Mission: create a work that embodies the idea of transformation
WIT: I've seen these "time lapse" series in various places (including one on Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/20244619@N08/3531056542/.) I have been looking for a flower to use as a subject. This assignment made me think. This water lily lives in my backyard in a small water garden. One morning I set up the tripod and camera, using aperture priority f/4 on a 100mm macro lens. As the morning progressed I took many, many frames. Between the second and third of these final versions the sun started hitting the blossom. I had to shade it and shade my lens from flare.
In post processing, I set the color temperature at 4400 for all exposures. The third from left had a yellow cast which I removed as best I could with a hue/saturation/light adjustment layer. I selected the blossoms and reflections with a 100 pixel feathering and placed them on a black background. I was glad some green from the lily pads came too.
I tried selections shaped like ovals and rectangles first. I couldn't get them to blend without obvious lines.
Thanks for the assignment, it got me going on an idea that has been percolating for a while. I learned a lot about transforming and tweaking selections. I also almost blew up my PC when I started with a ten layer image and the memory went poof! My wife suggested tossing a few.
The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAF)S East African regional program has selected six sites to test interventions that address risks related to climate change and variability. Featured here is the Lower Nyando site in Kenya and ongoing activities related to making baskets as a way to diversify livelihoods and income sources. This could help create resilience to climate change in the long term. Photos. K. Trautmann.

Title: Dare to Dream of PEACE!
Dream Theme: Peace, science, and technology
Materials and techniques used: Paper-Mache, re-purposed water bottles, air-dry Crayola clay, canvas, acrylic paint, craft paints, and metallic paint pens.
About: Students brainstormed for words and names and symbols. We all worked together to combine our dreams of world peace and Huntsville. We decided to look to Picasso’s peace doves and Huntsville’s rockets for our symbols. We are very excited about the 3-D aspect of our assemblage, and cannot wait to see our rockets attached by fishing line soaring out off the Saturn V on a windy day!
Do you have any other project ideas? I would like to see them actually build houses from re-purposed water bottles – each bottle containing a “Message in a bottle.” Do this for homeless people or 3rd world country households.
Did you enjoy working on this project? Yes. My students and I worked on this project for 2 – 3 years! It was a fun on-going work of art!

If you want you can add the back wheel. It just slides in and locks, and is removed the same way. I found it added some jitter to the back end when I had the penny ballast in.

Regarding email I received, and of my own experience visiting other people blog, I figure out a lot of people coming here may not really know who I am ;)
I often do not read blogs and only check pictures, then jumping from link too link... So, for those who read, here come some infos, on what I am / I have done / I am working on...
To illustrate this, here come some picture of my office, that I share with my wife in our nice France countryside home.

So the other day, I showed where to find the App Store located on Macs. Well, today, I want to show how it's possible to create a self contained app, which actually shows up in your Dock using the iPhone App Store logo and everything, as you can see in the pic above.
The first thing you need to do is download Fluid:
Fluid is a cool free app that allows you to make apps out of web pages. You'll also need the iPhone App Store icon. Joshia Della at DeviantArt has one here:
joshladella005.deviantart.com/art/iPhone-icons-91004527
Okay, now that you have downloaded all the necessary components, open up Fluid and you should see the same dialog as above. First, paste in the url of Apple's download page. In this case it is:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/
Paste that in to the "URL" dialog. Next, you're going to fill in the "Name" dialog with "App Store" or "Mac App Store" or whatever name you want to give to this app.
Leave the "Location" dialog at its default of "Applications." Okay, in the "Icon" dialog, navigate to the PNG folder located inside the icon folder provided by Joshia Della and click on the "Applications" icon or whatever icon you prefer.
Now click "Create" and Fluid will ask you if you want to "Launch Now." Go ahead and click it because there's one more thing you need to do to make sure this is a self-contained app.
Go to the Preferences menu in your newly created app and go to the "Advanced" dialog. Inside, you will click on "Allow Browsing to Any Url." This option allows you to open up any link in the App itself. Otherwise, whenever you hit a link, it will automatically open up Safari or Firefox or whichever your default web browser might be.
That's all. Enjoy your new Mac App Store.
ProTip: When choosing icons for Fluid always use PNG files instead of JPEG. PNG files allow Alpha Channels, which is a big deal when part of the icon needs to be transparent. JPEGs don't allow this.

Impressions:
Avant-garde fine dining? Can this be a reality in the city of Toronto, still relatively green in establishing its place in the highly competitive world of dining. Perhaps it is Chef Claudio Aprile's bold endeavour to introduce a conservative Torontonian palate to the somewhat new movement of Molecular Gastronomy that has all the buzz a-going. I was personally excited in partaking in a local "MG" experience, particularly after a recent trio of gluttonous MG-centered pleasures in Chicago (Avenues, Alinea and Moto). I also knew that my impression of Aprile's nascent work could end up being an unfair comparison to that of Achetz, Bowles or Cantu (who are all still very young), as honing in ones craft takes both effort and time. As the only chef who is currently serving up molecular gastronomic creations, Aprile is our industry standard, a position, I am sure we'll see more competition of in this fair city as the days pass.
Housed in a heritage warehouse building, the aptly named Colborne Lane (as that is the address) hides amongst other new contenders to the city's burgeoning restaurant scene, taking over the space of what used to be Café du Marché. Its physical appearance also challenges the visual senses. Lost are the days of fine dining with white linens and table cloths, Aprile (ex- of Senses) & Harji (of Blowfish and Kultura) take the pretentiousness out but leave the higher prices in. Don't get me wrong, Colborne Lane is still a restaurant that is lit by candlelight, but is also decorated by interestingly shaped light fixtures that appear to come out of an artist's garage. The establishment also leaves out the warmth and romanticism that one typically feels when out consuming a special meal, replacing it instead with a rather dark and cool room filled with mild rock 'n roll/alternative music and decibel breaking chatter.
Not quite a dining experience that caters to most patrons, the do-it-yourself tasting menu creates a situation where you, as the diner, possess the responsibility of making the most appropriate selection of courses. In that sense, one is challenged in how he or she will make or break his or her evening. Does one focus on meat-centrity or attempt to make a fine balance between courses (i.e. can you trust yourself to get enough vegetables with your meal, or order some light and heavier items)? Will one be bombarded with too many flavours from all ends of the spectrum or stay conservative with monochromatic familiarities? Does one try to select options that feature a logical progression in the course of the plates or does one choose on the basis of components of interest alone? And although there is much potential on paper with the items offered, and there is good use of fantastic ingredients, along with the application of nouvelle concepts and interesting dishware, Aprile's kitchen appears to try just a little too hard in winning over tastebuds. Conceptually the chef's work deserves great applause; I seriously appreciated his attention to the visual and textural game, however menu items provide too many tasting options on a single plate and end up overwhelming the diner's senses. Sometimes variety is a good thing. For Colborne Lane, it doesn't always work and can leave one slightly confused.
Additionally, with the advent of tapas sized dishes, one is required to select at least 3-4 plates in order to find satisfaction. So do consider ordering your own dish if an item peeks your interest, because there really isn't enough to go around to share. And although this result in many tastings for any given diner, it also contributed to a hefty final bill due to the increase in trapped white space found on each of the large platters. (A big thank you to KJ of SE and her kind and generous invitation for me to join in on an evening of lovely company).
Service is friendly and respective, and depending on who is serving you, you might also be gifted with silence inducing dry humour that is offered at the most inappropriate of times. (After we had finished our desserts, JL was asked how he enjoyed things and when he hesitated to reply, was hit with the statement that the server would send his insults to the pastry chef – a remark that seemed to stem out of nowhere. Poor JL! I must give kudos to our initial server who was more helpful, quite pleasant and patient with us (rather me, and my camera).) The kitchen does send out plates slowly, so be prepared to wait a little (or a lot) between courses.
Colborne Lane does successfully provide the city with a segue into an interesting and progressive movement in dining. It is a refreshing move from the tried and true establishments of yesteryear, but sometimes it is with ventures like these that can make one appreciate why the tried-and-true remain as such. Whether or not Toronto is receptive of such novel forms of dining is another issue that can only be tested with time.
