Mummy wasn't expecting an artistic masterpiece, but doesn't think it's too much to ask of Lati for them to paint the lip creases evenly.
(Seriously, why is my basic Coco's face-up so much better than the face-up on an LE that cost $100 more? ~_~) Need to find someone to repaint both.... le sigh.
The reason #2 why I'm kind of cranky is that I noticed her original hands are screwed up--there is dirt embedded in the resin. Ahh, well... I'll give her the prayer hands if/when they come.
Edit: I just noticed one of her wings is broken. Clearly my Pury is cursed~~ ._.
The hair looked pretty bad, but it really wasn't.
There was a white thread in the top of her head so I guess she had a tiara on.

It took me a lot longer than I had expected to get these pictures up from last weekend, but it's been hard to find time between my job and volunteering. Taking pictures just has not been the most important thing for me at this point, but nevertheless I will continue squeezing the shutter whenever I can. Hopefully, we will all be able to see dramatic transformation of these areas back into their original beauty, but it is clearly a long road ahead.
If you live in the area and wish to help, please contact me and I will send you a list of volunteer centers throughout Miyagi as well as a list of important equipment to bring with you. If you do decide to volunteer, please go with an organized group and bring the necessary equipment. I don't mean to frighten anyone, but I was notified again today that there still are dangerous areas. Don't go alone, please.
Here is a video that I took of the area the same day I took these pictures:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=CazswZd454o
The area that these pictures were taken, was utterly obliterated by the tsunami. After a few hours of hauling items back and forth between my friends' destroyed home, I started to get a headache and feel sick from the fumes. In my last post, I also mentioned that I had heard of people setting off explosions and starting fires from trying to light their cigarettes.
We worked amidst pure devastation for about 5 Hours, however we were only able to salvage a handful of their things. Sometimes it was hard to know what was theirs, since the tsunami had swept a whole city worth of belongings through the first floor of their home.
Surprisingly, the four-year-old house was in pretty good shape despite the fact that it was blown back off of its foundation about 200 feet and sat about 10-15 degrees off of level (in the video I said 60 feet, but I meant to say 60 meters. The distance and angle is still a total guess, but you can judge for yourself in the pictures/video). The structure of house was in such good condition, that we were able to walk up to the second floor and salvage most of the dry, smaller items. Their daughter was just given a brand new bed and desk-set as an elementary graduation present, but we unfortunately could not take it out.
The reason we needed to go and salvage what we could as quickly as possible was because the house, although it did not look like it, was sitting in the middle of a road. The city and self defense force had given them only a few more days to clear out before they would have to bulldoze it down.
I asked the family if they had tsunami insurance, but apparently there is no tsunami insurance. They will receive a small amount of money from the government, but it will not even come close to covering the damage they sustained.
The most dumbfounding part of that day for me was not surreal experience of walking through the total destruction of an entire town, but rather the laughing and smiling that came from a family who just lost everything- everything except each other. Items and worldly possessions are of little value against the people we hold dear. I tried to reciprocate the smiles, laughter, and healthy conversation (especially in light of the children), but it wasn't easy fighting off the grim emotions lurking below the surface.
This last weekend, I was able to volunteer for a short time in Downtown Ishinomaki and also take a few more pictures/video The downtown area seems to be getting a lot more attention, and about half of the roads seem traversable. Downtown also felt incredibly safe during the day time due to the dozens of police and military (both Japanese and US) walking the streets and distributing food and water at the camps. I will post those pictures later this week.
I know my website is in shambles right now (I just have not had time), but I'm hoping to have it looking nicer as soon as possible. I've never really sold anything from my website, but I'm going to donate all of the money I earn from ANY of the pictures I sell (not just the quake photos) to Red Cross Japan for at least the next year. Please take it into consideration. Here is my site:
In addition, I contributed many of my pictures to QUAKEBOOK.org, and if you have never heard this organization, PLEASE check them out as well. All of Quakebook's revenue will also go towards the Red Cross Japan.
Lastly, you can contribute directly to Red Cross Japan here:

We've had a lot of doggie drama around here since Ruff died. We never realized just how important he was to Pleasure and Minnie. The girls spent days just staring at his dog house, and moping around the yard. Then one day, we came home to find Minnie gone. She must have jumped over the fence. We kept expecting her to come home, but it's been almost 2 months now, and we can't find her anywhere. I still expect to see her waiting for us down by the creek whenever we come home from a drive.
With Minnie gone, Pleasure became even more miserable, and we were becoming very worried about her. Then one day, we realized she was pregnant. What a surprise! We thought Ruff was feeling too bad to breed, but he must have wanted to leave a legacy behind him, and he did. He gave us 5 puppies. Well, maybe 4. The black puppy is very suspect.
This is Ruffles, and we plan on keeping her. But the others are all available for adoption.
As a side note, Pleasure is a happy dog again.

We're expected to have the hottest, muggiest weather of the year all this week. I'll be doing just one breif dressing session a day, for a total of four. I begin with this blue suit-dress...
I love the way this dress clings to all my curves ~ especially my ass, as seen in the picture labeled 7-15-3.
The dress is by Jenny found in a thrift shop in August 2011; the shoes are Bumper white patent sandals, bought at Burlington Coat Factory in July 2008. Other accessories are white hat, gloves, and silver jewelry. The heat keeps my legs bare.
Just wanted to show off my Jason, Dick and Tim figures. And Bruce with his new clothing. Some credit to SB for the Dick figure.
The site has remained derelict since the closure of the Rainbow Rapids in 1997 and has attracted a lot of protest from various interested persons, groups and organisations over an extended period of time.
The redevelopment of Dún Laoghaire’s old baths began earlier this year and it is planned that the new public area will become operational early in 2020. The project will include the retention of the existing baths building and the development of a new pedestrian walkway between the promenade at Newtownsmith and the rear of the east pier. However, the site will not include a public swimming facility. A €9 million contract for the development of the site was signed between Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and the SIAC and Mantovani construction group. The project is expected to cost around €10 million in total and has been part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund.
The public swimming baths at Dun Laoghaire originally date from the 1790s but were demolished in 1836 to make way for the new railway line. The old Victorian Baths complex was originally opened in 1842 and then rebuilt by the town council in 1908. In 1843, John Croswaithe built baths on the corner of Scotsman’s Bay. Originally known as the Royal Victoria Baths but access was limited to people with money. Kingstown Urban District Council bought the baths in the late 1890s and renovated them between 1905 and 1911 at a cost of £11,000. This is when they became known as Kingstown Baths, and later Dun Laoghaire Baths. During the 1970s heated indoor pools were added as well as a water fun park known as Rainbow Rapids. The complex was repainted in 2012 but remained in an advanced stage of dereliction until 2018.

miri settled into her new home quickly, she had no choice, somehow she had stumbled into a camp of Mercenaries and her new Mistress, although kind expected perfection.
The Commander held Honour even though in miri's eyes he lived for coin, not the codes of a true Warrior as her Father had, he was charismatic and fierce, miri learnt from the very first day that she was not to speak unless commanded and if she thought the Commander was a Man to be feared then his slaves, were even more formidable. The four of them wielded power amongst the girls, anger them and you roused the ire of their Master, not a wise choice. For the new slave adjusting and fitting in to their world became the battle she fought each and every day. As the sun rose she became the first to rise from her furs, tending to her Mistress's needs and then the camps and it wasn't until the late evening before she could again put her weary body down into the plush fur of her kennel.
The rewards for her efforts were great, the deep sense of satisfaction that she held in her heart fathomless. Each day brought her a better understanding of what it truly meant to be a slave, to hold in her soul the quiet acquiesce, to toil physically from sun up to sun down, to never question her duties. It was here that miri lost the remaining pride of a Free Woman.
More each day she aquired new skills, she perfected herself, honing what she had learnt and because of her fortitude the side effect was she earned respect amongst her fellow slaves.
Her Mistress travelled and often she would take miri with her, she recruited expert bowman, swordsman and and array flocked to her shining eyes and mannerisms, they envied the slaves of the Camp on the nights great feasts were held, each slave more beautiful than the next, the array handpicked and if miri was lucky she was allowed to entertain with her dancing, the more she felt her slavery the more lovely she became, twisting and turning, her body an instrument to her desires, writhing in her womanhood and vulnerability. The former Free Woman was no longer, although she remained the quiet one, often sitting in the peripheral of the Master views however on one fateful day a Man walked into the Camp with her Mistress, miri's breathe caught in her chest as he was given a tour, for some reason that she was yet to understand, she longed to be at his heel, her feelings did not go unoticed and as she worked feverishly one night in the kitchen of the Keep, for she could not sleep, it was quiet, peaceful to be alone, the roar of the fires, now and again crackling the only noises as she moved to the lounging area, her thoughts turned to Him... suddenly and without warning he caught her off guard, her heart leapt through her chest, the Master entered stealthily, he bore all the trademarks of a killer, she could sense his dark brooding, but didn't fear him, her curiousity was a stronger motivator, fate had something in store for the slave girl...
Fonte Official Slayer FB Page :
Slayer, the long-reigning titans of thrash, returns with Repentless, the band’s 11th studio album and its first album for Nuclear Blast. Produced by Terry Date, Repentless was written and recorded by guitarist Kerry King and singer/bassist Tom Araya at Henson Studios in Los Angeles, along with returning drummer Paul Bostaph and guitarist Gary Holt. Repentless is crushing and brutal, steadfastly refusing to cater to the mainstream.
Thirty-four years into its career, Slayer remains the preeminent punk-thrash band that helped establish the genre and that up-and-coming metal heads continue to revere and emulate. Slayer is a five-time nominated, two-time Grammy Award-winning metal juggernaut that writes songs which mirror the turmoil and aberrations of our society. Repentless, the band’s first new album in six years, continues the Slaytanic offensive with a twelve-song, blood-shaking sonic attack. Repentless is dark, fast, aggressive and without mercy. It was also the most challenging record Slayer has ever had to make.
In 2013 the world mourned the loss of guitarist Jeff Hanneman who died from complications following a two-year illness. A co-founder of Slayer, losing Jeff was very difficult for the band. During Jeff’s illness, friend of the band, guitarist Holt stepped in to help out on tour with Jeff’s blessing and stayed on. Around that time, drummer Dave Lombardo exited the band for the third time and Paul Bostaph, (who played with the band from 1992 – 2001), returned to take over the throne. Slayer never skipped a beat and since Holt and Bostaph both played in Exodus, it was all-in-the-thrash-family.
But it didn’t come easily. As guitarist and Slayer co-founder Kerry King puts it, “I remember the day that Jeff died. It was the day of the Revolver Golden Gods Awards. We knew he’d been sick but nobody expected it to be so quick. I assumed I’d be able to go out there and see him after I got done with whatever business I had to do and that day never came.
“We went out and toured afterwards to see how we felt about it. That’s what you do as a musician: you either go out and tour or you stop working. Even though we’d been touring for two years without Jeff, thinking he was going to come back, now there was finality to it. And the thing with Gary was that we were all friends. Exodus was the first band we’d ever met that became our friends immediately and we stayed friends throughout the years. Gary is just a guitar dynamo and he was the guy.”
Tom Araya agrees. “Jeff would want us to continue. I’d think that if something were to happen to someone else in the band, whoever it was would feel the same way. Just get on with it. Gary’s a friend, a friend of Jeff’s, he knew what was going on and he wanted to help in any way he could, so Gary made Slayer a comfortable place to be. Having Paul back was also a comforting feeling. He’s a former member and that’s the best thing about it. It wasn’t some other guy. Having Paul and Gary made everything a little easier to handle. It’s about the band. Slayer was a big thing for Jeff, and so I’m looking at it in that sense. It was his baby, too. And we hope we’ve done Slayer and him justice.”
King said that Slayer still had to test the water. “Now we were out to see if it made sense to continue, to see if we liked it, to see if the band still enjoyed it. And the way I looked at it was: if it wasn’t this, it was going to be something that sounded exactly like this, so why not continue doing this? It’s super-potent. We’re really tight right now and we’re stoked that we’re still doing it. Once we had that under our belts we started thinking about a record and never looked back.”
After two decades with American Recordings, Slayer found a new home with Nuclear Blast, the German independent label known for its metal roster. King is enthusiastic about the move, “I like it,” he declares, stressing the work like. “Having been with American for so long we wanted to give them first right of refusal because that’s how we are. I think continuity is far stronger than switching all the time. But at the end of the day, Nuclear Blast made us a great offer and so it was time to move on. At Nuclear Blast, people go to work, they do their job, get paid and they fuckin’ like it. All hands. So it was the right choice.”
When the time came, Slayer entered the studio with producer Terry Date. Date is the first producer the band has worked with since leaving American, where all their albums were produced or executive produced by Rick Rubin. On working with Date, Tom says, “He’d done all these great albums – Soundgarden, Pantera – and as a singer I need someone I respect who can tell me whether he likes it or not as opposed to telling me how to do something I’ve been doing for 30 years. He would guide me. That’s why I really liked working with him, because he was so cool. I regard him as a friend, for sure.”
Kerry adds, “It was as business as usual as it could be. The oddest thing for me was Jeff’s presence… not being there. When we were recording, in the past, whether he played or not, having him there and having his opinion and stuff like that: that was what I missed. Jeff’s not being there was the oddest thing.”
Gary Holt came on board to help out with tour commitments when Jeff first became ill. “My role in Slayer started out as a tour and happened to come when I was taking time off from Exodus and I spoke to Kerry who asked if I could help out. I went down to rehearsal and Jeff showed me some things. I’ve known Jeff forever but it wasn’t until his memorial that I learned how much of his blessing I really had. At the end of the day, we all wanted Jeff to come back and then tragedy struck; so here we are five years later and Repentless is coming out and I think Jeff would have loved it. I’m super-excited. It’s a good feeling and I know it’s got to be a great feeling for Tom and Kerry for all the work they’ve done – and Paul as well. Everybody’s excited.”
Repentless marks the return of drummer Paul Bostaph, who was extremely enthusiastic.
“Before I was in the band I was a fan and just because I’m the drummer doesn’t mean I stop being a fan: it just means my tickets are cheaper. After I left in 2002 I never thought I’d be sitting on the drum throne with the band again. This particular style of music delivers something for me, musically and physically, that’s challenging and exciting. I feel better as a player and I’m more mature and the band is maturing and getting better, like fine wine. It feels natural to be back and it’s good to be back with Kerry and Tom. The San Francisco Bay-area metal scene is very tight knit: everybody knows everybody. I consider Slayer to be part of that even though they’re from Southern California. Gary I played together in Exodus and he’s amazing – one of the godfathers of thrash with Exodus – so it’s like coming home for me. And we’re having fun and I think if we weren’t having fun we wouldn’t be doing this.”
Repentless marks a number of transitions for the band but with their undisputed attitude, Slayer emerges triumphant, says Tom. “After 35 years, the thing that Kerry and I share is our dedication to the band, and Jeff’s included in that. It’s the same with Gary. He’s been doing this a long time and he’s had the same commitment. It’s a common bond we share with a lot of musicians out there. I’m really excited about the new album, we’ve put a lot of work into it, Kerry especially, and it was all for Slayer.”
Repentless is loaded with sensational songs, from the hyper-aggressive metallic blasts of the title track, “Take Control”, “Implode” and “Atrocity Vendor” to the ferocious thrash pounding of “Vices” “When The Stillness Comes” and “Pride In Prejudice” the album is Slayer through and through. For Paul Bostaph it’s simple: “The songs are awesome.”
Tom puts it bluntly, “This is definitely Slayer. No one will be disappointed with what we’ve done.”
For Kerry King, the feeling is mutual. “Musically for me – it’s certainly not an “I told ya so” because Jeff’s not a part of it – but I do know that a lot of people assumed Slayer’s not going to be functional with Dave not being here and Jeff never being here again. But we did it and it fuckin’ sounds like Slayer – period.”
Slayer's place in music history is secure as one of The Big Four (alongside Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax): they helped define the thrash-metal genre. With Repentless Kerry, Tom, Paul and Gary affirm that Slayer is unstoppable. Slayer continues fearlessly, aggressively and without contrition; and most importantly, fucking Slayer still rules!
The maiden voyage of an event that is expected to become an annual affair was held on Wednesday at McCombs Middle School. The Wellness Fair went very, well – well!
Thirty vendors were represented at booths in the gym but the show-stealers were out front where fire trucks and the Des Moines Police Department Bomb Squad were parked. In the backyard were a couple of obstacle courses; an inflatable version and a traditional one fashioned from automobile and tractor tires. Roaming the grounds was Cubbie Bear on behalf of the Iowa Cubs who would have easily been the BMOC (Big Mascot on Campus) if not for the inflatable soldier the US Army brought along.

I didn’t expect much of anything on Amtrak #3 until going through my photo and realizing the last Big Game Sticker unit was leading! I have no idea what it was doing all the way out at DG considering it was mainly used on eastern trains but it was definitely neat to see something I didn’t pay attention to often but wanted to always see!
Edit: I should point out that the same day I did see Amtrak 157 as well. Why is it significant? Well that unit used to be a Big Game Train unit (which I have seen with the sticker) way back then! So I guess I got two for two and a half lol
Ahhh! Time to pile on #346 Christmas train ride at the Colorado RailRoad Museum in Golden, Colorado. I expect the plan here was to mask the young-uns from seeing the hot dog and refreshment stand on the left. It's good that they have as many cars as Anthrax usually runs. I'd guess that some will have to wait for the next run. Sharp elbows will get awarded a ride in the cab or the cupola on the caboose; prize rides both in my opinion. There are new kiddie's faces at the cupola window on every ride. I'd say there would be a riot if they announced those rides would be available. Fight for them on your own.
As it worked, the staff said Sunday would be more sane, I say, scarcely any more. Everyone at the steam up got three loop rides. Area and other fans ought to make the trek; take your camera, empty and ready to go! The CRRM log is a Who's Who of worldly travelers. Rides for the kiddies of all ages started at 10:00 AM. This pile up is later morning.
They also do railroad modeling over here but they prefer modeling at a 12 inches to the foot scale. Eddie the slug and I were chatting up a storm with some of the unhired help by the round house. I spent time calling out all the hardware to fast Eddie and describing their utility. Knowledge that is too soon lost; especially on Eddie.
CRRM has done enormous work since last I spent time down there and the library was new. A recent roundhouse and turntable have been built as well as a complete narrow gauge loop for the all too popular steam ups. Everything seems new.
i wasnt expecting a good shot out of this...and somehow it just worked..
i got a haircut today for the wrestling season. i like it this short alot.. and i will probably have it for quite awhile. my first match is the saturday and im expecting to lose.. wahoo!
i havent been uploading alot recently, i hope this will change soon.. i just havent had much time.
I expect to find this one out of the cavity, and on a limb, one of these mornings. This was taken through my scope and about 95 yards.
Captured German weaponry, France. In the background the muddy field is visible along with horse-drawn guns and tree stumps. Ariel torpedoes or what the soldier calls 'pine apple The picture is dominated by a huge puddle or pond. At the front of the picture is a pile of grenades which a soldier is pointing to. It is believed that Ernest Brooks took this photograph.
The derogatory term for a German, 'Boche', originates from the French slang alboche, which was two words allemand (German) and caboche (pate, head) put together. Scenes such as this were commonly used as propaganda, intended to reaffirm resolve against the enemy.
[Original reads: 'OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN ON THE BRITISH WESTERN FRONT IN FRANCE. A great proof that the Boche did not expect to be pushed back is that there are several heaps of ammunition and bombs of all descriptions lying about. Ariel torpedoes or what the soldier calls 'pine apples.']
