The biggest query we have had since the website launched was in relation to public transport and the shuttle bus services.
We've outlined the Kingsford Stadium Supporter Travel and Shuttle Bus Strategy for a typical SPFL game kindly provided to us by the Kingsford Stadium Project Director.
The following is the initial proposals, these will be fine tuned after an extensive supporter survey to be carried out prior to the stadium opening and would be subject to regular review during each season.
We have also asked about bus transport from Dyce railway station. As part of the Aberdeen to Inverness Rail Improvement Project, and the doubling of track between Aberdeen and Inverurie, the proposal by Network Rail is to increase rail services between Laurencekirk and Inverurie, alongside general service improvements between Inverness and Aberdeen, adding a possible rail/bus service option into the public transport mix. Phase 1 of this project is due to complete in 2019.
There may also the possibility to supplement home supporters club buses with additional capacity to assist with options from outside of the city.


With the general release of The Grid just a few months away, I've been thinking quite a bit about the future of web design given the amount of tools available today for just this purpose. If you haven't heard of The Grid yet, it's a site-building application that will automatically analyze your content and create a site that best delivers this content based on the platforms framework of logic. It will even analyze your photos and color correct, crop using facial recognition, and even place text over them by determining areas of high contrast. It seems like an incredible tool that will make building sites for small businesses and individuals incredibly easy.
And I think that is great by the way.
It's just a bit concerning that the market for custom designed sites is shrinking as fast as it is. I've also noticed several small to medium businesses switch from custom built sites to template based designs in the last year or two. It's simply getting to the point where the cost of customization doesn't outweigh the perceived benefits for a lot of people. And really, unless the scope of the project requires some serious information architecture, it's probably a good move for a lot of companies.
As a designer though, it certainly has me rethinking my skill set and approach. With the delivery of content being made easier each day, should we focus on content creation more than the channel of distribution? Should we focus even MORE on the messaging and audience? Does all this just make us better and force us to adapt, or does it devalue design and make our industry and careers even more difficult to sustain? Regardless, I think it will require that we be more strategic not just with our clients' brands, but with what skillsets we pursue as well.

Robert Ray Hamilton Fountain
This text is part of Parks' Historical Signs Project and can be found postedwithin the park.
This ornate, baroque-styled marble fountain is named for Robert Ray Hamilton (1851-1890) a prominent businessman, landowner and politician who bequeathed $9,000 to the City for its creation and installation. It is one of the finest and last surviving examples of the decorative horse troughs that once dotted the cityscape.
Hamilton, a great-grandson of statesman Alexander Hamilton, was educated at Columbia Grammar School, College, and Law School. He owed his wealth to properties he owned on the west side of Manhattan, as well as an inheritance that yielded him an annual income of $40,000—a sizable sum at the time. Though defeated when he ran in 1879 for a seat on the Board of Alderman, the following year he was elected to the State Assembly, from the Eleventh District, subsequently defeated and then reelected to several terms from 1885 to 1889.
After Hamilton's death, executors of his estate and the City retained the esteemed architectural firm of Warren & Wetmore—whose more notable buildings include Grand Central Terminal, Chelsea Piers, and the Con Edison Tower—to design the fountain. An initial rendering, more limited in scope, was rejected by the City's Art Commission before the present design with its central eagle feature was approved and realized.
Crafted from Tennessee marble, the lavishly carved fountain, composed of separate masonry units, is surmounted by an eagle with wings spread, beneath which are decorative motifs, a coat of arms, a dolphins' head spray feature, a shell-shaped spill basin, and a larger foliate catch basin. There is an upward-facing incised commemorative inscription, worn by time, on the front perimeter of the basin. The fountain stands at the center of a sidewalk plaza and is inserted into the 19th-century rustic retaining wall of the earliest portions of Riverside Park.
Created for "man and beast," the fountain was evidently intended primarily as a drinking fountain for horses, and was erected during an era when the streets of Manhattan were frequented by thousands of horses on a daily basis, and equine transport was the principal means of conveying goods and people around the city. To satisfy the horses' thirst, numerous watering fountains and troughs were installed along the city's streets. Many were erected by humane societies such as the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). In addition to fulfilling a necessary function of preserving the health of beasts of burden, these roadside fountains often exhibited a great degree of artistry in their design and ornamentation.
The decline of horse-drawn commercial vehicles resulted in the virtual elimination of these fountains by World War II. While the Hamilton Fountain survived, it fell into disrepair, was vandalized, and its plumbing ceased to function. For a period, neighborhood volunteers maintained aquatic plants in the still water of the basin, and even koi swam here. In 2009 private donations to the Riverside Park Conservancy made possible the restoration of the fountain, including conservation of the ornamentation, installation of new electrical and plumbing service, repaving of the plaza with hexagonal blocks, and planting four serviceberry trees. The Riverside Park Conservancy has also established a maintenance fund to provide for the ongoing care of this significant historic monument.

I read this article and found it very interesting, thought it might be something for you. The article is called Mastering Your Goals and is located at https://satorimethod.com/mastering-your-goals/.
Let's talk about harnessing your inner work-force.
Did you know that you have a Workforce within you that will help you accomplish all of the things you want to achieve in your life?
We're talking about your subconscious mind, that aspect of your mind that is always running in the background, following your EVERY command.
Your subconscious mind can be likened to a powerful Workforce, which is under the guidance of a seasoned Foreman. He has the detailed plans and skill to oversee the construction of an incredible building. He carefully reviews the blueprints, over and over, never missing a single detail, and then directs the different workers on how to get the job done.
The most important thing you need to know about your built-in Foreman is that he is really, really good at what he does. And he will build exactly what is on the plans. Next, you need to to realize that your Foreman answers directly to YOU … the Engineer & Superintendent.
So whatever you have designed and then asked him to build is precisely what he will do.
This analogy is obviously pointing to the insight that whatever gets built in your life came from the mental blueprints that YOU submitted to your subconscious mind. These blueprints came from your daily thoughts, beliefs and expectations.
The question we're leading up to here is… Are you aware of the Blueprints you're giving to your Foreman?
Are your thoughts clear and specific about what you want in your life?
Are your expectations positive or negative?
Do you believe that you can have exactly what you want?
Our main reason for sharing this little illustration is that hopefully it will give you insight into the importance of getting clear about your goals and then learning how to use the power of your subconscious mind.
Since Tristan earned his Black Belt in 1987, he has become ultra-focused on the mechanics of goals and why they work for some and not for others.
1) Their goals are not detailed, measurable or specific enough.
Not Familiar With Core Desires?
A core desire is something that you truly want to achieve; a goal driven by an inner feeling of something that you want so badly that you'll do just about anything to achieve/become it.
Tip – if you want to be happy be sure your core desire is also a conscious desire – one that truly fulfills your heart.
What's the difference in Core desires VS normal fleeting desires?
If when you think about your goal and it gives you a blast of positive energy, then you know you're truly focused upon it with core desire. If it's just something you think you'd 'like' to have, but you could live without it, well then it's not motivated by core desire, so it's probably not going to manifest.
So what are your core desires? What is it that you really want?
So Why Not get Clear Right Now?
Take some time to figure out exactly what you want in your life and start submitting your new mental blueprints to your Foreman on a regular basis.
Is this the best my life can be?
What do I really want in each of these areas of my life?
Be detailed and specific! Ask your deeper self, "Is this my heart's core desire?" Then listen to what your heart tells you.
Once you're clear you'll need to consistently think about your new goals, visualize them, release doubts you may have about 'having' them, talk about them as if they are already here, expressing how much you appreciate your life as it is now AND how much you appreciate your life as your new goals become manifest.
TIP: You can best impress your goals upon your subconscious mind if you get extremely excited about them. You've got to feel your goals in your bones!! Feel like they are already here. They are real. You deserve them. No questions and NO DOUBTS.
Live these positive feelings and experience them in your subconscious mind everyday. Become an awesome coach to yourself … inundate yourself with positivity. Don't let anyone or anything sway you from your beautiful dream.
Use this analogy of the Foreman and your built-in Workforce to remind yourself that you don't have to do all of the heavy lifting. Your mind is so powerful. It knows how to make things happen. The deeper you go within yourself the more you will find just how much internal power you actually have.
Lastly, following a daily visualization process is key … but remember to generate the internal feeling state that activates the connection between your subconscious mind and the Universal attraction process.
Go for it and have fun being the boss to your inner-Foreman!
Thanks, I loved reading it, mainly the self empowering side of it..


Speaking of backyards.. I think I may have fiddlehead ferns in mine. I'll have to see if I can ask the old owners if they are indeed Ostrich ferns. If so, looks like I'll have some good spring side dishes. I think C thinks I'm weird to be eating the landscaping, but they are so yummy!
Tuesday: I packed, and cleaned, and packed some more..
Wednesday: Another headache. I need to make an eye doctor appointment once we get into the new house. Its been over a year since my last prescription. Maybe that's my problem.. or maybe the pollen.. who knows….
Friday: Homework day. Three weeks left.. two classes, lots of work.. I'm trying to do all I can this weekend to get it off of my mind during the move. Also will be without Internet for a few days, so I have to get some work in early.
Well, with the 90% chance of rain and possible thunderstorms predicted for tomorrow, we won't be at the Bloomsburg Renaissance Jamboree. The high humidity is attracted to the glycerin in the soaps and they get slippery. This means I have to dry them out after wet shows, and with the move, there just isn't time, or room, to do that. This usually produces lower sales, because who wants to buy slickery soap, so add that with a hotel bill for the night and .. well… its probably better to just stay home. I should also mention that I dropped a table leg on my foot the other day (screw side down) and I'm still limping. If I knew for sure it was going to be a profitable day, I'd play through the pain, but to sit in the rain in pain (in Spain??), not this chickie-poo.
This is a big bummer because this is one of my favorite shows of the year. When it's not raining, the crowds are great, we get to see many of our friends for the first time in months, and the food is pretty good too.
I think we'll get to drop of stuff off at the new house tomorrow and finish packing. So this rain does have an up side. The first things to be delivered!!! Tuesday the movers come for all the big stuff. Man is my foot glad we hired movers!
This week I got tons of soap made (well at least enough to get me though May, I hope). I made Lavender, Rejuvenation, Oatmeal, Milk & Honey, Wisdom, and Peppermint Foot Scrub. I only have enough ingredients to make one more batch, which I'll do today, and then I can pack the rest of my supplies for the move.
I also packed about 80% of my supplies, most of my clothes, and a good portion of the kitchen as well. Both C and I had trouble getting motivated this weekend to pack, so it looks like I'll be doing a lot this week. That is fine though because we've had a small change in plans, looks like 4.21 will be spent labeling for shows and stores, and 4.28 will be spent moving from storage. Originally the plan was the other way around, but the house isn't quite done yet. There are a few little things that need to be done- the cable needs to be installed in a few rooms; a few outlets need to be changed to grounded plugs, stuff like that. So we'll start moving stuff on Sunday 4.24 for sure (or I sure hope!).
I got one show ready- Bucks County Designer House- and I drop that off today. If you are into design and history it's a great place to go see. Every year the historical society picks one house and designers spiffy the place up. Outside in a barn or garage usually, they have a small craft area as well. All the proceeds go to the historical society so they can save and preserve more historic houses in the area. It's what I call a "feel good" show- no mater how much you sell, it feels good to be a part of it because the money is going for something good for the community.
I also delivered a basket to the Mainline Arts Center. Prior to their Spring Craft Show they are doing a silent auction. Participants in the show donate objects that are auctioned off. The proceeds go to their outreach programming. The objects go on display today (4/18) and will be available to bid on until May 8th at 3:00 pm. They are usually located in the lobby, so it is easy to run in, look, bid, and go. Go run on over, get some great fine crafts at a good price, and give to a good cause.
This week has been fun, but not very soapy.
We started the week going to Atlantic City for the night. Somehow we had gotten an offer for a free room at the Borgata, and since they usually run a couple of hundred a night, we decided to graciously take them up on their offer. We had a wonderful dinner at their steakhouse, but we both decided we still like Morton's the best of we're going to shell out that kind of dough on dinner. We lost some cash (as was expected) but had fun doing it (I love those nickel slots) and then came home refreshed and rested. Its funny, I lived in Vegas and never really played in the Casino's and didn't really like being in them, but I enjoy Atlantic City immensely. I think its because the first time we went we went with a few good friends of ours and their family, so it just feels relaxed and laid back, much less intense than Vegas.
Tuesday I sent out show applications and mailed out some orders. I'm really excited about orders this year. Even with the Jan-April being my typically slow season (ok, almost non existent season) I'm averaging about 3 orders a week on top of my sales at stores and shows. That's a really good sign for the rest of the year. I wonder if this economy thing is starting to really turn around.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday we packed. We got the living room and dining room completely packed, some stuff in the Kitchen done, as well as the curtains down, and most of the closets done, including some clothes. All in all it's been really productive in that sense. I also got some pricing done for a potential private label account, my taxes are complete (ahhh self-employment tax is the worst!), and made a comprehensive list of everything I need to do next week.
Next week I need to pack the soaping supplies that I won't need during the next three weeks, and get ready for some shows. I have two boutiques I need to label inventory for, one store to stock, and a couple of orders to get out. I also have to make a ton of soap because I'm running out of inventory of all the good stuff. Add the usual- and I have some pretty busy weeks coming up. Wish me luck!
This past week things were pretty crazy and not a lot of soaping was done. I finished a gift basket that was donated to Brown School, where my young cousin attends elementary school. Each year they have a Gala Event with a silent auction to benefit the school. If you are interested in learning more about them you can visit http://www.brownschool.org.
I also made a small basket for a local Race for the Cure team. They have a yearly Basket Bingo fundraiser, and I donate a gift basket that they use as a door prize. Unfortunately I didn't win any baskets this year, but I had fun trying! To find out how you can be a part of this event please visit http://www.nationalraceforthecure.org.
The big thing this week was a wholesale show called Rustic Nature Buyer Days. It's a two day event and I can say that although I didn't find it well attended overall, I did come out with a few good orders from businesses located in the Adirondacks, and a few good leads for businesses looking for some private label products. You never know?!?
While I was there I got in contact with a shop owner who is opening a store up in Vails Mills, NY. We worked out a consignment agreement, so I'll have one more place selling my products come mid May. I'm really excited about this because I also participate in a craft show that they run so I hope to be able to generate recurring sales from that event.


I saw this sweet tangram tutorial at Elsie Marley last year and have had it nagging me ever since. She made hers from balsa wood, but I made mind from a 1X6. I just can't resist a chance to get out my chop saw. I love that smell.
I haven't given these to the kids yet, because I know the pieces will be lost and scribbled on. So for now, I'm going to learn how to make a bunch of shapes, then in a few years I'll wow them with my repertoire. If you haven't seen them before, it's a puzzle made of 7 blocks that you can rearrange in various ways to create an infinite number of animals, people, letters and things. You have to use all 7 and they can't overlap, but other than that its pretty open ended. No time limits or point systems, just free fidgety play. I love it! I've added a few sets to the shop.

The Anonymous Project
The Collection / Ongoing
From the period of the early 1950s, when prices for color photography had dropped to where it became accessible to non-professionals, to the rise of digital cameras, color photography soon developed into the dominant medium to capture daily life. Not just weddings and graduations, or friends posing for friends, or families gathering for portraits, but everything.
Life, often unstaged, caught in lush Kodachrome color. These amateur photographs are a kaleidoscopic diary of that era, all the more fascinating and arresting because of their unpolished quality.
The magic of color photography is that when the chemicals on the film are exposed to light, color is created. The problem is that these chemicals degrade over time, eventually leaving no trace of the image. Most color negatives will not survive beyond 50 years. Unless urgent action is taken, this colorful piece of our collective memory, artifacts of daily life from the 60s up through the digital age, will fade out of existence altogether.
The website brings together a unique selection of images for our very own collection that we will update regularly.
Different but the same
By preserving this important part of our shared experience, we learn about each other and our differences, but more importantly and to a much greater degree, we learn about our shared humanity.
This is especially important now, at a time when the divisions in the world are so great and nationalism is on the rise particularly in the West. Through these images we will learn that our need for love, laughter, intimacy, and celebration are what binds us all.
Why Anonymous?
The word 'anonymous' applies because the names of the people in the images as well as the names of those who provide them or those who took the pictures will never be known or shared. Nor are they relevant.
This is not about any one person or a particular artist seeking to express something publicly. Almost always these photographs were taken for one's personal desire to savor a moment in time.
Often these amateur photos are technically imperfect – like life itself – and all the more compelling because of their imperfections. This project is akin to finding fading pages from an anonymous diary and placing them in a time capsule for future generations.

Greenpeace Poland prepares to sue coal operator PGE over climate change
29 November 2018 | 0 Comments
Belchatow, Poland- Greenpeace Poland informed state-owned coal utility PGE today that it will have no choice but to sue, if the company does not take action to protect the climate and proceed to phase-out coal by 2030. It would be the first lawsuit against a utility in Poland based on the harmful impact of its activities on the climate.
On the evening of November 28, six Greenpeace activists who had climbed the chimney of Europe's largest coal power plant, operated by PGE, left the tower because of critically high levels of air pollution, after spending over 40 hours on the 180-metres high chimney top.[1]
"We will not stand by and watch pollution devastate our planet without taking action. After protesting at the plant, we have written to PGE asking the coal utility to do what is needed to avoid a climate catastrophe. If PGE does not respond to these requests, we will take them to court," said Paweł Szypulski of Greenpeace Poland.
"We need urgent and brave action, but state-controlled energy companies continue to invest in fossil fuels, because of irresponsible politicians shaping Polish energy policy. Energy minister Krzysztof Tchórzewski has consistently blocked the development of renewable energy sources in a bid to maintain Poland's dependence on coal. The protest in Belchatow sent a clear message to political and business leaders that it is high time to take responsibility and act in the interests of all of us, because a climate catastrophe will affect each and every one of us," he added.
In the letter sent today to the President of PGE, Greenpeace Poland called on the company to cease the development of new fossil fuel projects, in particular the construction of the Zloczew and Gubin-Brody mines and the extension of the opencast mine in Turow. [2] Also to develop and implement a strategy that will lead to a complete phase out of carbon dioxide emissions from all their power plants by 2030 at the latest. Greenpeace Poland announced that it will bring the case to court, should PGE fail to comply with these demands.
Joanna Sustento, climate activist from the Philippines, who lost her relatives in typhoon Haiyan in 2013 and came to Belchatow to support the protest, said: "We resist a future where tragedies seem to be the new normal. We resist a life that hinders us from dreaming big, for fear that these dreams will be just a stagnant reminder of a future we will never have. We resist a life that is dependent on drilling and digging the Earth's core for filth, while people in vulnerable communities are forced to be sacrificial lambs."
A recent opinion poll commissioned by Greenpeace Poland shows that 69% of Poles support coal phase-out by 2030 and the development of renewable energies.[3]
Greenpeace took action at Belchatow to urge political leaders meeting at next week's UN climate talks (COP24) in Katowice, Poland to take responsibility and address the global climate crisis by taking urgent, immediate action. Polish coal is number 15 of the top 100 companies driving climate change according to the Climate Accountability Institute.[4]

Spaniards Living In UK – Their Accomplishments, Experiences & Hope After Brexit
By Edge of Humanity Magazine, February 6, 2017
Maria & Simon
Documentary & Street Photographer Susana De Dios is the Edge of Humanity Magazine contributor of this social documentary photography. From her project 'At Home:Europeans in The UK'. To see Susana's body of work click on any image.
In the aftermath of the EU referendum, many UK-based Europeans have been left with feelings of insecurity and anxiety about what the future might hold for them and their families.
This project offers a snapshot of their experiences, capturing their thoughts and emotions following this momentous and potentially life-changing political decision.
Maria came to the UK from Madrid and holds a Degree in Spanish and Latin American Studies from the Universidad Complutense.
She arrived in the country in 2014 and since then has taught Spanish in the higher education sector. She is currently enrolled in a Masters Programme to further her skills as a Spanish language teacher.
In the future, Maria would like to develop her own Spanish-teaching business, using her passion for cooking as a medium for teaching the language.
Simon was born in the UK to an English father and a Spanish mother. Although British by birth, he identifies more with his Spanish side.
He holds a Bachelor of Arts in English and Spanish from Oxford University and a PhD in Spanish Theatre from Queen Mary University of London.
Simon has travelled between the two countries his whole life. In 2008 he moved to Spain and began working for a theatre company in Madrid. In 2013 he returned to the UK to work as a University lecturer, a position he still holds now.
"On the day of the referendum, I [Simon] was working at a theatre workshop in London with people from all over the world. We were all devastated. Then out came the stories in the press about people telling European waiters to go home. It was disgraceful.
Some people say that the Leave vote was a vote of punishment against Cameron and the Tories, but I think the voters are only punishing themselves. I see no positives at all in this situation. Things seem to have calmed down but you can already see some repercussions."
"I [Maria] experienced a lot of sadness and anxiety at the beginning. It [Brexit] made me question whether this was really the place for me in the long term. I felt left out at a time when I was working hard to fit in and adapt to British culture.
However, I have had a lot of support from some sectors of society, like work colleagues and my own students. This has made me feel a bit better. I am not sure where I will end up, I'm young and there's a whole world out there to explore."
Andres & Inma
Andres and Inma come from Andalucía in Spain and have lived in the UK since 2011. They are married with a young son, who was born in England in 2013.
Andres worked as a locum pharmacist and is now setting up "El Cuervo" – his own bilingual Theatre Company. Inma has worked as a Researcher in Microbiology at the University of Nottingham and is now working as part of the scientific team of a British natural nitrogen technology company.
"It was sad to see how most of the Leave campaign was focused on immigration, blaming people like us for some of the biggest problems of this country.
After the referendum we experienced a mixture of emotions – fear, frustration, anger, a strong feeling of being unwanted.
We felt it was very irresponsible of politicians to pit one section of the population against another for their own interests, not valuing foreign workers like us for the contribution we make to the development of this country.
We are worried that this could greatly affect the peaceful coexistence between nationalities in this diverse and multicultural country. "
Monica was born in northern Spain and has lived in the UK since 1998. She is married with two young sons.
Through the years she has worked as a special needs teaching assistant, care in an old people's home, and shop manager before completing an MSc in Environmental Water Management in 1999 and starting working as a Hydrologist in the year 2000 and in Integrated Environment Planning later on, a position that she still holds now.
"I believe in a world without borders and think this [Brexit] is a step backwards from that.
I am not concerned about my situation as a EU National in the UK, perhaps because I have been here for longer than the London Eye and I am both practical and resourceful, or it could be that I am still a bit in denial, I wouldn't know.
As Murakami says in one of my favorite books, sometimes "You have to wait until tomorrow to find out what tomorrow will bring."
Anna comes from Barcelona and has lived in the country since 2008. She got married in 2009 and has a young son who has just started school.
Since arriving, Anna has worked in the hospitality sector and later on in human resources and sales for various companies. In 2015 she retrained as a nutritional coach and now runs her own fitness and nutrition business, which focuses on the emotional aspects of weight gain.
"Brexit hasn't particularly affected my life so far. I think there is a lot of confusion at the moment, no one really knows how it's going to turn out. In fact, since the referendum I have felt more support and kindness from English people than ever before.
I am happy and content in this country and I always try to focus on the positive. I am not worried about it, we'll just have to wait and see what happens."

Canada's Premiere Motorcycle Show is coming to Toronto. The passion lives, even in the cold of Winter.
The Motorcycle Show will be held at the Enercare Centre, Exhibition Place. That is at the east end of the CNE Grounds, near the Princess Gate.
The TTC will be running lots of streetcars to the CNE from Bathurst Subway station.
Here's another photo a great bike which was on display at the Back Alley Cruisers Woodbridge Car Meet July 11 2016.
Last year the Nikon D7000 was driving me nuts with the output photos. I disliked them. They looked soft.
This years, all of a sudden it's working. The Woodbridge photos look fine. And the wide Tamron Zoom which I used to shoot these is an OK lens, but not hyper sharp. By the time my meetings were over and I got to the car meet, the sun was going down. The pics have to be High ISO shots (haven't checked – duh). I'm shocked. This is what I expect from any DSLR, and last year I was not getting anywhere near this out of the D7000. Wish that I could have afforded the Nikon D5.
Written by Admin Posted in Back Alley Cruisers Woodbridge, Car Meet, Motorcycles	Tagged with Back Alley Cruisers Woodbridge, Uniquely Toronto, Vincent Banial, Woodbridge Car Meet July 11 2016.
I had something to do in Woodbridge, so I figured that I would drop by the Back Alley Cruisers Woodbridge Car Meet.
Last year, I went and shot the opening day for the 2015 season. This years could not make it.
I shot some of the cars. There are always a few Bikers who bring down some amazing machines. I checked the bikes out and started taking pics. Someone approached me with their hand extended.
It blew my mind, as he knew my name. He mentioned my shooting at La Paloma. It's been years since I dropped by La Paloma. That was back when I was trading equities and used to hang out on the Ferrari Chat board.
I had been down to La Paolma shooting Ferraris and Lambos, when I spotted two Motorcycles, parked side by side. One was an Indian and the other a Harley. It was getting dark and I remember loving the way the bikes looked. They had a glow. So I started taking photos.
Next thing I know the owners yell to me, asking what I'm doing. They were ready to leave. So I asked them if I could takes shots of them on the Motorcycles. I normally do not shoot people – model releases etc. They agreed. I snagged a few shots. A couple pics turned out really nice. The early evening and their headlights. Overhead lights hit the edges of their machines. It all combined to create an atmosphere in the photos.
I posted them on the old CLiK CLiK Vic zenfolio website. They liked the pics and asked for a larger size to enlarge it, and put it up in a repair shop.
This was years ago. One those guys was in Woodbridge tonight. He was the guy who came up to me. I was standing there trying figure out how it was that he knew me. I remember that evening at La Paloma. That Harley and Indian looked great. I'll have to dig up the pics and post them on this site.
Anyhow, the fellow brought a classic Indian Motorcycle to Woodbridge tonight. His girlfriend was riding a Triumph. Nice folks.
So I shot the Classic Indian and did a quick conversion using the internet PC. I will probably do the car pics on the PC dedicated to Photoshop – maybe on the weekend.
I brought the Nikon D7000 with me to Woodbridge. Yes, the one which had been giving me soft pics. I had tried some new setting. These two pics look fine.
I now wonder if the issue might be the Raw Converter. I downloaded Adobe DNG coverter to convert the NIkon NEF files to DNG. I did not use Photoshop for these (it's on a different PC). I used Zoner Photo Studio to take care of Levels and Curves and sharpening. I did not do any noise reduction. On the Photoshop PC I use a Topaz Plugin for noise reduction. Noise is not an issue with these.
Things turned out great. I'm glad that I decided to drop by the Car Meet…More Photos later this month.

TORONTO (Feb. 4, 2016) – For Ontario's riding enthusiasts, it's not groundhogs on a cloudy day that signifies spring is just around the corner.

Fri Jan 08 2016, was the first time that I went to shoot the North American International Motorcycle Supershow. I was expecting a show similar in size to the Spring Motorcycle show which was held in the Better Living Centre at the CNE.
I was floored. The North American International Motorcycle Supershow is "H-u-g-e". It is the largest Motorcycle show in North America.
Custom Motorcycles filled Hall 5, my first stop. a few of the custom bikes I had seen at prior shows. For example, Anaconda the Three Wheeler was on display. Hall 5 was filled with some amazing Eye Candy.
Hall 5 also has a large stage. I caught a Leather Fashion Show by Terez Leather.
Then a band called The FlairZ came on stage. Never heard of them. I looked up onto the stage and recognized faces.
On Bass was the amazing Jeff Jones.
The last time that I saw Jeff play was at Nathan Philips Square and he was performing with Tom Cochrane with Red Rider. Jeff Jones is the Bass player in Red Rider. I have also seen Jeff perform with the Carpet Frogs. They are Burton Cummongs (formerly Lead Singer with Canada's The Guess Who) backup band.
Sean Fitzsimons. Sean is also the Drummer with the Carpet Frogs.
Barbara Sherk on Keyboard and Vocals.
Ronnie Beals was on one guitar.
Rick Spyder was on the other guitar.
Super Super talented musicians. Really enjoyed their set.
On a separate PC I am converting the Raw photo files to DNG and then will run them thru Photoshop. Will start posting more pics tomorrow and Sunday.
The North American International Motorcycle Supershow is literally awesome. Classic bikes. New bikes. Used bikes for sale. Custom bikes. Clothing. Leathers. Helmets. You name it and it can be found there. Many of the booths had huge signs indicating really big discounts on their wares.
Make some time available on Saturday and Sunday and visit this show.
It is at the International Centre on Airport Road, next to Pearson Airport.
Parking is "FREE" for those attending this show.

Сијака Пробајн Стивенс (; Мојамба, 24. август 1905 — Фритаун, 29. мај 1988) био је премијер и касније први председник афричке државе Сијера Леоне.

Биографија
Рођен је у месту Мојамба, јужна провинција Сијера Леонеа. Породица му потиче из племена Лимба. Завршио је средњу школу на Албертовој академији у Фритауну. Касније је постао градоначелник главног града. Био је веома активан и у колонијално доба.

Радио је на железници, оснивао синдикате, те бивао биран на разне положаје. Након независности Сијера Леонеа 1961. године, постао је премијер, иако је кратко време био ван те функције кад је извршен пуч у којем је био свргнут с власти. Касније се вратио на положај. Кад је 1971. године проглашена република, постао је председник. Његова тадашња странка био је Свенародни конгрес. Сви политички противници или припадници других странака морали су да пређу у његову странку, или би изгубили место у парламенту.

Председник је постао паметно искористивши незадовољство северних и источних народа, те је његова странка победила чак и тамо где је доминирала Народна странка Сијера Леонеа, прва коју је основао.

Имао је ауторитарне тенденције, те је постао диктатор, као и многи његови савременици. Референдумом је проглашена једнопартијска држава. Председавао је Организацијом афричког јединства и то мање од године дана (1. јул 1980 — 24. јун 1981). Сишао је с власти 28. октобра 1985. године, након чега је пензионисан. Његово вођење политике и економије непосредно је узроковало избијање грађанског рата 1991. године.

Умро је у Фритауну 29. маја 1988. године, у доби од 83 године.

Secrets Of Brigade 055
By Daniel Eisenberg Sunday, Oct. 28, 2001
To understand why the Taliban is so tenacious, consider this: some of its frontline troops are the same sort of men who steered planes into buildings on Sept. 11. The key to the regime's resistance is a shadowy band of Arab holy warriors trained by Osama bin Laden--a fundamentalist foreign legion known as Brigade 055.
While hundreds of inexperienced Pakistani, Sudanese and other Muslim faithful enter Afghanistan every week to join the Taliban army, the estimated 1,000 Arabs of Brigade 055 have been in the country for years. Trained in bin Laden's terror camps, they are the Taliban's most dedicated and highly skilled soldiers--the elite of the roughly 5,000 al-Qaeda fighters on the ground.
About 100 of the very best serve as bin Laden's personal security detail. Most are veterans of battles against regimes in their homelands or the mujahedin war against the Soviets in Afghanistan. Primarily led by Egyptian and Saudi revolutionaries, Brigade 055 (the unit began as a Soviet-era Afghan-government outfit) also includes volunteers from Chechnya, Pakistan, Bosnia, China and Uzbekistan.
Like most al-Qaeda terrorists, brigade members are fervently committed to bin Laden's cause, and will literally fight to the death. "They give no quarter, and they expect no quarter," says an official at the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency. At the moment, they're helping out at key strategic northern cities like Mazar-i-Sharif, Taloqan and Jalalabad --and, not surprisingly, becoming a major target of U.S. firepower.
Despite the name, the 55th isn't a brigade in the traditional sense. Rather than deploying as one unit backed up by a range of artillery, members fan out in small groups to help reinforce their Afghan brothers, often taking the forward positions. By threat or persuasion, the 55th tries to instill its sense of fearlessness, and discipline, in the Afghan rank-and-file--and goes so far as to shoot those daring to retreat. Even among all the notorious players in Afghanistan, the brigade enjoys a particularly brutal reputation for butchering opposition forces. And if the U.S. enters a ground war, the 55th is sure to draw blood.

Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show is this weird animal. On one hand, you have Card cashing on the popularity of his Ender's Game franchise as it features some stories set in that particular universe. The other part of the book is that it's a showcase of the online magazine's short stories, chosen and edited by Schubert and Card. What calls out to me with this anthology is that there's a focus on readability, whether it's Card's stories or that of his fellow contributors. This makes for quick and easy reads as well as an entry point for non-genre readers. Unfortunately, many of the stories, while decent, aren't necessarily your breakout pieces. At times, what's more enjoyable is reading the notes of the authors at the end of each story, explaining how their story was conceived--an interesting read I'm sure to aspiring authors but not so much to the casual reader. Eclectic picks include three short short stories and a comic.
Having said that, there are two stories that come out quite prominently. "Tabloid Reporter to the Stars," by Eric James Stone is both character-driven with shades of humor. The protagonist has a rich background and throw in an interesting dilemma with regards to a ship's exploration. As the author admits in the afterword, thankfully the ending wasn't reduced to a punch-line story. Read with mild amusement and interest.
"The Mooncalfe" by David Farland is hands-down one of the best pieces in the book. His descriptions are tantalizing and you have a firm backbone of a story here, whether it's setting, character, or plot. Best of all, nothing seems forced and while I'm not particularly fond of Arthurian fantasy, this is definitely a keeper.
The flash fiction pieces save for "The Box of Beautiful Things" by Brian Dolton don't have enough of a literary skeleton for me. They're one-trick ponies and while that's not necessarily a bad thing, leaves much to be desired. Dolton on the other hand succeeds because this is a lengthier piece and he has some talent when it comes to language and evoking the setting. "Fat Farm" by Aaron Johnston is a comic adaptation of a Card story and succeeds well on its own. The art has a right feel to it despite the lack of backgrounds. Like many of the stories featured in this anthology, this is one of those concept stories.
There's four Ender stories here, one of which actually got ported over to the Ender in Exile novel. If you're ignorant of that universe, the stories stand well on their own, although again, they feel plot-oriented more than anything else. Fans of the series however will find that these stories fleshes out the supporting characters and it's a welcome read in that context.
Overall, again, the big focus of the anthology is towards readability. Many of the stories lack the impact I was looking for although they are all competent. I did enjoy Card's Ender stories although that might be a miss entirely if you're not a fan. Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show is a decent distraction but overall not the type of book you can sink your teeth into.
