Met 3FM Serious Request 2015 zetten we ons dit jaar in voor kinderen en jongeren
in oorlogs- en conflictgebieden: deze generatie leeft onder de meest extreme omstandigheden en heeft daardoor weinig kans op scholing en ontwikkeling. Zij zijn de stille slachtoffers van de oorlog.
17 years ago today, my sister rolled down the aisle of our church as my bridesmaid. A little over a year ago, she unexpectedly passed away. Tomorrow, my father will be completing a 5k in her memory as well as 3 others. Please consider making a pledge today sponsoring my father that will benefit the Spina Bifida Association of Illinois. Even just a $5 pledge would be very much appreciated.
Click here for the brochure about the event, the association and those it's honoring. Click here to make a pledge as well as see a cute picture of my parents.
Thank you for listening.

The request from her daughter-in-law was for a cake for a young 70 year old - then the request from her husband and son was a woman sitting with a cup of coffee and a fag! They loved it - hope she did!
Inspired by Lorraine McKay's tutorial. Thanks Lorraine!
Picture request by spencerngo
except he never picked what kind of gauge to see so I just picked my tunnels.
Yeah, I actually have two gauges.
I saw this one girl on Tumblr who`s ear was kind of like this. After that, my goal was to make it similar. I`m still waiting to get some time so I can get a double cartilage right under that flower one.
Started the big 4g one (purple/pink tunnels) in late December, and the 10g one (black plugs) about two weeks ago.
Sometimes I feel like people are judging me based off my piercings... I like piercings, as you saw from my fake lip ring one.
I see nothing wrong with them. The thing is you can always take them out.

The request was for a masquerade cake in the colours pink, purple, black and silver, with the cake being purple. The rest was left up to me!
Believe it or not, there is no person turning 40 who will be celebrating with this cake. In fact I doubt the candles will even be lit! The customer ordered this for her daughter, who is studying Event Management. She is involved in a group assignment, where they have to set up a 40th birthday party in a masquerade theme, right down to the cake! I suggested a dummy cake, but I think they were quite happy to have an excuse to eat cake!!! I'm hoping they might share some photos with me afterwards of their 'set-up'!
I had tonnes of fun with this cake, but learnt that I hate working with vibrant colours! My mask started off MUCH brighter, but because I had to make it a week in advance, it started to fade! :-(
I sought inspiration from a few cakes I found on Flickr, as well as from my Venetian mask collection. It was also my first time quilting. I was pretty happy with how it turned out!
Special thanks to Nicole who helped me out with tips after making this great masked cake! www.flickr.com/photos/try-tias-blog/4310748517/
As requested by dead_squid, a photo of the 'Bomb the Blogosphere' tee-shirt. As 'documented' [har har] on Twitter, it tends to get me way too many hilarious looks whenever I wear it.
Thank you, Questionable Content!

We celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied and multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.

As requested by some flickr members and some members of the MFLenses forum: here are some real life samples made with the Samyang produced Vivitar 17-28mm f/4-4.5 "wide angle zoom".
So, what about it? First of all let's bear in mind that this is a low-budget, old manual zoomlens. Manufactured for Vivitar in most used mounts at that time. Mine is a Minolta MD version and it looks near mint. A more thorough inspection revealed some minor haze inside, which has not been cleaned for these testshots. So eventually (if i get any time for cleaning it....) results could possible be a tad better.
It's not a bad lens. But it's nothing special either. For a city-walk it could be a very useful "one lens" solution, as 17 is nice and wide and 28mm makes a very normal wide angle. Even on APS-C one can say this is a useful range.
Take a look at the vignetting on the right side corners, they're worse than the left side. On crop this wouldn't be a problem.
Sharpness is OK i'd say, again: nothing special here, but for what it is it's good. I must add that you really need the focusing aid and the magnification button to get it right! I wouldn't want to focus this one without any digital aids!
SO: if you like old glass and love to experiment a bit with them and one of these crosses your path i'd say take it.
If you're looking for a cheap 17mm-ish wide angle solution: find one. Because i'm sure you'll get these cheaper than the more common Tokina 3.5/17! (which is a great lens)

The Small Diamond Crown of Queen Victoria is a miniature imperial and state crown made at the request of Queen Victoria in 1870 to wear over her widow's cap following the death of her husband, Prince Albert. It was perhaps the crown most associated with the queen and is one of the Crown Jewels on public display in the Jewel House at the Tower of London
Background
Following the death of Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Victoria's husband, in 1861, Queen Victoria withdrew from public life and wore a black and white ensemble colloquially known as widow's weeds, which she continued to wear until her death in 1901. Under government pressure she came back into public view in 1870. However, she declined to wear her Imperial State Crown again, partly because she found it heavy and uncomfortable to wear, and partly because it would have been impossible to wear on top of her widow's cap. The new small crown was created as a substitute, meeting both the ceremonial duties of a monarch and her own desired form of dress as a widow. It was manufactured in March 1870 by the Crown Jewellers, Garrard & Co.
Design
Although diminutive, the silver crown follows the standard design for British crowns. It is made up of two arches joining at a monde surmounted by a cross. Each of the arches runs from a cross pattée along the rim of the base. Between each cross pattée is a fleur-de-lis. Because of its small size – 9 cm (4 in) across and 10 cm (4 in) high – the crown possesses no internal cap. It contains 1,162 brilliant and 138 rose-cut diamonds weighing 132 carats (26 g) that were taken from a large necklace belonging to the queen. However the Royal Collections pages state that the crown contains 1,187 stones. Unlike coloured gemstones, diamonds were seen as acceptable to wear in mourning. The crown weighs 160 g (6 oz) in total.
Usage
Queen Victoria first used her new crown at the State Opening of Parliament on 9 February 1871. She often wore it minus the arches as a circlet or open crown.
After Victoria
The crown had belonged to Queen Victoria personally rather than to the Crown and thus was not a part of the Crown Jewels. Victoria left it to the Crown in her will. It was subsequently worn on occasions by the queen consort, Alexandra of Denmark (1901–10) and after her by the next queen consort, Mary of Teck (1910–36). After the death of Mary's husband, George V, she stopped wearing the crown. When the new queen consort, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, decided not to wear the small diamond crown, it was deposited by the Queen Victoria's great-grandson, George VI, in the Jewel House at the Tower of London, where it remains on public display.

. Verdugo Village Celebration – Saturday, 11:00am on the corner of York Blvd. and Verdugo Road
Alright neighbors, this is it. Your attendance at this event is requested. I don’t ask for much, but over the years that I’ve been doing neighborhood watches and these updates, where we live and what we call this area has always been a subject of debate. So I hope this effort helps to clarify and not further complicate the matter. We feel that we’ve brought something special to our area that we can all be proud of.
Please, come out and spend 30 minutes to celebrate this event with us.
Helene
The Verdugo Village project was two years in the making. It began when several people in the GPIA’s land use committee took an active interest in the history of Glassell Park. Initially we were looking at the cultural and architectural elements that would support the efforts of Survey LA. In our research we found the significance of Verdugo Road made for a compelling story. Thanks to the support of the GPIA and Councilmember Huizar, we’re able to celebrate the designation of Verdugo Village and bring a piece of that history to life. This is a first of its kind in Glassell Park and we hope it inspires others to continue highlighting our history and bringing pride to our community.
Here’s a little background on Verdugo Road:
Verdugo Village is a two-block stretch of Verdugo Road between Wawona on the north end and Filion/Delevan on the south, near the Verdugo off ramp of the Glendale Freeway.
This area was once a part of the 36,403.32-acre Rancho San Rafael, granted in 1784 to Spanish army corporal José MarÃa Verdugo. Rancho San Rafael, named for Saint Raphael, the guardian angel of humanity, was one of the first Spanish land grants in California. Verdugo began farming the more fertile regions of the land and irrigated a good amount of acreage by digging zanjas from the Arroyo Seco and the Los Angeles River. Rancho San Rafael was referred to by the early Spanish as Rancho La Zanja, Ranch of the Ditch. It was Verdugo who was credited for bringing the first grapevines to the area.
Verdugo Road was once the major transportation corridor from the mountains to downtown Los Angeles. It was the historic road of trade between the Verdugo Rancho and the fledging Pueblo of Los Angeles.
Verdugo Village was established in the early 1920’s in the historic tract known as Sagamore Park. It’s made up of multi-family and single family homes in one and two story structures. Most of the ground floor commercial and retail businesses are independently owned and operated. The variety of goods and services in this area includes restaurants, dry cleaners, auto service and dentistry. Its proportions are a comfortable human scale with sidewalks wide enough to encourage pedestrian traffic. This is enhanced by the original streetlights that illuminate the pedestrian area.
To establish this area as Verdugo Village will preserve its history as well as support its revitalization. The new signage will mark the history, help as a traffic calming measure, and contribute to a sense of community pride.

I had a request for something from a friend on Facebook ....... Something recovery or uplifting from the horror of the destruction of the Moorse Tornado in Oklahoma ......... Sadly the truth is I did not see any uplifting rescues ....... Well at least I saw no people rescued alive from the wreckage ............ but I did see this little dog immediately after she was pulled out of a cupboard under the wreckage of a house ....... but alive and well having been buried for over 24 hours .......... here above ...... Her owner Tracey Stephan is just bringing her out from the rubble ....... Tracey was so happy to have her little dog back .......... And the little dog seemed a tiny bit scared and shakey but otherwise completely fine ........... Oh....... and the little dogs name ??????? ........ Pheonix of course !!!!!!! Almost literally rising from the ashes and living up to her name :-)))))) ......... But thats it Im afraid [Steve](photo-dialogue.com) ........ my only specifically good news picture from all that terrible devastation ...... :-(((((((( ............ :-)))))))))

I know, when I ask for a 'By Request' and Lino suggests a car, that its going to be a bit weird. Freakish even.
For LUGNuts 120th Build Challenge - the 10th anniversary of the group, that the outcome was unlikely to be any different from previous suggestions. That the car was even called 'Freakshow', was pretty much going to seal its fate.
Anyway, here goes.....
I don't think I would be able to explain it any better myself, so I take the text quoted directly from 'CustomRodder' forum:
customrodder.forumactif.org/t1809-1964-chevy-pick-up-frea...
Freakshow has our noodle in a bind. There's not much left of the original '64 Chevy C-10, but it definitely says "1964 Chevy Pickup" on the placard. By all rights it should be the absolute baddest truck/car in the show hands down with a blown 354 cubic inch hemi, six Stromberg 97 carbs, the sickest custom headers we've ever seen all running through a four speed Muncie to a 9 inch Ford rear with 4:11 gears. It has a beer keg and an in-cabin tap coming out a skull mounted under a gun rack. And yet here we are torn - the car is pink, with white fur everywhere, and has a pink telephone on the dash. What. The. Hell?
Yes, we know, it doesn't look like any 1964C-10 we've ever seen either, that's because it's sporting a '61 Chrysler nose and a '57 Chrysler tail along with an incredibly schizophrenic paint scheme. But still, we circle back to this brutal dichotomy of total dominating badassity spitting in the face of convention. Sitting amidst this sea of flat black and rusty hot rods is a cotton candy monster waiting to eat your lunch, but it is nigh on invisible due to its fluffy persona. If Clint Eastwood dressed up like a lady and drove this car around, the world would end, of this we are certain.
Bill Bierman of the Creative Customs Chop Shop, maker of Freakshow, seen here and above and described by Iowahawk as “a pink flaked, green flamed pickup with an 8 duece blown Hemi, refridgerated full keg with console mounted beer tap, rifle rack with matching pink machine gun, and can full of angel fur.
So, there you go.
This Lego miniland-scale 'Bill Bierman's Freakshow', has been created for Flickr LUGNuts 120th Build Challenge - 'Happy 10th Anniversary, LUGNuts', - where all the previous challenge themes are open for use in creating builds for the Challenge.
'Freakshow' is a 'By Request', provided by LUGNuts' founder and admin, Lino Martins.
You probably haven't heard of Bitter, but they do make some truly excellent machines. Comparable with the likes of Bristol here in the UK, Bitter is a German/Austrian premium car manufacturer that creates luxury sports-cars on request. Founded in 1971 by Erich Bitter, the company specializes in rebodying other manufacturer's vehicles and its initial production was between 1973 and 1989, selling vehicles in Europe and the United States. Thereafter, several prototypes followed with an eye on resuming low-volume production, but none of those plans came to fruition until the launch of the Bitter Vero in 2007.
The Bitter CD, a three-door hatchback coupe featuring a 227hp Chevrolet V8 with a 327ci displacement, was built between 1973-1979.
The CD was first shown in prototype form on 9th September, 1969, at the Frankfurt Auto Show, as the Opel Coupé Diplomat ("CD") derived from the sedan version. It was designed by Charles M. "Chuck" Jordan (Opel's Design boss between 1967-1971 and later vice-president of General Motors (GM)) with the assistance of George A. Gallion, David Holls, Herbert Killmer and Hideo Kodama, as well as Erhard Fast (Director of the Opel Designstudios 3 for Advanced Design from 1964). The tail was inspired on a proposal by Erhard Fast's for the 1969 Opel Aero GT.
Thanks to the positive reaction to the CD prototype, Opel considered developing a production models. The doors would adopt a conventional opening system and the bumper bar, windshield wipers and other parts would be derived from the Opel Diplomat in order to facilitate production and maintain costs. Robert "Bob" Lutz, who was the Head of Opel at the time and was keen to produce the car, commissioned Pietro Frua to advance the concept and produce two road-going prototypes.
In 1971, it was David R. "Dave" Holls (Opel design boss since 1971; previously assistant to Charles M. "Chuck" Jordan) who encouraged Erich Bitter to build the Bitter CD. As a result, Bitter GMBH was formed in 1971 to market the CD. He based his company on a 1-acre (4,000 m2) site in his home town of Schwelm, Germany.
However, because he did not have the necessary capital and other resources to set up his own production facilities, Bitter turned to Baur GMBH in Stuttgart, as a proven independent small-scale manufacturer. He selected them given their ability to produce high-quality prototypes and limited production cars for other German manufacturers.
Bitter based his original CD designs on those of Frua, before making alterations closer to production. The basic design changes to Frua's CD design vis-Ã -vis the 1969 Opel CD consisted of a truncated read end, modified windshield and less chrome application. Dave Holls and Opel's design team supplemented the design with a small front spoiler, larger grille, higher bumper bars and by prolonging upwards the lower edge of the rear side windows across the C pillar to the rear hatch. Final prototype testing was conducted at the Opel Test Facility in Duden, in addition to load duration tests by Bitter at the Hydropulseur facility of Baur.
The Baur team also engaged in significant constructive and production development work, which included manufacturing a hard foam mockup. Their role then extended to manufacturing the CD's body panels, assembling the shell, interior fitting and trimming as well as installing the Opel Diplomat's mechanicals.
The Bitter CD was displayed, with great success, at the 1973 Frankfurt Motor Show, where Erich Bitter took 176 orders for his stylish new coupe. However, the oil crisis at the time led to the cancellation of most orders. Despite this, production commenced late the same year at Baur GMBH. The target of 200 units/year was never realised and, in total, Bitter sold 395 units. Purchase price in 1974 was 58,400DM.

This bird is nesting in Lava rock and glassy sharp broken pieces of Obsidian.
The obsidian on this mountain was so sharp it cut in to my shoe bottoms, and yet this bird was nesting comfortably in it. In addition the black rocks were uncomfortably hot in the mid summer heat.
The bird was so well camoflauged that I nearly stepped on to it.
Observed near Tule Lake, California, near the top of Glass mountain.

The main building at Old Heath station on the Mangapps Railway was once at Laxfield on the Mid Suffolk then used as a Football pavilion at Bedfield before ending up here.Like most stations on the National Network it is unstaffed and you pay on the Train.Going towards Mangapps is a 1 in 40 gradient so lots of noise and thrash!

An odd request I received from a freind at school. He wanted me to make him, and I quote, "A swan in a boat with rockets." I have no clue as to where he got the idea...
