I just had to share this with everyone, the small picture next to me was taken a little over 2 years ago.
Yes it is me, and really shows how much I have changed in appearance since November 2007. Most of these changes have occurred on their own and according to my Doctors at both the VA in Palo Alto and Stanford Medical Center have said this may happen to 1 in 5 to 10 million people over the age of 50. Needles to say going 24/7 was of necessity .
An automatic, mechanical calculator first designed by Charles Babbage in 1822, and if completed would have been he first calculator/computer ever developed. The columns held the values of the polynomials, and the machine programmed by shifting the discs to the initial set of polynomial values, then cranking it up to determine each new set of values. As it was, after the costs of building the device skyrocketed, the British government removed financial support, ending the project. This device was the first one built in 1991 based on Babbage's designs, and despite a few minor errors works flawlessly.

Okay, so for people (all three of you still commenting/viewing photos), I'm getting really freaking annoyed with my wide angle lens. It has an arperture of 2.8. But it never has the DOF I'm used too. I thought this was because I shot with an f1.4 so often. But then I had my telephoto lens out. The DOF with that (at f4.5) is more shallow then my wide angle. And I don't understand it?
Any help, suggestions? It's been bugging me. I AM shooting at 2.8. At least that's what my camera and lightroom say I'm shooting at. But it doesn't look like I am. At least not comparing those two pictures above. Granted the first photo goes back further, but it is still blurrier than in the 2.8. And Bello is closer up so you would think that would make a difference?
I don't know. I'm annoyed.

Decided to take my tripod with me for my early morning walk to document the snow that has been falling for more than 24 hours.
Here you can see how tiny the doll on the left is compared to the one on the right. She also has younger looking features. That's because she's meant to represent a high school student (Gabriella from High School Musical), so she may be too youthful looking for Meraude. But I love her hair! Maybe she can end up being a Schola student, if I use the other one for Meraude? In either case, I'll find some way to use both ladies, because I like them both very much. They have different head sculpts from any of the other heads I've used so far.

La storia dei “Mercati” di Traiano inizia con la progettazione di alcuni interventi propedeutici alla costruzione dell’ultimo e più grandioso dei Fori Imperiali, il Foro di Traiano, probabilmente già avviati dall’imperatore Domiziano.
Le fonti antiche non offrono notizie sicure circa la committenza imperiale e la paternità progettuale; tantomeno esistono fonti certe per l’identificazione dei Mercati di Traiano, e la spiegazione più plausibile è che il grande complesso fosse considerato un’unica entità con il vicino Foro.
I bolli, unica fonte diretta, ne testimoniano un numero consistente di età domizianea. Finora si è ritenuto che essi possano essere l’esito di un notevole stoccaggio di materiale laterizio in quel periodo, visto l’impegno edificatorio programmato dall’imperatore. Invece i dati archeologici acquisiti con le indagini più recenti (2003-2007) sembrerebbe indicare che già sotto il regno di Domiziano siano state intraprese le opere propedeutiche alla costruzione di un imponente complesso architettonico quali muri di terrazzamento e fognature.
Allo stato attuale delle conoscenze, ben poco resta della tradizionale interpretazione in chiave commerciale. E’ stato fondamentale nel quadro delle scoperte archeologiche che hanno contribuito alla rilettura del complesso, il rinvenimento dell’iscrizione su di un architrave riutilizzato come soglia nell’area del Giardino delle Milizie, che ricorda un procurator fori traiani, tal Horatius Rogatus, che avrebbe fatto restaurare il Foro dopo un incendio nel III secolo d.C.
È evidente la diversificazione funzionale dei vari edifici che compongono i Mercati di Traiano, con la scelta di associare la parte inferiore ad attività direttamente in relazione con il Foro, mentre nella parte superiore era dedicata a quelle gestionali ed amministrative.

The history of the “Markets” of Trajan started with the planning of certain proprietary works during the construction of the last and greatest of all the imperial forums, that of Trajan. Even if we have clear accounts to classify the Markets of Trajan, ancient records do not offer steadfast evidence on the imperial financers and the conceptual origins of the project. The most plausible explanation is that the great complex was perhaps conceived as a sole unit along with the neighbouring forum.
It is highly likely that the complex had already been ordered by Emperor Domitian and taxation stamps, the only direct source available, show an index number consistent with the Domitian era. A theory further sustained by our knowledge of the ambitious building programme envisaged by this emperor. Another premise puts the selling off of a notable quantity of stockpiled bricks and building materials after the emperor’s murder as the main impetus for the construction of the complex. However, archaeological data gathered in recent studies (2003-2007) seem to indicate that preliminary works for an imposing architectural complex had already began under Domitian. Works included terracing walls and sewage piping.
Current knowledge leaves little to support the traditional interpretation of the structure as having a primarily commercial use. Recent archaeological discoveries have been fundamental in contributing to a rereading of the complex. Inscriptions on the structure’s main beams, which were reused as braces in the ground works for the Milizie Gardens, make testament to a procurator fori traiani, one Horatius Rogatus, who would have restored the forum after a fire in the 3rd century AD.
The functional differences of the various buildings that make up the Markets of Trajan are evident that the lower section had close association with activities administered by the adjacent forum with the upper section instead being dedicated to activities of a more managerial and administrative nature.

The Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour Comes to Philadelphia
An Inspirational Journey for an Inspirational Young Man
The power of one individual to make a difference cannot be measured in words, but in actions. John Ellis, a 17-year-old from Pensacola, Fla., was diagnosed with hepatitis B in 2006. Instead of being discouraged by this devastating medical diagnosis, John turned the news into an opportunity to raise awareness about hepatitis B. With a passion for cycling and a desire to help raise funds to find a cure for the disease, John contacted the Hepatitis B Foundation (www.hepb.org) with an idea to organize an East Coast cycling tour. Today, John’s idea has become a reality! The Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour, sponsored by the Hepatitis B Foundation, is a 1,100 mile journey which began on June 2 at John’s high school in Pensacola and ended in Philadelphia on June 23 – John’s 18th birthday!
A group of Hepatitis B Foundation researchers, staff, supporters, friends and family joined John and his riding companion and best friend, Jamaal Warren, for the last leg of their journey from Conshohocken to Kelly Drive in Philadelphia. John and Jamaal were welcomed at their Kelly Drive finish line by the Hepatitis B Foundation; Philadelphia’s Fralinger String Band Mummers; O’Liver, the Hepatitis B Foundation’s mascot; friends and family from Philadelphia and Pensacola and many more. ABC 6’s Health and Medical Reporter, Ali Gorman, served as the event emcee and Councilman Greenlee presented John with a citation from the city of Philadelphia. Dr. Timothy Block, Co-Founder of the Hepatitis B Foundation and Dr. Baruch Blumberg, Nobel laureate who discovered the hepatitis B virus also participated in the event program congratulating John for his extraordinary accomplishments.
About John Ellis and the Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour: John Ellis is an extraordinary young man. He was a healthy teenager, when the results of a routine blood test revealed that he had hepatitis B. This news came just two weeks before his 16th birthday and John recalls emotions of, “being incredibly scared because I didn’t know what having hepatitis B would mean for me.” His fear was further fueled by his doctor who told him that he would eventually need a liver transplant. John’s world was turned upside down. He was frightened and also confused as to how he could have contracted this potentially fatal disease; he had received the hepatitis B vaccine in middle school.
John turned to the Hepatitis B Foundation to learn more about his disease. The Foundation is the only national nonprofit organization solely dedicated to finding a cure and improving the quality of life for those affected with hepatitis B worldwide. Hepatitis B is the most common serious liver infection in the world. It is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) that attacks liver cells and can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer. The virus is transmitted through infected blood. In the U.S., 1 out of 20 persons (or 12 million Americans) have been infected with HBV.
Armed with information about hepatitis B and with a conviction to improve his health, John gave up a junk food diet and began exercising. He purchased a $50 bike from a local bike store and started riding it everywhere – to school, to work and just for fun. “I knew I wanted to ride for a cause. People need to become more aware about hepatitis B and how it affects us,” said John. John has shown us courage in the truest sense of the word. He is approaching his chronic hepatitis B diagnosis with a positive attitude and embarking on this cycling tour to prove to himself that he can overcome obstacles placed in his path. Knowing that there is no cure for hepatitis B does not dampen his spirits. “If I believe in my heart that things will work out for the best, then who’s to say I’m not cured,” said John.
