brennan, and The Resurrection of Bronco Billy (James R. Rokos, 1970) starring Johnny Crawford. Nelson wrote the song 'Garden Party' (1972), in response to the unwillingness of the public to grant him a new repertoire. The song promptly became a hit, Two years later, another modest success followed with 'Windfall'. In the 1970s and 1980s, he fell into oblivion, until 1985, when he successfully participated in a series of golden oldie concerts in England. This led to a similar tour in the southern United States. During this tour, on New Year's Eve 1985, he died in a plane crash in Texas. His girlfriend Helen Blair and all the members of the Stone Canyon Band died with him. He was 45 years old. From 1963 to 1981, Nelson was married to Kristin Harmon, the older sister of actor Mark Harmon. Their twin sons, Gunnar and Matthew, later formed the pop group Nelson, which had a number one hit in America in 1990 with '(Can't live without your) love and affection'. Their daughter, Tracy Nelson, starred in the series 'Father Dowling Mysteries'. Ricky Nelson was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood.

Lionel682 posing beside the steamed up Case that was the volunteer for the hands on portion of the class while holding the Certificate of Completion. the expectation is that the grin is likely to wear off by the end of the month. This was such a rush. It has also opened up some interesting possibilities as I can now volunteer to work with the equipment (under supervision (and all kids need supervision)) at the steam shows in Denton.

As ever we had a wonderful evening at the Carrington Hotel in Katoomba.
Great friends, wonderful dance music and over the top hospitality.
Transformal number nine was a great success.

Some of you will remember that in December 2014, I relocated several dozen Juniper shieldbugs when the trees they were residing in near the office were felled.
Well a few weeks ago, I went back to one of the locations where I'd released some, and was really thrilled to find a few, including this pair in cop! :-)

The strongest factor for success is self-esteem: Believing you can do it, believing you deserve it, believing you will get it. #success
Today I thought a lot about success.... I have always known what i wanted bigger picture wise for my business but I spent the day flip flopping back and forth between thinking I can do and thinking I can't. These days come and go, the days you think you have to throw in the towel and then there are the days (far more of these days) where you know you've got this because you're passion driven. Success happens one step at a time. It will take time, it will take even more hard work but when its what you live and breath, when its the epitome of who you are, when its your dream giving up is not an option. Its hardly even a real thought but self doubt can cloud your vision. You just have to remember that clouds break.
"asleep, passion is a smoldering ember; given air it is a white-hot fire. At its most modest, it feels like a gentle pang; at it boldest, it feels like a desperate need. It's why explorers explore, inventors invent, and painters paint. It's your key to success".
It's been said that the Pasadena Freeway (with similar 5 feet onramps as seen in this picture) was the first freeway, but I'm wondering if the original Bay Bridge was actually the first freeway. Like others, I've driven across this bridge so many times. Sometimes the success of getting from Point A to Point B was eventual, though. One of the most memorable times was during the El Nino of '83 when the rain was coming down in sideways sheets, the wind was gusting at 90mph. If there was an accident, you could be stuck for one or two hours as there is no alternate route once you are on the bridge. I'm not sure how the new Bay Bridge is going to help with those kinds of challenges, but at least it's supposed to be more earthquake safe even though they are making it happen with a temporary fix. I hope it works until the permanent one is ready. It's amazing how much the bolts that hold it together matter.

Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm. ~Winston Churchill
We're still not sure if the Barcelona trip to climb La Sagrada Familia was a success or not. One attempt Qx and myself made to scale the fence ended with us running through the tiny streets with angry Spaniard security guards in tow. We did manage to get up one of the cranes, but it felt a bit like a consolation prize.
Unfortunately this trip followed the infamous biscuits and orange juice evening in Paris and my nerves were a little fried... If only I had of been willing to do that rope swing... sorry about that Qx.
In other news, those who check pridian.net regularly (yes, all three of you) may have noticed that things have been pretty quiet lately. It's not because nothing has been going on, the opposite in fact. For the last 6 months life has been on the road, a state of being which is not conducive to updating websites. The good news is that I've been dragging my camera along every step of the way. From ship graveyards in Iran to the London underground and locations from all the countries in between; there are some pretty interesting things on the way. I'll even be dragging a few photos out of the secret squirrels folder, photos that have kept under wraps for almost four years...
There are also a few changes to the way this site is run. Originally I planned to post one photo every week to ensure only the best stuff goes up. That has resulted in a huge backlog of photos that I just can't bare to dump into the rejects folder. So I've decided to start posting photos on a more regular basis. Don't worry, I won't start posting every single out of focus photo that comes out of my camera. Just every now and then, particularly when I have more than one decent photo from a given location.
Anyway, we're back!
Ok, I'm having a laugh this week, all of the titles of my Photographs, are in fact Song titles.

THANK YOU for all your lovely comments, invitations & awards.
In order for students to be successful in content area classrooms, there are foundational literacy components that need to be taken into consideration. A student's reading level affects his/her ability to comprehend and access information through text materials. Another important foundational element is the background knowledge that the student possesses on the content. When students have background knowledge on a particular topic, they are more likely to make connections and have a higher level of motivation to inquire more on the topic. A third "leg" that needs to be accounted for is the readability of the materials in the classroom. Texts and assignments need to be adjusted to maximize the interaction between the student and the materials. Lastly, the context of instructional methods is important because this allows the teacher to self-reflect and adjust his/her teaching to meet the requirements of his/her students. When one of these foundational aspects is not properly tended to, the students will struggle with learning the content.
Also in my drawing, the bars represent various assessments that help teachers to gather data and compensate instruction and materials based on the needs of the students. All the "legs" rely on one another and these assessments allow for "stability" to occur.
