Re: Viv
27 Jan 11, 6.28PM JST (below is the message I received from Viv)
I know this is sudden, but I will be going for surgery again, Monday, I had my Cat Scan results and my primary Doctor wanted me to contact my surgeon right away, and he has decided to go ahead & do this surgery now.... Today this morning at 6:00 I will be at the hospital at the pulmonary. They found a polyp and they are considering a Bronchoscopy to remove it & sending to the lab for biopsy.
If all goes well, I will return home tonight.
Love you very much,
Viv

Hey hey, don't judge me its been a long time since i've last spammed River, I've got to make up for lost time! //shot
...xD But no textwall this time. I guess i'll throw in a random River trivia fact for a participation prize though. The type of cat that River is based on is a Serval! You'll never be able to unsee it now ahaha! 8D
...On a side note, I can never decide if I like him better in warmer or cooler light //doubleshot

River (boy) is a Soom R. Trond in Bronze skin. Faceup, blushing, wig and necklace by me.
That is, fire him first, before he has the Constitution go completely up in flames.
I wanted to get this sign, but it wasn't until I got home and edited it on my computer that I noticed how the flags in the shot worked so well. This was shot not long before 11:00 AM. So things were just getting more interesting by this time.

Seen at the North Carolina Museum of History, NC Sports Hall of Fame. So who knew, knew what? That Dwight Clark and I went to the same high school: Garinger in Charlotte. I beat him through by about 10 years. The helmet is signed by both Joe Montana and Dwight Clark and has a diagram of the play leading to 'The Catch' on it.
The Cody Local heads through the short Himes Canyon along the Bighorn River. No roads here, hike in only. I first discovered this canyon while on a hi-rail trip shortly after hiring on with the BN at Billings as a dispatcher in 1988. Met my wife there. Don't take much for me to go back to visit my in-laws!
The steps of Trinità dei Monti and the "Barcaccia" in Piazza di Spagna which I shot on an early July morning several years ago with only one human presence who unconsciously posed for me! You rarely see it so deserted...

Cheeky little fella in Wollaton Park. He was so engrossed in eating peanuts that he seemed to have a shock when he realised I'd crept up on him to get a close up.
We will never forget him or the thousands of others murdered in Egypt for their passion for freedom and Justice.
On 2 February 2018, about fifty people gathered outside the Egyptian Embassy in London for a vigil to mark the second anniversary of the discovery of the horrificly mutilated corpse of Cambridge university student, Giulio Regeni, at the edge of the Cairo-Alexandria desert road in Egypt.
Within hours of the discovery of his body, his family knew that he must have been the victim of the most appalling sustained violence. His corpse was so terribly disfigured that his mother explained he was virtually unrecognisable. She could only identiy him from the tip of his nose.
But what was equally striking was the location where the body had been dumped, on one of Egypt's busiest highways close to the watchtowers of a security services base.
On 25th January 2016, the fifth anniversary of Egypt's 2011 uprising, a thirty year old Italian national Giulio Regeni disappeared from the streets of Cairo.
He was a student of one of Britain's most prestigious universities - Cambridge and was researching the crucial role of trade unions in relation to Egyptian political power and workers' rights.
During his research he managed to cultivate contacts with numerous key individuals within several Independent trade unions which the Egyptian government planned to make illegal. He often expressed fear to his friends that he might be detained by Egyptian authorities.
It was not until 3 February 2016, nine days after his disappearance, that Regeni's half-naked and battered corpse was found dumped by the roadside. His mother remarked that Giulio's disfigured face carried "all the evils of the world."
A senior Egyptian police official, who it was later discovered had a prior criminal record for both torture and murder, announced that Regeni had been the victim of a road traffic accident.
However an Italian autopsy indicated that he had been tortured to death over a period of approximately one week and had suffered over 24 bone fractures, multiple stab wounds, numerous cigarette burns and sharp razor cuts and that all his finger and toe nails had been yanked out.
On 21 April a Reuters correspondent reported that he had received confirmation of Regeni's arrest and detention by Egyptian security services in January from no fewer than six sources in Egypt's police and intelligence services but Egypt's Interior Minister angrily denied the report as having "no basis in truth."
The Regeni case is not an isolated incident - every month dozens of Egyptians, from among those who either dare to criticize the government or dare in anyway not to conform, are forcibly disappeared from their homes or from the streets and many of them either die in detention or eventually appear months later in court charged with offences, such as protesting without a license or spreading false information against the state.
Recent estimates put the number of political detainees in Egypt's prisons at approximately 60,000.
The Italian government have been infuriated by the lack of any honest attempt by the Egyptian authorities to discover and punish those responsible for Regeni's murder. Although some Italians have been disappointed by the very limited scale of Italian diplomatic and economic reprisals - they have at least gone further than the British government - withdrawing their ambassador in April 2016 for consultations and on 30 June the Italian senate voted to halt aviation supplies for Egyptian military aircraft including F-16s.
Meanwhile the British government has done virtually nothing - except issue a brief statement after it was embarrassed into action by an online parliamentary petition - prior to which I'm unaware of any statement on the issue by British diplomats who appear to wish to prioritize profit and trade over human rights.

For months, this cardinal only showed up when I didn't have my 35 with me. Every time I had my camera, he fltttered about too far away, even for my telephoto lens....as if he knew. Finally, I was sneaky enough to catch him close up!
Almost missed out on him!
I have been super excited since Petworks announced the boys. They are perfect for my Momokos. This one "Eight" was going up for sale last night and I HAD to get him. But then, after a very happening weekend, I totally forgot to stay up to buy him.
Got Petworks email this morning and rushed to their site. I was sure he would be sold out, but Phew! He was still there. And now, he is coming home to Mama.

München-Riem
August 1974
G-ASKG "Big Joe"
Aviation Traders ATL-98 Carvair
10382/10
British Air Ferries (BAF)
There was a tree nursery directly adjoining the northeastern part of the airport. The area was later used for the new charter terminal erected in 1988 and its parking lots.
G-ASKG was also noted at Riem on 23 February and 21 March 1974.
Information from airliners.net - thanks to Richard Vandervord:
This, the 10th Carvair conversion, was delivered to BUAF in 8.63 but immediately went to work with Alisud in Italy for six months. Changing name from "Channel Bridge" to "Big Joe" when BUAF became BAF in 1967, she was bought by TAR in 3.69 but leased back in 4.72, reverting to G-ASKG with BAF in 3.73. To Congo 2.75; broken up as 9Q-CTI at Kinshasa in 1995.
Information from Propliner Magazine on Facebook:
Following wartime service with the USAAF, Douglas C-54A Skymaster N1221V (c/n 10382) was delivered to Braathens-SAFE as LN-HAU on March 13 1947. Sold to Seaboard & Western as N1221V in October 1950, she was named "Oslo Airtrader", and apart from a lease to Trans Caribbean Airways in 1953, remained in Seaboard operation until sold in 1959. She later flew with Interocean Airways from Luxembourg as LX-BBP and eventually became a Carvair following conversion as G-ASKG in 1963.

Every Day!
Author unknown, 1872
"Show me, O LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life. You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before You. Each man's life is but a breath! Selah." Psalm 39:4-5
"So teach us to number our days — that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom!" Psalm 90:12
You alone, O Lord, can teach to profit — help me to number my days aright!
Surely my days are few and fleeting and uncertain! Days past are gone beyond recall — and my future days I cannot number. Let me then this day, and day by day, confide in You — and look to You for the very help and grace I need.
Surely it is the highest wisdom to renounce self, to cleave to Christ, and to keep the great end of my being in view — "to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever." This is an object worth living for, and which may well engage all the powers of my mind.
Nor let me suppose that it is needful to turn aside from the occupations of my daily life to honor the God of my salvation; for He teaches me that whether I eat or drink, or whatever I do — I may do all to His glory. To this then may I apply my heart, with all diligence and constancy — constrained by the love of Him who gave Himself for me!
"Every day I will bless You — and I will praise Your name forever and ever!" Psalm 145:2
