The cause? Humans....The effect? Drought and heat.
I know this is dark and not pretty but find it necessary to document what is happening in Central Texas...not just here but other places in the world too. Our desperate earth cannot heal unless we step up and do our part. This weighs heavy on my mind during most of my waking hours.
'Cause every time we touch, I feel the static.
And every time we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat so?
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life.
'Cause you know what the week has been like. I started off the week with short hair, clean shaven, 15 pounds lighter, and 10 years younger. via 500px ift.tt/2CkDn50
Flynn causes confusion sometimes - I get asked fairly frequently "what kind of dog is that?". The most common guess is that's he's probably some kind of lurcher (sighthound/collie mix) - which I can understand but more than once, people have thought he's "part staffie"!! In a way, it surprises me when people are confused by his appearance because border collies are SO common in the UK.
Many pet BCs here are still working bred, or at least have recent ancestors who were farm dogs & they don't look much like the show type fluffy, classically marked b/w collies. They might have shorter fur, or odd markings & ears & tails vary too. I think with Flynn it's the fact he is both short haired and red tri - rather than the more traditional black & white that creates confusion. To me, he still looks like a fairly typical, leggy, smooth coated farm collie - the type that can be spotted riding happily on quad bikes out on the fields, or else barking at passers-by from behind farmyard gates up & down the country!
Funnily enough, we get far fewer questions about Flynn's breed when he's off lead & playing. He has strong herding instincts & spends most of his time circling me, stalking & staring intensely at his toy. He has the "collie eye" perfected. Most recognise the behaviour as classic border collie - even if he is a slightly funny colour ;-)
Banksy's latest work. He has been the rage in NYC causing a citywide Easter egg hunt that resulted with the Police and the Mayor condemning his work. So what does he do, have an outdoor gallery with the police station in the distant background. You got to love the artist for his artwork and brazen style.
Another point that moderns do not grasp, is that there is no reason for necessarily seeking the cause of a phenomenon on the plane where it is produced, and that on the contrary one has to consider the possibility of a non-material cause, above all when it is a question of a phenomenon whose beginning is unknown a priori, and unknowable materially, as is the origin of living beings.
Transformist evolutionism is the classical example of the bias that invents "horizontal" causes because one does not wish to admit a "vertical" dimension: one seeks to extort from the physical plane a cause that it cannot furnish and that is necessarily situated above matter.
Even within the order of physical causes, one has to take into account the simultaneous presence of the immanent metaphysical Cause: if a seed is the immediate cause of a plant, it is because the divine archetype intervenes in the physical causality. Geometrically speaking, causes can be situated on the "concentric circles" that constitute the Universe, but other causes - and with all the more reason the First Cause - are situated at the Center and act through the radii emanating from it.
The divine Intellect contains the archetypes of creation, and it is starting from this Cause - or from this causal system - at a given cyclic "moment" of the cosmogonic process, that the "ideas" are "incarnated" which will be manifested in the form of contingent creatures.
We do not ask physicists to be content with an anthropomorphic and naive creationism; but at least it would be logical on their part - since they aim at a total and
flawless science - to try to understand the traditional ontocosmological doctrines, especially the Hindu doctrine of the envelopes (kosha) of the Self (Atma): a doctrine that, precisely, presents the Universe as a system of circles proceeding from the Center-Principle to that extreme limit which for us is matter.
For human science does not derive solely from the need to know and to register; more profoundly its origin is the thirst for the essential; now the sense of essentiality attracts us toward shores other than those of the limited plane of physical phenomena alone.

Three cheers to non-sobriety!! lol, I've been two weeks alcohol free because I was on pain meds for my aching back, today I celebrated it’s demise!! :-)
I know its a wine glass but it's all I had other than a coffee cup.
Please push the "L" on your keyboard :-)
I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can they say I never change
They're the ones that stay the same
I'm the one now
Cause I'm still here
Summer turned to winter
And the snow it turned to rain
And the rain turned into tears upon your face
And god I hope it's not too late
It's not too late
'Cause you are not alone
I'm always there with you
And we'll get lost together
Till the light comes pouring through
'Cause when you feel like you're done
And the darkness has won
Babe, you're not lost
When your worlds crashing down
And you can't bear to fall
I said, babe, you're not lost
Life can show no mercy
It can tear your soul apart
It can make you feel like you've gone crazy
But you're not
Things have seem to changed
There's one thing that's still the same
In my heart you have remained
And we can fly fly fly away
'Cause you are not alone
And I am there with you
And we'll get lost together
Till the light comes pouring through
'Cause when you feel like you're done
And the darkness has won
Babe, you're not lost
When the worlds crashing down
And you can not bear to crawl
I said, baby, you're not lost

Hai ngày qua anh ta ăn không ngon - ngủ cũng không yên!
Anh ta phải suy nghĩ rất nhiều , rất nhiều về người anh ta yêu .
Cô ta- người con gái mà anh ta yêu- Tại sao lại bỏ rơi anh ta như thế này?!
Anh ta không làm gì sai , anh ta yêu cô ta hết mực , vậy tại sao cô ta lại chọn cách ra đi ?
Liệu cô ta có biết anh ta đang rất đau ?
Nỗi đau gặm nhấm anh ta từng chút một , anh ta đang cố phải chịu đựng một mình .
Anh ta rất yêu cô ta , anh ta có thể bảo vệ và che chở cho cô ta mà .
Anh ta không muốn rời mắt khỏi cô ta , nhưng nếu cứ để mắt đến cô ta , thì anh ta lại càng đau đớn hơn .
Bây giờ , anh ta phải làm gì ?!
The golden browns in this photo are caused by the setting sun shining through the sand-filled desert air north of Mopti, on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert. Mopti is a large town and major port on the Bani River which flows into the great River Niger. The Bani river is its largest tributary and joins the Niger only two km downstream (to the right) of this view. About 80% of Mali's population live within reach of the River Niger. The River Niger is just visible in the distance in this picture. The long narrow boats (pinasses) can be seen everywhere on Mali's waterways. At 4,200 km in length, the Niger is one of Africa's longest rivers. The Niger starts in Guinea, flows east into Mali, through the Sahel and the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, and out of Mali to the south, through Niger, continuing through Nigeria and via the massive Niger delta to the Atlantic .

I know it's not polite to toot your own horn, but holy hell do I ever love the way today's shots turned out! I was totally inspired by this shot, and knew I wanted to do my own version with blues instead of pinks. Of course, in post processing I wound up falling in love with this shot, which is decidedly more muted. Whatever. Don't you just love those days where shoots go even better than expected and you totally feel like you rocked it out? This is one of those days for me. So let me enjoy it!! Ha!
That said, there were a bunch of outtakes that I really liked too, so I'm posting them in the comments. Let me know what you think of them. And as a side note, when I started my self portrait 365 project, I wasn't sure I could handle it. I mean, I'm self conscious of the way I look and usually hate pictures of me. So how was I going to do a whole year of it, right? But what I've discovered in the course of doing these daily self portraits, is that I love the way I can totally transform my look for different shots. Wigs, makeup, angles, processing...it's become this total obsession of mine. I love making myself look like somebody else, while still retaining the bits of me that I love. This shot is such a good example of that.
Ok, I'll stop rambling about how much I love these shots. Ha. If you read this far, you must really like me a lot! ;)

30 Songs in 30 Days: Day 10 (Professor Booty - Beastie Boys)
A couple I know are going through a major transition. While talking to hubbie about it, I wished him good luck. He said, "this is not about luck. At this point it's all a matter of cause and effect." We left it at that.
Last weekend we had significant rainfall in Nevada City--over 10 inches. On Monday morning after the storm blew through, I opened the door to let the dogs out and was overwhelmed by the chirping of the frogs. All of a sudden, overnight, there were thousands of them, filling the air with their staccato songs. It gave me a moment of pause, and got me to thinking about that cause and effect thing. I think there may be a tad of wisdom in it.

Location: Coruscant
///Log Entry\\\
After our encounter with a Sith assassin on Coruscant, I wanted to take some precautions. I'd heard rumors that there was a weapons dealer selling beskar in the Coruscant underworld, so I decided to go off the radar and try to find him. I was reluctant to take Sev with me, especially since so many of my fellow Survivors had recently betrayed our cause. I had a bad feeling that he was undercover with the Imperials. There was something about him... he reminded me of an Imperial. Brendol Hux? Veers, maybe? It was an uncanny feeling, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
Sev's story was that he was a test subject for Imperial experiments, and he had escaped. He said the Sith assassin was tasked with hunting him down so that he couldn't share any intel with the New Republic. Not the most convincing story, I know. But it was better for the kid to stay where I could keep a close eye on him. And if he was telling the truth, he had to be protected at all costs.
I took the Golden Nexu, and Sev rented an airspeeder. The weapons dealer was not someone who was easily found, and I suspected he liked it that way. Finally, I found his shop and told Sev to meet me there. The weapons dealer was polishing a blaster rifle when I walked in.
"I've heard you sell beskar weapons," I said.
He scowled and continued polishing the rifle. "Beskar only grows in its value, and you don't seem like the sort who can afford it."
"I think you'll be surprised at what I can afford," I said.
The weapons dealer's response was cut off as Sev trudged through the door. The dealer looked up from his polishing and squinted at Sev through his cybernetic eye.
"I am not a man who is often surprised," the weapons dealer responded quietly.
He stared at Sev for a few moments, then disappeared into a back room and returned with the weapon. It was a beskar axe, intricately carved and honed to a deadly edge. The perfect weapon for dealing with a Sith assassin.
I eagerly reached for the weapon, but the weapons dealer shook his head. He handed the weapon to Sev. "I see the spark of a warrior in this one. The blood of a great fighter flows in his veins, yes?"
Sev seemed surprised by the weapons dealer, and he took the weapon carefully.
I frowned. "Hey, the kid's not the only one with warrior spark," I said, taking the weapon from Sev. "He's also not the one with the credits," I added.
The weapons dealer smirked. "Credits are not what I want."
"Great," I said. "Free weapon."
He pointed out the window at the Golden Nexu. "That speeder. I like it very much."
"Yeah, well I like it very much too," I said. "Let's talk credits, shall we?"
"The speeder or no beskar."
"Now you listen to me, you nerf herder. You're not gonna-"
"The speeder or no beskar."

No, I am not celebrating a week's end by having cupcakes for my breaky.
This is to call attention to Cupcake Camp Montreal being held this Sunday at the Bitoque Restaurant in Montreal.
For a $10 donation at the door, you get to indulge in 3 mouthwatering cupcakes and coffee. And, 100% of the proceeds go to "Kids Help Phone", a very worthy cause.

Whatever the problem, from abuse to the death of a parent, Kids Help Phone is there with professional phone and web-based counselling services, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Cupcake Camps have been held around the world to resounding success. With many talented pro bakers in Montreal, like my friend Clever Cupcakes donating their cupcakes for the event, I am sure Montreal's will be a not-to-be-missed event, too.
I volunteered to take photos at this charitable event... so expect more sweet pics! =D

NGC 6939, discovered by William Herschel, is quite old for an Open Cluster, between 1 and 1.3 billion years. It also lies about 400 parsecs above the galactic plane, a little unusual for Open Clusters as they are usually within the plane of the galaxy, hence the alternative name of Galactic Clusters.
NGC 6946 (also discovered by William Herschel) is about 25 million light years away and resides in the Virgo Supercluster. It’s known as the Fireworks Galaxy because it seems to be a hive of supernovae; ten have been observed in the 20th and 21st centuries alone. This is about 10 times the rate observed in our own galaxy, even though the Milky Way has twice as many stars. In fact more supernovae have been observed in this galaxy than any other.
During 2009, a bright star within NGC 6946 flared up over several months to become over one million times as bright as the Sun. Shortly thereafter it faded rapidly. Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope suggest that the star did not survive, although there remains some infrared emission from its position. This is thought to come from debris falling onto a black hole that formed when the star died. This potential black hole-forming star is designated N6946-BH1. The progenitor is believed to have been a yellow hypergiant star.
