David Jackson Smith 'Do you know what we're looking for?', 2009, Franconia Sculpture Park, Minnesota
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows i'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then i found a job
And heaven knows i'm miserable now
In my life
Why do i give valuable time
To people who don't care if i live or die ?
Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows i'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then i found a job
And heaven knows i'm miserable now
In my life
Oh, why do i give valuable time
To people who don't care if i live or die ?
What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
"oh, you've been in the house too long" she said
And i (naturally) fled
In my life
Why do i smile
At people who i'd much rather kick in the eye ?
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows i'm miserable now
"oh, you've been in the house too long" she said
And i (naturally) fled
In my life
Oh, why do i give valuable time

canzone fuori da ogni logica umana... un capolavoro assoluto
Just wanted to let you know how pleased and thrilled we are with Tags (formerly Tag). He is playful, smart, sweet, obeys and very loving.
He follows us around the house and sits on our lap at any opportunity we give him. When friends visit, he will greet them and then sit on their laps as well He really likes to take walks and has two new coats. He enjoys retrieving toys and bringing them back. We are in love.
He will get his first bath this week.
somebody gave me all these macarons yesterday evening. I am happy to say they won't make it until tomorrow.
We all know that one of the biggest obstacles to electric car adoption is the long, often overnight recharge time. But Nissan claims that they've created a new charging system that'll fill up your car (Nissan would undoubtedly prefer to say "your Leaf") in only ten minutes--not much different than a regular trip to the Earth-killing pump.
AFP reports that Nissan, working with Japan's Kansai University, has come up with a breakthrough in electric charging tech. Details are scarce at best--Nissan isn't clarifying anything to reporters--but here's what's been reported: "The breakthrough reportedly came by changing the electrode inside a capacitor from carbon to tungsten oxide and vanadium oxide to improve power."
There's a lot missing from that, obviously. Something may have gotten fouled up in translation--we suspect they meant "battery" rather than "capacitor"--but what it sounds like is that Nissan has come up with a new battery tech that uses tungsten oxide and vanadium oxide rather than carbon. The general bottleneck in reducing charging time isn't in the charger or the amount of power that can be pumped into batteries, but rather in the frailty of the batteries themselves--the cells can't handle too much current at once. So a new battery technology that can cope with a very high amount of energy without degradation could conceivable allow that kind of super-fast charging.
But with details this scant, and a note that the tech could take "a decade" to make its way to consumers, we're not going to claim this is any kind of magic pill for the electric car industry. Still, it certainly seems to be positive movement towards faster charging--there's no doubt that a ten-minute charge time would do an awful lot to endear electric cars to consumers.
[via NY Daily News]
Another report says "Nissan says it's working on a charger that can overcome one of the electric Leaf's great weaknesses: long charging times. The new charger can fill up the Leaf's battery cells in around 10 minutes, according to the New York Daily News.
Researchers at Kansai University in Japan who are working in conjunction with Nissan say they've found a way to boost charging rates by changing the composition of the capacitor inside the charging unit.
But there's an issue: Commercializing the technology is still at least 10 years out, researchers say.
Currently, it takes the Leaf eight hours to charge completely using a faster 240-volt charging plug. Direct-current fast-charging can shave that time down to 30 minutes, Nissan says. The impact?:
If the technology can be mastered, quick charging could have a huge impact on the commercial success of EVs. Early last week, ECOtality, a major installer of EV infrastructure, got certification for its fast DC charger, making the company one of the first suppliers that can install the 30-minute charging stations.
Until a 10-minute system arrives, the thought of "filling up" on electric is still not practical for long-distance travel".

How many times have I come across a story or parable which keeps telling me to seek within? Again and again, and it always sounds wise and even common sense. Yet as I allow time to pass by me and ripen the fruit, the more I get to glimpse a fraction of this truth. And it is 'a fraction'.
"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." Guess who that's attributed to?
This last year has been, for me, like 'an axe to break the ice'. Academically I've understood that the treasure lies within, I've known that's where to look, but I've had no real comprehension of what that feels like or how to get there. Now i do.
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding, according to Kahlil. Somewhere along the line i consented to it, not in my unconscious sleeping state of the last X many years, through gritted teeth I swore blind it was against my will, but truth be told underneath it all, in that marble, under that ice, I knew the day would (begrugingly) come when I would grant it had been worth it.
And when that day came, all memory of pain dissolves, the old shell falls away, and i am present.
Anyone who knows Clarence McCray knows he is as kind and awesome as they come. What few may know is that Clarence suffers from Stargardts Macular Degeneration and thus legally blind, but he does not let that slow him down as he still gets crazy on the BMX track. And he is no slouch on the track either, as he just recently won the 41-45 Novice Eastern Division Championship in Louisville KY.
After a recent visit to Wills eye Institute the McCray's were made aware that he is a candidate for stem cell research in the future and a procedure involving telescopic lenses which will enable him to drive again, something he hasn't been able to do so for the past ten years.
The fact that Clarence is not allowed to drive but gets out there on the BMX track and mixes it up just about every single weekend is amazing.
Now we can do something almost equally amazing and help Clarence and the McCray family by raising money to help pay for the procedures.
Come out on Sunday September 21st for a benefit race where 100% of our proceeds will be donated. We will offer treasure trove trophies and custom certificates. The entry fee will be raised to $15 to help ensure we raise every dollar possible.
You can also go to the GoFundMe site that has been setup for Clarence and make a donation directly if you are unable to attend.

I know Frank does not look like your usual dachshund, but since I got him I have ran in to 4 other Soft-coated Wirehair Dachshunds owners - we all get agree with the most asked question when people see them: "What kind of dog is that?"
I just answer, "A very loved dog."

IN MEMORY OF JOHN RICHARD LESLIE BAZLEY-WHITE
AGED FOUR YEARS NINE MONTHS WHO PERISHED IN
THE FIRE WHICH DESTROYED THE HALL WATERINGBURY
ON THE NIGHT OF THE SEVENTEENTH OCTOBER ONE
THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN
BORN TO KNOW NOT WINTER ONLY SPRING
ALSO OF HIS FATHER RICHARD BOOTH LESLIE
BAZLEY-WHITE DSO CAPTAIN ROYAL WEST KENT
REGIMENT WHO DIED WITH HIM AND OF HIS MOTHER
KATHARINE BECKFORD BAZLEY-WHITE WHO GAVE HER
LIFE IN TRYING TO SUCCOUR HIM AND OF HIS NURSE
ROSA WEEKS IN WHOSE ARMS HE WAS FOUND
The love and wisdom of God
We do not know what she’s thinking.
Something about a love she once had
and lost, the mechanics of an ingrown
toenail. She has a pretty face, we know
that, which is to say he’d desire her
if he looked up. He has a strong back,
probably, maybe a woman at home
right now bending over a tub of laundry,
a remote control. Let’s not imagine
the worst. People have to live and they
have to be able to have a little fun. It’s
the great escape of the wolf in everyone
that makes the paycheck such a tolerable
instrument for measuring life’s inequities.
Her name is Ariel, his Francisco. He grew
up in a village where everyone had sisters
so he knows the mystery of woman is
insoluble. She was an only child, a spoiled
brat, but has become a good person,
disturbed by the world’s blindness
when it looks at some. She looks at many
and sees the goose, the lion and the dove
that rise each day from every human bed.
She sees the movement of shadow as it
transforms a clear head into a place
of violence. But she knows it’s love
that will save the world if it can be saved.
Now she is thinking about bread,
the joy of good teeth. He’s thinking
about beer, Mozart, the glorious
necessity of the absurd.
Anyone know who robotsmith@live.com is? Cause that's what my wife's new iPhone is asking her to sign in with.
I know I have been putting up a lot of landscape/scenery pics from Jiuzhaigou lately, so for those of you who nature may be too much I present you with a Tibetan Beauty! I think she's beautiful but I tried some of the food she eats and it's really revolting. I nearly threw up just smelling the yak butter tea ha ha :-)
You KNOW I had to get this game. I can play William with my favorite MALE anime Character: Goku! Yes, Goku WAS HIS MENTOR(at level 70)!
***GAME IDEAS***
If you didn't know anything about me, I am known for videogame ideas. This game would be perfect if it had these ideas.
1. More CAPES please.....c'mon.
2. The Hyperbolic Time Chamber [indoors] - this is similar to a practice mode in other fighting games. The player can practice their combos without the fear of being registered online or count against them as loses or wins. The player can control the opponent or put into computer mode with levels.
3.The ability to change the colors of the main characters of the series clothes or make a generic version of the main characters of the series clothes(no bonuses).
4. Three new(?) powers called "Healing", Cure & Remove. Healing is based on Dende' powers of Dragonball Z. These powers have two versions: Healing(a Strike Super version) and a Ki Blast Super using a more powerful version to heal the group. Healing which acts as an "Energy Capsule"(S-Z according to level). Cure acts as a "Mr. Antidote"(S-Z according to level) and Remove acts as a "Mr. Shape Up"(according to level).
5.The ability to use your custom characters to form your 3 man team. Battle with or against your created characters in local/offline battles(as guest players).
6.Crossplay format. This is to allow players using the PS3 to transfer the data to their PS4 or allow PS4 players to transfer their data to their PS3(to play with family or friends who do not own a PS4 yet). To make the TRUE William, I NEED DBZ's SHARPNER's hairstyle!
Holland, Kyle, and Amanda D'Amico. I Know the Woods Come Alive at Night. Philadelphia: The University of the Arts, 2018.
"I Know the Woods Come Alive at Night depicts the forest as if it were an architectural structure with a carpet leading visitors to the entrance. However, with only experiencing the outside, we are left to wonder what this liminal space contains. That text in this book was excerpted from an online hunting forum entitled "Do you ever get afraid in the woods?" and is positioned low on the pages, causing the viewer to crouch down to read as if they are looking for something in the thicket. These posts are confessions of fear which disprove my notion of the Southern male archetype and convey how I feel about going into the woods at night."--Artist's statement.

I know this is the New York Public Library....... but who can tell me the date, the event and the identity of the people in the car?
A photo from the collection I obtained from Elsie Moosman's estate in New York, Nov, 2008.
Now that I know that this is La Guardia it is interesting to note that the lions in the background were named 'Patience' and 'Fortitude' by La Guardia because, he said, those were the qualities that New Yorkers` needed to get through the great depression. Perhaps their day has come again!
I know it is predictable to have this song with this picture, but it has always been one of my favorite songs and has a lot of meaning to me. I love these fluffy roses, I know they have a technical name, but I am terrible with flower's. Let's pretend they are roses, they must be in the rose family... umm, yeah that's it :)
"Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razer
that leaves your soul to blead
Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you it's only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of wakingthat never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dyingthat never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winterfar beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose" - ( or peonies *smile*)

I am an androgynous/transgender person. No one knows and I am afraid to come out for fear of hatred and persecution
Your a person who hides from the sun so you don't feel warmth. That way when the season changes you wont miss having the sun because you never felt it in the first place. Your a person who ducks when a bird is flying above you because you're afraid it will take you away.
For those who don't know, cons generally don't want you to wave weapons around. To prevent this, the gun, sword or knife is tied down to its holster, scabbard or sheath so while it's still there, it can't be pulled out. This is known as "Peace Bonding."
What happened here was that an (in)security guard saw the Death Eater with his wand out and said that was wrong as someone might get stabbed with it. The person who did the "peace bonding" was surprised and put it on this way.
Now what did this "Peace Bonding" of the Death Eater's wand do? He can still do what he was doing before, except there's a little piece of blue paper attached. Maybe it rendered it so the wand can't do any magic, making it just a sharp stick, which he can still wave it around.
I would like to add that there were MANY weapons and wands out and this was just about the only peace bonded item that I saw. If you were Harry Potter or Luna Lovegood, sure, have that wand out all the time. But a Death Eater?? Profiling, that's what I call it.
To sum up:
1) Peace Bonding at CC did NOT mean the weapon was tied down; they could be still waved around.
2) Several people with guns, swords, knives and wands were not peace bonded.
In short...the only thing this did was to help one (in)security guard's ego.
Of course, maybe a representative from Ollivanders took a look and said, "Oak, 11 inches, firm with unicorn tail." And if someone was Avada Kedavred, then M.C.I.S. (Magical Criminal Investigation Service) would be called in and when the body was taken to Forensics and they found the type of wand that was used, they could go to the wands that were registered at the con.
I was later told that the paper band was let Security know the weapon wasn't real. Really?
The mist is gone, it's a sunny day and I need to go out and find something happy and colorful.

When DM&E westbounds will roll out of Minnesota City. This one sat in town all day, and finally rolled west...just when the sun went down. Sigh.
Siberian Elm at the base of our retaining wall, this cute little sapling could turn into big trouble...
Yes, I know, cliché, cliché, cliché you might scream. Yes, tomorrow is Valentine's Day and there probably will be a gazillion pictures like this being uploaded to Flickr! today and tomorrow. But still … I mean, everybody knows that Valentine's Day gives flower and praliné shops their biggest turnover of the year. But what I didn't know is that also pharmacies start trying to jump on the commercial train of February 14th. I'm not sure what these guys are trying to sell in particular, but obviously they think that fluffy green hearts in their windows will attract more customers. "Come in and get some Aspirin or Viagra for your loved one" …
