Wasdale trip photo's. Plan was to camp two nights at the Wasdale head national trust campsite. Get photo's of sunset, sunrise nad night time, from various locations in this area. Two climbers can be seen climbing one of the ridges on Great Gable. I used to have a guide book with all the names of these routes, not that I did them. The most I did was the climbers traverse scramble and then threading the needle.
Two guys from facebook had an interesting talk about how they scale their platform to several hundred million users.
A few months ago I got a chance to visit my friend Jeff Rutzky and see (and photograph) some of the projects he was working on for his new book Shadowfolds, that teaches how to create intricate geometric designs with fabric. The pieces are really beautiful and surprisingly easy to make.
While the batmobile of any incarnation has always been larger then a typical car. This photo I feel shows that while they are still larger then a typical Lego set car. They are scaled more appropriately.
Inverted scales to gauge the level of water in the tanks. The fire fighting tank and mechanical system are essential in the running of a big complex. A snap with the M3 and the Nokton Classin 40/1.4 MC, Fujifilm Reala 100 is good for reds.

A droid tries to stop R2-D2 but Obiwan cut it into parts and push it against the wall using the power of the force.

You can see why they call this a "scaled" quail. He was on our backyard wall this morning. We've been seeing families of these running around—mom, dad, and 13 children.

When I was a teenager, my teachers believed that by now, the United States would be using the metric system for everything. It seems we converted partly, but stalled. Now we have an interesting blend of two systems!
Fortunately, I did study French...

Beach Lake Bakery is family-owned and operated. In the late 1990s, co-founders and owners Brian and Lisa Woods started producing artisan breads out of the garage of their home in Beach Lake, PA. Their first customers were friends, at whose houses they would drop off a few loaves, and a local fish market. With the help of their son Ian, who assisted with production and deliveries, and their daughter Jamie, whose idea it was to build and run the bakery’s small retail store, the Woodses discovered a high demand for their European-style breads and traditional American pies and cookies. They sold the business in 2007, and it moved to Honesdale, PA. It was a twist of fate, when the bakery, formerly known as Beach Lake Bread, was forced to close its doors in August, 2011, and Brian and Lisa resumed ownership. They reopened it in March, 2012, as Beach Lake Bakery, at its original location in Beach Lake.
Breakout Session: Scaling Impact Enterprises
Creating energy from landfills, connecting women-led coffee cooperatives with international buyers, verifying medications by mobile phone. The audacious ideas of social entrepreneurs can change the world, but critical barriers often inhibit these ideas from getting off the ground. While social entrepreneurs confront challenges typical for most entrepreneurs—such as access to capital, markets, and talent—by virtue of their business model they face added obstacles. Already expected to deliver on ambitious social and environmental returns in addition to financial returns, they also contend with greater institutional investor skepticism and appeasing a wider array of stakeholders. Social enterprises have nonetheless experienced significant growth, with traditional and impact investors committing more than $10 billion to these companies over the last four years—tripling their investments.
In this session, successful social entrepreneurs from around the world will share challenges from their work, as well as opportunities they see to achieve greater impact by scaling impact enterprises. Leaders from the private, public, and civil society sectors will also discuss how CGI members can:
• Design innovative approaches for impact enterprise talent recruitment, development, and retention.
• Define, measure, and communicate the social and environmental impact of social enterprises.
• Incorporate impact enterprises into their supply chains.
• Scale programs that support women and minority-owned enterprises.
