One of the set of sixteen Star Wars themed cereal boxes given away at Collecting Panels at Star Wars Celebration V between August, 12th to 15th, 2010. The collectible cereal boxes are based on Star Wars character "cereal brands" highlighting each of the sixteen panel topics.
Given so many people were up @ 3am on Xmas Day, I was surprised the bookmakers had bothered going to bed at all. We were also surprised to be the only crackers we saw, (who were not working) until the afternoon of the 26th.
Then again, if there were still there, I'd not have been allowed to take this pic. They really DO NOT like cameras in the casinos.
the Maltese has been given many names, such as the "Melitae Dog," "Ye Ancient Dogge of Malta," the "Roman Ladies Dog," "The Comforter," the "Spaniel Gentle," the "Bichon," the "Maltese Lion Dog," and the "Maltese Terrier." Today, he is known simply as the Maltese.
This elegant toy dog breed is famed for the silky white hair covering his body. Straight and thick, the coat falls all the way to the floor. Many years ago, Maltese came in many colors, but these days they are always white. When a properly built Maltese moves, he seems to float beneath his cloud of white hair. Because he doesn't have an undercoat, the Maltese sheds little, and many people consider the breed to be hypoallergenic.
But the Maltese is more than his coat. Completing the picture is a slightly rounded skull, black nose, drop ears, dark, alert eyes, short, straight legs, and a graceful tail. He's a sweet, intelligent dog who is devoted to his people. And as one of the smallest of the toy breeds, he's well suited to apartment or condo living. Wherever he lives, the Maltese is responsive to his environment and makes an effective watchdog.

We were given a window of 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for the delivery of the refrigerator we've been waiting for over 6 months for. Darek called from work about 8 a.m. and said "They're on their way!" Long story short: We now have our new refrigerator.
I had blocked off most of my day for the refrigerator so getting it here early gave me plenty of time to go looking for:
Today's We're Here Challenge: Balconies
Late Monday afternoon, Shobhit and I decided to go explore the many pools at The Venetian. We did sit and read by the pool for a while, both of us in turn even dipping briefly into the water, but not before we walked the length of the pool area, covering many pools and stretching from Venetian Tower all the way over to The Palazzo.
This shot was taken alongside one of the several pools on the Palazzo side, as Shobhit made our way back to the first pool area we saw on the Venetian side, which we liked best.

Given the possible negative reaction with some light modeling clays and Wanda plastic, I went with something else.
This is just plain old polyester fiberfill. I figure it's pretty safe, since the frogs can wear polyester clothing without any problems. I filled her head as firmly as I could. It may compact over time, but since I can pull her head off I can put more in. The fiberfill also adds practically ZERO weight, so she doesn't feel any different than the other frogs.
I was given the task of being DP for a mavs piece today at work so I got to shoot timelapses for a few hours before the game! Check it!
Grand Marnier - probably one of those bottles youâll have seen a hundred or a thousand times, in bars all over the world. Iâd never really given a second thought to it until I was given the chance to come and meet some of the people behind the brand a few months ago at Bistrot de Luxe on Baker Street (the first restaurant to have been opened by the 'Michelin Starredâ Galvin brothers).
Anyway, I was there for the launch of their Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge limited edition bottle, Le Café Parisien...
Grand Marnier has quite a history behind it. The recipe for Cordon Rouge (âred ribbonâ) dates back to around 1880, when an enterprising chap named Louis-Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle decided to combine Cognac brandy, distilled essence of bitter orange (Citrus Bigaradia), and sugar. Iâm not sure how many revisions the recipe took originally but he clearly got something right, as I donât think theyâve changed much (asides from the bottle designâ¦) since then. That said, they are now owned by Diageo (but is that a surprise?)
More about that bottle. The first limited edition bottle was released in 1927. They stopped for a while, before reviving the tradition in 2003 - releasing a bottle every year since then. This is the latest (and the thirteenth) - and they seem to be going for an Art Deco (or Art Nouvelle?) aesthetic with the red and gold pattern. I have been told that the inspiration for this one came from Parisian cafe scene of the early 1900s (hence the name). RRP is £18 for 50cl.
Early 1900s France has had a big effect on the food we eat and the cocktails we drink today. Around about then the Cosmopolitan was invented (which makes use of the orange flavours in Grand Marnier) - it was also when the legendary Auguste Escoffier was at his peak, a man with culinary talents that set a new standard for gastronomic excess. Asides from cocktails, some people use Grand Marnier in cooking - for example, the Crepes Suzette (origins disputed) which is essentially a crepe with a sauce of caramelised sugar, butter, citrus flavours and Grand Marnier as the topping. According to Wikipedia: "The most common way to make Crêpe Suzette is to pour liqueur (usually Grand Marnier) over a freshly-cooked crêpe with sugar and ignite it.â Hah!

Given the nice weather today, I took a dander home along the Clyde tonight with new birthday purchase (Fuji X100) in hand. All shots were hand held, some up to ISO 6400. It's great being able to get sharp shots handheld at 1/20th second, in rapidly failing light and jpegs straight out of the camera with good balance of noise control and detail. I also love the Fuji colour rendition. A very enjoyable and absorbing way to spend an hour!
Given the form of our government, it's constantly reconstructing with the changing values of our people.

Given the time of year and afforded a special opportunity on Thursday afternoon, I just had to post these. Unfortunately, (and uncharacteristically for NYC in September) the afternoon had become quite overcast.
It's hard to appreciate the scale of the site from these photos - needless to say, it is immense.
"Given Serra’s taste for the supersized, it’s only fitting that the work is big enough to walk through and even to create its own echo. It’s so big in fact that it had to be installed before the terminal walls and roof could be constructed. Consisting of four huge steel fins—each one delicately curved, torqued, and coated in black rust inhibitor—Tilted Spheres (2002-04) is 39 feet long by 14 feet high."

Checkpoint Charlie (or "Checkpoint C") was the name given by the Western Allies to the best-known Berlin Wall crossing point between East Berlin and West Berlin during the Cold War (1947–1991).
East German leader Walter Ulbricht agitated and maneuvered to get the Soviet Union's permission to construct the Berlin Wall in 1961 to stop Eastern Bloc emigration and defection westward through the Soviet border system, preventing escape across the city sector border from communist East Berlin into West Berlin. Checkpoint Charlie became a symbol of the Cold War, representing the separation of East and West. Soviet and American tanks briefly faced each other at the location during the Berlin Crisis of 1961.
After the dissolution of the Eastern Bloc and the reunification of Germany, the building at Checkpoint Charlie became a tourist attraction. It is now located in the Allied Museum in the Dahlem neighborhood of Berlin.

just given by a friend sorting out shed, might do it up as a rough stuff comfy tourer to use for a while and sell when I move overseas. In reasonable condition for its age :)
Given a brief, the brief was Nocturnal. This is what I can up with. Has all the "classic" elements, vampire bat, barn owl, full moon, bell tower...
Mixed media. Oil pastels, watercolour, coloured pencils and Indian ink.
Given that it's nearly 1500 years old, it's not surprising everywhere you look there's something new.
The classic chocolate chip cookies is given a much needed makeover at Brown Sugar Bakeshop. The perfect cookie is crunchy on the exterior, chewy in the center and impossible to put down! Try ours and see if this is not one of the best cookies you have ever eaten!
Given the high perch above the right-field stands and the rout, mot of the fans in The Rooftop were probably more interest in socializing.
We were given about 30 minutes to play with the puppies. Sled dog litters are named after a theme, and three puppies in this litter were named George, Charlotte and Louis after royal children.
We took the sled dog excursion offered by the cruise line for the opportunity to be pulled by the dogs (a dream ever since seeing a demonstration in Denali in 2004). Our musher's name was Josh, and he hoped to race in the Iditarod in three or four years.
The cart was non-motorized and weighed about 600 pounds empty. It carried me, Mom, a couple from Brisbane, Australia and Josh the musher. Sixteen dogs pulled us for about 20 minutes at about 10 miles an hour. It was exhilarating!

Given to Churchill on his 80th birthday in 1954 by Konrad Adenauer, Chancellor of West Germany. In his thank-you note, Churchill wrote, "I am high on your list of admirers as a statesman and a patriot." Adenauer led his country during its reconstruction after the war, shaping it into a Western democracy. The bowl is by Weyersberg of Düsseldorf.

Was site during Reconstruction, 1868-1873, of "Sky Parlor" (room built on pole, as a tree house) to serve as prison for Southern sympathizers.
In 1895 and 1912, Hood's Texas Brigade Association entertained here. The Victorian pavilion and two gazebos were built 1895 for concerts, gatherings, and dancing.
The park was named in 1937 for landscaper, Mrs. Virginia Field. (1968) (Marker No. 10954)
Was given to me to get out of a mechanics shop. Blown head gasket (bad motor - HT4100). I replaced wheels with Cadillac Alloys & obtained engine but never put it in. Sits in barn.

This year our MP Danny Alexander visited the Scottish beaver reintroduction trial. A press release on this see www.dannyalexander.org.uk/news_detail.asp?newsID=351 states: Mr Alexander said: "Our spectacular scenery and enviable environment bring tens of thousands of tourist to Scotland and make a huge contribution to our economy, so the Scottish Beaver Trial is to be congratulated on their contribution.
"By reintroducing this former native mammal, this project highlights the stunning habitats, perfect for this species that are present in Argyll and seem to have contributed greatly to local tourism.
"As a MP for the Highlands and a keen hill-walker I want to see our unique natural environment and wildlife protected and cared for."
Project Manager for the Scottish Beaver Trial, Simon Jones said: "The Scottish Beaver Trial is thankful for Alan Reid MP and Danny Alexander MP taking time out of their busy schedules to visit Knapdale.".
BSCG is also keen to see 'our unique natural environment and wildlife protected and cared for' and are concerned that the upgrading of the A9 includes consideration for mammals like beaver and lynx that may return to live in the wild in Badenoch and Strathspey the Cairngorms National Park.
Given an image, split it into blocls. For each block, note the histogram of each row and column. To decode, choose the most likely color at each point given the intersection of the row and column histograms.
Coded during a layover at JFK.
Kind of works, but there is an extra requirement of smoothness that should be satisfied for the decoding to look the best.
