This lichen prouces soredia, small roughly spherical units made up of fungal hyphae and algal cells that are capable of reproducing the lichen assexually. In this case, the soredia are produced in localized regions of the thallus, rather confusingly called soralia (sing. soralium). The soralia are the more or less circular raised patches with a mealy texture seen in this image

The seventh image in the new "Forms of Nature" series of digital collages I'm currently creating using the fantastic illustrations of Ernst Haeckel, this one created from a single hummingbird. Prints are available in my Etsy store (artfamilia). At present, I'm planning several individual pieces and one large scale triptych for the series. More to come soon!

This set of photos is a try to capture the mood and feeling of some things we’ve got at home. I didn’t want to photograph the whole, but rather some details that would give out the mood of the object. For this I used the 5D with the 100mm macro lens. All shot handheld with available light.
With oven set to 375 deg. F., slide in the plastic. Now with the oven light on, watch the plastic VERY carefully. In about 30 seconds, it'll start to droop.
Now work quickly! Throw open the oven, carefully yank out the frame with your gloved, unburnt hand, and kick on the vacuum cleaner with your foot!

Filho do general de exército e ex-comandante da Escola Superior de Guerra (1988 - 1990) Oswaldo Muniz Oliva, é formado em economia pela Faculdade de Economia, Administração e Contabilidade da Universidade de São Paulo (FEA-USP), na qual, durante seus estudos, destacou-se sendo presidente das entidades estudantis Associação Atlética Acadêmica Visconde de Cairu e Centro Acadêmico Visconde de Cairu. Concluiu o mestrado em Economia pela Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp) em agosto de 1989 e iniciou o curso de doutorado em Economia na mesma Universidade em março de 1995, tendo que interromper a matricula, devido às atividades parlamentares a partir de fevereiro 1999. Mais de dez anos depois, em outubro de 2009, conseguiu reingressar no curso, devido, segundo a Unicamp, a uma resolução que estabelece que a readmissão de alunos de pós-graduação que se desligaram por excederem o prazo de integralização poderia ser solicitada pelo seu professor orientador. Mercadante, desta forma, conseguiu concluir o doutorado, tendo defendido sua tese em dezembro de 2010. É professor licenciado da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP).
Mercadante foi vice-presidente nacional do PT e secretário de relações internacionais, além de integrante do Diretório Nacional e da Executiva Nacional. Participou da elaboração dos programas de governo do PT e foi coordenador da campanha presidencial do partido nas eleições de 1989 e 2002. Foi candidato à vice-presidência da República na chapa de Lula nas eleições de 1994.
A estreia mais efetiva de Mercadante na vida política começou na época da faculdade de Economia na USP. Ele foi presidente do Centro Acadêmico Visconde de Cairu (CAVC) em 1974 e 1975 e ajudou a organizar protestos contra os assassinatos do estudante Alexandre Vannucchi Leme e do jornalista Vladimir Herzog.
Em sua primeira disputa por uma vaga de deputado federal, em 1990, foi eleito como o mais votado do PT. Na Câmara, destacou-se em duas Comissões Parlamentares de Inquérito (CPIs): a do PC Farias e a do Orçamento.
Na campanha de 1994, Mercadante abriu mão de uma provável reeleição para a Câmara dos Deputados e concorreu a vice-presidente da República na chapa de Lula.
Em 1996 coordenou o programa de governo do PT e foi candidato a vice-prefeito de São Paulo na chapa de Luiza Erundina. Foi protagonista no debate econômico nacional, participando de palestras e publicando artigos propondo um modelo alternativo de desenvolvimento. Este período resultou no lançamento do livro "O Brasil Pós-Real", organizado por Mercadante.
Em 1998, Mercadante voltou à Câmara dos Deputados como o terceiro deputado mais votado do país - 241.559 votos. Em seu segundo mandato, participou de diversas comissões especializadas nas áreas econômica, financeira e tributária. Presidiu a Comissão de Economia, Indústria e Comércio (1999), foi líder da Bancada do PT (2000) e membro das comissões de Relações Exteriores e Defesa Nacional e de Finanças e Tributação (2001).
Ao concorrer a uma vaga no Senado em 2002, Mercadante obteve a maior votação da história do país até então – 10.497.348 votos, recorde posteriormente superado por Aloysio Nunes, do PSDB, que obteve 11.182.669 votos nas eleições de 2010 e por José Serra, também do PSDB, que obteve 11.105.874 votos nas eleições de 2014. No Senado, exerceu a liderança do governo até junho de 2006.
Em 2006, foi candidato ao governo de São Paulo pelo PT, quando obteve o maior número de votos do partido no Estado – 6.771.582 votos. Derrotado por José Serra, retornou ao seu mandato no Senado. Nesse mesmo ano, lançou o livro: "Brasil – Primeiro Tempo", uma análise comparativa do Governo Lula. De 2007 a 2008, presidiu a Comissão de Assuntos Econômicos (CAE) do Senado.
Durante o processo de cassação do senador Renan Calheiros (PMDB-AL) defendeu a junção de todas as denúncias contra Calheiros, para que os processos fossem julgados de uma única vez, em sessão aberta. Em discurso, defendeu sua posição: "Meu voto não foi de omissão, como alguns disseram. Foi um voto transparente, de quem entende que o julgamento de mérito se faz com base na conclusão do processo".
Em janeiro de 2009, foi eleito líder do PT no Senado. Em 20 de agosto de 2009, anunciou que iria renunciar ao cargo, por causa da decisão de seu partido de arquivar a abertura de investigação pelo Conselho de Ética contra o presidente da Senado Federal, José Sarney. No dia seguinte, porém, em discurso no Senado, após longa conversa noturna com o presidente Lula, afirmou que - contra a vontade de sua família - aceitava o pedido do presidente para que continuasse na liderança.
Em 2010, concorreu ao governo de São Paulo tendo o apoio das legendas PDT, PCdoB, PR, PRB, PPL e também buscou a aliança com PTdoB, PRP, PTC, PSL, PTN, sendo, porém, derrotado no primeiro turno por Geraldo Alckmin, que obteve 11,5 milhões (50,63 %) de votos contra 8,01 milhões (35,23%) de votos de Mercadante.
Foi convidado a integrar o governo da presidente Dilma Rousseff, assumindo o Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação em 2011. Em 18 de Janeiro de 2012, foi convidado para assumir o Ministério da Educação, devido à saída do então ministro Fernando Haddad para concorrer à Prefeitura de São Paulo.
Em 2012 defendeu Octávio Frias e o jornal Folha de S.Paulo de acusações de colaboracionismo com a ditadura militar dizendo que teve " a oportunidade de testemunhar o papel desempenhado pelo jornal, sob o comando de 'seu Frias', na luta pelas liberdades democráticas."
Tornou-se ministro da Casa Civil em 3 de fevereiro de 2014, sendo confirmado no cargo em 31 de dezembro de 2014 para o segundo mandato de Dilma Rousseff.
Em 2 de outubro de 2015, retornou ao cargo de ministro da Educação,[3] nele permanecendo até o afastamento da presidente Dilma em razão de processo de impeachment instaurado contra ela, quando foram exonerados todos os ministros.
Após sua saída do governo, Mercadante aposentou-se como senador.

When I started knitting seriously, I discovered that my grandmother, Irene, had owned a darning egg. My mother and her sisters grew up on a farm, and Mom vividly recalled her mother sitting in the evenings on the farmhouse, diligently darning socks using the wooden darner.
My aunt Kathy apparently was given the darning egg when my grandmother died in 1989, and used it in her country-eque decorated homes all over the world. So for a year I patiently hinted and pondered and "mentioned" to my aunts how much I’d like to have Grandma’s darning egg someday. Imagine my surprise when yesterday, an unknown package arrived in the mail for me. It was the darning egg from Aunt Kathy! She had decided to surprise me, instead of tormenting me with the idea of getting it one day if I was nice to her (we are all about blackmail on mom's side of the family).
This darning “egg” is actually not egg-shaped at all. It is, in fact, a foot-form wooden darner, a design that was patented in Nov. 1907 and was commonly used in the early to mid-20th century. It has the words “FOOT-FORM” stamped across its top, and you can clearly see how much it was used by the tiny scrapes in the wood. I’m glad to see that these antique foot form “eggs” are often found on eBay for rather affordable prices, so that anyone, if they like, can own a little piece of history.
Grandma married my grandfather, Pap-Pap, in 1945, and they left the farm life and moved to the “city” in 1957, when my mother, the middle child, was 9. They bought their first house for $3,000 and were thrilled to have indoor plumbing. I’m sure that my grandmother used this darner for many more years of her life, however. I'll treasure it always.

Bain Total (1987)
Regular edition, but kind of unique! The white colored tapes, Die Form tape stickers and Bain Total case stickers were only used for the very first BT tape releases starting around 1979. After that, Fichot started to use black and clear tapes with the K stickers on them, and then switched to Sony and Maxell tapes near the end.
My guess is that he may have come across some old stock of white tapes and stickers and decided to use them up????

The below description of Fredericksburg Town Hall was taken from the National Park Service Nomination Form for National Register of Historic Places.
"The Fredericksburg Town Hall and Market Square are the sole surviving antebellum
representatives in Virginia of the association between government and market that once
flourished in several of the state's town centers. The first town hall stood in the market square
from about 1763 until 1814, when it was demolished to make room for the second town hall.
This combined market house and administrative building was inspired by English examples. In
Virginia the concept was resurrected in the eighteenth century and became one model for
Virginia's governmental and civic architecture. The Fredericksburg Town Hall is a relatively
late example of the type, but it served its dual purposes well for most of the century. By the
late nineteenth century the development of grocery and produce stores rendered the market
functions of the building obsolete. Fredericksburg's Town Hall, however, continued to serve
as the center of local government until 1982.
Fredericksburg was established in 1728, incorporated as a town in 1782, and attained city
status in 1879. It is one of a handful of Virginia urban centers that were incorporated before
1785. Others include Williamsburg, Norfolk, Alexandria, Winchester, Richmond, and
Petersburg.' These towns--later cities--became important regional trading or governmental
centers. When the lots were first laid out in each town, one was set aside as a market area to
provide needed revenue. After the towns were incorporated, ordinances required the erection
of town halls to house the governmental offices necessary for the town's business. A few towns
built structures that contained not only offices for the public business on the upper floors, but
also market stalls on the ground floor.
In Fredericksburg, the market lot was bounded by present-day William, Princess Anne,
and Caroline streets. The area, located to the rear of the site of the first Town Hall, rapidly
developed into a thriving marketplace. It was centrally located near the town docks and
convenient for the tradespeople and farmers. Vendors and craftsmen rented space and set up
stalls to sell their goods. Public gatherings, musters of the militia, and other events took place
on the grounds.
By 1782, the interior spaces of the building were used for both town and market business.
The Town Hall served as a central gathering place not only for those doing business with
the town government, but for the social elite and political leaders of Fredericksburg. For
example, the Masons met there regularly and it was in the Town Hall that George Washington
was admitted to the society on 4 November 1752. Thirty years later, at the end of the
Revolutionary War, some of the senior officers, among them Washington, formed the Society
of the Cincinnati. The first meeting of the Virginia chapter of the society took place in the
Town Hall on 7-9 October 1783. Three months later, on 12 December 1783, the Peace Ball--
perhaps the most notable event to occur in the building--was held there and attended, according
to local tradition, by both George Washington and his mother, Mary Ball Washington."

Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis
St. Louis is an independent city and inland port in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is situated along the western bank of the Mississippi River, which marks Missouri's border with Illinois. The Missouri River merges with the Mississippi River just north of the city. These two rivers combined form the fourth longest river system in the world. The city had an estimated 2017 population of 308,626 and is the cultural and economic center of the St. Louis metropolitan area (home to nearly 3,000,000 people), which is the largest metropolitan area in Missouri, the second-largest in Illinois (after Chicago), and the 22nd-largest in the United States.
Before European settlement, the area was a regional center of Native American Mississippian culture. The city of St. Louis was founded in 1764 by French fur traders Pierre Laclède and Auguste Chouteau, and named after Louis IX of France. In 1764, following France's defeat in the Seven Years' War, the area was ceded to Spain and retroceded back to France in 1800. In 1803, the United States acquired the territory as part of the Louisiana Purchase. During the 19th century, St. Louis became a major port on the Mississippi River; at the time of the 1870 Census it was the fourth-largest city in the country. It separated from St. Louis County in 1877, becoming an independent city and limiting its own political boundaries. In 1904, it hosted the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the Summer Olympics.
The economy of metropolitan St. Louis relies on service, manufacturing, trade, transportation of goods, and tourism. Its metro area is home to major corporations, including Anheuser-Busch, Express Scripts, Centene, Boeing Defense, Emerson, Energizer, Panera, Enterprise, Peabody Energy, Ameren, Post Holdings, Monsanto, Edward Jones, Go Jet, Purina and Sigma-Aldrich. Nine of the ten Fortune 500 companies based in Missouri are located within the St. Louis metropolitan area. The city has also become known for its growing medical, pharmaceutical, and research presence due to institutions such as Washington University in St. Louis and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. St. Louis has two professional sports teams: the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball and the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League. One of the city's iconic sights is the 630-foot (192 m) tall Gateway Arch in the downtown area.
Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busch_Stadium
Busch Stadium, also referred to informally as "New Busch Stadium" or "Busch Stadium III", is a baseball stadium located in St. Louis, Missouri, the home of the St. Louis Cardinals, the city's Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise. The stadium has a seating capacity of 44,494, and contains 3,706 club seats and 61 luxury suites. It replaced Busch Memorial Stadium (aka Busch Stadium II) and occupies a portion of that stadium's former footprint. A commercial area, dubbed Ballpark Village, was built adjacent to the stadium over the remainder of the former stadium's footprint.
The stadium opened on April 4, 2006 with an exhibition between the minor league Memphis Redbirds and Springfield Cardinals, both affiliates of the St. Louis Cardinals, which Springfield won 5–3 with right-hander Mike Parisi recording the first win. The first official major league game occurred on April 10, 2006 as the Cardinals defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 6–4 behind an Albert Pujols home run and winning pitcher Mark Mulder.
In 2004, then Anheuser-Busch president August Busch IV announced the brewing-giant purchased the 20-year naming rights for the stadium. Team owner William Dewitt Jr., said: "From the day we began planning for the new ballpark, we wanted to keep the name ‘Busch Stadium.' August Busch IV and Anheuser-Busch share our vision for continuing that tradition for our great fans and the entire St. Louis community."
It is the third stadium in St. Louis to carry the name Busch Stadium. Sportsman's Park was renamed Busch Stadium in 1953. Team owner August Busch Jr. had planned to name it Budweiser Stadium, but league rules prohibited naming a venue after an alcoholic beverage. Busch named the stadium after himself & his Anheuser-Busch later introduced the "Busch Beer". The first Busch Stadium closed in 1966 and both the baseball Cardinals, and the National Football League (NFL)'s team of the same name (now the Arizona Cardinals) moved to a new multi-purpose stadium, named Busch Memorial Stadium (Busch Stadium II).
