ReUse Action did the renovation of this commercial/industrial building as the new home of Five Points Bakery on Buffalo's West Side. We selectively demolished part of the building complex and used the resulting lumber to make sheathing for the front and side of the building.
Looky what we haz here! I have taken loads of comparison shots of her. After looking at her for a long time her head construction seems most like RBL although her eyes seem more SBL. Her body is shiny up the top rather than matte like a Blythe. Her legs seem looser than Blythe but the proportions are the same. Also her ear design has been changed. She has also got 4 sets of eyes like a Blythe :)

The conversion to black and white really made the seed heads pop and isolated their graphic structure.
Day Ninety Five - "Down with the Down"
You know you're an Alaskan when.. you never leave the house without something feather-based.
It's an unspoken a requirement of the 'true Alaskan' wardrobe.
Of course the good ones have that 'lived in' feel/musk/asthetic because they're.. well... literally lived in.
there are five of us, five very different sisters. yet through our bonds of sisterhood, we love each other endlessly. we are pictured here from left my eldest sister Aisha to the end, the youngest sister me (Amina). Kanwal in the middle showed to me the value of sisterhood when she was in hospitals for months with a tumor growing in the left ventricle of her heart. she was 21 at the time, and had been engaged for 5 years. she had waiting patiently for 5 years and 2 months before going off to become one with the love of her life, her heart gave her trouble. through bravery and faith, she got through it, we all got through it together. when it happened again last year, when the tumor came back and was growing bigger, when she was told she needed open heart surgery again, we were all there again, together, us sisters, holding each other through the bad and the good, holding each other strong.
you guys are my pillars in life, without you i'd be a broken building in shambles.

While driving down the street I noticed this car being detailed at Auto image Detailing in Melrose Ma. Dave the owner was pretty cool to allow me to take some pictures of the car.

This blend is produced in limited quantity and left to mature in our polished stainless steel barrels so there is zero light infiltration or ingredient degradation.
This stretch of fortification includes five yagura: Gennoshin, Yonken, Juyonken, Shichiken, and Tago (from left to right).
While Kumamoto Castle dates back to 1467, it was not until the reign of Kato Kiyomasa. Between 1601-1607 Kiyomasa transformed the castle into one of the most well-fortified in Japan boasting 49 turrets, 18 turret gates, and 29 smaller gates. Kumamoto-jo is widely regarded as one of the finest castles in Japan. While the main tower is a reconstruction dating back to 1960, 13 of the smaller buildings are original, surviving the Satsuma Rebellion of 1877.

Plestiodon fasciatus
State Listed as Endangered in Vermont; Threatened in Connecticut
The five-lined skink is a lizard species found in moist, wooded regions in the eastern United States. As their name suggests, the skink has five white or yellow lines running down their dark brown-black body. They can grow up to 8.5 inches and have a bright blue tail. As the skink ages, the stripes and blue colorization start to fade until only a brown tone remains. Males have larger heads than females, and during breeding season their heads turn a bright red and swell up. Females lay up to eighteen oval eggs in a moist, well-hidden area. She then incubates her eggs and defends them from predators. Most females provide excellent parental care during incubation and this leads to an increased chance of survival for the unborn skinks. Within a couple days of hatching, the young skinks leave the care of their parents and fend for themselves. Five-lined skinks can live up to six years and will start reproducing within the first couple years of life. When the species feels threatened, they use a type of anti-predation behavior to distract the intruder. The skinks disconnect their tail which gives them enough time to dart to safety while they predator is distracted by their twitching tail.
This species is threatened due to habitat loss. If a skink is spotted in the woods, be sure to keep your distance from the lizard to reduce stress to the animal. State officials can work to provide protection for the habitat that the species is found in, and citizens can also help by not keeping wild skinks pets and not releasing store-bought skinks into the wild. Purchased skinks can carry diseases, and their genetics are often very different from wild skinks. If the store-bought skink and wild skink mated, the gene pool would lose some of its diversity and uniqueness.

Gallery 224 at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard is pleased to present an exhibition of work from Montana-based potter Julia Galloway's most recent body of work, The Endangered Species Project: New England. Galloway works from each state's official list of species identified as endangered, threatened or extinct. She has created a series of covered jars, one urn for each species, illustrating the smallest Agassiz Clam Shrimp to the largest Eastern Elk.

The one-off exhibition at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, which opened to the public yesterday, memorialises a bloody conflict that left a nation, then numbering five million, scarred for generations.
Set-up to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Armistice, the project to knit thousands of woollen poppies was driven by the dedication of more than 50,000 Australians who contributed to the display, remembering Australian servicemen and women who died in battles at Gallipoli, North Africa, Palestine and on the Western Front in Europe.
The Honour Their Spirit program will be at the AWM until November 11 — 100 years to the day when the Allies and Germany agreed to put down their guns.
AWM director Brendan Nelson said the handcrafted poppies, which “sweep across the grounds” of the war memorial, formed part of a series of tributes planned in the lead-up to Remembrance Day. “No event so deeply wounded, divided, scarred and changed Australia as the First World War,” Dr Nelson said.
“Every one of these poppies is a repository of love and an -ennobled memory.
“Every single one is different from the next one and some of them are very emotional — -people have actually put an image, a great uncle, in the centre, or a button retrieved from a tunic, a memento of love from someone who was and is loved.
“Every Australian should ask him or herself: do I continue to be worthy of these sacrifices?”
Dr Nelson, a former defence minister and Liberal Party leader, said the poppies were crafted by an “army” of people in Australia and “throughout the world”.
“A chapter (of the 5000 Poppies Project) here in the ACT has lovingly and painstakingly placed every single one of them on a stick in a green knitted sleeve,” he said.
“The most significant things that are done in this country are done by people out of love, for no payment other than the reward of giving us a greater sense of what it means to be Australian, and a greater belief in ourselves.”
Victorians Lynn Berry and Margaret Knight founded the 5000 Poppies Project in 2012, with the ambition of displaying 5000 poppies in Melbourne’s Federation Square on Anzac Day in 2015.
When word spread, they began receiving knitted poppies in the mail, often with letters from Australians detailing tributes to their loved ones who had died in battle.
Following media coverage of the 5000 Poppies Project, more poppies began arriving, culminating in 250,000 knitted poppies being displayed at Federation Square on Anzac Day 2015.
The pair has now taken their project global, with handwoven poppies being laid outside the Chelsea Hospital in London for a commemoration ceremony involving the Queen.
Architect Philip Johnson, who designed the AWM poppies display, revealed that his own great-great-grandfather died in the final days of World War I.
“What an appropriate place to honour and respect my great-great-grandfather, to be here to design this incredible personal tribute at the Australian War Memorial,” Mr Johnson said.
“This tribute speaks to the 62,000 Australians who never returned, this tribute speaks to their families, this tribute speaks to our nation.”
