African Hoopoe
The African hoopoe (Upupa africana) is a species of hoopoe in the family Upupidae. Previously considered as a subspecies (Upupa epops africana) of the hoopoe, due to its vocalisations and small differences in plumage, it is otherwise similar to that species.
The species was described by the German naturalist Johann Matthäus Bechstein under the current binomial name Upupa africana
The African hoopoe is 25-28 centimeters (10-11 inches) in length and weighs 40-60 grams (1.4-2.1 ounces). It has a long, decurved bill, with cinnamon, black and white plumage and a long crest that raises when the bird is alarmed. Its wings are broad and rounded. The female is slightly duller than the male with less white in the secondary feathers. The juvenile has dull buff underparts with a shorter bill and buff tinge to the white wing bars.

Madikwe Game Reserve
The Madikwe Game Reserve is a protected area in South Africa, part of the latest park developments in the country. Named after the Madikwe or Marico River, on whose basin it is located, it was opened in 1991 and comprises 750 km2 of bushland north of the small town Groot-Marico up to the Botswana border.
Madikwe Game Reserve lies 90 km north of Zeerust on what used to be farm land, but owing to the poor soil type, farming was not that successful. After extensive research, the South African Government found that this land would best be utilised as a provincial park, to economically uplift this otherwise rather poor area.
The process reintroducing wildlife to the area began in 1992 under the codename Operation Phoenix which relocated entire breeding herds of elephants, Cape buffaloes, south-central black rhinos and southern white rhinos along with various species of antelopes. Following Operation Phoenix, Madikwe has also successfully reintroduce rarer predatory species such as lions, cheetahs, spotted hyenas and Cape wild dogs bringing the total large mammal population of the reserve to over 10 000. There are currently more than 60 species of mammal in the park.

Reserva do Madikwe
A Madikwe Game Reserve é uma área protegida na África do Sul, parte dos mais recentes desenvolvimentos de parques no país. Batizado em homenagem ao rio Madikwe ou Marico, em cuja bacia está localizado, foi inaugurado em 1991 e compreende 750 km2 de mata nativa ao norte da pequena cidade de Groot-Marico até a fronteira com o Botswana.
A Madikwe Game Reserve fica 90 km ao norte de Zeerust, no que costumava ser terras agrícolas, mas devido ao tipo de solo pobre, a agricultura não teve tanto sucesso. Após uma extensa pesquisa, o governo sul-africano descobriu que esta terra seria melhor utilizada como um parque provincial, para elevar economicamente esta área bastante pobre.
O processo de reintrodução da vida selvagem na área começou em 1992 sob o codinome Operação Fênix, que realocou rebanhos inteiros de elefantes, búfalos do Cabo, rinocerontes-negros do centro-sul e rinocerontes brancos do sul junto com várias espécies de antílopes. Após a Operação Phoenix, Madikwe também reintroduziu com sucesso espécies predatórias mais raras, como leões, chitas, hienas-pintadas e cahorros do mato, elevando a população total de grandes mamíferos da reserva para mais de 10.000. Atualmente, existem mais de 60 espécies de mamíferos no parque

Currently sitting at 163k and going beautifully. All I need to do shortly is get some new tyres and brakes. Both still have life left but I don't like running them right down. These should be done in the next week or so before my next long distance drive.
This is the current commission i'm working on. It's work in progress...so lot of work to do. It's a Rikku cosplay costume from final fantasy x-2

Bob’s show comes down this week (March 29, 2013). Here, for family/friends far away, is the photographer, the venue (Swift Current Museum, Swift Current, SK), and one configuration of the show.
This is a current view of the Victory Factory at the long-gone Endicott-Johnson Shoe Company, Johnson City, New York.
This is another view of the same Victory Factory building at this previous post.
My grandfather worked here at this factory, as did thousands of immigrants and laborers, for many years. The history is a fascinating one of the way in which E-J treated it's employees, and is well worth a read at various places. At the very least, the wikipedia article can give a good overview. E-J's influence on what would later become International Business Machines (IBM) is also very interesting!
There are is a collection of wonderful historic photos from the area here.
The company was responsible for nearly all of the shoe and footwear for the United States Army during World War I and World War II.

i found a super cheapo bottle of sinful colors 'nail junkie' at a pharmacy yesterday- i haven't seen this brand since i lived in the US. anyway, this colour is super gorgeous and glittery. i attempted to do 'syrup' nails, but i don't think it really worked. 1 coat sally hansen x-treme 'white on', many many multiple gradient layers of sinful colors 'nail junkie', sv fast dry top coat. when this chips, i'll just throw some black shatter on top. that should be pretty.
oh, and to add- i've ended (obviously) my lifelong ban on glitter nail polish. to get it off? put some acetone on a cotton ball, put on your nail, wrap with a small bit of foil, let sit for a few minutes (i had like, 8 layers of glitter polish on my toes, i left the acetone on for 15 minutes). when you take the foil off, most of the polish will be on the cotton ball and the rest comes off with a simple swipe or two. GLITTER IS BACK! which is good because the opi muppet collection coming out has six glitters that i will possibly die without).
Detail of a mural illustrating events during the Mexican Revolution. The banners in the back read "effective suffrage - no re-relection" and "land and liberty". At lower left are portraits of some current United States politicians.
(There is a street called "No Re-election" in downtown Cuernavaca, Morelos State. One of the causes of the 1910 revolution was President Porfirio Diaz seeking yet another term.)
The only one that is not for trade is the pick ax. The pick ax is swirled with gunmetal and TLG orange.
Our boss came to visit us on the day we launched in Italy (May 8th, 2008). The picture was taken by Giovanni Calia.

Right at the moment the cyclone status was all clear. Luckily. I wouldn't know what to do otherwise.
Driving home into Lordship and passed this culvert draining flood waters from one side of the road to the other. On this side the tide was coming in creating these swirling pools of sea-foam. Had to turn around and snap a photo. Hope you guys like it!

The current boys in my resin crew of a picture I took last month. This will probably be the last of how Qi will look like as he is now >...< before I send him off.
Hmm seems like Masa is keeping a distance from the other 2 ...wonder what's up...
Think I should really get down to doing a group family shot of crew soon.
Currently about 300 people, 68 families live in small bamboo huts on stilts at the rubbish dumpsite of Mae Sot/ Thailand. These refugees who successfully fled the brutal military regime in Burma, with hopes of leading a life free of human rights abuses, are living under dire conditions. They lack working and residency papers, they are illegal immigrants living and working in the middle of stinky dump.
Their spirit of survival is amazing, but their conditions are terribly dismal. They literally live on the garbage and their houses are constructed and built from the recycled material from the garbage dump itself. The basic essentials they need to survive and to live as human beings basically come from the garbage dump and these include food, clothing, toys for their children, pots and utensils for cooking and even the water they drink come from the lake near the dumpsite which is terribly contaminated.
Please help to make a difference and relocate these refugees to a clean and safe area. On a rented property we will build basic infrastructural facilities such as housing, toilets and a water well.
