Impossible Man from the Single card translucent Human Torch.
in the Marvel Universe he is a major nuisance until the Fantastic Four pretend to be bored with him, and persuaded other people to act the same way. He left earth convinced that it was a dull place void of amusement for himself.
He is a member of a race of beings who reproduce asexually and could alter their molecularly malleable bodies at will to temporarily assume any shape imaginable. He was dubbed "the Impossible Man" after the Thing commented on how the absurd ways that the alien used his shape-shifting powers made him "impossible."

We used a four man center pole canvas-like tent we checked out from the UCLA Recreation Center. We wore layers of wool clothing, no down jackets. The person in the middle has nylon windpants over regular pants. We bought down sleeping bags, thin insolite pads and wooden handle ice axes for this trip from a mail order store in Seattle called REI. In winter we carried open foam to put on top the insolite because it was so thin, I think it was 1/4 inch. I had my Kelty pack fitted at the Kelty factory in LA. The waist belt had no padding.

Participants draw a picture of the LEGO structure to use as a guide for assembly of a replica at the finish line of the Adventure Race, a part of the annual Minuteman Road Race, held at the Claude T. Bowers Military Center in Raleigh, N.C., Sept. 11, 2011. Participants had to examine a completed structure at the transition area during the Adventure Race, and replicate it once they had arrived at the finish line to earn the allotted points for that event. The Adventure Race has been held as a separate event in previous years, but was combined with the annual Minuteman Road Race this year. (U.S. Army Photo by Spc. Lindley S.

Billbergia nutans (Queen's-Tears) is an epiphytic bromeliad native to Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina.
This plant is often used as an ornamental plant, and it is probably one of the most common bromeliads grown. It is a durable house plant because this bromeliad can often withstand several periods of neglect. Being epiphytic, bromeliads can grow almost anywhere - on the side of a tree or planted in the ground. They have few roots, just enough to anchor them, and they get their moisture and nutrients from the air like the name suggests. They like humidity and, when it rains, their cups fill with water.
During spring and summer you should fertilize with a diluted, balanced, liquid fertilizer. Since bromeliads are epiphytes, foliar feeding may be preferable.[5]
There are ways to force bromeliads to bloom. One way is to add a little Epsom salt (Magnesium sulfate) to their water. The other way is probably better known, especially with other plants - place an apple next to the plant and cover both of them with a plastic bag. Leave them together for a week or more - the bromeliad should bloom within the next 1â2 months.

Hans Bruyneel (° 1959, Ghent) is a Belgian painter. He uses existing images, photographs, film stills as a starting point for his paintings, to paint an exalted nature in the splendor of a spectacular sunset and in which the human being plays a minor role as an extra and leaves the main role to nature. But instead of depicting the beauty of the landscape, these canvases actually project an artificial and ominous world. The painter does not invite the viewer to imagine himself in those landscapes. Instead, he leaves the worried spectator standing at the edge of the image. In other words, these are not real landscapes; they are simply artificial screens, images of landscapes appearing on a canvas, cinematic fantasies. The artist himself says about his oeuvre: “Artworks do not provide solutions, but as a viewer you can recognize fundamental questions. For the artist that is the role of art ”.
Hans Bruyneel ( ° 1959, Gent ) is een Belgisch schilder. Hij gebruikt bestaande beelden, foto’s, filmstills als uitganspunt voor zijn schilderijen om een verheven natuur te schilderen in de kleurenpracht van een spectaculaire zonsondergang en waarin de mens als een figurant een bijrolletje speelt en de hoofdrol aan de natuur overlaat. Maar in plaats van de schoonheid van het landschap weer te geven, projecteren deze doeken in feite een kunstmatige en onheilspellende wereld. De schilder nodigt de toeschouwer niet uit om zich in die landschappen voor te stellen. In plaats daarvan laat hij de ongeruste toeschouwer aan de rand van het beeld staan. Met andere woorden, dit zijn geen echte landschappen; het zijn gewoon kunstmatige schermen, afbeeldingen van landschappen die op een doek verschijnen, filmische fantasieën. Over zijn oeuvre zegt de kunstenaar zelf: “Kunstwerken geven geen oplossingen, maar je kan wel als kijker fundamentele vragen herkennen. Voor de kunstenaar is dat de rol van kunst”.
Titel van het werk: De ongeruste Man.
Hans Bruyneel (° 1959, Gand) est un peintre belge. Il utilise des images, des photos et des images fixes existantes comme point de départ de ses peintures pour peindre une nature exaltée dans la splendeur d'un coucher de soleil spectaculaire et dans laquelle l'être humain joue un rôle mineur en extra et laisse le rôle principal à la nature. Mais au lieu de dépeindre la beauté du paysage, ces toiles projettent en fait un monde artificiel et inquiétant. Le peintre n'invite pas le spectateur à s'imaginer dans ces paysages. Au lieu de cela, il laisse le spectateur inquiet debout au bord de l'image. En d'autres termes, ce ne sont pas de vrais paysages; ce ne sont que des écrans artificiels, des images de paysages apparaissant sur une toile, des fantasmes cinématographiques. L'artiste lui-même dit de son œuvre: «Les œuvres d'art ne fournissent pas de solutions, mais en tant que spectateur, vous pouvez reconnaître des questions fondamentales. Pour l'artiste, c'est ça le rôle de l'art ».
Titre de l’oeuvre: l'Homme inquiet

Billy Grammer
Billy Grammer, the singer, is also one of country music’s great guitar players. And a notable brand of flat-tops, the Grammer Guitar, was the product of the company he started.
Billy was born one of 13 children to a coal mining family in Illinois. He spent his childhood on a farm, fishing the Wabash River and dreaming of becoming a mechanical engineer.
But music was a big part of Billy’s family life, and he often played fiddle, guitar, or mandolin for family gatherings and local events. “Daddy played the fiddle, or violin, if you like, and we entertained at the social functions around home,” he remembers.
After high school he served in the Army and took on an apprenticeship as a toolmaker. After the war he found himself like thousands of other soldiers—out of work. Hearing word of a possible opening with Connie B. Gay, a disc jockey and promoter in the Washington, D.C., area, Billy hitchhiked to Arlington, Virginia, auditioned, and got the job.
His skills as a musician won him stints in the bands of artists such as Hawkshaw Hawkins and Grandpa Jones and a sideman role on Jimmy Dean’s television show. He then formed his own band and began performing as a solo artist. In early 1959, he recorded his memorable, folksy hit “Gotta Travel On.” Its success led to membership in the Opry cast.
A superb instrumentalist, Billy has always been in great demand as a session picker. “I’ve got a little more of a broad sense of music than the average guy coming up playing country music,” the 46-year Opry member says. “Musicians I have talked to through the years have told me that I have a little extra punch, a little extra push.”
His exceptional guitar style has been featured on albums including Gospel Guitar, Country Guitar, and Sunday Guitar.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, more popularly known as CAIR, urged mainstream media earlier this month to adopt a New Year’s resolution to drop their use of the word “Islamist.”
The Council on American-Islamic Relations wants the media to stop using the word Islamist? As strange as that may sound, it is true.
The communiqué from CAIR said,
“Unfortunately, the term "Islamist" has become shorthand for "Muslims we don't like." It is currently used in an almost exclusively pejorative context and is often coupled with the term "extremist," giving it an even more negative slant. There are few, if any, positive references to "Islamist" in news articles.”
The people at CAIR are not stupid, but they are disingenuous and deceptive. What they are attempting to do is try to soften the animosity that their associates – largely through the
Muslim Brotherhood and largely overseas – have created. The documented approach of CAIR, the MB, and the other Islamic associations under the MB umbrella, is to patiently immunize the American public to become more and more tolerant until the Islamists gain a major foothold in our communities, our culture, our educational system, our professions, and our government.
CAIR’s plea is both bold and subtle. On the surface it sounds like a call for understanding. But understanding is not the goal of CAIR; it is a step towards their goal. One long-time CAIR executive described the group’s media strategy as “to ease the intensity of the campaign and to explain the legality of the opposition led by Islamists.”
Abraham Lincoln said, “You can fool some of the people all the time, and you can fool all of the people all the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.” Allow us to add that “You can’t fool God any of the time.”
Our God is the God of all Truth. “He is the Rock; His works are perfect and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong; upright and just is He.” (Deuteronomy 32:4) There is nothing godly about CAIR. They represent Islamists as you would expect, with subtle lies and deceptions. They have learned deception from the father of all liars, the enemy himself.
A wise man once said, “Never fight a battle you cannot win.” That is exactly the Islamic agenda. They will patiently wait and grow and speak softly while waiting for the time when they can swing their scimitars to destroy Israel and the US. Not only should we pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6), we should also pray that our God would guard our hearts and minds so that we can discern the truth from Islamist lies.

Adding another consideration to image processing, this series uses a blue filter to emulate 1800's emulsions. In a city where warm tones predominate, the filteration can have an interesting tonal shift that needs to be accounted for in setting the curves, contrast, and luminosity.

Considering B&W image processing in digital, I've learned a lot by reading Mike Johnson's The Online Photographer. I wrote about what I learned here.
The process is basically two steps.
1) Expose for the highlights and process for the shadows. This is the exact opposite of how I used to shoot film.
2) Open the shadows and smooth the highlights by taking the center of the Curve and raising it. It is essential.
Back in the film days we never stopped at negative processing. We printed to paper. This step, by the nature of the paper, opened the shadows and revealed the highlights when done properly. To get a similar effect in digital conversions to B&W I raise the mid-tones, which behaves like printing a B&W film negative.
Failure to do raise the mid-tones often leads to a muddy gray mess of an image. We often don't realize this until we compare the muddy mess against a Curves corrected image.
The Pentax 85mm f/2.2 Soft has been a very difficult lens to wrap a decent image making process around. The lens behaves in ways few do. I wrote a whole series on my explorations of this lens starting here.
Here's the setup I used - Sony A7 full frame + Sigma 1.4x teleconverter + Pentax 85mm f/2.2 Soft shot very specifically at f/4.8.
I wrote about this combination and why I feel it "works" for landscape... except... I hadn't accounted for the way highlights glow and spill into the surrounding scene in high contrast situations. Perhaps some viewers might find this effect too strong for their liking.
I handmade this ring pendant using the Wax Carving process and then had it cast in (925) Sterling Silver. It has a chunky, rock like appearance, with a high polished finish and is set with a clear, 3mm round Cubic Zirconia to add that extra sparkle.
The pendant measures roughly 20mm diameter and 3mm thick. It comes on a Sterling silver Trace chain, which can be worn at 16”, 17” or 18” long. The pendant has been hallmarked in Edinburgh, Scotland and has my own unique Sponsors mark.
