This one is a failure.. the IC was wrong
Never got satisfied with the shape, and kept sanding until I basically broke the pipe. Anyways, it is always a good thing to get a new pipe for myself!
Slow shutter speed on the Wave's, Fail shot though :P Still the colors came out good :D
*NO Graphic comments please!*
Northern Lights (FAIL)
Decided to chance our luck with the recent amazing photos that have appeared of the northern lights from Scotland. Sadly we only saw a couple a flashes of it in the night sky!
Every year lots of people believe that the turn of the year is a good starting point to improve their life. Frequently heard 'New Year's Resolutions' are to lose weight, drink less alcohol, get a better job and of course quit smoking. Especially that last one is hard to persevere. Now we are nine days into the new year I think a lot of people already have failed (again) to quit smoking.
Note that I don't smoke myself and never did. I find it a disguisting habit. Everyone that is trying to quit, good luck! Life is so much better without smoking!

first fail: they were extremely hard to pop from the mold.
second fail: days later they form an odd unpleasant texture making them sadly uneatable.
What motivates success? Whether fuelled by fame, fortune, or mommy issues, successful people generally have a shared trait. Failure. A willingness to get repeatedly knocked on their ass and a drive to relentlessly tweak their approach and get back up again.
Opus Creative and PACT teamed up to host a panel of failures; a group of down-to-earth folks who learned to say “fuck you” to crocodile tears and grit through the sting of defeat.
Panel Participants
Kim Malek (Owner of Salt + Straw Ice Cream)
Todd Hoffman (Miner + Star of Gold Rush)
Scott Clum (Principal/Creative Director at Ride Studio)
Geoff Cecil (Creative Director at Opus Creative)
moderated by Ron Crump (Creative Producer + Global Advertising Manager at Intel)

Considering that Comrie has once again found itself on the news due to flooding, I'm surprised this was the extent of the flood water inside the Strowan Tunnel. Clearly drainage has always been an issue inside this tunnel as it contains two very prominent drainage channels down both sides. The one along the western wall is coping a lot better than the one on the eastern side.
The other interesting feature here is that the tunnel is using half concrete and half brick at this point. Throughout the 100 yard length of this tunnel, travelling from north to south we have an entirely brick lined section, a bare rock section, a second brick lined section, a second and longer bare rock section and finally, we get this interesting mix of materials for the final part. The Strowan Tunnel packs a lot of interest into such a small space. Just behind me is the tunnel's only alcove.
It looks as if the railway was opened in 1893, 3 years after the Glenfarg line opened which contains some of the first tunnels to use a concrete lining. I'm surprised this tunnel wasn't built entirely in concrete like Glenfarg South and it's sister tunnel at St. Fillans was.
Most of the approximately 35,000 culverts along Oregon’s state highway system are now at the end of their designed service lives. A new database will help make prioritized decisions on repairing or replacing culverts.
