On Friday, February 7, 2014, high school and middle school students dashed into the icy Atlantic as part of Special Olympics Virginia’s largest fundraiser: The Polar Plunge and the Cool School Challenge.
“Raising one million dollars for the fourth year in a row is incredible,” said Rick Jeffrey, Special Olympics Virginia president. “More importantly, though, these funds will help us to build bigger, better, more inclusive communities across the state of Virginia.”
In addition to the money raised, they got to take the icy dip into the Atlantic, all while earning a Friday “pass” from school, earn community service credit, Costume contests – prizes for best dressed male and female, prizes for teacher or team sponsor, and freezing photos.

Temperatures in Hungary last week have been the highest since records began. Walking past the Parliament building I caught these two guys soaking each other to cool down.
The word "cool," while wholly inoffensive, is, with the exceptions of certain four-letter words that ARE offensive, probably the most widely-used and ubiquitous interjection in the English language, at least in its American variety. In recent years, I have speculated that as the children of Israel watched Pharoah's army drown in the depths of the Red Sea, after having themselves crossed it dry-shod, they doubtless let out a mass exclamation composed of one word -- what else? -- "Cool!"
I realized while en route to our ward campout that I had forgotten to bring my tripod, and if I had done so, this picture may have turned out better than it did. After sunset, while the fire was blazing, some of the youth who were present began playing with "glow sticks," which glow in their various colors as the chemicals within them are made to interact with each other. I came up with the idea of doing some time exposures, which the kids all thought was a great idea, especially after I showed them what my Nikon D50 was capable of doing. I ended up taking perhaps 7 or 8 pictures, at exposure speeds of between 8 and 30 seconds. After I took a few and showed the results to the kids, they came up with this idea on their own. I held the camera as steadily as I could throughout the exposure, and this was the result. I think it would have turned out a little better if the fire in the background had not partially obscured the "C."
I will eventually post the other pictures I took in this series, but this one was the best, and all concerned -- middle-aged photographer and kids alike -- had a great time with it.
Sorry Jeran I have forgotten your cat's name? What a beauty she is, lots of character pleased to meet her :)

Cool seat !!!!!! When I saw this I had a chuckle to myself. I do wish my friend Doreen had been there I guess a few comments would have been made between us......followed by more laughter, lol.
I downloaded some frosty brushes (www.obsidiandawn.com) so as you can see from the edging I have had a play around. Imagine, in this cold weather I am using a frosty brush.

Ser cool, é ser indiferente na diferença. O cool sente-se, percepciona-se, mas não segue regras. É ser milimetricamente desligado, e sobretudo contrariar a corrente. É você suficientemente cool?
