@AntonioGould, Bobby (not on Twitter?), @lovelychaos and @benrmatthews perform an Epic Fail for @qwghlm's birthday. Fail Stamp provided by @anniemole / @utku.
This looks soooo gooood but tasted... meh.
So I wanted to try this new fangled sous vide low-temperature cooking. Bought a not-so-special T-Bone / Porterhouse and vacuumed it with a bit of steak pepper and herb salt. Got my styrofoam cooler and added a hole in the top for a little silicone tube, and some drainage holes. Hot water collects in the funnel, flows through tube to the bottom of the cooler and drains just under the lid. Thermometer pierced through lid to do whatever it is that thermometers do. Just over 7 hours at 55°C. Searing in hot pan produces lots of smoke, little else. The meat is tender throughout, but I miss the range of textures you get from a "traditional" steak: crispy on the outside, with a juicy pink centre and melt-in-your-mouth fat... This steak was greasy and tallowy, with a hint of fishiness, though (to be fair, I don't know how far the method is to blame for the Flavour Fail).
I will definitely not try this again for steak. I may give it another try for some other cut of meat.
Front grill of my failed Scania. A lot of hours went into creating a good looking front grill and it was eventually one of the reasons to quit on this build.
Will be demolishing this in my coming weekend and start building something completely different.

We had a lovely dinner at our house last night with thirteen of us there consuming Eunie's delicious Midwestern American farm meal. A special guest was there, but I'm not going to keep blasting her name out over the web, because I think that it's time for her to have a chance to enjoy a bit of privacy. It was a typical Madang dinner party. There was a pile of "happy shoes" at the door, good food, good friends, and good Australian wine. Everybody came to our house by boat, so even the departing was fun. Everybody walks out to the dock, gets into their boats and we all wave bye-bye as if we'll always see each other tomorrow. And, we usually do.
When I saw the sunrise this morning, the word industrial popped into my mind:
It seems that I am a compulsive titler - is that a word, someone who titles things? I don't know. If it isn't, it should be. Every image has to have a title floating around in my head.
Oh, I can see that I'm boring you. Let's get to the miserable failure that is the subject of today's post. This could have been a perfectly good image of a Scorpionfish:
We had just gotten into the water at Planet Rock and I was fussing around making certain that our anchor was not doing any damage and watching divers and counting noses when Richard Jones pointed out this Scorpionfish. It was such a peculiar shape and so well camouflaged that I really wanted to get a good image of it. Sadly, I had time only for a quick snap. Unfortunately,as so often happens, the camera did not focus where I wanted it to. The focus on the rear half of the fish is tolerable, but the head is blurry. Still, it is so odd that it's worth a look.
I have a lot of trouble figuring out what is a sponge and what is a sea squirt. I was all set to identify this as some kind of sea squirt. Fortunately, I sent the image to my Facebook friend Ana Karinna Carbonini of the Laboratorio de Biología Marina at the Universidad Simón Bolívar. She said that she thinks it is a Sponge, possibly a species of Leuconoide or Asconoide:
You can take a sip of coffee now while you absorb that. Have a quick glance over your shoulder to see if the boss is lurking about.
At the request of a friend, here are a couple of Anemonefish shots from our dives on Saturday. This is a Red and Black Anemonefish (Amphiprion melanopus) peeking out from the safety of its host anemone:
I particularly like this shot, because it shows a very typical behavior. Anemonefish will often alternate between dashing about frantically around the anemone, coming up close to you to investigate or even take a nip of your finger and then plunging down within the tentacles to peer out and observe the result of the attack. I get more fun from watching anemonefish than anything else under the water, with the possible exception of some of my dive buddies.
For the Disney fans, here are some genuine Nemo wannabes. The Clown Anemonefish (Amphiprion percula) never fails to live up to its name:
One seems to be shouting at me. By the way, I would call this a failed shot also. Careful examination will reveal that it was a snap shot and I did not take the time to check the focus carefully. Of course, if I had, I would have missed the shout.
Finally, I'll show you this artsy shot of the beautiful clear view of the reef near Alexishafen late on Sunday afternoon:
We were all peering over the side of Felmara as we stopped for a swim. The water was crystal clear and the pinkish sunset was alternating with the deep green of the two metres of water under the boat. A little bit of magic.
A little bit of magic is all it takes.
Yesterday someone asked me if I wasn't afraid when getting home and oppening the entrance door, since my building is quite large and I don't exactely know any of the neighbours. I said I didn't. Little did that person know that I've been thinking about my neighbours. I've been living here for almost six months and still I feel I'm a stranger to them. I hardly see any of them. Sometimes we share the elevator, exgange polite conversation. On an ocasion a couple of them actually visited our home for a brief moment. But that's it. How do you connect to people whose face isn't carved in your memory yet? How do you reach out? How can you get in touch, especially in a kind of frigid culture? These questions and some others have been dancing in my head for some time now... I remember how easy it was during the 14 years my family and I lived in Lisbon. It was a small building. Everyone knew each other. One of my teachers had an office there. The old ladies asked how we were doing in school and they had us over for a hot cup of milk and cookies when it was raining outside and we had forgotten our keys. They showed us their picture albums. I feel nostalgic just thinking about it. There were connections. People spoke of deep and intimate struggles and joys in their lives.
I believe we are where we are for a reason. In some aspects I'm still trying to figure out what's the reason I'm here for. And you? Are you hapilly connected?
I keep hearing the phrase "epic fail" and it struck me as a pretty good one for the Moodlings to hold :)
We spotted this red tailed hawk on a tree and it then launched into a full speed attack into a bush in front of us. Here is the hawk taking a brief pause after the failed attack before it took off
deleted my Ipernity account. They limited the number of pics I could display, plus I found it cumbersome. As much as I dislike what Yahoo has done to Flickr, it covers my basic needs for archiving, tagging, and related global searches.

This was the family G5 iMac for all our music videos and podcasts etc.
At 4 years 2 Months the graphics o/p has failed catastropically.
I suspect 1 or more capacitors has failed.
I found this "answer" on another Flickr contacts page.
I rescued all the music and videos by putting the iMac in Target disk mode and booting my 7 year old G3 laptop from the iMac (which proves the HD and software is OK)
Check out the link to the failing capacitors theory

This is also my first image taken with my new gorillapod (flexible tripod)

This is probably the greatest fail in the history of night-photography, maybe in history of photography, even history of failure! :D
Now talking seriously, this was a trial of a technique for doing star trails. Instead of taking a long noisy exposure, in this case I shoot lots of photos of 30 seconds and then I combined them into a single file. You can read a nice tutorial here:

BTW, I learned something. If you see a tripod is 200 euros and another one is 20 euros, there must be a reason. In this case I didn't have my tripod and I was forced to use a cheap tripod to realize what is the meaning of shaky tripod!
Even with optical digital out, the MZ-R35 still wouldn't record from the source MD in the MZ-1 due to Sony's digital copy protection software
67019 is seen passing Spittal with a failed 225 set. This is 5E06 from Glasgow Central to Bounds Green and has 91126 at the rear. 10/6/14

I found this spot in one of my daily travels.
It appeared that there was so much work went into this property, all the terraces ready to grow something, dam at the bottom, fantastic view over the Hunter Valley, everything perfect...BUT...If you could see the rest of the property, it's derelict with huge amounts of rubbish everywhere, no dwelling to be seen, just junk!!!!
Hmmmmm....wonder what happened???
my first attempt at painting the tokodoki nailset....failed. already painting another one. :D

"The President is now a king above the law."
1 July 2024.
***************
▶ "Looking beyond the fate of this particular prosecution,
the long-term consequences of today’s decision are stark.
The Court effectively creates a law-free zone around the
President, upsetting the status quo that has existed since
the Founding. This new official-acts immunity now 'lies
about like a loaded weapon' for any President that wishes
to place his own interests, his own political survival, or his
own financial gain, above the interests of the Nation.
The President of the United States is the most powerful person in the country, and possibly the world. When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune.
Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends. Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be. That is the majority’s message today.
Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done. The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law.
The majority’s single-minded fixation on the President’s need for boldness and dispatch ignores the countervailing need for accountability and restraint. The Framers were not so single-minded. In the Federalist Papers, after 'endeavor[ing] to show” that the Executive designed by the Constitution combines . . . all the requisites to energy,' Alexander Hamilton asked a separate, equally important question: 'Does it also combine the requisites to safety, in a republican sense, a due dependence on the people, a due responsibility?' The answer then was yes, based in part upon the President’s vulnerability to 'prosecution in the common course of law.' The answer after today is no.
Never in the history of our Republic has a President had reason to believe that he would be immune from criminal prosecution if he used the trappings of his office to violate the criminal law. Moving forward, however, all former Presidents will be cloaked in such immunity. If the occupant of that office misuses official power for personal gain, the criminal law that the rest of us must abide will not provide a backstop.
With fear for our democracy, I dissent."
— Justice Sonia Sotomayor
