Actually, I am highly entamophobic :-). I still remember an incident when a praying mantis landed on my shoulder and I literally froze for a good 15 mins until one of my friend, after laughing his intestines out, shrugged it off and finally i could breathe:-)
Focusing this one through the viewfinder gave me goosebumps and now i think i'm getting over it :-). Wish I could use an external flash and furthur narowed down on the aperture to get more depth of field but my kit was lying in my car and i didn't want to miss this one.
The medical lock on a hyperbaric chamber allows the transfer of small items into and out of the chamber whilst the chamber is under pressure. As well as medicines and medical supplies it is routinely used for food, linen and documents. The small size of the lock ensures that the chamber pressure does not drop significantly when the atmosphere in the medical lock is vented in order to bring it to 'surface' pressure.

External Tank ET-138 gets a final checkout and assembly at Michoud Assembly Facility near New Orleans, Louisiana.
Commemorating 37 years of successful tank deliveries, NASA and Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company will hold a ceremony on Thursday, July 8, at the agency's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans to rollout the final external tank for the last space shuttle flight.
The last external tank scheduled to fly on a shuttle mission was completed on June 25 by Lockheed Martin workers at Michoud. The tank, designated ET-138, will travel on a wheeled transporter one mile to the Michoud barge dock. It will be accompanied by the Storyville Stompers, a traditional area brass band, and hundreds of handkerchief-waving employees in typical New Orleans fashion and spirit during the ceremony. ET-138 will then travel on a 900-mile sea journey to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where it will support shuttle Endeavour's STS-134 launch.
Michoud Space Systems workers, of Lockheed Martin Corporation, Littleton, Colo., have delivered 135 flight tanks to NASA during the 25 years of flying the space shuttle.

Two years in China provided the inspiration for Nicolas Hubert’s external
refrigerator. Fixed directly on the outside wall of residential buildings,
the concept is an elaboration on a way of life in northern China where food
is kept on balconies in the winter to save space and energy. During cold
seasons and at night, the low external temperatures are used to provide the
right climate for items in the fridge. During warmer weather, the sun is
used to transform light into energy through solar panels. Nicolas reflects
Electrolux design values: the shape and finish are kept pure and simple so
as to ensure easy integration with the external urban environment, whilst a
range of colours and ambient lighting facilitate this further still.
This was the first of two surgeries. its meant to stabilize the bones more effectively than the simple splint i've had for the past week, so that the tissue that had been damaged by the breaking bone can heal enough that they can put in a plate and some screws.
surgery was without incident as far as i know, but recovery has been tough. i spent four hours in the recovery room trying to stabilize a high fever and trying various pain meds before they put in a dilaudid pump and let me apply medication myself as needed. i've had a hard time sleeping at all since then so now i'm very tired, plus still trying to get over the mild fever that won't go away.
These gorgeous Rudbeckia blooms were still going strong back on 6th October. Feels good to look at this beauty in between finally being able to get my H1N1 'Flu shot today and backing up some of my photo files yet again on to a replacement external hard drive - I sure hope that THIS machine works OK! Wasn't going to get this 'Flu shot, but my oldest daughter is very high risk, so really wanted me to get it.
Declarada Monumento Histórico-Artístico, la Cartuja de Santa María de la Defensión se encuentra en Jerez de la Frontera.
Es el conjunto monumental de mayor valor artístico de la provincia de Cádiz. Su estilo arquitectónico inicial se corresponde con el gótico tardío y data del siglo XV.
Son de gran interés su portada renacentista, obra de Andrés de Ribera, así como la Capilla de Santa María. A destacar la sillería del coro y el retablo mayor, realizado por Juan de Oviedo de la Bandera (1565-1625) que lo realizó para la iglesia de la Merced (Sanlúcar de Barrameda) de donde vino en 1960, y el pequeño claustro gótico, proyectado por Martínez Montañés. En el Museo de Cádiz se conservan numerosos cuadros de Zurbarán que pertenecieron a esta cartuja.
Actualmente son las monjas de Belén, de la Asunción de la Virgen, y de san Bruno las que continúan la fecunda tarea espiritual y temporal que durante más de cinco siglos han llevado a cabo los padres cartujos, asegurando que los muros de Santa María de la Defensión sigan siendo remanso de paz a través de la alabanza y la contemplación divinas.

The Charterhouse of Santa María de la Defensión is a monastery in Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz, Spain. Its architecture is of a Late Gothic style, corresponding to the start of construction in the 15th century, with Baroque aspects dating from the 17th century. The building, completed in the 17th century, has been designated by the Spanish government as an Historic-Artistic Monument (Monumento Histórico-Artístico). It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1856.
The Renaissance entryway, designed by Andrés de Ribera, is of particular interest, as are the Chapel of Santa María, and the small Gothic cloister designed by Juan Martínez Montañés. The choir stalls are by Juan de Oviedo de la Bandera (1565–1625); they were originally made for the Convento-Iglesia de la Merced in Sanlúcar de Barrameda and were transferred to the monastery in 1960. The paintings by Juan de la Roelas currently at the monastery also come from that church. Conversely, the Museo de Cádiz preserves numerous paintings by Francisco Zurbarán that were originally from the monastery.
Nowadays, the Sisters of Bethlehem, Sisters of the Assumption of the Virgin, and Sisters of Saint Bruno continue the long Roman Catholic monastic and spiritual tradition that had been carried on more than five centuries by the Carthusian fathers.
The Barchetta was developed between 1990 and 1994 under the project name Tipo B Spider 176. It was designed by Andreas Zapatinas and Alessandro Cavazza under the supervision of Peter Barrett Davis and other car designers at the Fiat Centro Stile, and prototyping was carried out by Stola.
Production began in February 1995 and lasted until June 2005, with a brief pause due to the bankruptcy of coachbuilder Maggiora. The Barchetta was based on the chassis of the Mark 1 Fiat Punto. The Barchetta has 1,747 cc DOHC petrol engine fitted with variable camshaft timing, used for the first time in a Fiat production car, after being patented in 1970. The engine has 132 PS (97 kW; 130 hp) and 164 N·m (121 lb·ft) of torque. The Barchetta weighs 1056 kg (2328 lb) without air conditioning and can accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 8.9 seconds and has a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph). It came in various trim levels which offered different features, for example, diamond cross stitch - patterned red leather instead of the standard black leather or fabric seats, alloy wheels instead of steel wheels, or fog-lights as an option. Arguably one of the biggest external cosmetic changes was made by the addition of the third brake light, first introduced by Fiat on the Lido and Riviera in 2000, and on sub models thereafter.
The Barchetta was revised in 2003, for its relaunch the following year, with some alterations inside and out. The most notable changes were the revised front spoiler and rear bumper. Production of the car eventually stopped in June 2005.

This building was used for external shots in the film "Living Dead At Manchester Morgue" although its was the other side of the building that can be seen. Not sure how long this hospital hasnt been used for now, maybe a good 10 years at least.

My 4-cylinder Accord is plenty powerful to get me into trouble. Back when I was dating a gal that worked night shift downtown Seattle, I used to deliver her lunch at midnight, and go flying across SR-520 to get home to get some sleep. I've hit 100+mph on that road, having memorized every curve, and every potential spot for state patrol to hide...
(15 minutes to go from Redmond -> D/T Seattle. 30 minutes to delivery food. 15 minutes to get back home.... yeah, I was a bit more reckless then.)
But when it comes to drifting, there just isn't enough power (and the Michelin Energy MXes I have grip so well) that breaking the rear end loose is pretty hard to do. Unless, of course, the roads are icy. This is about the only time I get to play with drifting in my car ... and I take full advantage of it :-)

External Affairs Minister Humza Yousaf today visited the Scottish Diaspora Tapestry the day before it opens to the public.
Mr Yousaf met stitchers from all over the world who have contributed to the tapestry, as well as artist Andrew Crummy (above), as they made the final preparations ahead of opening to the public at Prestonpans Community Centre tomorrow (31 May).
Mr Yousaf said:
“I saw the early stitching of some of these beautiful panels when I was visiting India and Pakistan in 2013. To see them completed now, alongside the tales from so many other countries Scots have influenced is a double inspiration – not only for embroiderers who visit but also for what we Scots today can and maybe should seek to achieve ourselves. Its Scottish touring exhibitions will make an outstanding artistic contribution to our Homecoming Scotland 2014 Programme.
“We have been delighted in Government to give our wholehearted support to Andrew Crummy and his team and help fund this project from its very beginnings in 2011. It is an imaginative and powerful way to strengthen and develop our international links across the diaspora, and we encourage everyone who can to take the chance to see the tapestry as it tours Scotland this year.”
