Not Even Been That Long In Service Heres VMSL2885 LJ24ZLY At Cricklewood Lane With A Broken Front LED Blind
[61/365] Expired.
The latest days I have been studying hard and I also had an important deadline due at midnight. Managed the deadline with a 10 minutes margin…
So with 10 minutes left of the day I had to refocus and take the daily shot.
In my business it’s common to have certificates to prof your knowledge and I have some under my belt. This is a certificate within Information Security which I’m proud of. But I have to say that I was proud of it. It has expired and I’m not allowed to say that I am certified anymore and I have to remove all things related to the certification. The funny thing about this is the fact that this frame and the certificate have been left hanging for a year on the wall at our office until recently, when it fell to the ground and broke. All security stuff will eventually self-destruct you know! ;)
Well I had the frame and the broken glass in a plastic bag and quickly laid them up on the living room floor. Put a flash in an umbrella and took 13 pictures before the time was up… Can't say that I'm proud of the result but it could be worse. I still haven't missed a day.
Some days are worse than others – but I don’t intend to expire.
Overview of Broken Hill.
Mining has occurred throughout the entire life of Broken Hill since its founding in 1883. Australia's largest mining concern BHP Billiton has it's origins here with the initials BHP standing for "Broken Hill Proprietary". The mining industry has declined in recent years however it still plays an important part in the story of the town with many tourist attractions associated with mining. The other main reason to visit Broken Hill is for the artists who have called the city home. There are many galleries around the city that are worth visiting.

A snail with a crushed shell. He was still alive when I took this picture.
This photo from my entry, Broken Snail, where you can see an animation of him still moving.
On the LeMond. Broken in Iron Springs, PA - thankfully, I wasn't hurt, and was able to hobble back to an aid station on the Civil War Century route.
Me molan bastante las cosas abandonadas en mitad de la ciudad. ¿De quién será esa casa? ¿Por qué no la venden? Está en plaza de los lobos.

Broken camera image.
The camera is strangely inconsistent.
Large view isn't really interesting, but recommended. : )

Broken Angel is the work-in-progress of artist and "self-taught" architect Arthur Wood. As I type this, its future is uncertain as the city is threatening with demolition. There's also talk of selling to a developer for condominiums.
I blogged about it here.
Islamic calligraphy
From the Wikipedia:
Islamic calligraphy, equally known as Arabic calligraphy, is the art of writing, and by extension, of bookmaking.[1] This art has most often employed the Arabic script, throughout many languages. Calligraphy is especially revered among Islamic arts since it was the primary means for the preservation of the Qur'an.
Throughout Islamic history, the work of calligraphers was collected and appreciated. Consideration of figurative art as idolatrous led to calligraphy and abstract figures becoming the main forms of artistic expression in Islamic cultures.[2]
Arabic, Persian and Ottoman Turkish calligraphy is associated with geometric Islamic art (the Arabesque) on the walls and ceilings of mosques as well as on the page. Contemporary artists in the Islamic world draw on the heritage of calligraphy to use calligraphic inscriptions or abstractions in their work.
Calligraphic scripts
The first Arabic script to gain popularity was the Kufic script, which was created in 537. Kufic is angular, made of square and short horizontal strokes, long verticals, and bold, compact circles. It was the main script used to copy the Qur'an for three centuries. Its static aspect made it suitable for monumental inscriptions, too. It developed many serifs (small decorations added to each character).
More often used for casual writing was the cursive Naskh script, with rounder letters and thin lines. As techniques for writing in this style were refined, it came to be preferred to Kufic for copying the Qur'an. Naskh is the first script taught to most children. Almost all printed material in Arabic is in Naskh so, to avoid confusion, children are taught to write in the same script. It is also clearer and easier to decipher.
In the 13th century, the Thuluth script took on the ornamental role formerly associated with the Kufic script. Thuluth means "one third"; the form of Thuluth is based on the principle that one third of each letter slides downward. Thus it has a strong cursive aspect and is usually written in ample curves.
After Persia was conquered by Arabs in the 7th century, it became common to write Persian in Arabic script. The Persians contributed the Ta'liq and Nasta'liq styles to Arabic calligraphy. Nasta'liq is extremely cursive, with exaggeratedly long horizontal strokes. One of its peculiarities is that vertical strokes lean to the right rather than (as more commonly) to the left, making Nasta'liq writing flow particularly well. The Persians also developed a style called shekasteh ('broken' in Persian). Shekasteh has seldom been used for scripting Arabic texts, though it is an Arabic calligraphy style.
The Diwani script is a cursive style of Arabic calligraphy developed during the reign of the early Ottoman Turks (16th and early 17th centuries). It was invented by Housam Roumi and reached its height of popularity under Süleyman I the Magnificent (1520–66). As decorative as it was communicative, Diwani was distinguished by the complexity of the line within the letter and the close juxtaposition of the letters within the word.
A variation of the Diwani, the Diwani Al Jali, is characterized by its abundance of diacritical and ornamental marks.
Finally, the most common script for everyday use is Ruq'ah (also known as Riq'a). Simple and easy to write, its movements are small, without much amplitude. It is the one most commonly seen. It is considered a step up from Naskh script, which children are taught first. In later grades they are introduced to Ruq'ah.

Abandon and broken, like so many of man's dreams, we walk a shattered landscape with pocket full of... bullshit.
I can't help it,
I love the broken ones,
The ones who,
Need the most patching up.
The ones who,...
Never been loved,
Never been loved enough.
Maybe I see a part of me in them.
The missing piece always trying to fit in.
The shattered heart,
Hungry for a home.
No you're not alone,

Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Non andartene docile in quella buona notte,
la vecchiaia dovrebbe ardere e infierire
quando cade il giorno;
infuria, infuria contro il morire della luce.
Benché i saggi infine conoscano che il buio
è giusto,
poiché dalle parole loro non diramò alcun
conforto,
non se ne vanno docili in quella buona notte.
I buoni, che in preda all'ultima onda
splendide proclamano le loro fioche imprese,
avrebbero potuto danzare in una verde baia,
e infuriano, infuriano contro il morire
della luce.
I selvaggi, che il sole a volo presero
e cantarono,
tardi apprendono come lo afflissero
nella sua via,
non se ne vanno docili in quella buona notte.
Gli austeri, vicini a morte, con cieca vista
scorgono
che i ciechi occhi quali meteore potrebbero brillare
ed esser gai
e infuriano, Infuriano contro il morire
della luce.
E tu, padre mio, là sulla triste altura,
condanna, feriscimi ora con le tue fiere
lacrime.
Io prego:
Non andartene docile in quella buona notte.
Infuria, infuria contro il morire
della luce.

Ciao Papà !
Ciao Alessandro!
An old, broken piece of playground equipment and a big buoy. I was told that it used to be a "barrel roll," but I can't really picture how it worked just by looking at this. Apparently you would hold on to the bars as you ran on the barrel, which made it roll. I'm not sure how big it was or how it worked.
