I never had a pet, like a cat or a dog. I guess I never realized just how much one could cost. I think one from a shelter would be my first choice, at least I would be saving one of them from an early end. http://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/pets-animals/15-of-the-most-expensive-pets-to-own/ss-AAmF7vJ#image=1 sandrewn (now I just have to talk myself into it)

This almost two year voyage has run its course. A well earned rest, a time for family and friends and then the wait for orders and hopefully the return of his ship. I still have 19 chapters to read before I tackle this one. So this is more a comment than a review. From everything you have written before, it is a foregone conclusion you ended it just right. Thank you ever so much for Bridgemont. Best wishes Fair winds & following seas sandrewn

Hallooo, way out there on the west coast. Been an interesting winter so far, don't you think? Any news from the publisher (think positive thoughts). One more trip around the sun completed. For a video I thought of maybe a guitar singing cowboy or a student/teacher theme. Sorry, I settled for a nostalgic one(don't grimace until after you have heard it). So I add to what your other friends before me have said and... Wish You Hunter Thomson A very Happy Birthday!!! sandrewn (the extra guitars for a guitar player)

I really don't know if I could get used to a floor/floors like this at home. Amazing 3D Floors Anamorphosis 18 January 2016 0 Comments If you want to impress visitors to your home or are looking for a unique flooring idea, then you might want to consider 3D epoxy floor painting. In the example below, created by Imperial Interiors (a design company serving Dubai and the United Arab Emirates), a bathroom floor has been transformed into waves washing onto a sandy beach. While this type of flooring would probably not work in everyone’s home, I would think that it could be quite interesting in a hotel, restaurant, or maybe even a vacation home. Two additional 3D epoxy floor painting designs can be found below. (via Imperial Interiors) sandrewn (that last one would really bother me)

Why are Some Glaciers Blue? Bulging sea-ice looks blue because of light scattering. Credit: Michael Studinger One of the most amazing sights in Antarctica is its stunning blue ice, rippling like a frozen sea. Patches of blue-hued ice emerge where wind and evaporation have scoured glaciers clean of snow. The translucent, wind-polished surface reflects a stunning turquoise color when the polar sun peeks above the horizon. Antarctica is the only place on Earth with these incredible stretches of blue ice. Blue ice is treacherously slippery, making walking on the surface a challenge, but people risk it for the chance to trek back through time. That's because blue ice is some of the oldest ice in Antarctica. On the continent, scientists have dug up blue ice that is 1 million years old, and researchers are searching for even older ice. When glacial ice first freezes, it is filled with air bubbles. As that ice gets buried and squashed underneath younger ice on top, the older ice starts to take on a blue tinge. As the ice grows denser, the bubbles become smaller and smaller. Without the scattering effect of air bubbles, light can penetrate ice more deeply. To the human eye, ancient glacial ice acts like a filter, absorbing red and yellow light and reflecting blue light, creating the beautiful blue hues of a glacier. In contrast, snow is white because it is chock full of air bubbles. Snow reflects back the full spectrum of white light, just like a freshly poured soda has bubbly, light-colored foam on top. Blue-ice area near Antarctica's Mount Howe. Credit: Stephen Warren Blue ice sometimes emerges at the edge of Antarctica, where glaciers tumble into the sea. Summertime melting can also create smooth patches of blue glacial ice. But by definition, true blue-ice areas most often appear near Antarctica's mountain ranges. The continent's great glaciers are like slow-moving rivers of ice. When these flows hit a barrier, such as a mountain range, the deeper layers of ice are forced upward, like water flowing over a submerged rock in a riverbed. Blue ice also tends to surface on the lee side of mountains, where fierce winds strip away snow and ice. Over time, the older layers are revealed through evaporation. Blue ice covers only about 1 percent of Antarctica, according to a 2010 study in the journal Antarctic Science. Blue-ice areas usually extend for a few miles (a few kilometers) in any direction. Antarctica's blue ice turns out to hold a rare treasure: meteorites. More than 25,000 meteorites have been collected from blue-ice areas in Antarctica. The evaporating glacial ice leaves behind meteorites that have fallen on the frozen continent over the course of thousands of years, concentrating the space rocks in one small area. Meteorite hunters make annual pilgrimages to blue-ice patches, scanning the ice while traveling in snowmobile caravans. Blue-ice areas are also used as runways, for landing aircraft with wheels instead of skis. Governments including Italy, Australia, Norway, Russia and the United States all operate blue-ice runways. sandrewn

The Chameleon Animation, Trompe L'oeil 11 May 2015 0 Comments Do you notice anything peculiar about this chameleon standing on a green branch? Would you believe that it is actually not a chameleon at all? Would you believe that it is made of two painted women? Take a look at the image a bit closer and you can figure out exactly how this extraordinary body painting was done. Watching the animation of the chameleon walking below, you can begin to see how the two women are configured and painted to resemble the lizard. Johannes Stoetter and his assistant (Saphira) spent about four hours planning this project and then another six hours actually painting the two women featured.
