This really is the final version of the doggie portrait,grouted and polished. The only difference is that there was a considerable ammount of rework around the eyes which has,I think, improved the adamento. Also the colours are better in this photo, specially the blue background.
Preston Bus Station - the long distance coach end which used to be a taxi pick and set down point. In later times it looked absolutely awful and the haunt of drunks and yobs
Here you can see the size difference between my bike and scooter. I forgot to put a shoe on there but rest assured both feet can stand side by side as well as stagger stepped. People even ride them with their kids standing at the front part of the deck and hanging onto the lead tube.
So how does this thing compare to other forms of travel? Dunno, that would require documenting shit. Okay I do have some numbers to compare.
I had read on the internet that people were going about jog pace on their scooters with little exertion. I would say the effort is not that much with some exceptions. The thin tires eat into grass and rolling pretty much comes to halt. Something to keep in mind when ripping down the sidewalk and deciding to take a detour. Bricks, tile aren't so good with all their cracks and seams. Carpet is also a major energy sucker when the janitors and security staff are yelling at you. Aside from the grass it's still beneficial to scoot than walk.
Surprisingly super smooth concrete in the tunnels at work aren't as fast as concrete and asphalt! I don't know what it is but the texture of the road allows the scooter to roll along while the smooth surfaces seem to stick to the tires.
I saw travel times posted by owners that were half and sometimes two thirds less than walking. Again, that depends.
I rode it to a dinner party from the office to a nearby apartment complex. It took 12 minutes with 2/3 the way coasting due to slight to medium downhill portions. According to various inhabitants it takes about half an hour when walking. Checking google maps the distance shows as 1.4 miles or 2.3km. I walk about a km every 10 minutes so I estimate this distance would take about 23-25 minutes. So in this case it took me about half the time with a little bit of kicking 1/3 the way in the flats. On the way back up the hill was a different story and it was pretty tiring. I was full of food and booze so I neglected to time it.
Another test - I don't have cable so I like to walk over to the Fred Meyer every couple of weeks and rent a DVD out of the Redbox (Automated movie dispenser for a buck a day). It takes 18-20 minutes each way as it is down hill there and uphill back. How'd the scooter do? 8 minutes down the hill and 12 minutes up the hill although I walked some of the steeper parts.
The main grocery store that I go to is 1 km away. My path either forms zigzag or big L with the start leg being down hill and the rest fairly level. Going there is a lot of fun as I come down the hill (of course wait for traffic light) cut through this drive through bank area which is like a big race track and then bound out into a lower parking lot. By taking a diagonal I can coast 3/4 of the way. I didn't time it but the walking experience takes 10 minutes. I figure again it's south of the half mark and a lot of fun -yeah I said it twice! I limit my food haul to as much as I can fit in a hand basket (including heaping) as it seems to fit my backpack well. The ride back wasn't too bad aside from the uphill. It gets steep enough that I think it's faster to walk.
Lots more tests to do including at the office. So far I'm just ripping through the parking lots and will have to see the improvement on my 15 minute walk.
Makes no difference who you are

Flickr Friday theme - The Best Memory of My Life
One of my "best" memories is when my daughter got her wish to celebrate her birthday at Disney World. On the morning of her 6th birthday, she got to celebrate by having breakfast inside Cinderella's Castle...a little girls dream come true! The pure joy in a child's face when they experience such a magical place is truly wonderful :)

Norman Rockwell painted What a Difference Light Makes! (Young Couple Surprised by Young Brother) in 1920 as an advertisement for Edison Mazda Lampworks. (See my next photo…)
Over a period of seven years he created at least twenty full-color oils for this advertising campaign, which was one of his earliest and most successful. These ads were designed to emphasize the comfort of living that could be attained through electric lighting and reproduced predominantly in Ladies' Homer Journal and The Saturday Evening Post.

Healthful Behavior Healthful habits that needs to be established when they are young contain the following: ? Brushing teeth twice every day, at a minimum – Brushing your tongue to remove bacteria, using a tongue cleaner – Flossing one or more times every day – Avoiding refined sugars, and – Minimizing acidic ingredients. In babies, special care should be taken to make certain correct tooth and gum health, lengthy before they cut their initial tooth. After every meal or bottle feeding, parents need to rinse infant gums with a dampened cloth. Baby bottles need to not be kept in a bed to ensure that the mouth can go prolonged periods of time with out exposure. Soft brushes and finger caps may be purchased, along with fluoride-free toothpastes designed for infants. These needs to be utilized to clean the initial teeth that start to appear. Brushing of infant teeth needs to be carried out twice daily, at minimum. After a child has cut what appears to be a full number of teeth, they need to go to a Louisville pediatric dentist.

The cleanings can aid remove any plaque build-up and restore gum health.

Request stories and details about their particular experience with Louisville dental professionals, like how seriously they take preventative actions and how kid-friendly their offices and practices are. In case you don’t have pals and family within the area, search online or check with your oral health insurance provider for recommendations for local pediatric dentists which are covered under your insurance plan. Once you might have discovered an applicant that piques your curiosity, set up a consultation to interview them, and come prepared with questions about fee policies, treatment philosophies and any family medical history concerns that you may have.

IS THE DIFFERENCE AS REVS CAP WILD COMEBACK WIN
The York Revolution surged back in the late innings for a wild, 9-7 come-from-behind victory over Frederick Baseball Club on Saturday night in front of 5,371 fans at WellSpan Park. Trailing most of the night, York grabbed the lead on a dramatic go-ahead grand slam home run by Jacob Rhinesmith in the seventh. After Frederick drew even, Tomo Otosaka’s bases loaded double in the bottom of the eighth provided the difference. The Revs (20-13) maintain a half game lead for first place in the North Division, having won seven consecutive games, one shy of matching a franchise record.

Approximately 130 Soldiers, Family Members, Retirees and Civilian volunteers joined about 60 Korean volunteers Saturday morning for the first-ever Make A Difference Day in Korea at Deog Dong San park in Pyeongtaek.
USA Weekend Magazine created Make a Difference Day about 18 years ago as national day of helping others -- a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors, according to their website, www.usaweekend.com/diffday/aboutmadd.html. Make A Difference Day is an annual event that takes place on the fourth Saturday of every October.
The volunteers spent the morning picking up trash, cleaning out storm drains and ditches and performing beautification projects around the park.
Following the work session, volunteers enjoyed lunch and a traditional Korean dance performance by students from Shin Han High School.

There are noticeable differences in the plumages of the Grosbeak species with regard to age, molts, and breeding status. At this time of year there are only adult birds here. The species part of the Latin name actually means something recognizable to even us commoners : black (or dark) headed.

I recently became aware of major differences in viewing on Flickr. I have an iMac and use Safari as my browser. When I view it using Firefox the contrast is lost, as is the resolution and a changed color balance (reduced reds). I have no idea what it looks like on a PC. I've submitted this one which is way "cranked" regarding contrast, saturation (especially the reds), and sharpening (high pass filter plus USM).
I'm submitting this so I can again check out how it appears on the web using a "universal" browser. However, I still won't know what it looks like on a PC. So..................
If you like it, enough to comment, please note the computer and browser you used to view it, and how much "pop" it has. Is there any cyan in the sky? Is the bark too red? Is shadow detail preserved? (Also, if you do have a Mac, please add any tips, settings etc., you use in preparing material for the web.)
November 12, 2018: This is the north end of the lake in Greenwood Park, complete with Canada Geese (Branta canadensis). (It is late Autumn, so the only green wood is the conifers.) It was bright and sunny. There had been snowfall overnight, but it was mostly gone, except for areas which didn't get direct sun. It had changed when I went up there again on November 18.

Cassie Nova, the Nova's good clone in DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 Empires2018
I notice as I was looking through my characters photos, my MC(Main Character): William, his CG (Covergirl) wife: Wilma Sue and his MA (Main Antagonist): Victor all have a copy of themselves except for BCG ("Bad" CoverGirl) Nova who did not have one.
I decided to alter my character list and create Cassie Nova.
Her story,
Cassie Nova is the results of a fail attempt by Nova to have a "back-up" baby from Victor when she was a teen. The attempt fail creating a nonfunctioning embryo.
Royce, the father of my MA, when correcting Nova's body before her second battle with Victor's fiancée, created the baby clone of Nova from the dysfunctional embryo(A body replacement in case she failed to win).
Note: Royce's powers are equivalent to Marvel Comic's "Cosmic Cube" at the cost of losing much of his life force. EVERY time he exerts the power it shortens his life span.
When Nova left Earth, Nova's parents raised the baby after they were granted custody of the embryo.
Nova would later travel back in time, WITH PERMISSION, to visit her parents. When Nova learned of the teenage Cassie, Cassie was kidnapped by Nova from her "parents".
Failing to convert Cassie to join her "sister" and not having the heart to kill "herself", Nova gives Cassie to my MC's forces because Cassie was missing and NEVER found in the 24th Century(She cannot be returned to that timeline).
Cassie's first name comes from a maternal second cousin who paid for the original Nova's schooling.
Tema della settimana #9: difference.
Questa settimana la genesi della foto è stata davvero particolare, in quanto sto lavorando all'artwork per un album di un gruppo musicale...e siccome il tempo è sempre così poco, mi sono detto: "perchè non ideare qualcosa che unisca i due intenti?"
E così è nata questa foto, che in una versione diversa ed insanguinata costituirà la cover dell'album.
In questa versione, ho eliminato tutti i fronzoli (ad esempio i macabri schizzi di sangue ahuahauh) per sottolineare l'essenza dello scatto, cioè la differenza, l'antitesi, tra il fiore (per antonomasia dolce, soffice, gentile) ed il filo spinato che lo avvolge (cruento, doloroso e fatale)
Spero vi piaccia! =)
Percent difference calculator equals the absolute value of the change in value, divided by the average of the 2 numbers, all multiplied by 100. We then append the percent sign, %.Percent increase and percent decrease are measures of percent change, which is the extent to which a variable gains or loses intensity, magnitude, extent, or value. The figures are arrived at by comparing the initial (or before) and final (or after) quantities according to a specific formula. It is assumed that both the initial and the final quantities are positive (larger than 0).
