Mollie and I went to Grandma's house today, much to Muggs' happiness. I took a slew of awesome, outside, sun-filled action shots...but this one, which is in no way a technical marvel - and could have used some serious editing which I have no time for - was my favourite. She sat and the top of the stairs and Muggs, who shadows her, laid down right where he is. Puppy love.

Blue Jay
A familiar sight at bird feeders, the boldly patterned Blue Jay is unmistakable. It is abundant in the East and is extending into the West, using food and shelter provided by humans.
Cool Facts
* Although the migration of Blue Jays is an obvious phenomenon, with thousands moving past some points along the coast, much about it remains a mystery. Some jays are present throughout the winter in all parts of the range. Which jays move and which stay put? Although young jays may be more likely to migrate than adults, many adults do migrate. Some individual jays may migrate south in one year, stay north the next winter, and then migrate south again the next year. Why do they migrate when they do?
* Many people dislike the Blue Jay because it is known to eat the eggs and nestlings of other birds. However, in an extensive study of Blue Jay feeding habits, only 1% of jays had evidence of eggs or birds in their stomachs. Most of the diet was composed of insects and nuts.
* The Blue Jay frequently mimics the calls of hawks, especially the Red-shouldered Hawk. It has been suggested that these calls provide information to other jays that a hawk is around, or that they are used to deceive other species into believing a hawk is present.
* Tool use in birds is rare. Although no tool use has been reported for wild Blue Jays, captive jays used strips of newspaper to rake in food pellets from outside of their cages.
Description
* Size: 25-30 cm (10-12 in)
* Wingspan: 34-43 cm (13-17 in)
* Weight: 70-100 g (2.47-3.53 ounces)
* Large songbird.
* Crest on head.
* Upperparts various shades of blue.
* Wings and tail marked with black bars and white tips.
* Underparts and face grayish white.
* Black collar across upper chest, extending up sides of neck to rear of face and connecting to black eyeline.
* Tail fairly long and graduated.
Sex Differences
Sexes alike.
Immature
Juvenile similar to adults except blue areas are grayer and the black is slightly browner.
Similar Species
* Steller's Jay is similar in size and shape (including crest), but has a black head and chest and dark underparts.
* Western Scrub-Jay is called Blue Jay in some areas, but it does not have a crest or the black-and-white barring in the wings and tail.
Sound
Very vocal; make a large variety of calls. Most frequent call is a harsh "jeer." Also clear whistled notes and gurgling sounds.
Blue Jay
Summer Range
Resident from southern Canada through eastern United States to Gulf Coast, westward to central Texas. Small, local, expanding populations westward to Washington.
Winter Range
Partially migratory: some birds migrate out of northern portion of range, but some jays remain in all parts of range.
Habitat
* Found in deciduous, coniferous, and mixed forests and woodlands.
* Found more along forest edges than in deep forest.
* Common in urban and suburban areas, especially where large oaks are present.
Food
Arthropods, acorns and nuts, fruits, seeds, small vertebrates.
Behavior
Foraging
Gleans insects from trees, shrubs, and ground. Harvests and hides (caches) thousands of acorns and other nuts. Holds food under feet to peck at it.
Reproduction
Nest Type
Nest an open cup of twigs, grass, and sometimes mud, lined with rootlets. Typically located in crotch or outer branches of decidious or coniferous trees, 5-50 feet above ground, most commonly 10-25 feet.
Egg Description
Color: Bluish or light brown with brownish spots concentrated near large end.
Egg size: 25.2-32.8 mm x 18.8-22.4 mm.
(1.0-1.3 in x 0.7-0.9 in)
Incubation period: 17-18 days.
Clutch Size
2-7 eggs.
Condition at Hatching
Naked and helpless.
Chicks fledge in 17-21 days.
Conservation Status
Breeding Bird Survey data show a slight but significant decline in Blue Jay numbers across the United States, with most of the decline in the East. Some have implicated it in the decline of some Neotropical migrant species because it is a nest predator and prefers forest edges, but little direct evidence has been found.
Other Names
Geai bleu (French)

El lleó (Panthera leo) és un mamífer de la família dels felins. El lleó mascle és conegut per la seva crinera (melena) i pot arribar a pesar més de 250 kg. Les femelles son molt més petites i pesen devers 180 kg. Els lleons son carnívors i viuen en grups familiars que consisteixen en femelles emparentades, les seves cries dels dos sexes i un mascle sense llaços sanguinis que s'aparella amb les femelles adultes.
Les femelles s'ocupen de caçar mentre que els mascles es dediquen principalment a protegir els límits del seu territori. Els mascles són expulsats del grup en arribar a la maduresa.
Els lleons son polígams i la femella cria cada 18 o 26 mesos en estat natural; en captivitat, els lleons es reprodueixen una vegada a l'any. Després d'una gestació de 110 dies, la femella té entre un i quatre lleonets, que neixen amb un pèl espès i clapat. En captivitat, un lleó pot viure fins als 30 anys d'edat, però en llibertat la mitjana són 12 anys pels mascles i 16 per les femelles.
The lion (Panthera leo) is a member of the family Felidae and one of four big cats in the genus Panthera. With exceptionally large males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight,[2] it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with a critically endangered remnant population in northwest India, having disappeared from North Africa, the Middle East, and western Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene (about 10,000 years ago), the lion was the most widespread large land mammal beside humans. They were found in most of Africa, much of Eurasia from western Europe to India, and the Bering land bridge and, in the Americas, from the Yukon to Peru.
Lions live for approximately 10–14 years in the wild, while in captivity they can live over 20 years. They typically inhabit savanna and grassland, although they may take to bush and forest. Lions are unusually social compared to other cats. A pride of lions consists of related females and offspring and a small number of adult males. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The lion is an apex and keystone predator, although they will resort to scavenging if the opportunity arises. While lions, in general, do not selectively hunt humans, some have been known to become man-eaters and seek human prey.
The lion is a vulnerable species, having seen a possibly irreversible population decline of 30 to 50% over the past two decades in its African range;[1] populations are untenable outside designated reserves and national parks. Although the cause of the decline is not well-understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are currently the greatest causes of concern. Lions have been kept in menageries since Roman times and have been a key species sought after and exhibited in zoos the world over since the late eighteenth century. Zoos are cooperating worldwide in breeding programs for the endangered Asiatic subspecies.
Visually, the male is highly distinctive and is easily recognized by its mane. The head of the male lion is one of the most widely recognized animal symbols in human culture. It has been depicted extensively in literature, in sculptures, in paintings, on national flags, and in contemporary films and literature.

Poco a poco nos vamos enteramos de nuevos desarrollos enfocados en la búsqueda de nuevos combustibles, esto con la idea de reducir costes y por supuesto la contaminación, y así afectar lo menos posible el medio ambiente.
La empresa de aeronáutica Boeing desde hace varios años está en la búsqueda del biocombustible idóneo que impulse sus aviones, y el día de hoy en asociación con South African Airways y la empresa holandesa SkyNRG, anuncian su nuevo proyecto con el que producirán biocarburante a partir de tabaco modificado.
El nuevo biocombustible
Éste nuevo biocarburante es producido gracias al aceite de las semillas de una planta ubicada en Sudáfrica llamada Solaris, la cual es hecha de tabaco modificado o híbrido y libre de nicotina.
El proyecto se encuentra en fase de pruebas, pero se espera que el desarrollo crezca de manera considerable en los próximos años, debido a que el tabaco es uno de los negocios más importantes en Sudáfrica, además de que no está enfocado en el consumo humano al no poseer nicotina.
Ian Cruickshank, especialista en medio ambiente de South African Airways menciona:
“Con el tabaco híbrido, podemos aprovechar el conocimiento de los productores de tabaco en Sudáfrica para aumentar el cultivo de un agrocarburante comercializable sin incentivar a la gente a fumar”
Por supuesto el biocombustible para aviones no es algo nuevo, pero con este nuevo proyecto se busca dar nuevas opciones hasta encontrar un producto duradero, económico y que no contamine. Ya que al día de hoy muchas son las empresas que han apostado por el biocombustible en vuelos comerciales, llegando a poco más de 1500 vuelos desde que su uso fue aprobado en 2011.
Según Boeing el uso de biocombustible reduce las emisiones de carbono entre un 50% y 80% comparado con el combustible actual, siendo los aviones el medio de transporte que más contamina actualmente, aunque hay grupos ambientalistas que dudan de la efectividad de este tipo de combustibles.

Thousands demonstrated on Friday in Tahrir Square, demanding public trial of Mubarak, his interior ministry Habib el-Adly, and other regime figures.
The square and the surrounding streets since early morning have been emptied from all police and military presence. Most of the established political forces, most notably the Muslim Brothers, did not take part in the demonstrations.
The families of the martyrs were present, and demanded speedy trials of the police murderers, as it's becoming clear day by day that they will get away with what they did. More shockingly, most police officers who are currently undergoing trial still hold their positions (or have been promoted)! Demonstrators also denounced the brutal police crackdown on the protests in the square on Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Protesters marched, in solidarity with the detainees, by 4pm on the ministerial cabinet headquarters and the interior ministry. Policemen from inside the interior ministry's compound threw rocks and were making provocative gestures with their hands. Protesters responded by rocks and a shower of insults and chants against both the military and the police.
I've heard very strong chants, demanding the execution of Mubarak, Adly and Field Marshal Tantawi. While some are staging a sit in at the moment, others will resume protesting on Saturday, in the run up to the mass protests planned next Friday 8 July.
A shot from the past weekend of fishing at my favourite lake. As much as I love this location, it's really sad to see the destruction caused by a spreading epidemic, the Mountain Pine Beetle. Due to climate change, we don't get the sustained periods of freezing weather needed each winter to keep the insects in check. This has led to the demise of large portions of our pine forrests. In some cases the wood can be harvested quickly before it dries and splits, but in protected areas such as provincial parks, it is usually left standing and becomes tinder for massive forrest fires.
View Large to Read Shot Specifics
The DSLR is crop frame, I used multiple shots at a much lower ISO and I edited both images subjectively to look their best. I didn't originally intend for these two shots to be put to a comparison, I just thought the results were interesting. There are things I prefer about both shots.
*I found out the lab underexposed the Provia by a full stop!*
If the Provia had been shot at a stop slower, it would probably be a lot prettier, but I shot it at 1/30sec handheld and that's what the meter asked for. At $23 a roll after processing, I wasn't interested in exposure bracketing my shots.
Also, if anyone knows what caused those big blue dots in my Provia, it's actually on the slides, the whole roll. I processed two other rolls at the same time and it's not on those.
A 60-foot granite monument, dedicated in 1932, is perched atop 90-foot-tall Kill Devil Hill, North Carolina commemorating the achievement of the Wright brothers. They conducted many of their glider tests on the massive shifting dune that was later stabilized to form Kill Devil Hill. Inscribed in capital letters along the base of the memorial tower is the phrase "In commemoration of the conquest of the air by the brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright conceived by genius achieved by dauntless resolution and unconquerable faith." Atop the tower is a marine beacon, similar to one found in a lighthouse, that was installed to make the monument more "functional".
The tower was designed by Rodgers and Poor, a New York architectural firm; the design was officially selected on February 14, 1930. Prior to the memorial's construction, the War Department selected Captain William H. Kindervater of the Quartermaster Corps to prepare the site for construction and to manage the area landscaping. To secure the sandy foundation, Captain Kindervater selected bermuda grass to be planted on Kill Devil Hill and the surrounding area. He also ordered a special fertilizer to be spread throughout the area to promote grass and shrubbery growth and decided to build a fence to prevent animal grazing. With a strong foundation in place, the Office of the Quartermaster selected Marine Captain John A. Gilman to preside over the construction project. Construction began in October 1931 and with a budget of $213,000, the memorial was completed in November 1932. In the end, 1,200 tons of granite, more than 2,000 tons of gravel, more than 800 tons of sand and almost 400 tons of cement were used to build the structure, along with numerous other materials.

" Hector Julio Páride Bernabó ou Carybé (Lanús, 7 de fevereiro de 1911 — Salvador, 2 de outubro de 1997) foi um pintor, gravador, desenhista, ilustrador, ceramista, escultor, muralista, pesquisador, historiador e jornalista argentino naturalizado e radicado no Brasil.
Durante a época que morou no Rio de Janeiro, foi escoteiro. Lá, era costume cada um ser identificado por um nome de peixe e ele recebeu o apelido de de Carybé (nome de um tipo de piranha). O artista usou-o então como alcunha no lugar do seu nome de batismo, muito parecido com o do seu irmão, também pintor.[1]
Fez cinco mil trabalhos, entre pinturas, desenhos, esculturas e esboços. Ilustrou livros de Jorge Amado e Cem Anos de Solidão de Gabriel García Márquez. Era obá de Xangô, posto honorífico do candomblé. Faleceu na varanda da casa de Xangô, do Ilê Axé Opô Afonjá, lugar que adorava.
Uma parte da obra de Carybé se encontra no Museu Afro-Brasileiro de Salvador. São 27 painéis representando os orixás do candomblé da Bahia. Cada prancha apresenta um orixá com suas armas e animal litúrgico. Foram confeccionadas em madeira de cedro, com trabalhos de entalhe e incrustações de materiais diversos, para atender a uma encomenda do antigo Banco da Bahia S.A., atual Banco BBM S.A., que os instalou em sua agência da Avenida Sete de Setembro, no ano de 1968".
Héctor Julio Páride Bernabó or Carybé (Lanús, 7 February 1911 - Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, 2 October 1997) was a painter, engraver, draughtsman, illustrator, potter, sculptor, mural painter, researcher, historian and journalist. He settled in Brazil and naturalized as a Brazilian.
While living in Rio de Janeiro, he was a scout. There, scouts were nicknamed after types of fish, and he was given the nickname of Carybé (a kind of piranha). So the artist used it as an alias for his Christian name, which was very similar to his brother’s name, who was also an artist.
He produced five thousand pieces of work, including paintings, drawings, sculptures and sketches. He illustrated books by Jorge Amado as well as Gabriel Gárcia Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. He was an Obá de Xangô, an honorary position in candomblé. He died of heart failure during a session in a candomblé yard.
Some of Carybé’s work can be found in the Afro-Brazilian Museum of Salvador: 27 panels representing the orixás. of the Bahian candomblé. Each board shows an orixá with his weapons and his animal of worship. They were painted on Cedar wood, with engravings and scaling of various kinds of material. The work was commissioned by the former Banco da Bahia S.A., now Banco BBM S.A., which installed them in its branch on Avenida Sete de Setembro in 1968.
Carybé produced more than 5,000 works; his art was expressed through paintings, engravings, illustrations, wood carvings, mosaics and murals".

The royal couple, Lobo and Sandy, were gracious enough to pose for me a couple days ago. Lobo is particularly magnificent in my opinion. He's everything a stallion/stud should be... except for the endangering his family by taking them to the park and hanging out on the roads every night part. But just look at him. He's spectacular! And Sandy is a legend in the wild horse lover community. She's been around for years and has been with every stallion out there. Kind of like a real Mustang Ranch lady ;-) This is the band that is targeted for round-up in the next few days *sniff sniff*
Wild horse lovers, and in particular the Hidden Valley Wild Horse Association is still working to save them from round-up, and are raising funds for cattle guards and fencing to keep them out of the neighborhoods. Here is a link to their website where donations can be made

This street character is someone I ran across before, a day I didn’t have my camera and missed him in action and always swore to capture him one day. The man is a one man comedy show with a surreal sense of humour. He doesn’t do it for money or anything; he is just constantly amused by the world as he sees it. His constant prop is the handset part of an old phone which he constantly makes calls on!
This day he is tagging along with the Legalise Cannabis protestors who marched through Dublin in a fragrant cloud of protest, he doesn’t need what they propose, that’s for sure he is naturally out there.
The day I didn’t have a camera, he was using the same junk plastic handset as if it had a built in camera like a modern cell phone to photograph a Rolls Royce parked on the street and snapping shots of his friend another street dweller posing as if he owned it. Sighs .. Never forget a camera.

Nearly 200 m above the Mosel river next to Pommern and Karden lays the high plateau of the Martberg. Its name still reminds you of the celtic-roman god Lenus-Mars who has been worshipped here in ancient times.
In the celtic period, around 100 BC, the Martberg was a central town an oppidum of the local celtic tribe called Treveri. According to current research the plateau of 45 ha was densly settled with small houses made of wood and clay. The settlement was surrounded by a wall constructed out of timber and stones. The evidence of coinage, handicraft and many imported goods emphasize the importance of the settlement in these times.
In the central area of the mountain archaeologists found a sanctuary of several celtic-roman temples which date from the 1st century BC to the 4th century AD. The sanctuary was surrounded by a large rectangular collonade which has been 60 to 70 m. In the center stood the main temple built in the typical celtic-roman style. It had a central square building called cella and a surrounding roofed verandah with stone pillars. The cella was the most important part of the temple because there was the god’s statue placed. Next to the central temple four smaller temples were discovered built in the same way as the main temple. In the sanctuary archaeologists found large quantities of offerings. The believers offered more than 10.000 coins, hundreds of fibulas, weapons as well as thousands of miniature ceramic vessels to their gods. In the course of the christianisation the sanctuary was abandoned after 400 AD. The religious center moved from the Martberg to Karden where an early christian community was established.
Since the year of 2006 AD it is possible to visit the celtic-roman sanctuary again. The major temple with its impressive wall paintings and one minor temple are reconstructed completely. Two other temples and the surrounding wall are rebuilt partly. Furthermore you can see some houses built in the way of the celtic period. Many of the objects from the Martberg and 2000 years of the history of Karden can be seen in the Stiftsmuseum of Treis-Karden. The museum is located next to the church of Karden.

Due cuori che non dovrebbero
parlarsi si avvicinano
in una città che assomiglia di più ad una cella di prigione
La gente pronuncia i nostri nomi
per la strada in tono silenzioso
oh, le storie che racconterebbero
se solo qualcuno le ascoltasse
vieni da una città in cui
alla gente non importa se li saluti
a meno che qualcuno non nasca o non muoia
ed io provengo da un luogo in cui
trascinano le tue speranza nel fango
perchè i loro stessi sogni stanno tutti morendo
e quando noi parliamo per la strada
il vento canta il nostro nome in canzoni ribelli
i rumori della notte dovrebbero renderci ansiosi
ma è davvero troppo tardi una volta superata la paura
ti incontrerò in un'altra vita. te lo prometto
dove potremo stare insieme, te lo prometto
fino ad allora spetterò in Paradiso, te lo prometto
lo prometto, lo prometto
ci sono così tante battaglie
per riuscire a passare attraverso i Cancelli Perlati
ma nessuno mai vorrebbe morire o essere salvato
le loro intenzioni non sono così buone
e io posso sentire l'odore dell'asfalto
col quale stanno costruendo la loro strada per l'inferno
e quando noi parliamo per la strada
il vento canta il nostro nome in canzoni ribelli
ma è davvero troppo tardi una volta che la paura è sparita
ti incontrerò in un'altra vita, te lo prometto
dove potremo stare insieme, te lo prometto
fino ad allora aspetterò in Paradiso, te lo prometto
lo prometto, lo prometto
ti incontreò nella prossima vita, te lo prometto
dove potremo stare insieme, te lo prometto
fino ad allora spetterò in Paradiso, te lo prometto
lo prometto, lo prometto.

Having a 30" monitor is awesome for web development. I have TextMate for editing the PHP/HTML and CSSEdit for, er, editing the CSS running side by side along with a couple of terminal windows for viewing the apache logs and my FTP and MySQL apps all on screen.
On the other screen I have the various browsers and previews of the code.
Quelques dizaines d'étudiants ont réussi à entrer dans la Sorbonne avant l'arrivée des forces de l'ordre, et ils occupent un amphi pendant environ une demi-heure, sous les protestations des élèves (essentiellement des personnes âgées assistant à un cours sur la Pologne). Il y a rapidement plus de photographes que de manifestants sur la scène...
