A lot of people have asked what comes next.
The answer? We don't know any better than you do.
I know that I met this amazing, funny, sweet person, and I'm completely wild over her. That I've had her in every minute of my life for the last week, and that every minute felt right. And that tomorrow everything changes.
After that?
I really can't say. I wish I knew. Really, we're taking it minute by minute and sometimes it feels like we're spinning out of control.
We say our strange goodbyes and go back to phonecalls and webcams - the technologies that once seemed fresh and exciting are a step backward; a step apart. It's going to be hard. I know that much.
I'm hoping a California trip is in the cards.
But I can only see as far as Monday. School begins. Xelia will be gone. We're left with memories and marks; a cold spot in the bed where someone is missing.
The weapons and art of this booth was created by high school students from Alva, OK. Sales went back to the students.
Golf 1
Despite several commendable attempts, Volkswagen was unable to come up with a true replacement for the highly popular Beetle at the end of the '60s.
That changed with the arrival of the Golf in June 1974. This compact, medium-size model, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, broke with the Volkswagen tradition of an air-cooled rear-engine. It was replaced with a transversal water cooled four-cylinder engine and FWD. Similar to the Beetle, its forerunner, the Golf also became an example for the competition.
This was even more the case with the arrival of the GTI in June 1976. With its 1.600 cc engine and Bosch K-Jetronic injection the latter developed 110 bhp, and for its time, produced breakneck performances, with among others a top speed of 182 km/h.
Two months later Volkswagen brought another revolution with the Golf Diesel : that of the small, high revving diesel engine. It would be years before the competition would be able to come up with a satisfactory answer.

WEEK 26 – Halfway through the year throwback pics!
Perhaps the title to this picture will “ring a bell” (how punderful) to the first photo I uploaded upon joining flickr, entitled Welcome to Flickr (There is no exit). There certainly isn't any exit: in that first picture, I wasn't sure what to expect of myself (as I promised uploads “sporadic” at best), let alone others. Astoundingly, I have, as of today, wound up with a whopping 295 uploads (meaning I'll be breaking 300 tomorrow, and I only broke 200 at the start of the summer!), as well as the many warm welcomes, conversations, and friendships all of you have granted me. Today's photoset, in accordance with my half-year on flickr (meaning I'm halfway through my Saturday weekly uploads!), features the other photos from the Horn Lake Target that I took the same day as my first upload.
That day would be August 23rd, 2014, and evidently I decided to get a picture of Answer Phone #9. Turns out, I got more than one – and little did I know that I would use the other one as a reference photo, in regards to what lay underneath the map...

"C'mon, answer the fucking door!..."
"Adam, I really don't think he's here."
"His car is in front of the house, Cody!"
"Bruce Wayne has tons of cars, man. Some of them he doesn't exactly take to cocktail parties...."
*CRREEEEK*
"Good evening, gentlemen. How may I help you?"
"Alf--- Mr. Pennyworth, right?"
"That is my name, sire."
"I'm Adam Janusick, friend of Tim Drake. I need to speak to Bruce Wayne, it concerns Tim!"
"Mr. Janusick? I believe I remember you. You took a foam raft of sorts and floated around our fountain."
"Now's really not a time to hold old stuff against me, This is important!"
"Hold such a humorous antic against you? Why would I do such a thing? You shined some light to this rather dark place."
"That's cool and all, but where's Bruce Wayne?"
"Master Wayne is out for the night. Might I ask why you wish to see him and not Master Drake?"
"Lemme guess, Wayne's busy fighting Killer Croc right now or something?"
"Excuse me?"
"Do you know what Bruce and Tim do with their nights at all Mr. Pennyworth?"
"Of course. Master Wayne either attends parties or business matters, while Master Timothy is either with you or his girlfriend Stephanie."
"Yeah, about her, she's kinda in deep trouble, too. They've been captured and now their lives are in danger. For all I know they're dead already! Please, you gotta get Bruce for me!"
"Mr. Janusick, of all your antics this one is the least humorous."
"This isn't a damned joke! Do you really want Bruce to lose another Robin!?"
"Robin? I'm sorry Mr. Janusick, I'm afraid I have no idea what you're on about."
"You gotta be shittin' me! Tim and Steph are gonna die! We need Batman NOW! Look, we have the coordinates to where they're being held, if you could just--"
"Excuse me, but the phone is ringing, important matters. Have a good evening gentlemen."
"Where the hell do you--HEY!"
*SLAM*
"Son of a BITCH!!!"
"Well, if it helps, you're probably right about what Bruce is doing."
"Yeah, no shit. And now there's no way to get him!"
"Yesterday's news said the Justice League were active with relief efforts for a disaster-struck Pera Langit."
"So he's on the other side of the fucking planet!? FANTASTIC!"
"What are we gonna do?"
"Something I don't wanna do, but as far as I can tell I've got nothing better to do. Wanna go to the costume shop with me?"

are we that busy staring at out feet that we never realised we can find the answers we need written on a wall?
or we just stumble in this smitten sentences just to feel unrealistically fine?
Die Kirche wurde 1321 von Karmeliten erbaut . St. Anna vereinigt Baustile von der Gotik bis zum Klassizismus. Zwischen dem 7. und 20. Oktober 1518 wohnte Martin Luther in dem Kloster Sankt Anna. Am Rand eines Reichstages sollte sich Martin Luther einem Verhör durch den päpstlichen Legaten Kardinal Cajetan unterziehen. Weil es in Augsburg kein Kloster der Augustiner-Eremiten gab, zu denen Martin Luther damals noch zählte, lud ihn der Prior des Karmelitenklosters, Johannes Frosch, ein, bei ihm zu logieren. Die beiden Geistlichen kannten sich von der gemeinsamen Studienzeit in Erfurt. Schon im Sommer 1518 war in Rom der Ketzereiprozess über Martin Luther eröffnet worden, zu dem er auch vorgeladen war. Weil sich aber der Landesherr Luthers dafür einsetzte, brauchte sich Martin Luther nicht in Rom zu verantworten, sondern konnte nach Augsburg kommen, um sich dort den Befragungen zu stellen.
Kardinal Cajetan war bei den wichtigsten Parteigängern von Papst und Kaiser, den Fuggern, in der Maximilianstraße untergebracht. Dort fanden auch die Gespräche oder wenn man will Verhöre Martin Luthers am 12., 13. und 14. Oktober 1518 statt.
Leider brachten die Gespräche zwischen Martin Luther und Kardinal Cajetan kein Ergebnis. Und weil Martin Luther und seine Augsburger Parteigänger sich sorgten, dass es Martin Luther genauso wie Johannes Hus, der 100 Jahre früher als Ketzer verbrannt wurde, erginge, floh der Verhörte in der Nacht vom 20. auf den 21. Oktober 1518 heimlich aus Augsburg, wobei ihm seine Sympathisanten halfen.
Der Prior des Karmelitenklosters Johannes Frosch schloss sich später der Reformation an, trat 1523 von seinem Amt zurück und heiratete 1525. Zu Weihnachten des Jahres 1523 wurde in der Anna-Kirche die erste protestantische Liturgie gefeiert und das Abendmahl unter beiderlei Gestalt ausgeteilt. Der Bischof von Augsburg hatte dagegen keine Handhabe, weil die Klöster weder seiner noch der städtischen Jurisdiktion unterstanden. So konnte Johannes Frosch 1523 unter dem Schutz des Stadtrats auch eine evangelische Gottesdienstordnung einführen. Faktisch war durch die positive Haltung des Augsburger Bürgermeisters Ulrich Rehlinger und des Stadtrats damit die Reformation in Augsburg eingeführt.

The church was built in 1321 by Carmelites. St. Anna combines architectural styles from Gothic to Classicism. Between 7 and 20 October 1518 Martin Luther lived in the monastery of St. Anne. On the occasion of a Diet, Martin Luther was to be interrogated by the papal legate Cardinal Cajetan. Because there was no monastery of Augustinian hermits in Augsburg, to which Martin Luther still belonged at that time, the prior of the Carmelite monastery, Johannes Frosch, invited him to stay with him. The two clergymen knew each other from their time as students in Erfurt. In the summer of 1518, the heresy trial against Martin Luther had already been opened in Rome, and he was also summoned to attend. However, because Luther's sovereign was committed to the case, Martin Luther did not have to answer for his actions in Rome, but was allowed to come to Augsburg to face the questioning there.
Cardinal Cajetan was staying with the most important partisans of the Pope and Emperor, the Fuggers, in Maximilianstraße. This is also where the talks or, if you like, the interrogations of Martin Luther took place on 12, 13 and 14 October 1518.
Unfortunately, the talks between Martin Luther and Cardinal Cajetan did not yield any results. And because Martin Luther and his Augsburg partisans were worried that Martin Luther would suffer the same fate as Jan Hus, who had been burned as a heretic 100 years earlier, the interrogated man fled Augsburg secretly in the night from 20 to 21 October 1518, with the help of his sympathisers.
The prior of the Carmelite monastery, Johannes Frosch, later joined the Reformation, resigned from his office in 1523 and married in 1525. At Christmas 1523, the first Protestant liturgy was celebrated in the church of St. Anne, and the Lord's Supper was administered under both forms. The Bishop of Augsburg had no control over the monasteries because they were not under his or the city's jurisdiction. Thus, in 1523 Johannes Frosch was able to introduce a Protestant order of worship under the protection of the city council. In fact, the positive attitude of Augsburg's mayor Ulrich Rehlinger and the city council introduced the Reformation in Augsburg.

The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind.
Bob Dylan pondered many questions in that iconic song. And of course, there answers were, well, blowin’ in the wind. And that in turn conjures up images of things blowing in the wind, and what better thing to represent that than a simple reed?
We hum (or sing if we are so inclined) that song quite a lot, but often, with a surprisingly cheery lilt. Yet, when it comes down to it, the song isn’t really about cheery things at all, and the questions it asks are not easy ones to ask or answer. Mountains washing to the sea? Cannon balls flying? Doves “sleeping” in the sand?
This tune was indeed running through my head as I was composing this shot. I didn’t, and don’t, have any answers, but it seemed to me that this shot represented the song quite well. The wind for me continues to blow: perhaps one day it will carry to me the answers.
Haii people xD So, I got a lot of questions from my friends, so I thought I would start this one off! Here we go :3 Oh yeah, this photo I took in the mall a few days ago xD
Who was your first Bratz doll? My first doll was First Edition Cloe. But, she's gone now, and I'm still looking for one in a good condition.
What's up with you and Blondie? xD Well, we talk in school a tad, and we text alot, but I'm afraid to get close to him like I was. Let's just say his girlfriend wants me to jump out of an airplane....without a parachute.
Who would bully you? That's a good question. Honestly, I think it's the people that are prissy and bitchy. Why? Because I'm different. I don't like being a stuck up slut. I like being a freak.
How many dolls do you have? Well, in total with every type of doll I have....I'd say around 150, maybe more O_O
When will results be up? Results will be up before the weekend :) Just school got in the way again ._.
How are you doing? I'm doing pretty good, just tired xD
Why do you have better taste in music than me? xD! I didn't know I did x3
Do you like jerkey? Weell...I'm a vegitarian so...no xD
Why am I asking so much? Because you can xD
What's your fave movie? Hmmm....I like all the National Treasures, Goonies, all Pokemon movies, and Love and Other Drugs. I can't choose one xD
Whos your celeb crush? Avan Jogia <333333333333333333333

Who's your fave MH? Either Frankie or Ghoulia :D
Whos your fave bratz doll? In my collection...It's a tie between Jenna and Misty :)
Do you like the 10/10/10 Bratz better than the Bratz now? Nope, I hate almost all the new Bratz right now. I don't like the body shape, nor the faceups. I usually buy for clothing. xD
How long is your hair? It goes down to the bottom of my back...Idk how long that is exactally >.>
What is your religion? I'm Protestant, but I don't go to church...I'm not really a die hard religious girl, but I (for the most part) believe in God, Jesus, etc.
Whos your fave singer? Taylor Swift :D If you ask me what band, I will not be able to tell you. I will combust.
What pets do you have? I have a 28 year old slider/box/mud (we really don't know xD) turtle named Mr. T, and a Domestic Shorthaired cat that's 2 years old. Her name is Little Miss Kitters ^O^
Do you have any deformaties? I started laughing when I read this question xD I AM NOT AN ANIMAL. I AM A HUMAN BEING. (old movie reference xD) And well...Hmm....the whites of my eyes aren't white. They're a light blue. My doctor said it's because I was supposed to be blue eyed, but it faded and just never really...left. xD And I'm short. xD I can't think of any others!
If you had to eat either 16 raw steaks, or 500 Fire Ants, which would you pick? Uhhmm...Again, being a vegitarian I can't eat the steaks...So...I'm stuck with Fire Ants a la EWW. xD
What is your wishlist for Bratz dolls? I have many on the list, I'll make a seperate photo for that. But, my number one doll right now is Sweet Dreams Sierra I believe :D
How do you cut doll hair? I'm really not that good at it xD I usually brush it out, get it wet, straighten it, then cut to the length I want to. If I screw it all up, I figure out some way to make it work.
How do you get rid of bangs on a bratz doll? I just cut them off as close to the roots, then I go back with a nail clipper and rip out the little pieces left. xD
Please, ask more questions so I can do another photo! :D
Some of you may have noticed that, unfortunately, owing to the fact that a certain person who sells truck photos on eBay commercially has been lifting my images from this album and selling them I have had to remove 2300 photos that didn't have a watermark. I have now run around 1700 through Lightroom and added a watermark with the intention of bulk uploading them again. Rather than watermark the existing (hidden) files in Flickr one at a time it will be easier to do it this way. I definitely won’t be adding individual tags with the make and model of each vehicle I will just add generic transport tags. Each photo is named after the vehicle and reg in any case. For anyone new to these images there is a chapter and verse explanation below. It is staggering how many times I get asked questions that a quick scan would answer or just as likely I can’t possibly answer – I didn’t take them, but, just to clarify-I do own the copyright- and I do pursue copyright theft.
This is a collection of scanned prints from a collection of photographs taken by the late Jim Taylor A number of years ago I was offered a large number of photographs taken by Jim Taylor, a transport photographer based in Huddersfield. The collection, 30,000 prints, 20,000 negatives – and copyright! – had been offered to me and one of the national transport magazines previously by a friend of Jim's, on behalf of Jim's wife. I initially turned them down, already having over 30,000 of my own prints filed away and taking space up. Several months later the prints were still for sale – at what was, apparently, the going rate. It was a lot of money and I deliberated for quite a while before deciding to buy them. I did however buy them directly from Jim’s wife and she delivered them personally – just to quash the occasional rumour from people who can’t mind their own business. Although some prints were sold elsewhere, particularly the popular big fleet stuff, I should have the negatives, unfortunately they came to me in a random mix, 1200 to a box, without any sort of indexing and as such it would be impossible to match negatives to prints, or, to even find a print of any particular vehicle. I have only ever looked at a handful myself unless I am scanning them. The prints are generally in excellent condition and I initially stored them in a bedroom without ever looking at any of them. In 2006 I built an extension and they had to be well protected from dust and moved a few times. Ultimately my former 6x7 box room office has become their (and my own work’s) permanent home.
I hope to avoid posting images that Jim had not taken his self, however should I inadvertently infringe another photographers copyright, please inform me by email and I will resolve the issue immediately. There are copyright issues with some of the photographs that were sold to me. A Flickr member from Scotland drew my attention to some of his own work amongst the first uploads of Jim’s work. I had a quick look through some of the 30 boxes of prints and decided that for the time being the safest thing for me to do was withdraw the majority of the earlier uploaded scans and deal with the problem – which I did. whilst the vast majority of the prints are Jims, there is a problem defining copyright of some of them, this is something that the seller did not make clear at the time. I am reasonably confident that I have since been successful in identifying Jims own work. His early work consists of many thousands of lustre 6x4 prints which are difficult to scan well, later work is almost entirely 7x5 glossy, much easier to scan. Not all of the prints are pin sharp but I can generally print successfully to A4 from a scan.
You may notice photographs being duplicated in this Album, unfortunately there are multiple copies of many prints (for swapping) and as I have to have a system of archiving and backing up I can only guess - using memory - if I have scanned a print before. The bigger fleets have so many similar vehicles and registration numbers that it is impossible to get it right all of the time. It is easier to scan and process a print than check my files - on three different PC’s - for duplicates. There has not been, nor will there ever be, any intention to knowingly breach anyone else's copyright. I have presented the Jim Taylor collection as exactly that-The Jim Taylor Collection- his work not mine, my own work is quite obviously mine.
Unfortunately, many truck spotters have swapped and traded their work without copyright marking it as theirs. These people never anticipated the ease with which images would be shared online in the future. I would guess that having swapped and traded photos for many years that it is almost impossible to control their future use. Anyone wanting to control the future use of their work would have been well advised to copyright mark their work (as many did) and would be well advised not to post them on photo sharing sites without a watermark as the whole point of these sites is to share the image, it is very easy for those that wish, to lift any image, despite security settings, indeed, Flickr itself, warns you that this is the case. It was this abuse and theft of my material that led me to watermark all of my later uploads. I may yet withdraw non-watermarked photos, I haven’t decided yet. (I did in the end)
To anyone reading the above it will be quite obvious that I can’t provide information regarding specific photos or potential future uploads – I didn’t take them! There are many vehicles that were well known to me as Jim only lived down the road from me (although I didn’t know him), however scanning, titling, tagging and uploading is laborious and time consuming enough, I do however provide a fair amount of information with my own transport (and other) photos. I am aware that there are requests from other Flickr users that are unanswered, I stumble across them months or years after they were posted, this isn’t deliberate. Some weekends one or two “enthusiasts” can add many hundreds of photos as favourites, this pushes requests that are in the comments section ten or twenty pages out of sight and I miss them. I also have notifications switched off, I receive around 50 emails a day through work and I don’t want even more from Flickr. Other requests, like many other things, I just plain forget – no excuses! Uploads of Jim’s photos will be infrequent as it is a boring pastime and I would much rather work on my own output.

During the late 1920s, sexy and bubbly Alice White (1904-1983) was one of Hollywood's most popular stars who received more than 30,000 fan letters a month. She was Warner Bros' blonde answer to Clara Bow, and among her film hits were Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1928) and Show Girl (1928). Tabloid reports about a violent love triangle seriously damaged her reputation and her career. Although a series of divorces and further sex scandals followed, she continued working on stage and screen for the next two decades. In 1957 she fell off a ladder and landed on a pair of scissors. This freak accident left her blinded for several months and ended her career. However, Alice continued to answer the fan mail she received from around the world.

They are on sales at a tourist spot in Kuala Lumpur. I walked past the area. As a "trigger happy" photography enthusiast like me with a camera in hands, I just couldn't afford not to snap a shot or two.
This figure appears throughout Chinese culture. He is a representation of contentment and abundance, and is sometimes seen as a deity by religious Taoists and Buddhists. The image graces many temples, restaurants, amulets, and businesses and even a good friend of mine, Chai Kok Leong – he puts it on the dashboard of his car.
He is almost always shown smiling or laughing, hence his nickname, the Laughing Buddha
Am very much impressed that some of you managed to guessed who she is correctly!
:)
Few facts I learn on that evening.
She's from Osaka.
She debuted just a few days before Yaemi.
She's (16 < x < 19) years old this year.

Answers come in many forms. One, most recently, came to me when Andrew, our 14 year old, nearly died. It was a close call and long experience. It started the day before school began here. Rushing him into emergency, where they removed his appendix. Unfortunately, they were wrong. Andrew instantly got worse. They sent him home anyway. I watched and called the doctors. Andrew started slipping through my fingertips. Pain. Pain. Pain. Weak. Weak. Weak. Fever. Fever. Fever. Unable to keep anything down. Pain. My baby in such pain.
Finally, the doctor listened. Almost too late. Andrew had a very rare disorder, which ended up bursting inside of him - expelling stomach acid and over a pints worth of pus. Second surgery lasted three hours.
Nearly four weeks later. I stand here staring out the window, knowing all I need are my kids, husband and those who love us for us - truly - unconditionally. My little family is what I value. And if anyone can't see that, well, then....their loss.
I can't even begin to express the gratitude in this experience. Just when you think life can't get any harder you come seconds away from losing a child. So many people are not as lucky. I count my blessings.....1...2...3...4 + Me + those of you who honestly love us = LOVE.
