Well, when this lil guy wasn't eating stuff that disagreed with him, he stuck to the safer option of his Mothers milk, as they say in Little Britain....you can't beat a bit of Bitty....lol...:))
So as I said yesterday, I said goodbye to my old car this morning and took charge of my new VW Golf.....I'm sooooooooo not looking forward to driving that on Sunday, it's a great car, it's just that I hate having to get used to driving something new...it's also a lot smaller then I have been used to and I couldn't even start it, when I got in it for the first time!!!...apparently these days they have new safety features, in that you have to press the clutch pedal whilst turning on the ignition to start it!!!...Hmmmmm, apparently this stops kids and hmmm, me it would appear..lol...from nicking them!!
So hopefully I'll get used to it during the 70 mile journey back to Colchester this weekend...I see a lot of stalling in my future lol
Anyhoo....I hope you all have a wonderful rest of Friday and you also have an awesome Weekend..:))
Mangabeys are some of the most rare and endangered monkeys on Earth. These large, forest-living monkeys are found only in Africa. They look somewhat like guenons but are bigger. Local people call some of them "the ones with the thin waist" or "four-eyed monkeys" because some mangabey species have bright white eyelids. Taxonomists have put mangabeys into two separate genera: white-eyelid mangabeys Cerocebus sp. and crested mangabeys Lophocebus sp., based on physical differences. White-eyelid mangabeys are most closely related to mandrills and drills, and the males are much larger than the females; crested mangabeys are more closely related to baboons and geladas and both males and females are about the same size. All mangabeys have tails that are longer than their bodies, providing balance for them as they scamper through the rain forest canopy.
Depending on the species or subspecies, mangabeys can be golden brown, gray, dark brown, or a soft black, usually with a lighter color on their underbellies. Youngsters are usually darker than the adults. White-collared mangabeys Cerocebus torquatus have reddish hair on their heads, a "beard" on each cheek, and white hair that wraps around their neck like a collar (hence the name!). Black mangabeys Lophocebus atterimus have long, grayish brown whiskers that almost cover their ears and a high crest on their head—a pointy hairdo!
A swingin' home ~
Like most monkeys, mangabeys are very much at home in trees, spending most of their time there. However, white-eyelid mangabeys are also comfortable on the ground, traveling on their hands and feet between patches of forest or to forage in the leaf litter for tasty food items. In some areas of the forest, the ground is swampy, but it’s not a problem for the mangabeys. Webbing between their fingers and toes helps these amazing monkeys to swim! All mangabeys are excellent jumpers, and gray-cheeked mangabeys Lophocebus albigena and white-collared mangabeys have tails that are strong enough to help them hook on to branches as they leap about the forest canopy.
Monkey business ~
Mangabeys live in groups, called troops, of about 10 to 40 individuals, depending on the species and the availability of food and habitat. There is usually one adult male that acts as leader and the troop's defender, but sometimes the larger troops have two or three adult males that split off with their own family units to forage for food. When a male becomes sexually mature he leaves his troop to find another one to join. If he can't find one, he will live alone until he does; single males do not form all-male groups. When there is plenty of food available, mangabey troops will often gather together for a while and even exchange troop members.

“Where’d ya’ get that money and fancy webbing from?” asked Spider.
“Bit of work on the side,” replied Spider, winking and touching her nose.
“What sorta’ work?” asked Spider.
“Selling diaries for the year 2098 to the Mafia,” replied Spider.
“Oh,” said Spider. “That’s very organized crime.”

Pictured are troops wearing the new Virtus body armour and load carrying system in a mock foot patrol scenario .
The new Virtus system uses the latest materials and offers the same protection as Osprey body armour but is significantly lighter, moves with the body more easily and produces a slimmer profile. The amount of protection employed can be scaled up or down to match the type of threat by adding or removing soft armour pads and hard ballistic plates. It is compatible with both Osprey and Enhanced Combat Body Armour.
A new, lighter helmet will provide increased blunt impact protection, face and mandible guards for certain roles and a shape that is designed to work with the armour and daysack so weapons can be comfortably used even in a prone position.
One of the most radical innovations is an integral 'spine' - the 'dynamic weight distribution' system. The device is linked to the user’s waist belt and helps spread the load of the body armour, a Bergen or daysack across the back, shoulders and hips.
The system also employs a new quick-release mechanism – a pin positioned on the chest that when pulled releases the entire body kit.
Virtus Scalable Tactical Vest (STV)
The Scalable Tactical Vest (STV) can be used for load carriage without any armour; as a fragmentation vest with soft armour padding consisting of a composite granular material but no hard plates; as a plate carrier with no soft armour; or as a full body armour system with soft and hard armour. It is compatible with both Osprey and Enhanced Combat Body Armour.
Any combination of front, rear or side plates can be employed.
The STV comes in seven different sizes for a tailored fit. Chest size and torso length instead of height are now used for measuring. Modified lower profile soft armour further reduces the bulk when compared with Osprey, allowing for more agility.
The quick-release pin allows the STV to be removed in a couple of seconds with one pull. This applies when it is used in any of its configurations.
A lightweight webbing system is designed to be worn under and integrated with the body armour.
Both the daysack and Bergen are fully integrated with the rest of the torso sub-system. This ensures that they are carried close to the body preventing excessive movement of the load but without pushing the rear ballistic plate into the body. Both can be used in conjunction with the dynamic weight distribution system.
Pouches are made from one piece of fabric and fold flat when empty, minimising profile and the possibility of snagging.
The dynamic weight distribution system contains a hard spine that takes the load and is linked to a hip belt. This allows the soldier to transfer the weight of his load from the shoulders to the hips or the other way via an adjuster positioned in the small of the back.
Troops and equipment need to be sized correctly for the DWD to be effective. It is estimated that personnel will need a day’s worth of training and familiarisation with the kit.
The Virtus helmet has a fixed shroud for the mounting of night vision goggles and a counterweight for neck comfort.
Its fit can be easily adjusted in the same way as modern cycling and climbing helmets.
The sculpted rear prevents interference with body armour or daysack when adopting a prone fire position.
It provides more protection to the side of the head and is 350g lighter than the Mk7 it succeeds.
The helmet can be fitted with both mandible guard and visor, or either, which provide face protection for crews in open vehicles such as Jackal or WMIK.

when my dad says, "amy, get your camera." i know its gonna be something good. this shot is my favorite out of all the ones i took.
[more in comments]
i <3 bokeh, spiderwebs, and waterdrops, omg.
Plz Check for Acre switch for This Dual system form Spider here .
The Camera Holster is a unique way to have 2 professional DSLRs simultaneously at the ready. Designed to carry heavy-duty pro cameras, this is a serious hip-mounted belt/holster system that provides a way to wear 2 DSLRs on your waist as a cowboy would his six-shooters. This gives you more freedom than you would have with 2 cameras dangling from your shoulders, and is more comfortable, especially over long periods of time. Alternatively, you could carry a camera on your right holster and an extra lens (attached via its tripod mount) on your left holster, or vice-versa. It is recommended that you carry a smaller body/lens combination on one side for maximum comfort during extended shoots.
This System improves upon the Single Camera system with the addition of another Holster, Plate and Pin. It includes a belt made from webbing materials similar to those used in army/police equipment. The belt features a triple-lock buckle and fits most waists with its adjustable 28 - 50" (71.1 - 127 cm) size. The rest of the package consists of a pad for comfort, 2 holsters, 2 camera plates and 2 pins. Using this system, you can remain hands-free while your DSLR hangs at your side, waiting for that grab shot. The SpiderPro belt holds the entire rig, the holsters hold the cameras, the cast aluminum alloy plates attach to the tripod sockets of your cameras and let you easily connect your quick-release for tripod use, and the stainless steel pins attach to the plates. The entire assembly slides into the holsters, which secure to the belt using Spider's 2-position triple lock buckle system. Your cameras stay at your side while retaining complete freedom of movement.
When the cameras are slid into the holster, they lock into place. When placed into the upper portion of the holster, they're ready to be drawn as soon as the lock releases - just as if you were wearing a holstered pistol. This heavy-duty system is targeted at the "run-and-gun" shooter who is constantly on the prowl for that "keeper".
Cameras lock into place each time they're returned to holster - in lower position, locks keep cameras secure for longer-term carrying, and in upper position, locks disengage for quick and easy access
Gives your cameras freedom of movement at your hips, and allows you to carry them comfortably without having weight on your shoulders for extended periods of time
Adjustable belt fits most waists, is made from webbing materials like those used in army/police equipment, and features triple-lock buckle system
Pad for comfort, 2 holsters, 2 aluminum alloy camera plates and 2 stainless steel pins
Extremely durable and designed specifically for active shooting situations

After months of experimenting, we are proud to roll out the M1 Steel Pot with webbing pattern. These won't last long..
Today is my 10yr anniversary of getting hurt at work. Which led to a series of spinal injections and then failed back surgery. Leaving me totally disabled with a condition called "Lumbar Sacral Adhesive Arachnoiditis."
The name comes from the webbing process that happens in the spinal cord and blood vessels as they try to cover the injured area with scar tissue which then causes it to all stick and bind together much like a spider web.
Cutting off your nerves and blood flow. The nerve roots become tethered where they exit from the spin. Making a simple cough or sneeze, a "seeing stars" moment.
Some days it's hard to take a breath and others it's okay. 10yrs already, where did the time go??
On the good side. Before I got hurt, I never noticed flowers blooming or the simple colors of a stop light. It led me to pick up photography as more than just taking snapshots though life. Which brought me to Flickr and making a number of good friends to share my life with here.
Many of you keep coming back and viewing my photos so that really makes me feel good. And thanks to everyone who hangs in there with me when I drop off here and there. I appreciate seeing the world through your eyes. I mean it.
My Dad always told me to not be the person who lives life looking back and wishing he had done this or done that. No looking back and feeling sorry you didn't apply yourself to reach the dreams you have..
Because of his simple advice, I learned how to scuba dive, became a private pilot and loved to play some golf here and there. I even was a certified hostage negotiator at one time. Ha.. Who knew??
I Also married the girl of my youth and we have had 35 great years together. God has blessed us with a wonderful family and now grandchildren. To me, life does not get much better than this. Each day is a blessing and I'm going to live it the best I can. No looking back right??
If you have a dream, do it.. Don't look back wishing you had. You might not get another chance.. And if someone gave you some good advice, let them know. I wish I could tell my Dad how much I appreciate his wisdom.
*** Update 2011
If you've found this image from a internet search about Arachnoiditis, here is some info for you about this condition.
With a proper Dx, you can qualify for SSDI in the USA. Arachnoiditis is listed in the SSDI Blue Book.
I found this interesting spider webbing on a stem of Prickly Phlox (Linanthus californicus aka Leptodactylon californicum, Polemoniaceae) in the woods today. I believe the frizzy webbing is the work of a cribellate species of Mesh Web Weaver in the family Dictynidae. The webbing is comprised of very fine threads that are spun into strands like hand-spun wool or chenille yarn, different from ordinary spider webbing. I have photos of similar webbing here, here, and here - not to mention my shot two photos [Back]. There's more info at Wikipedia and a nice article in The Atlantic. Note that the plant is starting to green up even though we've had no rain yet for this season. Arachtober 30b and Happy Web Webnesday! (San Marcos Pass, 30 October 2019)
Pictured are two members of the Military Provost Guard Service (MPGS) and their patrol vehicle guarding Apache Helicopter’s at the Army Aviation Centre at Middle Wallop.
The Military Provost Guard Service (MPGS) provides professional soldiers to meet armed security requirements at Royal Navy, Army, RAF and other MOD bases in Great Britain.
Stationed at over 106 sites, the MPGS have their own Military Local Service Contract which allows soldiers to choose where they wish to serve, providing there is a vacancy.
The primary role of the MPGS is to counter the terrorist threat posed to military bases in Great Britain through the provision of armed guarding services.
The MPGS is part of the Provost Branch of the Adjutant General's Corps and is under the direction of Provost Marshal (Army), who is the Director and Head of Service.
MPGS units are formed under the command of their respective Head of Establishment, with Provost Marshal (Army) maintaining technical standards through annual inspections.
The Apache attack helicopter can operate in all weathers, day or night and detect, classify and prioritise up to 256 potential targets in a matter of seconds. It carries a mix of weapons including rockets, Hellfire missiles and a 30mm chain gun, as well as a state of the art fully integrated defensive aid suite.
In addition to the distinctive Longbow radar located above the rotor blades, this aircraft is equipped with a day TV system, thermal imaging sight and direct view optics.

Hi I'm Jeff and this is George ---We're having a blast playing in the snow this weekend. George is 7-years old and doesn't mind the frigid temps, but sometimes snow collects and sticks to the fur on the webbing between his toes. (He's a golden retriever - webbed feet for swimming) The snow builds up into little ice balls and he has to stop and chew them out of his fur. Then it's back to playing and running around in the snow!

'"Sister, sister, what dost thou twine ?
I am weaving a wreath of the wild Woodbine ;
I have streaked it without like the sunset hue,
And silvered it white with the morning dew :
And there is not a perfume which on the breeze blows
From the lips of the Pink or the mouth of the Rose,
That's sweeter than mine - that's sweeter than mine :
I have mingled them all in my wild Woodbine".

This is spider webbing on berries of native California Honeysuckle (Lonicera hispidula) in the Caprifoliaceae plant family. The berries look tasty, but they taste quite bitter, even when dead ripe. Even the birds seem to ignore them. Arachtober 27 and Happy Web Webnesday! (San Marcos Pass, 23 October 2021)
The Crested Screamer is a bird native to South America. As its name implies, it has a rather unmelodic call that can sometimes be heard for miles. Its body is large and goose-like but its head is closer to that of an ornate chicken or raptor. Minimal, vestigial webbing at the base of their long toes gives the, the ability to swim, and a large bony spur on the inside of each wing gives them the ability to fight. For those of you interested in comparative anatomy, these birds lack uncinate processes. An uncinate process is an extension of bone on each rib to which ligaments attach, strengthening the ribcage. These are the only living birds today that don't have an uncinate process. Extinct species of Archaeopteryx also lacked these bony processes. Despite their notoriety as noisemakers, these crested screamers never made a peep during my visit! #Crested Screamer
It seems like there are more spiders than bugs around our house. looks like all of the babies have hatched and now they are slowly going to wrap our house in webbing. I am not really afraid of spiders and recently was bitten by a pretty big one, but they are becoming a bit of a nuisance while doing the daily chores.
I do find them interesting and beautiful though. Fascinating really.

very fast and small pretty bird.
The energetic Blue-gray Gnatchatcher rarely slows down, fluttering after small insects among shrubs and trees with its tail cocked at a jaunty angle. Blue-gray Gnatcatchers often take food from spiderwebs and also abscond with strands of webbing for their tiny nests, which are shaped like tree knots.
