My brother in law married a beautiful English girl and our families finally met. I just wish there was some way to tell who the americans are?

"It doesn't make a difference what temperature a room is, it's always room temperature." ~Steven Wright
The male Bear Andrena. Andrena obscuripennis. All bee species have males and females. Male bees are different from humans in that they are haploid not diploid (it would appear there are other differences, but those are not the interest at hand). Functionally that means that they are produced sans sexual reproduction and any female (bumble bee workers too!) can just pump out and egg and it will become a male (I presume this means that all that molecular material from said female is basically copied over to the male). While this is standard Hymenoptera dogma, what I can't seem to find out is why then do males often look so different from females? Often quite radically so. How does having only your Mom's chromosomes make you (the boy bee) look like a boy bee? Having these musings floating around makes me wonder if the world would be a better place if human males were haploid instead of diploid, did no real work to support a family, drank nectar all day, and whose sole purpose was to mate? Sadly, dear Techniterns, no one filled out the Bee Picture log so I can't tell who took this picture. ~~~~~~~~~~{{{{{{0}}}}}}~~~~~~~~~~

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.

My attempt at showing the color differences on our moon's surface. These subtle colors can be brought out easily with astronomy cameras and heavy saturation, but they cannot be seen with our naked eye due to the moon's extreme surface brightness.
The colors are controlled by variations in iron and titanium content. The most notable red to blue color change in the Mare regions is caused by titanium oxide.

You think you could all just get it easily this time
You think I'm dense enough to do it again
You should've known better
I'm not that girl anymore
I'm not that girl who would fall on your empty words
Even giving back my trust in you is impossible
So, don't expect for me this second time around
Cause I build a stronger wall just for you
Just a few more hours and I'm turning 20! Woot. Not that it would make any difference. Haha. But one thing's for sure, I'm not a teen anymore! ('teen' is out of the age already, so :P JK) No wait, I could still be.... 'twenteen', right?? XD Oh well, enough of that. Second week's concept is a B&W self (minimal). Not great but I like the way it turned out. And I added a little stars layer to make it more interesting. Anyway, so tomorrow maybe I'll post a birthday post (or pictures of what will happen). And I'm going to treat myself a Pro account here cause I love Flickr so much! Hopefully tomorrow or some time this week. :) Checking out your streams later!

Please orders prints and give it to me as a birthday gift :PPPPP I love you!! ♥
To those who wants a collaboration with me, feel free to Flickr mail me! And to those who already did, I'll come back to you later if I already thought of a nice concept for us. :)
PS: Rebecca! Thank you for that wonderful testimonial!! ♥
PLEASE COMMENT WHEN YOU FAVE. It’s really not that hard and i love hearing feedback. It’s not much, even if its just "nice" or something, but it really makes a difference. also, please try to be respectful to myself and others. thank you.
So I had a lot of fun with doing my top ten favorite villains list and sot I thought id do my top ten favorite TV shows. This is all opinion, so be aware before you get pissed. Also, I cheated a bit on one or two and combined them, but this is my damn list so fuck it. So, lets get started.
10-Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Star trek tng is a fascinating look at sci-fi and the space exploration genre in general. While I’m not crazy about the first few seasons, I love it near the end. It’s just so rich with atmosphere and has such a creative and full world that you really can feel it. It’s a very smart, very clever, and very well exsiccated show with lots of interesting things to say, and great writing to do so.
9-Firefly
What’s better then a joss whedon space western staring Nathan fillion? Will 8 things obviously but this show still seriously kicks ass. It has incredible writing that is masterfully performed by amazing actors. The only thing stopping this show from being higher on the list is its lack of seasons. Other then that, it’s a funny, action packed thrill ride from start to finish that I recommend to anyone looking for adventure and fun in space.
8-Justice League and Justice League Unlimited
So yeah, this is kind of a tie, but jlu is basically just a continuation of the original show, so I think its ok to group these two together. Anyways, justice league manages to really get how these larger then life heroes would interact. How they are still people, even though they have godlike powers, and how they manage to deal with the fears of the world, and of each other. Every character has there own voice and you always know how one would feel about something, even if they don’t say it. It’s a perfect comic book adaptation that every dc fan should watch
7-Young Justice
I toiled over weather to put this or justice league at this spot, but I had to go with young justice just for its unapologetic love for its source material and the amazing way it adapts the comics into a different medium (cough* arrow *cough). I love how they hit the ground running with its immediately recognizable comic book characters and anything goes mentality towards storytelling, yet still manages to have compelling character drama.
6-Monty Python and Fawlty Towers
Did I even need to say it? These two are some of the funniest shows ever made and what every comedy after them should strive towards. The reason I put them together is because towers feels like a python sketch that got extended into a full series without being dragged out or overdone. What else can I say? These two are legendary enough, and if you haven’t seen them, we need to have a little chat.
5-Futurama
A sci-fi comedy by the same guys behind the Simpson’s? Sign me up. I’ve always preferred futurama to the Simpson’s, mainly the sci-fi moments and more abstract elements add to the comedic feel of the whole show. It’s incredibly cleaver, and isn’t afraid to comment on society. All the characters are don so well with each being funny and deep at the same time. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants smart humor, with an edge to it.
4-South Park
I don’t think I like South Park for the reason most people like South Park. Its not for the raunchy-ness, or the “how far will they go” humor (although I do like both), no, what really gets me to love south park is how they can realistically (to a certain extent) take the point of view of a kid, and turn it into a zany, yet interesting critique on society, while still being having that child like viewpoint. It’s hysterical, fun, and crazy as hell.
3-Doctor who
Here I’m specifically talking about the rebooted series. The original series will always have a place in my heart, but the new series is just so much fun, and has so much character and is so well written. I love the sci-fi and I love how adventures it feels and l=how likable the main characters are. I love how recognizable the villains have become and how much it’s grown since its humble beginnings, and for good reason. If you haven’t watch dr who, go watch dr who.
2-Avatar, The Last Airbendeder
This is the best animated series of all time, period. It is so deep and has such good characters yet still manages to be light hearted and genuinely funny, but its also dark and serious. It’s so well balanced that it’s hard not to love it. It’s practically Shakespearian in character depth. The art is beautiful and perfectly matches the tone of the world around it. It’s an astounding work of art, and if you haven’t seen it, change that!
Now before I get to number, lets go through so me honorable mentions.
The Spectacular Spiderman: perfectly capturing the tone and atmosphere of the original 60’s comic while updating and adding to the things that needed it. Easily the best version of the character ever put to screen
Sherlock: a well-written, well acted mini series that’s a dark, yet fun spin on the source material
Batman Beyond: the perfect way to end the batman mythos in my opinion. It’s really original, and has great banter between terry and old Bruce.
Wolverine And The X-men: this show is not talked about enough. It takes its source material and really captures it perfectly. Great voice cast and great writing, a must watch for any x-men fan
Teen titans: a nostalgic character driven show with a fun art style and great character writing, but with enough dark elements to keep it from being to cutesy
Avengers, Earths Mightiest Heroes: like the avengers are the marvel version of the justice league, their respective cartoons do it similarly. It’s well written and is pretty stylized, but also draws from silver age marvel to get this great marvel show
Bob’s Burgers: great humor, mixed with great voice acting, mixed with enough crazy character drama to make this show funny as hell
Batman, TAS: amazing art style and fantastic writing, and easily the best voice cast the batman franchise has ever had, batman TAS is easily the best version of the dark knight yet.
And now for number one, drum role please

1-Arrow
How could I not put this show at number one? It’s a great adaptation of the original comic and has some of the best writing of any show in years. Its crowning achievement is it main character, who is a perfect adaptation of… of, BWAHAHAHAHA
Sorry, couldn’t say that with a strait face. Arrow is fucking terrible, but I'm addicted, so fuck me. DO NOT WATCH, unless your morbidly curios, anyways.
Now for my real number 1
1-Game of Thrones
This show is all about character, and considering I’m constantly mentioning it here, there’s a reason this show is number 1. There are now good guys, or bad guys, just characters, with different motivations, and conflicting ideals. Some are in power, some are not. In a way, there isn’t a plot. Only characters, and their actions, and its reproductions in this world. Speaking of, the world is rich and full of history, and 12 kinds of insane depth. I honestly know more about the world of GoT then I do real American history. #imahugefuckingnerd. If you plan on watch GoT, id read the first book or two before you do. If this show has a fault, it’s that it’s horrible at explaining what’s happening, and just throws you in assuming you already know what’s going on. It’s still an excellent series that I hope to continue for many years to come
And that’s my list. Hope you liked it. Tell me your faves, and please tell me about how arrow is the best show ever and how and how dare I talk about it like that. THANKS FOR READING!

What a difference a day makes: It's strange to think that just 24 hours previously, I, along with many, many others affected by Hurricane Irma, were huddled inside, listening to gusts of hurricane-strength wind, wondering if the roof would hold, if a tornado (caused by the hurricane) was coming for us, wondering when the power would go out, or maybe wondering if the storm would wake Lauren. (For the record, it didn't. We put her to bed late, but she slept through Irma.)
I suppose the combination of Hurricane Irma clearing the air (I think that's a thing, after-storm air being more clear) and millions of Floridians without power and therefore, less light, makes this Milky Way photo novel, as it was taken just minutes away from my house. This is as opposed to the 60+ minute drive I normally endure in search of dark skies.
I'd normally spend more time processing this image, but I'm simply too tired, to the point where I'm sleep-editing, literally, falling asleep at my computer screen. So, I'm posting as is.
