Saving Tip #13 - Tips for Handling Multiple Philippine Credit Cards www.girl-kuripot.com/2013/07/saving-tip-13-tips-for-handl...
Walking tonight to the lighthouse, luckily came across these poor Guillemots. Both hooked to the same piece of fishing line - the adult had a hook in its breast and the younger one had two hooks imbedded in it - one in its breast and the other in its wing. More unfortunately the line had also become wrapped around its right wing, cutting into it, by several cms. Approaching cautiously, making comforting sounds, we managed to catch them both- I like to think they knew we were going to help them - they didn’t try to peck us. My husband managed to remove the hook gently from the adult bird and we let it go but it stayed with us while I held the younger bird and my husband worked on removing the fish hooks. This was more difficult as the line was tangled around its wing and the poor little thing was struggling. After some minutes thankfully the hooks and line were removed. After a while we place the birds in the water - the adult swam away quickly. The younger bird was caught on the waves - it bobbed about preening itself and flapping its wings. I rang the Scottish SPCA- they advised us to leave the seabird there - apparently they are very anxious birds - they said they would visit the beach in the morning. Apparently they had had several calls about guillemots in trouble in the area. They were at three dead on the beach. It was almost dark as we left - the little guillemot still bobbing about not far from the beach. Apparently they spend most of their life at sea. I hope this story has a happy ending. And thank goodness the fish hooks were almost barbless.

From the 2013 Bio-Pic "Saving Mr. Banks" (top), a home in the Heritage Square Museum in Los Angeles was the location that served as the P.L. Travers' Australian home.
The museum is located at 3800 Homer Street, Los Angeles.
Contents of our recycling bin. Doing our bit to save the environment. Desperate to get an entry in this month as time was running out. I had several ideas much better than this one but work and decorating have limited my photography this month.
A new method to prevent over-imbibing customers from annoying the servers.

In February 2009, while covering a surf rowing event at Trigg Beach, I photographed a rower from Secret Harbour SLSC who sported some interesting tattooed symbols on his back. Fast forward to July 2010, and this fella, by name of Pughey, rocks up to the studio to participate in the shoot for the "Gun's Up!" book project!
As it turns out, the symbols are the zodiac signs (horoscopes) of his family members (kids and wife). The Capricorn is his zodiac sign.
CSX ES40DC 5356 heads south past the Eugene Depot toward the Cascades to "Save a train" up on the hill. Assume a power failure of some kind needed a little more shoving to make it over the summit.
In Hindu mythology Lord Ganesha (also known as Ganapathi or Vinayaka) is notorious for his food habit. One day he ate so much of food that his tummy almost busted. He just caught a snake and tied it around his tummy as a belt to save his tummy from bursting.
On this statue you can see the snake carved around his tummy. Also he holds the goad, pasha (noose), and his broken tusk. The hand which holds modak (a kind of sweet ball) is broken and not reconstructed. This monolithic statue carved out of a huge boulder measures about 2.4 meters (8 feet). An open pavilion is build around the statue. According to inscriptions found nearby this pavilion was built by a trader from Chandragiri (in present day Andhra Pradesh)in 1506 AD, in memory of one of the Vijayanagara king – Narasimha II (1491-1505 AD)
This is located on the southern foothill of the Hemakuta Hill.

Jason Liu, Ph.D., laboratory chief at FDA’s Office of Blood Research and Review, transferring blood to 50 ml tubes as he prepared to isolate blood components. A unit of whole blood can be separated, for example, into platelets and red blood cells. The separated components can be studied separately and can be used for different patients with different needs. FDA is responsible for the safety of our nation’s blood supply and is at the forefront of evaluating and encouraging innovative technologies for protecting it.

More photos from our trip to Bridport on Sunday. This fishing boat had not survived the storm. Someone in the harbour said that the ropes may have been tied too tight so when the water rose exceptional high, it couldn't move with it
Match five: Portia Perez and "Juggernaut" Jason Axe met Claudio Castagnoli and Sara Del Rey in a mixed tag match. Axe pinned Castagnoli for the win.
My son saves all the odd money with different patterns on it so today had me take macro shots of every one
i like this one
things we do for kids hey !!!!
When I began to understand the sequence of events 13000 years ago I thought what would we do today to prevent the disaster from happening?
As it turns out not much. There is a little graph near the bottom that says no technology available for these impactors.
The initial comet that broke up was probably as big as Hale-Bopp was back in the 90s. A hundred miles in diameter.
We can't push, pull or blow up anything bigger than about a mile or so. All of these mitigation techniques require some fair amount of warning, say 6 months or so. We would be screwed depending on how much time we had to prepare.
I am sure we would figure out something.
The people of 13000 years ago probably had plenty of exciting near misses before their luck ran out.
Edit - I have been thinking about this and may have come up with a solution. It would still require some advance warning but it could perhaps deal with larger impactors.
I call it "Centripedal Sling". The idea is you would find an asteroid and spin it up so the plane of rotation would intersect with the trajectory of the incoming comet or asteroid. Meanwhile you have a large bag attached by a tether and fill it up with rocky debris from the asteroid. They will be whirling around like mad. At the proper moment you cut the tether and the two bodies will go in different directions at high speed. Timing would be everything here.
