Wow that was a blooming hot weekend and such a fun one.
Back into the reenactment, and what a good start. This was taken on the first day and was the main backdrop for our VE day street party scene. They had games for the kids outside our house and a tone of flag waving was done by all.
The beer tent Saturday night wasn't as mad as I remember but we still had a good night with me turning in at half twelve, still not a fan of camping but worth it.
Sunday wasn't as busy, thankfully.
The best part was the unit winning best in show something to make us all proud of the effort we put in.
my wife told me she was expecting a few of her girlfriends over at 6:00, she told me I had to stay out of sight. I stood there defiantly, with my hands on my hips & told her that I was not going to stay out of sight, my wife said, fine, I 'll let my friends meet my sissy, faggot husband.
Olean, NY. August 2016.

Crotti, caratteristici di Chiavenna, antica cittadina ricca di arte e cultura allo sbocco delle valli Spluga e Bregaglia, sono cavità naturali formate dall’addossarsi di macigni staccatisi dai fianchi della montagna in epoca preistorica.
Tra gli spiragli di questi massi soffia il "sorèl", corrente d’aria a temperatura costante (+6/8 gradi), da sempre sfruttata per la stagionatura e la conservazione del vino e dei prodotti locali: bresaole, insaccati, violini di capra e formaggi.
In Valchiavenna, quasi ogni comune ha una sua zona dove i crotti formano degli insiemi edilizi e urbanistici assai suggestivi, incastonati fra le rocce, addossati gli uni agli altri.
Per i chiavennaschi il crotto è il luogo dove incontrarsi e passare momenti in buona compagnia, perché è nel crotto che "si beve vino bono e si tiene scola de umanità" (da una scritta del 1781) e "se mangia e se béef in dialèt", come scriveva Giovanni Bertacchi, il massimo poeta del novecento della provincia di Sondrio.

French postcard by EPC, no. 225. Photo: MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). Luise Rainer in The Great Waltz (Julien Duvivier, 1938)
German-American-British film actress Luise Rainer (1910-2014) was the first to win multiple Academy Awards and the first to win back-to-back for The Great Ziegfeld (1936) and The Good Earth (1937). At the time of her death, thirteen days shy of her 105th birthday, she was the longest-lived Oscar recipient, a superlative that had not been exceeded as of 2020.
Luise Rainer was born in 1910 in Düsseldorf, in then the German Empire (now Germany). Her parents were Heinrich and Emilie (née Königsberger) Rainer. Her father was a businessman who settled in Europe after spending most of his childhood in Texas. Rainer's rebellious nature made her appear to be a "tomboy" and happy to be alone. She started her acting career in Berlin at age 16, under the pretext of visiting her mother, she traveled to Düsseldorf for a prearranged audition at the Dumont Theater. In the 1920s the theatre director Louise Dumont separated from her husband. Dumont was attached to a number of young actresses including Fita Benkhoff, Hanni Hoessrich, and Rainer. It has been presumed that Dumont was bisexual. Rainer later began studying acting with the leading stage director at the time, Max Reinhardt. By the time she was 18, several critics felt that she had an unusual talent for a young actress. She became a distinguished Berlin stage actress with Reinhardt's theatre ensemble. She also appeared in several German-language films. After years of acting on stage and in films in Austria and Germany, she was discovered by MGM talent scout Phil Berg, who signed her to a three-year contract in Hollywood in 1935. He thought she would appeal to the same audience as Swedish MGM star Greta Garbo. Mayer assigned actress Constance Collier to train her in speech and dramatic modulation, and Rainer's English improved rapidly.
Luise Rainer's first American film role was in the romantic comedy Escapade (Robert Z. Leonard, 1935) with William Powell. It is a remake of the popular Austrian Operetta film Maskerade/Masquerade (Willy Forst, 1934). The film generated immense publicity for Rainer, who was hailed as "Hollywood's next sensation." The following year she was given a supporting part as the real-life character Anna Held in the musical biography The Great Ziegfeld (Robert Z. Leonard, 1936), featuring William Powell. Despite her limited role, her emotion-filled performance so impressed audiences that she was awarded the Oscar for Best Actress. She was later dubbed the "Viennese Teardrop" for her dramatic telephone scene, attempting to congratulate Ziegfeld on his new marriage, in the film. On the evening of the Academy Award ceremonies, Rainer remained at home, not expecting to win. When Mayer learned she had won, he sent MGM publicity head Howard Strickling racing to her home to get her. She was also awarded the New York Film Critics' Award for the performance. For her next role, producer Irving Thalberg was convinced, despite the studio's disagreement, that she would also be able to play the part of a poor, plain Chinese farm wife opposite Paul Muni in The Good Earth (Sidney Franklin, 1937), based on Nobel Prize-winning author Pearl Buck's novel about hardship in China. The humble, subservient, and mostly silent character role was such a dramatic contrast to her previous vivacious character that she again won the Oscar for Best Actress. Rainer and Jodie Foster are the only actresses ever to win two Oscars by the age of thirty.
However, Luise Rainer later stated nothing worse could have happened to her than winning two consecutive Oscars, as audience expectations from then on would be too high to fulfill. A few months before the film was completed, Irving Thalberg died suddenly at the age of 37. Rainer commented years later: "His death was a terrible shock to us. He was young and ever so able. Had it not been that he died, I think I may have stayed much longer in films." After four more, insignificant roles, MGM and Rainer became disappointed, and she was dubbed "Box Office Poison" by the Independent Theatre Owners of America. Adding to her rapid decline, some feel, was the poor career advice she received from her then-husband, playwright Clifford Odets. She ended her brief three-year Hollywood career and returned to Europe where she helped get aid to children who were victims of the Spanish Civil War. Nevertheless, she was not released from her MGM contract and, by 1940, she was still bound to make one more film for the studio. Some film historians consider her the "most extreme case of an Oscar victim in Hollywood mythology". Rainer studied medicine and returned to the stage. In 1939, she made her first appearance at the Palace Theatre, Manchester in Jacques Deval's play 'Behold the Bride', and later played the same part in her London debut at the Shaftesbury Theatre. Returning to America, she played the leading part in George Bernard Shaw's 'Saint Joan' in 1940 at the Belasco Theatre in Washington, D.C. under the direction of German emigrant director Erwin Piscator. In 1943, she made an appearance in the film Hostages (Frank Tuttle, 1943). Rainer abandoned film making in 1944 after marrying publisher Robert Knittel. She made sporadic television and stage appearances, appearing in an episode of the World War II television series Combat! in 1965. She took a dual role in a 1984 episode of The Love Boat. She appeared in the film The Gambler (Károly Makk, 1997), starring Michael Gambon. It marked her film comeback at the age of 86. Luise Rainer passed away in 2014, in Belgravia, London, England. She was 104. Rainer married Clifford Odets in 1937 and they divorced in 1940. Her second husband was publisher Robert Knittel. They were married from 1945 till his death in 1989 and lived in the UK and Switzerland for most of their marriage. The couple had one daughter, Francesca Knittel.

Workshopx is announcing a contest for photographers interested in social and environmental issues. The winner will receive a free place on the in-depth documentary photography workshop in Krakow, Poland, September 2015, lead by Alex Masi (and three other tutors, including me).
The purpose of the week-long workshop is to increase the understanding of the process behind constructing a successful photographic documentary and managing longer-term projects. Combining our unique teaching model with the knowledge and experience of an award-winning photojournalist, we will work together to help you become a conscious visual storyteller who is in control of their own work and whose story has a significant impact on the audience.
The deadline for submissions is 3 Aug 2015

I wasn't expecting this. I really should know better by now: people love their Lego, and Lego adaptations of [insert pop culture icon here] are like geek catnip. It happened last year when I did the Mass Effect Citadel, and whenever I manage to finish the Ringworld (still in progress! not abandoned!) it's likely to happen again.
But damn.
So far GLaDOS has been picked up by Brothers Brick, Kotaku, Rock Paper Shotgun, G4TV, Joystiq, Machinima, and an absolutely astonishing number of other places. And earlier I learned that the Kotaku article had actually been syndicated on the Portal 2 news feed that displays in the Steam sidebar when you're looking at the Games Library entry for Portal 2. It's scrolled off now, but I think at this point my life may actually be complete.
I average between one to two thousand total page views on my photostream per day, about half that when I haven't posted anything in a while. Yesterday I had 71,510. As of this writing it is currently 8:53 PM by Flickr time (GMT), and there have been 122,761 total page views across my photostream today. This is a simply astonishing amount of traffic, so I feel obliged to redirect some of it to my friends.
If you are coming here from elsewhere because you love seeing Portal in Lego, you should definitely check out Legohaulic's ATLAS and P-Body and LDM's Turrets. I haven't tried building either subject matter because they've already done it perfectly.
Arkov is a huge Valve fan and has been building Lego based on Valve games for a long time, including an amazing Dog that you may have seen before.
I'm pretty sure all of those creations have been featured on The Brothers Brick at some point, which is arguably the first place you should go if you want to start your morning by looking at awesome Lego builds.
Finally, those of you who've been doing backflips over the WIP Portal Gun (excuse me, ASHPD) that I'm working on should know that it's a modification based around parts of several accessories from BrickArms, a supplier of high-quality aftermarket minifig-compatible weapon accessories designed by Will Chapman.
I will be keeping the GLaDOS model intact, and she will be on display at Brickcon 2011 in Seattle this October.
Thank you to everyone who has linked to, commented on, faved, or otherwise shown your appreciation for my work. And thank you, of course, to Valve--who created GLaDOS and these excellent games--and to their concept artist Jeremy Bennet, on whose work the Portal 2 version of her was based.
