M1 & M2 towers in Mississauga City Centre
The accordion styling is unique to my experience and quite eye catching. Two more towers are planned aside these two.

mandara 曼荼羅
Also written 曼陀羅 or 曼拏羅. Mandala. A diagram that depicts Buddhist deities according to certain geometric formats and illustrates the Buddhist world view. The term mandara is a transliteration of Sanskrit mandala, signifying a 'circle' or 'altar'. In Japan the transliteration 曼荼羅 is sometimes used to refer specifically to the mandara of Esoteric Buddhism mikkyou 密教, while 曼陀羅 is used to denote the mandara like painting of Pure Land Buddhism, but the original Sanskrit term is the same. The practice of arranging images in certain patterns may be observed already in the triads found at Gandhara and Mathura, and with the development of Esoteric Buddhism or Tantrism in India around the 6c. this triadic format evolved into a primitive form of the mandara. As Tantric thought developed, various doctrinal concepts came to be associated with specific deities, and this then led to the development of systematically arranged mandara on a large scale. In the early and middle periods of Tantric history, the usual method of arranging the deities was based on the Buddha, Lotus and Vajra families, with deities belonging to the Lotus and Vajra families being arrayed symmetrically to the right and left of the central deity. But after the emergence of the *Kongoukai mandara 金剛界曼荼羅 (ca. 8c) this three-family format came to be replaced by a five-family format, with deities belonging to the Tathagata, Vajra, Gem, Lotus and Action families being disposed uniformly in the center and in the east, south, west and north quarters . Depending upon their composition, mandara may be classified into three types: a comprehensive mandara depicting deities from all 'divisions' or 'families' (bu 部) is called a toe mandara 都会曼荼羅 or tobu mandara 都部曼荼羅, a mandara depicting deities belonging to a single family is called a bue mandara 部会曼荼羅 or betsubu mandara 別部曼荼羅, and a mandara centered on a single deity and relatively small in scale is called a *besson mandara 別尊曼荼羅. Representative of the toe mandara are the Kongoukai mandara described in the KONGOUCHOUKYOU 金剛頂経 (Sk: Sarvatathagatatattvasamgraha) and the *Taizoukai mandara 胎蔵界曼荼羅 described in the DAINICHIKYOU 大日経 (Sk:Vairocanabhisambodhi-sutra), and this pair of mandara is known in Japan as the *Ryoukai mandara 両界曼荼羅 or Ryoubu mandara 両部曼荼羅. Other forms of toe mandara are also described in Tantric texts, but virtually no examples exist in Japan, and although the bue mandara also exists on a theoretical level, it too is rare. The besson mandara, being centred on a single deity were produced in great numbers in Japan because of the popularity of esoteric rites dedicated to specific deities bessonhou 別尊法 and they are classified according to the type of deity into the 'Buddha family' butsubu 仏部, 'Buddha-crown family' butchoubu 仏頂部, 'sutra-rite division' kyouboubu 経法部, 'Kannon family ' kannonbu 観音部, 'bodhisattva family' bosatsubu 菩薩部, 'Myouou family 'myououbu 明王部, 'family of gods, tentoubu 天等部, and others. In India, mandara were originally drawn with powdered pigment on a raised platform formed of earth mixed with cow dung. This type of mandara required considerable time and labour to construct, and was destroyed after the completion of the rite for which it had been made, so in China and Japan graphic representations in scroll form that could be hung on a wall came to be used instead. The *shiki mandara 敷曼荼羅, which can be spread out like a carpet and is used during rites of initiation, preserves elements of the original earthen mandara. Depending upon the manner in which the deities are depicted, mandara may also be classified into the following four types *shishu manadara 四種曼荼羅: daimandara 大曼荼羅, in which the deities are shown in their physical forms; *sanmaya mandara 三昧耶曼荼羅, in which they are represented by means of symbolic objects sanmaya-gyou 三昧耶形; *shuji mandara 種字曼荼羅 or houmandara 法曼荼羅, in which they are indicated by means of Sanskrit syllables; and *katsuma mandara 羯磨曼荼羅, in which they are represented by means of three-dimensional images. The mandara was first introduced to Japan by Saichou 最澄 (766-822), the founder of the Tendai 天台 sect, who in 805 brought back from China the sanjuushichisonyou 三十七尊様, depicting the deities of the Kongoukai mandara, and the Daibutchou tsuuyou mandara 大仏頂通用曼荼羅, a variety of besson mandara. But for the full-scale introduction of the mandara Japan had to wait until the following year (806), when *Kuukai 空海 (774-835), the founder of the Shingon 真言 sect, brought back copies of the Ryoukai mandara. Even since, the mandara has been the main form of iconography in Japanese Esoteric Buddhism. Not only has it served as the basis for a large proportion of Buddhist iconography, but through the medium of Kuukai's writings it has also exerted considerable influence on the history of Japanese thought. The mandara has thus occupied an important position in the history of Japanese culture. This is reflected in the use of the term mandara to also refer to graphic representations of non-Tantric deities, as in the joudo mandara 浄土曼荼羅 of Pure Land Buddhism, the suijaku mandara 垂迹曼荼羅 associated with Shinto (see * Shintou bijutsu 神道美術), the *sankei mandara 参詣曼荼羅 depicting a specific shrine or temple, and the Kanjou jikkai mandara 勧請十界曼荼羅 devised by *Nichiren 日蓮 (1222-82). This is a development peculiar to Japan . The mandara in Japan have the same origins as the mandara still found in Nepal and Tibet, but have major differences in format. Firstly, whereas in the case of Nepalese and Tibetan mandara a protective circle of flames and vajras is drawn around the pavilion within which the deities are depicted, the Japanese mandara shows only a quadrangular schematized pavilion or a pavilion in concrete form, but with no peripheral structure. Square mandara without any peripheral structure, thought to date from the 8c-9c, have been discovered at Dunhuang 敦煌(Jp:Tonkou) and so the Japanese style may be closer to the original format of the mandara. Secondly, in the Nepalese and Tibetan mandara all the attendant deities are depicted in a radial manner facing the central deity, but in the Japanese mandara they all face the same direction as the central deity. This is thought to be because if the attendant deities were depicted facing the center in the hanging mandara that came into general use in Japan, those positioned in front of the central deity would appear upside down, thereby creating a sense of imbalance. But even in Japan the deities are drawn facing the centre in the case of the shiki mandara, which is spread over an altar.
Style belongs to only you. We all have our own sense of style. Evolve is just that.
So as we head into the weekend and the end of April why not have some fun. Sujin is a dress to do just that. Its vibrant color and little sparkle built in make this a great dress to transition from day to evening by just the touch up of the hair, lip color and shoes. Pick up Sujin this weekend for $60L. After that it goes up. New From Evolve.

sunset alpenglow on 13000+ foot peaks in the beautiful backcountry of Kings Canyon National Park.
Hey hey hey, fellow Flickrites!
Thanks again for all your thoughtful feedback on yesterday’s B&W photo. (If you haven’t seen the photo, check it out, if for nothing else, for everyone’s wonderful comments and advice!) Keep the conversations flowing; our experiences are all so different, and here we have come together to share – I will do my best to help you all up just as you help me!
Today, I’d like to post another image from my 275-mile, 19-day solo backpacking trip in the Sierras this past summer. Along the rightfully famous John Muir Trail, you’ll pass through highly remote and awe-inspiring regions, filled to the brim with awe-inspiring lakes and meadows surrounded by 13000+ foot peaks. After nearly two weeks on the trail, as I finally entered this valley, my heart began to beat louder and faster with excitement, and my mouth hung open in awe. Everything I’d heard wasn’t just true – it was even better than that. The walk was truly humbling - photos cannot even begin to describe, but the least I can do is put something up to try to share one or two of my feelings that night.
Of course, it had better have been amazing, since I was carrying a whopping 64 pounds on my back and had just hiked 19.5 miles that day. But when this is the reward, who wouldn’t want to live that life?
Alpenglow – that intense pink you see on the peaks -- is a meteorological phenomenon that occurs when the sun is just below the horizon, but some of those rays that don’t quite reach us directly are still being scattered by particles in the atmosphere. Depending on the humidity, cloud cover, and other similar factors, the effect can vary in intensity -- luckily, this was one of its stronger days.
As always, let me know what your thoughts are! This is a very special place to me, and I want to do everything I can to make sure it feels special to you as well.
Thanks for taking a look!
:)
edit (01.24.2012): Thanks to melyli, navandale, PhotonMix, and mike.meysner for their suggestions; I have tweaked the image a little and replaced it.

Years ago things would have been repaired or manufactured by riveting. Now most everything metal is welded. In my work as an artist / blacksmith though I do use both methods favoring the rivets as they are a more traditional method of joinery.

The purpose of the style... One day I saw the zebra flamingo and thought this was the coolest flamingo I have seen ever. Then I thought about style, and how a model would style to look like a pink flamingo, but is the pink flamingo enough to win a contest, or would the model look the same as all the other pink flamingos? So I decided to blog the zebra flamingo and mixed and matched the pink flamingo outfit and blogged. :)
Following the transition from Colonial Liberations Corps to the Colonial Defense Navy, it was made apparent that the decade-old fleet needed to evolve. The Thunderstrike is smaller, one-man replacement for the venerable DH-87 Thunderbird. Though not quite as universal, the Thunderstrike nevertheless completed the light gunship role of the Thunderbird with less size and and resources, though it cannot match the Thunderbird in its role as a dropship; for that role, the Thunderbirds that remain in service continue to be used less and less in combat scenarios, until the still-under-development "Thunderbird II"s are made ready for production. The Thunderstrike is one of only a few CDN military vehicles that has variants available to the private market. Many AV-88s (marketed as CV-88s) are used by private security firms and law enforcement.

This reindeer is comfortably evolving in the cold snow, while my big boots are so challenged to keep my feet warm in the winter of Lapland. An emblem of Lapland, reindeer is an often domesticated animal that provides meat and fur to the Sami communities.
Ce renne évolue confortablement dans la neige froide, tandis que mes grosses bottes ont bien du mal à garder mes pieds au chaud pendant l'hiver lapon. Emblématique de la Laponie, le renne est un animal souvent domestiqué qui fournit viande et fourrure aux populations Samis.
The only two differences on this variant of Chief compared to my Halo 3 variant is the battle scratches in his chest have been removed, and the helmet is obviously completely new :P
After watching a couple of cut scenes from CEA I had to make this !
I think the helmet came out pretty good, what do you think?
