Entry for DollyDaily. The cute kitty, Mohawk, belongs to Watbetty. You can see more pics of him here! www.flickr.com/photos/25976591@N06/
The entry has the effect of a glassed-in breezway. The glass doors on the north and south ends of the entry open completely, accordian-style. Eventually there will be walled in courtyards at both ends, so that when the doors are all open it will create one large indoor-outdoor space.

Launch-Entry Suit
Space Shuttle
The Launch-Entry Suit was a partial-pressure suit worn by Space Shuttle astronauts to protect against loss of cabin pressure during ascent and descent. Introduced after the 1986 Challenger accident, it was used until the late 1990s, when the full pressure Advanced Crew Escape Suit was phased out.
Informally called the "pumpkin suit" for its bright color, it pressurized at 3.2 pounds per square inch, and the inflated internal bladder exerted mechanical pressure on the crewmember's body. The helmet visor and neck dam were pressure seals, but the gloves were not; they connected to the suit by a tube and needle valve. The Launch-Entry Suit included an integrated "g-suit" to prevent blood from pooling in the lower body during reentry. The vest-like harness worn over the suit contained a parachute, breathing air tank, and survival gear for an emergency bail-out.
This suit was never worn in space. The gloves, boots and harness were worn in training or flight. All launch-entry helmets are still in use in NASA's inventory of flight gear.
ATA-Houston celebrated the National sovereignty and Children's Day with a community picnic on Sunday, April 22, 2018 at Cullen Park. ATA-Houston Children's Choir performed the national anthems and popular children's songs. We had special games and contest for the kids, and each child went home with special gifts: A copy of the Little Prince in Turkish, various toys and giveaways, flashlights and more. We thank all our volunteers and members who made this event possible.

Attached is my “40’s - 50’s” inspired pink and mint wedding.
I am getting married to my man on the June long weekend 2009. The black and white photo of a chapel is the “Wesleyan Chapel” in the George Brown Botanical Gardens in Darwin where I have already booked to have the wedding, reception on the deck at the back of the chapel and photos in the gardens.
My bridesmaids’ dress is a 40’s inspired ‘Stop Staring’ pink tulip dress, then again depends if my bridesmaid likes it.... I’m sure she will!!!!
I’m thinking of having a table with old books with personalised bookmarks as thankyou gifts to all the guests.
Flowers will be pink and white lilies and I’ve sourced a flower wholesaler and thinking of making my own flower arrangements on the day. A simple glass with a stem or two of lilies for the table centrepieces and I will order a plain white 2 tier cake and make my own small arrangement to decorate the top using electrical tape. My bridesmaid and my flowers will be a bunch of lilies and baby’s breath simply tied with pink and mint ribbons and my man and his best man will have a lily and baby breath buttonholes.

The entry into the Rodin Museum by KPF in Seoul, Korea.
This is one of my favorite buildings ever, but I'm not sure the entry has kicked it, and the sign seems to date it in the 1980's? Does anyone know if this was added after the design?

ALL my images have a CC licence, EXCEPT my three entries for the ChinaNext competition. After the competition I will change the licence to CC, except one of them actually wins, then it will stay exclusively for ChinaNext.
What is ChinaNext?
China's Future. A photography competition raising money for Shanghai's underprivileged students.
The winning photographs will be printed, framed and then sold at auction for charity during the event.
Looking at the current pool of the ChinaNext group, I saw that most people submitted pictures of children and other humans. I thought, let's break that and submit what seems to be getting attention from my own pool: Some new HDR Pudong shots. Shot especially for the competition, these three submitted entries show Shanghai's current most advanced zone, the future-like Pudong district around Lujiazui. This is already China's "Next" zone. Since the competition's statement is to raise money by auctioning images, I think the subject can be a bit off from children themselves.

The Ultimate Kitchen featured an entry area with a built in desk, this bench with cubbies, and a laundry area. All were finished in sea drift stain with a licorice patina enhancement.
The atmospheric entry probe part of a representative model of the twin Vega (Вега) spacecraft, part of the Soviet space programme. Vega 1 and 2 were launched on Proton rockets from Baikonur on 15 and 21 December 1984, respectively, heading for Venus, where they arrived on 11 and 15 June 1985, respectively.
Both Vega 1 and 2 deployed probes with designs similar to those of the Venera (Венера) series: both contained a surface lander and a balloon, contained within a spherical container (seen here). After a high speed atmospheric entry at 125km, parachutes were used to slow the probes down, with accelerations reaching hundreds of g. Release of the cap section at 64km altitude revealed the balloon package, after which the balloon was filled an operated at 54km altitude.
The bottom half of the shell was released and then the main chute, leaving the probe to fall on its own from an altitude of 47km for an hour to the surface, slowed purely by aerodynamic braking in the dense Venusian atmosphere. The Vega 1 probe operated for 20 minutes under surface conditions of 467˚C and 95 atmospheres: some of its surface experiments had been prematurely initiated at an altitude of about 18km by a very hard shock in the atmosphere. Vega 2's lander returned data for 56 minutes under conditions of 463˚C and 91 atmospheres.
The two carrier spacecraft then continued on to conduct flybys of Comet 1P/Halley on 6 and 9 March 1986, coming within 8890km and 8030km of the nucleus, respectively. They thus obtained images prior to the flyby of ESA's Giotto on 13 March, helping the latter to target its approach at 596km.

It was overcast and sometimes drizzly so the light and color wasn't all that good, that's why I used the Photomatix process on most of the pictures I took at Huntly Castle, to bring out the color and details. My booklet I purchased there said this would have originally been tinctured with coloured pigments.
The doorway itself is an elaborate Renaissance confection, its lintel resting on slim classical pilasters and ornamented with grotesque animals and heraldry. Directly above is a panel emblazoned with the arms of the marquis and marchioness. Above the marquis's coat of arms are those of his sovereigns, James VI and Queen Anna of Denmark. Higher still are two panels which once illustrated the Passion and Resurrection of Christ. The lower contained the Arma Christi (the arms of Christ); the pierced heart, hands and feet, along with the instruments of his passion. The circular panel above depicted the Risen Christ. The whole composition is crowned by the figure of the warrior archangel Michael triumphing over Satan, representing the victory of Good over Evil on the Day of the Last Judgeship.
The religious imagery of the frontispiece was carefully defaced when the Covenanters occupied the castle in the 1640s. They left the earthly heraldry untouched.
Our "Historic Scotland" passes we'd bought in Edinburgh let us into Huntly Castle as well as other places.
Huntly Castle: Over a period of 600 years this site saw four different castles in three slightly different locations under two different names. And between them these castles were attacked or besieged at least eight times.
In about 1180, Duncan, Earl of Fife, built the first castle here. By early 1306, John of Strathbogie, by now both Earl of Fife and Earl of Atholl, was executed by Edward I for supporting Robert the Bruce (see our Historical Timeline). The castle passed to his son, David of Strathbogie. After years of family support for Robert the Bruce, which included his using the castle as a base in 1307, David of Strathbogie chose to shift his support to the English early in 1314. This was a bad move, coming just before Robert the Bruce's final victory at Bannockburn.
In response to this Robert the Bruce, granted the castle and the lands of Strathbogie to Sir Adam Gordon of Huntly, in Berwickshire, who had shown him more consistent loyalty. This brought the Gordons to Moray, and with them the name of Huntly that was later to replace Strathbogie.
In about 1410, Sir Alexander Seton, later Lord Gordon, cleared away the 230 year old wooden castle and replaced it with a stone tower house built at the north end of the bailey. Only the thick-walled foundations of the tower house now remain, visible on the north side of the castle courtyard. The tower house would have been accompanied by a defensive wall around the bailey area, and ranges of other supporting buildings.
This castle was burned by the Earl of Moray in 1452, a member of the Black Douglas family and an opponent of King James II. In retaliation the Earl of Huntly (as the head of the Gordon family had become) destroyed the Black Douglas family in Moray. The damaged tower house at Strathbogie was replaced in 1460 by a much grander building on the south side of the site, where all later development was to take place. Today only the cellars under the later palace remain of the 1460 building.
In 1506, Alexander, the third Earl of Huntly, was granted a charter changing the name of the castle and surrounding area from Strathbogie to Huntly, in effect fitting the geography to his title. The castle has since been known as Huntly Castle, and the town to its south also later became known as Huntly.
By 1550 George, the 4th Earl of Huntly, was also Lord Chancellor of Scotland and one of the wealthiest men in the kingdom. He rebuilt the castle above the basement level into a grand palace, finishing the work just in time for a visit by Mary de Guise, widow of James V and mother of Mary Queen of Scots. George's strong Catholicism and political independence were later to lead to his falling out with Mary Queen of Scots. On 28 October 1562 she defeated him at the Battle of Corrichie, near Aberdeen. George was killed in the battle, Huntly Castle was looted and George's younger son was executed.
Repairs were still underway when George, the 6th Earl of Huntly, joined a plot against James VI (son of Mary Queen of Scots) in 1594. The King's response was to attack the castle, damaging it again and blowing up the remains of the old tower house on the north side of the enclosure. By 1599 George had made his peace with James VI and been promoted to Marquis of Huntly. His response was a further round of building work at Huntly, designed to make the 1550 palace even grander and more decorative.
The remodelling around 1600 included the remarkable fireplaces on view in the palace, one of which is dated 1606, and the decorative oriel windows and inscription on the exterior of the upper floor of the palace. The inscription reads: George Gordon First Marquis of Huntlie 16 above Henriette Stewart Marquesse of Huntlie 02.
The architectural triumph of the palace that resulted was not to be enjoyed for long. The 2nd Marquis of Huntly backed the King in the Civil War and paid for it with his life. In 1640 Huntly Castle was occupied by the Covenanting Army. In 1644 it was held for the King by the Duke of Montrose. And in 1647 it was defended by Lord Charles Gordon against General Leslie's Covenanters, but starved into submission. The defenders were all executed. In 1650, King Charles II stayed en route to his coronation as King of Scotland.
Huntly Castle last played an active role in Scottish History in 1746, when it was held by Government Troops against the Jacobites. It later became a handy quarry for those building the town of Huntly before its value as an attractive ruin was appreciated in the late 1800s. It was passed into State care in 1923, and is now looked after by Historic Scotland.
India is amongst those countries that have been hit hard by the US subprime meltdown.
It's probably because outsourcing businesses such as data entry services have been one of the key drivers of India's economy in recent times. The outsourcing businesses were the first to feel the heat of the subprime meltdown probably because of the depreciating value of dollar against most of the major world currencies including the Indian Rupee. Dollar depreciation means less pay for the same effort and costs for outsourcing companies and this is exactly how the outsourcing industry has been affected by the subprime meltdown.
