This is my friend Hillary. She is also a photographer, but this time, I got her in front of the lens without her really realizing it.
It's warming up so much in Columbia. This weekend was 90 degrees. What better way to celebrate than to bask in all the spring time glory at the Congaree River. The water is freezing, but if its warm enough you're body can adjust to where its manageable.
Heres to the beginning of summer!

02_18_06 Mast Glue Up 2 - I use masking tape strapped around a dry-fit mast to make the staves more manageable when gluing up. "More manageable" is, of course, a relative term. It's still akin to wrestling angry greased snakes, but at least with tape to help wrangle, one doesn't have to do it while wearing boxing gloves. I still swore a lot more than I care to admit. I used lots of rope and sticks to make Spanish Tourniquets for tightening the staves. Cheap and effective and I don't have to fidget with a screwdriver or other tool while tightening hose clamps. Oh, also they are free. Magic words. After the staves are under control, the mast is checked for straightness. This one was fine. The mizzen, which is smaller and thus has much more flexible staves, needed to be blocked up on a spare timber for support while the glue set.

this is a disorder I have to live with for the life.
the blood disorder, heredity hemorrage teleangica which causes blood clots, nosebloods, heavy periods, and migraines
and I am sure there's more symptoms that HHT causes.
Nosebloods is one of most common symptoms which happens maybe every day, or more frequently. I cannot give blood to Red Cross because this blood is a rare type, almost nobody has it except my family. It is manageable, but quite difficult to tolerate through the day.
HHT, heredity hemorrage teleangica which i've gotten to accept is a disorder I will live with.
He/she followed us all around the museum and out to the car park!
Greece is the perfect destination if you're a cat lover, and Rhodes has to be one of the best islands for cat-spotting. A lot of the population is feral, cared for by the Greek Cat Wefare Society, but many cats are of course pets. I don't know if these are feral or domesticated, although a lot of feral ones have the tip of one ear clipped if they've been neutered (to keep the population at manageable levels), and this one doesn't have that tell-tale sign.

One of the challenges with this shoot—beside shooting angles to make this unique compared to my last session at this location—was actually not with the shoot itself, but during processing. I snapped 221 images, each one fairly unique. I had to narrow them down to a manageable size for processing and inclusion in our portfolios. There were just so many excellent options that it was hard to get it down. These are just the first in nearly 30 images I will be processing. The challenge lies within making it so no two look the same.
Gift time! 808 examines the hatchet we bought him at Home Depot, featuring an UNBREAKABLE plexiglass handle. After watching him spend untold efforts with a hammer and axe at X-Day, cutting firewood into manageable pieces, axeing his own leg, and eventually breaking the wooden handle to his axe.... It's time to upgrade the 8's axe. Plus, they did not have a weapon for self-defense during their cross country tour. This axe would fuck up anyone who dared challenge it. MURRRRDERRRRRR!!!

BACKSTORY: After 808 and Gigglepuss got married at the SubGenius GFY NYC Devival, they went on a cross-country Honeymoon tour visiting various SubGenii in their home towns. We were the first destination, and among the first to get their heads measured.
I love the change of seasons, the contrasts, the different colors, the different light, the different weather conditions... Further more I like the Top 20 group system because of it's manageable number and a continual change of images in the group.
That's the reason why I've started 4 brandnew Top 20 groups (I wondered about they didn't already exist so far):
If you like that subject too and have some nice photos fitting the topics, it would be really a great pleasure to welcome you in one or all of these new groups!
In this mosaic you can see a small assortment of my seasonal pics (all photos are taken in Munich, Bavaria and around):

Shuffle, step back, shuffle dance. I seem to like giving myself too many rules to break. Diagonal+ bluegreen+value and pairing each fabric with all the others but nothing touching the same print. Love the process. A design wall so helps keep it manageable.
Ever since the park service closed Topsail Rd. to the public, reaching these gems was a bit of a stretch.
It's a long walk from the main entrance, but if you can find a place to park out on 98, it's a more manageable hike along the nature trails right up to the lakes.

I had the pleasure of attending the Carnevale in Venice in February 2011 - what a great experience! This was about my 4th or 5th Carnevale and they keep getting better. Many of the masked characters recognized me from prior years and gave me great access for photos. I also had the chance to shoot with many others; some in masks and costumes, some face paintees, and some faces in the crowd - great fun. Because of the large number of photos I took during the Carnevale I will use a separate set for each day to make it manageable. These photos are from my first day there, Sunday, 27 February 2011.
IDP's from Tikrit and Ramadi.
The refugee flow to the wealthy continent of Europe is just the tip of the iceberg. It's a minor crisis compared to the real refugee crisis hitting Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan, where resources are not so plenty as in Europe. Belgium is not overwhelmed by a flood of refugees like Kurdistan. Many internal Iraqi refugees from areas which have been taken by IS flee to the Kurdish region in northern Iraq. Most refugees remain in the region, and within the sphere of influence of the conflicts of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Browse through these photos by photographer Baram Maaruf and you might get a better understanding of the scope of the "crisis" in Europe: limited and perfectly manageable. It's a not a "refugee crisis", but a crisis of "political will".
ARBAT IDP CAMP
Arbat Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp is located outside the city of Sulaymaniyah in Iraq's Kurdistan Region. It is one of the most overcrowded refugee camps in Iraq. The camp was supposed to house 800 displaced Iraqi families, but now there are more than 2000 families (23.000 people). In each tent there are several families. It was established for Syrian refugees as a transit camp, but it turned into a camp for internally displaced Iraqi refugees. As the crisis in Iraq enters its second year with no political or military solution in sight, the government and aid groups are being forced to seek longer-term humanitarian solutions for the more than three million displaced by violence across the country.
ASHTI CAMP
It’s a short drive to a new camp location just five km away: Ashti Camp. UNHCR and its partners began to move residents to better-equipped facilities in June 2015. Ashti camp, was recently completed and will eventually accommodate some 1000 families who will be moved from Arbat Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp. They are displaced Iraqis sheltering in Iraq's Kurdistan Region. It looks like the foundation of a new village. Instead of pitched upon packed earth, tents here rest on poured concrete foundations. Plumbing is underground and electric wiring runs along poles that neatly follow the camp's grid layout.
ARBAT PERMANENT CAMP
The third refugee camp is a permanent camp for 6000 Syrian refugees, mainly Kurds from Kobani and Qamishlo. It looks like a village with paved roads, electricity wires, shops, little brick houses. Even though the whole “village” looks miserable, it is much “better” compared to Arbat Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp.

I finally found the courage to make my first Steam Punk block. It was fiddly and took me aaaaaggggges but I love it still. I might try and make one block a week, I'll have a quilt within a year. That is manageable with so many other projects on the go. I was inspired to try after seeing beautiful Steam Punk blocks from @farahlin_ and @lucyandnorman. Pattern and template from @amitie_textiles.
This blend is always a beautiful display but particularly this time around. It has a very nice manageable size of 5' tall that does not need to be staked.
Love, love this fiery color combo!
Sadly, an all too familiar aftermath of Christmas. A load of Christmas waste dumped at this lay-by on Thornhill Road. Simply too lazy to either reduce the waste (a lot of which appears to be cardboard which, in any case is recyclable) to manageable proportions to fit in household bins, or take it to the council tip at nearby Panteg.
Samayapuram Mariamman Temple
Samayapuram Mariamman Temple is a Hindu temple in Samayapuram near Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu, India. The main deity, Samayapurathal or Mariamman is made of sand and clay like many of the traditional Mariamman deities, and hence unlike many other Hindu deities there are no abhishekams (sacred washing) conducted to the main deity, but instead the "abishekam" is done to the small stone statue in front of it.
It is believed by the devotees that the Goddess has enormous powers over curing illnesses[1] and hence, it is a ritual to buy small metallic replicas, made with silver or steel, of various body parts that need to be cured, and these are deposited in the donation box.[citation needed]
Devotees also offer mavilakku, (Tamil - மாவிளக்கு) a sweet dish made of jaggery, rice flour and ghee. [2] Offerings of raw salt is also made to the Goddess by the rural devotees.
The temple attracts thousands of devotees on Sundays, Tuesdays and Fridays, the holy days for Mariamman. Samayapuram is the second most wealthy (in terms of cash flows) temple in Tamil Nadu after Palani.
History of the temple is unclear. In early 18th century, King Vijayaraya Chakkaravarthi built the present day form of the temple.[3] There is scant history of the period before that though it is believed that the locals worship the Goddess for many centuries before building the current temple. One legend says that the present deity was at the Ranganathaswamy temple at Srirangam, and one of chief priests of the temple believed that the idol caused him illness and hence asked it to be removed from the temple. It is a common belief in that part of the region that such local Gods have immense powers and they must always be satisfied by proper offerings and sacrifices. The idol was moved outside Srirangam, and later found by some of the passerby who built a temple named, the Kannanur Mariamman temple.
During that period (around 17th century CE), Trichi was ruled by the Vijayanagar kings and the area was used as an army base. It is believed that they made a commitment to build the temple if they win the war and after attaining success they built a shrine for the Goddess. Originally it was under the management of the Thiruvanaikaval temple, a popular one in the region. Later, the control was split and currently Samayapuram is under an independent trust monitored by the Government of Tamil Nadu, which also monitors the annadanam distribution (an act of offering food to the devotees).[4]
Festivals[edit]
Samayapuram Mariyamman Temple Corridor-3.jpg
Thai Poosam, usually occurring in the Tamil month of Thai.
Like most Tamil temples the main festival is during the start of the summer, generally in April. During this time, the temple chariot processions and teppams (lake processions) happen.[5]
All the Fridays in the Tamil months of Aadi (July 15 - Aug17) and Thai (Jan 15 - Feb 15) are celebrated in a grand manner.
Significance of the temple[edit]
Samayapuram is a significant symbol of the native culture in rural Tamil Nadu and there a number of unique practices concerning the Mariamman temples. Samayapuram has been used a model to describe rural folklore in a number of research works on sociology and religion.[6][7][8]
During festivals, it is not unusual to find people doing extreme things to make their bodies suffer as an act of sacrifice including, walking over a red-hot bed of charcoal and holding hot mud-vessel in bare hands. Mariamman temples also typically involve Samiyattam wherein one of the deveotees (usually a female), gets hyper-excited during prayer and starts talking in an hysteric way interpreted by the devotees as an act of communication by God.[6][7]
Heritage of Samayapuram outside India[edit]
The legacy of Samayapuram is well spread beyond Tamil Nadu and even after centuries of emigrating from India, many people in Sri Lanka, Singapore, South Africa and Fiji still maintain their loyalties to the temple and try to create similar temples and environment in their new country, raising both a cause of concern and an appreciation of diversity.There is also a Samayapuram Mariamman Temple in Tanjong Rambutan at Malaysia.There is also a shrine for Goddess Sri Samayapuram Mariamman at the Sri Veeramuthu Muneeswarar Temple which is located at Yishun Industrial Park,Singapore. During the month of Aadi,the annual Kozh Valarpu festival is conducted with much granduer by the Sri Samayapuram Mariamman Pillaigal at Jurong West,Singapore.[8][9]
Chithirai Ther Thiruvila (Chariot Festival in the month of Chithirai --- April)[edit]
Samayapuram is located 15 KM from Tiruchirappalli on the National Highway (NH-45) which is now a 4 Lane Road from Chennai to Tiruchirappalli.
Here, at Samayapuram, the Chithirai Chariot Festival is celebrated for a period of 13 days. The Festival Starts on the 1st Tuesday of the month “Chithirai”. The Chariot Festival will be on the 10th day of the Festival. The Chariot (Car) with Goddess Samayapuram Mariamman will be pulled by devotees around the Temple. It is a Maha Festival --- Grand Festival, which attracts Lakhs of Devotees.
Arrangement during the Chariot Festival[edit]
During the Chariot Festival, no vehicle is allowed to go inside SamayaPuram Town and all the vehicles are stopped one Kilometer away from the Town and everybody have to go to the temple by walk.
The Crowd is so much, though the Government made so many arrangements, still it is un-manageable. Luckily for Devotees, nowadays, they are following the traffic rule of left side walking in the road. This helps a lot for the smooth movement, which avoids any complications associated with big crowds. Still you will find that so many children missing, which is being announced during the festival time in the loud speakers.
During the Chariot Festival time, the Local Government arranges a ‘’’Special Bus Stand’’’, which is one Kilometer away from the SamayaPuram Town. All the Buses and any other 2 / 3 / 4 wheelers are stopped there only. The vehicles which are going beyond Samayapuram in NH-45 will only be allowed with a little bit delay.
The 4 laning of the National Highway 45 has helped to ease traffic congestion to a considerable extent. Onward traffic can take the flyover, while those going to Samayapuram for Darshan can take the Service Lane which leads to the Temple.
For festival days, during the Chithirai Chariot Festivals, there are 24 hours bus services to nearby places like, Salem, Namakkal, Karur, Thuraiyur, Thanjavur and other nearby Small Towns. Further, there are continuous Town Bus Services provided which mainly connect to Tollgate (Salem-Trichy main road junction), Chatram Bus Stand and Central Bus Stand.
During the Festival days we can see that, the Tamil Nadu Police, NCC, Scout (School and College Students) Controlling the Crowd every where including the Temple premises.
Mother of all Mothers --- The Goddess Shiva Sakti ---Samayapurathal is so Powerful to fulfill the Prarthanas of Devotees. In very few temples, you can see the presiding deity from the entrance of the temple. Yes, Samayapurathu Mariyamman is visible from the Main Entrance of the Temple and it will look like that the mother is waiting for your arrival.
NRD159M was a gonner in the grand scheme of things when the Ribble group got hold of her. She was for spares and, stripped thereof, became a storage shed for other bits of scrap.
There was, if I recall correctly, an abortive attempt to drag her around the yard whilst full of said scrap. However, she's a bus not a skip and I think this act snapped her in two. In these photos you can see the cuts made to break her down into more manageable chunks.
A week later when more of the dynamat came in, I began installing the Dynaliner in the rear of the car. I only got the ¼” thick stuff, as if you get too tall, the carpet (with its jute backing) will not fit right. This stuff came in 32x54” sheets and I found it was best to cut it into 27x16” pieces to make it more manageable. I went the extra 10 miles by cutting out channels for the wiring to reduce “bulging” through the carpet. I also wanted to keep all important wiring visible and easily accessible in case service is ever required.

St. Mellion Golf Club's 2014 Mens & Ladies Club Championships started on the hottest day of the year so far, temperatures were well into the the thirties for the Saturday medal round on the Kernow Course. Mike Bush had set out some of the toughest pins ever seen on a course that was firm and bouncing. The temperatures were a little cooler for the second medal round on the legendary Nicklaus Course making the course much more manageable, although being the Nicklaus it was never going be easy! The presentation of prizes was hosted on the Nicklaus 18th green afterwards by Club Captain Robin Hancock and Lady Captain Sue Poole. A great weekend of Golf.

Cute red kimono ^_^ Also, Miyu-chan got a hair cut recently. Just a trim, but more manageable/realistic at this length :)
Bear baiting is a horrible, heart-breaking sport where a terrified bear is attacked by two trained fighting dogs for the sake of entertainment.
WSPA believes there are about 70 bears trapped in this cruelty throughout Pakistan. We're in the process of building a new sanctuary home for them.
You can help by making a $5 donation today to support the new sanctuary. Why $5? It's a manageable amount & it happens to be how much it costs to feed a rescued bear for a day.
The LNB (Low Noise Block Down-Converter) is part of the receive chain of your VSAT. Located on the feed horn, the LNB converts the satellite signal that was reflected off of the satellite antenna’s reflector from C-Band into an L-Band signal. The L-Band signal is in the frequency range of 950 to 1750 MHz and is considered more manageable. This is partially due to the fact that the transmission of the lower frequency signal can be more reliable when using a coaxial cable than is the case when higher frequency C-Band signals are transmitted of on this type of cable. Virtually all new satellite routers today use L-Band inputs. An LNB can be identified by its F-type output connector.
I had the pleasure of attending the Carnevale in Venice in February 2011 - what a great experience! This was about my 4th or 5th Carnevale and they keep getting better.

I also had the chance to shoot with many others; some in masks and costumes, some face paintees, and some faces in the crowd - great fun.

This is a photograph from the annual Ardagh Moydow Glen Community Games 5KM and 10 Mile road races, 5KM fun runs, walks and challenges which were held in the heritage village of Ardagh, Co. Longford, Ireland on Saturday 29th December 2018 at 13:00. This race has grown year on year since its first running a few years ago. This year seen one of the largest overall entries in the races.
We have an extensive set of photographs from the race start and the finish on our Flickr photostream set at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157703633931361
Timing and Event management was provided by Irish company PopupRaces - check their website at www.popuparces.ie
The 10 mile race takes in the local 'Ardagh Mountain' which is a 1 mile continuous climb starting at the 2.5 mile mark of the 10 mile race. There is, of course, then the reward of a long down-hill stretch after the summit. This forested hill or mountain was once a famous centre of pre-Christian religious worship and is believed to have been the home of a pre–christian diety named Midir (the God of the Underworld), and also a Prince of the "Tuatha De Dannan", the fairy people of Ireland. The hill or mountain itself is named after Brí, the daughter of Midhir and her doomed love, Leith who are reputed to be buried on the hill. The remainder of the race is challenging but fair, with some much smaller and less steep hills in the race profile. Miles 3 - 7 benefit from some downhill as the race route travels around the base of the hills. The roads are predominantly rural roads with little traffic. The 10 mile race finishes in the same finish as the 5KM race. Water stops and adequate stewarding at junctions is provided.
The 5KM race takes a loop around the heritage village of Ardagh. This allows runners, walkers and joggers of all ability to take part over a more manageable distance. Overall this is a very well organised race with accurate courses, good marshalling and traffic control and excellent after race refreshments. The 10 mile race is one of the longest road races held during the Christmas period anywhere in Ireland and has appeal to runners who want to add a longer distance race to their festive calendar of running.
The weather at this year's race was almost perfect for running. The rain managed to stay away and there was little or no breeze. Indeed conditions could be described as mild with temperatures of 11C. In 2014 there was very frosty icy weather and in 2015 participants were given a very very windy day with heavy rain at the finish of both races. The 2016 and 2017 event seen very suitable weather for road racing in late December.
Ardagh is probably County Longford's most picturesque village with many historical and architecturally important features. It is located about 6 miles from Longford town.

I had a great walk round the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail today. I went fully equipped to get some "slow water" shots of the waterfalls, but in the end the landscapes over the top were better. This was taken with two ND graduated filters (ND4 and ND8) stacked at the top to keep the sunlight manageable.
Looks best in the lightbox.
Last Wednesday morning was a bit rough for Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring. He had bough a kilogram of very fresh cod fish the previous afternoon so he had to get up early in the morning to get it ready to put in the smoker.
First, Aggie Ring cut it into manageable portions. Then he prepared a dry cure from salt, brown sugar and some spices. He covered the cod with the dry cure and put it in the refrigerator for about five hours. Aggie Ring was quite surprised at how much liquid the dry cure removed from the cod when he checked on it. There was almost enough liquid to cover the fish.
After washing and soaking the cod in fresh cold water for a bit, Aggie Ring placed it on drying racks for a couple of hours for a pellicle to form on the outside of the flesh which would assist in absorbing the smoke.
Aggie Ring put the cod into his smoker for about three hours and “painted” it with a maple syrup/spice mixture about every 30 minutes or so. When he removed the cod from the smoker, Aggie Ring allowed it to “rest” for about an hour before wrapping it up and putting it into the freezer.
While Aggie Ring isn’t the biggest fan of cod fish, it does flake easily and is quite good on a salad with some balsamic vinegar.

2020 note: Compact hydrangea with glistening white, upright panicles that eventually fade to lovely parchment and pink colors. The last one looked healthy then suddenly turned brown and died in 7/2020. A 2 gal potted plant. 2022note: very nice:)

Yoww! Well, Rapunzel was popular! Tori's lustrous black hair is a couple inches longer than SHE is! I'm sure that Joey will trim it down to more manageable levels, but at the moment, she is a hair brushers'/Twirly Curlers' Dream! [^D
On Saturday I left my sickness-infested house and ventured to my friend's home salon for a cut and a color. This is the first day I have washed it, and as any curly-haired girl will tell you, right after it's cut it gets all springy and, well, HUGE.
It feels good to get rid of the dead ends, and it was great to get out of the house. I even threw in a trip to Costco (On a SATURDAY. I KNOW.)
At least I was child-free, so it was manageable, despite all of the vultures who like to park their carts IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AISLE while they wait for a food sample.

It's most refreshing to see a doll that looked as awful as Maddie did before, look amazing after one click of a mouse. While it's easy to admire the transformation on the computer, in reality, it took a lot of work to get Miss Maddie into tip top shape. Firstly, I had to get her hands. I ordered these standard blue Maddie hands from Mattel's website. She's supposed to have black hands, but at least she's not stuck with Frankie Stein's appendages. The dress was also ordered online. I wanted to get a few Ever After High/Monster High outfits on eBay in order to build up a clothing hoard for my collection. That way when I got naked dolls like this Maddie, I'd have nice outfits for them to wear. It may be a Briar Beauty Hat-tastic Party dress, but I think it looks amazing on Miss Maddie nonetheless. Ordering the stuff for Maddie was pretty easy. But taming her hair was anything but a breeze. What you are looking at here is the result of potentially six boil washes. I lost count at some point--I boil washed her in three sessions, I believe twice during each session. Her hair detangled with ease (after piling loads of conditioner onto it and using a wide tooth comb). The dirt also came off without much of a fight with a good scrub down using dish soap, baking soda, and an old toothbrush (those are always my weapons of choice when fighting in the battle against dirty dolls). After initially washing her hair and detangling it, Colleen and I washed it twice more, since the dish soap could actually penetrate her hair once it was tangle free. She also required a tiny trim, because the ends of her hair were so very damaged looking even after three boil washes. Originally, her hair spiraled into huge curls after the first few boil washes. But by the later ones, I made sure to comb out her hair more frequently while she was soaking, which relaxed the curls into these more manageable waves. Her hair is very soft now, but I have a feeling she'll need regular maintenance. I even resorted to using the tiniest bit of hair serum just to give her hair a little extra shine. While her hair was loaded with glue when I first adopted her, after all those boil washes and conditioning treatments, Maddie's glue issue is pretty much gone!

Paper piecing sections... a visual map for what to put together to make manageable blocks.

I had the pleasure of attending the Carnevale in Venice in February 2011 - what a great experience! This was about my 4th or 5th Carnevale and they keep getting better. Many of the masked characters recognized me from prior years and gave me great access for photos. I also had the chance to shoot with many others; some in masks and costumes, some face paintees, and some faces in the crowd - great fun. Because of the large number of photos I took during the Carnevale I will use a separate set for each day to make it manageable. These photos are from my first day there, Sunday, 27 February 2011.

Childhood asthma, though often manageable and not life-threatening, can sometimes be a very dangerous disease. Treatment may involve ongoing use of medication to avoid or cope with serious exacerbation of the disease.
An ounce of prevention…
Because children are often much more physically...
The right shoulder of Orion, the Hunter.
So much happening this week. Dad broke a leg and a rib in a ski spill, dropped Emma off at the airport at 4:00am for her 8-day vacation to Oahu, and I'm starting to kick ass at my job at Gold's.
I'm busting out an overlay layer at 50% gray and painting in light and dark in a manner that's not destructive and infinitely more manageable than the traditional dodge and burn, and it's giving me some stellar results. This isn't retouched in any way, just "highlighted" and "lowlighted" in strategic areas.
What do you think?
