Dee Snider official Bio:
While perhaps best known as the lead singer of 80's sensation, Twisted Sister, there is so much more to Dee Snider. He has starred in several reality TV shows including The Celebrity Apprentice, Gone Country with John Rich, MTV’s Rock The Cradle with his son Jesse and Growing Up Twisted, an A&E series featuring the entire Snider family and their Long Island lifestyle. He is also a frequent host on MTV Networks and his own long running nationally syndicated radio show House Of Hair is heard on more than 200 stations in North America, houseofhaironline.com. His career as a voiceover artist has resulted in Dee being heard in many radio and TV commercials, documentaries and a year long stint as the introductory voice on MSNBC.
Never setting limits, Dee wrote, produced and starred in Dee Snider’s StrangeLand. This horror flick immediately became a classic of the genre, and StrangeLand 2 is currently in development. With the success of StrangeLand, Dee was tapped to host a weekly radio show on all things horror, Fangoria Radio, on the Sirius network. Dee's influence in the genre has led to a whole new generation of horror fans and producers.
In 2002, VH1 signed Dee to star as himself in their original movie production of Warning: Parental Advisory. Co-starring Mariel Hemingway, Jason Priestley and Griffin Dunne, Dee re-created his role during the congressional record labeling hearings of the mid 1980's. Battling the Beltway wives, most notably Tipper Gore, Dee, along with Frank Zappa and John Denver, turned DC politics upside down, carrying the banner of Dee’s Twisted Sister legendary anthem “We're Not Gonna Take It”.
Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't going to take it either. The California Governator enlisted Dee to help rally his political troops all the way to the Governor's mansion in California. At his last political rally in Sacramento, Schwarzenegger asked Dee to lead the way in singing “We're Not Gonna Take It”. California listened and the Terminator was elected Governor. Not to be outdone, the Mexican Government recruited Dee as well, using the anthem in a TV campaign to gain attention on their bid to set the country on a fiscal and judicial road to recovery.
His recent starring role on Broadway in the hit musical Rock Of Ages generated national TV appearances on The Today Show, CNN’s Joy Behar Show and a legendary spot on The Jimmy Fallon Show where Dee guested with The Spooks and Jimmy on Dee’s self penned hit, “I Wanna Rock”. The Broadway run inspired him to make a brand new CD for Razor & Tie featuring some of Broadway's greatest songs in his own indomitable style. A big year for Dee is assured. His CD “Dee Does Broadway” will be released on May 8th, along with his autobiography, “Shut Up and Give Me The Mic”, from Simon & Schuster, right before Warner Pictures releases the Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Catherine Zeta Jones and Russell Brand blockbuster film version of Rock Of Ages. The movie features two of Dee's biggest hits.
Snoqualmie Falls is a 268 ft (82 m) waterfall on the Snoqualmie River between Snoqualmie and Fall City, Washington, USA. It is one of Washington's most popular scenic attractions, but is perhaps best known internationally for its appearance in the cult television series Twin Peaks. More than 1.5 million visitors come to the Falls every year, where there is a two acre (0.8 ha) park, an observation deck, and a gift shop.
Most of the river is diverted into the power plants, but at times the river is high enough to flow across the entire precipice, which creates an almost blinding spray. High water occurs following a period of heavy rains or snow followed by warm rainy weather. This can occur during the rainy season which lasts from November through March. During high water, the falls take on a curtain form.
For the Snoqualmie People, who have lived for centuries in the Snoqualmie Valley in western Washington, Snoqualmie Falls is central to their culture, beliefs, and spirituality. A traditional burial site, to the Snoqualmie, the falls are "the place where First Woman and First Man were created by Moon the Transformer" and "where prayers were carried up to the Creator by great mists that rise from the powerful flow." The mists rising from the base of the waterfall are said to serve to connect Heaven and Earth.
The falls were first nominated for the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 as a traditional cultural property for its association with the beliefs of the Snoqualmie people. However, the property owner, Puget Sound Energy, objected to the listing. The falls were subsequently determined eligible for listing in the National Register. The owners rescinded their objection and on September 2, 2009, the falls were formally listed in the National Register.
The town of Snoqualmie Falls was located near the waterfall. It was associated with the Weyerhaeuser mill there. It had many structures, including an hospital, a school, community center, and many homes. When the town disbanded, many houses were moved to the nearby town of Snoqualmie.
The top of the waterfall is less than 100 yards (91 m) from the parking lot, which has a gift shop, espresso stand, and bathrooms. The main views are from the side of the falls, with a fence separating visitors from the edge of a cliff. This area has picnic tables and benches, and a small grassy meadow called the Centennial Green, where weddings are performed through the summer. Here, the river trail descends 300 feet in half a mile passing though temperate rain forest with moss covered Bigleaf Maple, Douglas-fir, Sword Fern and Salal and places to step off the trail and rest or enjoy the scenery.

... Perhaps to some of you this one is not as cute as a teddy bear or the owl shots last week,
but they're all cute in their own way :-)

Perhaps the BEST of the GTA games...San Andreas was KING!
CJ was my favorite lead.
Honestly, take back the graphics of GTA 4...just bring back the old gameplay!
Fenway Park is perhaps most famous for the left field wall called the Green Monster. Constructed in 1934, the 37-foot, two-inch high wall is 240 feet long, has a 22-foot deep foundation, and was constructed from 30,000 pounds of Toncan iron. The wall measures 310 feet from home plate down the left field line. The wall houses ne of two remaining original manual scoreboards in the majors (the other at Wrigley Field). Running vertically down the scoreboard, between the columns of out-of-town scores, are the initials "TAY" and "JRY" displayed in Morse code; a memorial to former Red Sox owners Thomas A. Yawkey and Jean R. Yawkey. In 1947, advertisements covering the left field wall were painted over using green paint, which gave rise to the Green Monster moniker. In 1975, the wall was remodeled and an electronic scoreboard installed, while the manual scoreboard changed to only show out-of-town scores from other American League games (NL scores returned in 2003). In 1976, the railroad tin panels in the wall were replaced by a Formica-type panel which resulted in more consistent caroms and less noise when balls hit the wall. Previously, a 23-½-foot tall screen protected cars and pedestrians on Lansdowne Street. However, the screen was replaced after the 2002 season with the Green Monster seats. Advertisements have also returned to the Green Monster in recent years.
The Triangle is a region of center field where the walls form a triangle 420 feet from home plate. That deep right-center point is conventionally given as the center field distance.
Unnamed Falls
LeConte Creek
Rainbow Falls Trail
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Tennessee
I got up early to hike the trail to Rainbow Falls along the Roaring Fork Motor Trail outside Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Arriving at the trailhead well before dawn for my first solo hike, I began trekking up the trail. The sign at the trailhead said "Rainbow Falls 2.7 miles." I thought to myself "sure I can do 2.7 miles." Little did I realize just what kind of 2.7 miles this was going to be. I stopped and photographed a couple of small falls that are abound on the creek and continued up hill. After about 3/4th of a mile of continuous rugged uphill hiking I stopped by this little falls and got some perspectives of it. After I was finished I started thinking about what lies ahead. Another 2 miles of this and decided that it was going to take me some time to reach my destination and I only had a few hours. So I decided to turn around and head back to the car, drive to the much shorter Grotto Falls trail and save this falls for a time when I could take my time and photograph all the little falls that littered this creek plus I wouldn't be rushed and kill myself in the process. Later that day I bought a Smoky Mountain waterfall guide and discovered that I had attempted a 2.7 mile hike with an elevation gain of nearly 2000 ft, surely not the best to start off the day without having warmed up the legs on a few shorter trails.

Nemesis, the agent of fate
---
[Information]
Villain? Monster? Or perhaps a tragic hero?
Once a renowned nomad who travelled across the lands helping all who seek his help, he travels in the hopes that he will one day put an end to the corporate machines that fuel wars, but no matter how hard he tried he couldn’t complete his mission. After being beaten again and again he takes it as a divine message. Believing it to be an act of fate he now walks the battlefield as an unstoppable force of nature, killing all who dare cross paths with him.
Recently contracted by Paramilitary Corporation to track down remnant rebels on Mars he now sets out once again to enact divine retribution on his foes

[Notes]
Hello everyone thanks again for clicking. I’m very proud to present to you my newest moc, Nemesis.
The reason he doesn’t have a code is because with this build I set out to design him as I would a character. I intentionally made his back story a tale of a tragic hero. Not someone who fell from great heights (of standing), but a man who fell from the height of his aspirations. I am quite a sucker for “tragic hero” types, hopefully one day I can make a short comic about his story.
That’ll be all for now goodbye.

This is not the first HEMI 'Cuda that I have recreated in Lego. It is, though perhaps the coolest.
Yellow is a real stand out colour on this model year, highlighted (or dark-lighted?) by the black side panels, which on the real car, have tall 'HEMI' lettering.
Why is the HEMI 'Cuda so important then?
M U S C L E S
The Muscle Car Era is one of the automobile industry’s Golden Era. The formula was simple: Small Car, Big Engine.
This was all relative, of course. Even the US Compacts were very large cars from the perspective of Europeans and Japanese. The engine was not a relative measure – the V8 fitted to the Plymouth shown was a mighty 7.0 litres capacity, at the time American engines were measured in cubic inches – 426 to be exact. A feature of the engine formed part of the car’s name HEMI – short for Hemispherical combustions chambers – a method for achieving high compression ratio and large valve diameters.
‘Cuda – well, that was just a shortened form of ‘Barracuda’ – the official name of the car on which this model was based. Most Barracuda were a bit less wild that the HEMI, with various engines of 3.2 to 7.2 litre capacity. For aficionados though, the HEMI model is the real deal – perhaps even the greatest of all muscle cars. Coupes and a much rare Convertible were available – the rarity of such cars elevating the current market value – a 1971 HEMI ‘Cuda convertible, one of 11 cars, sold for a staggering $3.5 Million in 2014.
To add to the drama, the HEMI ‘Cuda was available in a number of wild colours, any of them citrus toned, with matching groovy names. Year-on-year changes included various special paint schemes, including the black panels on the rear fenders of this car, matching the roof. For 1971 the car adopted twin headlamps, a one-year only feature. The HEMI was also fitted with a ‘shaker hood’, an exposed air intake protruding from the hood – the intake ‘shaking’ as the engine reacted from the mighty torque loads.
Alas, all golden eras come to an end, this one brought down by insurance premiums, unleaded fuel and vehicle emissions standards. For this reason, bona fide Muscle car legends remain the poster child for high-octane-fueled dream.
This HEMI 'Cuda is the one (the only one) Muscle car in my first Lego vehicle instruction publication:

If you are going to pick one only, this is the one.
Perhaps "mansion" is giving it too much credit?--but in any case, it was clearly once a very nice home, and at some point turned into an apartment house . . . now long deserted.
For the All New Scavenger Hunt challenge, illustrate a song from your favorite group/musician/musical. I love John Denver's music! This beautiful song was written when he was moving towards a divorce with this first wife. It was released as a duet with Placido Domingo, the opera singer. There's a wonderful video on You Tube that uses photos from flickr to illustrate this song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YnfCH7LNcM
"Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Thunder when it rains.
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you."
Exuberance is a diminishing quality these days. Perhaps our lives have become so complex, so quantified and dominated by bureaucracies, corporations and bean counters that our creativity and spirit has been sadly broken; certainly the opportunities to express genuine joy and unfettered happiness seem limited and constrained by too many responsibilities. The technological revolution is a double edged sword.
On one hand we have amazing advances in medical and communication technology; on the other, the monolithic interests of the corporate and government sector take advantage of the ability to closely monitor everything to create a greater sense of inequality and impersonalism.
This shot is also a self portrait - enlarge and look closely into the reflection in the girl's sunglasses - that's me taking the image.
By the way, the flecks of dust which might look like I don't clean my gear properly are actually flying debris from a dance and singing festival which was at the extreme end of the jubilation spectrum.
"Where there are too many policemen, there is no liberty. Where there are too many soldiers, there is no peace. Where there are too many lawyers, there is no justice."

Perhaps a little better colours? I was told the last one was a little too purple... not sure if this version is more natural?
Technical details as the last version.
Perhaps the driver had a sweet tooth, no good nowadays of course as Trebor factory has gone the way of all things!
Perhaps this is Aspergillus nidulans? I'm not certain. Originally I thought it was A. fumigatus, a somewhat notorious mold, but marcelasabou gently suggested otherwise. It has lovely blue-green spores that form columns, small brown conidiophores, and grew on wet terra cotta. This is a DIC micrograph of its conidiophores (the structures that make the little blue spores). I somehow didn't notice before that it has biseriate condiophores.
Perhaps the most popular of the transistor radios of the 70´s, which came in six colors, the violet being rather rare. Cabinet spherical shape, which looks like the character in the later PAC MAN video game (particularly yellow), with key-chain to carry it in a casual way. Besides the volume and tuning knobs that look like eyes, it has a circular transparent window to rotating AM band display, perforated speaker grill and earphone jack. The spherical enclosure is divided into two, and when you open it, the chassis of six transistors is exposed together with the connection of the 9-volt battery and their strong metal container. In the yellow one still exist at the top of the dial the sticker that indicates the location of station MUSICA JUVENIL (youth music) 590 ( XEPH 590) of that era. Now it called "Sabrosita 590" and belongs to "Nucleo Radio Mil" broadcasting mainly tropical music.
