Jerusalem, Israel: The precise reason light festoons were hung on and around the facade of this synagogue is unknown to me. However, two likely possibilities come to mind - 1) to decorate it, as the lieu of a wedding, or, 2) in honor of a Torah luminary who may have been invited to deliver a scholarly lecture there.

Cleveland has something really neat: a lake. Lake Erie to be precise, "the fourth-largest lake (by surface area) of the five Great Lakes in North America, and the eleventh-largest globally if measured in terms of surface area" (Wikipedia). It's gorgeous, and its shoreline hosts a beautiful park, Edgewater park. The park includes a pier, used by wandering souls, tourists, and people who like to fish.

This pier has been battered by the world around it, by weather, has been repaired, remodeled many times, and in turn features great textures.

I took my trusty camera, and captured sixteen of these great textures. I gently edited them, color-corrected them, and here we are. The set includes the original textures, negative versions, transparent versions, Bitmap TIFF versions, and vector versions.

These can be used for backgrounds, distressing, to give depth. Use the negative versions as aging artifacts on photos, by changing their blending mode to screen, and lowering the opacity to 25-50%. Have fun!

First let me say this... THE THOUGH, THE PLANNING, THE PRECISE PLACEMENT!!!

Okay, this project I decided to show time. Time that had passed this branch has fallen and although time has buried her she still bleeds the blood of those who have fallen.

I was inspired to do this particular transformation because I wanted to show the affect time had on my piece again but this I wanted to show a fresh wound that sits in time, never fading.

This transformation involved, baby powder, sequins, my branch, a black backdrop, bright focused lighting, and a clean piece of glass. Also let me just add in time with perfection.

Was this a breakthrough, well not in terms of concept but in terms of how I looked at my art yes. This transformation was about idea number four. It's the first time I have junked so many ideas and still went on with the show.

This transformation opened my eyes to the many ways of using my material. Do not just focus on what you think communicates but what will my audience find communicated to them when looking at this piece.

Certainly not but again not a breakthrough.

I noticed here my classmates wanted less of a direct answer and more of a view. This piece they considered too close.

When given feedback I realize I need to be less focused allow my audience to wander about my piece give them time to think. Do not force my thoughts on my audience rather leave them the ability to take the journey with me.

To the best of my ability no, I could have definitely found a more creative use for the main book part when creating this transformation.

With this transformation I could have used a thin paper and shone light through it to really capture all of the detail that my time was spent creating.

I placed a light above the 2-D piece after trying to imitate the effects of a snow storm. Also the tree is lying on it's side the blood seeping from it's wound. In the background you can see the book being overshadowed by the fallen tree.

Large, precise EQ-pots for super smooth frequency tweaks, each coupled with a 10mm fader for razor sharp cuts - The EQ section itself makes this a dream machine! For even more precise mixing I threw out the original channel faders and replaced them with rotary potentiometeres just like the ones used on the EQ. Next project: Replace the old CF-R crossfader with a more scratch-friendly one :)

Warangal Fort, in the present-day Indian state of Telangana, appears to have existed since at least the 13th century CE. Although precise dating of its construction and subsequent enhancements are uncertain, historians and archaeologists generally accept that an earlier brick-walled structure was replaced with stone by Ganapatideva, who died in 1262, and that his successors – Rudramadevi and Prataparudra II – added to its height and added gateways, square bastions and additional circular earthern walls prior to the latter's death in 1323. This places the construction towards the end of the Kakatiya period. There were later modifications between the 15th and 17th centuries, comprising principally the addition of barbicans to the four gates in the stone wall and the creation of gates in the outer earthern wall.

Remnants of the structure can be seen today near to the town of Warangal, which was the Kakatiya capital. The Archaeological Survey of India has listed the remains as a Monument of National Importance.

_____________________________

The 12th and the 13th centuries saw the emergence of the Kakatiyas. They were at first the feudatories of the Western Chalukyas of Kalyana, ruling over a small territory near Warangal. A ruler of this dynasty, Prola II, who ruled from A.D.1110 to 1158, extended his sway to the south and declared his independence. His successor Rudra (A.D.1158--1195) pushed the kingdom to the north up to the Godavari delta. He built a fort at Warangal to serve as a second capital and faced the invasions of the Yadavas of Devagiri. The next ruler Mahadeva extended the kingdom to the coastal area. In A.D.1199, Ganapati succeeded him. He was the greatest of the Kakatiyas and the first after the Satavahanas to bring the entire Telugu area under one rule. He put an end to the rule of the Velanati Cholas in A.D.1210. He forced the Telugu Cholas of Vikramasimhapura to accept his suzerainty. He established order in his vast dominion and encouraged trade.

As Ganapati Deva had no sons, his daughter Rudramba succeeded him in A.D.1262 and carried on the administration. Some generals, who did not like to be ruled by her, rebelled. She could, however, suppress the internal rebellions and external invasions with the help of loyal subordinates. The Cholas and the Yadavas suffered such set backs at her hands that they did not think of troubling her for the rest of her rule.

Prataparudra succeeded his grandmother Rudramba in A.D.1295 and ruled till A.D.1323. He pushed the western border of his kingdom up to Raichur. He introduced many administrative reforms. He divided the kingdom into 75 Nayakships, which was later adopted and developed by the Rayas of Vijayanagara. In his time the territory constituting Andhra Pradesh had the first experience of a Muslim invasion. In A.D.1303, the Delhi Sultan Ala-ud-din Khilji sent an army to plunder the kingdom. But Prataparudra defeated them at Upparapalli in Karimnagar district. In A.D. 1310, when another army under Malik Kafur invaded Warangal, Prataparudra yielded and agreed to pay a large tribute. In A.D.1318, when Ala-ud-din Khilji died, Prataparudra withheld the tribute. It provoked another invasion of the Muslims. In A.D.1321, Ghiaz-ud-din Tughlaq sent a large army under Ulugh Khan to conquer the Telugu country then called Tilling. He laid siege to Warangal, but owing to internal dissensions he called off the siege and returned to Delhi. Within a short period, he came back with a much bigger army. In spite of unpreparedness, Prataparudra fought bravely. For want of supplies, he surrendered to the enemy who sent him to Delhi as a prisoner, and he died on the way. Thus ended the Kakatiya rule, opening the gates of the Telugu land to anarchy and confusion yielding place to an alien ruler.

The Kakatiya period was rightly called the brightest period of the Telugu history. The entire Telugu speaking area was under the kings who spoke Telugu and encouraged Telugu. They established order throughout the strife torn land and the forts built by them played a dominant role in the defence of the realm. Anumakonda and Gandikota among the `giridurgas', Kandur and Narayanavanam among the `vanadurgas', Divi and Kolanu among the `jaladurgas', and Warangal and Dharanikota among the `sthaladurgas' were reckoned as the most famous strongholds in the Kakatiya period. The administration of the kingdom was organized with accent on the military.

Though Saivism continued to be the religion of the masses, intellectuals favoured revival of Vedic rituals. They sought to reconcile the Vaishnavites and the Saivites through the worship of Harihara. Arts and literature found patrons in the Kakatiyas and their feudatories.

Thank you friends, for your immediate and precise information!! I got it well wow it is nice!! This experience is likely to make me interested in fowls. (^O^) After browsing Japanese web sites on this, I knew that this bird often puzzles Japanese as I did haha

... well then,

Bariken/Taiwan-gamo/France-gamo, バリケン/台湾鴨/フランス鴨、Muscovy duck, Cairina moschata

According to Wikpedia ... "....... a large duck which is native to Mexico, Central and South America. ......... There also are feral breeding populations in North America in and around public parks in nearly every state of the USA and in the Canadian provinces. Although the Muscovy Duck is a tropical bird, it adapts to icy and snowy conditions down to -12°C (10°F) and below without ill effects The wild Muscovy Duck is all-dark apart from the white in the wings, with long talons on its feet and a wide flat tail. ...Some domesticated ducklings have a dark head and blue eyes, others a light brown crown and dark markings on their nape. They are agile and speedy precocial hunters.

From Japanese web search I also knew that ... Introduced to Japan for farming but marketing failed. escaped birds naturalized in many water surface,,,,the only house duck that is not originated in Mallard. ....Japanese name "Bariken" originates from Dutch word "Bergeeende" ... so maybe introduced from Netherland? Other Japanese name means "Taiwan duck", "French duck"

Initial discription -----------------------

I have little knowledge about birds, and nothing especially on fowls. Someone please teach me what is he!!

I thought this one is some kind of turkey or so (^.^;;, but ahh! it jumped into the pond!! I think a turkey does not swim... right? You may laugh at my stone ignorance!! (^O^)

Today I went to Otto-numa park to watch ducks. The sun was warm spring sun, but strong wind was winter north wind. I sit by the pond, and enjoyed watching ducks. I love to watch pin-tails, they are really cute and comical. Swans were swimming elegantly.

There are many feeders and every time someone feeds, there happened quite a mess lol. In front of me a mallard was trying to raxx a white duck (^.^;;

On the bank various kinds of homeless fowls, whom I cannot identify only if it is chicken or not lol, and landed pintails were always making mess following walkers expecting feed. This park, especially in winter is birds wonderland haha.

One after another, fowls came to me, walked about circling around me, so I did much conversation with them haha. "I know you ware nice jacket, but have you ever caught cold? Don't say you have that bird ful!" "..gobble... gobble"

I suddenly thought that fowl may be much more photogenic than wild birds here on close up, and tried some shots haha.

A cartoon (precise drawing) is made of the old panel, it is also photographed.

The lead is carefully cut apart to free all the glass.

Any damaged glass is replaced, then the existing glass is cleaned.

New lead is cut to size and the glass pieces are assembled, above the cartoon, held in place with horse-shoe nails.

The lead joints are soldered on both sides.

The panel is flooded with a liquid cement which is brushed into the gaps between the lead and glass.

Plaster of Paris or Beech sawdust is brushed over the surface.

The panel is left for 24 hours, then cleaned on both sides.

After 3 days the cement should be dry enough (and ridged enough) to finally clean and polish the panel.

Warangal Fort, in the present-day Indian state of Telangana, appears to have existed since at least the 13th century CE. Although precise dating of its construction and subsequent enhancements are uncertain, historians and archaeologists generally accept that an earlier brick-walled structure was replaced with stone by Ganapatideva, who died in 1262, and that his successors – Rudramadevi and Prataparudra II – added to its height and added gateways, square bastions and additional circular earthern walls prior to the latter's death in 1323. This places the construction towards the end of the Kakatiya period. There were later modifications between the 15th and 17th centuries, comprising principally the addition of barbicans to the four gates in the stone wall and the creation of gates in the outer earthern wall.

Remnants of the structure can be seen today near to the town of Warangal, which was the Kakatiya capital. The Archaeological Survey of India has listed the remains as a Monument of National Importance.

_____________________________

The 12th and the 13th centuries saw the emergence of the Kakatiyas. They were at first the feudatories of the Western Chalukyas of Kalyana, ruling over a small territory near Warangal. A ruler of this dynasty, Prola II, who ruled from A.D.1110 to 1158, extended his sway to the south and declared his independence. His successor Rudra (A.D.1158--1195) pushed the kingdom to the north up to the Godavari delta. He built a fort at Warangal to serve as a second capital and faced the invasions of the Yadavas of Devagiri. The next ruler Mahadeva extended the kingdom to the coastal area. In A.D.1199, Ganapati succeeded him. He was the greatest of the Kakatiyas and the first after the Satavahanas to bring the entire Telugu area under one rule. He put an end to the rule of the Velanati Cholas in A.D.1210. He forced the Telugu Cholas of Vikramasimhapura to accept his suzerainty. He established order in his vast dominion and encouraged trade.

As Ganapati Deva had no sons, his daughter Rudramba succeeded him in A.D.1262 and carried on the administration. Some generals, who did not like to be ruled by her, rebelled. She could, however, suppress the internal rebellions and external invasions with the help of loyal subordinates. The Cholas and the Yadavas suffered such set backs at her hands that they did not think of troubling her for the rest of her rule.

Prataparudra succeeded his grandmother Rudramba in A.D.1295 and ruled till A.D.1323. He pushed the western border of his kingdom up to Raichur. He introduced many administrative reforms. He divided the kingdom into 75 Nayakships, which was later adopted and developed by the Rayas of Vijayanagara. In his time the territory constituting Andhra Pradesh had the first experience of a Muslim invasion. In A.D.1303, the Delhi Sultan Ala-ud-din Khilji sent an army to plunder the kingdom. But Prataparudra defeated them at Upparapalli in Karimnagar district. In A.D. 1310, when another army under Malik Kafur invaded Warangal, Prataparudra yielded and agreed to pay a large tribute. In A.D.1318, when Ala-ud-din Khilji died, Prataparudra withheld the tribute. It provoked another invasion of the Muslims. In A.D.1321, Ghiaz-ud-din Tughlaq sent a large army under Ulugh Khan to conquer the Telugu country then called Tilling. He laid siege to Warangal, but owing to internal dissensions he called off the siege and returned to Delhi. Within a short period, he came back with a much bigger army. In spite of unpreparedness, Prataparudra fought bravely. For want of supplies, he surrendered to the enemy who sent him to Delhi as a prisoner, and he died on the way. Thus ended the Kakatiya rule, opening the gates of the Telugu land to anarchy and confusion yielding place to an alien ruler.

The Kakatiya period was rightly called the brightest period of the Telugu history. The entire Telugu speaking area was under the kings who spoke Telugu and encouraged Telugu. They established order throughout the strife torn land and the forts built by them played a dominant role in the defence of the realm. Anumakonda and Gandikota among the `giridurgas', Kandur and Narayanavanam among the `vanadurgas', Divi and Kolanu among the `jaladurgas', and Warangal and Dharanikota among the `sthaladurgas' were reckoned as the most famous strongholds in the Kakatiya period. The administration of the kingdom was organized with accent on the military.

Though Saivism continued to be the religion of the masses, intellectuals favoured revival of Vedic rituals. They sought to reconcile the Vaishnavites and the Saivites through the worship of Harihara. Arts and literature found patrons in the Kakatiyas and their feudatories.

Very precise sensors are scattered throughout the Los Angeles Basin to better understand how lithospheric deformation occurs. In other words, small earthquakes occur on a daily basis, and several devices measure how Earth's surface moves, breaks, bends. These measurements are also used to potentially warn about seismic risk in certain areas, even if no, we can not predict when an earthquake will occur, how big is it going to be, what areas will be affected.

This device is on a lonely cliff in the Santa Monica Mountains.

It's now commonplace to plant these little studs in the ground wherever precise survey markers are needed. Their position is very precisely established. They can then be used for calibration of the local surveying equipment used by the builders etc.. They have poles with special feet which fit onto the stud, and use lasers and GPS to refer to other local kit on tripods etc.. The kit I've seen the tram workers in Princes Street using has all been Trimble stuff. Typical accuracy is within 2mm, and is established rapidly with the aid of computer, lasers, and GPS satellites which the US Department of Defence has generously given us all free access to.

The US also gives free access to all of its national map data. Unlike the anal British Government bean counters who've hobbled all sorts of interesting geographic data applications by insisting that the Ordnance Survey terrifies everyone into paying for every bit of map data access. And which of course has only succeeded in driving business away from the Ordnance Survey into more intelligently managed alternatives (such as Google's mappery).

We're so lucky that the British inventor of the World Wide Web was a scientist who deliberately made the web public so that it was impossible for our government to get its short sighted greedy little fingers on it.

This stud by the way takes the prize as the crappiest survey stud installation I've yet seen in Edinburgh. I wonder who was responsible for it?

Warangal Fort, in the present-day Indian state of Telangana, appears to have existed since at least the 13th century CE. Although precise dating of its construction and subsequent enhancements are uncertain, historians and archaeologists generally accept that an earlier brick-walled structure was replaced with stone by Ganapatideva, who died in 1262, and that his successors – Rudramadevi and Prataparudra II – added to its height and added gateways, square bastions and additional circular earthern walls prior to the latter's death in 1323. This places the construction towards the end of the Kakatiya period. There were later modifications between the 15th and 17th centuries, comprising principally the addition of barbicans to the four gates in the stone wall and the creation of gates in the outer earthern wall.

Remnants of the structure can be seen today near to the town of Warangal, which was the Kakatiya capital. The Archaeological Survey of India has listed the remains as a Monument of National Importance.

Several years ago I made a career change or maybe- to be precise- a career change was forced on me. Either way a change was made. In the process I was wiped out financially. Without getting into the details of my own stupidity, in my late forties I found myself starting over. In taking inventory of what I had learned and what I want to do, I decided to put my experience to good use by becoming a professional sales trainer. This story has a happy ending. I thoroughly enjoy my work and as I head into my fifties I find new doors opening at time when most men find them closing. Aside from a great support network at home, what sustained me through the transition is my own peculiar trait of being a skeptical optimist. The skepticism is the result of getting older, I suppose; the optimism was a gift from my folks.

The optimist part is piece that doesn’t quite fit the puzzle when you look at my photographs of the city. Often I find myself scratching my head and wondering, “Is this really me? Am I that negative?” Truth is I believe the city will rebound and the area will once again thrive. That’s the glass half- full guy. The skeptic says, maybe but not in your lifetime, Gramps.

This scene in the Cass Corridor touches on some of the reason for my optimism. These buildings are earmarked for development. Just east of these buildings is a new development of Condos. Throughout Downtown there are pockets of redevelopment and even in the slow real estate market these days, change plods on. The desolation is strangely creating opportunity by creating an inventory of cheap land. It wont happen in a rush. We will never see growth like Detroit saw in the early 20th Century, but things will change. Doors will be opened.
