Expect the unexpected from Integrity Toys. One reason why I want to share my thoughts on this set is because IT has finally released a Color Infusion product outside of the convention which is something that fans have been asking for. It could also mean that a future collection of CI dolls outside of convention is possible. While I think it’s a great idea, I do think that the Color Infusion brand seem to be not a good fit for movie themes. This Saturday Night Fever Gift Set seems odd to me. What is the Color Infusion brand all about? What I do know is that the brand has a diverse selection of dolls which is one reason why I was lured into the brand. Well Color Infusion is actually the reason why I got into Integrity Toys. I love the face sculpts. The faces are just gorgeous. I actually also love the stylized bodies. It’s what sets them apart from any other dolls from other brands. What I also know is that the fashions released so far have been really great especially from last year’s Style Lab Edge of Night theme. The only thing I like about this set is Ollie Lawson as Tony Manero. I think he’s by far the best doll to come out with the Acheron/Romain face sculpt. I actually think he’s better looking than Rock Steady Romain. While I love the Raya Alonso face sculpt as it seems like a modified version of the Janay face sculpt, Fabiana Diaz as Stephanie Mangano’s styling doesn’t really speak to me. Well the whole Saturday Night Fever theme doesn’t speak to me at all. I can’t really relate to the movie. I think Fabiana will look much better with a tan skintone. So I think I’ll just wait for a better version of her. I’m wondering if we’ll see a Color Infusion collection in one of the upcoming reveals this year. All I know is that I’ll be broke if that happens.

The expected overnight heavy snowfall failed to materialise so I was not able to obtain the early morning shot that I had originally planned. Instead we had this lovely sunrise.
Definitely still worth getting up early for and a bright start to the day after the endless grey days we have had this month.
The roll of SFX turned out far better than I expected. While a little dark due to being used under a lot of canopy cover, but nothing I couldn't fix in post-processing. But even without a filter you can see SFX working its magic with the blue skies.

Wasn't expecting to see this in Hastings today!, and this vehicle was on Southeastern Trains Rail Replacement Services from Hastings to Robertsbridge, and appears to have transfered from Brighton and Hove Buses to GO Ahead London.

The Rosenkavalier (Knight of the Rose) Palais
It stands, as can hardly be expected otherwise, in Vienna, and it is called - just since October 8th, 1777: Palais Auersperg. On that memorable day it was purchased by Prince Johann Adam Auersperg, which had been built around 50 years earlier by the architect Giovanni Christiano Neupauer according to the plans of the famous Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. The builder was a certain Hieronymus Capece de Rofrano and so we are right in Rosenkavalier! Octavian de Rofrano, the gentleman at the court of the great Empress Maria Theresa, the gallant lover with the silver Rose, he really had existed! Because Hugo von Hofmannsthal actually for his opera libretto a Rofrano as a model for Oktavian had bestirred only this one was called Peter and he was the son of that Jerome, who for the property - an old brick factory was standing on it - non-less than 28,000 florins on the table of the house had pinged. He could afford it because he held the office of Postmaster-General of the Habsburg territories in Italy - and in those days there was no deficit with the post office.
The money played no role in this house - even more but the music: but it is the palace itself, in the words of one of its famous visitors "One of the most beautiful chords in the symphony Vienna". If one still adds that concerning this visitor it was no other than the great Robert Stolz, then it must be admitted that this judgment comes from a qualified source. Music also always has been the invisible center of the palace, long before even Richard Strauss wrote the opera, whose title character is a Rofrano. For example, after 1760 when the Field Marshal Friedrich Wilhelm von Sachsen Hildburghausen moved here as a tenant. This subtle and tasteful music connoisseur and music lover committed as head of his famous house concerts none other than Christoph Willibald Gluck. That was certainly a highlight of the musical history of the palace but not the only one. We know the date of another apogee of this kind, namely the March of the year 1786. At this time here takes place a private performance of the opera "Idomeneo". The ensemble is composed solely of members of the great Viennese society, there appear names like Baron Polini and Count Hatzfeld. Mozart, who revised the vocal parts to "suit the vocal chords" of his noble performers, composed a special "scena con rondo" with violin solo for this occasion. Yet another personality of the Austrian nobility participated in this house at an amateur performance as a performer, the Crown Prince Rudolf, four years before his tragic end. At that time the palace had long been in the possession of Prince Auersperg, whose name it still bears today. And not only the building but also the street is called Auerspergstrasse. This in honor of a Prince Adolf from this dynasty, not less than eight years being Prime Minister of Austria. Under the Auersperg the palais became a center of social life, to a venue of glittering parties and gala evenings. So, for example, there took place the wedding of a granddaughter of King Gustav Adolf of Sweden with King Albert of Saxony. Or three years later a dance evening in October 1856, where the then 26-year-old Emperor Franz Joseph and his wife Elisabeth and all members of the imperial family attended.
A dazzling chapter of Austrian history is reflected in the history of the Palais Auersperg. But when the brilliance of that time came to an end forever, the end of the novel of that palace had not yet been written. The equally intimate and proud house initially, however, only accommodated the Bundesdenkmalamt (National Heritage Agency) and seemed such to forget its great social and political past modestly and without attracting attention. That this subsequently was not the case shows a simple plaque on the main front. It says: "In 1945 gathered in this house Austrian patriots, prevented the destruction of Vienna, laid the foundation for a free Austria in memory of the victims, the Austrian resistance movement". This succinct report is nothing to add. Perhaps only that under these patriots known names are to be found such as the later Chancellor Leopold Figl and the ones of the later to become Federal Presidents Theodor Körner and Dr. Adolf Schärf. Thus, the wide arc spans from the Postmaster General Rofrano up to the most important politicians of the present time and the number of the prominent guests continues, no matter how the times and forms of government may have changed.
And where the Wiener settles delightfully quietly, he also for his ear wants his pleasure and so the intimate Auersperg concerts - as ever - today, once again, count among the musical tidbits. Where, however, the ear indulges itself, the eye must not be neglected. In order that no lack should occure in this regard, since generations artists have made provisions. Whether it's the magnificent building itself, at the same time solid and graceful, or the lovely park with its huge old trees in whose shade the Empress Maria Theresa sat or the elegant library, the preciously paneled loggia or the conservatory, Walter Slezak referred to it as "Schönbrunn in small film format" - everywhere reigns those well-kept, quiet serene harmony that you can not produce, that needs to grow in long years by itself, just like the house has grown, built on an old brick factory on the outskirts of the city and today belonging to the lively centerpiece of this city where still society, art and politics are giving each other their fertile rendezvous.
This is my wife a few weeks ago. I'm happy to say that on 3 December we had a little girl, but this is her still in there
Expect an interesting experience inside.

We expected our new Lidl to open in time for Christmas. At this rate we'll do well to get in for Easter! Somebody dug a big trench leading in and then disappeared.
Wasn't expecting to post a checkup on the former Southaven Hancock Fabrics location today, but whaddya know, here I go! l_dawg2000 first alerted me to some paper covering the windows of the shuttered store a couple of months ago, and on a subsequent drive-by I noticed nothing other than a construction company sign and some Sharpied letters behind the bars of the double door: BAM. Books-a-Million briefly came to mind, but I dismissed the thought quickly, since they already have a location in the next-door Southaven Towne Center. (cont.)

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
That was what was printed on his shirt and the both of them seemed absolutely confused when they first saw a camera pointed their way.
Was taking solo pictures of Michelle when I saw Roy walking towards her from behind.
Just in time :D

It had just started to rain slightly - a typical Irish Summer shower - when I took this. Judging by the way this lady had her sunglasses I guess she thought that it might not last and I had to conclude that she was half expecting sunshine!

I've come to expect great things from Macy's, since their holiday window displays are always so over the top, but this year everything was so... average.
Don't get me wrong, Macy's always puts up wonderful displays but it looks as if they weren't really trying so hard this year. Don't rest on your laurels, Macy's! I know that you're capable of amazing things. Let's see it next season!
As I fully expected, the original Southaven Wendy's is now reopen, and *everything* about it was remodeled. They even tore the whole building down just so the foundation could be redone :P Despite the window reflections in the top part of the photo, I was fairly pleased with how it turned out.

We actually made it to the burn this year! We didn't sleep through it.
poi, spinning fire.

June 11, 2016.
... Read my blog at ClintJCL at wordpress.com
BACKSTORY: Well, that was a crazy burn! So much shit I never expected to do, at WickerMan Burn 2016!
- Damaged Carolyn's car on the way in so that it permanently squeaks, except it got better by the time we left
- Ate a tequila worm (so much more chewing than you would imagine!) when naked-goddess-bartender poured me one, randomly. (I had to check that it wasn't something from the woods)
- Watched fireworks so dangerously close that I needed first aid for a burned eyeball (could this be why the vision in that eye went bad this year?)
- Learned to weave. On a loom. And wove some. Took video of weaving.
- worried about this spleen issue I have that is starting to feel less like a pain, and more like an actual tumor that you can distinctly feel on one side (still hurting as of 2017, CT Scan found nothing)
- controlled huge flamethrowers with laserbeams & buttons
- fun stuff on top of a 20-ft wooden ziggurat art installation (Carolyn was too scared to go up!)
- Watched a firework fireball zoom past Carolyn's head (she didn't even flinch) and catch the ground on fire 1 foot from her feet
- Made out with both members of a couple (beards can be soft?)
- Bounced in a moon bounce
- Saw Carolyn fall off a bounce-house ramp, tumbling in mid air, as onlookers screamed (one massage later, she's fine)
- Played with propane bubbles (cover hand, stick in fire, watch self burn) with zero regard for my safety or even knowing what they were ("other people aren't dying when they do this, so i'll do this, whatever this is. no, i won't ask anybody any questions about it or learn anything safety-related")
- Treated 2nd degree cooking burn with actual aloe leaves someone bundled up, just in case. Only had to walk 20 feet from my camp! No relation to previous bullet point.
- Tried [REDACTED]
- Used logical deduction to guide a damsel in distress to her campsite that she could not find, even though I had never been there. (If you want to flatter me, make me feel like Aragorn. I also accept pints of cherry tomatoes & great conversation)
- Received tons of compliments about my hair & badass cartoon shirt (and about my brain) (but I get that a lot... it's the others I'm not so used to)
- Worried about Andrea in rehab. Did all kinds of crazy things to maintain connectivity to check up on her. A lotta good that did. RIP, Andrea.
- Learned to always great one specific person with "Hi, Clint!" (Her name is not Clint. This is how she prefers greetings.)
- Wore My Little Pony boxer-briefs around strangers
- Sent video from the middle of the woods with a phone that only works when plugged in (tricky)
- Met the creator of games I've played for 15 yrs, & found out that the vintage set of game pieces my aunt found me in a thrift store are so rare that he was re-telling people about our set... Even when we weren't even there. So honored! To tell the man who invented Fluxx thatyou had the original Fluxx back when that was the only Fluxx you could get was awesome, too.
- But to make a reference to a specific episode of 2 Stupid Dogs to the creator of Fluxx, and have him know it and repeat it back... Wow.
- Chastised by Channy for not knowing how to spell my own name on facebook, becuase she wanted pictoral proof of my story that did not believe -- that the deer shit that came out of the deer when my Bonneville was totalled (while driving back from Dirk's) had splattered onto my car in the shape of Pluto the Dog's face. I totally sent her that picture!
- Lost 1 of 2 cameras, resulting in our pictures being quite incomplete (gee, real Burnery of whoever found it to not bother giving it back. If I find someone else's camera, I guess this means I'll have to keep it to break even?)
- Learned I can consistently inhale an entire nitrous oxide cartridge in one lungful
- Randomly given 2 beers by someone, only to ask to see her face, and, after introductions, us all realizing we already know each other already and are FB friends already (wtf?! what are the odds?!)
Saw a truck covered in fire driving down the mountain like nothing was going on. Overheard: "Are you seeing that? Is that real?"
Phew? Did I get everything? I don't know! One night, I never saw my camp during the night time, at all.
The 255 has stuck with old E200 Darts forever but for its new contract, it's been given a new fleet of GB Kites which look rather smart and have all the tech you'd expect of a new bus.
This is a short route being the only Thornton Heath (TH) route to touch Norbury and it's also weird in that the southbound is fairly direct but the northbound run starts at the Yorkshire Road estate area, turns right, then right again before rejoining the main road.
LV24EKU (EKL2) is at Old Devonshire Road on a run to Pollards Hill via Streatham Hill and Norbury.
The Argiope spider I found at school a few days ago made a golf ball sized egg sac last night or early this morning. The eggs will hatch later this fall, but the little spiders won't emerge from the sac until spring.
Wasn't expecting to see these in Rainham today!, and these vehicles were on SouthEastern Trains Rail Replacement Service to and from Rochester, and this was the best I could do of these vehicles due to Rainham's crampt Station and traffic problems, infact I think that Ranham is possibly one of the most depressing places I've ever been for photography second only to Tunbridge and Gravesend.

Ok, so this is my first time to make a sim like this! lol
It's called Alternative, and I'm not really sure if she is alternative. hehe
EFF PEEE! This is for you! LOL. :) I owe you for saving my Jamali. :p
An indoor photography day. The weather's really bad and we're expecting 90km/h winds on the ground on 4 April, which will be much worse here up on the 36th floor. I've had to move everything inside. The last time we got winds like that, a lot of people's balconies got damaged and lots of windows were smashed. This area's just skyscrapers, so you can imagine the amount of stuff that ends up flying in the air and hitting the ground at speed! The debris on the ground after the last really bad storm was incredible.
365: Day 239.
Active Assignment Weekly: Dark/black background assignment.
I have made this as dramatic as I can, as per the brief. I upped the saturation and contrast and cropped the photo. I used a black cardboard background. We don't have any movable lights apart from the flashlights on our phones, so for this photo, I used the flash and I had every single light on in the area - 4 in the kitchen area, 2 in the lounge area and 1 in the hall.
I let the water boil in our smallest saucepan until it was shaking the lid. Water started flowing out around the sides and it was messy, but it's only water, so it was easy to clean up! I 1/500 sec. f/8, 29.59 mm, ISO 640.
Wasn't expecting to see this in Dartford today, and this vehicle was on SouthEastern Trains Rail Replacement Service to and from Lewisham.

I never expected to see many egrets in Nevis, but luckily for me I accidentally discovered a Rookery right by the beach we went to one day. I had taken a walk to photograph beach scenes when this one appeared out of nowhere and lead me to one of the best kept secrets on the island. Thank you little buddy!
This is a handmade cradle that was made for me back when I had my son, and now we have lovingly given it a facelift and it's ready to receive the next generation of the family.
Tomorrow is the big day!
Of course this baby is scheduled to arrive during the worst storm of the entire season here in our area, but I don't care. I'll get to the hospital if I have to hook a team of huskies up to a sled! Nothing is going to keep me from being one of the 1st people to greet my new granddaughter!
Next time I check in with you all, I'll be Grandma Jude....aka Gramcat! 8-)

Really wasn't expecting to see this in Dover today!, and this vehicle had brought School Groups to Dover Castle, which in winter still opens on Tuesdays and Thursdays for School Groups, and a thank you to Regents Coaches Bus Driver Mark Smith for the tip off that this was up here.

Yes I'm back again.
However due to my main computer on which I edit my work being struck down with a big bad virus, this picture and all the others I am uploading, were Unedited but have now been replaced with Edited versions. So enjoy and Thanks for your patience and understanding.
I do still hate everything about this shit that is new Flickr and always will, but an inability to find another outlet for my work that is as easy for me to use as the Old BETTER Flickr was, has forced me back to Flickr, even though it goes against everything I believe in.
I don't generally have an opinion on my own work, I prefer to leave that to other people and so based on the positive responses to my work from the various friends I had made on Flickr prior to the changes I have decided to upload some more of my work as an experiment and to see what happens.
So make the most of me before they delete my acount: www.flickr.com/photos/69558134@N05/?details=1, to stop me complaining!!
Normally one would expect this froglet to quickly fall prey to this snake. However, under the circumstances, the act of taking the photo modified the natural behaviour and caused sufficient stress that normal predatory response was disrupted. As a photographer, it's always worth questioning one's own impact upon the scene. As a viewer it's also incumbent to ask oneself if the scene is truly natural, or whether it has been physically or digitally manipulated.
