This little cutie right here is Ginger (:
My other cousin's dog.
I was at the baby shower of ANOTHER cousin (yeah, I have many :P lol)
and she was sitting next to me, licking my hand.
So I said "Oh yeah? Think you're all cute? Well pose for me." and she did haha.
As you can tell, I loveeee photographing dogs/puppies (:
They just get to me (:
I'm feeling much better today despite my loss from yesterday.
So I thought i'd upload a cute little picture (:
I'm still a little "meh", but it'll be okay.
Thank YOU ALL for your comments. They're part of the reason I'm feeling good (:
Today's been great so far. Worked from 1-3 and I went to Target with my dad.
We had quite a conversation. We haven't talked in a while because things at home have been a little shaky lately. But today, I enjoyed our talk. I was talking to him about how I'm applying at Hollister, but how I was afraid they wouldn't hire me because of my fear on register. He began to explain to me that I must not be afraid. That I can do anything, I must just practice, He then began to relate that to my photographs.
And I was surprised when he said "You take very beautiful pictures. I was looking at them on the Internet the other day, and there was a few pictures in particular that made me think. They made me feel things I haven't felt in a while." I was touched. He rarely compliments my photos, let alone, rarely talks with me about my photography.
He then asked my relationship with my boyfriend, we pretty much catched up. which was great because I missed that.
(:
I'm going to church tonight! I'm really excited! I'll talk about that more on another picture hehe. (:
I don't wanna write too much in one description!:O
love you all.
from Dallas Police Memorial at City Hall Dallas, Texas
" Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men. "
~~ Confucius
Dallas Police Memorial stands next to Dallas City Hall is designed by Ed Baum and John Maruszczak my former Professors at University of Texas at Arlington School of Architecture. They won the competition in 1996.
" A stainless steel construction emerges from the site like a figurative officer's shield and carries the badge numbers and names of police killed in the line of duty. One plane floats as an overhead bar while another follows the incline of the earth. The plane above casts a rectangular shadow across the broad asphalt steps, recalling the mourning bar worn on police badges when an officer is lost. Within this shadow the badge numbers of fallen officers are illuminated, projected by the rays of the sun. The removed stainless numerals, like reversed stencils. are mounted and given to the officers' families." ~ from record architects site
Foundation and expansion
After ascending the throne of Cambodia in 1181 A.D., Jayavarman VII embarked on a massive program of construction and public works. Rajavihara ("royal temple"), today known as Ta Prohm ("ancestor Brahma"), was one of the first temples founded pursuant to that program. The stele commemorating the foundation gives a date of 1186 A.D.
Jayavarman VII constructed Rajavihara in honor of his family. The temple's main image, representing Prajnaparamita, the personification of wisdom, was modelled on the king's mother. The northern and southern satellite temples in the third enclosure were dedicated to the king's guru and his elder brother respectively. As such, Ta Prohm formed a complementary pair with the temple monastery of Preah Khan, dedicated in 1191 A.D., the main image of which represented the Bodhisattva of compassion Lokesvara and was modelled on the king's father.
The temple's stele records that the site was home to more than 12,500 people (including 18 high priests and 615 dancers), with an additional 80,000 souls in the surrounding villages working to provide services and supplies. The stele also notes that the temple amassed considerable riches, including gold, pearls and silks.Expansions and additions to Ta Prohm continued as late as the rule of Srindravarman at the end of the 13th century.

Home of the Adventurous is probably the perfect slogan for this place. When I begin to write something down about this place I honestly don't know where to begin. So I guess I should start by saying that almost everything you will be seeing in these photos is abandoned. This is a former cold war air force base that was basically left to rot by the government after less than 10 years of use. There are a few families that live in the condos still, but I would say 90 or more percent of these homes are empty. The schools are decaying, as is the hospital and all other buildings except those owned by Boeing. Boeing owns the runway and uses it for test purposes. And instead of moving their employees into the empty condos they set up manufactured homes for them.
The weather in Saint Marie is especially brutal, terribly hot dry summers and fierce awful winters. Saint Marie is like an island of condos and abandoned buildings in a great sea of prairie--nothing else is around it for miles and miles. It is true desolation. And when you drive the broken streets and see the condos with those big windows looking at you like empty eyes it is like you are in another world entirely. Then you see the signs set up by Boeing saying not to go any further and that essentially they are watching you--it's like something from a movie. I encourage you to look up other people's photos of Saint Marie and the things you will see will haunt you. Operating tables and beds left up in the hospital. Robes left hanging in the church. Everyone just walked away one day and this is what remains. If you are especially adventurous you can move here--the condos are a steal. A beautiful one fully furnished just sold for 30,000 dollars and there are others for much less than that.
Here are videos I took while exploring Saint Marie:

I had a fun little mini-shoot after work today with my photog friend Jennifer and some friends. This is Jennifer's little sister Shelby. Thursday is Shelby's 17th birthday!! So, we took some fun shots of her in Jackson today. We also took some Urbany Bridals that I am excited to get to editing. After tomorrow I am going to be out of commission a few days, but I will be back with lots of time to catch up on your streams and update you guys on my status. I might be around some tomorrow evening, but just in case I don't get to speak to you or what not, I'll catch you on the flipside. Take care everyone.

A while back I bought an Ansco Pix Panorama camera at a thrift store. It cost me four dollars, and it could be argued that I paid too much for it. It's a pocket-size all-plastic 35mm camera with a 28mm wide-angle plastic lens. On the back it has a note that says "Notify Photofinisher: Develop film and print in panoramic format."
It would be very cool if this camera took panoramic shots by producing really wide negatives, but it doesn't do that; instead, it produces really short negatives. It achieves its panoramic effect by means of a removable insert in that masks the top third and bottom third of each frame, essentially "letterboxing" the negative. So the first thing I did after I discovered the mask insert was remove it. If I want the top third and bottom third of my shot cropped off, I'd rather do that after exposing the frame, thank you very much.
I finally decided to give this camera a try with a roll of Kodak 400TX that had taken a couple of trips through the X-ray scanner airports use on checked baggage. A bit of Googling revealed that the Pix Panoramic has a fixed aperture of f/11 and a fixed shutter speed of 1/125 second, but I didn't give much thought to correct exposure while shooting the roll. I just pointed the camera at stuff and clicked, hoping that luck combined with the magic of stand development would produce a few halfway-decent shots.
And the results were a pleasant surprise. I got more "keeper" shots than I expected, and rest were at least interesting in one way or another. Given its small size and light weight, the Pix may end up being a carry-around-at-all times camera.
Ansco Pix Panorama with "panoramic" mask removed. Kodak 400TX, stand developed in Rodinal 1+100 at 19ºC for 70 minutes.
P.S. The title of this shot has nothing whatsoever to do with the TV show "Mad Men", which I've never seen but have heard good things about.
Português
Gosto de ti calada porque estás como ausente
e me ouves de longe, e esta voz não te toca.
Parece que os teus olhos foram de ti voando
e parece que um beijo fechou a tua boca.
Como todas as coisas estão cheias da minha alma
tu emerges das coisas cheias da alma minha.
Borboleta de sonho, pareces-te com a minha alma
e pareces-te com a palavra melancolia.
Gosto de ti calada e estás como distante
E estás como queixando-te, borboleta em arrulho.
E ouves-me de longe, e esta voz não te alcança:
vais deixar que eu me cale com o silêncio teu.
Vais deixar que eu te fale também com o teu silêncio
claro como uma lâmpada, simples como um anel.
Tu és igual à noite, calada e constelada.
O teu silêncio é de estrela, tão longínquo e tão simples.
Gosto de ti calada porque estás como ausente.
Distante e dolorosa como se houvesses morrido.
Uma palavra então, um teu sorriso bastam.
E eu estou alegre, alegre porque não é verdade.
Español
Me gustas cuando callas porque estás como ausente,
y me oyes desde lejos, y mi voz no te toca.
Parece que los ojos se te hubieran volado
y parece que un beso te cerrara la boca.
Como todas las cosas están llenas de mi alma
emerges de las cosas, llena del alma mía.
Mariposa de sueño, te pareces a mi alma,
y te pareces a la palabra melancolía.
Me gustas cuando callas y estás como distante.
Y estás como quejándote, mariposa en arrullo.
Y me oyes desde lejos, y mi voz no te alcanza:
déjame que me calle con el silencio tuyo.
Déjame que te hable también con tu silencio
claro como una lámpara, simple como un anillo.
Eres como la noche, callada y constelada.
Tu silencio es de estrella, tan lejano y sencillo.
Me gustas cuando callas porque estás como ausente.
Distante y dolorosa como si hubieras muerto.
Una palabra entonces, una sonrisa bastan.
Y estoy alegre, alegre de que no sea cierto.

J'aime quand tu te tais, parce que tu es comme absente,
et tu m'entends au loin, et ma voix ne t'atteint pas.
On dirait que tes yeux se sont envolés,
et on dirait qu'un baiser t'a clos la bouche
Comme toutes les choses sont remplies de mon âme,
tu émerges des choses pleine de mon âme.
Papillon de rêve, tu ressembles à mon âme
et tu ressembles au mot : mélancolie.
J'aime quand tu te tais et que tu es comme distante.
Et tu es comme plaintive, papillon que l'on berce.
Et tu m'entends au loin, et ma voix ne t'atteint pas:
laisse-moi me taire avec ton silence.
Laisse-moi aussi te parler avec ton silence,
clair comme une lampe, simple comme un anneau.
Tu es comme la nuit, silencieuse et constellée.
Ton silence est d'étoile, si lointain et si simple.
J'aime quand tu te tais, parce que tu es comme absente,
distante et dolente, comme si tu étais morte.
Un mot alors, un sourire suffisent,
et je suis heureux, heureux que ce ne soit pas vrai.
English
I like For You to be Still
I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent,
and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you.
It seems as though your eyes had flown away
and it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth.
As all things are filled with my soul
you emerge from the things, filled with my soul.
You are like my soul, a butterfly of dream,
and you are like the word Melancholy.
I like for you to be still, and you seem far away.
It sounds as though you were lamenting, a butterfly cooing like a dove.
And you hear me from far away, and my voice does not reach you:
Let me come to be still in your silence.
And let me talk to you with your silence
that is bright as a lamp, simple as a ring.
You are like the night, with its stillness and constellations.
Your silence is that of a star, as remote and candid.
I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent,
distant and full of sorrow as though you had died.
One word then, one smile, is enough.
And I am happy, happy that it's not true
Eremobatidae

Well, I planned on a shot at Hole in the Wall beach based on the moon phase, but conditions skewered that plan.
Walking into the beach I passed a bearded guy who I thought might be Patterson. From his icon photo I expected a tall lanky guy with a camera and a bandana. This guy only had the beard so I thought it probably wasn't him. As it turned out, he spent the evening at the pet rocks so I think it was him.
The tide was so high and the waves were just pummeling the rocks I wanted to climb so I decided to just shoot the waves washing up on the beach. I'd never seen them so far up the beach. Even though conditions were pretty good for photography, I left figuring I had nothing in the camera worth anything. This was the best of the lot, I think. The color was uninspiring so I converted to black and white.
Did some driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway last weekend....
I wouldnt recommend doing this to anyone - even though traffic was very light, I had a bit of a scare inside the tunnel with a car.....guess they werent expecting some idiot with a tripod to be in there!

Inclued graph for TGIFramework (Tagged) displaying a hello world template after the second load (the first load fills APC user cache).
Note that inclued looks a little funnier than normal because
1) Inclued has trouble fitting prepend scripts into hierarchy. For some reason it thinks the page page is config.php which is completely bypassed on the second load (the actual page is hello.php).
2) Inclued loses the actual parent when dynamically included stuff is __autoloaded()
3) This isn't exactly Tagged.
Diferences I’ve noticed
1) Tagged doesn't use an auto prepend script (it requires manual prepending),
2) Tagged includes the session_start code on every page that this doesn't
3) Tagged includes diagnostics that this doesn't (yet)
4) Tagged includes UDP based page and event logging that this doesn't
5) An event gets thrown on page creation that will trigger the output caching listeners (not yet ported).
All are mostly related to backward compatibility or portability issues.
Still even with the session_start making a remote call to memcache on every request, I still noticed that siegeing Tagged's hello world outperforms CodeIgniter (one of the faster frameworks out there). Why?
1) The load-on-demand design is optimized for this task (the less it does, the less framework is needed)
2) Tagged is designed around portability but not independence, certain optimizations and features are assumed to exist and the codebase takes advantage of them
3) Tagged engineers all know PHP, so a larger templating abstraction is unnecessary (we're using Savant3, probably don't even need that).
4) Performance is a primary consideration for Tagged since the site activity is so busy (the API layer alone needs to handle 5000 transactions a second). This minimal abstraction is most performant for minimal code via iteration.
5) Output caching is unnecessary for dynamically generated static content. In that event, things are created into the web hierarchy and headers are sent to allow edge caching of this content. (This is not tested with that assumption, but the point is a lot of extra code doesn't need to get written in a lot of places because operational design solve that.)
6) To call this a framework is generous. :-)
In any case, compare with other frameworks (note not all these are graphs of hello world, some seem to be graphs of the default page or a typical installation…weird). The default graph for comparison.
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past
I found you here, now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I'd do anything for a smile, holding you 'til our time is done
We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real
So, what if I never hold you, yeah, or kiss your lips again?
Woooaaah, so I never want to leave you and the memories of us to see
I beg don't leave me
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real
Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day [x2 then continues in the background]
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home
Seize the Day by Avenged Sevenfold
♫♪Sta Limania♫♪, de Natasa Theodoridou, de la BSO de la película "Un toque de canela".
Rescato estas fotos porque ya no sé cuando volveré a tener tiempo para probar a hacerlas de nuevo y como lo que reflejan me gusta tanto, prefiero pasar por encima de calidades técnicas y perfeccionismos varios.
El lugar resulta curioso: es el casino del pueblo en el que vivo desde que nací. No es un casino de los de mesas de tapete verde y señores adinerados, no. Es una asociación cultural, por llamarlo de alguna forma. No sé los años que tendrá, pero seguro que pasa de un siglo, por la zona en la que se encuentra y por la construcción en sí. Es un amplio local -puede que, de lejos, el bar más grande de la población- en el que sólo se reúnen hombres a jugar la partida de cartas o la de dominó. Las únicas mujeres que se ven son las dos trabajadoras que gestionan la cafetería, integrada en el enorme salón en el que hay una mesa de billar, un rincón dedicado a la lectura de la prensa y el resto, a mesas para juegos varios.
El acceso a los que no están asociados es libre, pero, por ejemplo, los periódicos están reservados y los partidos de fútbol retransmitidos por la televisión, también.
Da a dos calles y tiene enormes ventanales. La única planta de la construcción se levanta un poco del nivel de la calle por lo que los habituales del casino están en un escaparate permanente. De ahí que a mí la situación del rincón de lectura me resulte tan atrayente: la misma gente, día tras día, leyendo el periódico a diferentes horas. Casi todos mayores; los más, bastante mayores. Una rutina que forma parte de mi vida, sobre todo, desde que tengo a Zas y he de salir a diario a pasearlo.
El local es la sede del Círculo Instructivo Musical, esto es, la Banda de Música municipal y desde el salón principal se puede acceder a un frontón de pilota valenciana, en el que se celebra, de cuando en cuando, alguna competición. Hace muchos años -y ahora también, pero mucho menos- era un lugar reservado sólo para hombres, en los que se apostaba de manera habitual. La imagen más representativa de esta "forma de ser" que se extinguirá por el paso del tiempo, cuando desaparezca esta generación de mayores, es la del señor repeinado, con bigote y puro en la mano, endomingado, con presencia de hombre satisfecho.
La dificultad que entrañaban las fotos era hacerlas sin que ellos me vieran, por lo que tuve que utilizar el zoom desde la acera de enfrente y aprovechar, en dos de ellas, la caida de la noche, porque salvo la primera que pude hacerla desde enfrente de la fachada, a unos diez metros de distancia y con la luz a favor, los reflejos de los cristales, en las otras tomas, se comían la escena. De ahí que tengan ruido y no estén bien enfocadas... esconderse detrás de un coche no es una buena manera de atinar a la hora de hacer una fotografía.

Et oui ma pensée du jour :
L'amour est comme une balance, à chacun d'apporter chaque jour ce petit quelque chose qui fera que cette balance restera équilibrée et tiendra le choc, face aux épreuves, face aux doutes...face aux peurs, aux interrogations...face à la routine qui s'installe...face aux chemins qui se séparent et puis se croisent , se font et se défont...
A chacun de regarder devant, et à côté de lui, de voir ce qu'il a, de voir son acqui, de regarder aussi ailleur mais de ne pas oublier ce qu'il a et et ne pas regarder ce qu'il n'a pas...j'avais oublié cette phrase qui pourtant fait parti de ma vie et de mes valeurs...le chemin a été long mais je l'ai retrouvé...j'ai retrouvé mon équilibre...
Penser à soi oui, mais ne pas oublier l'autre...apporter chaque jour sa petite pierre pour construire cet équilibre...
Trouver le juste équilibre pour soi d'abord et pour l'autre ensuite...et si un jour la balance se détraque, se dire qu'elle se reconstruira avec la meme personne ou une autre...mais...l'équilibre parfait n'existe pas...(enfin c'est mon avis hein :-))
Cette pensée du jour est pour tous ceux que j'aime qu'elle vous apporte ce qu'elle doit vous apporter...merci à vous de faire parti de ma balance...et de mon équilibre...

And yes my day thought:
The love is as a balance, in each to bring every day this young something which will make that this balance will remain well-balanced and will hold the shock, in front of tests(events), in front of doubts in front of fears, of the questioning in front of the routine which settles down in front of roads which part and then cross themselves, are made and come undone(crumple)...
In each to look in front of, and next to him, to see what he(it) has, to see his(its) acqui, watch also anywhere but not to forget what he(it) has and and not to look at what he(it) does not have I had forgotten this sentence which nevertheless makes left my life and my values the road was long but I found him(it) I found my balance...
Think of one yes, but not forget the other one, bring every day its small stone to build this balance...
Find the just balance for one at first and for the other one then and if one day the balance breaks down, to say to himself that it will reconstruct with the same nobody or the other one but the perfect balance does not exist (finally it is my opinion(notice) eh:-))
This day thought is for all those that I love that it brings you that she has to bring you thanks to you to make party of my balance and my balance...
The original untextured version can be found in the same set. I was unhappy with the over-saturated water and green in the original background but my attempts to correct that left my lovely niece Daisy dull and lifeless, which, I asure you, would be a false characterization.
Solution (short of better colour-correction skills to begin with): texturing an overly vivid background diminished it's impact, added subtle interest, and most important, ensured focal attention where intended. At least that's what I think I accomplished. Comments, criticisms, and tips for improvement are most welcome.
The texture used (and altered) is courtesy of ground*floor www.flickr.com/photos/chromaticaberrations/ who registered his texture sets with creative commons.
Friend and photographer Brian Gudas briangudasphotography.com/personal/ introduced me to this technique and graciously helped me nail down the procedures for myself.

Der Blaue Pfau (Pavo cristatus) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Fasanenartigen (Phasianidae). Er gehört somit zur Ordnung der Hühnervögel, wobei der Blaue Pfau neben dem Fasan und dem Haushuhn der bekannteste Vertreter dieser Vogelgruppe ist.
Aufgrund ihres auffälligen Aussehens gelten vor allem die Männchen als die ältesten Ziervögel der Menschen. Bereits in den Sagen der griechischen Antike wurden sie erwähnt. Als standorttreue Vögel werden die ursprünglich in Indien und Sri Lanka beheimateten Tiere heute weltweit auch als Haustiere gehalten.
The Indian Peafowl, Pavo cristatus, also known as the Common Peafowl or the Blue Peafowl, is one of the species of bird in the genus Pavo of the Phasianidae family known as peafowl. The Indian Peafowl is a resident breeder in the Indian subcontinent and has been introduced into many parts of the world and feral populations exist in many introduced regions. The peacock is the national bird of India and is the largest Asian galliform.

In Deutschland sind zurzeit (Stand Januar 2006) 9 Lizenzen zum digitalen zellulären Mobilfunk vergeben, davon je vier für die GSM- und UMTS- Netze der in Deutschland aktiven Mobilfunknetzbetreiber und eine UMTS- Lizenz von Quam. Die zehnte Lizenz der mobilcom AG wurde Ende 2003 an die Bundesnetzagentur zurückgegeben.
Strahlung ?
========
Die Struktur der gepulsten technischen Mobilfunkfrequenzen - vor allem die der geplanten UMTS-Frequenzen - nähert sich immer mehr biologisch wirksamen Frequenzmustern an, so daß "nichtthermische" Effekte, d.h. Resonanzwirkungen am biologischen "Substrat" ohne meßbare Energieübertragung immer wahrscheinlicher werden, wenn sie nicht schon Realität geworden sind. E-Felder, wie z.B. die natürliche elektromagnetische Impulsstrahlung der Atmosphäre (VLF/ELF-Bereich, "Wetterstrahlung") sind zwar Teil des naturgegeben Umweltinventars des Menschen, wie auch die natürliche Radioaktivität, die Evolution hatte im Laufe von 2 Milliarden Jahren aber Gelegenheit, sich ihnen soweit anzupassen, daß, wie im Falle der Wetterfühligkeit, von ihnen allein keine gesundheitlichen Dauerschäden verursacht werden können. Dies zeigt sich z.B. darin, daß die nur bei bestimmten Wetterlagen kurzfristig auftretenden resonanzfähigen Sfericsimpulse nur reversible und keine dauerhaften Veränderungen z.B. in der Raumstruktur von Kollageneiweiß (Gelatine) bewirken.
Der geplanten flächendeckenden und ununterbrochen wirksamen Strahlungsbelastung durch die gepulsten technischen E-Felder des Mobilfunks der neuen Art und bislang noch kaum bekannten biologischen Wirkungspotentials kann hingegen kein Bürger entgehen, auch wenn er sein Händi entsorgt oder sich abseits in den tiefen Wald verzieht. Es ist sogar zu befürchten, daß es durch die Überlagerung der biologisch wirksamen natürlichen und technischen Felder zu Synergismen kommen kann mit der Folge gesundheitlicher Schädigungen neuer Art
Moonville was a small mining and railway town that cropped up during the 1800's iron boom and eventually disappeared just a little over 150 years ago.
Like many of Vinton and Hocking County iron boom towns that waned to nothing more than grassy fields over the last century, little is left to show humans ever dwelled here at all. Moonville is no exception- aside from an old well, a few shards of old teacups found in Raccoon Creek once in a while and three well-hidden foundations, nothing more remains.
It has long been said that the tunnel is haunted by a railway brakeman, but few ever hear of the Lavender Lady of Moonville Tunnel. However, many have crossed through the tunnel to the other side, taken the short trail off the old gravel path and caught the scent of stale lavender. Where does this smell come from even in the middle of winter when the snow is nearly knee deep?
Local Stories pertaining to Lavender Lady:
It is said that a woman from Mineral was crossing the train trestle, she was struck and killed by a train. Rumor has it that her ghost still walks the area where her broken body had plunged after being hit from the train-directly where the scent of lavender still lingers in the air.
watching the Celtics kick the Magic's butt in game six and advance to the NBA finals (#wewantLA, #beatLA, #banner18) was more fun w/ twitter running. I make a joke with one of the funniest guys on twitter, @BrilliantOrange, about Bill Russell being more deserving of a statue in front of Boston Garden than Bobby Orr (see here) . . . and legal and political commentator Karen Russell, Bill Russell's daughter, picks it up and RTs (retweets) it, starting a conversation. See above tweetdeck screenshot.
in case you missed the joke, here's the flying bronze Orr statue.

The Daniel Carter Beard Bridge, better known as the 'Big Mac' Bridge due to its golden yellow arches, connects Interstate 71 in downtown Cincinnati to Kentucky. The bridge is named after the founder of the Boy Scouts, who was born and raised nearby. However, many locals, including traffic reporters, ignore the bridge's official name and instead call it "The Big Mac Bridge".
Right-of-way acquisition for the bridge began in January 1968, and construction began on the Ohio River crossing in November 1971. The still-unnamed bridge opened to limited traffic in September 1976. The name of the new bridge was announced on October 5, 1976, the choice being to name the bridge after Daniel Carter Beard, in honor of the founder of the Boy Scouts of America. The Scouts had lobbied hard for the bridge to carry Beard's name, with some paddling down the Ohio and Kentucky rivers to carry petitions to the governor in Frankfort. The Ohio River span and a short section of highway were dedicated on February 14, 1977, with Kentucky Governor John Y. Brown leading the dedication ceremonies.
The bridge is the easternmost of the city's downtown bridge group.
The Citadel is sometimes referred to as Mohamed Ali Citadel (Arabic: قلعة محمد علي Qalaʿat Muḥammad ʿAlī), because it contains the Mosque of Mohamed Ali (or Muhammad Ali Pasha), which was built between 1828 and 1848, perched on the summit of the citadel. [4] This Ottoman mosque was built in memory of Tusun Pasha, Muhammad Ali's oldest son, who died in 1816. However, it also represents Muhammad Ali's efforts to erase symbols of the Mamluk dynasty that he replaced. When Ottoman ruler Muhammad Ali Pasha took control from the Mamluks in 1805 he altered many of the additions to the Citadel that reflected Cairo's previous leaders. One obvious change that Muhammad Ali enacted pertained to the uses of the Citadel's northern and southern enclosures. During the Mamluk period the southern enclosure was the residential area, but Muhammad Ali claimed the northern enclosure as the royal residence when he took power. He then opened the southern enclosure to the public and effectively established his position as the new leader. [5].
Today we went back to the vet with Baloe.
She is getting worse and if we don't help her, she will choke and die very slowly.
Next wednesday we have an appointment, the vet will come to our house and give Baloe euthanasia.
It is one of the saddest decisions I had to make in my life.
Baloe is with me for 14 and a half years now, the children don't even know how life is without her, they were born later.
My life have been pretty hectic the last 15 years and a lot has happened, but Baloe was always there.
Now I have to say goodbye to her, she has had a good and healthy life, but saying goodbye doesn't hurt any less because of that.

While taking this photo a girl next to me was also taking some shots at the same location, to my envy she was using a silver Nikon FM2n analog SLR camera. To my surprise, when she put down her camera and I saw her, it was Mandy, a good friend from flickr whom I've never met in person before, what a pleasant surprise it was. Just like Liyin DIP put it 'What a small world!'
In order to symbolize Mandy in the vast greens of Cameron Highlands tropical rainforest, I've uploaded this "flower wrapped around by the green leaves".

Walking around the beach after sunset, between the crumbling cliffs, hemmed in by the tide I was looking for one last photo before I headed back up the wooded valley away from the coast. I noticed these three pebbles grouped together at the edge of the limestone pavement with the fresh water stream that runs down through the valley and across the beach to the sea flowing over them. The late evening soft pink glow of the sky made the rock below seem to glow itself and the round stones and blurred water seemed to me the perfect compliment to the soft light.
I would have liked to have spotted this scene earlier while the sun was still above the horizon and it's light was caught in the water making every drop sparkle. Although I'm not certain that this lighting would have suited the scene so well it would have been nice to compare and contrast the two lighting conditions. Maybe next time, although these pebbles will surely be long gone by then.

We varen naar enkele eilanden met schitterende koraalriffen waar we heerlijk kunnen snorkelen ....
Pandan-island, Starfish-Island, Snake-Island ...
We verleiden de visjes met een beetje brood in de handen. Na enige tijd wemelt het rond je armen en benen van een wolk kleurijke visjes die kriebelen in je vingers of die vechten en elkanders stukje brood afpakken .... je vergeet er alles bij .... ook als de boot terug wilt vertrekken en je reisgenoten luid je naam roepen ... r i t a .... r i t a .... je hoort je naam, maar je reageert er niet op, je bent echt in vervoering door zoveel moois!
... een onvergetelijk moment tijdens de reis!

I had a series of about 8 shots of this Itsukushima Shrine scene and all I had to do was layer the 0 EV exposure onto the +2 EV exposure and paint the bright areas through on the left side of the photograph and I would have had a quick shot that was natural and pleasing to my senses… No, I had to go and create an HDR version on top of the two other exposures, create a couple of other layers for different colors, LucisArt, and a few filters so I could selectively add them to each area. I seriously spent 2 hours trying to figure out were I was going with this and completely hated it, I was about to just trash it when I found the perfect Nik filter that suddenly created a look that I was happy with.

Depuis le 3 Octobre, plus de 200 familles dorment dans la rue de la Banque pour protester contre l'absence de logements décents. Français ou immigrés en situation régulière, tous travaillent mais vivent dans des conditions déplorables: le plus souvent à l'hôtel, ou dans des appartements minuscules, parfois menacés d'expulsion.
Malgré la pluie, les mal logés ont l'interdiction d'installer des tentes sur les trottoirs (elles ont de toute façon été confisquées lors des précédentes évacuations par les forces de l'ordre). Les cartons et les bâches sont plus ou moins tolérés, selon les jours, notamment sur le trottoir du Ministère de la Crise du Logement (mais pas en face !), mais peuvent très bien résulter en une intervention policière.
Après les pluies particulièrement violentes des derniers jours début Novembre, accompagnées de forts coups de vent, des bâches ont été accrochées à la façade pour créer une sorte d'auvent, un abri de fortune qui a déjà été démonté samedi 10 novembre par les forces de l'ordre et remonté dimanche par les militants. Depuis le départ des policiers le 13, des bâches sont installées des 2 côtés de la rue de la Banque (contre le Ministère de la Crise du Logement et contre l'AFP en face).

This obelisk marks the spot where the body of Tommy Jones aged 5 was found. He lost his way between Cwm Llwch farm and the Login on the night of August 4, 1900. After an anxious search of 29 days his remains were discovered Sept. Erected by voluntary subscriptions. W Powell Price Mayor of Brecon 1901
The night herons are medium-sized herons in the genera Nycticorax, Nyctanassa and Gorsachius. The genus name Nycticorax derives from the Greek for “night raven” and refers to the largely nocturnal feeding habits of this group of birds, and the croaking crow-like call of the best known species, the Black-crowned Night Heron.
Adults are short-necked, short-legged and stout herons with a primarily brown or grey plumage, and, in most, a black crown. Young birds are brown, flecked with white. At least some of the extinct Mascarenes taxa appear to have retained this juvenile plumage in adult birds.
Night herons nest alone or in colonies on platforms of sticks in a group of trees, or on the ground in protected locations such as islands or reedbeds. 3-8 eggs are laid.
Night herons stand still at the water's edge, and wait to ambush prey, mainly at night. They primarily eat small fish, crustaceans, frogs, aquatic insects, and small mammals. During the day they rest in trees or bushes. There are seven extant species.
I photographed this beautiful bird at the Santa Barbara Zoo. I should add that it is not a part of the zoo collection but rather a local shore bird that likes to hang out at the round picnic tables near the zoo entrance along with several large ravens. I assume this is because there are some humans that feed them or they are scavenging what's been left as garbage. It is not a good idea to feed these beautiful birds as they become dependent and lazy. Neither of these species appear to be afraid of humans. This bird was sitting no more than five feet away from me as I took numerous photographs and the bird never flinched or moved. See the images below for more of this beautiful bird (including a strip collage of the head in profile). A companion Night Heron did fly into one of the open exhibition areas.
