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.
A mother's joy begins when new life is stirring inside... when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time, and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone.

As expected the food was served on a tiered stand. The plate at the top contained most of the sandwiches and salty items (except for the sponge cake). It had the egg salad, bloaters, and cream cheese sandwiches. Sadly, it didn't contain cucumber sandwiches.
The second tier contained the scones. They were served with clotted cream and jam.
The last plate contained the sweet items. No Battenberg or fruit cake for us. Instead, we had lemon poppy seed cupcakes, macaroons and pecan squares. The plate contained a small dish of chocolate sauce.
Michael lifts his rifle. "You are going to die.. cause no one is ever going to know what happened here.. " he says plainly. "Open up the door and walk.. " he commands.
Guin freezes. No, this is not how it's supposed to go. "No one has to know," she says lowly, trying to get through to him but backing out the door, just in case. "The man was unstable. OD'd. Out of our control. Get the place vaccinated tomorrow, and we're all good. Just... put that down... "
Michael stiffens in his stance. "Tell me first protocal steps in any Bio lockdown!" he barks at you. "Tell me what Semper Fi means!"
Guin feels a surge of unfiltered panic, hands tightening into fists. "Always faithful," she manages, through a closed throat. That one, she'd known, thank you, grandpere... "And I don't know, off the top of my head, with a rifle trained on me. Seal the contaminated area. Call in the biohazard crew to clean the place.. "
Michael moves suddenly bringing his rifle forward and reversing it to swing it at her stomach, the rifle butt first.
Guin holds her breath again, every muscle tense. Her eyes are on the rifle, on his fingers caressing the trigger... there's no time to prepare as he swings the rifle around. The air leaves her lungs in a rush, the impact jarring her spine. Eyes wide, she falls to her knees, unable to draw a full breath. She looks up at him in shock, gaping like a fish out of water.
Michael follows up the attack as he was already moving to finsh it .. sweeping up and with a quick jab down he drives the rifle butt down aiming for the temple of the female's head.
Alayna somehow managed to calm herself and get out of the med bay, she was headed right for the computer terminal.
Guin reaches up as if to stall him, or knock away the gun. The overhead light glints off metal as it arches in her direction. She reacts on instinct, lunging forward... she catches a glimpse of the woman, but can't speak. Something hard slams into her temple--everything is on fire. She prays the woman talks him down, and fights to stay conscious. "They'll come looking," she gasps. "If you kill me... "
Michael knees her savagely .. aiming for her head as she lunged into the attack, to put her to the ground. His head snaps around to Noel. "We're breached.. don't say ANYTHING in the open.. no transmissions.. no computer.. they set us up.. and I am going to finsh it.. no one ever needs to know! Just watch her!" He moves up to the door to card through.
Alayna paused and turned. She wasn't a soldier, not like him. "I'll....I'll watch her."
Michael moves along the corridor .. his rifle tracking.. seeing no one there he continues down the corridor.. finger on the trigger.
Guin collapses, stars exploding behind her eyes. His words come from a great distance, but it's impossible for her to think. "Help me," she whispers, trying to turn her head to the woman. Trying to open her eyes. "You don't want... the base coming... expecting me... " She groans, blackness closing in. She beats it back, focusing on something. Sly smile. Quiet voice. A cat's laugh. "Let me go. Before he comes back... I won't report... " Her words are slurred as she crawls toward the woman. She can taste blood, as it drips into her mouth.

My 2nd maternity shoot. Tried a few without the backdrop this time as the colours looked pretty good. Also, there wasn't loads of room to set up the backdrop due to the shape of the room.
For the shots without the backdrop I used both my Sony F42 flashguns with white shoot-through umbrellas.
For the backdrop shots I had a bare flash behind the backdrop and one camera right with a reflector on the floor aiming back up into Matt & Kiley.
i had my first track meet of the season on Thursday, which was great. I got 3rd in 100, 2nd in 200, 3rd in longjump, and our 4x4 team got 1st. Which means that we just might win league this year!
Anyways, we went to my friend Allison's grandpa's house (she's in the picture before this one) and the hills were supposed to be covered in flowers, but they weren't. Plus the light was crap. So, we wandered up and down the mountain and tried to find shade that wasn't too dark (reflector coming in the mail, thank goodness). I think i got a few good ones, but I am afraid of getting too repetitive in shoots.
But i am so happy. I feel like i've rediscovered photography.
p.s. meet kelsey(:

There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.
One, to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.
The other, to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days, staring at the shine
quietly.
Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.
I face myself to change tomorrow, a vague day into something certain.
That is the meaning of a rebirth.
I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.
After she left, I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After
she left, how many times did I depend too much on her, doubt her, envy her and keep on telling lies
until I realized it is love?
I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the
daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.
I had been thinking about such a thing.
However, I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see
something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me, a guy filled with ambiguous, unstable
tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.
Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

On the 11th April 2018 I visited Hythe village for the very first time. Not really knowing what to expect I found it a very beautiful village on the banks of the Southampton water. Hythe is a town near Southampton, Hampshire. It is located by the shore of Southampton Water, and has a ferry service connecting it to Southampton. Hythe has a small shopping area, a pier, and a very picturesque marina for yachts.
The name Hythe means landing place or haven. Hythe is recorded in a Parliamentary roll from 1293. The Hythe ferry to Southampton is marked on a map by Christopher Saxton of 1575, and on a map by John Harrison in 1788. Hythe was part of the parish of Fawley, although it became a separate parish in 1841. The current church, of Saint John the Baptist, was erected in 1874. It is of red brick with Bath Stone dressings. There were at one time even stocks in the village.
Thanks in part to the British Power Boat Company and it’s excellent access to the English Channel, during World War II Hythe was used as a port for the little ships of the Royal Navy as they were then known, the Motor Torpedo Boats and the RAF Air Sea Rescue Boats. In 1960, The Hovercraft Development Company and Sir Christopher Cockerell, who was the founder, moved to Hythe, he did in fact live in one of the houses near to the marina. There was also a small Royal Air Force base in Hythe known as RAF Hythe. Until its closure in September 2006 it was used by the United States Army to service and maintain watercraft.
Hythe was a village up to the 1950’s, but the expansion of Fawley Refinery, now closed, led to a demand for more houses for workers, and Hythe and Dibden Purlieu were allowed to expand into a small town. In 1983, following the growth of Hythe, the parish of Dibden was renamed to Hythe and Dibden, to reflect the importance of Hythe as a new focal point of the Parish
Hythe has a small shopping area clustered around the High Street, which includes a Waitrose Supermarket, a public library, several charity shops, and various small independent retail shops and cafes. The Hythe Pier, Railway and Ferry operates across Southampton Water to Southampton, and is the oldest working pier train in the world. Hythe's position makes it a good viewing point for watching ocean liners arriving and departing at the port of Southampton, which attracts ship spotters to the area. Hythe has a marina, at which a large number of yachts and boats are moored. Large and expensive houses are situated around the marina, overlooking the waterside. This is controlled by large lock gates at the entrance leading out to Southampton Water.
The pier, railway and ferry service are currently operated by Blue Funnel Ferries of Southampton. In October 2016 the previous owners ( White Horse Ferries ) warned their staff of potential redundancy which suggested an uncertain future from the pier and ferry service. After months of talks, Mr. Lee Rayment of Blue Funnel Ferries completed negotiations to acquire the Pier, Train and Ferry with operations starting on 21 April 2017. The railway is the oldest continuously operating public pier train in the world. Hythe Pier stretches 700 yards ( 640 metres ) from the centre of Hythe to the deep water channel of Southampton Water. It is approximately 16 feet ( 4.9 metres) wide, and carries a pedestrian walkway and cycle~way on its northern side and the Hythe Pier Railway on its southern side. During normal high tides the pier is 4 feet ( 1.2 metres ) above the surface of the water. In 1922 the railway was finally reconstructed and electrified, attaining its current form as seen today. The track is laid to 2 ft ( 610 mm ) narrow gauge and is electrified at 250 V DC by a third rail on the seaward side of the track.
Mike decided to make a run for my civilians. But we are the Ijad! We treasure life! And we don't like to lose our victory points!
I had to call my whole army back to fight him. He found himself in a two front situation, fighting me on one side and Rich on the other. It went about like you'd expect.
In the end, Mike lost two frames, leaving him with 9 points. I fought him (and won), and that managed to yield me 15. Michele Mishko (who filled in for Bill, who had to attend to con duties) ended with 15 as well, and Rich ended with 21, having really benefitted from Mike and me getting into a furball.
The news from China's earthquake continues to get worse. The death toll is now expected to be over 50,000 with 20,000 confirmed dead and another 30,000 still buried in rubble. As it is 4 days since the earthquake occured, the chances of finding survivors is slim. A further 102,000 were injured. The immensity of the tragedy is hard to comprehend. We hope and pray that those who are grieving will be comforted in some way. Also supplies of food, water, clothes and shelter still need to get through to some areas.
Those wanting to help in a practical way can consider donating to the Red Cross Society of China.
On Monday night, the same day the earthquake occured, we went to a dance performance with some friends. It was based on a Legend of the Zhuang Ethnic Minority. The Zhuang people had always wondered what the end of the sky looked like. A young pregnant woman volunteers to find out. She leaves the tribe and embarks on her journey of discovery. Along the way, she gives birth to a son and raises him. As he grows up, she begins to grows old, still not having reached the end of the sky. Eventually, she dies and her son inherits the dream of his mother, and the entire Zhuang people. The journey continues, one generation after another, in search of their dream. An excellent video of a different dance performance of the same story can be seen at Youtube (Length: 6:29 note the first minute or so is intentionally silent).
* A 107Mby MP4 phone video in 3 parts, lasting 6m 20secs.

* Right-click on the down-arrow option, the last of the three options to the lower right of the video frame. Select 'Save-As' and view..
** It has just come to my notice (10/12/23) that the Download option below and to the right of the media _does not_ allow you to download the full version, only the 3 minutes available here. So, I am going to try and 'fix' this for all videos lasting more than 3 minutes, this is the link to obtain the full version shown here-

This was the original text, but the video has now been extended by the inclusion of the 2nd and 3rd parts, never shown, taking the ride from Worksop back to Darnall, the video stops in Orgreave, at Orgreave Lane over-bridge.
Finally, a video sequence, taken through the window of our DMU service back to Darnall, where two of us had left out cars to get the train into Worksop at 11 this morning. The video was shot on my Samsung S7 phone and through the window of the class 144, 'rocking and rolling' along. It shows the rake of coaches and the class 345, 345023, sat on the nearest siding road to the main lines, albeit at the other side of the palisade fence which surrounds the HArry Needle's Yard. At this time, about 13:45, the rake of VTEC coaches and the rear DVT, 82226, have been reversed onto the line next to the Electric Unit and the DVT can be seen poking out beyond the line of grey/blue Electric Unit coaches. Some information about the 345 units, brought up from the Queen Elisabeth line in London-
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_345
At some point, the Yard will become much fuller and there is, we were informed, to be other classes and sets brought here for both storage and maintenance, so it looks like the place will be very lively indeed, though not accessible to photographers, easily... shame a viewing platform couldn't have been erected somewhere to facilitate the enthusiast requirements ... apologies for the various background noises! (this has now been dealt with to a large extent).
The additional parts, from Wales to Woodhouse and from Woodhouse to Orgreave, have now been included so that the full 'glory' of the Lincoln Line journey can be seen, taken with Adrian Wynn in June, 2019. Various other interesting aspects of the ride back, edited to last just over 6 minutes, can be viewed in the latter two sections..

How We Learn
NPR's "Tell Me More" 8:30 - 9:00 AM doors open, breakfast served; 9:00 - 10:00 AM LIVE SHOW
8:30 am - 10:00 am MDT on Tuesday, July 2, 2013
(Tickets Required) Join NPR's "Tell Me More" for three captivating discussions: In the first, we look at the ways innovations in education are transforming learning experiences for today’s students. Gone are the days when music class was just about listening to Mozart and math class was taught the same way to every student. For the second discussion, we hear from Shabana Basij-Rasikh, who was willing to risk her life in her native Afghanistan for an education. She would finish high school in the United States, eventually graduating from Middlebury College two years ago. Now she speaks about a school she co-founded in Afghanistan that helps young women access education at home and abroad. And finally, we address parenting your twentysomething. No shortage of articles have been written about young people in their twenties, who aren’t making enough money but are making less-than-stellar life decisions. Yet, some suggest that rather than expecting the worst from our 20-year-olds, we ought to set the bar high.

I wasn’t expecting much when I took this combo to the San Diego County Fair. There were tons of people, and while it wasn’t the warmest day the California sun was still kind of harsh. I was planning to just take some tourist snapshots here and there and figure out if I love the bokeh the lens produces under sunlight. The moment I put my eye to the viewfinder and turned the focus ring, I saw magic. The bokeh was exactly what I had been seeking for years - busy yet painterly, and all the other tourists were no longer distractions but became part of the Impressionist art that was brushed up rather casually. I also saw some best focus falloff I have ever seen, and there was a sense of depth even in the bokeh. The highlight handling is incredible too, as if the lens somehow softened the harsh sunlight. The subject had an organic look with the right amount of nice glow. Soft wideopen? Perhaps. Do I care? Certainly no!
As expected, the winter storm has brought several inches of snow to our region and more is forecast today. The windy weather has caused outages around our service area, primarily in South and East King County especially the Enumclaw and Snoqualmie areas.
An unexpected surprise when I went to Spinneys to run some errands. It's a shame that I didn't have my DSLR with me...
A Short Video if it:
In light of expected privatisations and large financing gaps in infrastructure, energy and other sectors across the region, effective capital markets platforms are becoming increasingly important. This session explored how financial hubs such as the Astana International Financial Centre can facilitate channeling of domestic and international investment to catalyse growth as well as set standards in relation to corporate governance, skills and green innovation.
