Yesterday I looked on Google Maps for a fish and chip shop near Daffodil House. It showed me one 28 minutes walk away. I looked again today and found the same one and another, 20 minutes away.
I walked down to the shopping mall, 10 minutes walk away, and carried on past to check out the other shops. And there was a lovely, clean, friendly chip shop with tables to eat in, Allganics soft drinks in the fridge (as well as fizzy drinks which I can't have) and wet fish to buy. They had some nice looking boneless salmon fillets and I might get one at the weekend.
They had a choice of four fish to have cooked fresh: blue cod (they had just run out), sole, gurnard and tarakihi.
This is gurnard and chips. It was delicious.

Take the old ones out back
Sew them tight at the seams please
I've got so many ripped knees, ripped knees

Performance Art, Multimedia Installation
Stereoscope is an interactive light installation at Toronto City Hall. This installation by the German group Project Blinkenlights transforms the landmark towers into a huge display screen by arranging lamps behind each of the 960 windows of the building. From dusk till dawn, the façade will serve as an ever-changing and evolving kaleidoscope of graphic animations automatically generated and interactively orchestrated. The public can influence "Stereoscope" through a variety of interfaces including smartphones, the web and physical controllers located at Nathan Phillips Square. Everybody is invited to participate and get more information at www.blinkenlights.net
In 2001, Project Blinkenlights became famous in Berlin as the first large-scale interactive media that could be controlled by a simple mobile phone. The project that later became known as "Blinkenlights" spawned a follow-up installation of even greater dimensions and scope at the Blibiothèque Nationale de France in Paris, France. Project Blinkenlights develops all technology on its own. The computer software used to run this project is published under an open-source license.
Project Flickr Week 52 - 21-28 December - SHOWCASE
This weeks workflow is a break from the restoration photography.Its somewhat relevant in that restoration work has an effect on the whole building.The cases in which these creatures belong have just been recently covered up to protect them from the dust coming down as the scaffold is being dismantled.As you can see there's another world waiting in here ---i couldnt resist!!
Im finding that flickr is a real pain in the arse since its changed so like some other sensible minded people im skipping over to the lighter side --catch the link
thanks

I made the organiser for AidenDecou for our blog swap!
The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England. Inside the two biomes are plants that are collected from many diverse climates and environments. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 2 km (1.2 mi) from the town of St Blazey and 5 km (3 mi) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.
The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining domes that house thousands of plant species, and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The biomes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The largest of the two biomes simulates a Rainforest environment and the second, a Mediterranean environment. The attraction also has an outside botanical garden which is home to many plants and wildlife native to Cornwall and the UK in general; it also has many plants that provide an important and interesting backstory, for example, those with a prehistoric heritage.

Note: ... the scanner really hiccuped on this one...the colours are very subtle. THIS image is about us getting used to driving on the other side of the road again...traumatic like usual. Much writing to be added below the illustration...
This is my Eagle project. I put in for raised-bed gardens, painted the swingset frame, and put in a out door classroom under the swingset (the stump). There is a checker board on the stump.
The paperwork is in the works. I hope to get Eagle Scout by the end of June; all of my merit badges are finished.
In July, I will be going down to West Virginia for the 2013 National Boy Scout Jamboree. I am on staff, and the area i am working in needs me to wear a kilt. So if you are going to Jambo, please let me know.
This picture is #56 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at www.100Strangers.com
Brendon is one off the last in Line who fish from the shore line .. An ancient / Roman time pursuit , done by crossing the Mud flats of the sea on wooden sledges / trolley / Mud Horse ! They go two miles out on trechorous sinking mud to go and collect the fish that have been caught in the nets that have been tied to stakes. They have approx two hours to collect the days catch and push themsleves back , the tide is one of the highest and quickest in Europe so one has to keep an eye on the tide or you will never get back. The picture i included is the wooden sea horse plus the fish shed , where the fish is sold to the locals from far and wide. Brendon's Son has now taken over , they fish for 8 days then take a break pending the moon and tide ... Start all over again. These guys are serious ! Believe you me .. The only family fishing this way in The whole of Europe. Now , this is part of the story as i have been asked to go out with Adrain and photo while out in the mud flats !! A possible chance .. least there is no heights involved but i cant swim , never go in the sea lol ( The tide is out but one will be looking over one' s shoulder to keep an eye on the tide !! In B&W it will be spectaular but then again sinking mud .. just you and the Mud Horse to keep you from sinking .. Rather you than me but anything for a photo !!
If you google Stolford , Mud Horse . sellick , you will see the history on what they do !!
This will be my last post now so tally ho ! Im planned and ready for the off .. catch up mid september ... Good luck to all you new members of this fantastic project CJ.. keep snapping and the well established members go slow !! I will be back
"The 1996 Italian food film Big Night, peaked a decade too early. Audiences today crave food truck wars, watching a man suffer through eating the world’s hottest-ghost-pepper-5lb-cheeseburger… in 20 minutes with no water, the next Top Chef, etc. My son can watch a Pixar movie about a rat cooking haute cuisine. So imagine the Stanley Tucci and Tony Shaloub film if it were released 14 years later in today’s food crazed world? Remember that final scene in Big Night? It is almost 5 minutes long, uncut, nearly wordless. Probably one of the best endings to a movie in hollywood. The two brothers have accepted the defeat of their faltering Italian restaurant in 1950′s New York and the next morning Stanley Tucci’s character cooks a breakfast frittata for his brother, whom he had just had a falling out with the previous night. Imagine instead of a frittata, it was a carbonara cooked in that scene – it would have been perfect.
There are hundreds of different variations to cooking carbonara..." read more here at: Vesper Bistro
Urban Belonging Project was created by Urban Belonging Collective (INT): Sofie Burgos-Thorsen (DK), Drude Emilie Ehn (DK), Anders Koed Madsen (DK), Thorben Simonsen (DK), Sabine Niederer (NL), Maarten Groen (NL), Carlo De Gaetano (IT), Kathrine Norsk (DK), Federico Di Fresco (AR), Gehl Architects (DK), Techno-Anthropology Lab – Aalborg University (DK), Service Design Lab – Aalborg University (DK), Visual Methodologies Collective – Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (NL), Center for Digital Welfare – IT University Copenhagen (DK).
The Urban Belonging Project innovates methods for citizen engagement that foreground diverse and marginalized experiences in planning. The project invited participants who identify as lgbt+, deaf, homeless, internationals, ethnic minorities, mentally vulnerable, and/or physically disabled to document their experiences of belonging in Copenhagen using participatory GIS and a new open source photovoice app, developed for the project.

Group exhibition at the Gerard Dillon Gallery, Culturlann, Falls rd, Belfast
In 2001, Rosie McGurran established the Inishlacken Project in memory of the Falls road artist, Gerard Dillon, after reading Three Men on an Island by James MacIntyre. The book recalls a visit he made to Inishlacken island, Connemara in 1951 on Dillon's invitation. During his time there, Dillon invited many of his fellow artists to join him, inadvertantly creating a visual archive of the island. McGurran established the Project to honour the artists from the past while creating a 21st Century archive of contemporary visual art.
Project Quilting's first challenge in Season 10 is "Hope springs eternal". I thought of the Hope Diamond. This is, I realise, a loose interpretation of a diamond, but it ties in with me wanting to make a foundation-pieced string block as I have a huge pile of scrap strips which I've been hoarding for too long.
So I made four, in multi-faceted colours which I thought would work well together. And after I'd stitched the binding on I realised that my PQMysteryQAL (from the previous week) was done in this same exact colourway, including the low-volume background and yellow binding.
The quilting is a little experimental, trying out a simple Zentangle design seen recently. It probably seems a little dark (it's a variegated brown) but I was dying to try out a new quilting thread (Signature 40wt cotton, colour is Taupe -- it's lovely to work with).
And all the while I was sewing this week, I was Hoping my LQS won't be closing down. And so, there's Hope stitched all through this piece.
I'm working away on this. It's been three or four months so far (not stitching everyday, christmas is an interruption) The sunflower isn't done because I am currently out of a couple of the colors, and I figured there were plenty of other parts I could stitch before I run out to buy more. I've been stitching on the grass for a couple of months, and I think I'm going to need to stop and take a break and stitch a different part for a while so I don't go INSANE! Just finished filling in that area of grass last night!

RAINWATER PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1.0 Introduction
Proper project cycle management is required to promote indigenous rainwater harvesting technology in the ASALs of Kenya Often times, this project cycle is catalyzed by the government, NGOs or external donors by funding demonstration projects. In this article I discuss the key success factors in such community water project management. The project cycle described is based on 5 phases that will be outlined below.
2.0 Project identification phase
Two main things happen during the project identification phase:-
•Need identification
•Stakeholder identification
2.1 The project need
The need for a community water project is identified by a project champion. A project champion can come from the community or from outside the community. The role of the project champion is to originate the project vision.
The project vision has the following 4 components:-
•Where are we now? How serious is the problem of water scarcity is the area?
•Where could we be if we had water? What things could we do if we had water?
•How could we solve the water problem? What facility could we install? How could we finance it?
•How can we ensure we succeed? What are the main risks and issues to be tackled? How can we overcome the risks and get the project going?
2.2 The project stakeholders
The project champion soon realizes that she/he cannot do the project alone. The project champion then seeks to involve the project stakeholders by doing the following things:-
a)Identifying the key stakeholders
In a community water project, these are likely to be the water project end-users, potential labourers, potential project administrators, the relevant government ministries, material suppliers, grant makers and collaborating partners like NGOs.
In particular the project champ should identify representatives of these stakeholders groups and convince them to push the idea together through a formal structure called the project management board (PMB).
b)Once the PMB has been agreed upon, the authority to start the project can be formalized in a document called a project charter.
c)The PMB should meet to discuss how to implement the project. This top-level plan can be formalized in a project execution plan.
d)The PMB may also agree on external consultants who can be used to do project design or supervise the construction. The sum total of all external agents and experts to be used on the project is called the project control board.
e)The project management board should also agree on the project manager who will manage the project on a day to day basis. The project board can then monitor and evaluate the performance of the project manager and report to the project stakeholders. This forms the project M & E plan.
f)The work the consultants will perform and the procedures they will use should be formalized in the project control procedure.
3.0 The project planning phase
The project planning phase is done by the project management board. The project board has to agree on the following 7 issues:-
•Why do we require a rainwater harvesting system?
•What should the system be able to do?
•How well should the system function?
•Who will be served by the system?
•Where will we source the funds to build and operate the system?
•Which methods will be used to assess the success or failure of the system?
•When will the activities agreed upon be done?
4.0 The project execution phase
The project manager is responsible for ensuring the project is implemented as planned or nearly so. The main issues the project manager looks at are:-
(i)Project time management
(ii)Project human resource management
(iii)Project cost management
iv) Project procurement management
5.0 Project closure phase
5.1 The project communication plan
The various project phases must be brought to a conclusion. Three things must be examined at the end of each phase or stage:
•The achievements of the project are assessed. What was achieved as planned? What was planned, but was never achieved? What was achieved but had not been planned?
•What lessons can be learnt from this project experience?
•How do we intend to use the lessons we learnt in future?
5.2 The project information distribution plan
The lessons learnt are distributed to the identified project stakeholders.
5.3 Project contract closure
The project is then formally closed down.
