While hiking, I have been seeing a growing number of people taking only a brief view of the surroundings and then burying themselves in their electronic devices. This ongoing project highlights the need to re-examine our need to unplug and just enjoy the beauty of this world.

I like this coffee shop because they don't have wifi, power outlet or cell phone reception if you sit in the back. You can unplug yourself from the interwebz and phone calls, just listen to music, read some books, or pick some photos to enlarge after sipping a good coffee.

I suppose one could unplug the climate control plug in the center here, as well as the small plug to the left of it. But I did that last, when I realized the main panel wasn't coming out.
Yesterday this ragtag bunch was joined by an unassuming radio astronomer who coincidentally discovered amazing things. She generally doesn't make a fuss about it. Her example of keeping it simple and relaxed can work!
There's an ongoing squabble between Australia and New Zealand about who invented the pavlova. In England they dropped the meringue on the floor, picked it up and called it a mess. New Zealand has clear title to the Hamilton jetboat but wants to continue discussions about the flat white coffee and whether or not it was alright to bowl underarm despite it being allowed in the rules in 1981.
With all of their sheep, admired in a different fashion to the New Zealanders, Australia claims the SiroSet process for making permanent pleats in wool, so you don't have to iron. Australia also brought you the polymer banknote, which you should not iron, and would like to claim WiFi except for the disgruntled USA and Netherlands claimants who weren't awarded the millions in patent violations. It's nothing to boast about but draining the Murray-Darling Basin of water to grow cotton is gaining infamy. According to both New Zealand and South Africa, Australians also invented cheating at cricket.
Tunisia has fairly claimed Shakshouka after the Spanish stole the ingredients from South America and Italy has rightly laid claim to being the home to pizza using a parallel strategy. Imagine a world without the tomato! Among all this and not to be outdone, Canada has commited unspeakable crimes with the potato — adding curd cheese and gravy — and worst of all, allowed the addition of pineapple to pizza to go unpunished.
I'm in a fabulous little pizza place in Betws-y-Coed. It has taken up the cudgels for Wales, and like St Patrick banishing spaghetti from Ireland, has given WiFi the flick, at the same time imposing a penalty for pineapple on pizza.
That little plaque explains:
We are located in the most beautiful national park in Europe…
These days so many people are absorbed in their devices, so we have made the decision to remove our WiFi.
In this time of being contactable everywhere you go grab the opportunity to: Switch off, take in the view, embrace the moment, unplug, say hello to your neighbour and most important enjoy the pizza.
Email can wait.
I'll raise a glass of fine Welsh cider to that, and the uncommonly fine pizza!
In order to remove the Parts-Forming of the original Lego Voltron, I placed the shoulder assemblies on an axle attached to an elevator. This allows the shoulder assemblies to unplug from the body without detaching, raise slightly, rotate 180, and then plug in again.
The legs are connected to the waist via small Technic turntables, connected to a friction system similar to that of the shoulders. This allows the legs to move for both poses and for the transformation.
I got the Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 brand new, an impressive huge and heavy lens, but unfortunately there seems to be some issues with the lens:
1. at aperture f2.8-5 the lens is very soft and produces a very low contrast image
2. this lens seems to be very soft above 50mm
3. I get a strange error, when I do not turn on the camera for a few days with the lens mounted. The error: it can not focus! I have to unplug the lens while the camera is on, mount the lens on once again, then the autofocus works again.
Unplug - balance - reconnect. Unter diesem Motto stand die erste "Reconnect" - realisiert von Offtime und simyo.

The Belmond Andean Explorer operates along one of the world’s highest rail routes in the Peruvian Andes; some of the most breath-taking scenery in the world.
The Club arranges the hotels in Peru before and after the Belmond Andean Explorer journey.
From Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire—traversing the highest plains of the Andes—to the reflective beauty of Lake Titicaca. Take the opportunity to explore the vast Colca Canyon then continue towards the city centre of Arequipa, a UNESCO World Heritage site (or in reverse). Travelling through some of the most breath-taking scenery in the world, Belmond Andean Explorer is designed to connect guests with the abundant nature of the Peruvian Andes.
ACCOMMODATION
The Belmond Andean Explorer has capacity for 68 guests in a range of en-suite cabins including 2 double cabins, 20 twin cabins and 12 bunk-bed style cabins for two people.
There are two dining cars, a lounge car and an observation car with an open-air deck for scenic viewing - and breathing the clear Andean air.
Interior designs, by Inge Moore of The Gallery HBA, are inspired by the texture of Peru’s hand-woven fabrics and the soft tones of the Alpaca wool blended with Andean slate greys, creating a sense of calm thus enabling guests to unplug, relax and enjoy the journey.

So the hot spring is very small. They've set up a trough that runs down past the bath houses. To fill your tub with HOT water, you unplug the stick at the top of the picture. Then you add buckets of cold water from the river til you have a nice soaking temperature. When done, you drain the tub by unplugging the stick stopper at the bottom of the log tub.

Jane Wedlake Cardiff UK died Nov 2014
The room with sofas with milked out windows remarkably blend, 3 strangers, She's brain dead, no hope left, we need to agree on a timescale to unplug her... no rush (but rush non the less, rush!), would you like to donate her organs? sister say no, one lap around block (sister in taught) in the fading light of the British grey gloomy winter, The blotted, almost unrecognisable figure that was once Jane in the bed, head half shaven,first surgery stitches now displaced by second surgery staples, with tubes sticking out of every orifices, including some that nature never intended was now “switched off”, the agony lasted some 11 hours, Gassing at the monitor, listening to the bits of the , I fall asleep out of exhaustion, 3 days without sleep, a hand on my shoulder “its almost over” and so it was, lines on the monitor flattening now chest rising sower and slower, then to zero, my love is dead... Tracey the young nurse, out a pamphlet, bereavement and burial....
Truly alone now, a quarter of century with Jane.... a week of platitudes, a life of pains.

Antmusic is a song by English rock band Adam and the Ants, released as the third single in the UK in 1980 from the album Kings of the Wild Frontier (released 3 November 1980).
Antmusic peaked at No. 2 in the UK in January 1981, being held off the top by the re-release of John Lennon's "Imagine" after his murder in New York City on 8 December 1980. In Australia, the single spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Kent Music Report and earned the band platinum certification for sales of over 100,000 copies. It also reached No. 2 in South Africa, No. 4 in Ireland, and No. 6 in New Zealand. In the North America, the song reached No. 14 on the US Rock Albums & Top Tracks chart, as well as number 19 on the National Disco Action Top 30 chart (alongside Dog Eat Dog and Kings of the Wild Frontier), but it did not find success in Canada.
The music video to Antmusic featured the group playing in a discothèque with a giant juke box, and persuading the young audience to turn away from disco music and dance to the new-styled 'Antmusic'. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antmusic

Carefully remove the bottom plate, being mindful of the cable to the fan. Unplug this cable to reduce the strain on the plug.
Met up with Calista again! I shot them back in October. This is over at paul sanders park down the street at around 8:40. We decided to unplug a soda machine to set my ABs up :P
I'm actually really satisfied with how these came out, especially the individuals.
Haven't shot bands in a long time, make sure to e-mail me or facebook me if you need some work done.
STROBIST (for the first photo): 1 Bare AB800 to the right of band aimed upwards.
super ez steps:
1. Soak bamboo skewers in water to prevent burning.,
2. Marinate chicken breast for at least 4 hours; however, overnight is better. This one has lemon juice, carrots, and itaLian spices.
3. Cut the chicken breast in either cubes or thin strips; your preference. Thinner cooks evenLy & faster, of course.
4. I don't have a BBQ griLL; so, i use my handy dandy mini George Foreman griLL! iT cooks both sides at the same time ;P
5. Make sure chicken is throroughLy done, no pink.
6. Unplug all appliances, drizzLe sauce, put over saLad or rice, and
7. >_____< CHOW DOWN!!!

I couldn't resist buying this miniature orchid. Each flower is just 1.5" across. I didn't want to set up my light box so shot it on the windowsill and used fill flash.
I updated to Photoshop Elements 6 and got Topaz, and this is my first effort of using it for some minor post processing.
It's still raining. A record 6.7" fell in my garden yesterday, for a total of 13.5" since the 15th. It will continue to rain all day today, and there's a 60% chance of it continuing tomorrow. When the rain is accompanied by thunder, as it has often been, I shut down the computer and unplug, so it looks like this may be another post-and-run day. Have a good one.

Getting Real on my cable situation. After reading about the Vampire Slayer Act that California passed I decided that I wanted to unplug anything I wasn't using instead of leaving it for when I needed it.
I found that I didn't even need most of the things there: my Zaurus pda, the unused modem card, the rear speakers for my sound system, the usb cables. I just packed up all that stuff in individual plastic baggies and put it away.
I was left with only four things to plug in the surge protector and a lot of foot room.
I'm still not sure what to do with my incoming cd box.
As before, unplug this harness and fish it out of its channel. This connector is a bit stubborn. If you're not careful, you'll pull off the circuit board connector housing along with the one on the cable. Fortunately, it's easy to reinstall.
The two separate circuits (just clicked together) with jumpers to unused rows so I don't have to unplug and replug output leads repeatedly in congested areas.

Oil Pastel at class. We started out using blow driers which is by far my favorite technique, but after we blew 2 fuses, the Art Center requested that we unplug and switch to turpenoid! Do they make a battery powered blow drier?

Our short vacation trip to BC/AB Rockies was not photography-centric - we went to unplug, unwind, and forget about life at home/work for a few days. The photos I took were captured quickly, and in-between focal activities. They capture the atmosphere of the trip in a peripheral sort of way.
The trip also coincided with historical and devastating flooding in British Columbia. We were lucky to escape back to Alberta via the only available detour before the heavy rains and washed-out highways were compounded by a winter storm.
