Drawing a Rose

Consider this a drawing of the rose that Tamaki carries around, or the rose that the "phantom" in Blood+ uses as his symbol, or even the rose that Kurama has in Yu Yu Hakusho. Either way, its a rose, enjoy! LINK: Youtube

We would suggest that when the planned events of 'our' Life are temporarily suspended or brought to a standstill, in the Silence of Being and the ceasing of 'expected' activity there may arise a Rose ( a happening of great value, a gift of beauty), to be realised or perceived.

Digg CEO Adelson out, Kevin Rose steps up

Update from Jay

Hey all,

Got some news. After five years, forty million users, and an amazing
ride, I've decided to step down as CEO of Digg. With the new Digg
getting ready to launch, Digg Ads doing well, our sales force growing,
our hiring ramping, and the company maturing well beyond its startup
phase, I feel that now is the right time.

The entrepreneurial calling is strong, and I am ready to incubate some
new business ideas over the next twelve months. As the economy exits
a very deep recession, I believe that it is an excellent time for new
companies to develop. Of course, I will continue to serve as an
adviser to Digg. In the interim, Kevin has agreed to step in as
Chairman and CEO.

I'd like to thank Kevin, the Digg staff and the Digg community for
their support, insight and, most of all, their loyalty in turning Digg
into the force that it is today.

-Jay

Update from Kevin:

I want to be the first to thank Jay for the last five years of amazing
work. You've been a great friend and mentor, we wouldn't be where we
are today if it wasn't for you.

While I'll miss working with Jay day-to-day I am excited to be taking on
the role of Chairman and acting CEO, driving Digg forward on our
promise to enable social curation of the world's content and the
conversation around it. We've been super busy on the product side
getting ready for the upcoming Digg redesign and delivering our mobile
apps for the iPhone and Android.

Thank you very much for your on-going support of Digg, I'm truly
excited about the next five years, big things coming!

-Kevin

Guns and Roses: The Photographer Who Literally Shoots His Subjects

"Point and shoot: A red rose in liquid nitrogen explodes on contact with a bullet in one of Alan Sailer's dramatic high-speed photographs"
A photo shoot usually requires a photographer to just point a camera and snap - but U.S. artist Alan Sailer takes the process much more literally.

The California-based photographer, 54, has captured a series of otherwise unassuming items as they explode on contact with a bullet.

The dramatic results feature everything from flowers to fruit, as well as more unexpected items such as bacon and even snow globes.

An expert at high-speed photography, Mr Sailer takes the pictures in a dark room positioned around 20cm from the target. The camera, which features a unique home-made flash, is set at a one-second delay.

Mr Sailer, who describes the process as 'beyond dangerous, says: 'The special item is the flash. It is a home-built unit based on the design of Harold Edgerton*. The flash is about .5 microsecond in duration and runs at 17,000 volts. It is beyond dangerous, it's deadly.

'The flash is triggered when the pellet from a rifle travelling at about 200 metres per seconds passes through a laser beam. Its the same principle as those beams that set off a chime when you walk into a store,' he continues.

'The camera is set at one second and an f-stop of 9-13 depending on the reflectivity of the subject. The flash stops the action. The one second gives me time to click the camera shutter with one hand while I pull the trigger on the rifle with the other.' LINK

My New Rose

My new Rose I received on Tuesday Oct 7th from my sweetie after a misunderstanding. He is such a sweetheart.

My Rose

A Rose don't last forever, but photo's will.
In this Rose and Photo there is memories still.

I received this Rose from my Sweetie on our way to the Minnesota State Fair. Which was my very first time ever in my life to have gone to the State Fair. I had a really great time as we laughed and joked through the day. He even got me on a ride. Am scared of heights but over came my fear half way through. Sad part I got used to it and our return ride back got balled up cause the guy took both sets of tickets at the start. But we enjoyed our walk back and our time together.
