I bought this very cool old art deco birdcage at a flea market last summer, originally thinking I might keep a bird in it. It really is too small for most any bird to live happily, though, so I abandoned the idea. It sat empty until recently, when I decided it would be fun to install some sort of festive holiday scene inside. I opted to build a little disco using holiday ornaments and some crystals from a broken chandelier I found at a thrift store. It is currently a work in progress...I still need to add a little electric candlelight to the mix. And no...I did not do the taxidermy work on the rats :-)
Considering getting a nice shot of the finished version to use for this year's Christmas card image. Too creepy? Yay or Nay?
A CORRENTE...
Chamei meu amigo
E disse-lhe assim:
- Vem amigo!...
Junte-se a mim
E aos outros também,
Formemos a corrente do bem
A exaltar o que é belo,
Sê, como eu, mais um elo
A torná-la resistente, forte,
Capaz de vencer a morte
Que o mal no mundo esparrama,
Acender a chama
Ardente da paz,
Do amor que refaz
As esperanças perdidas,
Salvemos as vidas!...
E ele me respondeu:
- Mas se só sobrarmos nós dois?
Lutando sem forças
Pra tombarmos depois?
Exangue,
Em sangue,
Vencidos na luta?
Eu, então, lhe respondi:
- Não importa a disputa,
A tormenta,
A gente se agüenta
Convictos no mesmo ideal,
Derrotarmos o mal
Que domina o mundo,
Imundo,
Onde o bem, já moribundo,
Agoniza
Ante o mal que enraíza
E se expande,
Grande,
Enorme,
Fétida massa informe
A cobrir toda Terra,
A incitar a guerra
Que aterra
Todas as esperanças,
O sorriso das crianças,
Os impulsos fraternais,
A alegria dos pais...
Monstro voraz que tudo consome,
Que semeia a fome
Nas populações combalidas,
Derrotadas, vencidas...
Que triste sorte,
A subjugação ou a morte
Onde antes havia paz.
Mal que se exprime
No crime,
Na violência,
No atentado à inocência
Das crianças ainda puras,
Na segregação das criaturas
Pelas origens raciais,
Nas injustiças sociais...
Nos vícios em que o homem se afoga,
No tráfico maldito da droga,
Que cresce,
Enriquece,
Mas enlutece a família,
Pois, quem segue sua trilha,
Emurchece,
Apodrece,
Definha...
E a culpa é tua
E também minha,
Que ficamos de braços cruzados,
Calados,
Vendo tudo acontecer...
Na politicagem vergonhosa,
Na intolerância religiosa,
Mãe de tantos conflitos.
Vem amigo!
Unamos nossos gritos
Mas, num ecoar doce e singelo,
Sê, como eu, mais um elo
A formar a nossa corrente,
Forte, resistente,
Capaz de fazer ouvir sua voz,
Sua vontade resoluta.
Afinal, Se Deus é por nós,
Quem será contra nós nesta luta?...
I've been on the prowl for a red cardigan just like this, to go with my new black leather skirt (currently being repaired). For now with this stretchy/shiny/velvety skirt.
The Bombardier Traxx is the current workhorse on most of the Cargo trains in Europe, but next to that, it also has seen a fair share of use in passenger trains. In the Netherlands the High Speed Line - Zuid between Amsterdam Schiphol, Rotterdam and Breda is their main operating ground.
In the last 5 years, BigDeady and have been desiging our own takes on the Bombardier Traxx in 1:45 scale. This is hopefully my final version.
It's powered by 2 L-motors geared 1:2 for prototypical speed. It has both a PFx Brick (4MB) and an XL speaker. There is some spare room for LEDs, which haven't been included as of yet.
All decals are made with a Dymo MobileLabeler Labelwriter on 300dpi. Unfortunately, it's not always the sharpest printer, but from a little distance it really works well.
Shout out to [https://www.flickr.com/photos/56812019@N06/] for his ongoing motivational emails, comments and messages. Also mad props to [https://www.flickr.com/photos/160869004@N08/], [https://www.flickr.com/photos/152818020@N02], dutchtrains and all others who have tried their hands on the Traxx in the past, you for sure inspired me to keep on building this machine.
My loco will make it's debut this weekend at the Brick King Lego Train Day:

Currently in Atlanta, GA with Noah Sahady on our trip around the U.S. this summer. Here is a list of all our stops along the way. If you would like to set up a shoot, mentor session or attend a workshop, contact Noah or myself. The workshops will be held in Orlando, Oklahoma City, Los Angeles and Seattle.
The Sheboygan River is really swollen with snow melt and recent rains. As I looked out our balcony windows I could see that he was really struggling to return to where he had launched. If he had continued in the other direction he would have been buffeted by Lake Michigan's waves.
Kedleston Hall is a neo-classical manor house owned by the National Trust, and seat of the Curzon family, located in Kedleston, Derbyshire, approximately 4 miles (6 km) north-west of Derby. The medieval village of Kedleston was moved in 1759 by Nathaniel Curzon to make way for the manor.[2] All that remains of the original village is the 12th century All Saints Church, Kedleston.[3]
Background
The current house was commissioned in 1759 by Nathaniel Curzon and designed by Robert Adam.[4]
The Curzon family, whose name originates in Notre-Dame-de-Courson in Normandy, have been in Kedleston since at least 1297, and have lived in a succession of manor houses near to or on the site of the present Kedleston Hall. The present house was commissioned by Sir Nathaniel Curzon (later 1st Baron Scarsdale) in 1759. The house was designed by the Palladian architects James Paine and Matthew Brettingham and was loosely based on an original plan by Andrea Palladio for the never-built Villa Mocenigo.
At the time a relatively unknown architect, Robert Adam, was designing some garden temples to enhance the landscape of the park; Curzon was so impressed with his designs that Adam was quickly put in charge of the construction of the new mansion.
On the death of Richard Curzon, 2nd Viscount Scarsdale in 1977, expenses compelled the heir, his cousin (Francis Curzon), to transfer the property to the care of the National Trust.[5]
Exterior
Kedleston Hall was Brettingham's opportunity to prove himself capable of designing a house to rival Holkham Hall. The opportunity was taken from him by Robert Adam who completed the North front (above) much as Brettingham designed it, but with a more dramatic portico.

The design of the three-floored house is of three blocks linked by two segmentally curved corridors. The ground floor is rusticated, while the upper floors are of smooth-dressed stone. The central, corps de logis, the largest block, contains the state rooms and was intended only for formal entertaining. The East block was a self-contained country house in its own right, containing all the rooms for the family's private use, and the identical West block contained the kitchens and all other domestic rooms and staff accommodation.
Plans for two more pavilions (as the two smaller blocks are known), of identical size and similar appearance, were never executed. These further wings were intended to contain, in the south-east a music room, and in the southwest a conservatory and chapel. Externally these latter pavilions would have differed from their northern counterparts by large glazed Serlian windows on the piano nobile of their southern facades. Here the blocks were to appear as of two floors only; a mezzanine was to have been disguised in the north of the music room block. The linking galleries here were also to contain larger windows, than on the north, and niches containing classical statuary.
The north front, approximately 117 yards [107 m] in length, is Palladian in character, dominated by a massive, six-columned Corinthian portico; however, the south front (illustrated right) is pure neoclassical Robert Adam. This garden facade is divided into three distinct sets of bays; the central section is a four-columned, blind triumphal arch (based on the Arch of Constantine in Rome) containing one large, pedimented glass door reached from the rusticated ground floor by an external, curved double staircase. Above the door, at second-floor height, are stone garlands and medallions in relief.
The four Corinthian columns are topped by classical statues. This whole centre section of the facade is crowned by a low dome visible only from a distance. Flanking the central section are two identical wings on three floors, each three windows wide, the windows of the first-floor piano nobile being the tallest. Adam's design for this facade contains huge "movement" and has a delicate almost fragile quality.
Hall
Marble Hall 1763, decoration completed in 1776-7
Entering the house through the great north portico on the piano nobile, one is confronted by the marble hall. Nikolaus Pevsner describes this as one of the most magnificent apartments of the 18th century in England.[6] It measures 67 feet (20 m) by 37 feet (11 m) in plan and is 40 feet (12 m) high.
Twenty fluted pink Nottingham alabaster columns with Corinthian capitals support the heavily decorated, high-coved cornice. Niches in the walls contain casts of classical statuary by Matthew Brettingham the Younger and others;[6] above the niches are grisaille panels of Homeric subjects inspired by Palladio's illustration of the Temple of Mars. The stucco in the ceiling was created by Joseph Rose in the 1770s.[6]
The floor is of inlaid Italian marble. Matthew Paine's original designs for this room intended for it to be lit by conventional windows at the northern end, but Adam, warming to the Roman theme, did away with the distracting windows and lit the whole from the roof through innovative glass skylight.
The overmantels to the fireplaces are by Joseph Rose with firebaskets by Robert Adam.[6]
At Kedleston, the hall symbolises the atrium of the Roman villa and the adjoining saloon the vestibulum.
Saloon
The saloon
The saloon, contained behind the triumphal arch of the south front, like the marble hall rises the full height of the house, 62 feet (19 m) to the top of the dome, where it too is sky-lit through a glass oculus. Designed as a sculpture gallery, this circular room 42 feet (13 m) in width was completed in 1763.
The decorative theme is based on the temples of the Roman Forum with more modern inventions: in the four massive, apse-like recesses are stoves disguised as pedestals for classical urns.[1] The paintings of ruins are by Gavin Hamilton and the grisaille panels have scenes of British worthies painted by John Biagio Rebecca.[6]
The four sets of double doors giving entry to the room have heavy pediments supported by scagliola columns, and at second-floor height, grisaille panels depict classical themes.
From the saloon, the atmosphere of the 18th-century Grand Tour is continued throughout the remainder of the principal reception rooms of the piano nobile, though on a slightly more modest scale.
State bedroom
The "principal apartment", or State bedroom suite, contains fine furniture and paintings.
The state bed was constructed by James Gravenor of Derby.[7] The state bed posts are carved to represent palm tree trunks which soar up and break into flamboyant foliage at the top, sweeping in palm-fronds behind.[8]
Drawing room
Settee by John Linnell in the Drawing Room dated from around 1765.
The drawing room with huge alabaster Venetian window is 44 feet (13 m) by 28 feet (8.5 m) by 28 feet (8.5 m). The doorcase is also alabaster. The fireplace with a scene of virtue rewarded by honour and riches is flanked by large female figures sculpted by Michael Henry Spang.[6] The gilt sofas by John Linnell date from around 1765.[9] They were commissioned by the 1st Baron Scarsdale and supplied, together with a second pair of sofas to Kedleston in 1765.
Dining room
The dining room
The dining room, with its gigantic apse, has a ceiling that Adam based on the Domus Augustana in the Farnese Gardens. The apse contains curved tables designed by Adam in 1762[6] and a giant wine cooler. The ceiling contains panel paintings of the continents by Antonio Zucchi, the seasons by Gavin Hamilton and the centre is by George Morland. The original wall panels are by Francesco Zuccarelli, Frans Snyders, Claude and Giovanni Francesco Romanelli.
Music Room
The Music Room has Ionic doorcases and delicate plaster ceiling designed by Adam. The marble chimneypiece is inlaid with Blue John. The pipe organ was second hand by John Snetzler with the case designed by Robert Adam and built by Robert Gravenor.[10] A second manual with Hautboy was added in 1824 by Alexander Buckingham.[11] The organ was restored in 1993 by Dominic Gwynn.
Library
The Library
The library contains a Roman doric doorcase leading to the Saloon. The bookcases were designed by Robert Adam[6] and built by James Gravenor of Derby.[12] The plaster ceiling is divided into octagonal patterns. The library desk was built in 1764 by James Gravenor. Wikipedia

Since Mattel is taking their time with the new Ever After High releases (I only collect the Signatures/Basics), then I guess this is the perfect time to catch up on my Barbie collection. Seriously, I haven't bought a Barbie in MONTHS!
1. Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse Barbie & Midge giftset – I've been wanting this set ever since last year. I just didn't have the right opportunity.
2. Barbie: Style Barbie doll – Oh the fur! Oh the leggings! Oh the everything! Want, want, want!

6. Divergent Four doll – Not a fan of Divergent, actually. But if it means I can get a Ken with good articulation then I'm all for it!
blustery day, you can really see the wind gusts on the water — and this was a brief moment of relative clarity, otherwise it's all weird brief rain showers on and off… and plenty of building wind
Here's a view of my studio, abode etc. It's way too small , but it will be a great place to get started, with smaller things. I sleep here most nights :))

Currently many architects, planners, and sociologists like Louis Wirth investigate the way people live in densely populated urban areas from many perspectives including a sociological perspective. To arrive to an adequate conception of 'urbanism as a mode of life' Wirth says it is necessary to stop 'identify[ing] urbanism with the physical entity of the city' , go 'beyond an arbitrary boundary line' and consider how 'technological developments in transportation and communication have enormously extended the urban mode of living beyond the confines of the city itself.'...

"Berwick Bridge, also known as the Old Bridge, spans the River Tweed in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, England. The current structure is a Grade I listed stone bridge built between 1611 and 1624.
Prior to the construction of the stone bridge, the crossing was served by a series of wooden bridges. which were variously destroyed by flooding and military action. James Burrell became Surveyor of Works of the town in 1604, making him responsible for maintenance of the bridge. He was previously also occupied on the fortifications around Berwick before James VI and I ascended the throne of England, rendering them redundant.
In 1608, ten piers of the wooden bridge were destroyed by ice, and Burrell wrote to Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, then Secretary of State, to recommend the construction of a stone bridge. Arrangements were made in May 1608 to collect funds, but only £3,300 had been collected by 1611, but the Captain of Berwick Sir William Bowyer was unsatisfied with this progress, and a proposal was made for a bridge with seven stone arches over the deepest part of the river and the rest built of wood. After further collapse of the old wooden bridge, a modified proposal, for an entirely stone bridge with 13 arches, and estimated to cost a further £8,462, was put to the Privy Council, and on 16 May 1611 the King ordered £8,000 to be put towards the bridge. Work started on the bridge on 19 June that year, and by September 170 men were employed on its construction. At some point it was decided to build it with 15 arches instead.
In 1618, a further £4,000 grant was given, but this money had been used by 1620 and the Privy Council placed the bridge project under the supervision of the Bishop of Durham Richard Neile before any more money was given. Neile contracted Burrell and the leading mason Lancelot Bramston to finish the bridge at a cost of £1,750, and installed John Johnson of Newcastle as supervisor. The bridge was completed by September 1621 except for the parapets and paving, but a flood in October 1621 swept away some masonry and the wooden centring. In light of the accident, a grant of £3,000 was made and work restarted the following March, and the bridge was opened to traffic in 1624, although minor work continued for the next decade.
The bridge became less important for road traffic as the main route moved westwards, first to the concrete Royal Tweed Bridge built in the 1920s, and then in the 1980s a bypass took the A1 road out of Berwick altogether.
It is a Grade I listed building and a scheduled monument.
Berwick-upon-Tweed (/ˌbɛrɪk-/; Scots: Sooth Berwick, Scottish Gaelic: Bearaig a Deas) is a town in the county of Northumberland. It is the northernmost town in England, at the mouth of the River Tweed on the east coast, 2 1⁄2 miles (4 kilometres) south of the Scottish border (the hamlet of Marshall Meadows is the actual northernmost settlement). Berwick is approximately 56 mi (90 km) east-south east of Edinburgh, 65 mi (105 km) north of Newcastle upon Tyne and 345 mi (555 km) north of London.
The 2011 United Kingdom census recorded Berwick's population as 12,043. A civil parish and town council were created in 2008 comprising the communities of Berwick, Spittal and Tweedmouth.
Berwick was founded as an Anglo-Saxon settlement during the time of the Kingdom of Northumbria, which was annexed by England in the 10th century. The area was for more than 400 years central to historic border wars between the Kingdoms of England and Scotland, and several times possession of Berwick changed hands between the two kingdoms. The last time it changed hands was when Richard of Gloucester retook it for England in 1482. To this day many Berwickers feel a close affinity to Scotland.
Berwick remains a traditional market town and also has some notable architectural features, in particular its medieval town walls, its Georgian Town Hall, its Elizabethan ramparts, and Britain's earliest barracks buildings, which Nicholas Hawksmoor built (1717–21) for the Board of Ordnance." - info from Wikipedia.

When I was in grade school my Mom took me on a Freedom March to the Statue of Liberty. It was a bit out of character for her and I was a bit confused but she said something like "these are nice people, relax" and we had good day.
When I saw donny and his henchmen clear the area in front of St. Johns with gas and rubbed bullets all I could thing of was Mom standing on the overlook at the Statue of Liberty chatting with the other moms doing something she thought was important and teaching her kid a lesson in real life.
(This image was not just my work. I started to put it together and found someone had beat me to it so I added my small tweak.)
currently downloading my pictures from my holiday but, of course, my laptop is being difficult. im happy to finally be home and ive planned some photo shoots with my instagram friend where we will hopefully be going to a corn field in our long white skirts. summer is almost over and it makes me want to cry. grade 11 is going to be a tough year, and ill miss being stress free. i dont know how well ill be able to juggle 4 ap classes and 2 jobs. ugh.

Here GWR Castle Class no 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe is seen hauling the Vintage Trains "Red Rose" from Tyseley to Blackburn.
The double chimney Castle was designed by Charles Collett and built in 1936. Originally named Barbury Castle, it was renamed in 1937. It was withdrawn in 1963 and is currently owned by Tyseley Locomotive Works.
Currently out of use with mechanical problems are Aberdeen 22310 and Insch 16111 both seen here parked up at Tullos,
This is my current December desktop displaying, well, snow and white colors on black to increase the effect of the snow. Where I live it hasn't snown (can I say that? :P) yet so this probably happened out of hope for a white Christmas :)
The whole thing is combined from Rainmeter's Enigma skin, the Omnimo skin as for some of the top bar text items though some of those come from Enigma as well (the GPU counter is Omnimo for example). The clock above the dock can be found at "Supercolossal" on Customize.org while the iTunes skin was something I found by Googling something like "iTunes player skin for Rainmeter" or likewise, sadly I don't remember where I got it :( The wallpaper came off WallpapersWide as do most of the pictures I usually use for my Pc, it just came up on the front page but is probably available under "Snow" or "Winter", just a guess ;)
Icons on the dock come from the "Eqclipse" pack (yes, there's a "q" in it for some reason...) found on Deviantart :)
Happy holidays ^_^
Due to a large amount of requests as to how I made this picture I have created a video walkthrough of how it was all set up which is now live on YouTube, I hope it'll answer all possible questions but should that not be the case then I'm more than ready to answer them through the comments here on Flickr or on the YouTube video. Thanks for all the positive feedback :)
The Grade II Listed Loughborough Central Station the current end of the line of the heritage Old Great Central Railway (GCR). In Loughborough, Leicestershire.
The origins of the old GCR may be traced back to the earliest days of railways in and around Manchester. What was to become identifiable as the Great Central Railway was the amalgamation in 1847 of the Sheffield, Ashton under Lyme & Manchester, the Sheffield & Lincolnshire Junction, the Great Grimsby & Sheffield Junction Railways, and the Grimsby Dock Company. The principal reason for existence was the movement of coal and other goods across the harsh Pennine moorland.
A bill was put before Parliament in 1891 for the line from Annesley through Nottingham, where the great Nottingham Victoria station was built with the Great Northern Railway, Leicester, Rugby and to an end on junction with the Metropolitan at Quainton Road. Construction of the line started in 1894 and was opened to coal traffic in 1898 and to passengers a year later.
The nationalisation of the railways in 1948 led to the Great Central metals becoming part of the Eastern Region of British Railways. In 1958 the ex-Great Central was re-allocated to the Midland Region of British Railways and so were sown the seeds of its decline as a main line to London.
Country stations such as those at Belgrave & Birstall, Rothley and Quorn & Woodhouse were closed in 1963. In 1966 the line closed as a though route to London and the line was severed just south of Rugby while the proud station at Nottingham Victoria was demolished. Until 1969, when the line was finally closed, a DMU service ran from Rugby to Nottingham Arkwright Street.
A group of enthusiasts was determined to keep the line alive for the running of main line engines. The Main Line Preservation Group was formed to begin the mammoth task of preservation and restoration. Fund raising was always a problem so in 1971 the Main Line Steam Trust was formed and registered as a charity to raise funds through covenants.
Since then, the volunteers and staff have re-instated a double track section from Loughborough Central to Rothley and opened a single track to Leicester North, just south of the old Belgrave & Birstall station (and built a new station there) and have restored stations, signals and signal boxes, carriages, wagons and steam and diesel locomotives.

KC Streetcar no. 805 is currently (no pun intended) wrapped up for the city's NWSL team, the Kansas City Current. By the start of the next season, the Current are going to be playing in their own stadium, which will be along a northern extension of the streetcar line, and it will be the first purpose-built women's soccer stadium in the world!
In this view, I'm looking north from 7th St. towards the City Market, and the 805 is rolling over I-70, which thoroughly decimated this part of the city when it was built. Thankfully, the city planners are working to mend the wounds of the past, and revitalize this once thriving part of the city.
I'm thinking I won't be keeping the 200-600. It just hasn't wow'ed me out of the gate like the 100-400GM did. I am also considering selling the Sigma 24-70 and the Sony 85mm 1.8 and getting the 50mm GM and going pretty much prime-only except for the Sigma 14-24 and the 100-400GM on the extreme ends. I rarely use the 24-70 anymore and the 85 is collecting dust since I got the 135 GM.

The current building, a Jerry O'Mahoney diner, for the Hunter Dinerant in Auburn was moved (great picture of the move here)to its current location in 1951. You can't see it from this angle but the diner sits on stilts above the Owasco River. The diner got its name from then owner Robert Hunter, who would go on to own several diners in Central New York.
Robert Hunter's daughter, Neilia, was a student at Syracuse University. In 1966 Neilia married a Syracuse University Law School student named Joe Biden.
The diner's current owners bought the place in 2011 and have given it much needed TLC. The diner was closed for eight months last year but was open and packed with people when I was in Auburn last month.
