View on Black Original size will have you thinking you can peel the paint! ;)
I hope you all had a delightfully fun weekend! I made the most of every single second of mine! I accomplished a whole bunch of clean up and laundry on Saturday morning....and food shopping (I detest that job!), a little editing and then went to spend the evening with my bean. Bean II went with his mama and daddy to their evening out at a church dinner. Sunday brought a bit of a lazy morning, as i added myself to Fine Arts America....still working on setting the rest of that up....then went to church....a MOST interesting service today about Judas. Afterwards, i decided that i deserved a day out....just me and my camera. I thought about going to check on the Eagles at Merrill Creek, but i have been lax about buying my new hiking boots.....really need them for the trails. Decided to hit the road in another pursuit entirely. I went to find the town, dubbed as NJ’s Ghost Town. Walpack Center is just under an hour from where i live, and i was set to do this on my own, when i got a call from a friend...when she heard what i was doing, she said she wished she could tag along, but had to pay bills. I told her i was going alone then....if she changed her mind to get to me before 1:45pm. Sure enough....1:30 she texted and asked if i minded having company.....i think she was simply worried about me going to a Ghost Town alone....and what kind of trouble might locate me there! Truth be told, if there is gonna be trouble, it will find me even if she is there!
When i got us there, i was slightly underwhelmed at first. It was a tad too pristine for having been abandoned in the late 1960’s....but, once i parked the car and began to wander around, i began to find things that perked my curiosity. If i could have gotten into the buildings, i certainly would have....but they were all locked up, so i had to be content with peering into windows. I also began to wonder what led to this mass exodus....and decided when i came home to spend a few moments after making dinner, checking it on online.
The story was fascinating....i only knew when i went, that it had something to do with the building of a dam, and that the town had been bought out by the state.....but it was much more than just that! It was positively frightening how it all came down. I suppose i was too young to know about it as a kid....altho i do have a recollection of the name Tock’s Island Dam Project....but not from my childhood here in Jersey....possibly just from later, hearing it discussed.
The story is one of the strange ones in the book, Weird NJ. If you are at all curious, you can read the short story of the saga of Walpack Center here:
www.weirdnj.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=vie...
I can not wait to go back....the town center is only 1 block long and no one lives there except a caretaker....but there are so many other abandoned homes and farms scattered around it in Walpack Twp.....and there is a simply gorgeous hiking trail that totals 9 miles, and encompasses several waterfalls...the prettiest, being Buttermilk Falls....2nd highest in NJ. Oh, yes...i will be getting new boots this week!! A return trip is imminent!!
Oh, and just because i could not get into the buildings PHYSICALLY, there was no reason i could not do it in the ghostly self portrait way that i have become accustomed to doing when i find old windows that i like!! :)
This one, with it’s varied reflections reminds me of “a four piece”, a pattern of quilting!
ENJOY!

Thank you, in advance, to those of you who take a moment to leave a comment and/or fave my photo. I appreciate it tremendously.
This photo can be purchased on Fine Art Paper or HD Metal, in a variety of sizes, on Etsy.
This is the side of a restaurant & bar located in downtown Fullerton, California (USA).
Somebody was having a very creative moment when they created the signage for this place. It appears to be made of metal, and is set away from the wall, causing a very nice shadowing effect.
The restaurant serves authentic foods of Spain, Mexico & Latin America. It also offers fine wines & quality spirit tastings. Sounds like a fun time.
When you step inside the building, you'll discover a very large and beautiful courtyard, complete with a gorgeous water fountain located smack dab in the middle. Cozy & quaint.

Thanks to fellow user Lex-O I'm now fully aware of what's going on, and here's my protest.
In case you guys don't know what's going to happen, here's the text I found on his page.

"BELOW ARE INFORMATIVE COMMENTS FROM OTHERS ABOUT FLICKR BLACK DAY:
Join in the protest against the new layout of flickr.com. Download a Flickr Black Day image and post only the black day "image" to your photostream on December 8, 2013.
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION:
This petition against flickr's changes needs 10,000 signatures. it already has nearly 5,000.
Please sign it:
petitions.moveon.org/sign/change-flickr-back?source=s.em....
********************************************************************** ************
This is a symbolic mark of protest against the new Beta change which Flickr proposes to force upon all users ..
If you wish to make protest, then please only upload a " Black " picture on the 8th December
*** This is available for download should you wish.
With the new platform Beta Team Flickr intend to make further changes that will limit severely the exchanges between users:
1 - There will be no white space below the photo for description, comments or invitations to groups
2 - Difficult to write a comment that contains more than 3 words
3 - We can not see who supports our pics
4 - We can not see in which groups the photo appears
5 - The images of the award will not be visible
6 - The visits will no longer be visible. The latter will only appear in Recent Activity, others will be lost.
7 - For Admin it will become impossible to manage groups so many will close.
8 - Our descriptions, including quotes, links to YouTube or other sites will be hidden
( translated from Italian )
Changes should not delete/destroy/ruin the very factors which caused us to join flickr in the first place ...
Example of page showing how the Beta Flickr shall be.... in first comment.

"Yahoo has new ideas. flickr is offering 1 TB free space for all accounts. Those who want to be rid of advertisements have to pay.
I appeal you all those who plan to quit, to change your mind and stay. You can make use of your accounts just for storage. Make your accounts private, make this image public and use flickr for storage. You can save on external hard disks.
If we check in to a hotel room seeing it's features, should we bear it without a word of protest if they take away the furniture one by one including the bed ? flickr should know that the people who protest are not against 'changes'.
Changes shouldn't steal away the utilities that made people choose flickr.
Protest ! flickr is not just the property of few people who get paid to serve the people that make it. If they offer 1 TB free space for every account, the salaried people who planned it have advertisements in mind. Many unique special utilities made people like you and me join flickr, and flickr is taking away all what that made us choose it. Now the only special thing in flickr is 1 TB free storage. Let's then make use of it, without caring about flickr's revenue. We can seek better places for what we like, still keep this place for storage. If the 'hotel' stinks and cheated us, make it your warehouse or sty. If this is forced on us, you can make your account private, store everything here; display , share and comment elsewhere.
Thank you.
Anuj Nair"

Users of the English version of Flickr may have got the botton " try our new experience Beta"
This is an incredible regression .....once again
No longer any white space underneath pictures for comments, description, invitations etc....
Everything is gathered in a tiny sidebar to the right of the photo in the Lightbox
All features that allow interaction and sharing have gone so groups might also disappear ......
You may take a look here
yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/224533-flickr-photo-page-beta
If you want to save the groups from a certain death, Please click this blue link and go to vote

We had got used (more or less) the first changes, but this time, it is a
total scuttling of Flickr and of its spirit of sharing :(
We can't see who faved our pictures
We can't see the groups the pictures appear in ( except only 8)
Awards images. are not shown
Invitations are not visible except for the last ones (only in "Recent Activity").They're lost.
For admins group management will become a work more and more difficult or even impossible
Groups might close......and groups add visibility to our pictures
Our descriptions including quotes or links to YouTube or other sites are hidden
NO LONGER ANY CONVIVIALITY.. ANY VISIBILITY . NO SENSE
*I specify for those who haven't seen the Beta page;that there is NO
white area under the pictures for descriptions / comments / invitations /
flickr Award Counter
Only a narrow sidebar to the right of the image ,showing ONLY the last 4 comments
White print on a black and depressive background, that hurts the eyes
Unfortunately everything we can do is absolutely useless ....
Unfortunately it is obvious that Yahoo wants to turn Flickr into another social network for teens and young using only tablets and smartphones and whose only interaction is Hi or Lol
Motivated photographers using computers and large screens are no longer interesting users.... ( nor groups since our invitations are only visible on our "Recent Activity "Page....The oldest are lost ....)
How many people know what represents the Beta Page ?? I wonder ?
Only some users of the English version of Flickr ..... but not all of them
All this is very discouraging
T H A N K Y O U !!!!!!!!!

Did you know that flickr has been testing a new beta version of flickr?
I haven't actually seen the beta page but I've had it described to me:
"...there is NO white area under the pictures for descriptions / comments / invitations / flickr Award Counter
Only a narrow sidebar to the right of the image ,showing ONLY the last 4 comments
White print on a black and depressive background, that hurts the eyes
No sense. Hard to write comments exceeding 2 or 3 words
We can't see who faved our pictures
We can't see the groups the pictures appear in ( except only 8 )
Awards images. are not shown in comments : which means that neither members nor admins can check
Admin-Invitations are not displayed ( the last ones are visible ONLY in "Recent Activity").The oldest are lost
For admins , group management will become a work more and more difficult or even impossible
Some groups might close......and groups add visibility to our pictures
They allow us to admire beautiful works and to meet with great photographers.
Our descriptions including quotes or links to YouTube or other sites are hidden
NO LONGER ANY CONVIVIALITY.. ANY VISIBILITY . NO SENSE
In fact this layout specifically targets tablets and smartphones"

Unfortunately everything we can do seems absolutely useless ....
Yahoo and Flickr don't care
Unfortunately it is obvious that Yahoo wants to turn Flickr into another social network for people (mainly teens and young ) using only tablets and smartphones and whose only interaction is Hi or Lol
Motivated photographers still using computers (with photo-softwares) and large screens are no longer desirable customers....
( nor groups since our invitations are only visible on our "Recent Activity "Page....The oldest are lost ....and everything is done to impede their functioning)
Advertising is much much more lucrative than our Pro accounts .......
How many people know what represents the Beta Page ?? I wonder ?
Only some users of the English version of Flickr ..... but not all of them
Users of any other language have not been informed.... amazing No ??
All this is very discouraging
A big special Thank You to Marissa Mayer
Bravo ..You will be be erected a Big / Great / Magnificent / Majestic statue on the ruins of Flickr .... Well deserved

I had the opportunity to illustrate a text of @MarcosBeccari
You can read the complete text here: t.co/mOLvn3v
The quote is from the song Poem by Ed's Redeeming Qualities (they're the funniest band EVER).
I love how it turned out! I designed the flower borders myself and though the lack of perfect symmetry is extremely frustrating I'm not too bothered. This picture doesn't do it justice, it looks WAY better in person.
El texto me extraña, la bici no.
El texto puede llevar al engaño, pero algunas tiendas confían que colocar sus mensajes en inglés los ayuda a vender más. Esto es en el centro de Santiago.
En todo caso, es una linda postal que refleja la floreciente cultura de la bici en Chile.
Muévete en bici hoy, será un buen día.
Petite check-list de ce que je doit faire.. Je vais être pas mal occupée niveau couture. J'ai mis une croix devant ce que j'ai commencé mais je vais attaquer en priorité la tenue de Pun-Ka.
Ensuite enchaîner sur ce qui me paraît le mieux..
*a encore rajouter un truc sur la liste*
*part s'enterrer*
Entre tout sa, j'aimerai prévoir des sets Pullip/MSD/YO-SD... A voir.. Et mettre a jour mon blog !

Except for final text edits, it looks like this is the final version of the time out postcard that will go out to mothers of young children. it's being marketed as a sophisticated night out for moms. coffeehouse setting. singer and songwriter and fellow mom as entertainment. relaxed and social. hopefully i nailed it.
Since my parents have also gone through the 23andMe DNA analysis, we can compare genes.
Thanks for the endurance mom! For those who know her, this is a strong point. =)
The genome-wide comparison above covers almost a million SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms), which are point letter mutations (like A → G or T → C swaps) that have accumulated in relatively recent generations and vary across the peoples of the planet.
For each of the traits, I added a note with explanatory text from 23andMe. For example, the 135 SNPs related to endurance cover “genes that have been associated with different endurance phenotypes, including VO2max (your maximum capacity to transport and utilize oxygen), running distance, exercise time, and power output.”
Immune System Compatibility is also pretty interesting as it is almost entirely genetic, and relates to organ transplant potential and mate preference (we have a natural aversion to people with immune systems too similar to our own). Whew!
The analysis above is on the 22 autosomal chromosomes which are a blend from mom and dad. To look at a segment of DNA that we know only came from Mom, we look at the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) which is outside the nucleus and resident in each of the mitochondria, or “power plants” of our cells. When you were a single cell, that cell came from mom. Dad’s genetic contribution went straight to the nucleus. And as that cell proceeded to divide, the mtDNA was copied as well, now replicated in all of the cells of your body, and entirely derived from mom. The sperm’s mitochondria are mainly in the tail, and the egg cell destroys any that might make it across. And it is abundant. Your liver cells, for example, have about 1500 mitochondria and about 10 thousand copies of mom’s mtDNA per cell.
By the way, this snippet of code is a clue to the endosymbiosis of the distant past where our cells engulfed energetic bacteria to power our much larger cells. The mtDNA forms a circle, instead of a strand, as found in viruses, bacteria and archaea. It also has a high mutation rate, like bacteria, which makes it useful for genetic archaeology.
So, for Mother's Day, it seemed appropriate to look at my mom and all of the moms in her maternal line. Our mtDNA pegs us as Maternal Haplogroup H11a, which is common to Nicolaus Copernicus and Marie Antoinette. =)
23andMe summarizes: "H originated in the Near East and then expanded after the peak of the Ice Age into Europe, where it is the most prevalent haplogroup today. It is present in about half of the Scandinavian population...
H originated about 40,000 years ago in the Near East, where favorable climate conditions allowed it to flourish. About 10,000 years later it spread westward all the way to the Atlantic coast and east into central Asia as far as the Altay Mountains.
About 21,000 years ago an intensification of Ice Age conditions blanketed much of Eurasia with mile-thick glaciers and squeezed people into a handful of ice-free refuges in Iberia, Italy, the Balkans and the Caucasus. Several branches of haplogroup H arose during that time, and after the glaciers began receding about 15,000 years ago most of them played a prominent role in the repopulation of the continent.
Haplogroup H achieved an even wider distribution later on with the spread of agriculture and the rise of organized military campaigns.
Recent research indicates Haplogroup H made its way into the deserts of northern Africa via the Strait of Gibraltar."
And for those wondering how we know Copernicus’ mtDNA, we turn to The Spittoon: "Even though DNA begins degrading immediately following death, the genetic material is often preserved in the teeth for hundreds or thousands of years. Scientists studying ancient DNA (aDNA) usually focus on the type of DNA that has the greatest chance of surviving: mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which is passed exclusively from mother to children. The sheer abundance of mtDNA makes it much more likely to survive; each cell contains hundreds of copies."
This is an illuminated and illustrated copy of the famous story of Joseph and the Potiphar's wife (Yūsuf va Zulaykhā) by Jāmī (d. 898 AH / 1492 CE). The manuscript was written in India in the late twelfth century AH / eighteenth CE in black nastaʿlīq script. There are forty-seven paintings illustrating the text. The lacquer binding with floral decoration is attributable to the thirteenth century AH / nineteenth CE.

Have a happy weekend dear friends! :-)

On the Eve of New Year holidays, the company Louis Vuitton ( www.louisvuitton.com/ ) has made a gift to their customers. Right in the store customers could sign a greeting cards.
Each customer himself thought the text of wishes, and I wrote this text on cards. A calligraphical composition – pure improvisation. Postcards with warm wishes was a touching sincere complements to the magnificent gifts, bought at the store.
В канун Новогодних праздников компания Луи Виттон ( www.louisvuitton.com/ ) сделала подарок своим покупателям, предоставив эксклюзивную услугу, – возможность подписать поздравительную открытку. Каждый покупатель сам сочинял текст пожелания, а я писала этот текст на открытке. Каллиграфическая композиция была чистой импровизацией и делалась в присутствии клиента. Фирменная открытка с тёплыми и искренними словами – прекрасный и трогательный сюрприз, дополняющий великолепие подарка, купленного в Луи Виттон.

Grandiose delusions or delusions of grandeur are principally a subtype of delusional disorder but could possibly feature as a symptom of schizophrenia and manic episodes of bipolar disorder. Grandiose delusions are characterized by fantastical beliefs that one is famous, omnipotent, or otherwise very powerful. The delusions are generally fantastic, often with a supernatural, science-fictional, or religious bent (for example, belief that one is an incarnation of Jesus Christ).
Grandiose delusions are distinct from grandiosity, in that the sufferer does not have insight into his loss of touch with reality.
