IDLE TIME is digital art; a fine-art series of video depictions that speaks to a contemporary idea of what a portrait is. Today’s society consumes new information digitally, instantly, constantly. The viewer expects to be stimulated by streams of content before attention is diverted. IDLE TIME adds a dimension to standard portraiture.
This is an interactive art piece using portraits which activate using motion sensors.
The photography was beautifully shot by Braden Summers.

Construction of Airport Freeway
Construction of Airport Freeway
Image by Euless Historical Preservation Committee
When Euless was incorporated in 1953, there was only one paved highway connecting it with adjoining communities. This was State Highway 183 which later was re-designated and today is Stage Highway 10, also known as Euless Boulevard. What is today designated as State Highway 183, or Airport Freeway, as it passes through Euless was built in 1969. When it was built it passed through tunnels that crossed under the runways of Great Southwest Airport on the east side of Euless. In 1989 when Airport Freeway east of State Highway 360 was widened to six lanes, TxDot removed the old runway tunnel marking the end of an historic area.
This photograph looks west from what today is the intersection of Fuller – Wiser and Airport Freeway. Slightly to the right of center the east side of the Methodist Church is visible. At this time the population of Euless was about 5,000 people. The main intersection and center of business activity was the intersection of what today is Main Street and Euless Boulevard (Highway 10).
When Airport Freeway was constructed, several buildings were demolished to make way for the road. Among them were eight homes and five commercial structures.
Traffic Count on Airport Freeway has increased dramatically since it was built In 1971 there were 8,300 vehicles a day passing through Euless on this highway. In 2006 this had increased to 140,000 vehicles each day.
There are four closed circuit video cameras and four electronic message boards on the highway within the City of Euless.
Mystufflostandfound.com Releases New Guide To Sailing Through Airport Security
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) March 12, 2013
Airport security is important but can be stressful. Following these simple guidelines from mystufflostandfound.com will streamline the process to get travelers and their belongings quickly and securely on their way and a global lost and found service if any valuables become lost.
Be Prepared
1. Avoid wearing clothes with snaps, metal buttons, or loose fitting clothes or headgear that could potentially conceal a weapon.
2. While waiting in line, remove piercings, belt buckles, watches, bracelets, change, keys and any other metal items. Temporarily store them in a carry-on bag.
3. Shoes still need to be removed at security. Slip-ons are faster and easier.
4. Know the 3-1-1 Rule for liquids: 3.4 ounce (100ml) bottle or less; 1 quart-sized, clear plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin.
5. Medications are not subject to the 3.4 ounce (100 ml) limit but should be easily accessible for inspection.
6. Check ahead with TSA about questionable items (see “valuable contacts” below).
7. Have a government issued photo ID and boarding pass in-hand before entering the security line.
8. Security rules vary overseas. Be respectful and calm.
Laptops and Other Electronics Need Extra Protection
1. Special “checkpoint-friendly” laptop bags (no metal, x-ray friendly) eliminate the need to remove the laptop at checkpoints.
2. Security may request that laptops and other electronics be turned on to demonstrate that they function normally so batteries should be kept charged.
3. Protect laptops and electronics from loss with Okoban® tracker tags available from mystufflostandfound.com
Protect Valuable Against Loss with Okoban
1. Travelers are more likely to lose things. More than 12,000 laptops are left behind at airport security checkpoints every week in the U.S. alone. Unfortunately, less than one-third of these are returned because finding the owner is just too difficult.
2. Almost all “lost” items get found by someone. Most finders, including the TSA, will return the items if there is a secure, simple way to connect to the owner. Okoban does this.
3. For just a few dollars, Okoban’s global lost and found service adds protection and security for laptops, phones, keys, cameras, passports, credit cards, luggage and other valuables and is available at http://www.mystufflostandfound.com.
4. Okoban tracker tags from mystufflostandfound.com connect finders with owners quickly, securely and privately, anywhere in the world. Finders simply enter the tracker tag’s Unique Identification (UID) code and the recovery location on the Okoban website. The system then immediately notifies the owner, anywhere in the world, with a secure email and text message of the found valuable and its recovery location.
5. “Now, with Okoban and mystufflostandfound.com any lost cell phone or other valuable can find its owner,” says Gordon Burns, CEO of My Stuff Lost and Found. “Often, the lost valuable finds the owner before the owner realizes the item is lost,” says Burns.
6. Okoban is the only property registration system linked to the airline industry tracing system used by over 400 airline companies in over 2,200 airports worldwide. They are directly linked to the SITA/IATA World Tracer system. WorldTracer is the world’s leading automated service for tracing lost and mishandled baggage and property.
Traveling with Children
1. Take children out of baby carriers before getting to the metal detector.
2. Children twelve and under can leave their shoes on during screening.
3. Traveling with children is especially hectic. Protect valuables from loss with Okoban tracker tags from mystufflostandfound.com
Plan Ahead
1. Use Internet resources to keep track of schedule changes and security wait times.
2. Communicate with TSA personnel if you have equipment or a condition that require special consideration. Discreet “Disability Notification Cards” are available from TSA.
3. Turn off any electronics that might distract from the screening process.
4. The shortest line isn’t always the best option. Look for the fastest moving line.
5. Travelers that qualify for special programs can streamline the security process. Google “Global Entry”, “Trusted Traveler Programs”, “TSA Pre-Check Program” and “Frequent-Flyer Programs”.
Valuable Contacts
