Playing Jenga with your eyes closed, recon only on your sense of touch, could be quite challenging. Mural is picturing the moment before falling Jenga activates the sense of hearing, the moment in which it is possible for an expected surprise to happen.

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Illinois State Police (ISP) and the Illinois Tollway were joined by their industry partners today to kick off National Work Zone Awareness Week with a reminder to all Illinois motorists: Expect the unexpected driving
through work zones. To signal the start of construction season and call attention to the dangers of driving in work zones, Governor Bruce Rauner has signed a proclamation designating this week
as “Work Zone Safety Week” in Illinois.
“Construction season is underway. That means crews will be out working on the roads, often times just a few feet away from traffic,” said Acting Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn. “Please slow down and eliminate distractions while driving through work zones.
The rules are very simple: See orange. Slow down. Save lives.”
The theme for this year’s National Work Zone Awareness Week is “Expect the Unexpected.”
Whenever motorists are traveling through work zones, they need to be aware of sudden lane closures and shifts, the presence of construction equipment, changing traffic patterns and speeds, as well as a host of other factors that can make work zones potentially dangerous places. More than 4,300 motor vehicle crashes occur in Illinois work zones every year. Provisional data shows that 29 people, including three workers, were killed in Illinois work zone crashes in 2014.
“Construction work zones can be hazardous to motorists and workers alike,” said ISP Col. Mike Zerbonia. “Motorists should prepare for the unexpected by reducing speed and staying focused on the road ahead. Speeding and distracted driving in a work zone is a dangerous offense with tragic consequences.”
Speed and inattentiveness are major contributors to work zone crashes. Workers are not the only ones at risk, either. Statistics show that approximately 90 percent of all work zone fatalities are
motorists.
This year, IDOT will be expanding on the Smart Work Zone technology introduced last year. The system utilizes computers to relay travel times via digital message boards in advance of an interstate work zone so motorists are aware of any backups and can seek alternate routes. Speed
indicator boards will be deployed again this year to increase awareness of work zone speed limits.
Illinois State Police also will continue to operate photo enforcement vans as another measure to reduce speeds in work zones. Signs are posted prior to motorists entering work zones where photo enforcement vans are stationed, with a speed indicator board above the van to give drivers one last chance to slow down.
“With so much construction on the Illinois Tollway this year, it’s important for drivers traveling
in work zones to use caution at all times,” said Illinois Tollway Executive Director Kristi
Lafleur. “Tollway customers can avoid surprises in work zones by planning ahead and visiting
our website for the latest project information and tools to help plan your trip.”
Fines for speeding in work zones are $375 for first-time offenders and $1,000 for a second offense, whether or not workers are present. If workers are present, motorists can lose their driver’s license for up to 90 days after a second violation. The penalty for hitting a worker is a fine up to $10,000 and 14 years in prison.
In recent years, Illinois has adopted distracted driving laws that prohibit the use of all hand-held electronic devices while driving at all times, work zones included. The use of electronic
communications devices or any other electronic device, to text, e-mail, compose, read or send
electronic messages or access internet sites while driving a motor vehicle also is prohibited.

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(:
Acadia was expecting when L and I got these pictures... she is now the proud mama of EIGHT big, healthy pups! Four boys and four girls. :D She had them last night. I will post pics of them soon! :)

Wasn't expecting to see this in Hastings today, and this vehicle was on Southern Trains Rail Replacement Services to and from Rye, Hastings and Bexhill.

Have I mentioned the Austin Powers-cum-Victorian-bordello decor in our flat? This photo makes my room look a lot nicer than it actually is. I have a high ceiling and plenty of storage space, a queen-sized bed, and two molting bedside tables. Curtains cover two of the walls completely, which makes it seem like it was designed by a 10-year-old girl. Have yet to test out the brick heater in the corner, but come winter I expect it will be my best friend. (Note Butterstick impaled on a shoe-spray aerosol can near the window.)
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.

Expect things to get messy every time a toilet gets clogged. Good thing that most toilet clogging problems are simple and, most of the time, would not need the help of an emergency plumber. We have compiled simple steps to fix a clogged toilet in Cambridge. Your toilet will be...

Tamarasit, los partidos se fueron desarrollando entre la emoción y la tensión de las grandes finales "La Amistad".
La conclusión del torneo nº 19 que organiza la Web del Tenis La Amistad dejó un gran sabor de boca tanto a participantes como a organizadores y sponsors, la alta participación registrada durante todo el campeonato y la exquisita deportividad que reinó durante todo el torneo son signos de que el circuito "La Amistad" goza de una salud excelente y con unas expectativas esperanzadoras para el futuro del circuito.
El gran colofón de esta Liga 2009 lo pondrá la cena de clausura que se celebrará el próximo Viernes día 3 de Julio, como cada año la organización ha preparado una gran fiesta para celebrar el éxito del torneo y realizar la entrega de trofeos a todos los participantes y campeones, una noche que estará llena de sorpresas.
FINAL MASTERS
Jesús María Suárez y Jonathan Pérez volvían a encontrarse después de dos años en una final Masters de la Liga de Tenis La Amistad en un partido que se ha convertido ya en un clásico del circuito.
Jonathan Pérez comenzó titubeante en su juego y Jesús Mª se adelantó en el marcador al inicio del encuentro con un 3/0, poco a poco Jonathan se fue rehaciendo en el marcador, pero aun así Jesús gozó de una considerable ventaja para llevarse el primer set al disfrutar de un 5/3 y servicio para cerrar el partido, pero tras una serie de ventajas alternativas en este juego, Jonathan logró el break y juego a juego logró forzar el tie-break, de esa guisa se decidió el primer set con una ajustadísima muerte súbita que acabó ganando Jonathan 11/9.
La segunda manga quedó sin historia, con un Jonathan lanzado hacia la victoria y un Jesús tocado física y mentalmente tras el gran esfuerzo sin premio realizado en la primera manga, el partido se desdibujó y el buen momento físico y tenístico de Jonathan le dio el triunfo y su tercer titulo Masters de Liga de Tenis La Amistad
FINAL CHALLENGERS
Oliver A. Becker Y Rafa González se veían las caras de nuevo en una final Challenger de Liga de Tenis La Amistad, rememorando la final Challenger de la temporada 2006 de la que Oliver salió victorioso.
Pero Rafa quería sacarse la espinita del 2006 y comenzó el partido arrollador, mandando siempre en el juego y anulando por completo el poderío físico de Oliver, que aunque lo intentó en todo momento por activa y por pasiva no pudo nunca entrar en el partido. A pesar de no conseguir la victoria, Oliver se mostró satisfecho de haber logrado este segundo puesto en el cuadro Challenger y su presencia en la final es un resultado que confirma su gran progresión en los últimos años en el circuito "La Amistad"
En el otro lado, con esta victoria y tras dos años de sequía tenística, "La Roca" vuelve a estar en el top ten del circuito "La Amistad" y es firme candidato a estar en la Copa Masters La Amistad 2009 que disputaran a final de año los 8 primeros clasificados del Ranking.
FINAL FUTURES
Fran Suárez se impuso en la final Futures a Álvaro Hurtado en un partido que comenzó con un set en el que los nervios y la tensión paralizaron a Álvaro Hurtado que cedió la primera manga fácilmente, en el segundo set Álvaro recuperó la calma y se reencontró con su juego poniendo las cosas muy difíciles al "Murray" del circuito "La Amistad" que se adjudico el partido en un apretadísimo tie-break.
Una valiosa victoria de Fran Suárez, uno de los jugadores veteranos del que volvía al circuito tras varios años apartado de la raqueta, aun así, "El Murray" de La Amistad demostró que atesora una gran calidad tenística y un sinfín de recursos técnicos que le deberían llevar a conseguir metas mas altas en el futuro.
Álvaro Hurtado logra su segundo subcampeonato en un torneo La Amistad y seguro que ya está pensando que aunque se le han escapado dos finales, a la tercera será la vencida.
FINAL ROOKIES
La pista central del C.T. Tamarasit fue el escenario de la final mas igualada, y es que Jose Mª Ramon y Goyo Castellano se dejaron la piel en la pista en las casi dos horas que duró un encuentro muy abierto que pudo ganar cualquiera.
El primer set se decidió en un dramático tie-break que ganó Goyo Castellano tras salvar tres bolas de sets cuando el marcador reflejaba 6/3 en la muerte súbita a favor de Jose Mª, pero Castellano jugó valiente y superó el bache ganando la primera manga. En el segundo set las cosas seguían apretadas y solo un break hizo que Castellano lograse su primer titulo "La Amistad", como recompensa al buen tenis que lleva practicando este año 2009.
Jose Mª Ramón logró su segundo subcampeonato de la temporada, hay que recordar que Jose Mª quedo Subcampeón en la Consolación de La Friendly Cup de este año junto a su compañero Héctor Suárez.

Yep - those are United Airlines tailfins masked by sheets of rain! My granny used to describe this as: 'hale watter' (whole water - i.e. no spaces between drops!) :-(
We eventually made it to sunny Florida! :-)
'Expecting' was inspired by the close arrival of my first grandchild. It brings back like yesterday the anticipation of a new little bundle of love as I reflect on my own three children represented by the three birds nestled in the arm of the woman. Words of her inner thoughts peep through layers of paint on her swollen stomach.
