This ‘Keyaki’ tree was planted in a small park when that aria was developed and, sad to say, last year it was sawed down probably because it had grown too large...

Racer Biography: 9 Kiba – “The Desert Fox”
The last born in the litter, 9’s parents basically ran out of names.
9 grew up in the sector town of Sandspur Slide located on the arid planet Helvetius where she marveled at the yearly endurance race across the Iron Desert. Determined to throw down in the LSB Racing League, she persisted against prejudice and the fact that being the runt of the litter was not going to hold her back. After saving up enough credits through her long hours at an iron extractor repair yard, 9 was finally able to purchase her Ubiquidyne Industries Type R-7704 mk. 5 “Iridium Thistle”. Although able to buy any number of newer and more powerful speeder bikes, she opted for the older, heavier model favoring the more reliable Desoto capacitors in a doubled pair configuration. She was even able to pay for the undercoating protection with change to spare.
Her initiation into the Fomalhaut Circuit was less than stellar, placing 84th in a field of 96 bikers. Undaunted however, she continued to battle forth throughout the quadrant slowly improving albeit to unnoticeable results. Her best finish in her rookie year being at her home circuit season finale where she placed 34th in the field of 263.
She followed her introductory year with a season off at her own request. In that time, she spent many hours, days, and weeks in the Iron Desert with her thoughts, a full set of wrenches, and her Iridium Thistle. This proved fatal the following year when the new season began.
For her opponents, that is.
After placing 4th in the season opener, she proceeded to make a name for herself by making a mark in every race of the grueling Fomalhaut Circuit. Her first victory came on the desert moon of Trepan where she bested second place by over thirty minutes. Wins and top tens came throughout the season where her fortitude put her in contention for the championship with none other than Ted “The Butcher (Paper)” Andes. In the finale on Helvetius, in front of her hometown and family, 9 Kiba took home the win and the series trophy by soundly defeating second place by a record setting time and an interval of fourteen minutes, thirty-eight seconds, and four hundred and ninety-two micros.
In that endurance race, her clever adaptation and reconfiguration of her Iridium Thistle’s mag-lifts to the magnetic fields created by the iron outcroppings had her bounding across the dangerous wastelands ahead of her well-financed and supremely equipped competitors. Eyewitnesses described her focus and agility like the nimble creature from which she was affectionately nicknamed: The Desert Fox.
And she can’t wait for the next season!

When it comes to images of the homeless I'm as uncomfortable as anyone and I definitely don't want to come across as self righteous - God knows I'm in no position to preach. But for me, at a time when we make our resolutions about how we intend to live our lives this year, I felt this made a good thought starter.
Sorry if it's a buzz-kill after all the fireworks and champagne.
Books still line the shelves of an abandoned public library. Detroit Metro.
In a city that is so down on it's luck...with an education system so broken...there is absolutely no excuse for scenes like this. Literally thousands of books, some of them brand new (as of 2003) - left on the shelf to rot.
In a way, this is the auto-biography of Detroit.
*Another in the Detroit Series.
This origami book features a portrait on the front cover, so I called it Biography. The structure of the book is basically the same as in my Long Story Short model (flic.kr/p/2jqBAe5) but with a tessellation added on the cover. I had the idea of making books with a tessellation on the cover shortly after designing the original, but it took me a few years until I was satisfied with the result. As you can see, in this version, the back and pages are completely smooth and there are no unnecessary creases going through them. The technique I used here is quite versatile and can be adapted to many different patterns.

Cybernetic suit that grants enhanced strength and protection.
A compact chemical storage unit. This back mounted device serves to circulate life sustaining chemicals throughout Toxin's armored suit.
Toxic Blaster - An offensive weapon that is attached to Doctor Toxin's chemical storage unit. The blaster fires streams of highly corrosive acid as well as atomizing a toxin into the form of a gas that can be fired at enemies to induce crippling fear and hallucinations.
A genius level intellect.
Background/Origin Story:
The tragic villain Doctor Toxin is a victim of his own success. Once a talented chemist, Dr. Perry Oddick found himself losing his sanity due to over exposure to his vaporous experiments. He soon adopted the persona Dr. Toxin and decided to fund his mad science with crime.
Doctor Toxin uses a toxic blaster which can fire a corrosive acid or spray a mind altering fear vapor. He regularly clashes with the Crimson Cloak, and has been connected with the explosive chemical that destroyed the New Brickton Penitentiary.
Consequently, these same chemicals have proven to have a mutating affect on some of the citizens who came into contact with the substance. New heroes, like The Indestructible Man and Seraphim have arisen in the wake of the destruction of the prison and the Battle for New Brickton.
Name: Robotic Fire
Secret Identity: Bob Roberts, Robotic Engineer works with advanced technology at Watt Industries
Age: 30 years old
Skills/Powers:
* Wears an invincible suit of mechanized armor which gives him increased strength
* He is able to shoot fire from his robotic hands
* Wears a jetpack that gives him the ability to fly
Background/Origin Story:
Bob Roberts first became obsessed with robots at age eight when he saw that robots had the ability to help other people. Bob pursued his interest in robotics when he enrolled in college and through hard work he earned his degree in robotic engineering.
After graduation, Bob moved to the city of New Brickton where he became employed by Watt Industries as a robotic engineer. Growing up, Bob was inspired by a hero named Fire Man, a superhero who was tragically lost in a toxic fire accident. Armed with technical knowledge and the ability to build robotic armor, Bob hoped to continue the legacy of his childhood hero.
Soon after crafting a suit of indestructible armor, Bob took on the identity of Robotic Fire. It wasn’t long before Robotic Fire had to test his new suit of armor against an unlikely foe, the former Fire Man. It seems that the toxic fire accident had not claimed the life of Fire Man, but had instead twisted him into a treacherous villain now named Doctor Inferno who wanted to destroy the city and Robotic Fire.
Robotic Fire now fights against Doctor Inferno in hopes of stopping his crazy schemes.
*** At Robbie's request, I watched him this weekend while his mom worked so we could tell the origin story of Robotic Fire. I helped him write the origin story in places and obviously did a bulk of the photography, but he's the one making up the story ideas for this character.
After a certain number of years, Our faces become our biographies.

Name: Trickshot
Secret Identity: Trixie Dare
Age: 18

* Peak Physical Conditioning
Weapons:
* Dual pistols
* Anything can be a weapon in Trickshot’s hands.
Background/Origin Story: Trixie “Trickshot” Dare grew up alone on the rough side of town. Her parents were shot down in a robbery gone wrong, and Trixie was left to fend for herself. Throughout her youth, she got into her fair share of trouble running with a gang known as the “Wreckers” who soon adopted her as part of their family. The “Wreckers” specialized in vandalizing and petty theft. These crimes would often get Trixie noticed by the New Brickton police, and she eventually built up an lengthy record of offenses. Trixie discovered her innate ability to “always hit her target” while evading the police, and she soon used it to her benefit to remain one step ahead of the law.
When she reached adolescence, Trixie began following the career of the Crimson Cloak with great interest. Initially, she hoped to become his sidekick, but after dozens of refusals from the grim hero. She instead decided to go out on her own and become a lone vigilante.
Due to the nature of her parent’s death, Trixie was instilled with a strong sense of justice. Though her moral compass may seem a little skewed at times. Trixie also refrains from killing, instead she opts to use her pistols as tools to bring criminals to justice as opposed to committing the same acts of violence that left her orphaned.

Dickson House is of course the house of the first British political agent in Kuwait, built in 1870. Colonel Dickson was the British Political Agent to Kuwait from 1929-1936, who then worked for the Kuwait Oil Company after he retired from the British government. Col. Dickson passed away in 1959 but his wife, Dame Violet, also known as Umm Saud أم سعود, remained in Kuwait in their family home on the Gulf Road until she passed away in 1991 at the age of 92. Most people in Kuwait still remember Umm Saud, as she was a fixture in Kuwait up until the invasion.
رغم هجوم الحاضر والتطور على بساطة الماضي
الا انه رونق الماضي وسحره يعصف بنا ولا نستغني عن ملامحه
فقد نشتاق بين الحين والاخر لترك نعيم الحاضر من اجل الاستمتاع ببساطة الماضي
اتمنى ان تستمتعوا بهذه اللحظات ببيت دكسون التراثي فقد اخذت رحله صغيره
استمتع فيها بروح الماضي والتقت كميه بسيطه من الصور سوف اعرضها بين الفنيه والاخرى
