Persistence and the good fortune to be able to travel widely in the UK and abroad will ensure that I remain a major contributor to CRWDP and similar sites. Today, I am posting five pictures from the Brighton area.

This moth kept returning to under our house, demanding to have its portrait taken. So I did.

A search revealed it to be a zodiac moth (Alcides metaurus) a diurnal feeder, also called the North Queensland day moth.

You obviously have to look a bit snazzier if you're going out in the daytime!

Persistence came to life with help from Dan Cormier & Janice Abarbanel ebooks. Thank you!

We had Thanksgiving dinner at Jeremy and Erin's house in Portland, Oregon. Little Miss Evie is quite the stair climber now.

Designed for beginners and intermediate developers, this book teaches JPA from the ground up with an aim to get the reader up to speed with JPA as quickly as possible. It delves deeply into the core of the JPA, providing a sound understanding of the components that make up the framework and the way they interact with each other.

 

This book uses the learning by doing pattern with a lot of ready-to-use examples. This pattern has proven to be the best approach for learning a new technology. Most [if not all] of the concepts that you will find in this book are demonstrated using well described and easy to understand examples, yet sophisticated enough to demonstrate JPA in a real-world context.

  

This book demonstrates a step-by-step guide to developing Web as well as Enterprise applications [using EJB 3 ] which re-enforces all the learning that takes place throughout the book. It also teaches how to integrate an enterprise application with Struts2. Not only this, the book also introduces EJB 3.1 [a part of Java EE 6] and demonstrates developing a IPA based EIB 3.1 application with the help of Glassfish v3 Prelude.

The painting is a reinterpretation of the work "The Persistence of Memory" by Salvador Dalí, painted by Mário Silva.

 

Dalí's original painting was completed in 1931 and is considered one of the most famous paintings in the world.

 

It is often interpreted as a metaphor for the human condition.

 

Silva's reinterpretation presents some differences in relation to Dalí's original work.

 

In the original painting, the man is falling into a hole in the ground, while in Mário's reinterpretation, he is standing in a field.

 

The man is also dressed differently in the two paintings.

 

In the original painting, he is wearing a white shirt, while in Mário Silva's reinterpretation, he is wearing a brown shirt.

 

Despite these differences, the two paintings share many elements in common.

 

Both paintings feature a melted clock, which is one of Dalí's most famous symbols.

 

Both paintings also feature a barren desert in the background.

 

The painting "The Persistence of Memory" is often interpreted as a metaphor for time and memory.

 

The melting clock symbolizes the passage of time, while the arid desert symbolizes the vastness of memory.

 

The figure of the man falling can be interpreted as a representation of the fragility of human life.

 

Mário's reinterpretation of Dalí's painting can be interpreted in several ways.

 

One possible interpretation is that Silva is exploring the idea that time and memory are subjective concepts.

 

The fact that the man is standing in a field instead of falling into a hole may suggest that Silva believes that time is not linear, but rather fluid.

 

The fact that the man is dressed in a brown shirt instead of a white shirt may suggest that Mário Silva believes memory is unreliable.

 

Another possible interpretation is that Mário is exploring the idea that time and memory are not important.

 

The fact that the melted clock is in the foreground of the painting may suggest that Silva believes that time is not something we should worry about.

 

How much of the arid desert is the only other element in the painting may suggest that Mário Silva believes that memory is not important because everything will be forgotten in the end.

Ultimately, the interpretation of the painting "The Persistence of Memory" is subjective and it is up to the viewer to decide what it means to them.

THE PERSISTENCE OF NATURE IN OUR LIVES

 

Andrew Hudgins

 

You find them in the darker woods

occasionally -- those swollen lumps

of fungus, twisted, moist, and yellow --

but when they show up on the lawn

it's like they tracked me home. In spring

the persistence of nature in our lives

rises from below, drifts from above.

The pollen settles on my skin

and waits for me to bloom, trying

to work green magic on my flesh.

They're indiscriminate, these firs.

They'll mate with anything. A great

green-yellow cloud of pollen sifts

across the house. The waste of it

leaves nothing out -- not even men.

The pollen doesn't care I'm not

a tree. The golden storm descends.

Wind lifts it from the branches, lofts

it in descending arches of need

and search, a grainy yellow haze

that settle over everything

as if it's all the same. I love

the utter waste of pollen, a scum

of it on every pond and puddle.

It rides the ripples and, when they dry,

remains, a line of yellow dust

zigzagging in the shape of waves.

 

One night, perhaps a little drunk,

I stretched out on the porch, watching

the Milky Way. At dawn I woke

to find a man-shape on the hard

wood floor, outlined in pollen -- a sharp

spread-eagle figure drawn there like

the body at a murder scene.

Except for that spot, the whole damn house

glittered green-gold. I wandered out

across the lawn, my bare feet damp

with dew, the wet ground soft, forgiving,

beneath my step. I understood

I am, as much as anyone,

the golden beast who staggers home,

in June, beneath the yearning trees.

stone clay, soft pastels, alpaca fiber, wood

frank on market street a while back.

 

thanks noremmie for stepping on some toes to change the group name. i hope frank really spells it as "chu"! :-)

Larger upload of my efforts. Probably one of the best pictures I took that holiday... but evidently, developing and processing in the darkroom plays a huge role in completing a photo...

The Endurance class amphibious transport docks are the biggest class of ships in the RSN. They were designed and built locally by ST Marine to replace the old County class tank landing ships (LST). Each ship is fitted with a well dock that can accommodate four landing craft and a flight deck that can accommodate two medium lift helicopters. While the RSN describes the Endurance class as LSTs, they lack the beaching capability traditionally associated with LSTs, and their well docks and flight decks qualify the Endurance class more as amphibious transport docks.

A fallen strangler fig re-established in to a healthy tree

It's been about 5 years since I've been to this spot.

 

This tree for whatever reason has been here for who knows how long, weathered by storm but strengthened over time. Our first acquaintance was with my Olympus C-5060 point and shoot, and tonight I felt I raced against time and an eluding sunset just to snap this.

 

This is sad, I need to come up with better stories...

This nonagonal tato was installed in September 2009. Color has vanished and it is slightly unfolded, still in good condition after a whole year outdoors.

Meanwhile, the recycling point has been relocated on the other side of the esplanade.
