* 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
* 2 pounds stewing beef, cut into 1-inch cubes
* 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
* 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
* 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
* 1 teaspoon sugar
* 1 large onion, sliced
* 2 bay leaves
* 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
* 12 small carrots, peeled and trimmed
* 12 small pearl onions, peeled
* 8 to 10 small new potatoes, peeled
Directions
1. On a piece of wax paper, mix together flour, salt, and pepper. Roll beef cubes in the mixture to coat. Shake off excess. In a medium Dutch oven, melt shortening over high heat. When very hot, working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, add beef and cook until brown. As each batch is finished set aside.
2. Return beef to the Dutch oven, and add 4 cups boiling water. Stand back, as it will splatter. Stir, and add lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, onion, bay leaves, and allspice. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until meat is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add carrots, onions, and potatoes, and cook until vegetables are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 45 minutes more.
*********************************************
Note: I added a little more salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce for a more flavor. This was my second time making this dish.

This picture was not meant to be.
It was supposed to be indicator where one set of images for panorama ends, and another one starts
( took the camera, turned to the floor and fired without thinking ),
and at the end, it was the most interesting picture of that day.

I had the privilege of watching a male and female Baltimore Oriole court one another, build a nest together, feed 4 youngsters and fledge them.

A diminutive diver, one of our smallest ducks, often very energetic in its feeding. Related to the goldeneyes and, like them, nests in cavities; but unlike other hole-nesting ducks, the Bufflehead is small enough to use unmodified old nest holes of Northern Flickers, giving it a ready source of good nest sites. Less sociable than most ducks, seen in pairs or small groups, almost never in large flocks. Takes wing easily from the water, flies with rapid wingbeats. The name 'Bufflehead' is derived from 'buffalo-head,' for the male's odd puffy head shape.
Thanks to all who take the time to view, comment on and favor my images. It is very much appreciated.

One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Psalm 27:4
Excerpt from www.visitwindsoressex.com/places/inukshuk-matt-beasley-an...:
Inukshuk: Matt Beasley and Paulette Hunt
Located in the Windsor City Hall Square, this sculpture was built by Paulette Hunt and Matt Beasley using large Amherstburg granite slabs, from the Amherst Quarry. The structure weighs 28 thousand pounds (12700.5 KG) and stands 14ft. (4.3 M) high.
Traditionally constructed by the Inuit, inukshuk figures are made of piled stones or boulders constructed to communicate with humans throughout the Arctic. The structures have a practical purpose acting as a helper to food cache, possible dangers, navigational aids and hunting grounds. While stone figures resembling human forms are often referred to as inuksuk, such figures are actually known as inunnguaq. This particular inunnguaq sculpture points north, where the Inuit would find a way home.
This purpose of this shot was mostly to test focusing my new Yashica T4. I also have been shooting the newest version of Kodak Gold 200. The greens may seem a little saturated, but the reality is that Seattle is super green this time of year.
What I love so much about going back to photos I have taken over the years is how they not only bring back memories, but even more so the exact feelings I had while taking them. This was more than one and a half years ago when I had just moved to Stuttgart and began studying Visual Communication. It was a time of beautiful autumn colours, new friends and feeling whole again — and it is always lovely to remember those first weeks of a new life.
The Weimaraner is a large dog that was originally bred for hunting in the early 19th century. Early Weimaraners were used by royalty for hunting large game such as boar, bear, and deer. As the popularity of large game hunting began to decline, Weimaraners were used for hunting smaller animals like fowl, rabbits, and foxes.
The Weimaraner is an all-purpose gun dog. The name comes from the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, Karl August, whose court, based in the city of Weimar (now in the state of Thuringia in modern-day Germany), enjoyed hunting.
It's candy ;)
Delicious candy, at that!
The white is bright on purpose. I wanted a decent contrast between orange-white-orange.
Taken today along with some other candy photos but those can wait.

Ivana Trump's burial at the Trump National Golf Course in Bedminster, New Jersey, has sparked discussions about its potential tax advantages. According to New Jersey law, land used for cemeteries is exempt from various taxes, including real estate, income, sales, and inheritance taxes. By designating a small portion of the golf course as a cemetery, Trump may have exploited this loophole to potentially save millions in taxes. However, experts note that the exemption applies only to land dedicated solely to cemetery purposes, and the entire golf course would not qualify for such benefits. Thus, while the burial site may offer some tax benefits, the extent of those benefits is limited and subject to legal interpretations.

A quick build multi-purpose robot. Maybe a little influenced by the "Loaders" in the Bordarlands video games. I have wanted to try those hands and head ideas for a while now. .
Dawn over the Pantheon
Reputed to be one of the most preserved and influential building of ancient Rome. It is a Roman temple dedicated to all the gods of Rome. When approaching the front of the Pantheon one can see the inscription above. It still reads in Latin as the original dedication by Marcus Agrippa. The inscription reads:
"M. AGRIPPA.L.F.COSTERTIUM.FECIT”
“Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, made [this building] when consul for the third time”.

I've been spending more and more time alone in SL. I've come full circle, back to the days when I was new. Reflecting back on the last three years, I've been more social in SL than I ever was in FL. I remember many nights, staying up until 3 am talking with people. My SL has gotten quieter and quieter as friends have moved on to new things. I'm thinking about what I should do next, which direction I should travel.
Burns have entertainment value, but also purpose.
I have a special burn barrel with the bottom cut out. This is so I can move it around and place it on top of the large clumps of invasive non-native grass that I am trying to kill which is invading my wildflower meadow. (It's too rocky here to dig these deep-rooted grasses out).
The best time to kill grass with fire is in the summer when it is putting its energy into its leaves. In dormancy the plant's energy (and biomass) is safer, down in its roots. However, there is not enough burn load with the dead grass itself to eradicate it, so I use junk mail and other paper products. This is how grass was designed--to be grazed to the ground and be able to regrow.
I will continue to work this small plot through the summer, then it will take a couple years to build the micro-organisms back up, which I will hasten with an inoculation of soil from the creek, compost, and sprays of molasses. Then hopefully the wildflowers will recolonize.
Guarding the port entrance, the Riverside Gate has found a new purpose serving the travelling merchants, sailors and adventurers. Hence, it's flourishing map-making trade has earned it the 'Vellum Gate' nickname - though the city's many enemies tend to see it as proof of a weak defense...

Finally, finally, its here! My entry for the SJ '18, medieval industry category. Collabing with TM, HQ and ZG was amazing, thank you guys! Credits to A LOT of guys, I borrowed hundreds of techniques and was inspired by so many great builders like Legopard, LJ, Gideon, ZC, [insert people I've forgotten]. Enjoy, and CC is very welcome!
The primary purpose of the Porte de Trèves (square tower measuring around 8m in length and 17m in height) is to enable access to the city.
In the year 1332, John the Blind, count of Luxembourg and La Roche, king of Bohemia and Poland, grants the City a Charter. In exchange, the city is obliged to ensure the upkeep of the city walls, which the citizens must keep guarded. In 1688, the city walls are demolished by order of the king Louis XIV, and the Porte de Trèves is converted into a prison and halfway house until the First World War.
Restoration work was carried out during the 19th century. The damage caused by the Von Rundstedt Offensive in 1944-1945 also almost destroyed the building.
To this day, the Porte de Trèves is the last remaining vestige of the fortifications that surrounded the city in the middle ages.

These are the iconic Cube Houses (Kubuswoningen) in Rotterdam. According to Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_house) they "are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level, since its main purpose is to optimise the space inside. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest. The central idea of the cube houses around the world is mainly optimizing the space, as a house, to a better distribution of the rooms inside."

'for His purpose'
"6 'I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, 7 to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.'"
{Isaiah 42:6-7}
Here is the last piece of my Guardian series! God will guide us into his mission - through his light we may see. As this young man ventures into Africa, he will be following this glorious light and bring other onto it. To find a love like no other.

MPPS - 001 is a dieselpunk exosuit made mostly from scrap parts put together masterfully by a certain mechanic.
In the post apocalyptic age, there are many evildoers (and zombies!) and human strength alone would not cut it when it came down to defending your own resources and home turf.
This exosuit was made primarily for firepower but it is also used for lifting various heavy objects and materials. It stands about 14 feet tall and weights about 2,300 lbs. It features two Gatling guns on either arm which can be turned around if melee combat is called for and to lift things as well. The forearm's side panels can be lifted up for reloading and electronics maintenance. The shoulders have reactive pistons which shift in accordance to the required movement. The pilot has two levers on either hand which act as joysticks for controlling the machine. There are some exposed tubed wiring on the elbow and at the backpack as well for hydraulic purposes. The machine is quite articulate and can do many poses as well as actions.
In this scene they happen to pass by the remains of a long forgotten mech and will get metal scraps for maintaining their truck and the exosuit as well.
Note: The suit details I mentioned are really articulated.
