Today. Today marks the start of a new sub-series of project 365 that I am entitling "The Difference". This sub-series will contain pictures from the Lawrence University campus that were taken this past weekend. I visited the campus on assignment after some fellow Lawrentians discovered a few of my other Lawrence University shots.
I arrived in Appleton early Saturday afternoon, granted this time of day is not the best for light, the clouds were looking very nice. Upon arrival, I met with Sheree, Lawrence's director of communications, and the woman behind The Lawrence University Facebook Page. Sheree and I discussed everything Lawrence, and was hoping that I would be able to capture some of the stories behind Lawrence University and its campus via photograph. I have never been this photographically motivated! I was, after all, seeking to capture the "Lawrence Difference" through a means in which it has never before been captured - high dynamic range photography. For those of you that did not attend Lawrence, the "Lawrence Difference" is a tagline used very often on campus. Former Larry U president Richard Warch tries explaining it here. I worn you that I have not read his entire piece. I am still stuck in the first paragraph trying to figure out what "matriculation" means in this sentence (I don't see how women having their periods has anything to do with the University.) The "Lawrence Difference" to me is the reason I came here instead of the state school that all of my friends went to. So, for the next 14 days or so, I will bring you a new photo of Lawrence, and I hope to tell you a new story through each photo that I post. Enjoy!

Photos from Firefly 2013 in Bethel VT. This festival is home to many of the most creative, organized, fun, and community centered artistic individuals I know. Always a highlight of my summer, the smiles and laughter are never-ending. Focused on each attendee being a contributor, there is no difference between "Performer" and "attendee" as every individual at this event does their small part to make the entire gathering tick. Thank you FIREFLY and all of you BEAUTIFUL humans for bringing positive energy and community living back into the forefront of our collective minds.
There truly is "No place like hOMe". ♥

Firefly Arts Collective is a non-profit organization that facilitates the annual New England regional burner festival 'Firefly'. Firefly is a regional event inspired by the annual Burning Man festival in Nevada. Firefly is held in Vermont typically during July 4 weekend. Most of the organizers and participants come from the Boston metropolitan area and surrounding states including, but not limited to, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. Firefly is a camping event that celebrates art for art's sake and espouses a gift economy where no vending, sales or barter are permitted. Visual and performance artists from all over the New England region and the East Coast create a temporary community for the weekend. Participants share a wide range of talents from sculpting, painting, music, theatre, and DJing, to alternative forms of expression such as games, performance art, and circus talents such as aerial silks, juggling, and fire spinning. The event adheres to the ten principles of the Burning Man event in Nevada. Among these are the Leave No Trace philosophy, an environmental policy whereby participants are obligated to remove every piece of refuse that they generate while at the event, taking it with them when they leave. The themes of radical self-expression and radical self-reliance are also borrowed from Burning Man. Firefly Effigy - July 2008 In addition, the event is considered a "no spectators" event, meaning that all attendees are expected to actively participate in its creation, staffing, and general philosophy. According to the event's official website Firefly is, "A celebration of self-expression and community! Firefly is a participatory arts and music gathering in the woods of Vermont." The event is organized and run completely by volunteers. On the last night of Firefly a giant wooden Firefly is burned. In 2006 the Firefly included fireworks launched from its top.
I haven't been writing as much here in this little description area, I know. I've been trying to blog more. I hope you have been joining me there. But I'd like to give you a few words with this photo.
A few months ago, I took a picture in the same spot as the photo above. I mean, I've taken a lot of photos in this same spot, but there's one in particular. If you look in my self-portrait set, you'll find it. It's one of the most honest and raw photos i've ever taken. Not just of myself, but of anyone. I'm proud of it but it's hard for me to look at, because I can see exactly what I wanted to capture: the way I felt. It was, as I later wrote, pouring out my eyes.
You may notice a different look in the shot here. You may know what it is. You may guess. You may not care. Any of those are fine with me.
I will just say this: Life brings a lot of bad sometimes. Not because we deserve it. We can hope for good all we want, for the bad to be gone. That won't change things. All we can do is work through the bad, wait it out, do the best we can.
And sometimes life brings good. Not because we deserve it. We can wish for more of it, but why? Instead, we should grab a hold of what we get and celebrate the hell out of it.
These days, I'm celebrating. What a difference a few months can make. You have no idea.
Just goes to show, one person or petal can make a difference! Seen at St. Matthew's Church in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada. (10-09-22-5264)
Het verschil tussen arm en rijk is groot aan de Bulgaarse kust, al valt het op deze foto nog enigszins mee. De huizen daarachter zijn nog niet helemaal af, maar er wonen al wel mensen in. Er staat nog een Audi S8 geparkeerd (die waren in de uitverkoop geloof ik) en daarvoor liggen de mensen te zonnen aan het zwembad.

A.I. du Pont Middle School – Walk in the Kings Footsteps
Education
Nominator: Michele Fidance
When posed with the question “What will I do to walk in the footsteps of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.?” the student body of A.I. du Pont Middle School in Wilmington decided to answer the question literally. A small group of students, led by Jobs for Delaware Graduates (JDG) instructors, were given the project of researching the speeches of Dr. King in order to choose quotes that meant something to them. The students then inscribed their selected quote on a cut-out of a footprint, which was then affixed to the wall in the cafeteria as a means to inspire their fellow students. Once students beyond the JDG classes saw the footprints, they wanted to participate as well. The project helped to raise awareness among students of Dr. King’s life, teaching and legacy, and how it translates into community action and service.

I am getting quite tired of seeing people texture their weapons with external programs such as Photoshop and Gimp, and just overlaying a simple texture over their weapon.
There's so many things that are wrong with that, and it's just sad.
I've textured over my weapon with a simple wood texture, and on the left, I put about 30 minutes into just erasing things, and that's it. On the right, I put about 30 seconds into it just by repeating the texture across my weapon. People, if you are going to texture your weapon, borrow someone else's texture or put some time into it.
tl;dr: Bolts should't have textures.
Edited in Photoshop for the shitty texturing.
So, for those of you making Nappy clothing, one thing I noticed, is that Dalangs ears stick out and are HUGE compared to the classic choo. A bonnet on Dalang that covers the ears will have bumps on the side, while on a classic choo, covering the ears is a non-issue. Another thing-Classic Choo has a longer face than Dalang-meaning my bonnet wraps under Dalangs chin nicely, while it appears slightly shorter on Classic.
this picture of me and two of my best friends, kandice and becca (upsidedown) really gets me for one reason: it seems to show off all our personalities at once. Well, mostly just becca's :P
World famous tenor Russell Watson dropped in to meet a group of young people at Swinton Police Station back in 2002.
He gave up his time to meet one of the groups taking part in Greater Manchester Police's "Make A Difference" challenge.
As part of the scheme the group would undertake a project to improve community life in their area.
The scheme was also designed to develop life skills and help build self confidence.
Russell was raised in nearby Irlam and was only to happy to lend his support.
Russell rose to fame a few years earlier - after several years singing in clubs - when he was asked to sing the National Anthem at the Rugby League Challenge Cup Final at Wembley Stadium and to sing a number of songs at the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final in Manchester United's treble winning season.
He continues - despite two major health scares in the recent years - to be a hugely popular singer on the wold stage to this day.

“The difference between sentiment and being sentimental is the following: Sentiment is when a driver swerves out of the way to avoid hitting a rabbit on the road. Being sentimental is when the same driver, when swerving away from the rabbit, hits a pedestrian.” - Frank Herbert
"Modern Love of Mr. Kung Fu" is devided into two parts, "Inner" and "Outer". "Inner" is transformed from ancient China face future-telling. The main idea of it is to discuss the difference of inner desire between modern and ancient. "Outer" derive from ancient China kung fu teaching-book. I combine martial art with parapara dance, so as to present the difference of desire in behavior between mordern and ancient.

KU advisors are more than schedule coordinators. Take KU journalism academic advisor Dan McCarthy. He has talked with students about finding internships, how to buy a car, and ways to live a good life, not just which classes to take.
"The most challenging part of my job is the most rewarding. Helping students realize that education is actually a transformative experience is the hard part,” McCarthy says. He wants students to understand that the "classroom is an opportunity and not an obstacle, taking classes unrelated to majors helps develop transferrable life skills, and that college is a ‘real world.’” To McCarthy, advising is a part of the #KUdifference.

So I opened a the new clone battle pack...and noticed the eyes on each of the figs was different. I'm not sure if this is just ridiculously poor printing, or if this is meant to give individuality to the clones as they have in the series. How old is this?
