Even the Amsterdam pavement seems to allow people to escape from daily life...
Zelfs op de Amsterdamse trottoirs zijn er mensen die aan het dagelijks leven willen ontsnappen.

Introducing the Ebony SV45 Ti, a little present i picked up for myself after winning the best photographer in Shanghai award from That's Shanghai =)
...on the ground glass is the actual trophy.
Almost nobody walking up and down stairs at the mHealth Summit.
Go figure.
Add a monster motivator poster... could increase use by 50%+.
Kent Larson's crew at the MIT Media Lab did this years ago at a MBTA train station... worked wonders.
Note: the Move More sign, if its not horribly obvious, is pasted into this photo (aka it's not there in reality).

This is the image of a cranefly vibrating rapidly. It was impossible for me to see this cranefly while it was vibrating. It had its legs attached to grass blades, and with its rapidly moving wings it was able to fly back and forth in a very narrow range, and thus impossible to see. I shot several images hoping I could see it when the image was developed. In this image I can barely see it... I suspect that this is a defense mechanism to avoid predation. I have seen this vibratory behavior in many craneflies.

making bias tubes for straps because...I might as well right? I got the fabric, I got the thread, I got the time; and I don't got elastic, so.
A prostitute walked in front of my car while I was stopped, second in line, at a light, the other evening. I guess that's why they call them 'streetwalkers'. At first, I thought-- I shouldn't judge her like that. Maybe she was just a drunk jaywalking dancer who had just got off work. But she looked directly at me with a huge exaggerated smile, too much makeup, and those 'come hither', or 'just let me into your front seat' eyes. Plus, the top of her dress was unbuttoned and half falling off. She had just come out of a strip club on the other side of the street, so maybe that was her professional way of saying: "Hi. How are you? Do you have some money for me?" Maybe she was just an undertipped pole dancer. I returned her smile with a half-assed one of my own. Just a brief flexing of those smile muscles, returning quickly to a 'not interested' or 'I can't afford you', or 'I've already had gonorrhea four times. Thanks, anyway.' expression.
Finally, the light turned green.
The one on the stoplight, I mean.
Or maybe, I'm just a prude.

Ugarte had slowly, painfully started to gather himself and his bearings. Though the loss of blood, and the ringing in his ears seemed to distort, he knew from all the clamor there where more then just the three originals in the hotel now. As he rose to his knees he caught movement from the corner of his left eye, and what seemed to be a rather slow reaction to him was actually quick enough for him to raise his padded arm to deflect -most- of the tee off from Forge. The force still sent him sprawling backwards. He wasted no time and lunged for the door behind the reception deck, testing the handle first and if it was locked, would attempt to bull his way through.
Kiri Mayako takes her pistol out, and gestures with it, first at Calee, then at Swara and Guin. "You see them? That's Guin - she's from the church. And that's a neko punk with an attitude problem. Both of which are our business. Now be a good girl and hush." She looks at Forge. "He attack Guin?" she asks, pointing at Swara with her pistol.
Darkness Odigaunt jumps as soon as the man was off Guin, she checks her for wounds.
Forgetten Tomorrow watched at the neko bashed the door off its hinges-- he would pause only for a second to look down at Guin. He raised the gun and he would fire again-- the sound of the blast would once again fill the room and Forge stumbled back a few feet likely hitting into the nun behind him. "YOU COME INTO MY FUCKING HOTEL! YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH" he screamed out-- all he could hear was the ringing in his ears from the two blasts from the now empty rifle. Apparently he didn't hit Darkness but her decision to jump in as he was firing sent him spiraling over her landing hard against the stairs.
Emberen Twine gapes as she frantically assesses the situation...before ducking from the gunfire. She gapes and tries to get a handle on all the action without becoming a victim of it.
Calee Lykin just ignored the larger woman that was now behind her. She would deal with her later, people needed to realise who they were dealing with, with Calee. She glares at Kiri specifically, "Guns is bad!" she hisses at her. "The boss man has it under control, now ya lets him deals with it before ya gets other peoples hurted." She hadn't seen Swara attack Guin, and wasn't really sure what was going on, and figured that there was no way Kiri would have known either. She did know that more guns would mean more trouble, not less, and that her ears were ringing painfully from the shotgun blast. "Now ya should puts those 'way for ya hurts someone."
Iohannes Crispien sighs and mrrs, figuring he ought to draw at least one of his guns, his left, and smirks, covering Kiri, "Come on mister manager, leave the neko to us cats to punish. We'll make sure he gets what's coming to him." He snakes at Calee, "Nekos take care, and punish their own! If you're just gonna hop around, then I'll personally step in and pistolwhip the damn cat, it that's what he has coming."
Emberen Twine gasps unable to imagine what Swara has done for all the punishment.
Guinevere Fouroux gasps as the man's weight suddenly shifts, giving her room to draw air at last. Her breathing comes short and labored out of shock, and she blinks up at the hotel ceiling, barely noticing the swing of Forge's rifle. She nearly sobs in relief as the creature is knocked off of her, but she doesn't move, pain and disbelief washing through her. "What... " she tries to whisper. She remembers the gun is still clutched in her hand and she releases it as if burned. Forge's scream is almost welcome, something she can latch on to, and she tries to turn onto her side--the side that wasn't burning. "Forge?" she tries again. The lobby is full of people, and she spots the hem of familiar black. "Sister Lis?" She doesn't wonder at the illogic of her being here. "Wha--what happened?"
Kiri Mayako looks at Calee. "Girl - *hush*. Nobody cares about you at the moment: Let the grownups work." She looks back to Forge, then the door Swara vanished through. "May we? We'd like to... have a word with him. His conduct is rather appalling, and reflects poorly on all hybrids."
The hit American boy band Mindless Behavior finished off their first tour of this country with their final concert before returning to America at Enfield Grammar School, as a guest of the Student Council. The band, a massive success in America, with over a million followers on twitter and a huge fan base on You Tube, were in England on a promotional tour.
As part of our links with the local community we invited both students from St Anne’s and Enfield County to attend. The band performed four hits off their debut album that is presently at number seven in the American Album chart, followed by a question and answer session and autograph signing. Over 400 boys and girls from the schools were chosen by their Heads of Year to see the band as a reward to recognise their excellent efforts and behaviour in the last few months.
Well done to everyone who helped organise this event particularly all Grammar Sixth Form prefects who gave up their time to help stage the event.

Three male American Wigeons are calling while in pursuit of a female who leads the way. She's the second one in from the left.
It seems they do this almost as a pass time after feeding and otherwise resting on water. The female suddenly takes off from the water and many males follow. They loop and swirl for less than a minute and then land to just rest once again. Frequently the behavior occurs again in another 5-10 minutes until they finally return to floating and casual feeding.
Wigeons pair bond seasonally generally in January and February. It could be that these flights are a part of female mate selection or that one of the males is already her mate and the others are challenging the bond.
I've also seen this kind of behavior in Common Goldeneyes.

CA SEA OTTERS: Santa Cruz
Animal Classification
Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris)
Description
Sea otters are members of the weasel or mustelid family. Like other members of this family, they have very thick fur. In fact, at 850,000 to one million hairs per square inch, they have the thickest fur of any mammal. Their fur actually consists of two layers, an undercoat and longer guard hairs. This system traps a layer of air next to their skin so their skin does not get wet. Sea otters are usually dark brown, often with lighter guard hairs. Alaskan sea otters tend to have lighter fur on their heads. Sea otters are the smallest marine mammals. In California adult females weigh 35-60 pounds (16-27 kg); males reach up to 90 pounds (40 kg). Alaskan sea otters are bigger with males weighing up to 100 pounds (45 kg).
Range/Habitat
Sea otters once ranged from Mexico to Alaska and even to Japan. Currently, the California population numbers around 2,800 and is found from Half Moon Bay to Morro Bay. There is a much larger population in Alaska, and sea otters are still found in Russia. Sea otters inhabit shallow coastal areas and prefer places with kelp. The kelp acts as an anchor that the sea otters use to wrap themselves in when they are resting.
Mating/Breeding
Females give birth to one pup and usually have their first pup at the age of four or five. Their pregnancies last four to five months. Pups can be born any time of year, but in California most are born between January and March, and in Alaska most are born in the summer. When born, the pups weigh from three to five pounds.
Behavior
Sea otters are social animals, with females and pups spending time together in one group and males in another. Pups stay with their mothers for the first eight months of their life. The pups' fur traps so much air that they actually cannot dive under water. When mothers leave the pups wrapped in kelp to hunt, pups bob on the surface of the ocean like a cork. Mothers spend much time grooming pups and often carry them on their chests. Pups begin to learn to swim at around four weeks of age. Sea otters are one of the few animals to use tools. They eat animals with shells, like clams and abalone, and use a stone to break open the shells. When sea otters are under water searching for food, they store what they have found in the loose skin folds at their armpits. Adult sea otters can eat 25%-30% of their body weight in one day!
Status
Sea otters in California are a threatened species due to past over hunting for their beautiful fur. Although sea otters are protected now, they remain vulnerable, especially to oil spills. Unlike other marine mammals, sea otters do not have a blubber layer. Therefore, they rely on their fur to keep warm. If their fur is oiled, it loses its insulating qualities and the sea otters soon chill. Otters are also affected by the oil fumes or poisoned by eating food exposed to oil. Most sea otters quickly die in an oil spill. Several thousand sea otters died in the 1989 Exxon oil spill in Valdez, Alaska. Other threats to sea otters include infectious diseases, parasites, boat strikes, entanglements, and toxins.
At The Marine Mammal Center
The Marine Mammal Center began rehabilitating sea otters in 1995. Since that time, we have rescued up to 207 sea otters.
