This little cutie right here is Ginger (:
My other cousin's dog.
I was at the baby shower of ANOTHER cousin (yeah, I have many :P lol)
and she was sitting next to me, licking my hand.
So I said "Oh yeah? Think you're all cute? Well pose for me." and she did haha.
As you can tell, I loveeee photographing dogs/puppies (:
They just get to me (:
I'm feeling much better today despite my loss from yesterday.
So I thought i'd upload a cute little picture (:
I'm still a little "meh", but it'll be okay.
Thank YOU ALL for your comments. They're part of the reason I'm feeling good (:
Today's been great so far. Worked from 1-3 and I went to Target with my dad.
We had quite a conversation. We haven't talked in a while because things at home have been a little shaky lately. But today, I enjoyed our talk. I was talking to him about how I'm applying at Hollister, but how I was afraid they wouldn't hire me because of my fear on register. He began to explain to me that I must not be afraid. That I can do anything, I must just practice, He then began to relate that to my photographs.
And I was surprised when he said "You take very beautiful pictures. I was looking at them on the Internet the other day, and there was a few pictures in particular that made me think. They made me feel things I haven't felt in a while." I was touched. He rarely compliments my photos, let alone, rarely talks with me about my photography.
He then asked my relationship with my boyfriend, we pretty much catched up. which was great because I missed that.
(:
I'm going to church tonight! I'm really excited! I'll talk about that more on another picture hehe. (:
I don't wanna write too much in one description!:O
love you all.
The artist Alexander Beleschenko was commissioned to produce a piece for the Forum. He explains the process in an article in Architecture Today (www.architecturetoday.co.uk/?p=23803) in July 2012 that he 'sought to create a piece, generous in scale, legible from inside and outside at both day and night, that caught the spirit of the communal space... Because the facades were made of double-layered glass panels, imagery could create differing effects through the interplay of surfaces'. He developed a system of arranging the colours as concertina stripes conveying hidden content. Each of the colours was ascribed a letter of the alphabet which was then used to spell words and the facade shown here at the South Entrance comprises words contributed by staff and students.
Inspired by Conall explaining that orange tip butterflies usually only ever lay one egg becasue of the cannabalistic nature of their larvae, I went hunting for eggs! This is one of the ones I found - will post some of the pair of eggs I found tomorrow….

We were the Death Eater Quidditch squad - I was Peter, number 0 (of course). To explain my weird expressions and posture during our (awesome) entrance, I found myself roleplaying Peter - freaked out, eyes darting side to side, pulling his cloak tight around him to hide the red lining inside, etc. We met up Friday night o make our shirts, and ended up becoming fast friends.
Our opponents were the Invaders, who had their own awesome shirts made before they even arrived and who were tough opponents - but not tough enough to beat us. ;) They were all super cool, and it was a privilege to play against them.
'The Nuba Survival'
by John Buckley
This haunting sculpture is made all the more powerful by its odd location – backdropped by a half-collapsed barn and surrounded by the expanse of a remote field.
There are no signs leading to the striking sculpture or plaques explaining its meaning.
The artwork, depicting two skeletons in an embrace, was created by the Oxfordshire sculptor John Buckley following a visit to the Nuba Mountains in southern Sudan.
Thirty years of fighting has left the indigenous tribes living in the Nuba Mountains on the edge of survival – some relief groups describe their situation as an ethnic genocide.
Buckley was struck by the resilience of the people he met and he created this incredible work to call attention to their suffering,

Taken near New Smithville, PA on Old US 22 in Berks County. One of my projects is to take all my old & new photos of 22, 78 and Old 22 and get them all together in one place. I think Flickr is the place to do it. I could even start a US 22 Group if there isn't one already. US 22 starts at the Holland Tunnel in NYC and goes all the way to the Pacific Ocean..... or at least it did at one time!!! LOL!!! I know in Pennsylvania it was/is called William Penn Highway but I wonder what names it has going across the country? Anyone know? There are a few websites that show highway signs and explain the old road configurations but I haven't found one that shows actual scenery and attractions (like Roadside America in Shartlesville!!) like I want to do. I guess for the next several months I will concentrate on Old 22 in NW Jersey (where I work) and also work my way through Easton (Walnut Ave/Butler St/Easton Ave) and Bethlehem (Union Blvd) and Allentown (Tilghman St) and then on my trips to Harrisburg to visit relatives I will gradually hit all the old towns (Kuhnsville, Fogelsville, New Smithville, Krumsville, Lenhartsville, Hamburg, Shartlesville, Strausstown, Rehrersburg, Bethel, Frystown, Fredericksburg, Ono, Jonestown and so forth on the way into downtown Harrisburg (Derry St/Mulberry St/ Herr St). From Harrisburg, Old 22 follows the river north. I haven't been up there in awhile. I used to have a friend in Lewistown and we drove Old 22 up there to check it out but the last time I did that was several years ago.
As explained in detail in "nearby" photos, Surrey CC Bus Review phase 2, in summary, saw the 28 and 48 swap routes. The 28 dropped Goldsworth Park and Horsell for Victoria Road, St Johns and Star Hill, while the 48 dropped Hermitage Estate, St Johns and Star Hill for Littlewick Road and Horsell.
Here's Arriva Guildford & West Surrey 1607 (GN04 UCX) running the old route past Sythwood School in the days leading up to the last day of 3rd September 2011.
One afternoon journey (for school purposes, though from September 2013 is now runs NSDs too) still comes this way, and perhaps I'll have to get it to improve on this poor shot!
Not totally worthless though, as nowadays, the bus would be on a speed bump going through a pedestrian crossing. The bus stops have been moved, and - like a lot of photos I'm realising - the lampposts have all been replaced... so it will be a good comparison!
Sythwood, Woking, Surrey.

Day 3 of the celebrations began with live abishekam to Guruji's personal deities once again, accompanied by rocking kirtan and some of Guruji's personal guests. Guruji then later planted a fig tree on the grounds of Shree Peetha Nilaya, explaining to us that it is the 'wish-fulfilling tree' otherwise known as 'Kalpa Vriksha'. We then had more concerts from our international Bhakti Marga music groups and also a special opera-style performance by Stephen Mullen and Nami that thrilled the attending crowd. The evening concluded with a medley of songs from Bittu Malick, Karthiegasen and Bhakti Sounds whilst Guruji danced with the devotees until the very end. Guru Aarti concluded the 10 year anniversary celebrations and marked the end of the greatest festival in Bhakti Marga history!
"ESP Explained" I started with a drawing I found in a 1930s "How to Draw" booklet. Using grids, I re-drew the figure to size onto illustration board. I framed it with ink inside a black ink frame, adding the inked ESP arrows and boxes representing sending & receiving. I used a goache to shade the cityscape gray. I used a "blower brush" with ink to create the coarse black texture inside the framed image. Yes, I used frisking paper to cover the figure. The two radiating boxes were hand drawn with ink. Digital colors and impossible shading were added last.

April 2011 Market Update
Gradual and uneven progress in the housing market continues without government support. The market has shown remarkable improvement from the initial drop after the expiration of the home buyer tax credit this past July. Although higher-than-normal distressed sales skew the overall picture of home prices downward, inventory remains at pretax credit expiration levels. The rock-bottom interest rates of 2010 are likely to trend upward. As economists anticipate rates at or above 6% by the end of 2012, buyers are moving off the sidelines and into the market.
Recent reports suggest the economy is picking up steam even though it is not yet fully reflected in the job market. In terms of economic growth, America outpaces all the other G7 nations except Canada. However, when it comes to adding back jobs, America is the weakest. During the recession, businesses looked for ways to increase efficiency and productivity. U.S. productivity, or output per worker, doubled in both of the past two years. A full housing recovery depends on growing employment. Without jobs, most Americans cannot buy new homes or afford their current ones. As the economy continues to pick up steam, employment will likely follow suit as there is a limited amount of productivity workers can provide.
While the economy improves, stimulus efforts by the government and the Federal Reserve Board will gradually wind down, which typically spurs rising interest rates. Meanwhile, buyers continue to benefit from historically favorable buying conditions and sellers are encouraged by increased market stability.
Home Sales
in millions
Although home sales have fallen 9.6% compared to the previous month, they remain close to last year’s levels, showing only a 2.8% decline. The unseasonably cold weather across much of the country during late January and February could have kept buyers indoors more so than normal. Gradual improvement with bumps along the way has long been the anticipated road to full recovery. In fact, home sales remain 26.4% above the low last July. As Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors, explains “month-to-month movements can be instructive, but in this uneven recovery, it’s important to look at the long-term performance.”
Home Price
in thousands
Home prices continued to soften in January with median home prices decreasing to $156,100. This is 5.2% below the year-ago level and brings the median price close to February 2002 levels. Two out of every five homes sold during February, or 40% of sales, were distressed properties. Distressed sales often sell for 10%‒20% less than traditional home sales. The decline in home prices is less reflective of the value of individual homes and more reflective of the bargains that a record level of all cash buyers and investors are snapping up. Prices and mortgage rates remain favorable for buyers as the spring selling season starts.
Inventory- Month's Supply
in months
The slowing of home sales and an increase in listings pushed the months’ supply up to 8.6 months, an increase of 15% from the previous month and 2% year over year. This is the third-lowest level since June. Months of inventory remains 31% below its peak of 12.5 months in July and is now back to pretax credit expiration levels. With the summer selling season approaching quickly, experts anticipate more homes to go on the market in the coming months.

Interest Rates
Throughout the month, rates hovered in the 4.8%‒4.9% range. After rising above 5% for the first time in about ten months in early February, rates have come back below but are expected to follow an upward trend throughout the year. As overall economic recovery remains on track, rates will likely rise to keep inflation in check. Buyers wanting to capture the savings in monthly payments that a historically low interest rate affords are expected to take advantage of excellent buying conditions.

Topics For Home Owners, Buyers & Sellers
When first-time home buyers decide they are ready to buy, it is essential for them to begin the process by carefully assessing their values, wants, and needs—both for the short and for the long term. This is a critical step since consultation sessions normally start with the buyers’ values. Afterward, buyers can explore their wants and needs, and once defined, determine actual criteria.
A recent study shows how important the following home-buying factors were to buyers:
List Price: 72%
Location: 69%
Neighborhood: 55%
Floor Plan: 37%
Square Footage: 28%
Schools: 22%
By having the home-buying criteria in mind before walking into a consultation, buyers are off to a better start when meeting with their real estate agent. The consultation allows buyers to fill in any missing gaps within their values, wants, and needs.

There is a part not pictured (the part that stands up and holds her), I want to make sure it is completely cured before I place it on. It's magnetic.
So, I'm going to put her name in born this way font at the base, I think that may be sorta cool...
It used to be shiny silver, but when I sprayed with clear gloss it went this sort of cool matte silver (but shiny because of the gloss)....I can't really explain the look. But I'm not angry! I think it's neat.
I'm not finished applying gloss, I will do a few more coats after I paint "Lady Gaga" on the bottom.

In DIG, a tutorial explaining some of the history of York and what it leaves behind.
DIG is set up in St Saviour's Church, York, and run by the York Archaeological Trust.
Parish Church of St. Saviour stands in the angle between St. Saviourgate and Hungate. The walls are of magnesian limestone and the roofs are covered with modern tiles.
St. Saviour in the Marsh, 'ecclesia sancti salvatoris in Marisco', was built on swampy ground reclaimed from the marsh. Oak coffins found 14 ft. below the floor, including one beneath the S.W. buttress, were probably pre-Conquest. The church is first mentioned in the confirmation by William II of his father's gift of the church to St. Mary's Abbey. It was completely rebuilt in the 15th century; bequests for the work include 5 marks from Adam Wygan, rector, in 1433 to roof the vestry; 100s. from Richard Russell in 1435; £6 from John Bellamy, rector, in 1452 for roofing the S. part; and £40 from Richard Wartre in 1458 with an additional £10 for the tower. Chantries had been established in the church before the rebuilding. A priest was admitted to the chantry at the altar of the Virgin in 1281, on the presentation of Mariot, widow of Robert Verdenel, and in 1333 John de Hathelsaye founded a chantry at the altar of St. John the Evangelist, 1330–34. Chantries were founded at the altars of St. Thomas the Martyr in 1396 and of St. James and St. Anne in 1399. There are also references to altars of St. Nicholas in 1436 and of St. Lawrence in 1444.
At the Reformation, lead was stripped from the roof and given to the king. Decay in the roof was reported on between 1551 and 1553. The exchange in 1583 of two bells for three from St. William's Chapel, Ouse Bridge, may have been the occasion for constructing the present bell-frame. In 1586 the parishes of St. John, Hungate, and St. Andrew, Andrewgate, were united with St. Saviour's. In 1798 a faculty was granted for the building of a W. gallery. In 1822 part of the steeple blew down. Gas was installed in 1827. In 1844–5 almost the whole of the North and South Aisles were rebuilt, under the direction of R. H. Sharp, architect; the church before the rebuilding is shown in a drawing by E. Abbott dated 1776. In 1867 a faculty was granted for rearranging the interior, and in 1878 W. G. Penty designed a new S. vestry to replace a previous vestry to the E. In 1954 the parish was united with All Saints, Pavement, and the church became redundant. It was leased to York Corporation in 1955 and the fittings were dispersed.

Fine and soft shawl accented with light wool nunofelt motive could gratify either abstraction-loving ladies or tender fairies :-)
This accessory is made to exalt and highlight Your subtlety and Femininity...
Felted part of the shawl with a hole is originally used to thread the second end through.
The gauze is plant dyed in tree color tones.
Even thought each shawl is a hand made original, I decided to put this piece into CUSTOMIZABLE and CUSTOM-MADE category. I can make a special one for You in about 2-5 days. Each piece will be a bit different as every hand made, but with the same motive and similar colors.
Or You can try to explain Your image and we will see :-)
Gauze shawl with felted motive is non-allergic.
Even ladies with a sensitive skin could wear it, because no party of the body will come into a contact with wool.
If You don't like to utilize my creation as a cloth accessory, You can simply use it as an interior decoration. Airy and gauzy material make advances to the games of lights.
