Welcome to Austenesque Extravaganza's "Touring Thursdays." For this project I worked with amazing authors Amanda Grange (Mr. Darcy's Diary, Dear Mr. Darcy, Pride and Pyramids) and Stephanie Barron (author of the Jane Austen detective series beginning with The Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor plus ten more in the series). For your pleasure, we've created three interrelated missing scenes from Sense and Sensibility. These should, ideally, be read in order. My part kicks off the project. To read Parts Two and Three, you'll have to go to the blog sites for my co-authors. (Links provided below.) I hope you enjoy our insights into the delicate and complicated romantic triangle involving Edward Ferrars, Elinor Dashwood, and Lucy Steele.
Here's Part One of Edward's Dilemma: Edward Visits the Dashwoods at Barton Cottage
Edward Ferrars had always considered himself to be a man of education and rational thought, but he was learning that when it came to matters of the heart…well, that was an entirely different story. Escaping the confines of Barton Cottage, he sought refuge under a large, shady tree. He had just settled himself comfortably when he saw Miss Dashwood – Elinor – walking purposefully toward the garden with her sketchpad in hand. So intent was she on her mission that she failed to see him although he was no more than thirty feet away. Raising himself up on one elbow, he watched silently as she took a seat on one of the stone benches with her back to him.
His first impulse was to join her, but he restrained himself and chose instead to remain where he was and observe her from a distance. Distance. That was definitely what he needed. Although he knew it was an invasion of her privacy to watch her when she thought she was alone, he could not find it in himself to leave or turn away. First, she carefully removed her bonnet and set it beside her. Then she opened her sketchpad and began to draw, moving her slim hand over the paper in long, graceful strokes. From time to time, she paused, cocking her head to the side as if she needed a different perspective on her subject.
Edward was captivated by Elinor's every move. Cherishing these few moments when he could indulge himself completely in watching her, he let his mind wander. In his imagination, he saw himself walking up behind her and putting his hands on her soft white shoulders. As he leaned in to look at her drawing, a lock of her hair, which had come loose from its pins, tickled his cheek sending a light, pleasant sensation through his entire body. As he inhaled, he detected the familiar scent of her lavender soap mingling with the garden smells of sun-warmed flowers. Unable to resist, he pressed a gentle kiss to her cheek.
Just as he saw himself turning her around to taste her lips, he was brought up short by the realization that this could never happen. Never! It was nothing more than a fanciful dream. Foolish mistakes from earlier in his life made any serious relationship with this amazing woman impossible. Edward had fancied himself in love once before, but as soon as he met Elinor, he had realized how naïve he had been to mistake that earlier experience for love. Through chance and his own carelessness, he was tied forever to another, and as a result, Elinor would never be his.
Unfortunately, knowing this did not stop him from wanting to be with her every moment, to see her smile, to comfort her when she was sad, to support her when her burdens became too great to bear. Edward knew he had no right to think of her this way, but he could not stop these thoughts that had taken root deep in his very being. He had never wanted the grand, important life his mother and sister envisioned for him. All he had ever wanted was a quiet life in the country, and Elinor was exactly the woman who could make that dream complete.
He should leave Barton immediately. Yes, he would leave tomorrow. No sooner had he formed this plan than he remembered promising Elinor that tomorrow they would walk into the village for market day. Well, the day after that then. No, some neighbors were invited to supper that day. If he left before that gathering, he might insult Mrs. Dashwood as she was holding the event specifically in his honor.
So two more days and then he would ride away from here – from her – forever, taking with him his aching heart and shattered dreams. With a deep sigh, Edward promised himself, that for the time remaining here at Barton, he would try to maintain the delicate balance of paying just enough attention to the object of his affections to feed his growing need, but not enough to make anyone, especially Elinor, suspect the true depth of his attachment.
I hope you enjoyed Part One! Please continue reading the other parts of Edward's Dilemma:
Part Two – Flashback! Edward and Lucy Reach an Understanding – Amanda Grange
Part Three – Lucy Steele's Sense – and Jane Austen's Sensibility – Stephanie Barron

You actually make it appear really easy together with your presentation however I find this matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It kind of feels too complicated and extremely large for me. I'm looking forward in your subsequent post, I'll try to get the grasp of it!ReplyDelete

I was a bit late with finishing the March chapter of my 2016 album, so I decided to just wait with the post until I was done with the April chapter too. And whoa, this means I'm actually 1/3 through this album. I swear 2016 just started?
I had a bad case of the flu over Easter so ended up spending a little too much of March in bed, and didn't really take a whole lot of pictures. April's kinda been a bit of a waiting month. I went on leave after the first week, and I've been keeping busy since. A friend of mine also came to visit for a weekend, which coincided with my surprise baby shower (they caught me totally off guard, I was just taking the dog for a quick walk when a bunch of cars filled with balloons and friends in party hats pulled into my driveway haha)! Spring's also brought us a bit of sunshine, and sunshine = walks on the beach.

Author Bio
Adrienne Woods was born and raised in
, where she still lives
with her husband and two beautiful little girls. She always knew she was going
to be a writer, but it only started to really happen about four years ago. In
her free time―if she gets any because moms don't really have free time―she
loves to spend it with friends, whether it's a girls night out, or just watching
a movie. She's a very chilled person. Her writing career started with Firebolt,
book one in the Dragonian series. There will be four books in total, including
a further two to three books, which will be stories that take place within the
Dragonian series. Her other series, Dream Casters, will be released mid 2015. She
also writes in different genres, and her woman's fiction, The Pregnancy
Diaries, will be published under a pseudonym. And then, she has a paranormal
series by the name of the Aswang series, which will consist of about ten
novels. And if that wasn't enough, there is another series, Guardians of
Monsters, which will be released in 2016. South Africa

LM: Turning 20 on August 6th.
Me: Were you born with the mark of the Dragon Riders, aka The Dragonians.
LM: Sort of, my mark is on my right lower abdomen and looks more like a dirt spot. It's not very dark and I'm afraid if I rub too hard it's going to come off (chuckle). Just joking. I'm like one shade away from being one of the non-gifted kids who's parents pay a lot of money to attend Dragonia Academy.
Me: So, Lucian. I heard you are a prince?
LM: Urgh (eye roll) Yeah.
Me: You don't want to be a prince?
LM: Do you want to be royalty? It's not as glamourous as people think. You have to attend really boring functions and meetings. At the last Royal Council meeting I actually fell asleep. My father hasn't taken me to another one yet. You can't enjoy a night out without cameras flashing in your eyes, and you always have to think three times before you speak. Not to mention the responsibility that weighs on my shoulders. I mean, I'm going to run a country one day. I don't think I'll be able to, but I'm going to try. (He's starting to become restless in his chair) You're sure my mom won't see this?
Me: I promise you she won't. (And there's the gorgeous smile)
Me: Do you have any close friends?
LM: I'm the prince of Tith, what do you think? (We both start to laugh) Yes, a couple. The rest, I think just want a piece of the spot light.
Me: So, you guys really ride on dragons?
LM: (He roars with laughter.) You should see the look on your face. Yes, but first you've got to tame one. We call it a claim. It's better to wait until you gain your ability. It usually happens around your 17th birthday, depending on how dark your mark is. Only then will you know which breed of dragon you are compatible with, and it makes the claiming procedure easier.
Me: How many breeds are there?
LM: (He smiles again.) Ten. They all have different abilities.
Me: So, back to the claiming procedure. What is it you need to do?
LM: You basically fight with the dragon until it surrenders.
(A small shriek leaves my lips) Me: Don't you get hurt?
LM: Sometimes, but there are dragons that can heal human injuries in a matter of hours.
Me: So what's your ability?
LM: I haven't ascended yet (meaning gained his extra ability)
Me: How do you ascend?
LM: It's different for everyone. Some riders became really sick, and I mean, death bed sick. Then before they slip into the everlasting life, they change, and wake up with an extra ability. Others get it through the forces of nature. Some, but it's really rare, only ascend when facing their dragon in a claim, but the Academy almost never allows it.
Me: What's your biggest fear?
LM: (He sighs) Not being able to claim the Rubicon.
Me: The Rubicon?
LM: He's one of a kind. A really strong dragon that can do many things, from spitting acid to breathing fire. We all know him as Blake. We used to be really good friends, the best. But his dark side is already starting to take over and if I don't claim him soon, he will become evil.
Me: Your friends with a dragon?
LM: (He chuckles) they do own a human form too, and yes. He used to be one of the most amazing and caring people I know. I guess that's why I'm so hard on myself when it comes to claiming him.
Me: On the lighter side, do you have someone special?
LM: Yes, there is, but it's complicated. It's a royalty thing. I'm trying hard to make my dad understand that we don't live in the 16th Century anymore.
Me: Do you have pets?
Plenty: 5 horses, a monkey name Jeeves, 4 parrots, a spider and an English bulldog name Cat.
Me: Cat?
LM: Short for Catastrophy. My mom named him. (We both laugh.)
Me: Do you have a secret?
LM: Yes, but it's more of a family secret. I don't know what I would do if my friends ever find out about it.
Me: Well, then I hope with all my heart nobody finds out.
It was so nice meeting you Lucian, and I can't recall ever meeting a prince for real. I wish you all the luck with claiming the Rubicon and can't wait to read more about you in Firebolt.
LM: Thanks for having me.
He gets up, kisses my hand, and disappears into the unknown.

Elsevier Announces the Launch of Open Access Journal: Colloid and Interface Science Communications
Amsterdam, March 10, 2014
Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and solutions, is pleased to announce the launch of open access journal: Colloid and Interface Science Communications (COLCOM).
Colloid and Interface Science Communications provides an innovative channel for the rapid publication of short initial reports on new fundamental concepts, research findings and topical applications at the forefront of the increasingly interdisciplinary area of colloid and interface science. Particular emphasis is given to novel experimental techniques and theoretical/computational methods for advanced studies of interfacial interactions and design of colloidal materials. Topics covered in the journal include: nanomaterials, energy production and storage, biotechnologies, nanomedicine, drug delivery, environmental sustainability, adsorption separations, catalysis, electrochemistry, food, pharmaceutical, personal care, and cosmetic products.
"Colloidal science, as a classical physico-chemical discipline, laid the foundations for the revolutionary advent of nanotechnologies in the 21st century. At the same time, the ground-breaking development of nanoscale materials and devices brings about new challenges, and the colloidal arena becomes progressively crowded, with a rapidly growing number of publications. COLCOM will provide the broad scientific community with a convenient and time-saving resource of urgent reports on novel findings in all areas of colloid and interface science," said Editor Alexander V. Neimark, Distinguished Professor, Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.
Rob van Daalen, Publisher at Elsevier, explained, "Colloid and interface science is increasing its interdisciplinary scope and is a fast-growing area of research. There is a need to share new findings as fast as possible and globally and we are delighted to be able to fulfil this need with the launch of Colloid and Interface Science Communications."
Colloid and Interface Science Communications will publish its first volume in June 2014. This first issue will be presented that 4th International Colloids Conference in Madrid, Spain, 15-18 June 2014 (http://www.colloidsconference.com/).

Boxing and Firing
Dayak man from the village of Ensibau in West Kalimantan setting the dried leaves and twigs that he has crammed into a "box" cut into the trunk of this Dipterocarpus tree on fire to get the dried damar resin (see Damar) flowing again. This technique of collecting resin from wild trees is called "boxing and firing". I don't imagine that the trees like it very much. [NOTE: For the obsessively observant, the villager from Ensibau shown in the photo above, is the same one shown here cutting shingles (from a similar Dipterocarpus species)].

Laver: Murray capable of calendar slam
Rod Laver, the last man to win all four grand slam tournaments in a single season, believes Wimbledon and US Open champion Andy Murray is capable of replicating the feat.
The 74-year-old Australian - who notched up two calendar slams in his career, in 1962 and at the dawn of the Open era in 1969 - expects the Briton to lay claim to the world No. 1 ranking at some stage in his career after allying a ruthless streak to his world-class talent.
"I never doubted [Murray] had the ability to beat the world's best players - Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic - in big matches, but my one reservation about Murray was his lack of self belief and his failure to play enough 'kill' shots when he was on top," Laver told The Scotsman.
"I now believe Murray has proved he does have both the self-belief and the aggression needed to beat anybody. He's also shown that he knows how to handle the pressure on crucial points because he's a smarter player than before.
"The difference with Murray is that now he's got two majors to his name, including the big one - Wimbledon - so that should give him the confidence to go on and win more grand slam tournaments. I would be very surprised if he didn't."
No player has won all four grand slams in a calendar year since Steffi Graf in 1988, while Serena Williams is the last player to have held all four slams at the same time after consecutive major wins in 2002 and 2003, but Laver believes Murray could follow in their footsteps.
"I think we need to wait to see if Andy wins a few more majors first, but if he does that then it's possible he could win a calendar grand slam," Laver added."The most difficult of the four majors for him to win is probably the French Open, but he's got the game to win on clay as he proved by reaching the semi-final in 2011.
"Rafael Nadal has been virtually unbeatable in the French Open as his record of eight wins in nine years suggests, but equally his knees must be a big concern. I don't believe they will hold up forever, so who knows what Andy could achieve if he keeps playing like he did at Wimbledon.
"One of the big positives about Murray is his fitness," Laver continued. "If he can stay fit, then I would expect him to take over as world No. 1 in the foreseeable future, but it won't be easy."
Men's rankings: 1. Novak Djokovic (SRB), 2. Andy Murray (GBR), 3. David Ferrer (ESP), 4. Rafael Nadal (ESP), 5. Roger Federer (SUI), 6. Tomas Berdych (CZE), 7. Juan Martin Del Potro (ARG), 8. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA), 9. Richard Gasquet (FRA), 10. Stanislas Wawrinka (SUI).

Connie's intent is to redefine the purpose of any unique individual object while transforming it with color and texture, imagination, humor and love.
She is drawn to the unique and colorful, and appreciates the subtle nuances and energy she finds in the simplicity of nature. She enjoys working with shells, stones, recycled glass, found objects, petrified wood and a variety of other treasures to create custom fused glass and mosaic installations, original organic sculpture and one of a kind items for the home.
Her passion for the mosaic medium was a natural progression from her love of collecting. This is represented by her work both in the fine arts and commercial commissions. Collecting vintage pottery, found objects, glazed and unglazed ceramics, antique china and glass, shells, petrified wood, rocks and anything else that speaks to her intuition is a daily joy. Mosaic art became an instant source of expression. Through technical study with artists such as Sonia King and Sherry Warner Hunter, Connie's ability to express her creative gift continues.
In 2015, her "Shell Shocker" was awarded the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art, Texas Chapter, John Staub Award, Honorable Mention. In 2010 Connie won a Juror's Choice Award in the Society of American Mosaic Artists' Mosaic Arts International exhibit for her large-scale installation grotto.
In recent years, she has actively explored urban archaeology. Locally, she has unearthed amazing turn of the century objects such as oxidized glass and bottles, metal bike pedals, buttons and coins. By weaving these items into fine arts pieces, she conveys a story that translates into her contemporary works.
Fused glass and photography are the latest mediums of expression that Connie is exploring. CAC Mosaic Designs studio now houses three kilns that are constantly firing to create anything from small pieces, such as ornaments and sushi plates, to large-scale architectural pieces. Her photography exploration has been combined to create memory artworks.
Connie creates individual works for exhibition, commercial use and private commission, both interior and exterior. She utilizes her creative skills, technical ability and the finest materials sourced locally and from around the world to produce these timeless expressions.
Connie gathers inspiration from both nature and urban environments and blends them into pieces that translate her unique and intuitive understanding of color, texture and form to create both personal and universal stories in her works. This is evident in her 2 and 3 dimensional objects and installations. Connie's recent works have transcended mosaic to a form of organic sculpture and collage.
Connie Chantilis is the creative force behind CAC Designs.
We invite you to contact us for your own individual mosaic masterpiece or sculpture for both commercial use and private commission; both interior and exterior applications.

LONDON (Reuters) - Scraping around the fringes of professional tennis, at tournaments in unglamorous locations, without umpires and ball boys and against players not old enough to remember his golden moment, George Bastl is determined for one last hurrah.
At 38, the tennis journeyman who beat seven-times Wimbledon champion Pete Sampras in the second round in 2002 - still one of the greatest shocks of all time in grand slams - is not yet ready to bow out.
When Wimbledon starts next week, the American-born Swiss will be taking the latest steps on a comeback trail - far from the All England Club's manicured lush green lawns, champagne and strawberries and cream - that he hopes will lead him back to a tournament that made him famous for 15 minutes.
Due to a persistent knee injury that has robbed him of full fitness for the last three years, Bastl has fallen so far off the tennis radar that he now finds himself in the game's backwaters, where the costs of travel outweigh the prize money on offer.
The barren years have not dampened his spirit.
"Age is not an issue for me," a now healthy Bastl, without a ranking since 2011, told Reuters in an interview.
"Everyone has his own career path. I started later stage in my life. I turned pro at 24 after I did my studies in the U.S.
"It's important to be in good physical shape and have the passion for the game. It's very much there and stronger than before. I don't look at what careers other players had."
Bastl's "new career", as he puts it, is proving an eye-opener for a player who reached a career-high ranking of 71 in 2000.
"The tough times and injury made me also think differently about the game so I feel like a 16-year-old starting again," he said.
In seven Futures events, the third and lowest tier of professional tennis, this year in Turkey, Bastl has yet to win a singles match in the main draw.
"I was not expecting anything easy," he candidly admitted. "The competition is very eager and hungry."
For his efforts, including doubles matches, he has accrued the princely sum of $1057, small change for a player with career earnings of $1.2 million.
"It's a great challenge and an opportunity to still be able to play," he said. "Of course, I have to start from the very bottom but that doesn't scare me at all. It's the only way I can come back.
"My aim is to be able to play for one or two years and get back to my best ranking and I still feel I can make some results on the circuit."
Professional sport, be it tennis, boxing, or soccer, is littered with tales of ignominious and ill-fated comebacks by athletes long past their best.
After 10 years away from tennis, Bjorn Borg, one of the all-time greats, returned in 1991 using a wooden racket and failed to win a single match.
While their stories and talents differ, Bastl is aware that the odds are stacked against him.
"The bigger the challenge the bigger the satisfaction and personal reward. I'm aware of that and if it was something I didn't want to go through I wouldn't consider it," he said.
"It doesn't matter who is across the other side of the net, you have to find a way to win and this challenge and competitiveness that drives me is what I want to pursue."
For Bastl, his epic five-set win over the great Sampras came "in another life".
Only in the main Wimbledon draw as a lucky loser, few gave Bastl a sniff against Sampras on the now defunct Court Two, once the notorious graveyard of seeds.
Bastl won the first two sets 6-3 6-2 before Sampras fought back to force a decider, only for the Swiss to refocus and pull off a sensational victory.
"You have to be a tennis historian or someone who follows tennis closely to come up with that match - for me it was a long time ago," he said.
"I won one match - I didn't win the tournament."
Bastl bowed out tamely to Argentine David Nalbandian in the next round and three years later became Andy Murray's first grand slam main draw victim. The Briton, then 18, won in straight sets in the first round at Wimbledon.
That was to be Bastl's last appearance in the main draw of the grasscourt slam but he has not given up hope of returning.
"I always enjoyed coming to London during the months of June and July. Grass is my favorite surface. I'll do everything so I can participate next year..."
As for Murray, who won his first grand slam at the U.S. Open last year, Bastl believes Britain's long wait for a Wimbledon men's singles champion from these shores will soon be over.
"He's getting closer every year," he said. "I'm quite positive his time will come, definitely."

The 2 drawings to the left were done at The Press Club wine bars in SF.
James and Tilly Rex were 2 performer/juggleros/acrobatiste/clowns at the trade show in Berkeley who graciously agreed to pose for me. Tilly's giggling made it difficult for her to keep poking her tongue at me. The small landscape was done at the conclusion of a walk around the perimeter of the Cesar Chavez Park, a nature preserve built on landfill that sits next to the Berkeley Marina. From top of the park's hill you can see Alameda, the Bay Bridge, San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, the southern tip of Marin County, Tiburon, Port Richmond, Albany, the UC Berkeley Tower and the hills beyond. Being a lazy landscapist, I picked a simple view of the north wing of the Hotel, a wall of trees, and a grassy slope. It does serve a purpose as the ariel view from Google earth makes it look flat and relatively uninteresting. I think it's a nifty little spot from which you get a lung filling sense of the bay.
Weather in San Francisco was spectacular. Dolores Park was teeming with folks. Intended on drawing the gleaming dome of the church but time and people watching robbed me of the opportunity to do a color study of it.
Strange stuff, this blue ledger paper. I'll have to use acrylic ink/paint because white grease pencils don't seem to have much presence on it.

It can be dangerous to infer too much about function from the physical traces left by extinct animals. Case in point: the amount of time early hominins spent in trees. Australopithecus afarensis (creatures that lived over three million years ago typified by the specimen known as 'Lucy') had the foot and ankle structure required to walk upright. They also lacked the grasping feet possessed by our earlier ancestors and by modern chimpanzees. Can we therefore assume that Lucy and her ilk were poor tree climbers? Not so fast, say Vivek Venkataraman, Thomas Kraft, and Nathaniel Dominy from Dartmouth College. Just look at modern humans who routinely climb trees today.
The main reason modern hunter-gatherers climb trees is to acquire honey. In some communities, during 'honey season' men will spend a third of their total foraging time collecting honey. Needless to say, this activity requires much time in trees. Although some people make use of technology (pegs, harnesses, ropes), there are groups of people who climb trees without using any external aids.
The authors compared the agriculturalist Bakiga people with the hunter-gatherer Twa people, all living near Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (a place that sounds like it should be featured in The Princess Bride). Twa men routinely climb trees unassisted, whereas Bakiga men rarely climb trees at all.
When chimpanzees climb a tree, they often use the method of grasping the trunk with their hands, planting their feet flat on the bark and 'walking' upward. Such 'vertical climbing' requires a high degree of ankle flexation that didn't seem to be permitted by modern human anatomy. It turns out that Twa men are able to flex their ankles to nearly the same degree as chimpanzees and have been documented walking up trees in the same manner. In addition, Twa men had much longer leg muscle fibers than Bakiga men. The combination of longer muscle fibers plus flexible ankles make the Twa extremely accomplished tree climbers despite having modern human anatomy.
Clearly, if modern humans can be expert climbers, so could early hominins like Lucy. This certainly doesn't prove that A. afarensis spent their days in trees, but it does mean that they could have.

So as the thread reads, I'm Paulino and I'm not an atheist. Before you jump and slap a lifetime ban on me, I am not a theist either. I am an agnostic, and i actually didn't notice the little 'atheist' above the word 'nexus'. The TOS wasn't really clear about agnostics, so I'm not sure if I'm welcome or not. If anyone can clear that up for me, it'd be appreciated.

In the past few weeks, I have received quite a few emails with questions about my upcoming photowalk but also about photowalking in general. I thought it would be a good idea to examine all aspects of a photowalk from what it is to what to carry to how to organize one. So let's jump right in.
Q. – What exactly is a Photowalk ?
A. – A photowalk is the act of walking around with your camera and photographing your surroundings. Recently the term has become synonymous with a group of photographers, walking in predetermined locations and then sharing their imagery. Alone or with a group, the purpose is still the same and that is to go out and shoot.
Q. What is the difference between a Photo Safari and a Photowalk?
The best way I can figure it is that photo safaris are usually associated with a class or workshop environment. A photo safari may just be to a specific location and is usually a little more of a learning atmosphere. That's not to say that you can't do a little learning during a photowalk, in fact I would be disappointed if I didn't learn something on a photowalk. Photowalks also seem to be a little bit more on the social side.
Q. – So what am I supposed to take pictures of?
A. – What ever you find interesting. Try to look beyond the obvious and see what the casual pedestrian doesn't, than capture it in your camera. There's color and shapes, and patterns. Light and shadow. Of course these are just my thoughts but you get the idea. Maybe you are a people watcher so you could try and capture the diversity of the people you see along the way. Perhaps you could shoot the entire time with the intent of making all black & white images. The sky is the limit.
Q. – What do I need to bring with me?
A. – There is of course the obvious answer, your camera. But you should put some thought into how much gear you want to haul around with you. Try to think in terms of being a minimalist when it comes to your gear. My best advice is to stick with two to three lenses. Two would probably be best, a wide to medium zoom and a medium to telephoto zoom would probably cover most scenarios. If your walk is during the daylight hours, which most are, you can probably leave that flash at home. Tripods are a personal choice but they will add to your load and you may run into some issues when trying to use them. They seem to make some folks nervous, especially the Police. Maybe you could try a monopod instead. Make sure that you have adequate storage cards or film (does anyone still shoot film?). A well charged camera battery is something to add to your checklist. My best advice is to travel light. A camera bag or photo-backpack will feel twice as heavy after you have walked a mile. Some other notables are comfortable shoes and clothes that suit the weather (think layers).
Q. – I don't own a dslr or slr, can I just use my point-and-shoot?
A. – Of course you can. Don't be intimidated by all those big cameras and long lenses. I have seen some spectacular images created with a 4MP digital point-n-shoot. Just check out some of the work being posted in this Flickr group.
Q. – How long does a photowalk last, how far do you walk?
A. – Unlike a marathon, there are no predetermined distances associated with a photowalk. It could be around a block or a few miles. In the case of my upcoming walk, I have selected a route that is slightly less than two miles. The amount of time is really dependent upon how fast you cover the route. Another factor would be the number of people who attend. A large group will tend to move a little slower.
Q. – Do I have to stick with the group?
A. – This isn't a paid tour and no one will be taking attendance at the end so if you get tired or sidetracked during the walk then you should, by all means, do your own thing. Remember though that one of the purposes of doing this with a group is the interaction with other photographers. Don't miss out on the opportunity to chat it up with others on the walk. There will probably be photographers of differing skill levels and you might be able to learn something, teach something, or just make some new friends.
Q. – So what do we do when it's over?
A. – Let the chimping begin (chimping is a term used for reviewing your shots on your lcd screen on the back of your camera, usually accompanied by lots of ooh, oohs and aah, aahs) One of the great benefits of the photowalk is seeing how others photographed the scenery and what their creative interpretations were. It can be amazing how everyone can walk the same path and yet come up with such different photographs. One very popular thing to do after a photowalk is for everyone to post their images on a Flickr group page. This is truly the best way for everyone to share their images and experience.
Q. – How do I go about finding a photowalk where I live?
A. – There are a few resources for locating local photowalks. There is actually a site dedicated to posting upcoming events called Photowalking.Org. A good Google search can also be very effective. Just type in photowalk and the location that you are interested in. Here's a little hint, start with a larger metropolitan area, e.g. Washington DC, or Philadelphia, or Sacramento. This will probably give you better results. There are also many local camera clubs that sponsor such events. Try finding one or two in your area and go from there.
Q. – How do I go about planning one of these events on my own?
A. – The Internet will probably be your best bet for organizing and advertising an event.
1.) The first thing you should do is find the location that you believe would be appropriate. Do a little scouting to find areas that will offer a variety of subject matter that a variety of photographers might find interesting. Try to think beyond what you like and focus on what would have the widest appeal to a wide variety of shooters.
2.) Make sure the area is pedestrian-friendly. It is a photowalk after all.
3.) Public access areas are usually the best since there are less restrictions on photography in general.
4.) Once you have a location, pick a date that will work for you and make sure it is far enough out to raise interest. It's nice to be flexible but let's face it, there will never be a date that will work for everyone so go ahead and pick one and stick to it. There will be opportunities later on for those that can't make it.
5.) Advertise in a as many on-line locations as possible. There are multiple web sites that are dedicated to either local photography or photowalking. One site that is dedicated to posting information on photowalking is www.photowalking.org. They would be happy to post your information and help get the word out. If you don't have a blog, pop on over to WordPress or Blogger and set one up that is dedicated to your photowalk. It will get picked up by search engines and it will serve as a nice focal point for posting your information (and they are free, it doesn't get any better than that).
6.) Another great resource for getting the word out is to invite your local camera clubs. Most of them have web sites and are happy to pass the word out amongst their members. I was actually very surprised at how many camera clubs there were in my area. The great thing is that once you start getting the word out to them, they usually start spreading it quickly amongst themselves. I was amazed at how many people I have been able to attract to my photowalk by reaching out to the clubs.
7.) Set up a Flickr group and post information about your walk on there. This can be the focal point for everyone to discuss the event, gather information, and post photos at the end of the walk. I have one set up here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/dcphotowalk/
8.) Keep your photowalk manageable in terms of time and distance. From what I have been told, the longer the walk, the more your walkers will lose interest. Two hours seems to be just about right. Make sure your distance will be adequate but not too long. This is a hard one but I am guessing that somewhere between 1 and 2 miles would be just about right. There is a great free website that will allow you to map a route and save it for others to reference. Here is the link to the site: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/ Here is the map that I set up for my walk: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1633130
9.) On the day of the walk, have a short introduction period at the beginning so that people know who you are and a little about each other. This will hopefully get a little more interaction between the participants. Try writing down the names of everyone participating and get their homepage or Flickr address so that you can link back to them after the walk. Everyone loves a little link-love.
So there you go. That's a lot of information about something that really isn't too complicated, especially if you are just a participant. So now that you are armed with all of this photowalking knowledge, rev up your search engines and find yourself a photowalk to call your own.

A daily glance inside the numbers from the world of sports:
• The Mavericks beat the Bucks on Wednesday night, giving Dallas 46 wins in its last 50 games. Only one other team in NBA history won at least 46 times in a 50-game span within one season: the 1966-67 Philadelphia 76ers, who began that season with a 46-4 record.
• Michael Redd had 34 points in the first three quarters but was held scoreless in the fourth quarter in the Bucks' 105-103 loss. Kobe Bryant is the only other NBA player to score 34 or more points in a game this season, all before the fourth quarter. Kobe's done that three times, but in each case the Lakers won by at least 10 points and his fourth-quarter scoring was not needed.
• Andre Iguodala had 26 points, 15 assists and seven rebounds in Philadelphia's loss at Washington. The last 76ers player to reach all three of those statistical levels in one game was Wilt Chamberlain, who had 31 points, 15 assists and 21 rebounds against the San Diego Rockets on March 5, 1968.
• DeShawn Stevenson led all scorers with 28 points in Washington's victory. It was the first time that Stevenson scored the most points by any player for either side in a game that his team won since Jan. 10, 2004, when he tallied 17 points for Utah.
• Twenty-one-year-old Josh Smith had 25 points, 15 rebounds and six blocked shots for Atlanta on Wednesday night. Since 1973, when the NBA began recording blocked shots for individuals, only one player younger than Smith had at least 25 points, 15 rebounds and five blocked shots in one game: Shaquille O'Neal, who did that five different times during the 1992-93 season.
• Paul Pierce made late game-tying field goals at the end of the fourth quarter and at the end of the first overtime in Boston's double-OT victory against Orlando. He's the first NBA player to force overtime and then double-overtime with game-tying baskets with less than 20 seconds remaining since Pau Gasol did that for Memphis on Dec. 19, 2005, vs. Detroit.
• Josh Boone scored a game-high 22 points in the Nets' win over the Pacers. Boone was 11-for-13 (.846) on field goals but 0-for-4 from the foul line. It was the first time in 35 years that an NBA player made more than 80 percent of his field-goal attempts in a game on at least 10 attempts, while missing all of his free throws on at least four attempts. The last player to do that was Philadelphia's Fred Carter on Feb. 11, 1972 at Portland (13-for-15 from the field, 0-for-4 from the line).
• LeBron James was 6-for-20 (.300) from the field in Cleveland's loss to the Knicks. It was LeBron's lowest field-goal percentage in any of the 62 games this season in which he attempted at least 15 shots.
• For the second time in less than a week, a bad first quarter doomed the Heat on the road. Last Friday, Miami trailed Indiana 33-9 at the end of the first period, on the way to a 95-70 loss. On Wednesday, the Heat fell behind 31-15 after one quarter, before losing at Toronto 96-83. Those are the only two games that Shaquille O'Neal has played in his three seasons with Miami in which the Heat allowed at least 30 points and scored no more than 15 in the first quarter.
• The Spurs overcame a 12-point deficit in the second half to beat the Hornets 92-88. It was the sixth time this season that San Antonio won a game after trailing by at least 10 points after half time, but it was the team's first of those six victories at home. The Spurs had only one comeback win of that type -- home or road -- all of last season.
• Tim Duncan, who had missed all eight of his 3-point field-goal attempts this season, finally made one on Wednesday night. That leaves Ronnie Brewer and Anderson Varejao as the players who have attempted the most shots from downtown this season without a conversion (each is 0-for-8).
• Denver led 35-32 at the end of the first quarter, but lost to Seattle 100-97. It marked only the second time since the team joined the NBA that the Nuggets scored 35 or more points at home in the first quarter and then failed to reach 100 points in the game. The other game was a 97-91 loss to Portland on April 5, 1996, in which the Nuggets scored 39 points in the opening period.
• The Hurricanes lost 6-1 at Toronto on Tuesday and 5-1 at Philadelphia on Wednesday. It's only the second time in NHL history that a defending Stanley Cup champion lost games on consecutive days, each by at least a four-goal margin. In 1949-50, the Cup-holding Maple Leafs lost 5-1 at home to the Red Wings on New Year's Eve and were shut out 5-0 on New Year's Day in Detroit.
• Anaheim's Dustin Penner scored two goals in the Ducks' 3-1 win in Chicago. Penner has scored 12 goals (in 27 games) since the All-Star break, tying him with Colorado's Paul Stastny for second-most over that span by a rookie, behind Pittsburgh's Jordan Staal (14 goals).
• Buffalo's Jochen Hecht scored two goals in the Sabres' 4-3 win over the Devils. Hecht had only one goal (and two assists) in his 14 previous career games against Martin Brodeur.

Hi Guys,
I have been deeply troubled by my relationships in past 8 years due to Narcissistic attraction. I don't know how but I always attract a narcissist or myself get attracted to a narcissist. The enlightenment of being an empath happened two years ago but after knowing this also self-control is not happening.
Because of this I am afraid that this cycle will never break. I want freedom from narcissism but I can't able to get it.
I want your suggestion and mental guidance on how to stop this cycle of Toxic Attraction.

The great Bonaparte
October 22, 2000
By Kim Johnson
Belgrave Bonaparte on the double second.
Nowadays everybody is being honoured for their contribution to pan. Even Tony Williams, the greatest panman ever ignored by this country, got a passing mention by Pan Trinbago. Sterling Betancourt received an honorary degree in London, Sydney Gollop get a plaque and plenty pictures in the papers.
Of course Ellie Mannette, now recognised in the US, is flavour of the month here. Down South they form a whole organisation to honour pan pioneers.
And the wake of the Pan Festival week is a good time to recognise the man and the band who together introduced real music to the steelband movement. Because Belgrave Bonaparte and Southern Symphony, his band from La Brea, introduced properly-arranged music to steelbands.
"Southern Symphony-a very very musical band-they were actually reading from musical arrangements at that time when nobody else was," Junior Pouchet once recalled. "A very, very musically talented band and I was particularly, particularly impressed with them. Although I belong to the West and I love Invaders...I think they were particularly impressive in those early '50s, going on to the '60s."
To that Ray Holman adds: "They were more advanced musically than most involved in pan. They could have read music. Also, they were advanced harmonically, their sense of harmony.
They could improvise. they weren't the only ones, but they harmonised better." It was Bonaparte who demonstrated how steelbands should play chords, how they must harmonise their sections. Southern Symphony-whose members included talented panmen and tuners such as Earl Rodney, Alan Gervais and Lincoln Noel-introduced the practice of playing with three sticks.
Living today in the "over the hill" slums where Bahamian black people have been coralled, Bonaparte leans back in a rickety porch chair and explains with an immodest laugh: "My uncle on my mother's side, Uncle Oscar, was a bad saxophonist. And then his brother, Uncle Victor, he used to play guitar or bass. And my grandfather used to play either saxophone or clarinet and violin. That's how my fatherreally did get in with my ma, by joining that band, so I born in the music. I born with the music, because while in the early pan days I used to sit down and think about scales."
Bonaparte sits, shirt undone, smoking. People coming in and going out of the yard greet him. Some beg a cigarette. He continues telling his story in his slow drawl, blending graphic detail with a peculiar amused detachment.
Born in 1932 in La Brea into a musical family, both grandfathers were musicians, as were his maternal grandmother, his mother, his father and most his uncles. Their house rocked.
"When you pass by our house you will think they have a dead now, and the next time you pass you will think it's a big dance inside of there, because all they used to do is drink that white puncheon rum and they switch from, they will...start singing different hymn, and they used to have a man with a big baritone named Mr Cudjoe. They used to go for him because he was blind, and he used to do the bass."
When he was six and his brother Clifford (better known as "Block") four, they went to live with their paternal grandmother in Carapachaima, to attend St Mary's primary school. The old half-blind lady was Catholic, so Bonaparte sang in the church choir. He became popular and was asked to sing at weddings. But the matriarch was also an Orisha, so he also drummed at Shango's feasts.
Around 1944 when he was 12, Bonaparte returned to La Brea with Block. Together with Julian Collymore and a cousin, they formed a small steelband to tramp around at Christmas and serenade for handouts from the houses of the oilfield managers.
In the late-1940s panmen visited La Brea regularly. There were jobs for unskilled labourers, and it was a good place to hide from the law. And in 1949 Invaders, one of the country's leading bands, was invited.
"We start to play So Deep Is the Night'. First time when Ellie Mannette hear pan playing chord," recalled Bonaparte. "Ellie Mannette fly upstairs. He say he have to meet me, he have to meet me. And then he ask: How you do that? How you do that?' I tell him.
"I say, Well, I always had my musical knowledge so I used the scale from C from this pan, and I gone with C from this one, going down in the other pan.' That is how second pan and guitar pan and all them thing come out. Is the first time they ever hear that. That time I experiment and bring out all that already in La Brea."
So when the Trinidad All Steel Percussion Orchestra (Taspo) was chosen, Bonaparte was there among the other greats, such as Ellie Mannette (Invaders), Tony Williams (North Stars), Sonny Roach (Sun Valley), Andrew de la Bastide (Hill 60), Philmore "Boots" Davidson (City Syncopaters), Ormand "Patsy" Haynes (Casablanca), Winston "Spree" Simon (Tokyo), Theo Stephens (Southern All Stars), and Sterling Betancourt (Crossfire).
Ranking with the best and better than most, Southern Symphony remained small. From its humble beginnings when the four boys serenaded white folks' homes for apples and drinks, it became great without ever ceasing to be a stage side (akin perhaps to the Samaroo Jets, another country band).
They played at fetes, they played for mas bands. Bonaparte still plays pan for a living, in the Nassau Breezes hotel to American tourists ignorant of the stature of the man on the double second. His unrepentant commercialism, the awareness that his music should be paid for, led Bonaparte to offer to advertise for Esso one day in the mid-1950s.
A US crew had landed that same day to film a steelband, and Esso was somehow involved. Southern Symphony got the job, making it the first sponsored steelband. The oil company took them up to the Normandie, and the hotel manager was so impressed he made Southern Symphony the house band.
In '58 they went represented at a tourism conference in Cuba, arriving just in time for the Bay of Pigs Invasion: "It had a big set of shooting and thing, people get shot all in the road, and we call Donald Bain the Tourist Bureau man and tell him we want to get out from here, because we was all under the bed hiding."
Returning home through the French islands, they were stuck for months in Guadeloupe. A first invitation to Paris was scotched by the Algerian war, but they went later that same year, knocking around Europe for years, playing in the poshest nightspots frequented by movie stars, enjoying the wine, the music and the women.
"They used to line up in the night, yes boy, plenty, plenty woman. We used to have to duck from them. And we meet some rich one. I shouldn't be working today. I meet the woman, you know them car what mark Peugeot? That woman husband died and the woman come and I and the woman going sweet sweet. My girlfriend come and nearly break up the people house."
One Swiss well-wisher bought them conventional instruments and they formed a band, with Belgrave on tenor sax, Block on alto, both on clarinet, Earl Trim on trumpet, Oliver Nelson on guitar and Lincoln Noel on bass. In 1961 the Bonaparte Brothers dance band returned to Trinidad, some of the few panmen to make the transition to conventional music. (Another was Casablanca panman Art de Couteau.)
The Bonaparte Brothers became one of Sparrow's bands, but Belgrave and Block continued their link with the pan world, arranging for bands such as Renegades, Dixieland and San Juan All Stars.
In 1971 Sparrow had a disagreement with one of Bonaparte's sons who played in the band, so Bonaparte left Birdie. That same day an old friend who needed someone to play on a cruise ship immediately called Bonaparte.
Next day he was winging his way for The Bahamas, where he remains to this day, grumbling, diabetic, laughing at the roller coaster ride that's been the career of one of Trinidad's greatest panmen.

Syntropy branding, by Proud Creative
Proud Creative has finished its branding project for visual storytelling and animation producer, Syntropy.
At it's core there's an identity with two key states: entropy (or chaos), which reorders itself through syntropy (order & harmony). This is in line with the company's objective; organising information into a narrative to explain complicated processes, ideas and events.
The logo is born of an underlying isometric grid. It's broken up and disrupted to give flexibility and movement, but in the logo the grid comes together to create order among chaos.

Material: We use FSC Accredited Sustainable forest paper. This means 'your wallpaper has come from a forest that is managed to the highest standards to meet the social, economic, ecological, cultural and spiritual needs of present and future generations' www.fsc.org
Before cutting and hanging this wallpaper please make sure that all your rolls have the same batch number and that they're in good condition. We do everything we can to make perfect wallpaper but occasionally colour or pattern variations happen during manufacture. If this happens in your order, please return the defective roll, with its label, and we'll replace it. But we can't refund or replace any paper you've already cut, hung or pasted.
Check that your paper is coming off the roll the right way up. Don't hang it the wrong way! If in doubt check with the pattern book or us.
Use a premium quality, ready-mixed tub paste or equivalent pH neutral, solvent-free, fungicide protected, light grade adhesive. We recommend Coles Pre-mixed Tub Paste.
Don't use the following as they're not suitable and may cause surface staining or adhesion problems:Self-mix adhesives, all-purpose and heavy-duty pastes, packet pastes and a number of the vinyl adhesives. For the first length, use a spirit level and faint pencil line to mark a vertical line on the wall. Match the edge of the paper up against this line to make sure the paper is hung vertically. Or you can use a plumb line.
Apply paste evenly to the wall, to an area slightly wider than the width of the first roll.
Smooth the paper to the wall with a paperhangers' brush, working from the centre of the length to the edge. Once you have pasted one length of paper to the wall match the pattern on the next lenngth, at eye level, so you know roughly where you are aiming for before attaching it to the wall.
Butt the joins together, smoothing with your brush and working from the centre to the edges to clear any air bubbles. Keep hands and brushes clean and dry and don't let any paste come into contact the printed side as this will damage it. Carefully wipe off any paste that may have touched the printed surface with a clean, damp sponge.
Trim top and bottom of paper with paperhangers' shears or a sharp knife and a straight edge.
If you fold the paper, take care not to crease it.
After hanging 2 lengths check for shading or printing faults and that the paper is hung the correct way up.
If you are not happy at this point, stop. We can only accept a claim for one roll of paper, and only if it's faulty.
Because we want to make the world a lovelier place. And want to make something beautiful for children. So we make wallpaper & fabric for kids that's well crafted. Good quality. Thoughtful. Has personality. Even has a sense of humour.
Wallpaper & fabric for kids of all ages with a sense of style & an enjoyment of the scary. Or an attraction to the strange. Beautiful design for children.

Rita is outstanding, who could ask for more and over 60
Rita Cums Back For More!
Featuring: Rita Daniels and John Strange
Date: February 16th, 2010
Photos: 57
Rita Daniels' encore at 50PlusMILFs.com is sure to be one of the most-anticipated events in the website's short but glorious history, on a par with Georgette Parks' first interracial and three-way, porn star Joanna Storm's return to the slutty screen, Victoria Peale's pre-wedding fuck and Lani Maru's cream pie. It's an event you guys have been begging for ever since the 59-year-old divorcee from Brooklyn, New York debuted a month ago. Rita received rave reviews for her first-time on-camera fucking. J.J. wrote, "Rita is one smokin' slut. I never saw Bettie Page in porn, but watching Rita devour her stud is like watching the reincarnation of Bettie doing porn." Mike called her the "hottest MILF on the Internet." Luck Dragon wrote, "Her ageless beauty, her elegantly long legs and her powerful sexuality can leave you breathless and entranced." And what did Rita have to say about her reception at 50PlusMILFs.com? "I'm very excited," she said. "I'm excited to know that guys at home are watching me suck and fuck cock and jacking their cocks while they're watching me. I only wish they could all shoot their creamy cum onto my face." Hey, Rita, maybe that's another video for another day. For now, guys, enjoy these photos of Rita. Video to come on Thursday.

I don't know what all the fuss is about established porn stars versus newbees . Rita is just the kind of grandma I hoped I'd see on this site. Pro , amateur , from the moon...who cares !
March 17, 2011
Nagy, I have seen the old-time porn stars like Patty two
hundred times in the past 25 years fucking old-time pros like
Ron Jeremy. They have nothing to offer here. They are just TOO
pro and businesslike, on autopilot, if you have seen them as
much as I have, you know they have done everything in the porn
business. I got tired of them by the early 90s. They are on
dozens of sites. I don't think anyone is joining this site to
see them. At least Rita is fresh, not in a hundred DVDs and I
also think she's even better that she's written about here.
She's also extremely hot, nothing rehearsed and automatic about
August 20, 2010
Rita is by far the hottest woman on your site. Bring us more of this raven-
haired sexbomb!
But let Rita fuck some really young guys -- 18, 19, 20-year-olds. Let's see
young studs learn how good sex can be with a beautiful woman three times
their age!
February 19, 2010
Love to see more of Victoria Peale...( with black guy...??) and also more of Georgette Parks...please !!
February 19, 2010
Sorry for the delay. Rita's video should be up very, very soon.

It's been a while. Not getting out with the camera much so thought I'd introduce you to Lola. She was a mannequin in Niagara-on-the-Lake... the shopkeepers named her.
We went to NOTL often with Jane's Mum when she was alive. Lola was next door to a British shop that sold jams, chocolate, etc. that Jane's Mum didn't want to live without. Brits are like that aren't they? Aah, we all are.
This was how she looked when I first met her... 2007. I called the image 'Kiss Me'.
Over the years she changed. The original was always my favourite though.
She eventually evolved to this wilder thing... keeping up with the times I guess.
She's a 'sweetie'.
How you all doing? Well, I hope.
My best,

"There were high marks from a large number of the students, which is an indication of the quality of this year's entire class. These are the IELA leaders of the future and I am particularly proud of all of them."
