Built between 1867 and 1902, with later modifications in the mid-20th Century, this Gothic Revival-style Episcopal Cathedral was designed by William Slater and Richard Carpenter to function as the primary church for Episcopal Diocese of Hawaii. The building features a rusticated sandstone block exterior, gothic arched windows and doorways, smooth-faced stone trim, buttresses, a bell tower with gothic arched vents and four pillars, with one pillar being taller than the others, completed in 1912, a sanctuary with a high central nave and lower aisles, a semi-circular apse, a modernist front narthex with a large stained glass curtain wall, added in 1958 and designed by architect John Wallis. Next to the church stands Davies Hall, designed by B. F. Ingelow, which houses a vestry and meeting rooms and is connected to the sanctuary via a cloister with stone columns and gothic arches, as well as a semi-circular bay window facing Queen Emma street and a timber-frame front porch. On the other side of the sanctuary is the Tenney Auditorium and Parke Memorial Chapel, which are clad in stucco and were built in 1940 under the direction of C. W. Dickey, featuring a gabled and hipped slate roof, gothic arched windows, buttresses, and lanais with stone columns and gothic arches. Behind the church is a series of buildings mostly built during the 20th Century that house St. Andrew's Schools, private Episcopal Schools which are affiliated with the church, and vary in style from Gothic Revival to modern and postmodern. The cathedral is a contributing structure in the Hawaii Capital Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
Made by gluing a silencer onto a Brickarms Combat SMG and replacing the extendable stock with an Assault Carbine stock.
When we were asked to experiment with the Holga, I determined I didn't want to do anything that would permanently ruin the camera because I may end up using it in the future. Thus, I cut small strips of paper and taped them strategically in the back of the camera so that the resulting design would appear as part of the image.
This photograph was shot in the courtyard on the Marietta College campus between the Dawes Memorial Library and McDonough Leadership Center. I placed the Holga on the stones around a small garden next to one of the walkways. Although the trash can sort of disturbs the image, I feel as if I'm looking into an area at a zoo waiting for an animal to come out from hiding when I look at this photo.
The original negative was washed out and you could tell that the paper was blue so I played with levels to make the photo more colorful. After doing this, the image appeared very green so I changed the Red curve in order to get a contrast between the greenery in the foreground and the brick building in the background.
Here you see another option with 4 full pieces of FBR used instead of half, it gets rather crowded in there this way, I found it better to use the halves and fill in the rest with glue.
I had to drill and tap four 1/4-20 holes in the StarSense camera bracket for mounting it to the Vixen bar.
-- A fundamental modification in meaning and value of pure form-elements arises with the addition of colors, which not only determine the emotional atmosphere of a pictorial representation or its inner vision, but open a new dimension. While the three Euclidian dimensions of space with which we are familiar represent three outwardly directed movements, colors and tonal values (attention may be drawn to the double meaning of "tonal," which can be related to colors as well as to music) are inwardly directed and thus create a space in which things exist not only side by side but also within each other, and yet not dissolving or annihilating each other.
-- Color and sound (music) are direct expressions of psychic experiences which cannot be grasped, defined, or expressed by the intellect. While pure abstract forms initially appeal to the intellect, colors appeal first and foremost to feeling. The intellect defines and limits; the same is done by form. Color, however, gives us the warmth of life, of feeling, of emotion and all the indescribable nuances of experience, which the intellect is not able to express or to define. Therefore, the virtue of form is clarity; the virtue of color is depth. From the intellect we demand clarity,consistency, logic, distinction; we demand the same of form. From feeling we demand depth; the same applies to color.
-- Thus, color reveals something that has to do with inner nature or emotional value of form, and this is all the more so to the extent that we keep away from a mere imitation of externally visible objects and create exclusively from our inner vision or our meditative experience.
-- Here the question arises whether any definite relation exists between fundamental forms and colors beyond our subjective attitude or experience.
-- If we consider that the universe---as it is reflected in our human consciousness---is composed of three fundamental forms and three fundamental colors, and that the forms as well as the colors develop into pairs of opposites which condition and compensate each other like the positive and the negative poles of a magnet, or like the active and passive properties of the male and the female, then it is hard to believe that this parallelism is a mere accident. Both express the structure of our three-dimensional world by which they are conditioned; they represent the same harmony in different dimensions---there is a definite relationship between colors and forms. This relationship may be expressed in different ways, according to the standpoint of the individual, but this changes only the key-note, not the melody. Even a different rhythm, according to the individual temperament and experience, would not destroy that melody.

I left the computer at the office for the first time ever.
Since going to bed, from my mobile, I have emailed:
- myself 2 ideas/notes,
- a task reminder for a friend sysdmin,
- and two moblog entries.
I haven't been this productive in bed in a whi...
Modification of microphone cover : having located the rubber membrane mic cover I carefully pealed it away so the the mic was able to pick up sound better. NOTE I did attempt to replace this cover with a very thin silicone rubber membrane, this was reasonably successful as the camera regained some water resistance however the sound quality was reduces too much so I have left the microphone uncovered.
I bought this little camera to record some workshop activity where the quality of the video was not that critical. The images from this little camera were quite good considering the price tag of £59. UK and was the main reason I bought it was cost.
However I found the sound for my uses to virtually unusable. Sound was surprisingly poor muted and muffled. So I made the decision to invalidate the warranty by opening it up. As expected the microphone was covered with a protective membrane (for its water resistant properties) which I removed, see other pictures and now the camera has very sensitive sound. The camera now has no warranty and cant be used in water however it will do what I wanted it to do :-).
Other notes the battery life is quite good running for about 70 minutes on one charge. Buttons feel a little hard to press again due to water resistant qualities.
PS I did do some test recording in water before the modification which was quite good.
In our ongoing quest to make the barn loft the most cowboy-themed living space ever, we bought this cowhide. When we laid it down, Lucy became very nervous. You could see the little wheels turning, "Hmmm. Black and white animals who don't cut it are made into rugs around here."
After years of apathy about hunting critters (we actually had to set a mousetrap when a mouse got in our house because Lucy would sit in her bed and watch it run across the floor), Lucy has become "Super Terrier", scourge of varmints everywhere.

Used sewing string for the paws since the bigger string couldn't fit @.@ Also got splashed, but that's not a problem since I"m going for darkest dark
