Bio:
Xylobone is Dextrix's arch-enemy. He traverses the shadows in his pitch form and can control shadows fir his own purposes. This has made Dextrix slightly paranoid over the years with the single thought that Xylobone could come into existence from any shadow. Xylobone kidnaps random beings and their location will never be discovered and Dextrix has a theory that he is slowly sucking the power and abilities of ever thing he kidnaps.
Xylobone will also attack any and every being he comes across. Just like a shark, Xylobone mock charges his opponent and then sits back and analyzes the foe. He then picks out every weakness and obliterates his targets. He uses his exoskeletal whips to wrench body parts out of their sockets and decapitate his targets. Most have never been able to tell the tale of coming into contact with this creature. And even if one survives an encounter, Xylobone then tracks down the witness and murders without prejudice.
When Xylobone counters an opponent that is small and or/not very "in shape" he morphs into his Titan form, the form which you see here. If need be, he can meld his arms and hands into any weapon the situation calls for. In the case of his Titan Form, he can enlarge his hands into enormous clawed fists, he can manifest swords of varying sizes and sharpness. He also uses his skeletal wings! His shadowed essence manifests webbing across his wings and he is able to attain flight. When he folds his wings up, they revert back to the skeletal form.
P.S. Dextrix and Xylobone fight frequently, Dextrix is the only one to match Xylobone because of Dextrix's prior training.
P.S.S Please ignore the tan-colored technic bits used in his wings.....I had literally no other color and grey would have looked bad...plus the tan does look more boney....
P.S.S.S. Please also ignore the stand under his chest....He is rather heavy and oddly not too stable, sometimes he was in need of that stupid stick stand.....

RAF Ludham was opened in 1941 and closed in 1945 it was a 2nd satelite airfield to RAF Coltishall with squadrons of Spitfires and Typhoons, it was then allocated to USAAF but no units based here.
From 1944 to 1945 to the RN as HMS Flycatcher, and then back to RAF again with Spitfire squadrons, the East to West runway is still down and is used as a private airstrip with a blister hanger at one end, the others have all been taken up, although there are some perimeter roads left.
The form of a bridge pier cap is in place. The bridge pier will hold a southbound SR 99 bridge that will span S. Atlantic Street in Seattle's SODO neighborhood.
Learn more about construction underway to replace the south end of the viaduct.
Juvenile form with much more prominent toothed margins than usual. Its one of my favourite trees (and P. ferox), it is such an alien form in the juvenile phase and the adult form is reminescent of a carboniferous tree-lycopod like a Lepidodendron. I can never get a good photo though because there is always some non-photogenic thing in the background. P. crassifolius and ferox are adapted to (extinct!) Moa herbivory, having tough camouflaged & sickly-looking juvenile leaves that hang down and so are resistant to the grab and rip-down style of ratites although the tallest Moa, Dinornis had very sharp-edged beaks that clipped off small twigs. However the single thick stem and tough brown leaves would likely/maybe have avoided thier attention. At 3 to 4m -taller than the tallest Moa- the single stem begins to branch and shorter, mature-phase green leaves grow.

These photos caputure the festivity of Dahi Handi (pot of curd), which is popular in Maharashtra to celebrate.Janmashtami, the birth day of Lord Krishna. In the month of August- September.
Krishna would love to eat butter and curd, this would be kept in pots hanging from the roof tops.
So as a child he and his friend would form a human pyramid (just like in the photos) to reach the pots and steal the butter. He would enter the houses of the many gopis and carry out his mischief. In spite of this he was loved by one and all.
There are many folk tales and songs spun around this story and are very popular all over India.
This is called Dahi Handi in Maharashtra, were people will tie the dahi handi along with some cash award. During the day various groups come and take the challenge by building mult-story human layers.
At the place were I took these photos the qualifying levels were seven human layers.
In the evening the qualified groups take the challenge of going even higher. At this place the max layers which were made was 9 human layer. This is believed to be a world record.
La Basílica forma parte del conjunto monumental del Palacio Nacional de Mafra, el mayor monumento portugués del siglo XVIII. Con una acentuada influencia clásica, es de una sola nave, ornamentada con mármoles de varios colores, con alta bóveda de medio cañón y crucero con una gran cúpula que muestra una paloma representando al Espíritu Santo. La fachada de la basílica está ladeada por dos torres de campanario con dos grandes carrillones fabricados en los talleres de Nicolás Levache y Willem Witlockx en Antuerpia (actual Amberes), cuyo peso es de 217 toneladas. En el interior de la iglesia se hallan seis órganos fabricados por Joaquim Antonio Peres Fontanes y por Antonio Xavier Machado, durante la regencia de Don Juan VI (principios del siglo. XIX).
Part of Azzedine Alaïa: The Couturier
(May to October 2018)
Azzedine Alaïa’s innovations in stretch fabrics were at least as important as his elevation of leather. In his hands, these transformed the silhouette of the wearer.
Rather than creating clothes anchored at strategic points – conventionally, the waist and the shoulders – Alaïa’s bandage dresses cling to the wearer’s form, conscious of the entire body. The stretch fabric allows these minimal silhouettes to move freely.
Debuted in 1986, these variations on the ‘Bandelette’ (bandage) dress are clearly inspired by ancient Egyptian mummification, but also perhaps by the swaddling of infants. The garments join Western and Eastern traditions – highly fitted and precision-cut, with a body simply and sensually wrapped in cloth.
The dresses seem simple, but each band of fabric is precisely engineered and cut to specific dimensions, according to its place on the figure. These creations ushered in the notion of physique-delineating ‘bodycon’ dressing, the defining aesthetic of the early 1990s.
Conceived and co-curated with Monsieur Alaïa before his death in November 2017, the exhibition charts his incredible journey from sculptor to couturier, his nonconformist nature and his infectious energy for fashion, friendship and the female body.
Unlike many of his contemporaries, Alaïa personally constructed each garment by hand and refused to bow to the pressures of fashion week deadlines, instead working to his own schedule. His collaborative approach earned him an esteemed client list, including Greta Garbo, Grace Jones, Michelle Obama and Rihanna.
Rather than a retrospective, the show interlaces stories of his life and career alongside personally selected garments, ranging from the rare to the iconic and spanning the early 1980s to his most recent collection in 2017.

Not an ink splodge in sight, just a little smudge done in the last 50 odd years.
For my fellow Bird Nerds! I couldn’t resist posting this crop. I love to zoom in on the feet of birds. They are beautiful, as well as prehistoric and dangerous looking to me. Great White Egrets are so elegant, but their feet are all business, with substantial claws. I also love the scales. This GWE was hanging out at Save Our Seabirds. He is wild, and he is free. I’m guessing he just likes the positive energy there and no doubt the occasional dropped fish during feeding time.
Hugs and thanks for viewing! =o)

I created this Dress Form Jewelry hanger for Bobbi Ann for a swap that Melanie is hosting with the Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group.
The Tree of Life symbolizes virtues like wisdom, strength, protection, beauty, bounty and redemption. We as humans develop 'roots' of our beliefs, 'branch out' by means of wisdom and the 'trunk' (mind & body) keeps them connected.
Formed by serpentinization of a primary ultramafite and partial transformation into talc.

Business is so bad at CVS, that they are getting rid of cash registers. They definitely don't need them.
Formed by two huge volcanoes, Banks Peninsula sits to the east of Christchurch city and is a distinctive feature of the east coast of New Zealand's South Island.
Once covered in tall native forest the peninsula has been burned and felled in the early history of human settlement in New Zealand to the extent that only tiny scraps of the original cover remain.
Nevertheless it is a dramatic landscape with spectacular volcanic cliffs, and steeply rolling hills covered in grasses, scrub and forest remnants and often topped by volcanic crags and outcrops.
Godley heads is a popular walking and mountainbiking area only minutes from Christchurch city on the northern bank of Lyttelton harbour, the harbour itself being a sea-drowned crater.
With protection, some of the orginal forest is regenerating and birds locally extinct on the peninsula (or nearly so) such as the korimako (bellbird) are coming back.
The harsh climate and unique landscape of the peninsula and the neighbouring Kaitorete Spit have produced a number of plant and insect species not found anywhere else in New Zealand.

didn't have a high speed camera to compare my running form barefoot (Vibram) vs. with shoes. So I used a stroboscopic flash to try to get an idea of it.
Kinda has a cool look to it. Need to figure out how to get it off-camera and do this. My Radio Poppers won't trigger the stroboscopic feature... Guess that's a TTL feature. :-\
