I'm still working on a commission that I can't post a picture of but have started thinking about one I'm about to start working on as time allows.  You may eventually recognise this model and may even be able to guess who it is before I even start;-)

I've been reading a blog lately that is a great read and I highly suggest it.  Check out "Big Commotion Ovah Nah'ting Midwest America meets Mid-West Hawaii" if you haven't been there already.  He mentioned in a comment that he came over through OPE (Kurt's Blog) but we won't hold that against him.

If you haven't been to OPE lately it's worth checking quickly.  You never know how long a new post will remain up.  They tend to last only a couple of days before they are pulled down.  Like nailing jello to a tree we can't keep Kurt pegged down.

2010 BEAR HUG

The local highschools from the Separate School Board attempted to break the Guiness Book Of World Records record for the largest hug and raise money for cancer research.  I'm not sure what the total amount raised was, but they had about 15 thousand students surround part of the Rideau Canal on both sides, crossing over two bridges (The second bridge that was crossed is not visible in any of the photos as it was quite a distance from where I was) to form a large connected group of kids.  Aerial photos were taken to determine if the link was held for at least 20 seconds.  The organizers thought that they may had done it, but "One of Four" was saying that someone paid someone to break the link and jump in the canal.  Who knows.  Both "One and Two of Four" participated.  I believe it took 200 school buses and 2.5 hours to get everyone in place.  The photos are of the preparation and not the actual hug.
