St. Dominic's Catholic Church.
This is the 4th iteration of St. Dominic's Church in San Francisco; this structure was initiated in 1923, and mostly completed in 1928. Work continued through 1973. This example of Gothic architecture was designed by Arnold Constable.
It has sustained damage from earthquake activity through the years.
Per Wikipedia:
"As early as 1984, engineering tests had determined that the church was seismically unstable. Work began immediately to find a solution and a way to pay for it. The Saint Dominic's Preservation and Restoration Project began its work in 1986. By June 1991, sufficient funds had been raised to begin the construction of nine flying buttresses that rise from concrete piers deep underground and soar to connect at a ring beam that girdles the church at the roof line. This medieval concept was found to be the best solution to a late 20th-century problem. But the cost was in 1992 dollars: $6.6 million. Parishioners and friends from around the world confirmed the importance of this Church by raising all the needed funds.
Construction was completed in July 1992, and Archbishop John R. Quinn of San Francisco dedicated Saint Dominic's Church on August 1, 1992."

Working on a work idea of having personal status lights to indicate 'busy / do not disturb'. Iteration one is a moon USB rear bike light + masking tape hack. Working well so far.
In the first iteration I realised I had crammed them all in too close, using a 2 stud gap between each figure. I then went back over the layout and stripped out alternating guys, leaving a 6 stud gap between columns and a 5 stud separation in each row, with a 2 stud offset on alternating columns. It meant I would be able to fill the available surface more completely, but my family returned from holiday before I finished (because I got a bit bored of it) and it got dismantled due to space restrictions as we had guests coming. Mk III will be better next year.
Last night, one of my first calculus students had his senior photography exhibit at Bradley University. As I left the exhibit, I noticed this building and was inspired to get out my camera. As I started to edit the photo this morning, I began to experiment and came up with ten iterations of the same photo that I hope each evoke a different response.
The lesson that I have learned from this...don't let the way that you look at something get in the way of seeing it.
Please take a moment to look at all ten variations.
Independence’s Vaile Mansion took on several iterations before its current life as the DeWitt Museum. The home began its life approximately 1880 when historians believe construction began, according to Katherine Epperson in her book “A Man and his Mansion.”
Originally from Vermont, Harvey Merrick Vaile came to the Kansas City area in 1859. According to Epperson, he practiced law, worked as a journalist, served as an American Indian subagent in Colorado, lobbyist, rancher, and a contractor to deliver rural mail.
When Vaile died in 1894 the estate was left to the Kansas City Ladies College. According to the Independence Tourism Department (visitindependence.com), the contents of the home were auctioned off by the college in 1894 to raise money.
The next owner of the home was Mrs. Carey Mae Sprague who used the home as a health care facility, according to Epperson and the Independence Tourism Department. After Sprague’s death in 1960, a developer expressed interest in demolishing the mansion and developing the property. To preserve the historic building, Mr. and Mrs. Roger DeWitt purchased the property. According to Epperson, Mrs. DeWitt deeded the property to the city of Independence less than a week before her death.
In 1983 the Vaile Victorian Society (vailemansion.org) began to refurbish the mansion with donated period pieces and those purchased by the society. One such donation is a piece original to the home. The desk of Asa Cross, the home’s architect, is housed in the library. The desk was donated by his great-granddaughters. The society continues to track down the home’s original furnishings that were sold in the 1894 auction.
During the holiday season, the Vaile Victorian Society decorates the home. Wreaths, trees, and garland bring a festive air and a glimpse of how the holidays were celebrated in the 1880s.
While much of the property’s original ten acres have been sold off throughout the years, a side yard remains. Still standing but no longer part of the property is the mansion’s stable. It now functions as a home.

Test album done with a camera and a technology that inspired people over the past one or two years. The Fuji X100s is said to be the newest iteration of Fuji X technology (resolved AF, resolved operation speed, etc…), sporting the newest X-Trans sensor. Prior to shooting I have read Zach Arias’ article on the camera and my friend Charles Lanteigne’s article as well.
After thorough shooting, I have concluded that this camera and the fujifilm brand caters to people who love shooting with fujifilm film rolls and hate retouching their images.
The Fuji X100s does a few of things right. Experiencing such pleasures is quite motivating to keep using that camera. Makes me wish other cameras had them.
- Images out of camera: They are gorgeous, film-like and very pleasing as opposed to the standard AWB digital look of other cameras. The reason why I believe a lot of people shoot film is that the colors of film don’t require must retouching to be beautiful. So does the images from the X100s. As such, you spend less time in front of the computer and more time shooting.
- Style: The camera is gorgeously retro and operates “kinda” well.
- Provides film-style controls where shutter and aperture are assigned to dial and lens.
- Dat ND filter makes shooting in sunlight enjoyable
- Digital publishing: The images are gorgeous on any digital screen.
From there, it falls apart…
- Images are unusable in conventional ways of digital processing (Lightroom in particular handles badly the files). Files stand up horrible when seen up close. While many of my fujifilm owner friends are trying to convince me to play around with alternative ways of processing, I am not ready to give up my workflow for a more complicated and time consuming one. This just break the camera for me.
- AF is reliable 1/3 of the time, often missing its target
- Hybrid viewfinder mechanism gets stuck in the middle of switching
- The EVF is disgustingly slow and hard to use (coming from the OMD and the NEX-6), so I end up using just the optical which is nice
- Navigating the laggy Fujifilm UI is a frustrating mess
- The system needs to drop out of shooting mode to reboot into preview mode
- In preview mode, you need to enter a “burst” folder in order to view all the burst shots you’ve shot.
- It’s really hard to check to see if your image is in focus or is sharp
- The list goes on and on…
In the end, using the camera is an exercice in patience and frustration for a digital camera user providing files that aren’t optimal for post-processing and an unreliable operation that frustrates more than rewards. Yet with a film approach, the process could turn into a happy ending thx to controls that make the camera operate on a similar path as film. The fact that the camera produces gorgeous out of camera images saves a whole lot of computer time for the people who don’t know much about digital post-processing.
A comparison of different outputs form a system when it applies different functions to the growth parameters, with the same construction order.
The second iteration of the BMW M4 (codenamed G82) is largely based on the standard 4 Series (G22 generation), which was previewed by the BMW Concept 4. It is a high performance version of the standard G22 4 Series
The more notable upgrades for the G82 M4 is a 35 kW increase over the previous M4, as well as adopting the twin-kidney grille from the 4 Series.
M4 Competition
At launch in 2020, the M4 Competition model was unveiled alongside the standard M4 model. Compared to the standard M4, the M4 Competition increases power output by 22 kW to a total of 375 kW and torque is increased by 100 N⋅m to 650 N⋅m, and it is offered exclusively with an 8-speed M Steptronic Sport automatic transmission. The M4 Competition also features a separate transmission oil cooler, black chrome exhaust tips, forged M light-alloy wheels, automatic brake hold function, and high-gloss black mirrors.
xDrive
Competition models equipped with xDrive are significantly quicker from 0-60 mph when compared to RWD models, clocking in at just 2.8 seconds, as compared to 3.6 seconds for RWD.
Another iteration based on the expert feedback I got. This time the template doesn't steal as much attention I hope and the inset emblem get more pronounced.
Thanks Nick & Andy. Let me hear your opinions on this one.
DailyhShoot: Iteration or repetition of a subject makes for good composition. Look for a repeating pattern today and make a photo.
This is part of a curved wall at the St. Louis City Museum. You can check it out here: www.citymuseum.org/home.asp The place is filled with creativity! It was created with lots of recycled "junk" turned into art.
The next iteration of the Kaiser Permanente Center for Total Health in Washington, DC will bring our members and patients to life in 3 dimensional form, so that their stories can be told better. Follow the #CTHNext hashtag or the @KPTotalHealth handle to follow our progress
The second iteration of the design. After looking through half of the 1600 posts on the Yahoo Kiteboardbuilder group, I've made the boards a little longer with straighter edges (to test how the upwind ability will be affected - favourable, I hope), it's also have less width for handling the chop better (although here I might make it 37-38cm). The rocker will probably be 3-3.5cm and be more eliptical, if I can make it happen. I've also given it a squarer look as I don't really need a board that'll turn well in the waves - that'll be for another board.
Another iteration of my Rosette nebula, used 80% Ha to Red and 80% Red to Ha. Looks like the Star colors improved and the Nebulosity is much improved along with enhanced outer dim nebulosity. I am getting better with Pixinsight when combining Ha with RGB data. This is the same data I used before, I still need to add more color data, but mother nature has it in for me.

curious about which iteration this jacekt is, as the reflective material on the front is slightly different from Sugoi's website.
In particular:
* Front reflective material has the v pointing inwards instead of outwards
* rear reflecitive on back instead of shoulders
* rear zipper garages only cover zipper area (there is a patch over the middle) instead of along entire back
* no reflective area on arms
* front chest zipper looks a tad smaller
What's strange is there is no way my iPhone 6 fits in the pocket. In theory it might, but it's just a tad too small a zipper to squeeze the phone into the pocket.
The department has been building up a library of design related reference books over the last few years. Pupils are encouraged to make use of these books on a regular basis. The photographs here demonstrate the tremendous wealth of content contained therein.
The sequence has been shot in such a way that the cover of the book is shown first and a few sample pages are included to give the student an idea of the content the book contains. Pupils may then approach staff and request a short term loan.
