The Proposal.
(Linoleum Cut).
Whilom 'Twere a night 'tis it t'was,
or t'was ik speketh so,
lik'th no night nevere sith,
thee jetty black sky open'd nat thy curtain wide,
to pleas'th thy marry well,
from deep inside thy well shall spring'th,
to reveal thine gentillesse light,
from'st thee'st half moon wharfing above,
how can'st thou noght feel thee solempnitte air?
thy question comen'th faste,
unexpect'd she was caught unawar's,
thee flower pedal answer'd Yay,
be'st loud as it may be,
yow rhapsodic mind went ne reeling thider,
into thou galaxies far and beyond,
O' blisful tiding's O' blisful indeed.

I have finally decided to post these photos. I made them for a proposal for--well obviously for this set. Unfortunately, I was not aware that Star Trek is a restricted IP and that Lego would not allow the proposal to go public because of course, what would be the point?
There's no point in keeping the photos and description to myself though, especially with the work that went into them. Description below:
'Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Lego starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no minifigure has gone before.'
Thrown through a spatial anomaly to a universe of modular building bricks, the crew of Starfleet's famous flagship find themselves sitting on your desk! With around 1800 parts, this UCS scaled Enterprise-D from Star Trek: The Next Generation is lovingly detailed and mounts on an elegant display stand complete with dedication plaque. But the Enterprise-D is hardly the first ship to bear her name. Display the original Constitution class Enterprise from the 1960s TV classic alongside and at the same scale.
And of course, it isn't a Galaxy class starship without a separating saucer. With the secondary display stand--mounted with a Starfleet badge and the nanofigures of the main bridge crews of both the original series and The Next Generation--you can show off both the saucer and the stardrive sections at once! The nanofigures aren't just for display; act out some of your favorite scenes or make up your own story when you remove the saucer plates to access the main bridge.
Features:
-Prepare for saucer separation: When facing a highly dangerous threat, Captain Picard decides to split the saucer off into its own ship. With the secondary stand, you can mount the saucer and display it right alongside the stardrive section. Just swap the saucer for the battle bridge attachment and you suddenly have two ships!
-Control the action yourself: Remove the panel on the saucer section and access the main bridge. With the detailed nanofigures, the bridge crew is ready for anything. Place Data at Ops, Worf at Tactical, and Picard in his Captain's chair and 'Engage' at warp 6!
-Time for a temporal anomaly: Display the Constitution class Enterprise from the original series alongside its successor. Built to the same scale and detailed with a deflector array, impulse engines, and shuttle bay doors; you can command this highly swooshable starship on its five year mission of exploration and adventure.
-Assemble the senior staff: The nanofigures inlcude The Next Generation's Captain Picard, Commander Riker, Lt. Commander La Forge, Lt. Commander Data, Lieutenant Worf, Dr. Crusher, Counselor Troi, and the original series' Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. "Bones" McCoy, Chief Engineer Scotty, Lieutenant Uhura, Lieutenant Sulu, and Ensign Chekov.
Built for play or display, these two starships are sure to be popular with all ages. Whether you are a young fan of great Lego sets, or a nostalgic collector of Star Trek memorabilia, please support this project and help us to bring the knowledge of the galaxy to everyone.

'Make it so!'
I recently learned that there are a couple of actual Marines out there who like the Space Marines idea. One of them asked me to do this... he's proposing to his girlfriend, who actually outranks him! Best of luck, Corporal Wengert! I hope she says yes (and thanks for letting me share this.)
Remember to support the Space Marines on Lego Cuusoo to see them as real Lego sets!
While touring the landscape of Chanticleer Gardens in Wayne, Pa. I noticed a couple having a lovely picnic under some shade trees. They had everything right down the the blanket and woven basket. When things took a turn for the romantic, I gave them their privacy. Hope she said 'yes'.
Tặng Tam Sến K và phu nhân^^

Kiểu cuối cùng của em Minolta "xấu"-biết thế ko đổi em Mil "đẹp":((=))
Photo taken for the Sara Lando's group "Gruppo di Supporto Fotografi Pigri" here on flickr.
This week theme was "Ring" and, in my mind, the first idea I had was a marriage proposal =)
taken in december - there are still remnants of the purplish sand that washed up during hurricane irene last fall.
I finished my shift at work and bolted for the county fair grounds, with luck today I would find myself viewing the isthmus from above. Sadly upon arriving at the grounds, I found an empty stand for the helicopter tours; while there was a trailer advertising unfortunately no copter in site. As I briskly walked back to my car, I crossed paths with a couple whom asked me if I'd gone on a helicopter ride. To their dismay I gave them the bad news; but introduced myself none the less as "Chris Collins documentary photographer of all things Madison." The man seemed slightly disappointed that the copter wasn't present to give a ride above the city, and his girlfriend the same.
I pulled out my phone in an attempt to contact the company that was offering the rides, to no avail; as I gave the number to the man and he too tried without success on his phone. We both slowly made the walk back to our cars in the warm July evening, when suddenly a whirring noise came from above. As we looked up, our frowns turned to smiles and we had the helicopter in our sites. I was determined to go first, but decided it only seemed fair to let them go as I could wait for the front seat. As two young blonde gals jumped out of the helicopter as it landed on a grassy knoll near the fairgrounds I heard one yell "two or three?!" I responded back apparently with a voice too quiet for any too hear, and the next thing I knew the three of us were boarding the chopper.
I got the front seat, and the unknowing couple got the back two seats; I appreciated it as the glass was much less obstructed from the back (perfect for aerial photos). We took off and I began snapping write away, while the pilot chatted with air traffic controllers and the happy couple. Then I heard over the headset that we had been granted permission to do a flyby of the capital building. I was rushed, cramped, and out of room for changing my lens so I ran with it. The pilot asked if I was the guy who called earlier, and apologized for not taking my call; he expressed it's hard to answer a phone when your flying. I smiled and as I started to chat back to him, he hushed me and told me that he was cutting our communication as a "proposal was in progress."
Turning around, camera not nearly as ready as I would have liked it to be; the couples smiles had turned to a few tears of joy. I was still a bit confused, but turned around and continued to take in the isthmus snapping as many photos as I could as we began our descent. A mere ten minutes after we went up, we were coming back down. Once we landed and everyone said thanks to the pilot, I excited the chopper last to find the boy and girl hugging excessively. The girl had a box in her hand which had just a bit of sparkle in it, this is when I realized that the man had proposed her hand in marriage IN THE HELICOPTER!
As they pulled out a cell phone to take a selfie, it was my turn to propose a better idea; "Would you like a better picture?" Flashing my camera towards them, I explained it would be cool to include them in the 608 strangers aspect of my photography. After jotting a quick email address down, exchanging my business card, and then official introductions. I am happy to introduce May and Will! We clicked a few pictures, as they seemed to be rushing off; I managed to get the chopper taking off in the background with the big bling in the foreground. Icing on the cake, to tell the story "picture perfect" in so many ways!
This photo op was really a great change of pace from my strangers on the square, not that I don't appreciate them but it was just something so different. Plus being part of a couples engagement (that wasn't even part of the plan) was cool too! I suggest that if you like this write-up, you should check out the 100 strangers group. It's just full of awesome individuals and even more awesome encounters!

This photo isn't staged. It's the actual proposal.
I made Courtney take several shots with me until I got the timing right. About two seconds before the camera timer went off, she thought we were just taking another vacation photo on the beach at China Cove in Point Lobos.
If you check out the large resolution, you can see the surprise on her face. (I'm very happy with the way this photo turned out.)
Arkalalah Parade
Arkansas City, KS
This fine gent entered a mini-house on a trailer sporting a "Marry Me" sign over the back porch as a float in this year's Arkalalah Parade. Manning the porch, when his float reached the appropriate place along the route, the suitor stepped off from it and invited his gal out onto Main Street USA, and popped the question. He gets 5-stars for proposal creativity, providing a proposal which she will probably not soon forget.
She said "Yes!".
On Friday 24 March, hundreds gathered in central London to protest the rolling out of a red carpet at Number 10 Downing Street for Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
يوم الجمعة 24 مارس 2023 ، تجمع المئات في وسط لندن للاحتجاج على طرح السجادة الحمراء في رقم 10 داونينج ستريت لرئيس الوزراء الإسرائيلي بنيامين نتنياهو
ביום שישי ה-24 במרץ 2023, מאות התאספו במרכז לונדון במחאה על פריצת השטיח האדום ברחוב דאונינג מספר 10 עבור ראש ממשלת ישראל, בנימין נתניהו
Israeli liberals, angry at Netanyahu's attempt to crush the independence of the judiciary and protect himself from a corruption indictment, joined Palestinian and other activists infuriated by 56 years of Apartheid, since Israel's occupation of the West Bank in 1967.
Netanyahu is still on trial for corruption in three separate cases. In 2019 he had already been officially indicted for breach of trust, accepting bribes and fraud, and, as a consequence, he lost the support of his coalition partners in parliament. However, last November, he returned to power in coalition with the ultra-orthodox and ultra nationalist factions, forming what almost commentators agree is the most right wing government Israel has witnessed since its independence in 1948.
Israel has been rocked by massive protests and strikes ever since Netanyahu's justice minister, Yariv Levin, revealed the government's plan to overhaul the country's justice system in January. Activists pointed out that its intent was clear. To weaken judicial independence and to shield Netanyahu from corruption charges.
Resistance to the government's proposals escalated even further two days after this photograph was taken when Netanyahu returned to Israel and fired his defence minister, Yoav Gallant. Within an hour tens of thousands had taken to the streets in central Jerusalem and also surrounded Netanyahu's home.
Returning to Friday morning in London when this photo was taken, protesters waiting peacefully on the pavement opposite 10 Downing Street were doubtless surprised at the huge number of police, including dogs, deployed on Whitehall. Later, and despite heavy rain, around a hundred protesters made their way to the Savoy Hotel where Netanyahu was rumoured to be staying, where the police presence was far more low key.
Many activists carried placards such as "democracy and occupation cannot coexist" and "Free Palestine = Free Israel." They pointed out that Palestinians live in what both Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have concluded is an Apartheid state, many without any access to clean water or electricity, many fearing the demolition of their homes and others the detention for lengthy periods of their relatives and children for protesting the continuing occupation. Meanwhile, Britain's ongoing military and diplomatic support for Israel make us complicit in the continued oppression of the Palestinian people.
A Sheffield man appealed via social media for dancers to take part in a flashmob dance in order to ask his girlfriend to marry him. (She said 'yes'.) A six minute dance routine set to Love Affair’s Everlasting Love, Beyonce’s Put A Ring On It, and Bruno Mars’ Marry You.

Another one from Brick Lane
Indecent Proposal is a 1993 drama film based on the novel of the same name by Jack Engelhard. It was directed by Adrian Lyne and stars Robert Redford, Demi Moore, and Woody Harrelson
High school sweethearts David (Woody Harrelson) and Diana Murphy (Demi Moore
) are a married couple who travel to Las Vegas, hoping they can win enough money to finance David's fantasy real estate project. They place their money on red in roulette and lose. After gambling away all of their savings, they encounter billionaire John Gage (Robert Redford). Gage is attracted to Diana and offers David one million dollars to spend a night with her. After a difficult night, David and Diana decide to accept the offer, and a contract is signed the next day. Gage flies Diana to a private yacht where he offers her a chance to void the deal and return to her husband if he loses a toss of his lucky coin. Gage calls it correctly and she spends the night with him.
Although he had hoped to forget the whole incident, David grows increasingly insecure about his relationship with Diana, consumed with a fear that she remains involved with Gage; this insecurity is heightened by the fact Diana discovers that Gage has bought their home/property while it was going into foreclosure. Because of this tension on their relationship, David and Diana separate. Gage actively persists and renews his advances on Diana. Although she initially resists, Diana eventually consents to spending time with him and a relationship develops. David, meanwhile, realizes he cannot go on without the love of his life. When Diana files for divorce, David makes one final attempt to win her back by signing the divorce papers and giving the million dollars away. David bares his soul as to why he allowed the night to happen. It is clearly a turning point for both of them.
Gage sees how Diana looks at David and recognizes that, even if she stayed with him, their relationship would never achieve the intensity she had with David. Later in the car with Gage, it is clear Diana has made up her mind to return to David when she says to Gage that they need to talk. Gage, realizing that she longs to return to David, makes up a story that she was only the latest in a long line of "million dollar girls". Diana realizes that Gage is doing this to make it easy for her to leave, thanks Gage and returns to David. Before she leaves, he gives her his lucky coin, which is revealed to be double sided. She returns to the pier where David proposed, only to find him there waiting. They confess their love for one another and join hands.
