CWA NEWS FALL 2013 VOL. 75 #3
About 20 ver.di activists sneaked into a Deutsche Telekom-sponsored event in Berlin called “Long Night of Startups.” When incoming CEO Timotheus Höttges took the microphone, activists stood up to reveal t-shirts reading, “We Are All Josh. We Are Not Disposable.” During the main event, a light show lit up the room with “TU, CWA and ver.di” and “We Expect Better.
Expect a few of these, think I'll limit selfies for each end of week. So that's the first week of 2014 over.
Daily grind back in swing.
First proper run tomorrow, shall be hard. But worthwhile.
I like the light in the background with this filter, looks omnipresent...
One man was seen doing sprints in the open air rotunda, but the place is mostly empty.
Beginning as early as 6 am, Beretania Street and the Capitol is expected to be packed with people-- some who support, others who oppose-- SB1.
Hawaii's legislators have been listening to over 5000 testifiers since Halloween day. Today is the climax of what has been a contentious special session.
Expecting it to creep out and catching me unawares, 37425 gives a brief burst of power while pushing a test train out of Doncasters platform 2.
Here's something I didn't expect. The fields in the basin flatland just west of Phoenix, Arizona, are filled with cotton.
We stayed the night in a Super8 in what I would define as the Phoenix suburb of Goodyear. (Though it's hard to say who's a suburb of whom in and around Phoenix, Arizona. It all melts into the same mish-mash of strip mall parking lots with only a vague idea of a city center, so the Goodyearians might think of Phoenix as a suburb of Goodyear. Arizona folk are just that contrary.) Our plan this day was to attend a significant sporting event on the southern end of Goodyear, so we spent a good bit of time wandering an extremely large grid of dust-coated streets through landscape that shifted from SimCity subdivisions to giant squares of agriculture. And the agriculture around this part of Phoenix was nothing but cotton.
Now, my heritage is Southern, but I come from a part of the South north of where all the cotton grows, so I don't actually know anything about the life cycle or environmental needs of a cotton plant. I do know that the Southern state best known for cotton production is Mississippi, and I know that if there's one place in North America that's like damp, swampy Mississippi, it's not anywhere near Phoenix, Arizona. I've always been under the impression that a cotton plant takes a lot more water than what Phoenix has to offer. I would have thought that only a fool would try to grow cotton in the sun-seared Sonoran Desert dustscape around Phoenix.
The fool part is debatable, but a tire company was responsible. Southern Arizona's native people had always grown a little bit of cotton, but In 1917, the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company bought a vast, 16,000-acre tract of land near Phoenix for cotton cultivation. It turns out that cotton fibers are--or at least, were--an essential ingredient in the manufacture of car tires. (I did not know this until I started looking this stuff up just now.) Goodyear Tire and Rubber worked with local Native American groups to help develop a particular variety known as Pima cotton, which is famous for its durability and absorption qualities. In the process, they inspired the founding of the town called Goodyear. (I used to think I was joking when I said they named the town after tires.) Today, Arizona is the nation's 8th largest cotton producing state, producing about 4% of the total U.S. cotton harvest. Maricopa and neighboring Pinal Counties account for 71% of Arizona's cotton crop.
Right!
I realize I talk to much and don't do enough and lately I started listening to myself talking about not seeing enough Street Art in Israel (after almost 2 decades outside..) so I decided to shut the hell up and do something about it.
so, here you go...
And I tell you one thing is for sure, doing too much digital art can suck your brain away, going back to analog, painting for hours, walking the streets late late at night, using the city as your playground (speaking as a skater here as well) and an expo space is truly magical and driving.
God knows I need this now more then ever..
O, and don't call the cops on me please or I will never talk to you again!!!

ok, well the Mourning Dove who has taken up residence in the eaves is...and so perhaps is a friend... from what we read they sometimes share nests and we have 4 eggs, typically one female only lays 1-2 eggs. Can't wait until they hatch : )

I noticed this female that had landed on the milkweed. I wondered why she was landing on the buds rather than the open flowers.
Expect more of these. This isn't quite full-length as the second unit is not double articulated. This vehicle is also only equipped for 750 V DC operation, but is still a tram-train as it is allowed to run on train lines. The Albtalbahn and the line to Hochstetten are railways electified at 750 V DC with diesel freight.
Not sure of the text... I wish I had coordinated the colors better for this shot... her skirt fades in the "background." Overexposed light in front of a window. I just erased everything...
