Gedurende de Eerste Wereldoorlog nam het binnenlandse toerisme in het neutrale Nederland toe. Een uitstap over de de grens was immers niet praktisch mogelijk. Om de binnenlandse toeristen van dienst te zijn, werden er meer wegwijzers geplaatst. Door de oorlogsomstandigheden was ijzer schaars en duur. Daarom werd er een eenvoudige betonnen wegwijzer in de vorm van een paddenstoel ontwikkeld. De paddenstoel paste met de aan natuur ontleende vorm goed in het landschap. In de zomer van 1919 werden de eerste proefmodellen geplaatst. De paddenstoelen waren ontworpen door architect ir. J.H.W. Leliman. Hij is onder andere bekend van het Noord-Hollands Koffiehuis, recht tegenover Amsterdam C.S.
Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd een nieuw model geïntroduceerd. Model “Boost”, genoemd naar A. G. M. Boost.
Hij was voor de oorlog kapitein bij de Genie en had meerdere kazernes ontworpen. De oorspronkelijke versie van de Boost-paddenstoel was voorzien van de letters ANWB in ieder van de vier vlakken van het dakje.
Uiteindelijk bleken de vertikale vlakken van de Boost-paddenstoelen minder prettig leesbaar en werd er teruggegrepen naar een aangepaste versie van het oorspronkelijke ontwerp van Leliman met schuine vlakken.
De afgebeelde Boost-paddenstoel staat nabij Wapserveen in de provincie Drenthe aan de T-splitsing van het Midden-Oosteinde met de Wapserouwerweg.

Usually, I use the "boost" feature in Picasa sparingly. But when I saw what this looked like boosted way up, I really liked it. This is a restaurant in San Jose, CA.
Finally finished this last night. No idea why it took so long. Could have been the sick husband and baby, I suppose. Nope, it was probably just me. :)
10 in. by 8 in. (A standard size... a miracle! Woohoo!)
I have more shots with boats, but I think I now have enough of those for now. So this will be the end of the coverage of the Brandaris Race 2012. I finish with this 'ortonized' classic. Happy sailing.
I was absolutely amazed at the radiance of the color red in this shot. With the exception of an Unsharp Mask and contrast boost, this photo is untouched.

Since it has gotten colder outside, I don't get out and ride the Boosted Board as much. Turns out the cold weather and wind affects the already limited range of these boards...disappointing because I can no longer make my short commute to work on a full battery. It was just over 50 degrees today and I had plenty of time to waste so I decided to take it for a spin. Not a bad ride, I just want the winter to fly b so I can get back out and shred the DC streets on the regular again.

Long story short, I basically wanted to build something around the steering and piston pieces from old Technic sets. I've also implemented a pull-back motor, because why not?

Guy Bawkes is an unassuming Orpington chicken, looking to avenge the mistreatment of his people with a hardsuit of his own designs. UVC ray-extraction cells located around the outer shell charge up the cannon. Other arm has dual grips for superior dexterity. Canopy is equipped with thermal and night-vision filters. No flight capabilities (a concept out of reach for chickens, it seems), but thrusters located near the heels allow the suit to "sprint."

Sure, jammers get the glory and are in most of the photos, but they earn it. Eve Ann Hellical of the Rose City Rollers' Axles of Annihilation (Portland, OR) gets ejected to the outside of turn one by Vice'd from Coffee City (Seattle, WA). This was in bout three on the first day of the Cosmo Chaos tournament hosted by California Derby Galaxy as part of WFTDA's Back on Track series.

"...few weeks ago my girlfriend left me-after six years-without a real explanation...it was devastating...I didn´t sleep and eat the first two days...but after few days I got an energy boost and start to change my life...I stopped watching tv and playing playstation...I started meditating almost every day...I am so grateful for my family and friends to hold my back...the only thing I can`t still handle is when I see photos from the past...I was so sure about marrying this girl..."
