Another silent installation I accidentally got to see on my notebook. Thank you my friends @Skype for pushing un-solicited changes on my machine, without letting me know your at it neither before or after... ... As usual the new and "better" software introduced some new bugs as well, ones I've never seen. I guess its protocol obfuscation code running haywire, but whether this was ment as possible fix at skype login/central server protocol, a bid to introduce more complicated protocol after the supposed success at reverse-engineering or a new way to push more annoy-ware towards users I really dont know..
For the QA folks - open multi-chat, click on call quality wizard indicator, close the dialog, close the chat -> you should get the pointer pop-up and any other dialog seems to cause the other issue from there onwards, ending with GPF in a while. Update was from .113 to .116.
Edit (2hrs after original post): the bug is actually old one, reported few weeks ago, just manifested itself in with new dialogs today - if you are in QA team you'll find it at 23rd May - whenever you close the CallQualityIndicator/Wizard dialog with Esc rather than clicking the proprietary UI 'close' control the dialog/components are not killed nicely and crap starts to happen. Thats what you get when you re-write standard OS UI controls in random place of your app...
It was a beautiful still night on the beach tonight, only the sound of the waves lapping gently against the shore. Oh...and my dog...barking...insistently...wanting her football kicked so she could give chase.

Nurse from Silent Hill 2. These were some of the toughest enemies in the series; able to take alot of damage and dish it out at the same time. They were definitely one of the coolest monsters though; they twitched and screamed as they hunted you down. In Silent Hill 3, they even carried guns! :o
One of the classic Christmas Carols that I love singing is Silent Night. And as you may have already guessed, the phrase on the image is part of the lyrics. It’s one of the images that I took while browsing through the Christmas decor store. It was fun shooting those ornaments and looking for displays that depict the real spirit of Christmas. I hope that you all had a meaningful Christmas!
History of the Silent Night Hymn
In 1818, a roving band of actors was performing in towns throughout the Austrian Alps. On December 23 they arrived at Oberndorf, a village near Salzburg where they were to re-enact the story of Christ's birth in the small Church of St. Nicholas.
Unfortunately, the St. Nicholas' church organ wasn't working and would not be repaired before Christmas. Because the church organ was out of commission, the actors presented their Christmas drama in a private home. That Christmas presentation of the events in the first chapters of Matthew and Luke put assistant pastor Josef Mohr in a meditative mood. Instead of walking straight to his house that night, Mohr took a longer way home. The longer path took him up over a hill overlooking the village.
From that hilltop, Mohr looked down on the peaceful snow-covered village. Reveling in majestic silence of the wintry night, Mohr gazed down at the glowing Christmas-card like scene. His thoughts about the Christmas play he had just seen made him remember a poem he had written a couple of years before. That poem was about the night when angels announced the birth of the long-awaited Messiah to shepherds on a hillside.
Mohr decided those words might make a good carol for his congregation the following evening at their Christmas eve service. The one problem was that he didn't have any music to which that poem could be sung. So, the next day Mohr went to see the church organist, Franz Xaver Gruber. Gruber only had a few hours to come up with a melody which could be sung with a guitar. However, by that evening, Gruber had managed to compose a musical setting for the poem. It no longer mattered to Mohr and Gruber that their church organ was inoperable. They now had a Christmas carol that could be sung without that organ.
On Christmas Eve, the little Oberndorf congregation heard Gruber and Mohr sing their new composition to the accompaniment of Gruber's guitar.
Weeks later, well-known organ builder Karl Mauracher arrived in Oberndorf to fix the organ in St. Nicholas church. When Mauracher finished, he stepped back to let Gruber test the instrument. When Gruber sat down, his fingers began playing the simple melody he had written for Mohr's Christmas poem. Deeply impressed, Mauracher took copies of the music and words of "Silent Night" back to his own Alpine village, Kapfing. There, two well-known families of singers — the Rainers and the Strassers — heard it. Captivated by "Silent Night," both groups put the new song into their Christmas season repertoire.
Silent night! holy night!
All is calm, all is bright,
'Round yon virgin mother and Child!
Holy Infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
The Strasser sisters spread the carol across northern Europe. In 1834, they performed "Silent Night" for King Frederick William IV of Prussia, and he then ordered his cathedral choir to sing it every Christmas eve.
Twenty years after "Silent Night" was written, the Rainers brought the song to the United States, singing it (in German) at the Alexander Hamilton Monument located outside New York City's Trinity Church.
In 1863, nearly fifty years after being first sung in German, "Silent Night" was translated into English (by either Jane Campbell or John Young). Eight years later, that English version made its way into print in Charles Hutchins' Sunday School Hymnal.Today the words of "Silent Night" are sung in more than 300 different languages around the world.

before i ever got in here, I knew that this spot would be interesting, even with all the rendering equipment having been taken out because of all the windows. For a few years it was a gym, and now it's a photo studio.
I have been documenting the changing face of this neighborhood since 2005 to the present day. I never imagined that going to a photo meetup here would provide me with enough content and inspiration to continue to photograph the dynamic changes taking place as the neighborhood transformed from a dead retail strip on Dundas with derelict and shuttered industry to the hot hipster neighborhood it’s become. The Junction was not always known as such, it was rather West Toronto neighborhood, which for a large part was more often referred to the Stockyards. Meat processing is the only original industry that is still present today, to the dismay of residents. Industry was centralized here as the area had lower land prices and taxes and the creation of an official port of entry. Also Canadian Pacific developed a large rail yard which extends from Keele to Scarlet road. This led to massive industrial and commercial development which stayed for the most part until closures started with these companies in 2005.
Canada packers, CCM, Campbell Milling and Heinzman piano company were the most notable companies, which all have been converted respectfully to a large mall, another mall complex and a high rise condo. Other buildings such as the Symes waste transfer station and Sherwin Williams and Houghton plant were recently converted into a brewery, a failed condo development now waiting to be sold, and a studio complex with a gym and printing facilities. The first spot I photographed was the old Sherwin Williams plant in late 2005 on a cold Christmas weekend and it peaked my curiosity about industry in the city. Another notable location I visited multiple times was the old GE plant, which as of today (2018) is completely redeveloped. The old Bunge complex, which was located on St.Clair west of Keele was my personal favorite spot to visit while it was intact. I must have been 8 times and got to know the entire complex quite well. It was knocked over very quickly and the large stockyards mall took it’s place.
The story of my junction documentary project is quite extensive and the best way to discover more is to look at the captions on the images. I enjoyed exploring an area with so much industrial diversity so close to home and find myself wishing I still had something like this in my backyard.

Look at him now, another used man
Wearing the passing of his dignity with all the courage that he can
He stood in the storm, carved out in stone
He said I've worn my honesty with pride in everything I've done
So where were you when my ship went down
Where were you when I ran aground
Where were you when I turned it around
Where were you when they burned me down
You see her now, all tired and worn
She never thought her life would come to be so cold or so alone
She walked in the light, fought bondage for love
She said I cast off the chains that I was born with but it never was enough
Silent souls washed up on the shores
Left to walk the sands evermore, evermore
Look at you now just chasing your life
Make like the saviour of the planet
You're just trying to get by
Now you may walk the line, you may see it all through
But I know you cry yourself to sleep at night just wondering what to do
where were you when my ship went down
Where were you when I ran aground
Where were you when I turned it around
Where were you when they burned me down
Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring, which in 1962 exposed the hazards of the pesticide DDT, eloquently questioned humanity's blind faith in the chemical industry and helped set the stage for the modern environmental movement.
One of the landmark books of the 20th century, Silent Spring's message resonates loudly today, even several decades after its publication. And equally inspiring is the example of Rachel Carson herself. Against overwhelming difficulties and adversity, but motivated by her unabashed love of nature, she rose like a gladiator in its defense.
Carson had made it clear she was not advocating the banning or complete withdrawal of helpful pesticides, but was instead encouraging responsible and carefully managed use, with an awareness of the chemicals' impact on the entire ecosystem. However, some critics asserted that she was calling for the elimination of all pesticides.
Clueless, neocon, sycophants Tom Coburn has even gone out of his way to deny Rachel Carson her due recognition. Denying Rachel Carson recognition on her 100th birthday anniversary is an obvious political ploy. It is part of a strategy to refute any science that does not meet the political standards of people who would deny climate change, environmental degradation, and inconvenient scientific theories such as evolution.
I admit it-I'm a big fan of the "silent hill" video game series.So it was in great anticipation when I drove 45 minutes on a sunny Sunday afternoon to see the silent hill cemetery in tiny McConnell,IL.So many ideas.... Well it wasn't quite what I was hoping for-this is heavily cropped because of the big,orange "Dead End" sign mounted underneath,and no iron gates around the cemetery itself...But another item off the bucket list....

A Flower Does Not Talk
Silently a flower blooms,
In silence it falls away;
Yet here now, at this moment, at this place,
The world of the flower, the whole of
the world is blooming.
This is the talk of the flower, the truth
of the blossom:
The glory of eternal life is fully shining here."
- Zenkei Shibayama

The Silent Warrior is a high speed racer. A klunker, it's known to break down quite a lot after a long race. It's known for being the exact opposite of its name because it's not silent at all.
As for the girl in the one-piece, she's one of the few minifigs I have availible now because most of mine are either packed away or in the large post-apoc project i'm working on.

The Silent Cargoes sculpture and the Millennium Bridge over the Manchester Ship Canal beyond.
Silent Cargoes is a large sculpture at the side of Salford Quays, close to the Imperial War Museum North.
The sculpture, created by artist James Wine with the assistance of John King, of Liverpool, is made up of a number of barrels, crates and packing materials, painted grey. They represent the old life of the Quays as the Manchester Docks and are mere metres away from the Manchester Ship Canal.
The Millennium Bridge at Salford Quays spans the Manchester Ship Canal between the Imperial War Museum North and the Lowry.
Designed by Carlos Fernandez Casado, the footbridge operates as a lift bridge as well and can be raised and lowered to allow boats to pass beneath. Two towers at either end of the bridge bring the structure up and down as required.
Salford Quays is a huge urban regeneration project on the site of the old Manchester Docks at the end of the Manchester Ship Canal.
Previously rundown with the falling away of industry and the decline of the canal, the entire area has now been reborn, with the construction of numerous residential and leisure buildings.
As well as apartment blocks and houses, the Quays are home to the Lowry arts and leisure centre, the Lowry Outlet Mall and the Imperial War Museum North. MediaCityUK – a new home for the BBC in the North of England is in the final stages of its construction.
The Quays are a popular tourist attraction – both for those visiting the buildings named above and also for those who just come to wander along the waterside. They are also host to numerous events throughout the year, including triathlons and swims, with people dipping into the canal water which previously would have been dangerous to their health.
Silent Street is just south of the main shopping area in Ipswich, and still retains some very old buildings.
