As you can see the title is really shouting on my image...(not unless you see otherwise eg child labor)This is included on my first few photos i took .. my escort told me that we start on the top of the Ulingan .. for me to see the "grandeur" of the Place.I was actually zoomed at 130mm on this shot. to see the perseverance and the helpfulness of a child (and hope / think he enjoys it).. it still brings out a joy in me.. a smile ..:)
Judy and I are building a bunk bead for the kids. It doesn't look like much, but it's the first recognizable part. - Feels like we're finally getting somewhere.

Seneca Nation of Indians Partners with National Park Service on Exhibit
and Cultural Education at Fort Necessity
FARMINGTON, Pa., The National Park Service has partnered with the Seneca
Nation of Indians in New York. This partnership includes a museum exhibit,
cultural festival, and cultural training. The Seneca-Iroquois National
Museum in New York has developed the exhibit entitled "The Seneca and the
French & Indian War. Installation is in progress and the exhibit opens April
19, 2014 for National Park Week at Fort Necessity National Battlefield. It
will be displayed in the park's visitor center through March 31, 2015.
In celebration of National Park Week, April 19 and 20 is a fee free weekend
at all National Parks. Entrance fees will be waived at the National Park
sites in western Pennsylvania - Fort Necessity, Johnstown Flood National
Memorial, and Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site. Flight 93
National Memorial and Friendship Hill National Historic Site are National
Park sites that do not have entrance fees.
The Onöndowa'ga:' (Seneca) are one of the six nations of
Haudenosaunee("Iroquois Confederacy"), or people of the Long House.
The Onöndowa'ga:'
are known at "Keepers of the Western Door" within that political alliance.
In the 1700's their influence extended far beyond their traditional
homelands in New York State as they played a prominent role in the
political and military events surrounding the French and Indian War.
"The Seneca and the French and Indian War" reveals aspects of the Seneca
and Haudenosaunee culture and how it influenced the events of the
mid-1700s. Artifacts on loan from the Rochester Museum & Science Center
and the Seneca-Iroquois National Museum will be displayed along with pieces
from Fort Necessity's collection.
A cultural weekend is planned for June 28-29, 2014 at Fort Necessity. Guest
lecturers and cultural demonstrators will highlight the event with focus on
Seneca life in mid-18th century America. Special programming at the event
will include demonstrative arts of traditional dance and children's games,
as well as talks on the Seneca involvement in the French and Indian War and
the use wampum in Seneca culture.
While the exhibit and cultural weekend highlight Onöndowa'ga':s (Seneca's)
roles as diplomats and warriors in the French and Indian War, and in the
development of "The Seneca Plan" that eventually became known as Pontiac's
War, they also aim to inform that the Seneca are still a vibrant and
dynamic sovereign Nation in New York State.
During the fall of 2014, members of the Seneca-Iroquois National Museum and
the National Park Service will conduct a teacher's in-service
Haudenosauneeculture and history.
Fort Necessity National Battlefield is located 11 miles east of Uniontown,
Pennsylvania on US 40 - The Historic National Road. Admission to the park
is $5.00 per adult, children 15 and under are free of charge. The fee is
collected at the Interpretive and Education Center and is valid for seven
days. For more information on park programs, call 724-329-5811 or visit

Still working on it. I haven't made any blocks at all for a shamefully long time now. I've gotten bogged down with being sick and having a craft fair to make for.

The Seals, Sea Lions and Walruses of Morley's Progress Street Precinct are soon to be removed. I decided to record them before they're gone.
Now I saw in my dream, that just as they had ended this talk, they drew nigh to a very miry slough that was in the midst of the plain: and they being heedless, did both fall suddenly into the bog. The name of the slough was Despond. Here, therefore, they wallowed for a time, being grievously bedaubed with the dirt; and Christian, because of the burden that was on his back, began to sink in the mire.
Pliable: Then said Pliable, Ah, neighbor Christian, where are you now?
Christian: Truly, said Christian, I do not know.
Pliable: At this Pliable began to be offended, and angrily said to his fellow, Is this the happiness you have told me all this while of? If we have such ill speed at our first setting out, what may we expect between this and our journey’s end? May I get out again with my life, you shall possess the brave country alone for me. And with that he gave a desperate struggle or two, and got out of the mire on that side of the slough which was next to his own house: so away he went, and Christian saw him no more.
Wherefore Christian was left to tumble in the Slough of Despond alone; but still he endeavored to struggle to that side of the slough that was farthest from his own house, and next to the wicket-gate; the which he did, but could not get out because of the burden that was upon his back: but I beheld in my dream, that a man came to him, whose name was Help, and asked him what he did there.
Christian: Sir, said Christian, I was bid to go this way by a man called Evangelist, who directed me also to yonder gate, that I might escape the wrath to come. And as I was going thither, I fell in here.
Help: But why did not you look for the steps?
Christian: Fear followed me so hard that I fled the next way, and fell in.
Help: Then, said he, Give me thine hand: so he gave him his hand, and he drew him out, and he set him upon sound ground, and bid him go on his way.
Then I stepped to him that plucked him out, and said, “Sir, wherefore, since over this place is the way from the city of Destruction to yonder gate, is it, that this plat is not mended, that poor travellers might go thither with more security?” And he said unto me, “This miry slough is such a place as cannot be mended: it is the descent whither the scum and filth that attends conviction for sin doth continually run, and therefore it is called the Slough of Despond; for still, as the sinner is awakened about his lost condition, there arise in his soul many fears and doubts, and discouraging apprehensions, which all of them get together, and settle in this place: and this is the reason of the badness of this ground.
“It is not the pleasure of the King that this place should remain so bad.His laborers also have, by the direction of his Majesty’s surveyors, been for above this sixteen hundred years employed about this patch of ground, if perhaps it might have been mended: yea, and to my knowledge,” said he, “there have been swallowed up at least twenty thousand cart loads, yea, millions of wholesome instructions, that have at all seasons been brought from all places of the King’s dominions, (and they that can tell, say, they are the best materials to make good ground of the place,) if so be it might have been mended; but it is the Slough of Despond still, and so will be when they have done what they can.
“True, there are, by the direction of the Lawgiver, certain good and substantial steps, placed even through the very midst of this slough; but at such time as this place doth much spew out its filth, as it doth against change of weather, these steps are hardly seen; or if they be, men, through the dizziness of their heads, step beside, and then they are bemired to purpose, notwithstanding the steps be there: but the ground is good when they are once got in at the gate.” Now I saw in my dream, that by this time Pliable was got home to his house. So his neighbors came to visit him; and some of them called him wise man for coming back, and some called him fool for hazarding himself with Christian: others again did mock at his cowardliness, saying, “Surely, since you began to venture, I would not have been so base as to have given out for a few difficulties:” so Pliable sat sneaking among them. But at last he got more confidence, and then they all turned their tales, and began to deride poor Christian behind his back. And thus much concerning Pliable.

I was told that until now, people notice that my face has gotten sharper by losing weight :) so I thought I'd put the first and the last week together ...what do you think? (8 kg until now = -10%)
The Jumierah Palm is blooming from 28,000 feet. you may notice the lavish resort hotel, Atlantis, at the top curve, ( top right corner ) .
Everybody's a bloody critic. I KNEW I shouldn't let the Flicker talk to the duck.
For those in North America with clear skies tonight, this could be the peak of the Perseid meteor shower. The moon will be a problem, but you may be able to see some in the northeast right after dark and before moonrise. It's highly recommended as one of the top cheap date ideas as well.
My entry to Round 4 of the 2014 Bio-Cup, against Hahli141 and his great entry, the Manipulator.
Sgt. Jason Stormer (Preston's younger brother) has just joined the Hero Factory task force, and has been assigned a powerful transforming Helicopter robot, the Helix Enforcer!
Features gear-operated spinning rotor unit, Midak sky blasters on either side, and 2 powerful machine guns, this swift helicopter is capable of rendering even the most forceful army units helpless. For terrestrial combat, this unit transforms into a walker mech with a rotating drill laser and a rotator tri-blade saw!
Creator's comments:
this particular entry was a lotta fun to make, but was the culmination of many unfruitful mocing days, where I slowly progressed on the main body. The rest pretty much came together earlier today, as I work best under the pressure of the deadline. Granted, I'm not fully satisfied with the back (rather annoyed by it in fact), but my supply of white parts was running dreadfully short. I need more white panels, dammit!
Anywho, this was really fun to make, and I like what I've been able to hatch out for this round. Could have been better most definitely. If only I had more parts :/
Best of luck to my opponent Hahli141, who has created a wonderful mech/vic viper combo. Signing off :)
Two days later. Most things are healing quickly. My leg road-rash is nearly gone. I was able to remove the head bandages today. The left ear is still mighty-swollen, and the stitches provide an odd sensation.
We'll see. I've been canceling job interviews because I don't quite think I'm "presentable" at the moment.
