Entabeh nari mata kena tertunduh, aku nimaisa turang tangis teriluh.
(*Bahasa Batak Karo diterjemahkan ke Bahasa Indonesia:: Lelap sekali sepertinya tidurmu, sementara aku di sini menangis menunggumu) Dikutip dari lagu Piso Surit.
This photo was made on June 2, 18 days after I broke my leg. I took this very early in the morning, while the swelling was very nearly non-existant (it swells during the day and goes down at night). You can still see bruising at the base of my toes, on the right side of my foot, and on the front of my leg. Yuck.
This beauty is sitting on my lap and purring as I type. I love that she comfortably approaches me for loving now. So hard that she had such a tremendous setback at the vet office. But the real progress happened last night. Pandora likes to be near me, so she sat on the sofa. Kevin was seated at the other end. Kevin put out a trail of treats and led Pandra into his lap where he could pet her as long as he gave her treats. Once the treats were gone, Pandora was gone. Very food motivated, but a very useful trait to have. Yay!

Blackpool Transport's 'Progress Twin-Car' 673/683 heads south along the coast, captured at 12.50 between Cleveleys and Bispham with a service to the Pleasure Beach.
1st November 1992
Overlooked by Decimus Burton's Upper (Pharos) Lighthouse of 1840, one of Blackpool's new low-floor Bombardier Flexity2 trams sets off on its journey back to Starr Gate. "Progress" is Blackpool's official motto, and the town is proud of its upgraded tramway, but the while 16 units now in service provide all mod-cons for the local population, they are less wondrous as crowd-shifters during the Illuminations season. Being squidged in with the rest of the crowds is as much fun as a rush-hour journey on the London Tube - and I saw no sign of the remaining heritage trams giving a hand.
This is what happens when designers show what functionality is - and fail to realize the logic of a progress bar - maye it accellerates to the end?
A tree outside of Wingo Hall on the University of Central Arkansas campus is progressing well in its transformation this week. Gary Keenan, an artist from Iowa, is using chainsaws to carve a bear from the tree, which was diseased. The UCA mascot should be finished on Thursday.
Following 4020 (GN58 BUH) loosing the 91 branding below its nearside windows some time ago now, it's now lost it from the offside as well - it looks to be a tactically placed advert!
The above windows branding remains both sides. The bus no longer works 91s following the arrival of new StreetLites.
I've seen 4017 and 4021 recently, and 4018 quite recently, still branded.
Has anyone seen 4019 of late - or could it have followed 4022 and gone for refurbishment?

The Progress of Rivers
"The progress of rivers to the ocean is not so rapid as that of man to error."
Voltaire
Like those before
We are culled
And cut
And trimmed
back.
But our marks have been made
And we will
Grow
Again.

“Because of the policies George Bush has pursued and John McCain
would continue, the entire Middle East is more dangerous. The United
States and our allies, including Israel, are less secure,” said Sen.
Joe Biden (D-DE) at the Center for American Progress.
McCain “does not have a plan” for Iraq, said Biden. McCain’s plan is “the
same as President Bush’s plan: Stay, Stay in Iraq until the very last
of Iranian influence is eliminated. Stay in Iraq until the last member
of Al Qaeda is killed. Stay in Iraq indefinitely.”
Sen. John McCain said he has soaring hopes of
accomplishing the plans that have been set forth in regards to Iraq,
and that he hopes to see the war ended by 2013. Sen. McCain and
President Bush both also have insinuated that it would be a large
mistake to leave before Al Qaeda in Iraq is defeated.
Biden challenged their plan, saying that it is imperative to bring
home our troops without leaving chaos behind in Iraq. “We are spending
$3 billion a week on this war, while losing 30 to 40 U.S. soldiers and
personnel a month.”
“John continues to cling to the failed strategy of this
administration, which is that it is possible to have a Shia-dominated
central government, strong enough that it in fact controls the whole
country, and has the support and confidence of the Kurds and the
Sunnis. I wish that were true but I don’t believe in the lifetime of
anyone in this room that will happen,” said Biden.
Biden argued that the costs of our involvement in Iraq have
outweighed the benefits and have ironically strengthened the greatest
challenge to U.S. interests in the region: Iran. But “the idea that we
can wipe out every vestige of Iran’s influence in Iraq is a fantasy,”
Biden said. “Even with 160,000 American troops in Iraq, Prime Minister
Maliki, our ally in Baghdad, greets Iran’s leader with kisses—Iran is a
major regional power and it shares a long border—and a long
history—with Iraq. Right now, Iran loves the status quo, with 140,000
Americans troops bogged down and bleeding, caught in a cross fire of
intra-Shi’a rivalry and Sunni-Shi’a civil war.”
Biden explained that by “drawing down, we can take away Iran’s
ability to wage a proxy war against our troops and force Tehran to
concentrate on avoiding turmoil inside Iraq’s borders and instability
beyond them.”
“We are no closer to the President’s stated goal of an Iraq that can
defend itself, govern it and sustain itself in peace,” Biden said, and
“we can’t keep treading without exhausting ourselves and doing great
and permanent damage to our vital interest around the world.”
This was for a photo essay I did in the late 1990's, where I took historic photographs taken in the 1800's in downtown Fresno to show what change in view had transpired. The photo I hold is of a magnificent three-story bank building, built in 1888...the present view in was a parking lot with a row of port-a-potties. Real progress..

Synopsis: Directed by Diego Luna, "Cesar Chávez" chronicles the birth of a modern American movement led by famed civil rights leader and labor organizer, Cesar Chavez. Torn between his duties as a husband and father and his commitment to bringing dignity and justice to others, Chavez embraced non-violence as he battled greed and prejudice in his struggle for the rights of farm workers. His triumphant journey is a remarkable testament to the power of one individual's ability to change the system.
