Aprovechando la idea de las fotos anteriores y sabiendo el gusto de mi hijo por Apple y además no estando muy inspirada les dejo esta propuesta
I don’t think we can be friends,
There’s that thing you do that irks me,
I should tear you into shreds,
Too much passion for a Pisces…
I prefer to live a lie,
Occupy a body I don’t recognise,
Until you trust me,
Who am I? Never mind,
Why you acting so damn nonchalant?
I shot a bullet & I aimed it at your heart,
You must like the burn, ‘cause you come back wanting more,
Always seem to find a way to kill my vibe I,
Like it better when you tell me no,
You were just a number on my phone,
Now I got your body face down,
I'm paralysed, deep inside,
Every night it's the same damn thing
Walking by her clothes on the floor like you think you’re the only one,
If you only knew who I really was, you would pack your bags & run,
I can feel a weight on my chest but I don’t think I’d call it love,
No, it’s not love,
Tell me what you want,
It would seem the heart in my chest isn’t all you wanted,
Tell me how it really feels,
Being just one step from possessed, I’m haunted
Devil by your side, what a twist,
I can see your eyes, & I think you’re bewitched, yeah
I can see the fucking smile on your lips, yeah
I think it is the prisoner captured by the patrol of the Infanterist Behn (1/18) the last day of the year 1915 (or maybe sooner difficult to say regarding the text) regarding an other photo in the history book of the bayerische Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment 18. He looks bigger on this photo but the fold in his cloth match perfectly the photo in the history book. The insignia on the collar of the left-soldier lead toward the bRIR18.

Transcription of the Regiment history book :
"Ein Jahr, getränkt mit Blut und Eisen, lag hinter uns. Der leste Tag eines Jahres ist immer ein ernster Tag. Wir wünschten uns nicht nur ein gutes Jahr gegenseitig, sondern dachten dabei auch an das Gesamtwohl unseres Volkes.
Durch nichts wurde jedoch der harte Dienst unterbrochen. An der Aufklärung vor seiner Stellung im Landersbachabschnitt hatte jedes Bataillon gleichen hervorragenden Anteil und keine Gelegenheit, dem Feinde Abbruch zu tun, blieb ungenügt. Besonders vor dem schlauchartigen Verlauf der Hangstellung nach der Talsperre beim Schulhaus von Landersbach und vor der Sperre selbst, war ein weites Feld der Betätigung, wenn auch der Feind nahe genug auf dem Nacken saß.
Aber auch am Flienkopf, wo sich das III./18 wie „zu Hause" fühlte und im Mättle, dem Stammabschnitt des I./18, stählte nicht minder zäher Stellungskampf den Kampfesmut der Truppen. Keine Nacht verstrich, ohne daß Patrouillen im Vorgelände waren, deren Berichte zu den Ruhmesblättern während dieses Stellungskampfes ge hören. Es liest sich überaus kurz, zeugt aber von unerschrockener Tat- kraft und großer Schneid, wenn eine lakonische Meldung der 1. Komp. lautet: „Eine Patrouille, geführt von dem Inf. Behn, holte einen Alpenjäger aus der feindlichen Stellung herüber." Leider ist der tapfere Behn dabei gefallen. Dem Inf. Sturm gelang es, den sich heftig wehrenden Franzmann dann herüberzubringen."
Translation : "A patrol led by the Inf. Behn brought an Alpine hunter over from the ennemy position. Unfortunately the brave Behn was killed in the attack. The Inf. Sturm then managed to bring the Frenchma, who was putting up a fierce fight, over."
I wasn't able to identy the unit of this Chasseur probably part of the 66e Division-d'Infanterie even looking at all the JMO available online.

Side photo of Rodin's Thinker @ Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, MI. On loan from the Detroit Institute of Art.
[I'm quite proud of the fact that I managed this one with a Manual focus 500mm lens. Its extremely difficult to shoot birds with such a long Manual lens & doing so teaches you a -lot- abt exposure, camera control & most importantly induces a whole lot of patience in you. The 2 other photographers who came along with me on this shoot were both equipped with high speed focus lenses. By the time I'd manage to set up my mamoth lens & try focussing, they would have each exposed atleast 10 frames. It was really frustrating at times... but the learning is phenomenal!]
i’ve been messing around with veggie burgers on and off for some time and i think i got pretty close to what i wanted out of it. you might notice there are a couple spots where i add a little oil, to give the burger just a little better mouthfeel. i guess if i really wanted it juicy i could have added lard, but that would have been a bit naughty! The egg is important too, vegans, so you’ll just have to suck it up or do without (it’ll probably work that way too, though), as this is vegetarian, not vegan, if i’m understanding the political divide correctly.
1- 1.5 cups chickpeas. i expect you made your own in a pressure cooker- canned is evil and expensive
about a half cup of sticky rice, cooked
i slice stale bread (which i expect you baked yourself, as store-bought is expensive too), chopped fine. the bread is super duper important- it helps bind everything together and retains moisture
about a teaspoon of potato starch- this too helps bind everything and retain moisture
i large egg
a couple scallions, chopped fine
about .25 cups curly parsley chopped fine
half a portabella cap, nasty black gills scraped off, washed, and chopped fine
a splash of olive oil, with more for spritzing
a splash of worstershire sauce (oops, there *is* anchovy in worstershire, use tamari and a smear of dark colored miso)
a squirt of siracha
pinches of paprika, salt, ground pepper, sugar, cumin, and herbs de provence
throw everything but the chickpeas together and swirl it all together, then add the chickpeas and start crushing it together with a potato masher. you want it lumpy, with some of the chickpeas still in big chunks- this’ll keep it chewy. i think if you mashed it into a paste the resulting burger would end up mushy- you don’t wanna bite into this and have it squirt out the sides of the bun.
divide the mixture 4 ways and form 4 burger sized patties with your hands- put them on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper, spritz them with more oil, and bake at 350º for a half hour. you can use them as burger now, or wrap them in the parchment paper and stash it it the fridge until the next day or whatever. if you reheat them, try and let them warm up to room temp if possible. fry them (at medium) in a covered non stick skillet (with a little oil), two minutes on a side. these burgers have enough structural integrity to survive flipping with a spatula( the right kind for nonstick surfaces), though i wouldn’t risk them on a grill. when you flip them over the first time, lay some cheese on top if you so desire.
[...] While we stop to think, we often miss our opportunity [...]

Dedicated to Cat who continually inspires me with her strength, her wisdom, her humor, and her love for her friends and family.
And to my mother who taught me that it's not what gets taken away from you that counts, it's what you do with what you have left.
To think! I was going to actually going to adopt her out!
LOL! Look at her! She was just so darned cute, there was just NO WAY I was ever going to part with her.
HA! Perhaps if I could have fast forwarded to the present, and seen what an attitude she would develop as she got older, I might have been given it more consideration...............
NAH! She's my grumpy girl, and I love her!
I took that shot in probably the most famous shooting spot in NYC...I was just facing the wrong direction ;(
The Thinker
Rodin
Cleveland Museum of Art
This is one of several photos I took for the cover of the Materials Science and Engineering Department brochure at Case Western Reserve University. It is from circa 1987. It was taken using a Kodak B*W film designed for documents with a very high contrast.
Not the Rodin, of course, but the corny yard art (about 5 inches tall) that makes us smile. This 'intellectual' holds court in the ivy in front of the crepe myrtles. Happy Labor Day weekend!

I think you'll agree this is a fairly serious hunk of glass! The Kiev Automat series of SLR cameras was produced by the same factory in the Ukraine that produced the Kiev rangefinder cameras that are much more familiar in the west. For their time (1960s and 70s) they were surprisingly advanced bits of kit, with bayonet mount lenses, open aperture metering, and shutter speed priority automatic exposure. There were two models, the earlier 10 had a selenium cell meter mounted above the lens, while the later 15 you see here upped the ante with through-the-lens battery operated metering.
This example is in pretty nice condition and good working order, apart from the metering which is not working because of a corroded battery compartment.
These cameras had a hefty dose of Zeiss Ikon Contarex DNA. But unlike the Kiev rangefinders common in the west, which were pretty slavish copies of pre-ware Zeiss Ikon Contax rangefinders, the Automat cameras had plenty of really quite impressive home-grown Ukranian engineering.
As far as I know they only ever made 5 lenses in the Automat mount, but it was a pretty useful range none-the less: a 135mm f4, an 85mm f2, a 53mm f2, a 37mm f2.8 and this lens, a 20mm f3.5 ultra wide angle.
Just like the camera, this lens is a hefty peice of engineering. The front element extends in from of the outer metal rim, so filters cannot be used, although the lens does come with an adapter that allows the use of enourmous 95mm filters. My lens even came with 2 original Ukranian filters!
I think this is some kind of Agave plant. If you look at it in a particular way, it is an example of a bi-stable illusion (as in Rubin's vase). Is the dark green in the center the foreground leaf, or is the light green to the left the foreground leaf?
I think I've got this right...

I just couldn't pass this one up - though I can't remember at the moment if it was in Ordway or Olney Springs, Colorado.
A set of red lanterns across the pedestrian bridge to Southbank had a dramatic impact on the Brisbane cityscape. I think their pink hue looked really nice reflected on the rivers surface and then up to the clouds.

Bougainvillea glabra 'Singapore Pink'
No Multi-group invites or large glitter graphics please! None is better
Here are all the mobile phones I've owned. Starting from the left we have:
Ericsson SH888
Originally introduced in 1998, I was given it in about 2000 by someone I used to work for who worked for Ericsson. It was one of the earliest dual-band phones and also one of the first with built in infrared. I think I managed to get it to talk to my Psion 5 once. Very solid and dependable.
Ericsson T39m
In 2001 I took out a contract with Vodafone and chose this phone to go with it. It features tri-band, Bluetooth, predictive text, GPRS and a WAP browser, nice clear screen and very good battery life. It's also very light and thin. It's seen a lot of use: I used it for just over two years I think, then I lent it to my housemate who used it for a year or so. It still works fine, though it is a little worn. One of the best phones Ericsson made.
Sony Ericsson T610
Oh dear. I don't know what came over me with this one. I thought it was time I had a new phone on renewing my contract and the T610 caught my eye with its retro styling. This was in 2003 or so. Ericsson and Sony had joined forces to make phones and my good experience with the T39 lead me to believe this one would be OK. How wrong I was. Sony brought nice styling to the partnership, unfortunately rather than combining it with Ericsson's robust content they apparently discarded it altogether. It features a colour screen which is unreadable outdoors and a camera which not only takes pointlessly small 288x352 pictures, but the sensor lends a green tint usually and the optics distort to the edge of recognition. The software is very sluggish, especially when opening the text message inbox. The keys and joystick are not great, though they're even worse when mango chutney is applied I found. Yet another negative is the level of bastardisation by Vodafone, most annoyingly that the right-hand soft key always goes to "Vodafone Live" which I hardly ever used and was not allowed to change.
Nokia 6630
Just as soon as that contract was up I got this phone. I realised my mistake and so was much more careful choosing this one. Put off Sony Ericsson I decided to switch to Nokia and to splash out some extra cash to get a fairly high end smart phone. Definitely content over looks this time, it is a bit bulbous, funny looking and bulky. After the T610 the content is a very large breath of lovely fresh air. The very first thing I did was reassign all the shortcuts on the standby screen, because I could. Features a nice bright screen which is very legible in all lighting conditions, especially with the sensor which varies the backlight brightness depending on the ambient light level. It has a 1.3MP camera with reasonable optics though like nearly all phone cameras it doesn't cope well with bright lights in the shot. Has 3G and the keys are good and responsive. The main feature though is Series 60 which is a version of the Symbian OS. There's a fair bit of software available for it, including a version of PuTTY which is very handy. It takes a reduced size dual-voltage MMC memory card, it took me a while to find a compatible one, but I eventually got a 256MB card off ebay. It didn't take too long to fill it with music, pictures and text messages. One gripe with the software implementation is the lack of integration between the Symbian apps and the phone functions, for instance the clock and calendar applications have no connection so there is a lack of sophistication in how alarms can be set, one can't have different alarms repeated on different weekdays. I'd like to be able to set alarms which switch profiles for meetings, lectures etc. One can include a person's birthday in their entry in the contacts database, but it doesn't show up on the calendar.
Nokia E70
I've just got this one. After a fair bit of research, I was seriously considering the N93 with its 3.2MP camera with auto focus and 3x optical zoom, but then I saw some results and came to the conclusion that the quality is still not that good. So Instead I went for this phone, the most exciting feature of which is the full and very nice to use qwerty keyboard, or is it the 802.11G wireless networking? Probably both equally. SSH on this phone is a joy, nethack is quite playable though the 'b' key is on the other side of the screen to the rest of the direction keys. The WLAN really is great, if I'm at home or near an accessible network (including unconfigured netgears) I can use the networking features of my phone without worrying about paying for every byte. The browser has had mixed reviews, I think it is mostly very good. It copes with just about every page, including flickr with all its javascript, and though you get a little frame view onto the entire page it always seems to be wide enough to fit the main text column without having to scroll sideways to read the text. A major problem with it is the lack of RAM. It often runs out of memory on graphics heavy pages, though sometimes just reloading helps. Quite a hassle for me is the lack of ability to download a file linked to from a page, all it can do is attempt to open it with an installed program. I can't even find a way to copy and paste the linked url nor indeed any text on a web page. Again it suffers from a lack of integration between phone and application functionality. Yesterday I looked up a restaurant's phone number on their web page and wanted to dial it, all I could do is commit it to memory, switch to the phone interface and type it in.

If you think the massive eruption of Mt. St. Helens 37 years ago was impressive, you're right. But if you'd been on the south side of the mountain some 2,500 years ago, this scene would have scared the daylights out of you.
A huge lava flow came down the flanks of the volcano and into the Muddy River Valley. There, it just about filled the deep valley the river had cut through an earlier lava flow.
In the intervening 2,500 years, the river eroded away much of the recent flow, creating a new valley with a dramatic, 200-foot waterfall.
Sources say the river valley was hidden from view by the dense forest that grew over and around it. The valley was choked by mud and other debris that had come down the river, hiding the falls from view.
That all changed on May 18, 1980, when the north side of Mt. St. Helens was destroyed by a volcanic eruption triggered by an earthquake.
A wall of mud, rocks, trees and volcanic ash came roaring down the south side of the mountain and right down the Muddy River Valley.
In the process, the mud flow, called a lahar, scoured out the Muddy River Valley, exposing the ancient waterfall and the eroded basalt lava from the eruption 2,500 years ago.
Today, it's a great place to go on a day trip from Portland, which is what my geology class did yesterday.
