A tag with a difference, you don't need to be all deep and meaningful, or personal at all...but you can be if you want to. Just keep it clean, purlease, and write a list of words that rock your world!
Choose as many or as few of your fave words, 1 or 20 or however many, and say why you like them. One of my fave things is keeping words alive.
Here goes mine, my list shall grow as I remember my faves! these are my words, but this is not my pic!
PLEASE DO POST YOURS< NOT JUST SNEAK A PEEK OF MINE AND GO ON YOUR MERRY WAY!!!
1. KNICK-KNACKERY
knick-knacks is what my home is stuffed full of. Love 'em all!
2. EPHEMERA -my ephemeral knick-knackery is out.of.control.....
3. DIAPHANOUS
SERENDIPITY. I believe in it. There was a shop called this in Notting Hill when I was little, for ages. Had the sweetest mix of finds and things and my Dad would always let me browse on the way to the library. The 1st 'big' word I learnt and I used to practise and practise to learn how to say it, under my breath! if I ever open a shop or business, THIS is what I shall call it!
SOLILOQUY. Just because it sounds beautiful.
MAMA. When spoken by my children to me especially.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Best heard from a 4 year old trying to learn it.
EDELWEISS. because it means home, heart, music to my very soul.
BLUEBELL. Because edelweiss reminded me of my joint favourite flower. Because they mean summer holisayds in switzeralnd, picking wild clochettes dans les Alpes......
FREESIA. Ok, tied three times fave flowers! This is a word and smell combo, if a word could be fragranced, this one I would love the most! The flowers I always bought my Mum with my pocket money for mother's day to put in her vase on the piano.
dostoprimechatyelnosti. phonetic Russian word for 'touristical sites' and for a long time, the single longest hard to say word our teacher taught us. Memories of visiting Russia at 15, learning Russian in a broom cupboard for a classroom as they never expected 8 people would want to learn it, a whiteboard the size of a sheet of A4. The longest word until we learnt 'obsyheabrazavatyelnaya', which is one syllable longer.
MODULAR. actually, the word is ugly for something essential: stuff that changes, morphs, shapeshifts. OK, I change that, instead of modular I say go the word MORPH. For the Plasticine blob who made me laugh as a child, and for the fact life should ever be thus: changing, morphing, shifting.
bumblesweet, that addition was inspired by you: you see, the list can start with one word and continually do the switcheroo! The list can morph and should!
Mapped out the mansion again.
I decided to go with the brickbase since I realized that that really was the easiest and most accurate way to do it. I also fixed a problem with the layout that I only noticed in this version (See if you can spot the difference).
Began mapping out the first floor rooms today as well, will upload a pic sometime tomorrow.
Last but not least, we have the Mikey/Foot Soldier 1 two pack. Why is he Foot Soldier 1? I have no clue.. the only difference I can tell between Foot Solider 1 here and 2 that comes with Raphael is that he comes with an extra gun.
Michaealangelo is the fun loving Turtle, and as a coincidence his included accessories sort of reflect that. Mikey has his Nunchucks, of course, as well as an open communicator, transforming rope and grappel, an extra set of hands that seem to actually be meant for use with this grappel accessory, and a Nunchuck spinning effect. Why they gave Raph the pizza slice and not Mikey? Again, who knows, though I suspect it would make you buy Raph if you insisted on having said pizza for Mikey to hold. Marketing.. what can you do. Articulation, QC, paintwork, build, and so on, again, identical to that of the other Turtles. This is why I say that when you buy each of the packs, what you're really buying is a villain with a Turtle, rather than the other way around.. at least from an engineering and design perspective. I'm also guessing that Mikey and Raph are probably two of the more popular Turtles, and can probably pull the weight of having Foot Soldier here as a partner.
Foot Soldier is, well, Foot Soldier. Meant as relatively non descript robotic fodder for the Turtles to beat the crap out of, he's fairly generic looking. Lanky, kind of dressed like a ninja, and has that trademark dislocated neck that gives him the appearance of a slightly younger Professor Farnsworth from Futurama. Accessories include a pair of open fists and a pair of open palms, along with one of the Foot Soldier's traditional weapons, a laser rifle. Definitely been on the wrong end of these things many a time while playing the arcade game. Articulation is identical to that of Shredder, but less restricted due to the fact its skirt is nowhere as rigid as the dual layered piece that Shredder has to deal with, and his head is designed such that it sits on a proper ball joint, allowing for greater range of motion for the head. Of course, he doesn't look nearly as cool as Shredder does, so.. you win some, you lose some. Otherwise, the good paint work, cel shading, QC, and build seen thus far continues. As an added bonus, the paint on the hands of my Foot Soldier do not seem to have an indication of overspray.
With that, the Turtle 2 packs have all been opened, and analyzed. For their price, they're pretty good, as they'd be in competition with the likes of Marvel Legends and other action figures priced in and around the $20 - $25 USD price points, and feature better looking joints than most of the major players out there in your traditional big box stores. Of the releases, Shredder is by far the best, with the Turtles as a whole being second, and Foot Soldier third. Krang is Krang.. he's a beast in and of his own, and really can't be compared to anything else.
I hope you've enjoyed these blurbs about the sets. While I'm done reviewing the sets, I'm not quite done with the figures yet. You see, there's been a lot of trash talk about some products being superior and what not, and I just happen to have a few things lying around that will allow for a ground level investigation of this matter. But for now..
COWABUNGA!
...still busy ... but I can't help but post this snapshot I've taken today. Two newspapers -- same date -- different content? Never saw it before...
I wonder what's the reason behind two revisions... and why revise it after several copies are already printed and in circulation...
Last week, I received the Nendoroid Doll Height Adjustment set and I decided to take some comparison photos. The blonde Alice has the normal/standard Nendoroid Doll body. The brunette Alice has the height adjustment arms and legs.
The new legs add about 1 cm in height to an existing Nendoroid Doll. This is very noticeable. IMO it creates a lot of fun options like having a taller boy/girlfriend or a big sister/brother for your Nendoroid Dolls.
The difference between the new arms and regular arms is barely noticeable. As you can see in the comparison photos, the length difference is very small. If I had to guess, I think that it’s 0.5 cm.
So are they worth buying? Well, that depends on what you want to use them for. I bought these because I want to add some height between a Nendoroid Doll of Loid and Yor Forger compared to a regular Nendoroid Anya. I think that it will be well suited for that, given the difference between a regular Nendoroid and the Nendoroid Doll with heigh adjustments.
The difference between winter and rainy season is that you don't have to dig rain. Then again, you also don't have to pump snow out of your basement, but that's another story.

I think this one is a bit better of the previous picture, despite they are very similar, that's why I've decided to upload it.
Credo che questa foto sia leggermente migliore della precedente, per questo ho deciso di caricarla, nonostante siano molto simili.

Spent Easter at my Dad's in Eastern PA, right in the heart of Amish country. I was really hoping to find the perfect shot with a buggy far enough in the distance and situated in the right orientation to be able to take a picture without offending the passengers. That didn't happen. However, as we headed out of town, I noticed an Amish carriage pulling up in line behind us at a traffic light. I figured this would be a unique shot, and also would protect the privacy of those in the buggy.

Differences between alligators and crocodiles
"While alligators (and caimans) are often confused with crocodiles, they belong to two quite separate taxonomic families.
The most obvious external differences are visible in the head—alligators and caimans have wider and shorter heads, and a more U-shaped than V-shaped snout. The alligator's upper jaw is wider than its lower jaw, and the teeth in the lower jaw fit into small depressions in the upper jaw. The upper and lower jaws of the crocodiles are the same width, and teeth in the lower jaw fall along the edge or outside the upper jaw when the mouth is closed. When the crocodile's mouth is closed, the large fourth tooth in the lower jaw fits into a constriction in the upper jaw. For hard-to-distinguish specimens, the protruding tooth is the most reliable feature to define a species.[13] However, in captivity, alligators and caimans may show jaw deformities which result in lower teeth protruding.
Alligators lack the jagged fringe which appears on the hind legs and feet of the crocodile and have the toes of the hind feet webbed, not more than halfway to the tips. Alligators strongly prefer freshwater, while crocodiles can better tolerate seawater due to specialized glands for filtering out salt. However, both taxa can survive in either.
Both species of alligator also tend to be darker in color than crocodiles—often nearly black—but color is very dependent on water quality. Algae-laden waters produce greener skin, while tannic acid from overhanging trees can produce often darker skin.
When cleaning alligator pools, some zookeepers can tread on alligators without eliciting a response, though crocodiles almost invariably react aggressively and are for the most part more aggressive in their natural habitat." wikipedia

Sequoia vs. Redwood trees. What's the difference?
The tallest species of tree on earth, the Redwoods of the western California coast often go well above 300' tall, with the largest being about 380'. Sequoia trees top out about 100' below that - but make up for it in volume. The are enormous at their bases. So Redwoods are the largest trees on earth by height, but Sequoias are the largest trees on earth by volume.
There are two incredible specimens of Sequoia in Sequoia and King's Canyon National Parks. The largest Sequoia - nicknamed the General Sherman, reaches about 275' in height and has a circumference, at it's base, of 103'. This tree, the General Grant, is shorter by about six feet, with a similar circumference.
From ground level they look about the same, so we went with the Grant photographically. President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the Grant as the "Nation's Christmas Tree" in 1926. Then, in 1956, President Eisenhower declared the tree a "National Shrine", a memorial to those who died in war. It is the only living object to be so declared.
Now consider yourself a small expert on big trees.
Peace Corps Volunteers ready to make a difference
Thirteen new United States Peace Corps Volunteers were sworn in on Tuesday, December 18, as a final step before moving into villages for their two year assignments. The volunteers just completed an intensive 10-week Pre-Service Training Tuesday and have begun transferring to their individual villages scattered throughout Upolu and Savaii.
Their primary focus is to improve primary school students’ English literacy. In addition, several volunteers are going to villages that were severely affected by Cyclone Evan and will have the unique opportunity to help repair and rebuild the schools they will be working in, as well as help the affected communities in additional ways.
In light of recent events, the volunteers were sworn in by U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Chad Berbert in a private ceremony at the U.S. Embassy Office in Matafele. The following day the volunteers and staff from the U.S. Embassy joined hands with Samoa Victim Support Group to help clean out the SVSG office at the old police building.
“It was quite the task as mud had accumulated up to a foot high in some places due to Cyclone Evan,” Mr. Berbert said. “SVSG is doing great things for people in this country, including aiding people who are suffering because of Cyclone Evan. I’m very happy we could play a small part in helping to return the favor and assist them in recovering from the storm.”
The new Volunteers are eager to start their two year assignments, which will keep them in Samoa until December 2014.
What a difference a little open canopy makes to a stream shot. I decided to leave off the polarizer to add some more jagged texture to the water itself; a contrast to the brand new snowfall smoothing out the landscape. This is Ripley creek again.

just for fun, I cleaned off a bit of the lane divider - a
surprisingly challenging task. I expected to do the whole pool, but
the dark color was a surprisingly hardy crust that didn't succumb to
a brush but if you rub it hard enough it will crumble.

concerning the impossibly isolated
alter-universe
{r(gv)}
(graphic)
in part 11 we comprehended that inasmuch as we extend as nothing but our differential gravitation with alterity, then at the beginning of our proper time (at the moment of realization), our gravity is infinite - our red self is constituted wholly as our green-violet alterity.

let us re-emphasise that we are talking only of our understanding of things in our proper time and space, and that for our pure singleness of difference there is no time and space. (but having said that, it is only as our comprehending of our own pure singleness that things exist.)
let us also re-assert that although for a thingly, phenomenal self ‘in space’, time does seem to pass as accumulating moments of difference, the moments being accumulated are those already accumulated by the thingly, phenomenal others - always in part as the self already was.
therefore by reason of symmetry, the momentary articulation of a thing’s proper time into it’s future is thus cancelled by an equal and opposite articulation into it’s past. for the absolute symmetry of singleness, the currency is not spatio-temporality, but rather sheer difference as such.
let us now go on to describe the first fifteen moments of phenomenal proportionality of {r(gv)}. this will then lead us on to a consideration of the gravity of our thing {r(gv)}. (note that at moment zero - just before the infinite gravity of moment one - the value is zero. we take this to indicate the zero gravity of pure singleness).

Jana took this photo, she couldn't leave without taking a picture. It was the first such toilet like it we encountered, at a station on the way to Ravenna, but I saw many more the rest of the trip. Luckily I never had to do #2 in a bathroom with only this option, though it would have been interesting.
