The CNE–Sand Sculptures 4–Traditional Castle

Here are The final Sculptures.

Please note, All pictures were taken using my Nikon Coolpix P80
Lighting wasn’t Ideal, and Flash wasn’t great.

This was by far my favorite, in the fact that the level of intricate details was  amazing.
in the next few pics, more of this is evident.

The CNE–Sand Sculptures 1–Spooky!

Every year I love to go to the CNE mainly for a few things:

• The AIRSHOW (for which I Plan to take lots of pictures and will post some)
• The Super Dogs Show ( I missed it this trip, hopefully next weekend)
• Browsing the Arts/Crafts Section
• The Botanical / Agricultural displays & Contests.
• The Sand Sculptures!

So without Further delay, Here’s the first post on Sand Sculptures that I found interesting this year.

A Lesson in Plugins

 

So, On the weekend I discovered a nice little issue…
Postings to my blog were no longer updating for whatever reason, Scheduled Postings were just not publishing.

Finally I’ve found the reason why, and have manually updated and publish all the postings (with their original dates).

The Cause:  A scheduling plugin, for posting blog posts.
Why Did it Fail:  It relies on Windows Task Scheduler, instead of the Blogger & WordPress built in schedulers.

So the scheduling portion of the Plugin is Disabled.  I will now post Drafts, and schedule them from the actual blogging platform itself.
