Don't know anything about my YA Satirical Dystopian book?
It's been three years since Murphy led the Hipster uprising. For three years, Jay has been by his side. All that's about to change. It starts with the beautifully intense Prisoner Forty-Seven... and a loaded gun.

Happy reading!

If you do grab a copy of Hipstopia for free today, please consider passing on this sale information to someone else - a friend at home or share online. Word of mouth does wonders! Thanks for reading indie authors ^.^

Bexhill on Sea The De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill, East Sussex. In 1998, the De La Warr Pavilion Trust launched an appeal to replace the Pavilion's aging bandstand.

Affectionately known to locals as The Bus Shelter, this 1970s brick bandstand was out of keeping with the modernist roots of the Pavilion and detracted from the view of the sea.

To this end, the Pavilion Trust launched an appeal aimed at raising the £75,000 necessary to design and construct the new bandstand. After an RIBA competitive interview process, the contract to design the bandstand was given to award-winning architect Niall McLaughlin.

I was really and truly shocked when I called Sleep Number this morning. We purchased a Select Comfort mattress (now called a Sleep Number) in about 1991. When we got our new mobile home last October, we had to break it down and move it of course. I noticed what seemed to be mold on the air chambers.

I finally got around to calling them this morning to find out what to clean them with. I expected to be told an over-the-counter product or for them to sell me something to clean it with.

I was told it was regular household mold that we have all around us and in our upholstered furniture. I'm waiting now for the pitch. They said about 1997 they began to treat their air chambers and foam toppers with anti-mold products. They treat it very seriously and - shocker time - they are replacing the air chambers and foam topper free.

Over twenty years old, definitely out of warranty, and they are going to practically give us a new mattress. What more can you ask.

The category was "Wildlife" and this is my shot. The next hunt will be announced July 12th. See you all there. (well. 500 of you anyway)

Mark Rodriguez entered this in the Colourful category. Now don't you want to go look at the full album right this second ?

I think I'm ready now for the next "Hunt". I'm going to be a "Power Shooter"

Day 9 (out of 10) and this is my last hope for glory. The "HUNT" was on for a picture to add to the Colourful Album and I chose this from about a half dozen ideas. It was my first picture and my first serious attempt to edit a picture seriously. I think I ended up using a little Paint.net and some Pixlr Editor and I had a blast.

My entry for the "Small" album. Again, not a winner but I don't mind because of the highly outrageous competition. You wouldn't believe what some of these people do to get the shots in this "hunt"

My local shopping network (GoLSN) had this posting. The guy called it a Cannon Eos Model 21 and offered it with lens in like new condition for a hundred bucks. I don't know it it's "too good to be true" and cant find any reference to a model 21 online anywhere. It's also about a 45 minute ride to where he is located and frankly, a C-note is a lot of money for me right now.
I'm waiting to see if he'll call or text me with more info but in the mean time... Does anybody recognize this model ? Should I jump on it ?

Okay then. I just dropped out of my second Coursera "introduction to" class. Before I did I went to the user forums and found an ongoing discussion about the frustration level in the class. Several people with post grad degrees in math, chem, and the like were all stumped.

I guess the term "introductory level" doesn't mean what it did when I was in college. Thanks Coursera, now I feel really dumb. I guess I'll just stay  with Kahn and the occasional Stanford class.

I did not get a good shot for this round but it might just be the best day yet.

Today is DAY SEVEN of REVEALS
from the 2014 SPRING FLING round
of the Chrysta Rae Photography Scavenger Hunt!!!
Sponsored by MeFOTO and Induro  

What is the photography scavenger hunt?
Only the most fun you can have with your camera!!

I host this event 4 times a year and invite anyone of any level of photography to participate.
I open the game up to 500 Photographers
I give you 10 items to shoot 
I give you around 2 months to shoot and enter your photos.
Then I have them judged by amazing photographers
(this round's judges were Alan Shapiro Colby Brown Gordon Laing Barry Blanchard Brian Hynes, and our winner from last round, Stefan Riss 

There are 10 categories: TODAY I am posting the "STRANGER WITH A HEART" album - See my profile page for the "PHOTOGRAPHER", "SQUARE",  "LAUGHTER", "JEALOUSY", "FLEXIBILITY" AND "LATHER" albums that have already been revealed.. 

This event is an amazing way to use your camera in new ways. 
It gets you seeing things in new ways.
It helps improve your photography skills, gives you a huge audience, and let's everyone celebrate each other's successes. 

The group of "scavengers" that participate create a community unlike any other on G+. Support, encouragement  friendships even some #huntsmack is enjoyed. 
We become a family over the course of the round. 

This is a negative-free zone - I have zero tolerance for any critiques that are uninvited. 
Please be respectful and remember that every person went out there and took the time to shoot these images 
and put thought into them and tried their best. 
As always, I am proud of every single one of you.

(NONE of the images were taken by ME - this is a collection of images taken by multiple photographers participating in the scavenger hunt. ALL COPYRIGHTS APPLY)

With that - I present to you the "STRANGER WITH A HEART" album,
1 item seen in 185 different ways.

My Babies have left the nest
Back on June 5th , I shared a post about the discovery of a nest of Baby Robins. Nancy Levan and others were interested in seeing them grow.
Did you know....
That the nesting period is only 13 days?
If I had known I would have tried to get more captures. However, I remembered, a chat I had with, Windy Sawczyn , and did not want the parents to abandon the babies, or upset them, in anyway. ;-) 
Some of the pictures are not the best~ I was nervous because I had read, that both parents aggressively defend the nest~ 
For more interesting facts here are a couple of links:

I have looked around to see if I can find them, no luck yet.... will keep an eye open for them ~ :-D
