Because sometimes you just have give in to temptation. Ooo, sencha vanilla.
Thinking of... now knowing how my mom felt whenever she asked me how school was and I just replied, "It was okay."; my next treat from the kitchen, coconut ice; the free digital converter box we're going to get just in time for LOST.
There's a shop in Coombs, Vancouver Island, that's a tourist attraction because they actually have goats living on the roof of the shop!
Because it's close to Halloween and because taking the ordinary and making it dark definitely makes things crazy / scary to me!
Because I only had one full day in New York I took back to back Hop On Hop Off Buses. Some of the images are not very good as the bus would go over bumps etc,.I have kept them in as memorises of the day. I only got off the bus once so most of the photos were taken as we were travelling along. Sadly I just didn't have time to have a good walk around.
I woke to a lovely sunny day and not too cold with around 16c. As the day went on it clouded over a bit and cooled down. November 7, 2018 USA.
Because we are in a semi-arid region, the pond serves to draw in many mountain animals including larger mammals. Many of the local squirrels (4 different species) stop in for drinks. At night, when it's quieter, the pool often gets visited by larger animals. This little guy is dropping down for a drink... they drink frequently on especially hot days.

Because a bank's exact need for liquidity is difficult to know in real time, depositors have incomplete information about its ability to survive a run. The incomplete information means that a bank is not automatically incentivized to hold enough liquid assets to survive runs. Regulations similar to those implemented recently can change the bank’s incentives so that runs are less likely.
At this Becker Brown Bag, Douglas Diamond of Chicago Booth discussed how these regulations can be improved.
Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) was a world famous Finnish composer. The Sibelius Monument was erected in 1967 and is by the Finnish sculptor Eila Hiltunen (1922-2003).
I don't want to be another mystery
I don't want to see who's looking at me
I wanna be the one to feel the sun
So if you want to see the world with me, let's go
You could pursue it, hell I could do it
I'll just be quiet when I get angry and hurt
I'm stopping traffic, cinemagraphic
With my long black coat hanging down in the dirt
And my hair clinging to my face in the rain
Like a goddess from the cult of beautiful pain
I don't want to be another mystery
I don't want to be another mystery
I could cut you off with a shoulder of stone
Smoke all night and leave the party alone
Screw myself with an inscrutable pout
But I just want you to come figure me out
I don't want to be another mystery

Cutting newborn nails, especially a newborn, may scare you, especially if this is your first experience.
However, you should keep cutting it out because even though the baby's nails look soft, the fingernails can still hurt him and others.
The baby has not been able to control his movements properly. Therefore, it is important to keep the nails short to avoid scratching and injuring oneself.
Especially when your child has started to interact with friends who his age. Newborn nails can injure his friend unintentionally.
Cut the baby's nails should be careful because if wrong or miss, which is even our baby's nails are injured. For that here are tips for cutting the baby's nails safely
The best time to cut your nails
Given the uncontrolled movement of the baby, it is advisable to cut his nails when he is fast asleep. Or it could be after bathing because in this condition the nails are softer.
If you decide to do so when you wake up, you can ask someone for help holding and keeping your baby so that you do not move much when you cut his nails.
Choose the right nail clippers
If your baby is a few weeks old, it is advisable to cut his nails using only nail carvers. At that age, the baby's nails are still very soft.
If you wear nail clippers, it is feared you can hurt his finger, especially for those of you who are not used to doing it. Wearing a nail cutter for baby is the safest method.
You can also tidy up using baby nail clippers. This type of scissors has a blunt, not as sharp tip as your usual nail clippers.
Determine the position
Make sure you get a comfortable position that can reach his hand.
Maybe you can put your little one in your lap.
Also, make sure the room stays bright, so you can see the boundary between the fingernails and the skin of his finger clearly.
Nail cutting technique baby
Fang the finger you want to cut out. Press the tip of the skin of your little finger to make it easier for you to cut his nails.
If you see there are still a few nails left but are afraid to cut them out, you can take advantage of the nail mind.
Tidy the fingernails of the child's hands follow the original grooves of his nails. As for the toenails, you can cut it straight.
If you do not intentionally injure the tip of his finger
If this happens, you do not need to panic or feel guilty. Immediately clean the wound with cold water, then dress with a tissue and apply some pressure to the wound. Usually, within minutes the bleeding will stop.
Avoid putting the plaster on the wound, because he still put his finger into the mouth, which then this can make your baby choking.
Given the rapid growth of baby's nails, you are advised to cut your nails at least once a week. For toenails, growth is slower. So you may be able to cut it out twice a month. more info @ www.babygifa.com
Because it was a very rainy day in Piscataway, neither of the team's quarterbacks did too much passing.
Here is Stave making a run against the Rutgers defense.
Decided to go out Saturday because the weather was supposed to be cooler, and cloudy. Well it was cooler 85f. But zero clouds. I swear I'm going to move to a state that has clouds.
Got to my first spot, and found out they have now fenced the entrance path to the spot. A GIANT field with a path leading to my spot is not completely fenced. forcing me to walk about an mile out of my way to get to the spot. Yeah, I could have easily jumped the fence, walked through and jumped the next fence. There was so much traffic in the area I could just walk around. I need the exercise anyway.
The long walk to my spot took me pretty close to one of my favorite bridge spots, so I decided to hike up a bit and see what was new. A few new pieces and a few old favorites that were still there, un-touched. Those are in today's upload as well.
Got to my spot finally. This spot has a homeless "issue" but I've had nothing but pleasant interactions with anyone who's approached me. Mostly I think they are just curious what I'm doing out there for 5-6 hours standing around in one spot. As soon as I say "the trains.." they always go "oh, cool." So every time I go there I always take inventory of all of the people who are out there so I know where to keep an eye out. Got there at like 10:15AM and I see a guy coming out from under a tree about 200' away. Moving slow, and carrying a box. Moving the box from one place to another, then another box, etc. I'm not worried about this person.
About an hour into my session, I see a guy walking along in the wash below.. Looks about 60-65, with no shirt, and is about as tan as you can get. This guy has obviously been in the desert sun for a while. After a couple of minutes he gets to me, throws out his hand and introduces himself as "Jeff". Asks how I'm doing and what I'm doing out there. I said "the trains" and he nods. Says he's headed up to the gas station down the tracks and up the road, and asks if I want him to bring me something to drink. "nah, I'm good", "OK, see ya'" Oh, forgot to mention, Jeff had a fixed blade knife about 12" long strapped to the front of his belt. I also carry a knife when I go out, just in-case so I understood his carrying of a knife and seeing it didn't faze me.
Spent about 4 hours at that spot, and hit up another spot on the way home and flicked some other amazing pieces.
Was a great day out, and I had fun. Isn't that what it's all about!!? I even managed to flick some pieces from some of my favorite writes I haven't seen before!
Also witnessed a procession of like 100 Honda Groms and other motorcycles rolling by: youtu.be/H4uLI_EupHU
Thanks to all of the writers and fellow benchers. Stay safe out there. Look both ways before crossing!!

As usual, I'll be by in a few days to start #tagging pieces that that I recognise or can figure out. If you spot any errors, just let me know.
He'll always have your back ...
And I've been loved and I've been used
Cut wide open, scarred and bruised
I'm unbreakable ...
Flesh, it heals I know
Hearts, they never mend
Lovers come and go
Right now I need a friend ...

Not a technically great photo but I needed to feel lifted and puppies do that for me :3 My stuff is here on my FB page.
Post Mill
Built in 1789, dismanted in 1965 and now being restored.
The body was removed from the post so that the post structure could be restored and here it is reinstated as it was meant to be.
Post mills are so named because of the large upright post on which the mill's main structure (the "body" or "buck") is balanced. By mounting the body this way, the mill is able to rotate to face the (variable) wind direction.
To maintain the upright post, a structure consisting of horizontal crosstrees, and angled quarterbars is used. By far the most common arrangement was 2 cross bars at right angles to each other under the base of the post, together with 4 quarterbars. Occasionally however other arrangements did occur, such as 3 crosstrees, and consequently 6 quarterbars. The mill in this photograph is famous for having 3 crosstrees, and 6 quarterbars.
Initially the crosstrees would have rested directly on the ground, (or indeed were buried in the ground for extra stability) but since this makes them very succeptible to rotting, the crosstrees were soon being placed on brick piers to raise them off the ground (as can be clearly seen in this photograph).
The body of the mill housed all the milling machinery - a large brake wheel on the same shaft as the sails (the "windshaft") transferred power to a smaller gear at right angles to it, called the wallower. The wallower shared a vertical shaft with the great spur wheel, and from this smaller wheel a "stone nut" was used to drive the millstone. As larger mill bodies were constructed, additional pairs of stones could be driven, by taking further power taps, each using an extra "stone nut" off the great spur wheel. In order to apply some level of control to the mill, the brake wheel could be slowed using a large wooden friction brake around its outer edge.
As already mentioned, the whole body rotated on the central post, in order to face the wind. To allow this to happen, a tailpole or tiller beam extended from the rear of the body. By pushing on this beam (or by using some form of winch or animal power) the miller rotated his mill. The tailpole also provides a useful attachment point for a ladder to provide access to the mill.
An obvious improvement on the early post mill, is to build a roundhouse up around the crosstrees and quarterbar structure. This makes this structure a lot more protected from the weather, and provides additional storage space.

This was something that caught my eye quickly. Not because it's colorful and curvy, but because it's 95% "standard" prims! I think the only sculpty is the hat of the saxophone player. The Saxophone player, the band, the singers in the background and the dancers on the foreground are all made with (intensely torsated) standard prims!
Anybody who can do that, deserves to be patted on the back if you ask me!

Because every spaceship needs a soundtrack...listen to it here: since78.briangossett.com I used the font Quicksand as a base to create my own version for the main title type.
here they are while they still have a bit of color. before they're too brown and crunchy to make cool pictures and the snow covers them.
Because my family had two pet goats, I know exactly what that mother goat is doing.

Gomersal/Neu Mecklenburg.
This small German settled area was originally named Neuw Mecklenburg because most settlers came from that city in Germany. During World War One the name was changed by act of parliament to Gomersal, a Yorkshire village. Neu Mecklenburg had two Lutheran congregations: one called the Good Shepherd who built a Lutheran church in 1864 on the Tanunda Road and the other congregation called Schoenborn built a church and school earlier in 1856 in Schmaal Road. Some of the early families at Schoenborn came from Huffnungsthal near Lyndoch after it was flooded in 1853. The church school room was thatched until 1896 and all farmers had to provide 40 bundles of hay each year for the re-thatching. In 1917 the school was closed as a Lutheran School and became a state school which operated until 1951. The church building closed in 1927 when a new Schoenborn church was built on the main Tanunda Road. That church still operates each Sunday. The old school building is now a private residence but the interesting cemetery has public access. The earliest burials with headstones are dated 1858(W. C. Hentschke,) and 1860 and 1862. The nearby Good Shepherd Lutheran cemetery opened in 1864 on Tanunda Road.
“Because I was born in the southwest and live there I love it with a passion. The state has a harsh temperament as though it were alive. It is rough, colorless and silent and yet you feel a gentleness. See beauty and color in a storm, the skies roar. The cactus of the desert in its prickly silence bursts forth for a moment of exquisite beauty. ” – DeGrazia
Barry Yourgrau spoke at our conference so I bought his book because it was a theme memoir and he is a writer by profession. And it is indeed a well crafted memoir setting a premise that then allows him to reflect back on the past and childhood traumas with his father that might have led to his curious attachment to stuff.
He does due diligence to the history of hoarding and I credit him for pointing out that the famous Collyers brothers who died trapped in their apartment were driven by media attention to defend themselves from a deteriorating neighborhood rather than by pathology alone.
It was also entertaining for me as an organizer to read about his encounters with the world of professional organizers. One man called him an "Atleasta" as in "at least I'm not as bad as this fellow". He also does due diligence with the history of hoarding research and their findings which mainly fall to the authors of Stuff.
But most amusing is his journey as an author to encourage himself by making his clean-up a project worthy of a book, particularly his characterizations of his girlfriend and her mother "helping" him and his documentation of his own progress. Thus the project does deepen his relationships and the tension of their concern keeps up the suspense.
Told with humor and a tender vulnerability. As a speaker he did not bring forth the humor, but was quite serious.
