On October 15, blind and visually impaired students took to the streets to raise awareness of pedestrian safety.
The National Disabled Veterans TEE Tournament is the brainchild of several employees of the Iowa City VA Medical Center, along with two visually impaired Iowa Veterans. These visionaries created the TEE Tournament, an acronym standing for TRAINING, EXPOSURE and EXPERIENCE. In 2008, it became one of six VA national rehabilitation programs for Veterans. The event expanded to include not only blind Veterans, but amputees, wheelchairbound Veterans, and those with other life changing disabilities. It takes place each year in Iowa City.

Goal: Visually explain the content of our Christmas series
Audience: Mostly whole congregation; we'll have flyers w/ info on the back they can hand out to their friends.
Direction: The title of the series (Who who who) was inspired by one of JCPenney's marketing campaigns but once we planned out the series content, we took it in a different direction. We wanted it to be simple, but I wonder if it is too simple right now.
Project: Key art for Christmas sermon series
Other important info: Not quite a finished project, but it will be by tomorrow afternoon. The phrase "Who is Christmas!" is on purpose; the series will explain that we have made Christmas a "what" and gotten wrapped up in everything that surrounds that "what," but it is really about a "who."
I couldn't find a good manger scene so I used the lasso tool and paint bucket to make my own that was inspired by polyholly's piece (http://www.flickr.com/photos/phoshmo/5199777346/), which is totally awesome.
Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated. I'm very thankful to have found this place!

A visually striking plate, and Duffy’s third dish which paired a 118°poached-then-chilled-then-carmelized only on one side sea scallop with variations of tapioca (puffed and dusted with hibiscus salt, hibiscus-soaked tapioca chip and licorice-y Sambuca soaked tapioca balls), hibiscus (salt and beet-red hibiscus syrup) with toasted goats milk puree and licorice-flavoured elements (shaved fennel bulb, stalk, fronds and hoja santa leaves). Duffy explained that his use of the chewy tapioca balls (the type found in bubble tea) was not just for texture, but utilizing the unique component as a carrier of licorice-y Sambuca in a chilled scallop plate.
This visually-simple multiplayer game is a surprisingly competitive tank warfare simulator. The tanks move quite slowly and can fire only one shell at a time. As a result, positioning is crucial.

This is my first attempt at imaging the Sun through a Quark Chromosphere filter. This massive solar filament is unusually wide and long, visually it covers a large portion of the Sun. Also visually I could see the whole Sun when I used my 32mm eyepiece but when I replaced it with my planetary camera the magnification was quite startling, hence this mosaic of the filament.
I hope to post some more from my first session later.

The most colorful and visually spectacular valley in Yellowstone, Wyoming is the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Two large waterfalls occur along this stretch of the river - the Upper Falls and the Lower Falls.
The rocks of the canyon include rhyolite lava flows, rhyolitic volcanic tuffs, and some sedimentary deposits - all are geologically young and date to the Quaternary.
The yellows, pinks, reds, and oranges indicate the presence of hydrothermally altered rocks. Hydrothermal metamorphism refers to the intense alteration by superheated groundwater. Yellowstone has over 100,000 hydrothermal features in the form of hot springs, geysers, fumaroles, and mudpots.

A very interesting and visually rich marker stone dedicated in the first instance to Frederick Evans who died aged two years. The soul of the boy is seen carried to Heaven by an angel as the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove descends to earth. The stone is flanked by inverted torches which symbolise death. The serpent entwining a rod resembles the rod of Asclepius the Greek god associated with healing and medicine. Its Christian significance may relate to the story in the Book of Numbers of how Moses, after God had smitten doubting Israelites with poisonous snakes, on instructions from God, saved them with a brass serpent entwined round a rod, the sight of it reviving them. Thus it has also come to represent salvation, resurrection (as well as sin and temptation!) The reverse of this stone is dedicated to other family members and also William Morgan, "faithful comrade and servant of Evan Evans". See link for reverse of this stone: www.flickr.com/photos/16498755@N07/9402870522/
"Short was his life,
Yet liveth he ever;
Death has its due,
Yet dies he never".
"Long nights and days I bore great pain,
To waite for cure t'was all in vain,
Till God above he thought it best,
To save my pain and give me rest".
St Cybi's was dedicated to the 6th Century Cornish St Cybi who crossed the Bristol Channel and sailed up the Usk, landing at Llangybbi. After a confrontation with a local chieftain involving a couple of miracles, he was granted the land for the church. The tower, nave and chancel date from the 13/4th Centuries, with 17th Century fittings such as the font. The church is noted for its mediaeval wall paintings, including the famous "Christ of the Trades" or "Sunday Christ". Unfortunately they have been badly damaged, possible by Cromwell's Roundheads who tore through Monmouthshire destroying all signs of "idolatry" like a 17th Century Taliban.

Schopenhauer’s philosophy visually explained (as far as I understand it with my limited knowledge)
The empirical consciousness is like a glass with many facets.
The world of perception – or rather the (human) perception of the world – is like a glass with many facets.
Space, time and causality are properties of the empirical consciousness, not of the world, the world substance, the thing-in-itself. They are the modes of human cognition.
As a glass with many facets divides the object into many separated objects, space, time and causality divide the world substance, the will to life and reproduction, into many separated individuals and many separated individual wills. The causality divides into subject and object.
Space, time and causality are mere illusions caused by human limitation, by the limitation of the empirical consciousness.
Any individual has an object/subject mode.
An object cannot exist without a subject and vice versa.
There is no bridge between the world as representation and the world as idea. Man cannot transcend the glass with the many facets or the Veil of Maya. But he can get a glimpse of the world behind the glass or veil by means of aesthetic contemplation, compassion for the suffering of his neighbor and finally by an ascetic way of living.
A glass with many facets – extract from Schopenhauer’s “The World as Will and representation” where he wonders over the plurality and yet the uniformity of the world:
If we start from the knowledge of the particular, and not from that of the Idea, there is something astonishing, and sometimes even terrible, in the absolute uniformity of the laws of nature. It might astonish us that nature never once forgets her laws; that if, for example, it has once been according to a law of nature that where certain materials are brought together under given conditions, a chemical combination will take place, or gas will be evolved, or they will go on fire; if these conditions are fulfilled, whether by our interposition or entirely by chance (and in this case the accuracy is the more astonishing because unexpected), to-day just as well as a thousand years ago, the determined phenomenon will take place at once and without delay. We are most vividly impressed with the marvellousness of this fact in the case of rare phenomena, which only occur under very complex circumstances, but which we are previously informed will take place if these conditions are fulfilled. For example, when we are told that if certain metals, when arranged alternately in fluid with which an acid has been mixed, are brought into contact, silver leaf brought between the extremities of this combination will suddenly be consumed in a green flame; or that under certain conditions the hard diamond turns into carbonic acid. It is the ghostly omnipresence of natural forces that astonishes us in such cases, and we remark here what in the case of phenomena which happen daily no longer strikes us, how the connection between cause and effect is really as mysterious as that which is imagined between a magic formula and a spirit that must appear when invoked by it. On the other hand, if we have attained to the philosophical knowledge that a force of nature is a definite grade of the objectification of will, that is to say, a definite grade of that which we recognise as our own inmost nature, and that this will, in itself, and distinguished from its phenomena and their forms, lies outside time and space, and that, therefore, the multiplicity, which is conditioned by time and space, does not belong to it, nor directly to the grade of its objectification, i.e., the Idea, but only to the phenomena of the Idea; and if we remember that the law of causality has significance only in relation to time and space, inasmuch as it determines the position of the multitude of phenomena of the different Ideas in which the will reveals itself, governing the order in which they must appear; if, I say, in this knowledge the inner meaning of the great doctrine of Kant has been fully grasped, the doctrine that time, space, and causality do not belong to the thing-in-itself, but merely to the phenomenon, that they are only the forms of our knowledge, not qualities of things in themselves; then we shall understand that this astonishment at the conformity to law and accurate operation of a force of nature, this astonishment at the complete sameness of all its million phenomena and the infallibility of their occurrence, is really like that of a child or a savage who looks for the first time through a glass with many facets at a flower, and marvels at the complete similarity of the innumerable flowers which he sees, and counts the leaves of each of them separately.

Harlem, Manhattan
The IRT Broadway Line Viaduct is the most imposing and visually impressive above-ground engineering structure of the IRT subway system. Spanning the deep Manhattan Valley between 122nd Street and 135th Street along Broadway, the viaduct, designed by the engineers of the Board of Rapid Transit Railroad Commissioners, under the direction of chief engineer William Barclay Parsons., is an excellent example of a double-hinged parabolic braced arch structure. Supporting both the tracks and the 125th Street station, the viaduct is a testament to the skill of the engineers and contractors who designed and built New York City's first subway between 1900 and 1904.
Along Section 12 of the subway route on upper Broadway, a deep depression in the topography required the erection of a viaduct between 122nd and 135th Streets over Manhattan Street, now 125th Street. Standard viaduct construction could not be used for the entire length of the valley since the supports would have necessitated a costly realignment of the angled intersection of Broadway and Manhattan Street. For this reason, the center portion of the viaduct was created by using a double-hinged parabolic braced arch to carry the subway lines over Manhattan Street.
The Manhattan Valley Viaduct is actually composed by three different types of structures. The masonry approaches at both ends (from 122nd Street to LaSalle Street on the south and from 133rd Street to 135th Street on the north) are constructed of rough-faced granite piers with brick infill. A dressed stone molding runs along the tops of the piers supporting a stone guard rail holding name plates ornamented with guttae. These name plates were presumably to bear the name Inter-borough Rapid Transit Company, but were never filled in.
As the slope towards Manhattan Street increases, the stone approaches lead to steel structures of standard viaduct construction which support the tracks. This portion of the viaduct consists of impressive single-bent and double-bent steel towers spanned by plate girders. These towers in turn flank the center portion of the viaduct, a three-ribbed, double-hinged parabolic braced arch, spanning 168^ feet. Each rib is divided into fourteen panels, and from each panel joint a vertical post rises to support the floor system. Pins link the arch to the foundations which consist of two parallel rows of three concrete piers each. These arch foundations are carried to a depth of 30 feet below the street surface. The total length of the viaduct from 122nd Street to 135th Street (including the arch) is 2,174 feet, and the maximum height above 125th Street is 54 feet.
The station structure, centered above the arch and serving the 125th Street station, is extremely utilitarian and constructed of steel beams and wooden sheathing. Changes have been periodically made to the station through the years. Decorative iron railings and lamp posts extend along the sides of the station platforms. New escalators have replaced the originals, and these extend beyond the viaduct on both sides of the station.
The Manhattan Valley Viaduct, constructed for a specific purpose, resulted from the unusual topography of this section of Manhattan. The intent of the parabolic arch at the center was "to present lines consonant with an attractive effect, and to avoid unnecessary obstruction to the street or blemish to the landscape."*^ If function was paramount in the minds of the Rapid Transit engineers, the solution was beautiful as well as practical. With its bold masonry and graceful curves, the viaduct is both imposing and visually impressive, and is a major component of the IRT subway system.

22-year-old Azer Ćatović was born in Mostar, and has been living here for 14 years. Azer grew up with a sight defect, but by secondary school, he had become fully independent thanks to his education.
As he awaits the start of the second academic year, he spends his summer break doing running training sessions, reading, and taking walks. He does most of his running sessions on a treadmill in the fitness hall of the Center for Blind and Visually Impaired Children and Youth.
The centre was recently renovated by UNDP and offers full time support in learning and other skills like mobility, self-care, and sight exercises for the visually impaired, use of teaching aids, playing games, going out to town and attending events.

Olivia is legally blind in both eyes. I was giving her drops in her right eye (the stronger one) daily, but in November the opthamologist said the drops would no longer be effective and she'd have to wear an eye patch for 4 hours per day. Luckily, she doesn't mind wearing the patch and she likes the mermaid.
