These two chicks look very different, but presumably were from the same litter? The one on the left is a mallard chick but the one on the right looks as much like a cygnet as anything! There were some domestic white ducks mixed in with the mallards on this pond, so I assume these are the result of a cross?
With a Wonderful Deep "V" Neck Profile - Very Different from the Gibson ES-125T.
1953 Epiphone Century E422T.
An unbelievably light (5.60 lbs.) guitar with a with a thinline non-cutaway single-bound laminated maple top, back, and sides. Three-piece mahogany/maple/mahogany neck with a wonderful medium to thick deep 'V' profile. Brazilian rosewood fretboard with 20 jumbo frets and inlaid pearl dot position markers. Headstock with metal Epiphone logo plate. Shaped metal truss-rod cover with three screws. Closed-back Kluson Deluxe 'single-line' strip tuners with white plastic oval buttons. One Epiphone 'New York Century' pickup. Tortoiseshell pickguard with inlaid silver Epiphone stylized "E" logo. Two controls (one volume, one tone) on lower treble bout. Epiphone 'Carousel' white bakelite conrtol knobs. Rosewood bridge with pre-set compensating saddle and trapeze tailpiece with plain cross-bar. Rectangular blue label inside.
Although the Epiphone Century is often compared to a Gibson ES-125T, in this case the similarity ends with the basic shape. The scale length is 25 1/2 compared with Gibson's 24 3/4 inches which gives an extra harmonic sparkle and acoustic 'snappiness' that only a 25 1/2 inch scale can offer. This guitar has a wonderful three-piece deep "V" neck profile as compared to the ES-125's one-piece neck and round profile. The New York pickup has a pleasantly different sound to the Gibson's P-90.
Thanks to the efforts at different levels from institutions, businesses and individuals Star of Hope has built new classrooms at the school in Boyer village. The children, their children parents and school staff are all very happy for this.
The teachers are also newly trained and the classrooms are equipped with new furniture.
Star of Hope has supported the school since 1993 and the current academic year has more than 550 students receiving education and food.
Over the years, Star of Hope also helped with community development projects such as farmers tool banks and seed to local farmers. In 2011 Star of Hope built a large water cistern and we trained over thirty seamstresses.
Many families have also received goats and chickens.
However, we need more sponsors to develop the school even further. Together, we give children a good start in life.

on Flossy's old sock mill pic.. This is the color version of the building that once provided a lot of jobs to some Alabamians... It really is sad...
The Lady was continuously looking the timetable to avoid any mistake and catch the right bus.. the child was, of course, in a completely different world.. just staring us...
some really different stuff from a few years back....primarily done with a software called Bryce (with the occasional photograph included)
I needed a change from white and grey..

'See things differently' - V-line advert.
Southern Cross Station, Melbourne, reflecting the Press Exchange behind me as I took this photo. Pretty much the way I've been feeling about photography lately.
Different pools contain water of different temperatures. The hottest were really hot! The heated water is from the Arenal volcano.
Once in the complex, you could stay as long as you wanted - swimming, bathing, eating or drinking, relaxing by the poolside, all surrounded by impressive tropical forests. Only drawback: the noisy cicadas!
Burgundy and black tunic made from cotton and linen.
It has:
• black linen tapered bottom - shorter in front, long in back - great for layering
• funky bracketed front seams with a hangy flap thing
• three-quarter length sleeves with long flaring cuffs
• flattering arched waist panel made of ribbed cotton jersey
Sewn with visible serged threads in dark graphite gray and dark mustard gold.
Something a bit different. Good Smile Company manufactures a whole slew of stuff, and one of the lesser known ones to me is the "Act Mode" line, which features a full action figure along with some components that you need to assemble yourself.
I can't exactly remember why I got this Tusbasa Kazanari set, nor do I know anything about the series she's from Symphogear GX, but she did arrive months ago and I've finally gotten around to opening her.
I think it's fair to say that this would be more like a partially finished model kit set rather than a Figma, though there are some visual similarities design wise. Overall though, it's really the way the parts are cut and the obviousness of the joints that makes this more model kit for me.
In the case of this set, the parts that you need to assemble are for the figure stand. Other sets feature more elaborate parts that aren't as optional. So I just skipped the entire thing.
As mentioned, I don't know what exactly this character is all about, so I'll presume that no show breaking gear is missing. What's interesting is the lack of hands - there's only a pair of open palm and a pair of weapon gripping hands. The three total face plates seems alright.
The figure is slightly larger than your typical Figma, yet weighs less, which might partially account for the relatively cheaper price point on these (in comparison).
Articulation is generally not bad, and is very much on par with what other humanoid model kits offer. The catch is, however, that the bulk of her costume and hair really limit what the figure can do. The short version is the upper body isn't bad, but you'll find some heavy restrictions on what you can do with the legs.
Paint and Build Quality are about what you'd expect from a Good Smile Product.
Will I get any more of these Act Mode? To be honest, it's going to be IP driven. I can't say that I prefer these, engineering wise, over Figma, so it's unlikely I'd just get one for fun, especially n ow that I know what they're all about.
We stopped at a little rest stop along the U.S. highway we took back toward Madison and had a nice little picnic lunch of sandwiches we'd picked up from the Prairie du Chien Piggly-Wiggly. I'd stopped at this same rest stop during my lightning drive across Wisconsin last February and had taken a picture of this farm at the base of the hill. Remember this picture? This is what that spot looks like in its summer colors.
