At first glance they appear just like any other security company.

 

But Target is unique in the sense that they use Clip-On Microphones and CCTV

to record your details; so you don't need to fill in any forms. brilliant.

The guards are characterised by ease and friendliness too - which makes for

a refreshing change.

While shooting the practice races at the Edmonton Honda Indy, I had my shutter speed set to high and did not get the panning shots that I wanted. Tonight I decided to try the motion blur filter in PSE 9 and see what I would get, here's the result

Not bad for my first time ever shooting a handgun. 100 rounds, all in scoring areas :)

Target Pharmacy can flavor your medications in tuna or beef for free. I'm sure some humans would love that too. Felines aren't the only ones who like beef or tuna.

建筑画报: 在一个平坦的方形基地上我们将有无数种方法来建造“两座独栋住宅”。巴拉圭建筑事务所bauen用这个白纸一样的基地设计了一座住宅,并将建筑融入到人工造景之中。在相互镜像的人工山包中,建筑师在两座建筑之间留出了一个隐藏的中心庭院,在住宅前面又建造了一个三角形游泳池。自然石材砌成的挡土墙切割了小山包,创造了两层通高的起居室空间,立面由玻璃幕墙封闭。细长的钢柱从石材隔墙上分叉隔离,支撑了弯曲的屋顶,这个屋顶与山体的弧线相一致,同时还为公共空间引入了大量自然光线。土堆下方是私密的卧室和车库,地表不停车。(感谢 bauen & designboom) >微刊《建筑画报》| 微博 @设计社 | 微信 shejishe>http://www.shejishe.com/submit 来自http://dd.mu/=A41+
