A New York City MetroCard, used to ride the subway and buses, does not actually hold any money - it is not a receptacle for a stored value. Instead, each card represents an account that is stored in the Metropolitan Transit Authority's (MTA) main computer, which communicates via phone lines and radio signals with its subway stations and buses. Thus, when a card is swiped it communicates with a local version of the database that determines the value of the Metrocard, updates the account with the transaction, and replicates the transaction change back up to the central system, which in turn replicates the change to all the other subway stations and buses that are controlled by the MTA.
Bar, rural Scotland.
It was a live music night so tourists and their children were welcome.
The child is looking at photos her mother had just taken of singers and musicians.
I was very impressed with this family – mum, dad, the girl and her three brothers. They were French tourists and all of them spoke English among themselves as well as to locals.
Oh that all parents would be so enlightened that their children not only spoke in a foreign language when on holiday they spoke (at least in public) in that foreign language.
One of the brothers (seen out of focus behind and to the left of the girl) was, despite his young age, confident enough to go up to the bar and get himself some crisps.
And, like good parents, after a couple of hours of enjoying the music they left at a reasonably early time.

12-20-07 Flickr Group Roulette INVADES "First Rule of Photography: Everybody Loves a Monkey"
Some kids (my daughter included) LOVE everything Dora (including, Boots, the monkey) - I, DESPISE everything Dora, except for Swiper, the Fox.
The chemical imbalance in my brain led to this picture for today's FGR challenge - a picture with a monkey in it.
{For anyone NOT into Dora, Swiper the fox tends to steal things, the only way to get him to stop is to say "Swiper, No Swiping" THREE times........you do the math!}
Dora, Boots and Swiper, because of the heat here I had trouble getting the bits to stick but I got there in the end.
Jrafe & Swipe
2 weeks of chasing it, finally got a flick of the whole thing, not just the Jrafe.
Theres a Kwest piece on the otherside when I saw this rolling but havent got a chance to get a flick yet.

So I wondered what would happen if I spun a PixelStick, but used a regular image designed to be swiped - not spun. A PixelStick is a device for POV (persistence of vision) light painting images or patterns.
Swiping is an audio/visual animation composed using swipe gestures made on an iPad – a contemporary Abstract Expressionist painting that reflects on the gesture in the digital age. Each new swipe generates a colorful brush-like form that dynamically expands in 3-dimensions, accompanied by synthetic sound. Here, the gesture is not the expressive act that Abstract Expressionist painters such as Jackson Pollock were known for; instead it is a physical command to explore an infinite flow of digital information.
To create Swiping, thousands of gestures were recorded on an iPad and then animated using custom software. Sound by Chris Carlson (@modulationindex). Made with OpenFrameworks

I like to carry a stick when I go for a walk. One use of it is to take a swipe at prickly branches overhanging the path :)

Nokia N78... A light source strapped to a fan and set at low speed. handset doesn't entertain long exposure times, at least not as long as I would like.
Here the fan is standing upright and the shot was taken from about 50 cm at a 45 degrees angle.

La Sera Music Video Shoot for "10 Headed Goat Wizard"
On Location at the Mosaic House in Venice Beach, CA
I remember meeting a new girl.
We went out for a long walk in the woods on a lovely hot summers day. all of a sudden a beautiful fly landed on my arm.
I said to her, look at this fly's beautiful eyes. Then it bit me!
ARRHHH!! I screamed. Then I swiped off this evil creature and run away from it like a little girl ,waving my arms and flicking about my legs as I had shorts on.
I looked pathetic and tried to style it out but it was no use, I looked like a fool!
I will always admire the Horse fly ;)
Horsefly Facts
The horsefly gets its name after the females of the species, as the females feed on the blood of large animals like horses. This article provides more facts about this fly.
TAGGED UNDER: Horsefly

Horseflies belong to the tabanidae family. The other names by which they are known include breeze fly, forest fly, ear fly, or deer fly. They are considered as pests because of the bite that they inflict. Therefore, they belong to the world's largest true fly category. One interesting fact for kids is that the males of the species feed on pollen and nectar while the females suck blood of animals and in some cases, also humans. The males are therefore said to be important pollinators of flowers, primarily in the African continent, South Africa to be precise.
Other Interesting Facts
Horseflies are large and hairy. They are about 30 to 60 mm in length. Flies of this type can sometimes be known as gadflies, zimbs, or clegs. In Australia, they are called 'March flies', while in Canada, they are referred to as Bull Dog flies. There are approximately 3000 species of horseflies around the world, of which about 350 are found in North America alone. Large species like the mourning horsefly, black horsefly, etc. belong to the genus Tabanus, while the smaller and more common banded ones with either black, brown, or yellow bodies, dark markings on the wings, and brilliantly-colored eyes belong to the genus Chrysops. The deerflies, who are notorious for carrying diseases like anthrax and tularemia as well as the filaria worm infestation, also belong to this family. Horseflies are more often found in hot weather.
Life Cycle
Like all other files, this species also goes through a complete metamorphosis from the egg stage to the larval, pupal, and finally adult stage. The larvae are legless and are similar to maggots. They spend most of their time in water or in moist soil. They are known to spend their winters as larvae, after which they pupate in spring, and emerge as winged adults in early summer. The adults do not live longer than a few days.
Reproduction
Mating takes place in swarms, with many flies present at one location at the same time. Locations such as hilltops are chosen for it. The location chosen, the season, the time of day during which it takes place, all these details are said to be specific to particular species. The female lays black-colored, longish, and flat eggs, either on plants or on stones closer to a water body. On hatching, the larvae drop into the water or damp earth. This is where they live. They feed on snails or larvae of other insects. The larvae are somewhat flattened and have fleshy protuberances on each body segment which aid in locomotion.
Diet
As the males of the species feed on nectar and pollen, they are called the pollinators. The females suck blood. This difference is due to the fact that the males do not have the mouth parts required for blood feeding. The females more commonly feed on mammals, but in some cases can also be found feeding on birds, reptiles, as well as amphibians. The female lands on its prey silently and delivers a painful bite with its knife-like mouth parts. If the mouth parts are seen under a microscope, they look like jagged saw blades. The bite is painful because they actually cut a hole in the skin and soak up the blood which comes out. If they are plenty in number, they are known to suck as much as three ounces of blood a day from the host.
Behavior
These flies are very noisy when in flight. Their bite is very painful. They have tiny serrated mandibles with which they rip and/or slice flesh apart. Their bite becomes itchy, and may cause swelling if it is not treated immediately. Therefore, knowing about the treatment is necessary. It is very difficult to get a hold of these flies as they are agile and escape before the victim becomes aware of the pain signals.
Diseases
Apart from causing diseases such as anthrax and tularemia, these flies are also known to cause excessive blood loss in animals. There have been reports of animals losing as high as 300 milliliters of blood a day where these flies are present in large numbers. This can lead to weakness and even death. Apart from this, they can also cause anemia in animals and humans. In very rare cases, they have been known to cause anaphylaxis in humans which has turned out to be fatal.
Now that you are aware of these flies, you have to be careful if you stay close to swamps, marshes, ponds, and farms. Keep a look out for large, hairy flies with wings, bulging eyes, and reddish antennae.
