I didn't visit Macy's, but at Sak's Fifth Avenue I did have a laugh. One of my fellow photographers was certainly intent on capturing the, uh, provocative window displays!

Cover art is "Seizure" by graffiti artist Jose Wesley B. Alves (Lelin) was inspired by "Faces in Circles" by Volker Rodermund (Schachter SC. Visions: artists living with epilepsy. San Diego, CA: Academic Press; 2003). Grafitti was drawn on-site at The Neuroscience-Art exhibit: "Brainfitti: Pictures of the Brain using Graffiti and Conventional Visual Arts Tools" during the celebration of Brain Awareness Week, held in March 2011 at the Ribeirao Preto School of Medicine, University of Sa Paulo and organized by Norberto Garcia-Cairasco.
I usually have a hard time taking pictures of woodpeckers at their suet feeders because they always hide on the far side. Today, though, the cold, snow, and sleet made the eating more important to them than what I was doing. Also, I moved the feeder from one side of the porch to the other (smile). Thus, I was able to photograph this woodpecker eating in the snow. Windsor Park where this shot was taken is a section of Charlotte, N.C. (See map at right.)
I hope you're enjoying bird-watching and taking pictures of birds today. Thank you for taking the time to look at and possibly comment on one or two of my photographs.

What might pass for a colorful quilt square actually will help guide efforts to treat radioactive waste stored in tanks at the Hanford Site in southeastern Washington state. This model was created by researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and it represents magnetite, a substrate waste material. Magnetite, as the name suggests, is magnetic, and the pink and lighter green features represent the electron spin on the material’s uppermost iron atoms. Substitution of some of these iron atoms with nickel, zinc or cobalt could be beneficial for waste processing. It might make it possible to incorporate larger amounts of highly radioactive waste—particularly technetium—into glass formulations for vitrification at the Hanford Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant. The research is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of River Protection.
Primary research team members: Vanda Glezakou and Mal-Soon Lee of PNNL’s Physical and Computational Sciences Directorate, and Wooyong Um of PNNL’s Energy and Environment Directorate.
The model was visually enhanced by Cortland Johnson of PNNL’s Communications and Information Technology Directorate.

Late one day, Behavior designer Nick Keppol crafter this masterwork on a whiteboard, where it has remained intact for almost two months now.
Many Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) graduates showed their creativity through their unique mortarboards and attire. But for some graduates, this was also a way to tell the stories of their journeys and where they are headed as they “Depart to Serve.”
As students marched into Bowman Gray Stadium during the Commencement Ceremony on Friday, May 19, they shared their messages of gratitude, accomplishment and encouragement.
Dealva Glaspie, a biotechnology graduate, had a decorated mortarboard with the message, “I turned my can’ts into cans, and my dreams into plans.” Glaspie is the first in her family to earn a college degree. “I finally made it. I turned my dreams into plans,” Glaspie said.
Sherabiah Olglesby, a behavioral sciences and social work graduate, wore a stole with the imprint “black grads matter,” to show her pride as a graduate of a historically Black college and university (HBCU).
“A lot of my friends went to predominately white institutions and believe that their degrees are better, but that’s not true,” Olglesby said. “A lot of graduate schools want students from WSSU because they know that we have been properly prepared and are ready for the work force, and I think that is great.”
Olglesby plans to attend graduate school in the fall.
Taylor Gaulden, an interdisciplinary studies graduate, had a picture of her recently deceased grandmother on her mortarboard. “I promised my granny that I was going to do it, and I did.,” Gaulden said.
James Bullock, a sports management graduate and former member of the Rams football team, was at the front of the processional with a large crown atop graduation cap. About 25 family members from Cleveland were there to cheer him on.
Berenice Rodriguez, a nursing graduate whose parents migrated from Mexico, displayed the message, “Lo Hicimos. Gracias mami y papi,” which means “We did it. Thank you, mom and dad.” Rodriguez is the first in her family to graduate from college. “I did what I’m doing for them.”
Class of 2017
WSSU recognized more than 1,200 graduates during the ceremony.
The ceremony honored WSSU students who earned their degrees in summer and fall 2016 and spring 2017. Many outstanding students were among the class of 2017. More than 1,100 undergraduates and 129 graduates received degrees.
Graduates included:
Sisters Eomba F. and Edith Pungu, immigrants from the Congo who are earning their master’s in nursing degree to become family nurse practitioners. The sisters will cross the stage together for the second time as WSSU graduates.
Nursing Bridge to Ph.D. Scholars Nicole Calhoun, Morine Cebert and LaKita M.J. Knight, who will earn their master’s degree and continue their education this fall as doctorate in nursing students at Duke University.
Taylor Evans, a third-generation educator who has several job offers in special education.
Victoria Segwick, a chemistry major who will attend the Medical Sciences Ph.D. Program at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Anthony Wells, a marketing major who plans to join AllianceBerstein as a private wealth consultant in New York City. While at WSSU, he studied abroad in Brazil and the Dominican Republic and studied at the Harvard University Business School.
Also at the ceremony:
Dr. Donna Gwyn Wiggins, associate professor of music, was awarded the 2017 Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Dr. Brenda Allen, provost and vice chancellor of academic affairs, received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters for her contributions during her eight-year tenure at WSSU. Allen was recently selected as the president of Lincoln University in Pennsylvania.
A bold past. A brilliant future.

Appearance and Size
Long-tailed tits are remarkably small birds, measuring about 14 cm from head to tail, with a wingspan ranging between 16 and 19 cm and weighing roughly 7–10 g. Their plumage is quite distinctive: they often display a pale, sometimes pinkish, head and chest complemented by darker wings and backs. However, the star of the show is their impressively long tail—which often extends several inches beyond their compact body—giving them a unique and endearing silhouette.
Behavior and Social Life
These little birds are known for their highly sociable and acrobatic behavior. Long-tailed tits are rarely seen in isolation; they often form small, excitable flocks (sometimes including around 20 individuals) that flit energetically through woodlands, hedgerows, parks, and even urban gardens. Their playful, bouncing flight patterns and habit of huddling together at night to stay warm add to their unmistakable charm.
Diet and Foraging
Long-tailed tits primarily feed on insects and other invertebrates. They especially favor caterpillars as well as the eggs of moths and butterflies—a diet that supports their high metabolic rate. When insect prey is scarce, such as during winter months, they will supplement their diet with seeds and may visit bird feeders.
Breeding and Nesting
One of the most fascinating aspects of long-tailed tit life is their nest-building prowess. They construct large, often spherical nests using a mixture of moss, lichen, feathers, and spider silk. This structure, resembling a cozy sleeping bag, features a small opening at the top for entry and exit. The breeding season typically starts in early spring, with females laying a clutch of about six to eight eggs. These eggs are incubated for around three weeks before hatching, with the chicks fledging approximately two weeks later.
Lifespan and Reproductive Strategy
Despite their appealing nature and strong social bonds, long-tailed tits have relatively short lifespans—typically only one to three years. This fleeting lifespan means that each bird may only get one or two opportunities to breed, so they tend to produce larger clutches to help ensure the survival of the species amid high predation risks.
Distribution and Habitat
Widely distributed across Europe and parts of Asia—including Japan, northern Mongolia, and southern Russia—long-tailed tits are versatile in their habitat use. In the United Kingdom, they can be commonly found in a range of environments: from woodlands and farmland to parks and urban gardens, wherever sufficient tree cover or scrub is available for feeding and nesting.

While on a hike the other day, I heard an unmistakable ruckus ahead. It was a group of acorn woodpeckers. These charismatic birds are funny both in appearance and behavior. They will form tribes which defend territory and cache sometimes thousands of acorns, each contained within it's own tiny, perfectly-shaped hole of a dead tree. These food stores often sate them through lean times, such as winter. This particular family was in trouble, as a squirrel had discovered their larders. Every time the squirrel would attempt to pluck an acorn from it's hole, he / she would get dive-bombed by alternating woodpeckers defending their food. The squirrel would sprint for an acorn and rush for cover (the crook of two tree limbs), attempting to evade the relentless birds. This went on for over 10 minutes before the squirrel, content and no doubt eager for stress reduction moved along and the woodpeckers inspected their losses. Madera Canyon, AZ.

I cannot say enough how lucky I am to have two incredibly patient and outgoing bengal cats. These two played ALL day with a VERY exuberant 4 yr old boy, and never batted an eye once to his rough antics and crazy play. They have never been around kids like that and they did SOOOO good. They played chase with him, were hit with wand toys (4 yr old boys have trouble learning you wiggle the wand on the floor, not in the cats face). Mia and Bayou never ran away, they actually enjoyed every minute of it!! (Dexter is more skittish and with his arthritis, I just kept him in a bedroom). I thought Mia would be a bit spooked by having 22 people in the house, but again, did not phase her ONE bit.
Bayou passed out at bedtime, but Mia was more like an overstimulated toddler...she was attacking feet, meowing, getting into trouble and just wouldn't go to bed. But she has been passed out all day today, so I think she finally hit her wall :)

高達一直是男孩子心目中的英雄典範﹝ego﹞，具備雄性力量的表徵。並列在一起的則是半裸性感的美少女人形，乘載著男性尋求的慰藉、性慾望、戀母情結，以及其他對異性的一切幻想。兩者均是動漫畫及玩具中最受歡迎的角色，滿載玩樂文化符號。被放在一起，本來就只有那回子事。可是，我卻要他們一起祈禱、看書、打坐！算是很有「深度」的行為，那是他們沒有可能做出的動作。當初不想表達什麼，只想製造模稜兩可的氣氛，有人說很詭異。現在回想，這算是我把「玩」和「道」、「慾望」和「神聖」、「膚淺」和「深度」搞的第一次混種。
They are capsule toy figures of the famous characters from Japanese anime and manga: Gundam and almost nuke girl. Gundam is always the superego of hero deeply in hearts of Asian boys. It is the symbol of male power. When "he" is put beside the nude girl figures, who are the ends of men''s sexual desire and Oedipus Complex, it just provokes any sex fantasy. However, I just let them do such things they never will do in this work - preying, reading, and meditation - behaviors with "depth". I was not going to express or tell anything. I just wanted to create an atmosphere of confusion or contradiction. Somebody said it was strange and unusual. This could have been the first time I mix "play" and "tao", "desire" and "divine", "superficial" and "depth".
