aNNNNNDDDDDDD she's done. Our glorious real live tree is set up and ready for display. I remember moving into this house and noticing the recessed light in just this one spot and wondering what it was, but I figured out it must be for a tree, and how wonderful it is. There is a light switch which specifically controls the plug down below as well, so you flip the switch rather then plug and unplug the lights each day. And look what my favorite ornament EVER has done to the roof. My disco ball ornament under the light has cast this cool pattern all over the ceilings and walls. I love it. Every year, I buy one new round ornament for the tree. This year, I haven't found one yet. I was looking for a camera ornament, even though I already have one, but I couldn't find one. I did find an awesome buzz beer one from the Simpsons, but I have a thing about the promotion of alcohol and cigarettes, I just don't, so even though its fictional, I passed on it.
Love this tree. It's so beautiful, and is like the best part of the holiday season. The HOA (home owners association) is having their annual decoration contest, and I know I wouldn't win b/c I just have one strand of star lights across the porch, but my neighbor has Black Wonderland over there all over her yard, and I didn't really see anyone else with anything going UNTIL I drove round, and there was this house that was flashing green, then red, then the lights on the roof, then on the lawn, then on the door, and I thought, show offs!!! LOL. The prize is only a 50 dollar gift card to Lowes, so I mean, nothing to go out and spent 90 dollars on trying out outfit your house, but it would have been nice to have our block win it.
Surprise, surprise to me, the usual corner guy who puts up lights has been totally MIA this year. It used to be just he and I doing the lights thing on our block before the family moved in next door, but he has nothing out. Three of our other neighbors have put up wreaths, including the newest neighbor that moved in probably 2 months ago, but no one has seen. Literally we came up with this plan from the lady yesterday at the hospital to bring over Christmas cookies to all our neighbors, just so we can innocently find out who they are. I see cars in and out, I see an x-mas wreath, but we've yet to actually see them. Oompa Loompas much?
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.
The Garage in Burnsiville is a getaway for teens. They offer support to those who need it and many resources.Along with helping teens, they put on shows in their venue, many times oflocal, mostly unknown, musicians. On November 30, we went to The Garage and saw4 different artists. The main event was, or most known, was Chase Coy. Alongwith Chase Coy there was: Rival Summers, Unplug Stereo, Backseat Goodbye. Theacoustic styling of Chase Coy and Rival Summers could make any teen heartsmelt. Unplug Stereo and Backseat Goodbye played enriched tones and deepharmonization. All of the performances had an upbeat, positive out look to their music.
The atmosphere of the show was magnificent. The small size of the crowd made it so you were able to interactone-on-one with the artist. When one artist was done playing their set theywould come into the crowd and shake hands, and even bust out their sweet moves.The bands were so in touch with the crowd. They were even laid back enough totake photos with anyone after playing their set. The highlight of the night wasgetting up close and personal with Rival Summers. Our group was able to discusshow he got the oppurtunity to go on tour with the other musicians. The whole experience was filled withuplifting music, positive atmosphere, and friendly faces. It is a high quality venue for teensat a relatively low price.
The city lights (especially the CN Tower and the Rogers Centre (dome at the base) beckoned through the windows of our hotel. But the rain-dirt spattered hotel window glass made shooting a decent picture close to impossible.
Thanks to Kim Crawford, Jen Deyenberg, Alana Callan, and Heather Durnin for the exploratory jaunt to the restaurant at the top of the Westin's south tower in search of a better vantage point. It was fun! Unfortunately, the glass there was just as difficult to shoot through.
Prior to turning in, I took a little walk. This picture was snapped a block or so west of the hotel, from street level (no domed stadium lights visible), but I managed to find a street car instead.
Time to Unplug from this space. Off to The Edge bright and early tomorrow morning!

Of course the one day I decide to wear a skirt to work is the day our big refrigerator decides to blow up. It's really hard to wedge yourself behind a big ass fridge and maneuver to unplug it when wearing a skirt.
Visit by Philip McMaster 大龙 Da Long 菲利普Philippo to the Affiliated High School of Yunnan Normal University to Introduce the 3 finger Sustainability Symbol, 3 Finger Wednesdays and the Peace Plus One - World Sustainability Project.
On 3 Finger Wednesday, we do 3 things... 1. Change Our Face, (Be Happy) 2.) Change Our Diet (Don't Eat Meat) and 3.) Unplug Ourselves (Unplug unnecessary electrical appliances, and Unplug yourself and give yourself a rest from technology)

a laptop cooling stand with 3 blue led fans. This one was slanted for laptop use, so I evened it out by sticking on 1 inch thick rubber feet on one side. This plugs into any usb port. Only turn-off is that you have to actually unplug it each time to turn it off.
Great day, great dinner, great song! Lyle Lovett's song Closing Time popped in my head looking back into the restaurant where we had just had a wonderful dinner. Old Town Eureka - shutting down for the night.
I got this idea and directions from School for Us.
Put shaving cream on a baking sheet. Spread it out.Add drops of food coloring and smear around with toothpicks or forks. Place a piece of paper on top and press down. Lift up paper and scrape off shaving cream with a spatula. Then wipe clean with a cloth or paper towels. Paper dries fast!
12 January 2010:
EEEENNNEEEEERGYYYYYYYYYY seriously seriously Red Bull is like my I DON'T KNOW, MY CURE ALL AND AND AND UH
..I'm not THAT bad, actually. Though, I've been trying to "unplug" my ears all day (still leftover from being sick), drinking water, forced-yawning, everything, and nothing worked. Then, two swigs of Red Bull and suddenly OH GLORIOUS SOUND~ It is a phenomenon that cannot be explained.
Speaking of unexplainable phenomena... I was sitting in the library at school today, next to the men's bathroom--I don't know why, poor seating choice on my part I guess--and I notice this guy walk into the restroom. Ok. Cool. No big deal. Right? But then, a few minutes later, the same guy walks out of the bathroom, except now suddenly he's holding...A SANDWICH.
HE WENT IN EMPTY HANDED AND LEFT... WITH A SANDWICH. ...WHAT. Maybe it's like...in women's bathrooms there's those quarter machines with tampons and pads and stuff. Do they have SANDWICH MACHINES in men's bathrooms? Was there a random exchange of SANDWICHES going on by the sinks or something? Or maybe the HAND OF GOD reached down and was all SURPRISE! HAVE A SANDWICH.
Also, wow, every time I have said "sandwich" so far, I have spelled it WRONG.
INCLUDING JUST NOW ;;; But anyway,
TODAY'S WORD: Bloviate
DEFINITION: To boast pompously
PRONOUNCED: BLO-vee-ate
Fun fact! I learned this word from listening to Protest The Hero! WHO SAID METAL NEVER TAUGHT YOU ANYTHING (USEFUL)??
== Español

: An audibly visual tribadelic experience.
: An exquisite mix of art, music, and food.
: A growing family.
_________________________________
The Concept:
As a culture, we have found ourselves entwined with the exponential growth of technology. Our everyday lives are entangled with the necessity for electronic machines, digital devices, chiming alerts, charging ports, LED screens and high speed connectivity.
This summer, we are extending the invitation for you to come unplug with us.
For three days and two nights, we will power down the communication devices and engage in conversation without texting. We will eat meals by the fire and connect socially without the social network. We will appreciate nature in its true form: up close and personal, without the pixels.
We welcome you to our tribal village.
_________________________________
The Intent:
Our intention as a Tribe is to provide you with an experience from which you can take inspiration and knowledge back into your everyday lives and create a better world for yourself and those around you
_______________________________________
The Atmosphere:
-Immersive decoration installation by Fractaltribe
-Visuals by Levitation Theory
-Sound by Sonic Beating
-Acoustic Jam Session hosted by YOU. Bring your drums, noise creators and music makers!

thanks to our nerd household I am now using a laptop from Stuart. the mac mini (which fails to do what its supposed to since the 10.4.11 update) has to sit on the floor. it's his fault! bastard! ... looking up what it means in english ... (I have to improve my english swearing)

Daily Shoot - Power plugs are ubiquitous. Can you make a creative photo of such a common thing? Try it today.
Ok, so this is a real stretch for this challenge. This is the sunrise from our balcony in Los Cabos, Mexico. Since all energy starts with the Sun, I figured I could make a loose connection to a power plug ;-)
Day one of our vacation, (travel days don't count), started with breakfast on the balcony at dawn and whale-watching. I have decided to unplug while we're here. I brought my little netbook, which choked just trying to download the large RAW files from my camera. Processing them with this thing will take too much time away from relaxing! After all I'm on vacation and I have way more pressing things to do :-). I'll take my shots and then upload them and catch up with all of you when I get back. See you in a week...

You would not believe how many IC clips and parts I melted/smoked
while testing this desulfator. I unplug one pin and all of a sudden a
TO-220 part hits 300F and is smoking. IC clips melting everywhere.
Developing this kit has been a exciting disaster.
