I'm continuing my Licca profile photos of Liccas wearing their default Licca Castle white dresses. :) Close-ups like these make you pay more attention to the faces because each doll has a different make-up palette (and that's awesome).
The pink-haired girl with shaggy bangs on the left was my second Castle Licca all those years ago (I got her in October 2006). She's the one that truly began my Castle obsession, you could say. ^^ Her hair's done in an 'odango' (dumpling) style, with two long sausage rolls at the sides of her face. She has the sweetest shiny lips in a pastel pink color and beautiful green eyes.
Her friend is one of my newer Liccas from a few months ago. Also a Castle Licca, she drew me in because of her make-up color combination: VIOLET EYES (!) and absolutely gorgeous candy pink lips. Paired with violet hair, she's as cutesy as can be! She's also my second violet-haired Licca - I do love candy colors for hair! :D
More to come.
Continuing, a potential first record for New York County (finder unknown to me).

we are continuing our quest to be as safe and visible as possible, we have the neon tights, the neon tops, reflective belts, bands, etc, we have the ANSI / OSHA certified class III reflective vests, but we continue the quest to have outfits that are visible as well as comfortable to wear as we walk, run or bike.
These are the neon yellow outfits we have tried, from the company in Florida, we have some neon orange outfits, the neon orange color may be the better color for wear during the summer, as the orange contrasts with the greenery we have here on the Alabama Gulf Coast. The neon yellow appears better for the late afternoon, evening and nights when paired with reflective belts, bands and / or vests.
Since we both usually run in races together, the neon outfits we wear show up in the sea of black, and blues and white outfits. There have been a number of comments by local media about the couple with the neon yellow (or green or orange) outfit we may be wearing. One local station has made several comments how we stand out in the sea of runners, walkers, sorry we do not do bike races, to dangerous. We have a couple of other couples who run with us, along with their kids, and we all wear the same color outfits when we race, and we tend to run as a group, 10 runners in neon yellow tights and tops, grouped together really tend to stand out as a right spot in all the other non-neon clothing.
we have had a number of negative comments from some others who make fun of our visibility, like guys do not wear neon yellow, neon green or neon orange is the usual comment form the guys in their black shorts and tights. After several cyclists have been hit here in he Mobile area there appears to be a subtle change occurring, there are now a couple of others who have adopted neon yellow, green or orange. There are now a few more folks out for walks and runs with reflective materials.
as mentioned above, there are a few others who share the desire to be seen and safe.
older post below:
determined that I needed to be more visible while we rode out bicycles on and near roads.
most bikers wear a colored top, not necessarily neon and black shorts and bottoms, really not that visible. A lot of the colored tops act more like camouflage rather than being visible as a solid color would be.
we found the neon tops at a local sporting goods store and the tights come from a company in Florida. who has them in 51 colors, a number of them neon.
we have some zentari suits we wear that are neon, wearing over bike clothing stretches them in the waist and bottom area, kind of baggy for running, we found these work better able to replace as needed when worn.
we get stopped regularly by others who tell us we stand out from a long distance, we are quite visible..
The Continuing Education department at College of DuPage recently hosted a free Adult Education Expo to showcase the resources available to adult learners. The event included displays and performances from current students as well as opportunities for attendees to enroll in classes and explore educational and career pathways.
Work continues on the site of the new Louisville VA Medical Center in Louisville, Kentucky Oct. 31. Structural steel placement began recently as placement of concrete for the basement walls and earthwork continue on the site. The new 104 bed, full-service hospital, will provide world-class healthcare to more than 45,000 Veterans. Construction is anticipated to be completed in 2026.
Continuing to test the D-750 with Tamron 24-70 lens. Looking good!

NEW JERSEY’S BALD EAGLE POPULATION CONTINUES TO SOAR
January 14th, 2016
CONSERVE WILDLIFE FOUNDATION OF NEW JERSEY RELEASES RESULTS OF 2015 STATE BALD EAGLE REPORT
by Lindsay McNamara, Communications Manager
Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey today released the 2015 Bald Eagle Report, highlighting the number of nesting pairs, active nests and nest productivity for the raptors throughout New Jersey with data collected by New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Division of Fish and Wildlife biologists, CWF biologists and committed volunteers.
“With 161 pairs of bald eagles this past year — up from just a single nest in the early 1980’s — the dramatic ongoing recovery of bald eagles across the northeast continues to inspire so many of us,” said David Wheeler, Conserve Wildlife Foundation Executive Director. “The thrill of seeing a bald eagle fly across the sky is unparalleled. This report captures how these eagles are continuing their All-American return.”
The report notes that thirteen new eagle pairs were found this season, nine in the south, two in Central Jersey and two in Northern New Jersey.

Proving yet again that no bike is ever truly "done", I flipped the stem on my Kogswell yesterday. It's an 80mm 6-degree stem from Velo Orange, so I got another couple of inches of rise, and approximately a 15% increase in fun. I'm now nearly totally upright on the bike.
Unfortunately, the change in position has also changed the rating of the Brooks saddle from "acceptable" to "verging on ass-hatchet".

English
Mina de São Domingos and its mining village represent an ancient Roman miner located in the town of Pinto Court, district of Beja, Portugal.
The mine was connected to the river-sea port of Pomarão in the Guadiana river, through a railway, iron miner via reduced by about 15 km long.
Geology
The mine is located in the center of the Iberian Pyrite Belt-called Zona Sul Portuguesa, where are also mines Canal-Skull, Palmela, Aljustrel and Neves-Corvo and which continues in Spain in addition to the Rio Tinto mines.
The estimated mass of 25 million tonnes of ore exploited in Santo Domingo had a provision subvertical, with an orientation approximately east-west, with the predominance of pyrite and variable amounts of blende, chalcopyrite and galena. The pyrite sulfur had between 45% and 48%. The concentration of copper and zinc were 1.25% and 2 to 3%, respectively.
History
The history of São Domingos mine is prior to Roman times, when the work has intensified with the operation of the cap iron that covered the mass of pyrite, for exploration of copper, gold and silver.
In the nineteenth century, in 1858, opened a recent exploration of the mine by the company and Barry Manson, and lasted the works for over a century until 1965, closing the mine, after exhaustion of the ore.
The mining of the mine in modern times was made to open up to 120 m depth, and the work continued through shafts and tunnels up to 400 m.
With the end of the mine, the mining village went into decline.

A Mina de São Domingos e a respectiva aldeia mineira correspondem a um antigo couto mineiro localizado na freguesia de Corte do Pinto, concelho de Mértola, Portugal.
A mina tinha ligação ao porto fluvio-marítimo do Pomarão, no rio Guadiana, por meio de um caminho-de-ferro mineiro de via reduzida com cerca de 15 km de extensão.
Geologia
A mina fica situada no centro da Faixa Piritosa Ibérica da designada Zona Sul Portuguesa, onde se situam igualmente as minas de Canal-Caveira, Lousal, Aljustrel e Neves-Corvo e que se prolonga em Espanha para além das minas de Riotinto.
A massa estimada de 25 milhões de toneladas de minério explorada em São Domingos tinha uma disposição subvertical, com uma orientação aproximadamente este-oeste, com a presença predominante de pirite e, em percentagens variáveis, de blenda, calcopirite e galena. A pirite apresentava teores de enxofre entre 45% e 48%. Os teores médios de cobre e zinco eram de 1,25% e de 2 a 3%, respectivamente.
História
A história da mina de São Domingos é anterior aos tempos do Império Romano, altura em que os trabalhos se intensificaram com a exploração do chapéu de ferro que cobria a massa piritosa, para exploração de cobre, ouro e prata.
No século XIX, em 1858, tem início a exploração recente da mina pela companhia Manson and Barry, tendo-se prolongado os trabalhos por mais de um século até 1965, ano de encerramento da mina, após esgotamento do minério.
A lavra da mina nos tempos modernos foi feita a céu aberto até aos 120 m de profundidade, tendo os trabalhos continuado por meio de poços e galerias até aos 400 m.
Com o fim da mina, a aldeia mineira entra em decadência.
On Saturday, December 12, St. John Cantius Parish hosted its annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols.
The Festival, which originates in the Anglican Church, is a service of Christian worship celebrating the birth of Jesus. The story of the fall of humanity, the promise of the Messiah, and the birth of Jesus is told in nine short Bible readings from Genesis, the prophetic books and the Gospels, interspersed with the singing of Christmas carols, hymns and choir music.
At St. John Cantius, the Festival is traditionally celebrated after first Vespers of Gaudete Sunday. It is concluded with exposition and benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament, and is thus a splendid way for the participants to prepare for the coming of Christ on Christmas.
Perhaps my favorite place in Europe, Scotland continues to draw me back time and time again.
These photos were taken on a Canon T3i during a 6 day road trip through the Scottish highlands.

Pride of the Clyde Bova IIG 9817 is seen about to pick up a contingent of shipyard workers from Scotstoun for the journey home.
At one time there would have been well over a dozen buses and coaches lined up on South Street at the end of the day, now there are just two which serve both Govan and Scotstoun yards.
Just like the butterfly, I too will awaken in my own time.
