w/ Graflex Optar 101mm f4.5.
Picked it up for $20 on Craig's List. Hey, the thing works :-) Unfortunately, the range finder was DoA. But what I want to use it for is reverse tilt (upward tilt) phorography, for which a range finder is useless, so I guess I won't miss it terribly.
The thing is, I have to focus using the ground glass, then remove the GG, attach the 23 back, then pray nothing has moved, and fire the shutter :-)
I shot 1 roll of film through it, and the results weren't too impressive. If the lens was part of the problem, I'd like to try other lenses. If only I knew what to get and how to adapt it! :-D Such a land of mystery, these things are in, hrmmmm.

The co-op had gathered samples in anticipation of my arrival, but they hadn't milled them (to remove the parchment) or sorted the green coffee, so Rony sheepishly asked if I would mind sorting out the defects, a sample of which are pictured here. I would never romanticize the tedious work of sorting, but I love the chance to do this job occasionally because a) it reminds me how lucky we are to get the level of quality that we get and b) it's a good reminder that just because a coffee bean looks weird doesn't mean there's something wrong with it. As a long-time green grader often says, "Ugly is not a defect."

At Tony & Evi's wedding - yes they made me get and dance - The Bulay dance (and the whole village came out to watch and laugh)
Just remember that even the most perfect baby in the world might come with 8 feedings a day, colic, long crying spells for no apparent reason, no more than three hours sleep at a time even in the middle of the night, dirty diapers, tummy aches, rashes, and a dozen other things that I can't remember right now because I am sleep deprived. And one day, she'll be a teenager and probably break your heart.
But it's worth every minute of the headache when she smiles at me. I am going to try and get a good picture of her smiling today. She is *almost* laughing. (she probably is just laughing because I'm crazy but I'll take what I can get.) And she is starting to coo. Now if we can just get through the two hours of afternoon colic without me joining her in crying, life will be wonderful.
On the plus side, every time I rock her for 2 solid hours because she won't stop fussing or take her at 4:00 AM when Christina hasn't been to sleep yet, Christina promises that she'll take care of me for the rest of my life and even change my diapers when I'm old and senile because she loves me so much.
The front view of the Herz-Jesu-Church in Munich by day. Not the best shot but the only one I could get and I just wanted to complete the set.

Soon, No One Will Be Poor!
“HAVE no fear, for, look! I am declaring to you good news of a great joy that all the people will have.” (Luke 2:10) These uplifting words were heard by astonished shepherds near Bethlehem on the night that Jesus was born. In harmony with that declaration, Jesus laid great stress on “good news” during his earthly ministry. Today, when we depend so much on money to care for our needs, how can the good news about Jesus benefit us?
Jesus Christ declared the “good news to the poor.” (Luke 4:18) According to Matthew 9:35, “Jesus set out on a tour of all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom.” His message was especially encouraging to the poverty-stricken. “On seeing the crowds he felt pity for them, because they were skinned and thrown about like sheep without a shepherd.” (Matthew 9:36) True, Jesus said, “You have the poor always with you,” but we should not conclude from these words that there is no hope for the needy. (John 12:8) As long as this wicked system lasts, there will be poor people, no matter what may cause their plight. God’s Word does not ignore the reality of poverty, but it does not dwell on the negative aspects. Rather, it offers the poor help to cope with the anxieties of life.
Help for the Poor
Notably, it has been said: “No greater burden can be borne by an individual than to know no one cares or understands.” Yet, despite lack of compassion on the part of the majority, there is still good news for the poor—both for the present and for the future.
Unhappily, many have little interest in helping the poor. According to The World Book Encyclopedia, some believe that “people in society compete for survival and . . . superior individuals become powerful and wealthy.” Those who believe this theory, called social Darwinism, may view the poor as just lazy people or spendthrifts. Yet, rural laborers, migrant workers, and others, despite being poorly paid, often work very hard to feed their families.
In many lands poverty is quite common. Hence, the poor—the majority—are not made to feel that they are a failure. Nevertheless, in such lands there are people living in great luxury in the midst of the poverty. Comfortable, sumptuous homes exist alongside crowded, unhealthy shanties. Well-paid men drive their expensive cars along streets crowded with the indigent and unemployed. In such lands the poor are painfully aware of their plight. Really, “the poor suffer not only from poor nutrition, bad housing, and inadequate medical care, but also from constant anxiety about their condition,” says The World Book Encyclopedia. “Unable to get and hold good jobs, they lose all sense of dignity and self-respect.” How, then, do some of the very poor cope with their situation? What has the good news about Jesus got to do with coping?
First, remember that poverty may be made worse by unwise habits. Consider some examples. Valdecir admits that while his wife and small children had little to eat, he wasted money maintaining an immoral life-style. He says: “Although employed, I never had any money but always had various lottery tickets in my pocket.” Milton, because of heavy drinking and smoking, lost a business with 23 employees. He says: “I spent nights on the street, unable to go home, and my family suffered a great deal because of me.”
João too wasted his salary on vices. “I spent nights away from home. All I earned was not enough for my vices and affairs. The situation became unbearable, and my wife wanted a separation.” In addition to his financial and marital problems, there were yet others. He says: “I caused problems with relatives and neighbors, and I especially had problems at work. As a result, I was constantly out of work.” Júlio was a drug addict. However, he explains: “Since my salary was never enough to sustain my drug habit, I began working as a narcotics dealer so as not to have to buy drugs.”
Raised in a poor family of eight children, José wanted to have something for himself. Figuring he had nothing to lose, together with other youths he began robbing people. In despair, another youth became a member of a gang named Headbangers. He explains: “Since most of us were very poor, we found a certain satisfaction in breaking things and attacking people.”
Yet, today these men and their families no longer suffer deep privation or feelings of bitterness and resentment. No longer are they helpless or hopeless. Why not? Because they studied the good news that Jesus preached. They applied the Bible’s counsel and associated with like-minded individuals in congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses. And they learned some very important things about wealth and poverty.
Help to Cope With Poverty
First, they learned that if Bible principles are applied, the bad effects of poverty can be mitigated. The Bible condemns immorality, drunkenness, gambling, and drug abuse. (1 Corinthians 6:9, 10) Such things are very expensive. They can make a rich man poor, and a poor man even poorer. Abandoning these vices and others like them does much to improve the economic situation of a family.
Second, they found that there are more important things in life than wealth. A balanced view is expressed in these inspired words: “Wisdom is for a protection the same as money is for a protection; but the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom itself preserves alive its owners.” (Ecclesiastes 7:12) Yes, money is necessary. But Bible-based wisdom and knowledge of God’s purposes are far more useful. Indeed, to one lacking wisdom, having too much money can be as much of a burden as having too little. The Bible writer wisely prayed: “Give me neither poverty nor riches. Let me devour the food prescribed for me, that I may not become satisfied and I actually deny you and say: ‘Who is Jehovah?’ and that I may not come to poverty and I actually steal and assail the name of my God.”—Proverbs 30:8, 9.
Third, they discovered that if a person lives according to the good news Jesus preached, he need never feel abandoned. The good news has to do with God’s Kingdom. The message is termed the “good news of the kingdom,” and in our day it is being preached in all the inhabited earth. (Matthew 24:14) Jesus told us that we would be supported if we put our hope in that Kingdom. He said: “Keep on, then, seeking first the kingdom and [God’s] righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33) God does not promise fancy cars or luxurious houses. Jesus was speaking of the necessities of life, things like food and clothing. (Matthew 6:31) But millions today can testify that Jesus’ promise is reliable. An individual, even a very poor individual, is not left entirely if he puts the Kingdom first.
Fourth, they found that one who puts God’s Kingdom first is not embittered by economic hardship. Yes, a poor man has to work hard. But if he serves God, he has a privileged relationship with his Creator, of whom the Bible says: “He has neither despised nor loathed the affliction of the afflicted one; and he has not concealed his face from him, and when he cried to him for help he heard.” (Psalm 22:24) In addition, a poor person has help in coping with the problems of life. He enjoys warm companionship with fellow Christians and has a knowledge of and confidence in Jehovah’s revealed will. Things like these “are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much refined gold.”—Psalm 19:10.
At Last, No More Poverty!
Finally, individuals who heed the good news learn that Jehovah God has purposed to solve the problem of poverty once and for all by means of his Kingdom. The Bible promises: “Not always will the poor one be forgotten, nor will the hope of the meek ones ever perish.” (Psalm 9:18) The Kingdom is a real government, established in the heavens with Jesus Christ as Ruler. Soon, that Kingdom will replace human governments in the administration of human affairs. (Daniel 2:44) Then, as enthroned King, Jesus “will feel sorry for the lowly one and the poor one, and the souls of the poor ones he will save. From oppression and from violence he will redeem their soul, and their blood will be precious in his eyes.”—Psalm 72:13, 14.
Looking forward to that time, Micah 4:3, 4 says: “They will actually sit, each one under his vine and under his fig tree, and there will be no one making them tremble; for the very mouth of Jehovah of armies has spoken it.” Who is spoken of here? Why, all those who submit to God’s Kingdom. That Kingdom will solve all the problems that afflict mankind—even the problem of sickness and death. “He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25:8; 33:24) What a different world that will be! And remember, we can believe these promises because they are inspired by God himself. He says: “My people must dwell in a peaceful abiding place and in residences of full confidence and in undisturbed resting-places.”—Isaiah 32:18.
Confidence in God’s Kingdom overcomes the lack of self-respect often caused by poverty. A poor Christian knows that he is just as important in God’s eyes as is a Christian who is wealthy. God loves both equally, and both have the same hope. Both eagerly look forward to the time when, under God’s Kingdom, poverty will be a thing of the past. What a glorious time that will be! At last, no one will be poor!
A new college project i'm doing, as i'm indesicive and scrapped my idiosyncrasie project aha.
This is based on life in a wheelchair, and the different world your in, and more importantly based on my auntie, who became partially disabled 17 years ago, and went from being fit and active, to not being able to leave the house without her chair. She's not fully disabled, she can walk but with difficulty. This in some ways makes it harder for her, going from being normal, to people treating you like your just an object thats in the way, or people talking down to you in a patronising way, or just treating you like your completely gaga.
In my photos im trying to portray how different life is at this height, the looks you get, and the views you see. I have been travelling round in a wheelchair with my camera on my lap, trying to capture life at 2"6.

"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. And that is all I have to say about that."
First time ever. Yes, abysmal considering I'm 25 but honestly I never gave a crap before now. Like so many other people my age in this country sick of W and just wanting positive change, I went out and did something about it. The proposed tax cut here in Florida is also a very important subject to me since it will directly affect my job in the months to come.
I owe this to quite a few things, not in the least my atheism and the realization that we have to do good works now because this is all we get and helping to elect a better person to the White House later this year is part of that.
Yes it was a little bit scary and yes I thought it was cool when the machine sucked in my ballot at the end. It was easy and such a little thing that I have to berate myself for not doing it before now. I will be from now on.
2 a.m. and I'm still awake writing a song if i get all down on paper its no longer inside of me threatning the life it belongs to.
-Anna Nalick
I'm not sure if you've ever heard that song, but it's amazing you should listen to it! Sorry I haven't been on for a while guys I litterally had no time last weekend at all and this weekend my computer broke!! (it's fixed now) Anywho, I'm not sure if you can tell but I was actually jumpin and I'm holding a newspaper but it's really hard to see because it blends in with the trees. I guess the point was that even all of this bad stuff always happens in the world (hence the newspaper) everything still keeps moving and sometimes you just have to take a step back and breath.
You also may be wondering why I have that part of the song bolded up there. Well, whenever I hear that part of the song I like to think thats how I feel about photography. I get and idea and it just keeps going off in my head until I put it into picture form. :)
This was taken with my wee little point and shoot, which only sports a 3x optical zoom, so you can imagine how close to him I had to get. And he didn't mind at all.

I'm a fan of very small formats as well as very large, for the really different "looks" they give.
Here are four excellent Minolta 16mm cameras, all bought very reasonably at the *bay. These were built before the 110 cassette was invented and fit the same niche and are far superior, not least because the cassette is easily opened without breaking it and easily reloadable. They take 16mm film, which is standard cine film that goes in a darkroom-reloadable cassette (shown). BW film for home processing is easy to get, and lasts for ever. The cassettes, sadly, are not easy to get any more.

Left: Minolta 16 Ps. 25mm (f3.5-11); 1/30;1/100. Fixed focus manual exposure.
Right: Minolta 16QT, 23mm, f3.5 to f22 and 1/30, 1/250 manual/metered exposure
Front row:
Left Minolta 16MG 20mm f2.8 lens 1/30-1/250 programme exposure with meter. Built in close-up lens.
Right: Minolta 16II 22mm f2.8 lens, fully manual 1/30-1/500 and b, 2.8-16. No focus but a full set of close up lenses are available.
All take images that are 10x14mm except the QT which is 12x17mm (and goes over the sprocket holes on one side of the particular kind of film I was using). Of the group, the 16II is my favourite, being solid and positive in feel, and fully controllable, albeit a bit slow to use. It's also by far the smallest when folded. The 16MG is the best looking and feels nice in the hand and very positive in its action, but I found the programmed exposure awkward to predict. The 16Ps is unusual in having a portrait rather than standard or wide lens (63mm equiv). That might give it an edge in some situations, and it is fully manual but only with two shutter speeds. The QT needs a battery, but I just used mine as a manual-only camera without battery. It has the advantage of built in focusing. There are of course many others.
Full test coming up.
Merry Christmas to all of you .Wish you people remain attached to NATURE and the way NATURE gives , gives and forgives , you get,get and never forget the blessings of God .Your next Month is full of these flowers .

"Surfacing"
______________________________________________________________________
In July of 2011, while photographing and freezing fireworks no longer felt like a challenge, and I began to realize that a lot of the pictures had seemed to look way too similar to each other. To solve this problem, I wanted to get a little experimental and spice things up a bit with some creativity. I developed a few deeply thought out techniques to be executed within the camera at the time of the photo being taken, to that make the fireworks look like anything except for what we are used to perceiving as an actual "firework".
This experimentation and creative technique, had proven fireworks to be my favorite things to photograph, as well as leading me to win 3rd place in the Popular Photography Magazine's "Your Best Shot Contest", with this photo:
"Abstract Explosion"

(Which can be found in the April Issue of Popular Photography Magazine)
When the celebrations began in 2012 for the anniversary of America's independence, I set out with a mission to photograph as many firework displays as I possibly had the time and energy for. My goal was to refine and improve my techniques and experiment further, to get and idea of what other immense and colorful designs I would be able to create - with no expectations.
***Instead of uploading a whole batch all at once, I will be revealing a new abstract firework photograph DAILY, for the next 30 days - to keep things more interesting***
Thank you so much for taking your time to read what I wrote, and for spending the time to look at my work.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas Eve, snuggled up with the ones they love.. And those who aren't - don't forget that you're not alone. Christmas can be a very tough time for so many people.. Expectations are so high.. But so often what we get is less than the white Christmas with the peaceful fire crackling and hissing softly while we watch cherub-faced little ones dance around the tree in anticipation, eyes all aglow.. If we're lucky, we get a few of those Christmases where all of the pieces are where they should be. I've had many of them myself, and I'm so thankful for them..
But in the end, we take what we can get, and make it work the best we can. Sometimes it's a wet and windy Christmas - sometimes you have to pull an all-nighter to get the bikes assembled, or the pies baked for tomorrow's dinner.. Sometimes it's a missing loved one that keeps it from being that perfect day.
So, if you're having one of those Christmases where everything has somehow come together at the last minute - where "tab B" has indeed slipped into "slot C" - where there were no bolts left over after the bike is "finished - where you found the right size batteries in a drawer - or where all the right people have managed to make it into town despite the awful weather... If you're having one of those Christmases... Congratulations..
For the rest of us - remember - a few extra bolts is not necessarily a bad thing - I think they put a few extra in the bag just to drive us crazy! Merry Christmas everyone!
Day Three-hundred-and-fifty-six ...
I've temporarily dropped the flamingo and gone violet!
And what have I learned? That I MUCH prefer being a photographer than a model! I need to play with the camera, not just sit there - plus I look really old when I get the lighting wrong ;)

Millbrook Resort is one of my favorite places in Queenstown. Its a real testament to the quality of architecture and building practice from a time that has since past.
My Dad, Simon, was the Project Manager for the majority of the development. He served with Millbrook for 9 years, seeing it grow and develop over time to become a spectacular resort that attracts visitors form around the world... As our family grew up in Queenstown, my brother and I would spend huge amounts of time exploring the grounds. We used to fish for golfballs in the rivers, climb on half finished buildings and during winter we would have fun on the frozen lakes.
This particular scene really drew me in. I usually set myself goals when seeking shots, and in this case I was determined to expose for long enough to capture the movement in the water wheel, and capture the wonderful tones and colors of the surrounding area and the water in the foreground. I did feel a bit silly standing outside the resteraunt with my camera, people tend to wonder why I want to take a photo of a seeminly 'ordinary' subject. But in my mind I knew what I wanted to get... And this is it!
--
During post, the only real challlenge was balancing the various elements in the scene, not drawing attention to anythin in particular... I awlays strive to give the eye several things to look at. Other than the usual adjustments, I ran an equalize over the water (try this trick, it works really well!) and mask in the origional sign to get rid of the motion blur caused by the wind.

I like this shot & I hope you do to...
Please let me know what you think in the comments section below, I read them all and they really make my day!

Some more night light shots taken as the passenger of a moving car.
You do not have any control over the composition. You get what you get and that is that.
Make sure your shutterspeed is slow enough to acheive this result. About 5 seconds works well. And make sure your aperture is at a minimum of f8.
Try to hold the camera as steady as you can and the movement of the car will create these unique images.
You will never get the same image twice. Not even if you try to copy exactly what you done. It will be totaly different.

Riddle, the last of the Monster Hunter trio, has finally arrived at my house. After finally getting Nhim (the Fox) to talk to me with words, I derived that there was still one missing Monster Hunter. I was finally able to bring her here after much persuasion, because she is a go getter, and is more then fine with fighting monsters on her own without her team mates. She uses weapons to fight the monsters, unlike her fellows, and enjoys kicking the crap out of them whether they are friendly monsters or not.

Esperance to Balladonia
• I travel these roads regularly - The Parmango Road and to Mount Ragged and Israelite Bay . If you want experience in mud and water, the southern end is the place to go.
The Parmango road itself is a shocker and I know that as I broke a shocker mount on my vehicle on this road last year. If you travel this road you might get a trailer through, but the diversion to Israelite has a multitude of detours and the old Balladonia Track from Mount Ragged is better with floaties in some areas. If you miss a detour in a couple of places you will have water over the bonnet. I would not dare try to get a trailer through this as you need all the momentum you can get and a trailer sliding on a different course to you would mean disaster. All this information applies to winter and spring.
Keep in mind there is no place to wash a vehicle after if you are travelling east and you could have trouble at the road block coming into SA if you are covered in mud. There is no water on the Nullarbor, for car washing. Many of the roadhouses have to make their own water as it is. If you are going back to Esperance please wash your car there. There is a good car wash with high pressure on Sheldon Rd.
I have good reason for saying this as the country you would be travelling through has patches of dieback (Phytophthora) and I for one would not be happy to see it spread to the eastern states as there are already many areas of WA closed because of it.

• I led the Sydney Land Rover Club through to Cape Arid over May of 2007 but in reverse. I would not advise travelling with a large off road camper personally, but plenty try to take them every where they can, sometime with disastrous results. The track is sandy and rough and on the occasion we were there extremely wet and in fact rescued a Land Cruiser in dire straights. We could not get to Israelite Bay as the track had disappeared under flooding water, and we had to detour back to another track to head west but higher than planned but still emerged on the lower track avoiding the water. Next time will get to Israelite Bay I guess.
Maps I used were Hema Tourer Atlas and GPS that kept us in touch with the track most of the time. Once on the right track not easy to get lost, but you do need the map. Also Raster map on CD on the lap top used as well. Track from memory was fairly well sign posted especially from the Esperance end and we didn't get lost, good sense of direction helps as a good portion of the track was navigated at night looking for suitable camping for five vehicles.
There is not a lot of camping over the course of the track, as the track is tight single lane with very little pull offs as its mostly a ribbon through low heath in the southern section and trees starting to appear as you make your way north, but a single vehicle could squeeze in some where. Bryce, LROCS.
• I found this info in the HEMA Maps Western Australia Road and 4WD Atlas, requires quite a bit of page flipping, but if you start from Esperance and follow either Fisheries or Merivale roads, these lead to Balladonia Road and eventually to Balladonia Road House. Looks like an interesting trip. Phil
• I have a book that has 8 pages of info re that journey. It has camping information, trip notes and a basic map. It is called Australia 's Top 4wd Getaways by Craig Lewis and Cathy Savage. Aart

I was alway fascinated with globes and maps as a child dreaming of all the cool places I could travel to. Lucky for me my dad was in the army so I got to do some travel then I did even more traveling in college and then my husband join the army well even more travel until he decided to get and move the family back to Jersey...yup good old Jersey :)
Here is my updated version of the Chateau De La Cazine in LDD. It's basically the same as the other one, except for the roof has been changed to all black to better reflect the real CDLC (and because the parts will be easier to get and it will probably be less expensive to build than the black and blue roof), and the upstairs facades are now decorated with curved bow pieces as opposed to slope pieces, also to better reflect the real CDLC.
Nia is researching Entontol, Enkaroni and Entaipiri to give pads to their class 6, 7 and 8 girls, 200 to 250 girls. She choose these schools because the head teachers continue contact with me tho we have completed our projects of water, latrines, desks and uniforms. They are go-getters and they were honest in their dealings with me.
As always, we will require 20% financial input (pads, soap, panties, instructions, training and bag). This will be approximately $3 (a considerable amount when you are a farmer) from each of the girls' families. I am told the pads last between 1 and 2 years. This will give them the boost to purchase them on their own at a later time.
Training is also included, boys too!
The award-winning author of 28 books for children and young adults, Jan Slepian expresses her sentiment and insight on being old in her first-ever collection of verse, continuing the themes of getting and being old she published previously in two collections of essays, both of which were adapted for the stage. What is familiar in this collection of 30 poems is the author's voice of wit and humor.

Up on the west mesa beyond Fairacres was this recreational relic -- a waterpark that all but dried up.
Back in the daze of the good old early Reagan administration, someone built a waterpark featuring a pool, a game room, a refreshment stand, and a two-chute waterslide with a fantastic view of the Mesilla Valley. My good friend from high school, John, got a summer job there as one of the guys who stood at the top of the slide and ushered kids down. At the time, I thought it was one of the coolest jobs to get and a lot more fun than what I was doing (I cleaned off dirty tables filled with dishes of soggy pancackes down at Village Inn).
For whatever reasons, the waterpark lasted about two or three seasons and then closed forever. Was it a deathtrap? Was it too far away from town to get enough business? After it closed in the early-mid 80's, no one ever dismantled the waterslide and here it stood some 25 years later back in 2008.
The pool and rec area below the slide was renovated and came back to life as a recreational venue known as "Kahuna's" back in the early-mid 2000s. But, that enterprise has since shut down for good.
Enjoying a great view after the picnic is the best desert you can get. And yes, there are flamingoes in the background.

sunday morning yoga is generally very challenging and the entire class is ready, willing, and able to go there. people are more or less fresh and give it their all. monday night is a literal and forceful chaotic ball of manic energy with everyone rushing from work to be still. it is here that when we chant and sing that i am raising my voice as loud as i can and i can't hear myself due to the 120+ other voices all getting and giving energy mat to mat to mat. it is generally in monday's class that i have to be reminded to not go over my edge, not under my edge, but to my edge. but tuesday, tuesday morning is the most interesting of them all. tuesday is more centered and the most challenging since we are all rung out from the night before and there is a smell in the room of funk from last night and ahimsa is only the half of it since i am tired and hungry from not eating breakfast. it is almost like the opposite of ahimsa, it is the need to be reminded to challenge myself and go to my edge, not back off it. if my legs are shaking in my seated forward bending poses i am at my edge. if my gyan mudra is still my dristi is still, i am at my edge. if my breath is there and the sweat is dripping, i am happy.
today we did one of my favorites, Utthita Parsvakonasana with a bind to bird of paradise. it is in that pose that i am reminded of callie and feel like she is with me. generally speaking i break out into a big smile and root my standing foot with such force that i feel strong and beautiful and with purpose. and when i do that pose with the energy of others it is like nothing else.
Today’s polybag, 30211 Uruk-hai with Ballista, is a nifty little set. You get a Uruk-hai minifig and a mini ballista. This is the perfect army-builder set. There is no reason NOT to want to get as many Uruk-hai as you can possibly get. And even if you get only one, there’s something comical about a […]

The reason I chose these busy fabrics for this top was that I wanted to see just how wild you could get and still have the circles show up when you joined the Kaleidoscope blocks. The batik background has areas of the very same colors as the striped fabrics, but I can still see the circles. Not easily, but I can see them :)
Sisters Restaurant was well-known in the area and served delicious food. The problem was getting and keeping employees.
Some photos from the Montane Spine challenge, mostly taken as they came off Black Hill.
The Spine Challenger is a non-stop, 108 mile race between Edale and Hawes with a time limit of 60hrs. This challenging and technical section of the Pennine Way is a physically and psychologically demanding route that demands concentration, good physical fitness, resolve and respect.
Later in the day the Montane Spine Sprint started, I didn't get and photos of this, The distance is 46 miles and the time limit is a generous 18 hours, you will start in Edale and finish in Hebden Bridge. There were a few of Oldham Mountain Rescue Team running this year.
This particular turkey had its belly skin trimmed a bit more than we would have liked, but you can still see the effect of fresh sage leaves under the skin. The sage infuses the breast meat with a wonderful aroma, and the crispy skin with sage is fantastic.
You can also see how browned and crispy the stuffing gets. And because we brined the turkey the stuffing gets fully cooked AND the turkey breast meat drips with juice when you slice it.
As allways if you want to made a group foto: Some people will miss it. So I decided to make a photo of all I can get and put others to this foto. Now you can see the complete team. I 've used photoshop and I think, it worked well, not perfect but I'm satisfied. I'm interested if you will find out which one was not originally in the foto. Please put a note on these heads.
