On the left - my size 5 feet. On the right, my niece Ella's feet - she's 14, I'm 30. Her feet are much biggerer than mine :P
It’s been a long time coming but we were recently commissioned to do our first big wall in about 18 months for a company which invests in new drugs. I have to say that it felt good to be out and about and painting again for a client.
We’ve spent too long left with our own ideas so it was nice to have a brief - which only really asked for one thing, which was to include some reference to the drugs they had invested in. Given that some of the logos were quite cool anyway that seemed the obvious way to go. As always the hardest part is coming up with a design but once that is out of the way and signed off though it's on to the fun part; throwing some paint at a wall.
Cheers

This is a photoshopped version of my gazania picture. So is this.
1. Duplicate the background layer
2. Invert color on the background layer. (depending on the image, you may want to skip this step or make some other type of color change)
3. Set the blending option in the layers tab to 'difference'. The image will turn black if you skipped step 2.
4. Choose the other layer.
5. Under the filter menu, choose 'Gaussian Blur' and make sure the 'preview' checkbox in the adjustment dialog is checked.
6. Play around with changing the amount of blur until you get an effect you like. A radius of something like 50 or 80 is probably good.
For still more fun, try out the different blending options.
Discussed at Techniques.
Sunrise over Diamond Head Honolulu, HI) last December. Look at this one large please, it makes a difference.
May I give an example which huge difference the ink can make.
Currently I´ve tinkering arround with an FPR Himalaya.
This pen was an extremly wet pen per default (which is a good thing for a pen with a (somehow) flexible nib.
I´ve EMF modded the nib and the big amount of extra flex made this pen a real gusher (even I´ve heat set the feed).
It now lays down seas of ink (and it do not have railroading problems even without modifying the feed, which is normally necessary if you add more flex to a nib).
The picture illustrates the differences the ink can make.
All writing is done with the same pen, an FPR Himalaya with an EMF modded FPR flex nb.
Paper is good quality Clairefontaine.
Above Sheaffer Skrip Purple:
Massive bleeding and feathering.
Middle:
Back side of the paper, massive show through and bleed through.
Bottom:
Pelikan 4001 Blue-Black, no feathering, no bleeding, no show through no bleed through, and believe me, you see nothing on the other side of the paper (otherwise I would have made a picture)
The edges of the ink are sharp and clearly defined, simply a top notch result.
Yes a dry ink can reduce the flow of the ink and normally also this will make a huge difference.
But in this case even this make no real difference other attributes of the ink show up here as well clearly.
Also with the Pelikan ink the pen lays down seas of ink, it is still a gusher, but the result is a completely different.
Here the overall quality of an ink shows up clearly.
Many inks work well on "normal" conditions (more or less), but these conditions are normally no challange for the quality of a ink.
The difference will show up when you lay down seas of ink, will it bleed, feather, show and bleed through the paper?
These conditions separates the top notch inks from the common average inks (every newby ink designer can throw on the market) and will make an incredible difference.
CAU (pronounced 'cow' - can you guess why?) stands for 'Carne Argentina Unica' - and they're all about the delicious grassed Argentinian beef. Apparently the Argentinians have two centuries of experience breeding Aberdeen Angus cows on the fertile Pampas (which means high quality, Buenos Aires style cow at reasonable prices) (at least when compared to other steakhouses)). Someone told me (and this may be wrong) that the Argentinians consume more beef per person than any other country (even 'murica!)
Anyhow, the first CAU opened in 2012 - and the one you see before you (St. Katherine's Dock) is the 10th restaurant so far, arriving in April 2015. CAU are expanding pretty quickly and can be found all over the UK at this point (Liverpool, Cambridge, Tunbridge Wells, etc.). There's even one in Amsterdam (ever eaten half a kilo of ribeye steak whilst stoned off of your face? Now you can!)
St Katherine's dock is the first central London location, with quayside views, walls decorated with freshly cut grass and blue skies, 160 covers and enough meat to provoke an international incident with PETA. Our time there was an excellent one - the wait staff wear shirts that say 'CAUGIRL/COWBOY' (depending on which gender they have decided to spend this incarnation as obviously). Of particular note was a beautifully done (blue) 500g 'Lomito' steak - which is essentially just a huge rump steak - South American style, described by the menu as 'the finest cut in Argentina'.
Also an extremely expansive selection of Malbecs (including a fortified 'port style' Malbec which is legendary). And not to forget 'dulce de lece pancakes' which are possibly one the most unhealthy things you will ever eat, but every single bite will be worth it. Every. Single. Bite. *zones out* It may also be interesting to know that CAU are the sister chain to Gaucho. Having never eaten at Gaucho, I can't tell you what the differences are exactly, but I can tell you that CAU's a very good place to go and get a steak. Probably the best 'high street' style steakhouse I have seen yet. Well done, CAU (*insert joke about 'raising the stakes' here)
These are among the scarf collection that I own. The odd one out of these? One of them is not worn on the head. Hehe... Yeah, the one with the ManU logo on it.
Dedicated to all Manchester United fans out there (especially to Erizam Wong, who till this day refuse to believe I am a ManU fan.. Here you go, proof, a scarf I bought at Old Trafford... Sekarang percaya?? =P)
Kindda dissapointed they lost to Beşiktaş JK though. And that they are 2nd in the standings in the Premier League. But hey holding true to the words of Queen: "We are the champions my friend, And we'll keep on fighting till the end..."
So, no fret, I think ManU would do well. Cause yup, We Are The Champions! =)
P.S: Still busy preparing for my winter exams. Aaaaahhh...!! Can't wait to get it over and done with. Pray for me and wish me luck! =S
Location: My room, Cork, Ireland. Haha...
Another photo of the same appliance with the turn out gear on the L. Best thing about this brigade was the lack of infighting (there was some) but from what i heard a less than others AND most of the 'Vols' were actually professional.. noice
A gingerbread house is only as good as it’s glue!
And that is why I have been on the search for the absolutely best gingerbread house glue recipe ever.
We’ve all been there…graham crackers ready, icing ready, kids ready. They start to assemble their creative masterpieces, and then….
Disaster.
A collapse of epic proportions. All that hard work down the drain!
This often results in meld-down central.
Gingerbread House Glue
The best way to avoid Gingerbread-Sadness is to start with a strong, quick drying icing. Kids don,t want to wait, and frankly, you don’t want to sit there and hold each piece for five minutes either!
Our Cub Scout boys made Gingerbread Houses this week and I was excited to find a glue that worked perfectly…it’s simple but made ALL the difference in the world.
Super-Duper Strong Gingerbread House Icing Glue Recipe
3 Tablespoons meringue powder (available wherever cake decorating supplies are sold)
1lb powdered sugar (about 3 3/4 cups)
4-6 Tablespoons cold water
In a glass bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add 2T water. Mix well. Add more water as necessary to reach a very thick consistency. When you drag a knife through it, you want to see a clean path left.
If it’s too thick, add a tiny amount of water, mix, and pull your knife through again.
If it’s too runny, add more sugar.
Put icing into a zip-seal baggie & cut off a corner. I found a slightly large hole worked best (my icing came out about as thick as a squirt of toothpaste).
The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is a medium-sized, solidly built, short haired dog whose early ancestors came from England and Ireland. It is a member of the Molosser breed group. The American Staffordshire Terrier and The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) by breed are from the same lineage; Staffordshire’s was the name given by AKC, and American Pit Bull Terriers by UKC. The real difference between the two breeds is 6–8" in height and 25–35 lb in weight; the American Staffordshire Terrier being the larger of the two.
The dog was bred first to bait bulls and bears. When bear-baiting and bull-baiting were deemed inhumane, rat-baiting and dog fighting became more popular. The APBT Breed was used in both sports, and its prevalence in being put in pits with rats, or other dogs led to "pit" being added to its name.
The American Pit Bull is medium-sized, and has a short coat and smooth well-defined muscle structure. Its eyes are round to almond shaped, and its ears are small to medium in length and can be natural or cropped. The tail is slightly thick and tapers to a point. The coat is glossy, smooth, short, and stiff to the touch. The accepted coat color can vary widely, but, both the AKC and UKC do not recognize merle coloring.
Twelve countries in Europe, as well as Australia, Canada, Ecuador, Malaysia, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Singapore, and Venezuela have enacted some form of breed-specific legislation on pit bull-type dogs, including American Pit Bull Terriers, ranging from outright bans to restrictions and conditions on ownership. The state of New South Wales in Australia places restrictions on the breed, including mandatory sterilization. A few counties, and cities in the United States as well as the Province of Ontario in Canada, have outright banned ownership of the American Pit Bull terrier, and the breed is banned in the UK.

Soldiers of the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) performed for and greeted campers from the International Association of Firefighters International Burn Camp on Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, Virginia, October 10, 2018. Held annually in Washington D.C., the camp is a life-changing opportunity for burn survivors ages 13-15 and the fire fighters/camp counselors who work to make a difference in the lives of these young people. The week-long camp helps burn survivors understand that they are not alone and that their is a larger support system for them. (U.S. Army photos by Spc. Gabriel Silva)
This was the same run as the previous week where I was joined by my good running friend Ells Bells, the only difference being a little extension where we got lost.
I was using this run as training for my pending Maidenhead half marathon challenge which I'm running to raise funds for Hearts & Souls (local cardiac rehab charity) during these difficult COVID-19 lock-down period.

Because of the color difference the much larger darker bird appears closer in size in these photos. It is larger than the familiar common wild pigeons and unlike them, all members of the species wear the same suit.
This is a photograph from the 13th annual running of the Tom Brennan Memorial 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held on Furze Road, Phoenix Park, Chapelizod, Dublin, Ireland on New Year's Day Monday 1st January 2018 at 12:00. The race route is a two loop course which starts and finishes on the Furze Road in the middle of the Phoenix Park. Participants follow a clockwise, right-handed, looped route around Furze Road, Ordnance Survey and Chesterfield Avenue. The loop course is also another difference of this race from traditional 5KM road racing. The weather on New Year's Day in the Phoenix Park is always unpredictable and today was no different. A particularly strong headwind into the faces of participants along Furze road (between 2KM and 3KM) made this particular section tough going for everyone. There was also a particularly cold icy feel in the air. However several hundred runners, joggers and walkers shook off the effects of Christmas celebrations to take part. The route itself is flat without any noticeable undulations. This year's race had one of the biggest field of participants in its long and well established history.
The race is organised and promoted by the local athletics club Liffey Valley Athletic Club who are based in Islandbridge, Dublin 8 and have a catchment area around this part of Dublin city. The race itself commemorates the memory and contribution of former club member Tom Brennan who won the National Cross Country Championships in 1975 in UCD Belfield at the age of 24 years. A special commemorative perpetual trophy is presented to the winner of the race every year. The race is also of particular interest to those runners, joggers and walkers who are not necessarily involved in the competitive side of road racing. Annually the race is the first of a series of races in Dublin city which make up the Lord Mayor’s 5 Alive Challenge. This initiative by Dublin City Council is now in its sixth year and several hundred runners, joggers and walkers volunteer to take part in five of Dublin’s most popular road races. Dublin City Council makes an open call for people to register to be a part of the programme in autumn every year. The Liffey Valley Club and many other volunteers work hard to make this a very successful event. Undertaking a road race event in any location is a challenging task. However the Phoenix Park presents a unique challenge in terms of traffic flow around this part of Dublin and general logistics. Despite this these efforst by the host club are greatly appreciated as is evident by the turn out every year. It provides a splendid opening of the New Year for runners of all abilities. It is also a fitting 'official' start to the new calendar year of road racing in the Dublin and North Leinster region.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

Family : Ericaceae
Labelled as Rhododendron lochiae and growing in Hunter Region Botanic Gardens. I have to see this in flower at some stage to confirm this ID.
The most obvious difference between the two Australian Rhododendron species is the shape of the corolla tube of the flower - curved in R.lochiae and straight in R.viriosum. The curved form, R. lochiae is from Mount Bellenden Kerr,south of Cairns, while the straight tubed form, R. viriosum is from north and north west of Cairns.
Both species are easily cultivated from cuttings and seed.
NAMES OF THE AUSTRALIAN VIREYA SPECIES
Two unique species of vireya rhododendrons have been recognised as being native to Australia. Their natural habitat is confined to a relatively small region of tropical rainforest in North Queensland.
Until recent years it was held that there was only one Australian species, this being known as Rhododendron lochiae. Investigation of the taxonomy resulted in the recognition that there were, in fact, two separate species one of which is the plant long familiar to Australian vireya growers and the other a little-known plant from a restricted area in north Queensland, i.e. R. lochiae and R. notiale (Craven & Withers 1996). As the specimen to which the name R. lochiae was attached represented the relatively unknown plant, Craven attempted to have the name R. lochiae conserved with a new type specimen so that stability would be maintained in nomenclature. This was not accepted by the relevant Committee of the International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS) with the result being that a new species, R. viriosum, was described for the species which we used to call R. lochiae (Craven 2002).
The correct name for species first described in 1887as R. lochiae (and recently as R notiale) is now R. lochiae. R. notiale is now a synonym of this name.
The floral emblem of the Australian Rhododendron Society represents the new species, i.e. R. viriosum. The epithet 'viriosum' means robust, strong and refers to the qualities of the plant when used as a parent in hybridising.
