Picked up a Nikon 105VR Macro lens... Intend to get into the garage with a pseudo studio and explore macro studio work... Yet I've been hesitant to start. Too new, lots of learn, not sure anything will come of it... But I have to break through that wall. It is those walls, breaking threw those walls, that takes us to places we never thought we'd go, where we can learn new things... Wish me luck...
Put a new pack of film in my Polaroid. I was an idiot and dropped the photo after it was done processing, and it got all linty, so this scan looks pretty awful :/

I put out a contest a couple weeks ago - The Wierd Space Contest (see marchorowitz.posterous.com/weird-space-contest ) - asking folks to come up with a solution on what to do in a very particular space. There were so many good responses! You are all genuises, which made it very tough to decide. But I do make decisions and after lots of careful consideration, lots of coffee, a little reading, and a brisk walk, I award the prize to...
Zachary Rose for his solution "A few hundred pounds of unpopped popcorn and a really big hot plate."
Step right up and claim your prize. Great job!
New contest coming up next week - stay tuned!
The road wheels are the same, just some are flipped around when you put them on the axle.
Note: I just noticed that I used a gray "reverse plate" here not the tan one as per the instructions. I didn't see the tan one when I dumped all the parts out, I thought the piece I overlooked was a regular 2x3 tile, but it was an upside down "reverse tile".
Werkzaamheden bij "de Put", de onderdoorgang Calandstraat - Vaillantlaan (Den Haag), gezien van het parkeerdek van de Megastores. Hierbij werd het oude viaduct gesloopt, waarvoor in de plaats drie nieuwe kleinere viaducten zijn gekomen (twee betonnen spoorviaducten en een stalen tramviaduct). Zo is de lichtinval beter geworden en is de onderdoorgang minder breed gemaakt door enkele kopsporen al voor het viaduct te laten eindigen (liep voorheen nog voorbij de onderdoorgang). Tevens is de constructie lichter uitgevoerd zodat de hoogte van de onderdoorgang vergroot is. Het kwam voorheen wel eens vaker voor dat een vrachtwagen klem kwam te zitten onder het viaduct.
Op 17 juli 2009 waren alle viaducten al gemaakt en in gebruik genomen. De afbouw van de onderdoorgang en de sloop van de restanten van het oude viaduct waren nog in volle gang.
Verder zie ik helemaal links op de foto nog net een kop van een Plan V treinstel.

Put my camera right down on the Sydney Pier on Vancouver Island to take this one. I did a previous shot like this with my phone for my Project365, edited with Instagram and wanted to do it again with my Canon5DMII. I think it turned out just as good, if not a little better. What do you think?
put aside the intellectual practice of investigating
words and chasing phrases, and learn to take the backward step that turns the light and shines it inward
Put and take was a game that first became known during the First World War (1914-18).
The full history of the game is unclear but It is thought to have been invented by a soldier in the trenches.
The original game was made from a brass bullet that the soldier shaped into a spinning top with six sides.
Each side had an instruction on that was either Put one, Put two, Put all, Take one ,Take Two, or Take all.
The top was spun by players, who each put an ante in the pot (said to be a cigarette), and depending on how the top fell
either took or put how many cigarettes indicated.
The game became so popular that during the 1920-30s it was introduced as a gambling Game and was predominantly played
in the North of England in Working mens clubs and pubs. Because the top would last virtually forever, being made of brass,
the production of the game did not last for long and during the next 40 years the playing of the game gradually died out.
We always play this at Christmas, and have done ever since I was a child.
Mooresville, NC - If there was ever a time to put down some dominate numbers and come away with a couple of segment victories, this was the weekend. It was the Optima "Search for the Ultimate Street Car's" first double points event of the season and it worked out very well for Kyle Tucker and his Detroit Speed 1970 Camaro Test Car at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, MI. See all the pics here goo.gl/s8eWXN
As usual, the Detroit Speed sponsored Autocross and the Wilwood Speed Stop Challenge were the first segments Saturday morning and provided lots of action whether you were participating or if you were just hanging out in the pits amongst the crowd.
Kyle and the Detroit Speed 1970 Camaro were on point from the get go, laying down times hovering in the mid to high :13's until he put down his best time on his second to last run (:13.60) which was enough to claim the top spot and 50 points for the segment victory. Not to rest on his laurels, Kyle was also pushing hard on the autocross and ended up with 2nd place and another 44 points to add to his weekend collection. Detroit Speed dealer and good friend, Billy Utley took the top spot in the autocross driving his DSE "Equipped" 1972 Chevy Nova.
The road rally took place at the end of the day and took off from the speedway and ended at the Lingenfelter Design Collection in Brighton, MI. Thanks for their hospitality, great food, and beautiful cars to look at. It was, also, 5 minutes from Kyle and Stacy's house where Detroit Speed got its start. It was pretty neat to head back and see where it all started.
Sunday was more of the same from Kyle and the DSE 1970 Camaro Test Car. The Hot Lap Challenge gave the drivers a chance to really open up their cars with a 1.9 mile inside road course at Michigan. Kyle's first run of the day would have been good enough to capture first place and the full 50 points but he ended up besting that and put down a blistering 1:23.076 a few sessions later that no one was able to come close to.
Congratulations are in order for Mr. Billy Utley. Billy topped the GTV Class and was awarded his invitation to the season ending event in Las Vegas for the 2nd year in a row! Congrats Billy! We would also like to congratulate Bryan Johnson on his podium finish in the GT class and our very own Project Foreman, Chris Porter, on his podium finish in the GTV class.
Rick Hoback, driving his C5 Corvette, had good runs on the road course on Sunday. Unfortunately, due to another commitment, he could only attend on Sunday. Thanks Rick for flying the DSE flag proudly! Rick wasn't the only one flying the flag, DSE “Equipped" cars were out in full force and ran hard all weekend. If you have been following the Optima events in person or on social media, one thing you will notice is all the "63" images and decals around. The decal is for Todd Rumpke, our friend who drives the Snoopy C6 Corvette. He is in a difficult battle right now, and at the end of the day, we are all a family out there and would do anything to support a friend and fellow driver.
Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car Michigan Highlights:
• Kyle won the Speed Stop Challenge taking the maximum 50 points during this double points weekend
• Kyle claimed the top spot during the Sunday Hot Lap Challenge
• Kyle finished a close 2nd in the Detroit Speed Sponsored Autocross, finishing just behind Billy Utley.
• Dealer and close friend, Billy Utley, clinched his invite to the season ending event in Las Vegas with a 1st overall in the GTV class in his DSE "Equipped" 1972 Nova
It was another fun weekend full of friends and racing and we eagerly await the next Optima event as it is taking place in our back yard. We look forward to seeing everyone at Charlotte Motor Speedway July 25th - 26th for the next event in the Optima "Search for the Ultimate Street Car" series.
"Put a sweater on that chicken, she's cold!" ....just ONE of the many bruises on my legs from Ash (the dog). The other day the bruise had a lil' heart in the center...
Black Moth Super Rainbow's Eating Us LP provides a great test for this new Sigma 20mm f/1.8 lens. Unfortunately, the lens falls short of my expectations for shooting wide open. Softness prevails. Stopping down helps a bit but, frankly, I need a lens I can rely on at f/1.8. I guess you do get what you pay for.
Speaking of which, the other lens I ordered used from KEH (a sexy BGN-grade Nikon 70-200) just stopped autofocusing. Looks like I'm 0 for 2 on this adventure.
put a little butter in the pan, put a banana, fried till it gets a bit brownish. Usually served with cheese and chocolate flake (no cherry, this is just a room service presentation). Again, merry christmas all!
Richmond Castle in Richmond, North Yorkshire, England, stands in a commanding position above the River Swale, close to the centre of the town of Richmond. It was originally called Riche Mount, 'the strong hill'. The castle was constructed from 1071 onwards following the Norman Conquest of England, and the Domesday Book of 1086 refers to 'a castlery' at Richmond.
In 1069 William the Conqueror had put down a rebellion at York which was followed by his "harrying of the North" – an act of ethnic cleansing which depopulated large areas for a generation or more. As a further punishment, he divided up the lands of north Yorkshire among his most loyal followers. Alan Rufus, of Brittany, received the borough of Richmond and began constructing the castle to defend against further rebellions and to establish a personal power base. His holdings, called the Honour of Richmond, covered parts of eight counties and amounted to one of the most extensive Norman estates in England. The Dukes of Brittany became the owners of the castle as Earls of Richmond though it was often confiscated for various periods by English Kings.
A 100-foot (30 m)-high keep of honey-coloured sandstone was constructed at the end of the 12th century by Duke Conan IV of Brittany. The Earldom of Richmond was seized in 1158 by Henry II of England. [a] It was King Henry II who probably completed the keep which had 11-foot (3.4 m)-thick walls. Modern visitors can climb to the top of the keep for magnificent views of the town of Richmond. At the same time that the keep was probably completed, Henry II considerably strengthened the castle by adding towers and a barbican. Henry III and King Edward I spent more money on the site including Edward's improvements to the keep interior.
In addition to the main circuit of the wall, there was the barbican in front of the main gate which functioned as a sealed entry space, allowing visitors and wagons to be checked before they gained entry to the castle itself. On the other side of the castle, overlooking the river, was another enclosure or bailey called the Cockpit, which may have functioned as a garden and was overlooked by a balcony. A drawing of 1674 suggests there was another longer balcony overlooking the river side of Scolland's Hall, the Great Hall.
Richmond Castle had fallen out of use as a fortress by the end of the 14th century and it did not receive major improvements after that date. A survey of 1538 shows it was partly in ruins, but paintings by Turner and others, together with the rise of tourism and an interest in antiquities, led to repairs to the keep in the early 19th century.
In 1855 the castle became the headquarters of the North Yorkshire Militia, and a military barracks block was constructed in the great courtyard. For two years, from 1908 to 1910, the castle was the home of Robert Baden-Powell, later founder of the Boy Scouts, while he commanded the Northern Territorial Army but the barracks building was demolished in 1931.
The castle was used during the First World War as the base of the Non-Combatant Corps made up of conscientious objectors – conscripts who refused to fight. It was also used to imprison some conscientious objectors who refused to accept army discipline and participate in the war in any way. These included the "Richmond Sixteen" who were taken to France from the castle, charged under Field Regulations, and then sentenced to death, but their death sentences were commuted to ten years' hard labour.
As presented today Richmond Castle has one of the finest examples of Norman buildings in Britain including Scollands Hall, the Great Hall of the castle. The keep has a restored roof and floors but is shown with the original 11th-century main gate arch unblocked. This arch is now in the basement of the later 12th century keep which was built in front of it, the main gate then being moved to its present position which was dominated by the adjacent keep while the original arch we see today was filled-in to secure the keep.
The castle is a Scheduled Monument, a "nationally important" historic building and archaeological site which has been given protection against unauthorised change.It is also a Grade I listed building and therefore recognised as an internationally important structure. Today the castle is in the care of English Heritage which publishes a guidebook written by John Goodall PhD FSA. English Heritage provides a visitor centre for the castle with an informative exhibition containing artefacts form the castles history, they also hold regular events there throughout the year.
According to legend, King Arthur and his knights are sleeping in a cave underneath the castle. It is said that they were once discovered by a potter named Thompson, who ran away when they began to awake. Another legend tells that a drummer boy was lost while investigating an underground tunnel, and that his ghostly drumming is sometimes heard around the castle.
Dolostone in the Silurian of Ohio, USA.
Dolostone is a common lithology in the Silurian of America's Midwest. Dolostone is a chemical sedimentary rock composed of the mineral dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2 - calcium magnesium carbonate). Dolomite and dolostone are usually gray in color and readily bubble in acid only when powdered.
The whitish-gray rocks in the upper half of the photo are the lowermost Put-in-Bay Dolomite. The light gray rocks below that, in the lower half of the photo, are the uppermost Tymochtee Dolomite (pronounced "Tie-mock").

Description of units from Herdendorf (1993):
Put-in-Bay - 10-20 feet thick. Dolomite, gray-to-drab, medium-bedded, brecciated, rough-textured, crystalline; irregular, knobby, weathered surface; exposed on South Bass Island, Green Island, and Catawba Island.
Tymochtee - 170 feet thick. Dolomite, dark, bluish-gray to brown, thin-bedded to shaly; calcareous shale partings in upper beds; containing gypsum and anhydrite; uppermost 5 meters exposed on South Bass Island, Catawba Island, and West Sister Island.
