During a circumnavigation of a mesa next to Negro Bill Canyon I encountered this sandstone boulder. Upon seeing the aura antennae atop the rock, I realized that it was a psychic transmitter. Feeling a bit tired from my wanderings among the bedrock, bushes, and blaring Sun, I paused to take advantage of this wondrous facility.
Desiring to give my motivation a boost, I proceeded to make body contact with the rock. By maintaining the pictured posture for 7.1 hours without moving, I reached a Higher Plane of Existence. The result is that I began to understand why the ingredients of shampoo have such weird names. Infused with this new awareness, my spirit was uplifted and I continued my exploration with renewed enthusiasm.
Joe Tripod, who helped me make this picture, isn't psychic but he meditates in stillness to hold my camera.
Geotagging is approximate, as psychic transmitters play havoc with Internet mapping routines and GPS devices.
From above and across the canyon, one has a different view of this boulder.
Last week I took some portrait shots for a ballroom company in Tulsa. This is one of the the poses they setup, but it seems more like a magic trick to me rather then a dance pose, enjoy

I was notified by other Flickr members that my photo was used on SBS TV (& web) and Yahoo France homepage for the story of the Dust Storm in Sydney.
Both did not seek permission to use my photo nor did I contact them to have it published. I have only posted these images here on Flickr so I'm assuming they've grabbed the images from here regardless of it being marked as All Rights Reserved!

What I really like about this is I can use this 56" wide x 80" long table top to prep quilt sandwiches on for quilting (no more bending or crawling on the floor). I can still reach the center of the table top to safety pin the quilt sandwich centers.

To set the twist, unwind your yarn, around the top/back of a chair. Tie it off in a few places with string. Soak in warm water for a few hours, then hang somewhere to dry. Weigh it down by hanging a coat-hanger from the bottom, add more weight by attaching things to the coat-hanger. I use shower gel bottle filled with water. The yarn needs to be weighed down enough to not twist, but not so much to stretch it.
used my friends rig for the first time. pretty happy with the results was too little light though. need a multistory car park next time
Just took delivery of my new Fujifilm Finepix X100. I've only taken a few frames with it so far and already I can say, without hesitation, that the image quality is noticeably superior to any DSLR I've used, including my EOS 50D. It's also a delight to use :-) Now I have to have an uncomfortable conversation with my new found friend, the iphone. "Siri, we have to talk"....

Using wedges this time. Not bad, though I hate the size of the headlight (which I could probably use a 2x2 round tile with a headlight decal).

Tra la moltitudine di città interessate da questo nuovo percorso fotografico,emerge un prezioso itinerario che collega le diverse città in cui Guglielmo Marconi ha vissuto la sua vita.
Un nuovo viaggio fotografico, tra cui immagini che rendono omaggio al grande inventore italiano Guglielmo Marconi, padre della radio e Premio Nobel per la fisica nel 1909. Bolognese di nascita, Marconi passò molto del suo tempo nella sua casa di Cattolica. Chissà cosa penserebbe oggi, affacciato alla finestra di Villa Marconi, delle persone in spiaggia collegate a internet con computer e cellulari wireless, persone in contatto con il mondo ventiquattro ore al giorno. Su quella stessa spiaggia dove lui ha passeggiato e guardato il mare immerso nei suoi pensieri e nei suoi esperimenti. Forse tutta questa comunicazione l’avrebbe fatto sorridere, lui che fu il padre della comunicazione con telegrafia senza fili. Di una cosa però siamo sicuri, sicuramente affacciato alla finestra della sua camera, avrebbe rivolto lo sguardo all’Adriatico e avrebbe atteso uno di quei meravigliosi tramonti di Cattolica, in cui il sole diventa una palla di fuoco che scompare lentamente all’orizzonte. Uno spettacolo di colori che soltanto Lei può regalare. Attimi, si prefigge l’obiettivo di raccontare attraverso un percorso di immagini e racconti, il legame che la città romagnola conserva con il suo illustre personaggio. testo di Alessandra Fabri

Regione Emilia Romagna Il Presidente
Con questo nuovo libro fotografico prosegue il progetto “Amando Cattolica” e con la VI Edizione, dal titolo “Attimi, EMOZIONI NEL TEMPO INFINITO…sulle tracce di Guglielmo Marconi”, Antonio Barbieri è , ancora una volta, riuscito a catturare, nelle sue fotografie, l’anima più intima di Cattolica e dei paesaggi vicini.
L’attaccamento alla propria terra, la passione e la sensibilità artistica sono evidenziate in queste immagini che mostrano con chiarezza la trasformazione nel tempo di questo territorio, facendone riaffiorare con emozioni intese l’essenza più vera.
L’obiettivo dell’artista si allarga su scorci suggestivi di altre città italiane, cogliendone particolari che ben delineano la ricchezza artistica, culturale architettonica della nostra Italia.
Il mio particolare apprezzamento va ancora una volta rivolto a questo lavoro, alla dedizione particolare e scrupolosa con cui Antonio Barbieri ha saputo mostrate la genuinità e la semplicità di un territorio in continua evoluzione ma sempre attento a rinnovare la propria cultura dell’accoglienza.

Today I decided to experiment with my Voigtländer 15mm lens and as a result I discovered a spot on my sensor and I have been unable to remove it … I can’t even physically see it. I have examined some of my earlier photographs and have discovered that the spot has been there for months.
To be honest I am finding it difficult to use this lens, especially wide-open, because it is a manual focus lens. Some photographs have a lot of distortion especially when the camera is angled.
The Voigtländer 15mm 4.5 Super Wide Heliar E aspherical III is the first native E-Mount lens by Voigtlander. There are a few more on the way.

Shot with the Nikon D7000 and Nikon 35mm F1.8G prime lens. Manual exposure mode, F14, 1/40th second shutter speed, ISO 200, matrix metering. Camera was tripod mounted and shutter triggered with Nikon infrared remote.
Lighting via two Nikon SB900 Speedlights placed on a light stand on either side of the camera aimed at the subjects. The flash on the left was in a large sized Rogue Flashbender with diffusion panel and the flash on the right side was in a small sized Rogue Flashbender with diffusion panel. Each flash in manual mode @ 1/4 power with the flash head zoomed to 50mm inside the Flashbenders. Flashes triggered with PocketWizard Plus IIs radio transceivers.

Bagore Ki Haveli is an ancient building that stands on the platform of Gangori Ghat in the vicinity of Pichola Lake. The splendid architecture of the mansion boasts of delicate carved work and excellent glass work. In the eighteenth century, Bagore Ki Haveli was built by Amir Chand Badwa, who was the Chief Minister at the Mewar Royal Court in earlier times. When Amar Badwa died, the building came under the possession of Mewar State.
In 1878, the Haveli made the abode to Maharana Shakti Singh of Bagore, who further incorporated three stories to the main structure. Since that time, the mansion came to be known as Bagore Ki Haveli (Mansion of Bagore). The mansion that used to serve the royalty of Mewar was left vacant for around 50 years. During this long period of desertion, the building deteriorated to an extent. In 1986, the building was handed over to the West Zone Cultural Centre (WZCC).
From the very beginning, the West Zone Cultural Centre planned to renovate the haveli into a museum. To provide this building the same royal look, experts and members of the Royal family were consulted. The Haveli was restored in its old architectural style and a museum was set up in its complex. This museum portrays the patrician culture of Mewar. It has conserved the premium mural paintings of Rajasthan designed in Mewar. The museum also displays the costumes of the royal kings and modern art.
Here, you can trace the exclusive stuff of Rajputs like jewellery boxes, dice-games, hukkas, pan boxes, nut crackers, hand fans, rose water sprinklers, copper vessels and other items of the erstwhile rulers. The Queen's Chamber showcases fascinating original paintings of Mewar. Beautiful peacocks created with small pieces of colored glass captivate the onlooker with sheer admiration. Today, this grand building has more than 138 rooms with well-arranged balconies, terraces, courtyards and corridors.
The interiors of the Haveli are embellished with intricate and fine mirror work. While strolling in the Haveli, you can also see the private quarters of the royal ladies, their bath rooms, dressing rooms, bed rooms, living rooms, worship rooms and recreation rooms. In the evening, the haveli lightens and stages enjoyable performance of traditional dance and music of Rajasthan. The haveli looks marvelous with glowing lights in the night. Bagore Ki Haveli is a perfect place to explore the ancient architecture and life style of the royal family.

During a hike this morning I took this photo. Journaling is about how happy I am to see the hills turning green again after a long drought.
I used a scrapbook kit from Basic Grey - Origins. The background paper is BG Sugar Rush. I didn't follow the sketches, but lifted the flower accents made with the sticker sheet from the kit. Love these papers.
Off prompt. But it is from a different decade ... The journaling reads:
Where Ashleah was, Dale wouldn't be far away - playing on their DS's, with LEGO, Playdough or cars. Then Ashleah hit puberty and things weren't the same anymore!

London Gateway is a development on the north bank of the River Thames in Thurrock, Essex, 30 miles (48 km) east of central London. It comprises a new deep-water port, which is able to handle the biggest container ships in the world, as well as one of Europe’s largest logistics parks, providing access by road and railways to London and the rest of Great Britain.
The project, being undertaken by DP World, significantly increases the capabilities of the Port of London in handling container shipping,[1] to help meet the growing demand for container handling at Britain's ports. Construction began in February 2010,[2] and is expected to take several years, with the port and logistics park being completed in stages. The first phase of the port opened for business on 6 November 2013 with the docking of the 58,000-tonne MOL Caledon, loaded with fruit and wine from South Africa.
he plan for London Gateway is based on simple logistics. In 2011 the ports of Felixstowe and Southampton were the first- and second-largest ports by container traffic in the UK, with the Port of London third.[5] London Gateway is highly automated, and able to stay open in all weathers, unlike Felixstowe and Southampton.[6] Goods for London unloaded at Felixstowe and Southampton must be transported by road using heavy goods vehicles to localised distribution centres, then re-sorted and carried on vans to their final destination within London. Gateway, close to London and with suitable on-site distribution facilities, will lower costs and delivery times by having close, direct road access for goods to be delivered to London destinations by van.[7]
It is estimated that when the port is fully operational it will save 65m HGV-miles and take 2,000 trucks off the road per day, with economic and environmental advantages.
London Gateway is located on the 1,500-acre (6.1 km2) former Shell Haven site, which closed in 1999. Close to Gateway at the Medway Estuary, on the south-east side of the Isle of Grain, is the Hutchison Whampoa-owned Thamesport, a small but well-established container terminal. The Tilbury container port on the north bank, upriver of London Gateway, was previously partially owned by DP World, but was sold shortly before the development initially opened.
DP World received Government approval for the development of London Gateway, identified by Prime Minister Gordon Brown as one of the four economic hubs needed for the regeneration of the Thames Gateway, in May 2006.[8]
In May 2008 the Department for Transport issued a "Harbour Empowerment Order" for London Gateway, which provided official and statutory powers for the new port and established London Gateway as a legally recognised authority.[9]
The future of the project was less certain after Moody's downgraded DP World's financial status to 'junk' in December 2009, following the Financial crisis of 2007–2010 and associated financial problems for DP World's owners Dubai World.[10] In January 2010 DP World announced its intention to seek a share listing on the London Stock Exchange in the second quarter of 2010,[11] and was given the go-ahead for construction of the port.[12]
However, the port faces difficulties. As of 2015 it had not secured a service from Asia, where the biggest ships come from. With a lot of extra capacity in Europe, rates had hit rock bottom, making it very difficult for a new port to take business away from established ones. Also, major shipping companies are increasingly grouped in alliances already committed to existing ports, and rationalising their services as they use ever bigger ships. The port is reported to have processed 300,000 containers in 2014, its first full year of operation, compared with the projected 3.5m when it is complete, reasonably successful for a new facility facing a lot of inertia from users—it is expected to take time to build a critical mass.
This one always gets me:
An icon of a diskette to indicate saving to your computer, still in use in Adobe PDF readers in 2009.
Firstly, this icon would mean save it away from your computer, to an external source, no?
Secondly, and importantly, surely the symbol is obsolete? The majority of people under 21 must never have even used one.
Enter the argument of historically relevant symbolism I suppose - like extending your thumb and little finger to suggest 'call me' with a bakelite phone - or holding both hands close to your face, while wiggling an index finger, to express 'take a picture'.
How can we combat obsolescences like this? Do we even need to?

Siri, slowly: "I'm sorry Matt, I'm afraid I can't do that. Are you happy now?"
(The original line HAL says in the movie is of course "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.")

The Rainmeter skins used are as follows:
Ya-Hiba by YahibazOu and Ya-Hiba Extension by Starfox444 for CPU and GPU temperatures. Note: You must have SpeedFan installed and working for temperature readings to function. If you're still having trouble running it on 64 bit try installing 32 bit Rainmeter, that did it for me.
RAM Meter, battery, CPU graphs and HD meters are all modified from HUD Vision by Mepu. To get the CPU2 graph running from left to right I applied:
TransformationMatrix=-1;0;0;1;273;0
Bottom left is just the top process from the HUD Vision CPU meter, bottom right is a modified Enigma Clock, set to always on top.
The 'Knight Rider' red CPU bar is my own, I'll post the code if anyone wants it, and the CPU readings overlaid are taken from the Ya-Hiba CPU meter.
Tahoma with StringEffect=Shadow used throughout.
MTV used to be all about music, but not anymore. MTV is one of the leading stations showing show about teens and sex. They have been a big contributor to sexual behaviors.

Used the some of the new paints on this one (which i picked up at the same time).
The Stirland mud is particularly good, built up in a few layers then drybrushed.
Great model to make, very well designed
I used my City Scape Tangle on this bookmark. You can see how to create this pattern and download the worksheet on my blog.
