Judges 16:23, 1 Samuel 5:2-7, & 1 Chronicles 10:10
Dagon is the Philistines god. He is described in 1 Samuel in the bible. Basically he is a hand crafted god they worship, supposedly half fish half flesh (human), Recently we have been talking about compromise in our church and how it can take over our lives and turn us away from God or displease Him. This idol, Dagon is a symbol of this, representing that we are enough fish to be with believers and act like them, and enough flesh to be with worldly people (non believers who dont follow Jesus). Its when we are two faced or hypocrits, and after these two years I decided to be all in for God. This drawing is a tattoo for my Youth Pastor, who is an amazing guy and asked if I could draw this up for him as a tat. I took it on and its definitely affected me as well. If you have any more questions please contact me at imagine_my_world@yahoo.com. This was first drawn in pencil then taken to photoshop where I edited and finalized it.
This image is a "compromise" between a hard astrophotography process - primarily using Astro Flats Pro and more conventional image.
The slender setting crescent moon created a LOT of light and made it a little harder to get things right, on the other hand, it also helped to light the scene.
The "model" in the lower right is also the photographer (me).
Finally, our recent article here features a cropped image from this same series.

I can learn to resist
Anything but temptation
I can learn to coexist
With anything but pain
I can learn to compromise
Anything but my desires
I can learn to get along
With all the things I can't explain
I can learn to resist
Anything but frustration
I can learn to persist
With anything but aiming low
I can learn to close my eyes
To anything but injustice
I can learn to get along
With all the things I don't know ~ Rush
This is my standard motif for testing the capabilities of a new camera or lens for architecture. The combination of the X-T10 and the Samyang 12mm works very good! Starbursts are not my favourite, but there is always a compromise ...

Jerusalem, Israel: The privacy, originally provided by this curtain, hung over a gate to a patio facing the street, was gradually compromised, having, over a number of years, been torn to tatters.

But if you compromise the process, you’re an asshole when you start out and an asshole when you get back.”
Yvon Chouinard from the film 180° South
That quote made me laugh so hard because it's terribly true -- It's referring to all the people who climb Everest only because they have enough money to do it without significant effort vs. those who really rough it.
I have great respect for Chouinard and Tompkins. If you haven't seen this documentary, I highly recommend it. Make sure you tuck your passport in a safe beforehand, or you'll be booking a flight to Patagonia during the film! :)
Hope you all had a great Valentine's Day!

So I am going to start uploading some of the shoots (wedding, senior portrait, maternity, random) I've done over the last year. I will probably put most of them at the end of my stream, just so as not to have a ton of pages of new stuff at the beginning of my photostream. I will be moving them up a few at a time, but for now, they will just hang out there! Since I don't have a website yet, I want to make sure that I at least have most of what I've done in one place. If you have a second, feel free to take a look at my new Portrait Work Collection!
Jumping over to the other side of the river now! This is Carlo's Bake Shop, which is featured on TLC's "Cake Boss" and is located in Hoboken, NJ. We spent Friday evening here with some friends and on our walk from the PATH train to meet them we stopped here. There wasn't really a line so we were able to walk right up and get a few cupcakes and the best cannoli I've ever had! We even saw a few people from the show inside, including the Cake Boss, Buddy Valastro! This is a 5 handheld exposure HDR processed with HDR and Color Efex.
Thanks for stopping by everyone and have a great Tuesday!
I don't mind invitations, but please no big, shiny, flashing, glitter graphics, they will be deleted. Also, please contact me if you would like to use my pictures for any reason, as all rights are reserved. Thanks!

Last November I had an idea how to fit all the PF gear - Battery Box, Receiver, and an L-Motor - into my 2-6-6-2t design. I made some hasty mods to it and gave it some test runs at the 2019 Rails Along the Rio Grande. Day 1 had some problems, which got fixed, and Day 2 it worked mostly better.
Since then I've been meaning to getting back around to my Mallet design again. The To-Do list focused on improving the drive train, improving the shaping of the water tanks, lowering the boiler a plate, and just general detailing updates. My previous build of the 2-6-6-2t was really just a mod of my original 2-6-6-2 locomotive - which, as few may know, was actually my very first 1/48 LEGO train build. So it was high time to revisit it.
I think I'm pretty happy now with the shapes and proportions. Needing to house all the PF components, especially the battery box, have made for some compromises with the undercarriage and it's certainly a tight for for wiring. But I think it's just about time to start upgrading the physical build.
There are some handrails still missing in the digital design, as well as the steam pipes back to the high-pressure pistons. Also missing is the valve gear - one of the things I've most wanted to add, and something I'd wanted to add since I very first built it.
A bit of a compromise as Ultra-Doux is not a brand but one of the shampoos in the Garnier range, with active charcoal and nigella flower oil. But it was the only U I could lay my hands on. The blue flower on the label is definitely nigella, but on the English label, which I found by googling, it says cumin seed oil, so either they have used a different ingredient or the translation is wrong. In Switzerland labels are in French and German, and sometimes Italian, too. Usually in French it's charbon actif, not magnétique, who's doing these translations?
With an awesome sunset brewing and a cold, cold wind blowing, I decided not to take a trek to the beach level, instead shooting from the cliffs over Pebble beach. I just couldn't fathom a day off from my camera. Crescent City, California USA

You think, so you speak.
...So you exist.
Never compromise your freedom to speak up.
21 February is the International Mother Language Day. In 1952, young souls of Bangladesh embraced death while protesting for our freedom to speak in 'Bengali', our very own mother language.
Everyday there seems to be another social networking site demanding our time and compromising our privacy. We are faced with the dilemma of where to invest our time to build up our social network: Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Google +, etc.
For the next couple of months I will be immersed in the original social networking...backpacking or in my case flashpacking.
Backpacking is a term associated with low-cost, independent international travel. Flashpacking is backpacking but with a bigger budget. Usually the flashpacking crowd are individuals who have backpacked in the past but now are a little older and have more disposable income. On the other hand, because they have a background in backpacking, they realize the benefits of budget travel, but also the little quirks associated with it too. Shared bathrooms with clogged shower drains, sleeping in bunk beds in a huge dormitory with twenty snorers, riding public transportation with a fellow backpacker who hasn’t showered in a week and with a local whose pet (i.e. rooster) attempts to poke your eye out at every opportunity.
Occasionally I will still engage in my backpacking roots by staying in a hostel and sleeping in a dormitory. It’s a great way to meet other travelers and to get up to date travel information. For the most part, I stay in guest houses with private rooms with a bathroom and hot shower. The only snoring is my own.
Flashpackers also happen to travel with laptops, iPods and fancy Canon cameras which perfectly describes me.
Traveling independently on a budget is a great way to network with fellow travelers and locals. Unlike Facebook, Twitter and Google + you don’t post photos from ten years ago when we were thirty pounds lighter and had less facial wrinkles. What you see is what you get. You talk, exchange travel stories and share where you’ve been and where you’re going. The best part is there’s no typing involved, thus giving your fingers a rest.
I started my trip a month ago in the beautiful city-state of Singapore. The moment I landed in their world class airport I fell in love with the city. What’s not to love? The diversity of cultures and religion, the amazing food, clean streets, low crime and they hang (that’s right hang) people who are involved in any drug related crimes. My type of city.
The moment I arrived at my hostel I met John from England. He had been in Singapore for over a week and offered to give me a quick tour of the city. We covered Little India, Burgis Market and the Clarke Quay. We had dinner at a great hawker stall and then headed out to the Marina Bay Sands Resort. Billion dollar views and the construction costs to match it.
This is a photograph of the ArtScience Museum (part of the Marina Bay Sands Resort) with the Singapore skyline in the background. I shot this handheld as I didn’t bring my normal Manfrotto tripod for space considerations (I did bring my table top Manfrotto tripod but I didn’t have a place to elevate it for this shot). A great introduction to a great city.
Stay tuned for more of my adventures in Southeast Asia.
Happy Travels!

Finally feeling human again today; I got up from my perch on the couch and ventured around the rest of the house. Managed to get two closets and two rooms gutted and cleaned out.
It's not all I'd imagined I'd get done during my week off, but it's something and at least I'm not feeling like the whole week was a waste!
After getting through the closets and bedrooms, I ventured over to Madeleine's place for visits, and when Mouse jumped up to the window, I knew I had a photo for today. I can't believe I'd never thought to shoot through the plant before to get this effect!
The tones are a little off, but with the clouded light coming through the window there wasn't too much I could do about it, and I kind of like the effect it gives the photo so I'm not going to argue with it.
Anyway, hope everyone has had a good day.

At least he's got a job for life
Get born, get school, get job, get car
Pay tax and find a wife

If you're not living on the edge
You take up too much room"

'Highlife' consisted of 12 different accessories packs and wasn't included in the fashion range from that year, even if two of the packs contained clothes.
This tennis outfit is more like a swimsuit with a mini wrap around skirt -that doesn't really wrap so much as just cover one of her hips. It's tied in the back on the box illustration, but that would leave her behind in full view, so we decided on this compromise.
It included a sun visor, a racket with a cute "S" ornate cover, 2 pink tennis balls and pink tennis shoes.

By the mid-1960s, 50 percent of all Ferraris produced were being built with four seats, and following on from the success of its first such model, the 250 GTE of 1960, Ferrari introduced the 330 GT 2+2 in January 1964. The newcomer's steel tube chassis was 2" longer in the wheelbase than that of its predecessor and featured independent front suspension and a live rear axle. Beneath the 330's more-spacious Pininfarina coachwork was a 300bhp, 4-litre V12 coupled to a four-speed overdrive gearbox. Its replacement, the 365 GT 2+2, was launched at the Paris Salon in October 1967. Sleekly styled in the manner of the limited edition 500 Superfast, the 365 GT 2+2 was the most refined Ferrari to date.
Based on that of the contemporary 330 GTC, the chassis was made up of Ferrari's familiar combination of oval and round steel tubing, and as well as featuring independent suspension all round (for the first time on a Ferrari 2+2) boasted Koni's hydro-pneumatic self-levelling system at the rear. Further refinements included mounting the engine and drivetrain in rubber bushes to insulate the car's occupants from noise and vibration, and offering ZF power-assisted steering and air conditioning as standard equipment. Developing 320bhp in its 365 GT incarnation, the well-proven 4.4-litre V12 engine was coupled to a five-speed gearbox, while the car's blistering performance - top speed 150mph, 0-60mph in 7.0 seconds - was restrained by Girling ventilated discs all round. A total of 800 cars had been completed by the time production ceased in 1971.
Endowed with fine handling and a supple ride, the 365GT 2+2 was rated by Car magazine as "the most civilised Ferrari yet". Impressed by the car's build quality, Car & Driver reckoned it, "prototypical of the new Ferraris where everything fits and falls together accurately, as needs must if Ferrari is to survive in the US market". The respected American motoring magazine found the overall effect to be "one of a very real and serious, ultra luxurious, high-speed touring machine," yet no compromises had been made in the handling department: the 365 GT 2+2 remained very much a driver's car in the traditional Ferrari manner. Road & Track agreed: "Out on the open road this car really comes into its own, as does any Ferrari; the power steering makes it seem light on its feet and the giant Michelin XVR tyres furnish high cornering power with little fuss."
This elegant Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 was purchased by Mr Fornas in December 2014 from the well-known French classic car specialist, Cecil Cars (see bills on file). Since purchase Mr Fornas has had the car regularly maintained by Ferrari specialist Dino Sport in Bezons, France (bills on file). At 23,410 kilometres the following components were replaced: rear shock absorbers; fuel pumps; fuel lines; electrical wiring (for the fuel pumps); and radiator fans. In September 2016, the gearbox was overhauled, and a new clutch installed. In August 2017, the engine was dismantled for a full overhaul, in the course of which new pistons were fitted, for a total of €46,781.96 (bills and photographic record on file). Also, some minor cosmetic work was undertaken by Cecil Car's workshop with some attention to the wiring. Since then, the car has been regularly maintained by Mr Fornas' local specialist. The current odometer reading is 26,652 kilometres. As well as the aforementioned documentation, the Ferrari comes with a detailed and copiously illustrated Rapport d'Expertise from Michel Gicquel, which was commissioned by Mr Fornas in November 2016. A wonderful opportunity to acquire a very well cared for example of this highly desirable Ferrari Gran Turismo.
Italien / Toskana - Pitigliano
Pitigliano is a town in the province of Grosseto, located about 80 kilometres (50 mi) south-east of the city of Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy.
The quaint old town is known as the little Jerusalem, for the historical presence of a Jewish community that has always been well integrated into the social context and that has its own synagogue.
History
Pitigliano and its area were inhabited in Etruscan times but the first extant written mention of it dates only to 1061. In the early 13th century it belonged to the Aldobrandeschi family and by the middle of the century it had become the capital of the surrounding county.
In 1293 the county passed to the Orsini family, signalling the start of 150 years of on-again/off-again wars with Siena, at the end of which, in 1455, a compromise of sorts was reached: Siena acknowledged the status of county to Pitigliano, which in exchange placed herself under the sovereignty of Siena.
From then onwards the history of Pitigliano resorbs into the gradually wider ambit first of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany (1562) then of the united Kingdom of Italy.
Population
Synagogue and Jewish community
For several hundred years Pitigliano was a frontier town between the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and, to the south, the Papal States. For this reason, the town was home to a flourishing and long-lived Jewish community, mostly made up by people fleeing from Rome during the Counterreformation persecutions. Jews of the town used one of the caves for their ritual Passover matzoh bakery, the "forno delle azzime" described in detail in Edda Servi Machlin's "Classic Cuisine of the Italian Jews." After the promulgation of racial laws under Nazi influence, all the Jews of the town reportedly escaped capture with the help of their Christian neighbors. Although there are almost no Jews left in town, not enough to provide a minyan, the synagogue (1598, with furnishings of the 17th and 18th centuries) is still officiated from time to time. It was restored in 1995.
Main sights
Etruscan remains
Pitigliano is home to a series of artificial cuts into the tufa rock to varying depths ranging from less than 1 metre (3.3 ft) to over 10 metres (33 ft). At the bottom of these cuts (Italian: tagliate) are carved channels, apparently for water, although some take the form of steps. The purpose of the cuts is not known: the three main theories are that they were roads, quarries, or water conveyance schemes; they radiate outward from the base of the butte of Pitigliano, down to the rivers then back to the top of the plateau that surrounds the town. A few very brief Etruscan inscriptions are said to have been found on the walls of the cuts, but are ill documented.
Medieval and Renaissance structures
The Cathedral of Santi Pietro e Paolo, Pitigliano.
The church of Santa Maria.
The Orsini Fortress, which achieved its present state in 1545 but represents a reworking of the earlier medieval fortress
the town's walls and gates, the best preserved of which is the Porta Sovana.
remains of a tall and very visible aqueduct at the very top of the butte.
Tempietto
The Tempietto ("Small temple") is a small cave, probably of natural origin but considerably reworked by human hands, lying a few hundred meters outside the central district, yet far above the Lente valley. Its purpose and builders remain unknown. Locally it is referred to as a "paleochristian tempietto", but this has never been confirmed; it must date to Late Antiquity or the early Middle Ages, although it may replace an Etruscan or Roman arcosolium.
(Wikipedia)
Pitigliano ist eine italienische Gemeinde mit 3732 Einwohnern (Stand 31. Dezember 2019) im Südosten der Provinz Grosseto in der Toskana, zwischen steil eingeschnittenen Tälern gelegen mit einem mittelalterlichen Stadtkern.
Die Gemeinde ist Mitglied der Vereinigung I borghi più belli d’Italia (Die schönsten Orte Italiens).
Geografie
Der Tuffstein dieser Gegend ist auf die vulkanische Vergangenheit dieses Teils der Toskana zurückzuführen. Etwa 20 km von Pitigliano entfernt liegt der Bolsena-See, eine Caldera von etwa 14 km Durchmesser. Sie ist das Ergebnis enormer vulkanischer Explosionen, die sich vor etwa 300.000 Jahren ereignet haben. Der Monte Amiata, ein 1738 m hoher erloschener Vulkan, ist von Pitigliano aus zu sehen, im Winter ist er ein beliebtes Skigebiet. Pitigliano selbst liegt an den Flüssen Lente und Meleta.
Einziger Ortsteil (Frazione) ist Casone (524 m, ca. 130 Einwohner).
Zu den Nachbargemeinden gehören Farnese (VT), Ischia di Castro (VT), Latera (VT), Manciano, Sorano und Valentano (VT).
Geschichte
Die Stadt liegt im ursprünglich etruskischen Stammland und ist auf einen ca. 300 m hoch gelegenen Tuffsteinfelsen gebaut. Der Tuff ist auch das hier übliche Baumaterial, das in Ziegelform aus dem Fels geschnitten wird. Pitigliano ist von den tiefen Schluchten der Bäche Lente und Meleta umflossen, die sich im Lauf der Zeit in das Plateau geschnitten haben. Zusätzlich zu den natürlichen Canyons finden sich rund um die Stadt viele sogenannte „Vie Cave“, Wegsysteme der Etrusker, die in den Tuffstein gegraben wurden. Diese Etruskerstraßen sind zum Teil mit ausgeklügelten Entwässerungssystemen versehen.
Die erste schriftliche Erwähnung der Stadt stammt aus dem Jahr 1061. Im frühen 13. Jahrhundert gehörte die Stadt zum Besitz der Aldobrandeschi und wurde zum Hauptort der Umgebung. 1293 ging sie dann an die Orsini, Anfang des 17. Jahrhunderts an die Medici, welche sie 1604 in das Großherzogtum Toskana eingliederten. Im Zuge des Risorgimento im 19. Jahrhundert wurde sie Teil des Königreichs Italien.
Die Geschichte der Stadt ist stärker als an anderen Orten der Maremma von Juden mitgeprägt, die im 16. Jahrhundert in Pitigliano Zuflucht vor Verfolgung und Vertreibung fanden. Ein Verein kümmert sich um das jüdische Erbe der Stadt, so dass die Synagoge und das jüdische Viertel einer seit 1500 bestehenden sephardischen Gemeinde („Klein-Jerusalem“, Piccola Gerusalemme) in der Altstadt heute restauriert und wieder zu besichtigen sind.
Sehenswürdigkeiten
Die Kathedrale „Santi Pietro e Paolo“ geht auf das Mittelalter zurück. Im 16. Jahrhundert und danach wurde sie stark verändert und hat heute eine spätbarocke Fassade. Enthält zwei Werke von Pietro Aldi. Der Campanile, im Kern ein zum Kirchturm umgebauter mittelalterlicher Geschlechterturm, überragt weithin sichtbar die Stadt.
Die Kirche San Rocco ist die älteste Kirche der Stadt und wurde schon 1274 urkundlich erwähnt. An der äußeren Nordwand befindet sich ein Steinrelief aus dem 12. Jahrhundert.
Der Palazzo Orsini wurde am einzigen natürlichen Zugang zur Stadt als Verteidigungsanlage errichtet und wurde über mehrere Jahrhunderte immer wieder erweitert. In der Burg befindet sich heute der Bischofssitz, ein Museum religiöser Kunst sowie das städtische archäologische Museum.
Der beeindruckende Aquädukt wurde in der Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts begonnen, aber erst im 17. Jahrhundert unter den Medici vollendet.
Im Bereich des ehemaligen jüdischen Viertels sind die Synagoge, sowie die Überreste einer Mikwe, einer koscheren Schlachterei und Bäckerei zu besichtigen.
Rund um Pitigliano finden sich eine große Anzahl von Grabstätten der Etrusker, deren bekannteste die „Tomba Ildebranda“ ist. Sie ist fälschlich benannt nach dem berühmten Ildebrando von Sovana, der im 11. Jahrhundert als Papst Gregor VII. in die Kirchengeschichte einging. Die Ausgrabungsstätte ist öffentlich zugänglich.
Nahe Pititgliano befinden sich Via Cave.
Ein weiteres bedeutendes Zeugnis der etruskischen Kultur in der Umgebung der Stadt sind die Reste der Siedlung „Poggio Buco“ zwischen Pitigliano und Manciano, wo sich auch ein Museum befindet, das sich mit der Geschichte der Gegend befasst.

Had to make a lot of compromises with him, juggling with the only DB grey pieces i have left.., but will remake at a later date.
Hope you like him :-)
I wonder if you guys have ever heard of this fighter plane project.
This is one of the many variants of the IAR-95 Spey, a Romanian fighter/Ground Attack Aircraft project developed during the 80s.
During the Cold War, Romania followed a Strategy of non-alignment, receiving weapons, funds and technology from both the Western and Eastern Blocks. To equip their Air Force, they started the development of this aircraft. A number of configurations were experimented, some with two engines and dual fins, some with a design more focused for Aerial Superiority than Multi-role/Ground Attack.
Eventually, with the end of the Cold War, funds to develop this aircraft vanished and the Aircraft was never built. Today, the Romanian Air Force operates a Squadron of ex-Portuguese F-16s and some Mig-21s.
About the model:
The aircraft features retractable landing gear, 9 external supports for bombs and missiles, access to the cockpit and many other details.
On the leading edge of the wings, I had the option of putting some green tiles but this gave a “dented” look that I didn´t like and I´m happy with how it looks (more streamlined). I also had to compromise a little due to the small quantity of Medium Dark Flesh parts that I have.
