Mirror mirror, on the wall. I'm just someone with no self control. You don't know the real me, but you get a glimpse so you paint a picture. So vivid, but just so wrong. This little girl is broken this time. I've seen things no one should ever have to see. I paint a smile on to tell the world I'm doing fine while everything I've known flies out the window. I'm turning to the next thing. I laugh just for this moment. I guess it's not enough to be there sometimes but I've been dealt a hand no one should ever have to play. And now I sit here, all alone and bored. My head is filled with advice I once ignored- that all you get from this moment, is all you gave to your past. I'm turning to the next thing, I laugh just for this moment..
I'm crying on the bathroom floor 'cause nothing is the same.

Rule of Composition : Controlling Background
This picture consists of a background and a main object. The background being a white wall, and the main object being the notebook.
Why this is a good picture :
This is a good picture because it has a plain background that does not distract the viewer from the main object. The main object also has a symmetrical circles design that is aesthetically pleasing. The lighting on the picture is just right and has good exposure.
How can this be improved :
This picture can be improved if the was not holding the object. The hand created a imbalance within the picture and it would look better without it.

This picture was taken at Sutton Road, Mansfield on 28 January 1972 to symbolise the National Bus Company's decision to separate Midland General and Mansfield District, which had been implemented on I January 1972. This pair of Bristol MW6G coaches had carried both fleetnames but each had recently had the appropriate one removed.
373RNN was a Mansfield District coach, whilst 1378R belonged to Midland General.
Under the guidance of General Manager John Niblock and Company Secretary Michael John Holmes, the two companies had been progressively integrated during the 1960s to improve efficiency and contain increasing costs. Someone at NBC HQ, however, thought it would be a good idea to place Transport & General Workers Union represented MGO staff under Trent control (also TGWU represented) and National Union of Railwaymen represented MDT staff with similarly represented East Midland Motor Services. Sharing the profitable MGO/MDT organisation between its two NBC neighbours, and the resulting size of the restructured companies, may also have been considerations.
The Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) of Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York – This unique sea-dwelling rabbit, which is actually a close relative of the sea lion, was officially discovered and investigated by Henry Hudson when he first visited this land to colonize the area by order of the Dutch government. It was named New Amsterdam -- today’s New York City. This island was named after he saw the beach covered with strange swimming wild rabbits. The word “Coney Island” means “wild rabbit island” in Dutch (originally Conyne Eylandt, or Konijneneiland in modern Dutch spelling). Sea rabbits were also referred mermaid rabbit, merrabbit, rabbit fish or seal rabbit in the natural history documents in the 17th century. The current conservation status, or risk of extinction, of the sea rabbit is Extinct in the Wild.
This website features two species of sea rabbits, which have been taken care of by Dr. Takeshi Yamada (山田武司) at the Coney Island Sea Rabbit Repopulation Center, which is a part of the Marine biology department of the Coney Island University in Brooklyn, New York. They are – Coney Island Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) called “Seara” and Coney Island Tiger-striped Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus konjinicus) called “Stripes”.
The photographs and videos featured in this website chronicle adventures of the Coney Island sea rabbits and the world as seen by them. This article also documented efforts of Dr. Takeshi Yamada for bringing back the nearly extinct sea rabbits to Coney Island in the City of New York and beyond. Dr. Yamada produced a series of public lectures, workshops, original public live interactive fine art performances and fine art exhibitions about sea rabbits at a variety of occasions and institutions in the City of New York and beyond. Dr. Yamada is an internationally active educator, book author, wildlife conservationist and high profile artist, who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Sea Rabbit
Other Common Names: Coney Island Sea Rabbit, Beach Rabbit, Seal Rabbit, mer-rabbit, merrabbit, Atlantic Sea Rabbit.
Latin Name: Monafluffchus americanus
Origin: Atlantic coast of the United States
Description of the specimen: In the early 17th century’s European fur craze drove the fleet of Dutch ships to the eastern costal area of America. Then Holland was the center of the world just like the Italy was in the previous century. New York City was once called New Amsterdam when Dutch merchants landed and established colonies. Among them, Henry Hudson is probably the most recognized individual in the history of New York City today. “This small island is inhabited by two major creatures which we do not have in our homeland. The one creature is a large arthropod made of three body segments: the frontal segment resembles a horseshoe, the middle segment resembles a spiny crab and its tail resembles a sharp sword. Although they gather beaches here in great numbers, they are not edible due to their extremely offensive odor. Another creature which is abundant here, has the head of wild rabbit. This animal of great swimming ability has frontal legs resemble the webbed feet of a duck. The bottom half of the body resembles that of a seal. This docile rabbit of the sea is easy to catch as it does not fear people. The larger male sea rabbits control harems of 20 to 25 females. The meat of the sea rabbit is very tender and tasty.” This is what Hadson wrote in his personal journal in 1609 about the horseshoe crab and the sea rabbit in today’s Coney Island area of Brooklyn, New York. Sadly, just like the Dodo bird and the Thylacine, the sea rabbit was driven to extinction by the European settlers’ greed. When Dutch merchants and traders arrived here, sea rabbits were one of the first animals they hunted down to bring their furs to homeland to satisfy the fur craze of the time. To increase the shipment volume of furs of sea rabbit and beavers from New Amsterdam, Dutch merchants also started using wampum (beads made of special clam shells) as the first official currency of this country.
At the North Eastern shores of the United States, two species of sea rabbits were commonly found. They are Coney Island Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) and Coney Island Tiger-striped Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus konjinicus). Sadly, due to their over harvesting in the previous centuries, their conservation status became “Extinct in the Wild” (ET) in the Red List Endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Currently, these sea rabbits are only found at breeding centers at selected zoos and universities such as Coney Island Aquarium and Coney Island University in Brooklyn, New York. The one shown in this photograph was named "Seara" and has been cared by Dr. Takeshi Yamada at Coney Island University.
The sea rabbit is one of the families of the Pinniped order. Pinnipeds (from Latin penna = flat and pes/pedis = foot) are sea-mammals: they are homeothermic (i.e having high and regulated inner temperature), lung-breathing (i.e dependant on atmospheric oxygen) animals having come back to semi aquatic life. As soon as they arrive ashore, females are caught by the nearest adult male. Males can maintain harems of about 20 females on average. Several hours to several days after arriving ashore, pregnant females give birth to eight to ten pups with a dark brown fur. As soon as birth occurs, the mother’s special smell and calls help her pups bond specifically to her. The mother stays ashore with her pup for about one week during which the pup gains weight. During the first week spent with her newborn, the mother becomes receptive. She will be impregnated by the bull, which control the harem. Implantation of the embryo will occur 3 months later, in March-April. During the reproductive period, the best males copulate with several tens females. To do so, males have to stay ashore without feeding in order to keep their territory and their harem. In mid-January, when the last females have been fecundated, males leave at sea to feed. Some of them will come back later in March-April for the moult. The other ones will stay at sea and will come back on Coney Island only in next November. After fecundation, the mother goes at sea for her first meal. At sea, mothers feed on clams, crabs, shrimps, fish (herring, anchovy, Pollock, capelin etc.) and squids. When she is back, the mother recovers her pups at the beach she left them. Suckling occurs after auditive and olfactory recognition had occured. In March-April, the dark brown fur is totally replaced by an adult-like light brownish grey fur during the moult that lasts 1-2 months. This new fur is composed by 2 layers. Externally, the guard fur is composed by flat hairs that recover themselves when wet. By doing so, they make a water-proof barrier for the under fur. The underfur retains air when the seal is dry. Because of isolating properties of the air, the underfur is the insulating system of the fur. In March-April, the fur of adults is partially replaced. First reproduction occurs at 1-yr old in females. Males are physiologically matures at 1 year old but socially matures at +2 years old.
NOTE: The name of Coney Island is commonly thought to be derived from the Dutch Konijn Eylandt or Rabbit Island as apparently the 17th century European settlers noted many rabbits running amuck on the island.

When it's to hot, kitchen's window remans open. You can see the cooks checking on your food. Or perhaps, they are just hungry :)
A real big boys toy - and I got a go.
Normally the crane is controlled by an operator in the cabin above - eventually this crane will be remotely controlled by an operator in a building about 1/2 kilometer away.
I bought this Acctim Radio-controlled clock from Robert Dyas. I could not get it to show anywhere near the correct time after several attempts - resetting it, leaving it to pick up a signal overnight, changing the battery, and switching it to a manual quartz clock and then back again. It was obviously picking up a radio signal but on each occasion that the hands stopped moving the time was several hours out.
I was about to return it to Robert Dyas when I decided to phone the manufacturers. The switchboard immediately told me that what you have to do is take out the battery, put it back the WRONG way round, leave it a few seconds, and then replace it the correct way round.
I tried this somewhat bizarre solution and the clock immediately worked perfectly. If this solution is so well known to the manufacturers that even the switchboard know of it, why can it not be included in the instructions?
