To give equal time - and provide eye-candy - for the ladies, here's one of my friends, Daven, dressed up as Cernunnos, the Celtic God of the Forest and Hunt. This was also a great chance for him to show off his newest tattoo, the red, coiled snake.
Tech stuff: added a B&W layer - which I faded down to 75% - and masked out his tattoos and painted spirals to really make them pop out at you; added a blue color filter to help tone down the orange cast from the overhead lights.
UPDATE: I'm quite honored that Daven used this pic as his Facebook icon. *blushes*

I'm going to participate in a photo competition of the University of Antwerp. The topic is "equality". So the photo has to express that the university gives equal opportunities to everyone, whatever their origin, religion, appearance, etc. may be.
Do you think this is a good shot for the contest?
And btw, I passed 5 of the 6 exams. I have only one retake, organic chemistry. I'm pretty happy with my results, if you know that only 16 students of the 170, passed al their exams. And 30% of the students didn't succeed for any course.
Just over a year ago, I challenged myself to make a charity quilt each month for the next year and do it from my stash. I did it! Ten of the twelve quilts were approximately 36" x 48"; a size which made it easier, but, nevertheless, I completed 12 charity quilts!
In addition to making the quilts, I created a free pattern for each of them. You can find them all under "Tutorials" then "Charity Challenge" on my website.

An interesting window of Christ with his apostles from Bath Abbey. Among them is St Mary Magdalene, shown holding the jar of ointment. She is sometimes called "Equal of the Apostles" because the Risen Christ first appeared to her, and told her to tell the good news of his resurrection to the apostles.
Today, 22 July, is her feast day.

Painting inspired by "Four Fragments" some paragraphs written by the poet José Ángel Valente for the painter Antoni Tàpies.
"The state of creation is equal to the wu-wei in the practice of Tao: state of no action, no interference, of supreme attention to the movements of the universe and to the breathing of matter. Only in this state of retraction does form come, not as something imposed on matter, but as its natural epiphany "

Parliament: Exhibition opening on Heroes' Square on 100 years Women's Suffrage. Portraits of the first pioneers on the long road to equality. Vienna (PK) - 100 years ago, eight women moved into the Constituent Assembly of the Austrian Parliament for the first time, after the legal foundations were created in 1918. Under the title "Equal Rights - 100 Years of Electoral Rights for Women", the Parliament is now dedicating to these pioneers another exhibition on Heroes' Square, which was officially opened today on International Women's Day. The first female parliamentarians, whose portraits are now presented in a kind of "wall newspaper", have proven that it pays to fight for the cause of equal rights, stressed National Council President Wolfgang Sobotka. As with the 100th anniversary exhibition, which was a great success and was visited by more than 500 people each day, it now aims to bring a very important topic back into the collective consciousness. We should take these eight women as models, explained the Second National Council President Doris Bures, because they had shown what is possible, if women in all unity and consistency to improve the living conditions. Even if much has already been achieved, this path must be continued so that women can lead a self-determined and independent life. Meanwhile, there are 68 mandates in the House, Bures pointed out, but it took more female representatives at federal, state and local level. According to Anneliese Kitzmüller, the third president of the National Council, there is still room for improvement in many areas. In particular, it takes more appreciation for all women, no matter which life model they choose, because all activities are worth the same. In any case, she will do its utmost to support and promote women in the realization of their wishes.
The first pioneers for the democratic participation of women in Austria
On the ten stands, the first eight parliamentarians and the later Federal Council President Olga Rudel-Zeynek - the world's first woman at the head of a legislative body - are portrayed. The Protaganists from different political camps - Anna Boschek, Hildegard Burjan, Emmy Freundlich, Adelheid Popp, Gabriele Proft, Therese Schlesinger, Amalie Seidel, Maria Tusch and Olga Rudel-Zeynek - were the trailblazers for women becoming a decisive factor in politics. The freely accessible exhibition on Heldenplatz, which can also be visited as part of guided tours, was conceived by Astrid Kury, President of the Graz Academy, and architect Alexander Kada. These are outstanding personalities who, despite all - in part massive - resistances for women's rights, explained Kury. As many of them grew up under dramatic social conditions, she placed the issue of justice at the center of the concept. Exhibitions in public space are the latest format, Alexander Kada was convinced, because it was a way to approach the visitors. He hopes that the "wall newspaper" will be accepted on the displays as well as the previous one for the Republic's founding.
Parlament: Ausstellungseröffnung am Heldenplatz zu 100 Jahren Frauenwahlrecht
Porträts der ersten Pionierinnen auf dem langen Weg zur Gleichberechtigung
Wien (PK) - Vor 100 Jahren zogen erstmalig acht Frauen in die Konstituierende Nationalversammlung des österreichischen Parlaments ein, nachdem im Jahr 1918 die gesetzlichen Grundlagen dafür geschaffen wurden. Unter dem Titel "Gleiche Rechte - 100 Jahre Wahlrecht für Frauen" widmet das Parlament nun diesen Pionierinnen eine weitere Ausstellung am Heldenplatz, die heute am Internationalen Frauentag offiziell eröffnet wurde.
Die ersten weiblichen Parlamentarierinnen, deren Porträts nun in einer Art "Wandzeitung" präsentiert werden, haben bewiesen, dass es sich lohnt, für die Sache der Gleichberechtigung zu kämpfen, betonte Nationalratspräsident Wolfgang Sobotka. Wie schon bei der Ausstellung zum 100-jährigen Republiksjubiläum, die ein großer Erfolg war und täglich von über 500 Personen besucht wurde, wolle man damit nun erneut ein sehr wichtiges Thema in das kollektive Bewusstsein rücken.
Wir sollten uns diese acht Frauen zum Vorbild nehmen, erklärte die Zweite Nationalratspräsidentin Doris Bures, denn sie hätten gezeigt, was möglich ist, wenn sich Frauen in aller Geschlossenheit und Konsequenz für eine Verbesserung der Lebensumstände einsetzen. Auch wenn vieles schon gelungen sei, so müsse dieser Weg fortgeführt würden, damit Frauen ein selbstbestimmtes und unabhängiges Leben führen können. Mittlerweile gebe es 68 Mandatarinnen im Hohen Haus, zeigte Bures auf, aber es brauche noch mehr weibliche Vertreterinnen auf Bundes-, Länder- und Gemeindeebene.
Auch nach Auffassung von Anneliese Kitzmüller, der Dritten Nationalratspräsidentin, gebe es noch in vielen Bereichen Luft nach oben. Es brauche insbesondere mehr Wertschätzung für alle Frauen, egal für welches Lebensmodell sie sich entscheiden, denn alle Tätigkeiten seien gleich viel wert. Sie werde sich jedenfalls dafür einsetzen, dass Frauen bei der Verwirklichung ihrer Wünsche unterstützt und gefördert werden.
Die ersten Wegbereiterinnen für die demokratische Partizipation von Frauen in Österreich
Auf den zehn Standrahmen werden die ersten acht Parlamentarierinnen sowie die spätere Bundesratspräsidentin Olga Rudel-Zeynek - weltweit die erste Frau an der Spitze einer gesetzgebenden Körperschaft - porträtiert. Die Protaganistinnen aus verschiedenen politischen Lagern - Anna Boschek, Hildegard Burjan, Emmy Freundlich, Adelheid Popp, Gabriele Proft, Therese Schlesinger, Amalie Seidel, Maria Tusch und Olga Rudel-Zeynek - waren die Wegbereiterinnen dafür, dass Frauen zu einem entscheidenden Faktor in der Politik geworden sind.
Konzipiert wurde die frei zugängliche Ausstellung am Heldenplatz, die auch im Rahmen von Führungen besucht werden kann, von der Präsidentin der Akademie Graz Astrid Kury sowie vom Architekten Alexander Kada. Es handle sich um herausragende Persönlichkeiten, die trotz aller - teils massiven - Widerstände, für die Frauenrechte eingetreten sind, erläuterte Kury. Da viele von ihnen unter dramatischen sozialen Bedingungen aufwuchsen, habe sie die Frage der Gerechtigkeit in den Mittelpunkt des Konzepts gestellt. Ausstellungen im öffentlichen Raum seien das Format der Stunde, war Alexander Kada überzeugt, weil man sich damit auf die BesucherInnen zubewege. Er hoffe, dass die "Wandzeitung" auf den Displays genauso gut angenommen wird wie die vorangegangene zur Republiksgründung.

Harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena)

These guys are relatively fairly slow-moving but only seem to come up with one "arc" at a time. There was quite a good showing out there this day ... with quite flat conditions.
I would say there were likely at least a dozen feeding in the bay
The English word ‘porpoise' is derived from the Latin word for pig – porcus. The harbour porpoise used to be referred to as the ‘puffing pig' because of the sneeze-like puffing sound it sometimes makes when it breathes.

The more we give our lives over to the practice of contemplation, the more our thinking mind is trellised by silence, the more easily thinking mind remains still and focused on what it is good at, such as thinking, inventing, writing, creating new ways to hold and heal.

We have had a very dry year in my part of NY State....and I thought 2007 was dry. But it rained for several hours on Saturday & I couldn't wait to take the dogs on Sunday morning to the Glen to see the stream that flows deep down in the gorge. I hope we continue to get much needed rain and/or snow, or this will be back to a trickle in no time.
PLEASE VIEW ON BLACK if you have the time. Two other photos below:).
