I just joined the library today, after ten years in Korea it is good to have access to English books again. Perks of being home I guess. Borrowed some Photoshop technique books and this photo is the result. A composite of three images, the main photo...a statue (which I shot in Busan a while back), plus some texture and Bokeah that I got from: www.flickr.com/photos/lesbrumes/ Thanks to Lesbrumes for sharing your textures.
Just realized my pro account has expired and my last upload to Flickr was late in 09. Gosh, have I been away from Flickr for that long?.
2011, an Innovation Knowledge Centre (IKC) for Smart Infrastructure and Construction was set up, based in the Department of Engineering, but involving colleagues from across the University – in the Department of Architecture, the Computer Laboratory and Judge Business School. The IKC works with construction, infrastructure and technology firms. Its aim is ambitious: its founders believe that it could kick-start a new industry dedicated to smart infrastructure and construction in the UK.
Kasi, Zach, and I took a walk around old downtown Denton, TX today.. We went to the recycled book store and some antique stores and I found these interesting sights around...
This is my favorite of the four I put up today.... It's amazing to think that for almost any conceivable topic, there is someone out there who has studied it and put their thoughts on paper.... It makes me realize how little I really know...

The history of the guild house Wolfengasse 4
Information and knowledge of the value of the building of the Bauinnung (construction guild) Vienna
It was the year 760 AD, as a "Poumeister" (Baumeister - master builder) called Fanciscuß Sieß of Eisleben built the Vienna Ruprecht's Church and with this his work the first documented surviving evidence of the activity of a builder on Wiener ground rendered.
A historic date for the Vienna building industry, which should be followed in the previous twelve centuries by a myriad of other historically important events. Important, because there were ever and ever again Viennese architects who attracted attention by their yet for a long time world-famous performances. Achievements that have significantly influenced the outer face of the city of Vienna and which as stone witnesses of the ingenuity, the sense of beauty and craftsmanship and technical skill of the builder of bygone eras fascinate an international audience again and again. A tradition that has become a commitment for the present and for the future of structural activities.
Such a commitment of the Vienna building sector to tradition was also the renovation of the in the years 1849-1850 built Vienna guild house, of a beautiful profane example of neo-Gothic style on Vienna 's oldest ground.
In detail work this listed building in Vienna's first district in the Wolfengasse No. 4 from the ground up has been renovated externally and internally and now reveals in new splendor all its architectural beauty of yesteryear.
That this guild house adorns the lettering "Ancient main builder's hut Vienna" is by no means just a matter of chance. Emerged from the ancient Roman and early Christian builder's huts, the Klosterbauschulen (buildings schools of the monasteries) and Bauzünften (construction guilds), having arisen alongside the Dombauhütten (cathedral builder's huts), the builder's huts can be considered as the forerunners of the organization of the construction industry. Its organizational and legal basis, the so-called Bauhütten orders (builder's huts orders), regulated, among other things, the behavior and life of masters, journeymen and apprentices. Moreover, the handicraft arts have been transmitted orally from builder's hut to builder's hut..
In the Central European cultural area, there were four main builder's huts. Namely, the at Strasbourg, Berne, Cologne and Vienna.
Now regarding the main builder's hut in St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna, so was on it on 20 February 1637 the union of all master stonemasons and master masons and their journeymen decided.
So was also the now refurbished Guildhall middle of the 19th Century built by the Guild of civil architects and master stonemasons. In its boardroom some historical interesting memorabilia are kept: so, e.g., two guild boards, which could be described as a precursor of the modern form of a membership evidence.
In the course of the carried out renovation measures but also structural sins have been mad good again, which were committed by the foreign dedicated use of so many guild premises. So was, e.g., the old journeymen hall by relocating a flat with its Gothic arches uncovered again. Today it serves as a club room for meetings in smaller groups.
The guild house is to see in connection with the hotel across the street as an ensemble, and so Wolfengasse presents itself with its Gothic measurement system in full structural beauty, by which also a piece of old-town romance is kept.
The history of Wolfengasse 4
The Wolfengasse 4 is located in one of the oldest districts of Vienna.
Originally it was located outside the walls of the former castle of the Romans.
It was not until 1200 the district was protected by a new wall.
For a long time remained Wolfengasse nameless and was still in 1439 simply as Gäßlein (small alley) denominated.
1695 the alley became "Weißes Wolfen Gäßlein" and since 1862 Wolfengasse.
From 1300 to 1361, the Cistercian Abbey Baumgarten in Upper Austria was owner of the property.
1457 the house became a Burse - home for students (till 1546)
Later the owner was a horse and cart entrepreneur
1801 an innkeeper bought the house
1848 bought the "United Guild of the Lords Civil architects and Master stonemasons in Vienna" the property - Purchase price 68,000 guilders and 100 ducats
1849 the house was demolished, and there were built two four-story buildings
In 1944 destroyed and plundered
1953 reconstruction
1978 renovated under guild master Hofstädter.
1981 under IN (Innungsmeister - guild master) Hutschinski followed the relocation of the offices of the National (Viennese) Guild from the Rathausstraße 21 in Wolfengasse 4
2000 - 2001 - Renewal under IM Grün

The official pictures from the RSA's 2013 Benjamin Franklin Medal ceremony - presented to Walter Isaacson in New York City.
The award dinner was made possible in part by the generosity of members of the Benjamin Franklin Medal Committee.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the RSA-US Challenge Fund and RSA-US Student Design Awards Program, two foundation blocks of the core initiatives of the RSA in the United States. Both of these programs are going into their second year, and both have an impressive track record of inspiring and empowering young social innovators – perhaps among them a future Benjamin Franklin Medalist.
The Benjamin Franklin Medal has a rich history dating back to its inaugural year of 1956, the 250th anniversary of Franklin’s birth and the 200th anniversary of his membership to the RSA. It is awarded to individuals, groups and organizations who have made profound efforts to forward social progress in areas closely linked to the RSA’s agenda. Winners over the years have included General Colin Powell, Senator George Mitchell, Dame Judi Dench, Peter Ustinov, Margot Fonteyn, and David Attenborough. Long time Fellows will remember the Medal presentation to William Hewlett under the stars at Menlo College; or the moving speech given by UK Ambassador to the UN Sir Jeremy Greenstock at the event honoring Phil Lader just a few weeks after 9/11.
Each celebration is unique, and every medalist inspires us in a different way.

Goddess Saraswati is the goddess of learning, wisdom, knowledge, fine arts, refinement, science and technology at Hinduism.Every Year a prayer (worship, honour) is performed to satisfy her called Saraswati Puja. Many youth clubs, boys clubs and student orgnisations in Bangladesh arranges Saraswati Puza by themselves. This photo was taken at a Saraswati puja organised by a boyes club at Shakharibazar, Dhaka. The boys were so much dedicated to achieve the blessings of knowledge from goddess Sarasswati as the photo tells.
