On Saturday, May 15th, we celebrated 100 new and expecting military parents in Silverdale, WA! The sun was shining bright, and it was the perfect day to distribute diaper bags filled with goodies, diaper cakes, “for mom” items, and many more surprises. Walmart employees volunteered their time to pack and distribute items and congratulate the new mothers, which made this event truly special. This event would not have been possible without the generosity of all our sponsors. THANK YOU to Kendall Ford of Marysville, Walmart, P&G, Navy Federal Credit Union – Bremerton Branch, Modern Burlap, Kiinde, MAM, Project Linus, Manhattan Toy, United Through Reading, and Thrive Causemetics. Finally, thank you to all the military families for the sacrifices you make each day to keep this country safe. We are so grateful for all you do!
Expected clear blue skies down here, instead got several shades of grey! Highway 1, Big Sur Coast, California
I was expecting this to have been an import, but no it's an original UK car. Last MOT expired in 2018.
In Venice, you'll see plenty of beautifully attired constables, from one of , oh, three or more different police forces that have jurisdiction in Venice. They're friendly and helpful, but seem powerless to do anything about the Vu Cumpra. I'm only making fun because I heard it all from Venetians first.
Part of an occasional series about what to expect when you visit Venice.
a lost girl, an empty boat and a homeless dog. all met up in the beach side that afternoon. Seems no related at all, but all expecting someone or something. we always do.
I found the rest of the Pocky stash at Korean Korner, however I forgot to get the kind I got last time, so before the orgy shot I need to go back and get that. But until then it will be individual shots like the original.
Expecting parents, Aletta and Denver get ready for the arrival of their baby girl. Denver is trying to put a crib together while Aletta is just sitting in the chair eating cookies. Seems pregnancy cravings have already gotten to her. :)
Convincing Towns Cup win against City of Derry
by Roger Corbett
Last year’s Towns Cup winners were comprehensively beaten 48-10 in the first round of this year’s competition by a well drilled and cohesive Bangor side.
With conditions very soft underfoot at Upritchard Park, the decision was made to play at the Bangor Grammar School’s new pitch nearby. It was hoped that the firmer ground and better than expected weather would give both sides a good opportunity to play to their respective strengths. As City of Derry 2nds were the current holders of the Towns Cup, and having brought a strong team to defend that position, Bangor were expecting a tough contest.
The visitors kicked off with a slight wind advantage, and pushed forward into Bangor’s twenty two. However, after 7 minutes of play, Bangor produced a fine break through crisp handling and good support that involved several players, before the ball came to Darren Kelly. With 10 metres to go, he powered through the Derry defence to score to the left of the posts. Neil Cuthbertson’s conversion was successful, getting the home side off to a great 7-0 start.
Shortly afterwards, another good combination between forwards and backs saw the ball come to Jason Morgan who seemed sure to score, but the ball somehow slipped from his grasp within sight of the Derry line. From the resulting scrum, Derry won the ball and cleared their lines by kicking for touch. The Bangor lineout was taken cleanly by Kelly, and Bangor picked off where they had left off moments earlier. This time it was Jamie Clegg who made the break before passing outside to Mark Widdowson on the left wing. Although he had to juggle the ball before controlling it, he still managed to squeeze in at the corner for Bangor’s second try. The touchline kick was missed making the score now 12-0 with 14 minutes gone.
City of Derry settled themselves and within 10 minutes were applying sustained pressure in Bangor’s twenty two. Having drawn in Bangor players to a ruck, they quickly passed the ball across their backs to find just enough room to score in the left hand corner. The kick was missed, but the gap had now closed to 12-5.
From Mark Thompson’s restart kick, the ball was knocked on by the City of Derry receiver. The Bangor scrum on the half way line was secured by Clegg before passing to Mike Aspley who accelerated through a gap in the centre, shook off a number of tackles and looked to be through for a score. However, with the City of Derry full back in front of him, Aspley unselfishly passed inside to Morgan who made the last few metres to score under the posts. Cuthberton’s simple kick made the score 19-5.
Most of the attacking play was now coming from the home side, prompting some desperate defending by the visitors. With 35 minutes gone, Derry were penalised for a deliberate knock on within their twenty two. The penalty was kicked to touch, and the subsequent lineout was again taken cleanly, this time by Adam Rushe. In a reversal of the previous try, Morgan took the ball forward before returning the compliment to Aspley to score close to the posts. The conversion brought the score to 26-5.
With the first half drawing to a close, Bangor kept up their pressure, forcing Derry to concede another penalty. From Bangor’s chosen scrum, the ball came to Morgan who, although wrapped up in defenders, managed to off-load to James Henly who made good ground before passing outside to Cuthbertson on the right wing who scored in the corner. His subsequent kick hit the upright and bounced out, but Bangor’s lead as the referee blew for half time was now 31-5.
City of Derry’s half time talk appeared to be paying dividends, as they started the second half with renewed vigour and eventually turned over a Bangor scrum. Having won the ball, they moved it wide to their right wing to score in the corner. Although the kick was missed, they were now in double figures at 31-10, with just a few minutes of the half gone.
Unfortunately, the Derry men were unable to build further from this promising start. On the 15 minute mark, Widdowson took a pass above his head, before side stepping the last defender to dive over in the left hand corner for his second try. A great kick by Cuthbertson made the score 38-10.
Several minutes later, Aspley had another good run, but this time was stopped short of the line. Undeterred, from the Bangor ruck, Andrew Jackson got the ball and, having pushed forward and brought play back into the centre, passed outside to Kelly who powered over from a couple of metres out to score his second try. The kick was missed, making the score 43-10.
With the contest all but over, and waiting for the final whistle, another Bangor attack saw Clegg push through before passing to Widdowson on his left. With defenders in front of him, and with little room to work with, Widdowson chipped over the defence and set off in pursuit. The ball didn’t bounce kindly for him, but did for the supporting Phil Whyte who gathered it well and dived over for a well-deserved try. For the second time in the game, Cuthbertson’s conversion hit the upright, making the final score 48-10.
This was another excellent Bangor performance that has brought a return to the kind of form shown at the start of the season. The timing couldn’t be better as the next game is away to league leaders Clogher Valley, who themselves are enjoying a great run of results.
Bangor side: P Whyte, A Jackson, J Harrison (J Leary), A Rushe, D Kelly, J Henly, R Latimer, J Clegg (c), C Harper, M Thompson, M Widdowson, M Aspley, J Morgan (G Caughey), N
Well I expected more out of this roll, usually I can tame grainy film using Pyrocat-HD, usually because of a pull, in this case, one stop. And while I still get a lot more grain that I expected, the images are sharp! The tonality is good. However I feel the contrast in some cases is fairly flat.

You never know what to expect when you spend the weekend at Melanie and Angela's home during the Old West End Festival. One year it was a roller derby wedding and this year, the Detroit Party Marching Band.
In addition to being a nice bunch of folks, they certainly know how to liven things up. The band went out several times over the weekend for guerilla performances. I hope to see them again soon!

Surface water salinity near Khulna, recorded in 2007, was the highest in the preceding 32 years. Sea level rise, reduced upstream flow and prolonged dry weather are expected to further drive up salinity levels. The agriculture land is also becoming saline
Flickr has it's things. When you least expect you find something you could never think off, being Tagged is one of them. Oh, well... here I go for my 16:
0 - I'm 38. It's quite different than I thought it would be some years ago. After all this time I still haven't learned the lesson and still try to figure out what being older will be.
1 - I am married to a beautiful top model that never earned a single euro for any of the photos I take her. She does it for free. I'm lucky.
2 - I have a son. He is now tall enough to wear my t-shirts. Today I had my revenge and took his. I was spanked for it.
3 - The thing on my hand reveals I tend to keep boxes of machines I ever get. I got lots. All together they can take a lot of space. At work people make fun me when I'm compelled to store boxes of printers, switches, servers, PCs, etc.
4 - Work. I am Systems Administrator. I like it so much sometimes I can't sleep thinking of what to do next day. When I sleep I can always get a call to...
5 - I find Mathematics and physics poetic. I wish I new a little more about it.
6 - I don't find poetry physical nor mathematical.
7 - I like painting and drawing. One of the next decades I'll start doing it again.
8 - I like gardening. I have a small garden where I spend some of my free time.
9 - I like reading. I don't read as much as I could and I have a big dilemma. What to read next? A classic or a contemporary author?
A - My favorite sport is tennis. Do you think it is poetic?
B - I'm very curious about machines. I like to understand why it was built that way. I think I better not say that I find poetic a good engineering solution.
C - I guess I read everything I about my Canon before a got it. Including the operating manual. Please don't spread this at work. I will deny it.
D - I could not sleep well when I ordered my camera. I tested the camera during my sleep. Somethings operate exactly the same way as in my dream.
E - I like Flickr. Thank you for all your comments to my photostream. I also want to thank all the teaching you all shared with me.
F - In case you haven't noticed I used hexadecimal for numbering my thoughts. The reason I did it is that there is something poetic in numbers I can't explain. Flickr Tagging is base 16!
No sábado a Thiana recebeu algumas amigas para o Chá de Bebê da pequena Stella!
Entrando no sétimo mês ela estava radiante, como sempre, e esbanjando felicidade!
A Thi sempre foi uma amiga muito divertida, alegre e pra quem o tempo ruim dificilmente chega - ela não deixa! Ver ela grávida é uma alegria enorme e tenho certeza que os dois serão pais super corujas!
Parabéns, amiga!
Em breve mais lá no blog!
Explosion was a tad larger than I thought it would be, but I still like the shot. Matawan did a great job.
Expect a realllllly creepy Christmas-themed photo coming soon. :)

Kit pours a Singha. As you'd expect Kit is knowledgeable about bikes but also has helped manage a night club in Bath.
The shop is owned by a chap with many business interests. There may soon be some good changes coming to the handfull of London CPS venues. It's certainly looking to up its game on beer selection and ditch the Singha keg lager. It already stocks some local bottled beers from the likes of the newly opened Canopy Brewery etc. It is open till 11pm (other than Sundays). Tuesday evenings is always busy as the London Fixed Gear and Single-Speed club meet there to talk bikes, drink coffee/beer, eat pizza, and play on the variety of games consoles at the back. Daytimes its more shop orientated. There is no cask ale at the moment.

I was seriously not expecting to like this mashup of "Call Me Maybe" and "Head Like A Hole" as much as I do, but holy cow, this really is great. Nine Inch Nails is some of my favorite music ever, and I also enjoy a good pop hook. This combines them both in a crazy, mind-expanding… and extremely catchy way. I was inspired to create this visual mashup to get in on the fun. Original images by Lunchbox LP & ClintJCL. More on this at my blog: rsmithing.com.
