A properly built sandbag wall can prevent or reduce flood damage. The County is providing pre-filled, UV protected sandbags during the months of May and June to support residents in preparing for possible flooding. The pre-filled bags will be available at the Silver Saddle Trading Post located at 9001 N. Highway 89. Please be reasonable as to the number of bags you take for use. Residents will need to load their own bags. Please do not leave old sand bags at the site. After June 30, the site will have piles of sand and loose sand bags for use by residents. Properly filling and constructing a sand bag wall is important. Please visit www.coconino.az.gov/schultzfloodinformation.aspx for detailed instructions and to view a video.
The Finnieston Crane - more properly, the Stobcross Crane - is a giant cantilever crane which entered service in 1932, and was used for loading heavy goods (i.e. steam locomotives) onto cargo ships for worldwide export.
Two companies were involved in the majority of its construction - the tower section was built by Cowans, Sheldon & Company, and the cantilever (lifting arm) was built by the Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company.
It stands 175 feet tall, and whilst it was in operation, it had a maximum lifting capacity of 175 tonnes.
It fell into disuse in the early 1990s, but was retained as a symbol of Glasgow's industrial heritage - manufacturing for export, shipbuilding, and ship-borne trade on the River Clyde.
This shot was made by taking five shots in portrait orientation using my Sigma 120-400mm lens, shooting at 120mm and at f/8 aperture. I used the excellent freeware tool Hugin to stitch the five shots together.
Be sure to zoom in and check the steelwork!
I met Kiki last week, but I was drunk. Today I met her sober, and then got drunk in her company. She's a great cat!

Meet Henry Lee, named after the song by Nick Cave. She's a TBL Ahcahcum Zukin knock off and I absolutely ador her!
Started with a properly exposed print, dark blue is better, but a really good exposed print is key or you end up with a totally brown piece of paper.
Bleached with baking soda 1/3 cup to 1 liter water (won't all dissolve just stir as much as you can in)
Bleached until completely yellow
Rinse well at least 5 min
then soaked overnight in green tea (foojoys 10 bags to pot of water let brew for 20 min
Put print in tea facedown try to give it a rock every couple hours (or more)
Should look brown in 12 ish hours.
At first the print may seem a bit purple, but in a few days it will be a perfect sepia.
Sometimes it's more of a purple brown, I think in that case, more bleaching is necessary.
I use Rives BFK Heavyweight.
Properly called Sinningia speciosa. This one is almost black and is blooming in Mother's kitchen. As you can see, these big velvety blooms are purple and mottled in the centre and have a white border. Always one of my favourite flowers.
This variety is Kaiser Wilhelm. The red one, Kaiser Friedrich, is just as good.
Exeter Cathedral, properly known as the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter in Exeter, is an Anglican cathedral, and the seat of the Bishop of Exeter, in the city of Exeter, Devon, in South West England. The present building was complete by about 1400, and has several notable features, including an early set of misericords, an astronomical clock and the longest uninterrupted vaulted ceiling in England.
The founding of the cathedral at Exeter, dedicated to Saint Peter, dates from 1050, when the seat of the bishop of Devon and Cornwall was transferred from Crediton because of a fear of sea-raids. A Saxon minster already existing within the town (and dedicated to Saint Mary and Saint Peter) was used by Leofric as his seat, but services were often held out of doors, close to the site of the present cathedral building.
In 1107 William Warelwast was appointed to the see, and this was the catalyst for the building of a new cathedral in the Norman style. Its official foundation was in 1133, during Warelwast's time, but it took many more years to complete. Following the appointment of Walter Bronescombe as bishop in 1258, the building was already recognised as outmoded, and it was rebuilt in the Decorated Gothic style, following the example of Salisbury. However, much of the Norman building was kept, including the two massive square towers and part of the walls. It was constructed entirely of local stone, including Purbeck Marble. The new cathedral was complete by about 1400, apart from the addition of the chapter house and chantry chapels.
During the Second World War, Exeter was one of the targets of a German air offensive against British cities of cultural and historical importance, which became known as the "Baedeker Blitz". On 4 May 1942 an early-morning air raid took place over Exeter. The cathedral sustained a direct hit by a large high-explosive bomb on the chapel of St James, completely demolishing it. The muniment room above, three bays of the aisle and two flying buttresses were also destroyed in the blast. The medieval wooden screen opposite the chapel was smashed into many pieces by the blast, but it has been reconstructed and restored. Many of the cathedral's most important artefacts, such as the ancient glass (including the great east window), the misericords, the bishop's throne, the Exeter Book, the ancient charters (of King Athelstan and Edward the Confessor) and other precious documents from the library had been removed in anticipation of such an attack. The precious effigy of Walter Branscombe had been protected by sand bags. Subsequent repairs and the clearance of the area around the western end of the building uncovered portions of earlier structures, including remains of the Roman city and of the original Norman cathedral.

Fairly plain and difficult to see properly externally as it is crammed in to the old town, St James' is stunning inside.
Built in 1820 it is sometimes referred to as Georgian but is better termed Strawberry Hill Gothic.
The columns are of pine brought from Newfoundland and were originally plastered (therefore I think they should still be so).
Notable are the gallery, the carved mahogany mobile font and the Union flag in the photo which was the first British flag to be raised in liberated Paris in WWll.

A Saxon minster already existing within the town (and dedicated to Saint Mary and Saint Peter) was used by Leofric as his seat, but services were often held out of doors, close to the site of the present cathedral building. Notable features of the interior include the misericords, the minstrels' gallery, the astronomical clock and the organ. Notable architectural features of the interior include the multiribbed ceiling and the compound piers in the nave arcade. The 18-metre-high bishop's throne in the choir was made from Devon oak between 1312 and 1316; the nearby choir stalls were made by George Gilbert Scott in the 1870s. The Great East Window contains much 14th-century glass, and there are over 400 ceiling bosses, one of which depicts the murder of Thomas Becket. The bosses can be seen at the peak of the vaulted ceiling, joining the ribs together. Because there is no centre tower, Exeter Cathedral has the longest uninterrupted medieval vaulted ceiling in the world, at about 96 m
Properly named Spiced Pumpkin Cheesecake with Candied Pepitas but I prefer to call it Dinosaur Cheesecake based on its resemblance to the prehistoric creature. The "fins"and "scales" are pieces of candied pepitas (pumpkin seeds) that I mounted on a whiskey whipped cream filled crack down the centre of the cake.
The cheesecake is creamy and luscious just as the recipe promised with a good balance of pumpkin sweetness and warm spices. I serve it with clouds of whiskey brown sugar spiced whipped cream (not pictured).
Recipe originally published in Cook's Illustrated Magazine November 2003 issue. Read more at Dessert By Candy.

it's been some time since i properly shaved my thighs. but, what;s the point ? i wonder, i mean nobody ever sees them, or feels them. but, i did shave them today for me and the new bathing suit i bought.
some days i miss my body before i had kids or a long term relationship. when my waist was more visible and my breasts were were relatively the same cup size. but, i am no longer a younger twenty something. i am actually a vibrant thirty-five year old mother of five. my hips are wider and my thighs are softer. my breasts are larger and from nursing babies they have succumbed to gravity. my abs are somewhere underneath a cumulus cloud of soft flesh and small smile lines dance around my eyes.
but this is who i am right now. a woman learning to lover herself.

This is a photograph from a large set of photographs from the SSE Airtricity Dublin Half Marathon 2016 which was held in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland on Saturday September 24th 2016 at 10:00. This half marathon is the final race in the SSE Airtricity Dublin Race Series which sees four races organised over the summer months in preparation for the Dublin City Marathon in October. This half marathon is one of the largest mass participation sporting events in Ireland and is by far the largest individual half marathon race in Ireland. Almost 9,000 participants took part in the race today which is ran almost entirely in the Phoenix Park. To help with congestion on the race course the race starts in three separate waves which allows faster runners start first. The weather was cool and dry with just a little breeze. The next challenge or race for those taking part today is the Dublin City Marathon at the end of October 2016
.

Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.
In summary please remember when requesting photographs from us - If you are using the photographs online all we ask is for you to provide a link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. You will find the link above clearly outlined in the description text which accompanies this photograph.

Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Properly trimming and desensitizing your dog's nails can be a daunting task. But with the right tools and techniques, it can be an easy and stress-free process for both you and your pet.

The Archibald Fountain, properly called the J. F. Archibald Memorial Fountain, widely regarded as the finest public fountain in Australia, is located in Hyde Park, in central Sydney, New South Wales.
It is named after J. F. Archibald, owner and editor of The Bulletin magazine, who bequeathed funds to have it built. Archibald specified that it must be designed by a French artist, both because of his great love of French culture and to commemorate the association of Australia and France in World War I. He wished Sydney to aspire to Parisian civic design and ornamentation. The artist chosen was François-Léon Sicard.
Sicard was one of the foremost sculptors of his day, a classically educated artist, whose inspiration was derived, at least in part, from his study of classical Greek and Roman art and literature. In submitting his proposal for the design of the sculptural groups, Sicard wrote: "Apollo represents the Arts (Beauty and Light). Apollo holds out his right arm as a sign of protection, and spreads his benefits over all Nature, whilst he holds the Lyre in his left hand. Apollo is the warmth which vivifies, giving life to all Nature. At the touch of his rays, men awake, trees and fields become green, the animals go out into the fields, and men go to work at dawn.
"The ancient Pliny adored the sun, symbol of Life. It is on this account that I wished this figure to be the chief one in the memorial.
"At Apollo's feet the star of day is indicated by a semicircle, of which the rays spread out in jets of light (the rising sun). The horses' heads represent the horses of Apollo's chariot. Out of their nostrils the water will fall into the first basin, to fall from there into the second, and run away into the large basin.
"The large basin is divided into three groups. One represents Diana, goddess of purity, of peaceful nights, symbol of charity; the ideal which watches over mortals - all that stands for poetry and harmony. The second group symbolises the good things of the earth - it is the young god of the fields and pastures, of the pleasure of the countryside. The third group represents sacrifice for the public good. Theseus, vanquisher of the Minotaur. The spirit triumphs over bestiality. Theseus delivers his country from the ransom which it had to pay to this monster. It is the sacrifice of himself for the good of humanity. Between these groups tortoises throw jets of water. The fountain is electrically illuminated and floodlighted at night.
"It depicts Apollo, representing beauty and the arts, on a central column holding out his right arm as a sign of protection over all nature. On the three plinths radiating from the central column there are figures representing Diana, the goddess of purity; a group representing the good things of the earth; Theseus slaying a Minotaur, representing the sacrifice for the good of humanity."
The fountain was unveiled on 14 March 1932
Hyde Park, the oldest public parkland in Australia, is a 16.2-hectare (40 acres) park in the central business district of Sydney, New South Wales.
Hyde Park is on the eastern side of the Sydney city centre. It is the southernmost of a chain of parkland that extends north to the shore of Sydney Harbour via The Domain and Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens. Hyde Park is approximately rectangular in shape, being squared at the southern end and rounded at the northern end.
The centrepiece of Hyde Park is the Archibald Fountain. The fountain was designed by François-Léon Sicard and donated by J.F. Archibald in 1932 in honour of Australia's contribution to World War I in France. Also at the northern end are the Nagoya Gardens featuring a giant outdoor chess set and the entrance to the underground St James railway station.

I will properly psychedelicise this tomorrow, and do it in colour, and make it as gloriously colourful and amazing and swirly and psychedelic as his music is, but for now, this is just a sneak peak of how it's going to turn out.
I just love his shy, hesitant smile so much, this big solemn eyes and this mouth that just can't help breaking into a massive grin. I've never seen a man who looks so much like his music, he is a giant walking paisley basically.

Construction of this viaduct began in 1894 but did not get underway properly until 1910, so 2010 is it's commissioning centenary. It doesn't look as though anyone cares much about this bridge anymore and it is being allowed to decay into a rusty wreck. It was originally painted blue I understand from pictures in the Skukuza Restaurant.
The bridge was built for the Selati Line and was completed in 1912 though construction of the rail line, from Komatipoort to the Transvaal Gold Fields on the Selati River, began in the early 1890's. The line from Komatipoort, on the Mozambique border covers 80 kilometers to Skukuza. It was built by the Belgian Oppenheimer Brothers. With little gold being found the line ended at Skukuza without the bridge being completed and the company went into liquidation in 1894 owing almost one million Rand. With the Boer War intervening construction of the bridge did no began again until 1909.
According to local guides I understand that the line was mostly used for mineral and fruit transportation in it's later years.

Dale Hollow 3d Anaglyph-Red Cyan Glasses Required To View Properly!Shot taken with Sony Bloggie 3d camera,processed with software.
Properly chastised, I admit my mistake: bitter melon - though I would say, in my defense that I had to search 15 pages of green melon photos to find this!
I took this photo a bit ago and hadn't properly gone through the motions of developing it like I normally do. I've had previous dealings with taking portraits of friends and relative, but never gave an animal the same treatment, until now. She is Frankee Frankenmeyer, and while she goes by many nicknames she's arguably the best dog I've had in a while. She is part Dachshund, part Chihuahua, and part....umm something else. We really don't know much about Frank other than she was named "Spice" and when we picked her up she was 4. Now 9, she's still got the vim and vigor to chase our cats, hump them for dominance, take dog laps around our house, and chew through several pig ears in a single bound. She's our "dawgter", our "brown angel", and a loving cuddle bug.

Theseus delivers his country from the ransom which it had to pay to this monster. It is the sacrifice of himself for the good of humanity. Between these groups tortoises throw jets of water. The fountain is electrically illuminated and floodlighted at night.
"It depicts Apollo, representing beauty and the arts, on a central column holding out his right arm as a sign of protection over all nature. On the three plinths radiating from the central column there are figures representing Diana, the goddess of purity; a group representing the good things of the earth; Theseus slaying a Minotaur, representing the sacrifice for the good of humanity."
The fountain was unveiled on 14 March 1932
Hyde Park, the oldest public parkland in Australia, is a 16.2-hectare (40 acres) park in the central business district of Sydney, New South Wales.
Hyde Park is on the eastern side of the Sydney city centre. It is the southernmost of a chain of parkland that extends north to the shore of Sydney Harbour via The Domain and Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens. Hyde Park is approximately rectangular in shape, being squared at the southern end and rounded at the northern end.
The centrepiece of Hyde Park is the Archibald Fountain. The fountain was designed by François-Léon Sicard and donated by J.F. Archibald in 1932 in honour of Australia's contribution to World War I in France. Also at the northern end are the Nagoya Gardens featuring a giant outdoor chess set and the entrance to the underground St James railway station.

The Finnieston Crane - more properly, the Stobcross Crane - is a giant cantilever crane which entered service in 1932, and was used for loading heavy goods (i.e. steam locomotives) onto cargo ships for worldwide export.
Two companies were involved in the majority of its construction - the tower section was built by Cowans, Sheldon & Company, and the cantilever (lifting arm) was built by the Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company.
It stands 175 feet tall, and whilst it was in operation, it had a maximum lifting capacity of 175 tonnes.
It fell into disuse in the early 1990s, but was retained as a symbol of Glasgow's industrial heritage - manufacturing for export, shipbuilding, and ship-borne trade on the River Clyde.
The area it stood in has since been redeveloped; it is now surrounded by the various buildings of the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, and the various hotels and restaurants that have been built to service the SECC. You can see the SEC Armadillo on the left, the main SECC hall just to the right of that, and behind the crane is the SSE Hydro, one of the main venues for popular music in the country.
This shot was made by taking four shots in portrait orientation using my Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, shooting at 50mm and at f/8 aperture. I used the excellent freeware tool Hugin to stitch the four shots together.
