Unimaginable what the Haitians are having to cope with. Sparing our thoughts and prayers for a nation devastated by a natural disaster goes a long way, but making a small donation to the Red Cross or another such organization would perhaps help in bringing them off their knees sooner by providing them with much needed aid in the form of basics like water, food, medicine and shelter.
It's as easy as texting the word "Haiti" to 90999 to donate to the Red Cross International Relief. $10 is added to your monthly phone bill, and every single dollar goes towards the relief efforts. Foregoing your Starbucks and blueberry muffin for even just one day will go a long way to helping those in desperate need...
**Text "Yele" to the number 501501 to make a $5 contribution to another non-profit organization set up by Haitian musician Wyclef Jean. ANY amount will help.

Your hands to my hips cause aches,
Your tongue to my lips, ruin,
Your skin against mine, death.
The problem is, even in your absence
I am at war with myself, with you, with life.
I am a fucked up beautiful thing that will destroy you
Even if I don’t want too, even if I try desperately not too.
I, I am a disaster always happening.

The Disaster Artist is a new movie based on the book of the same name. It recounts the making of Tommy Wiseau's cinematic disasterpiece The Room. If you've never witnessed The Room, I highly recommend it. It's epically terrible!
There was a disaster at my Lego City Police Station today. I used the police station for a different photo and as I was returning it to the shelf I shifted my weight slightly and the police station broke in half and fell. It only fell a couple of feet to the table but it was a big emergency for the police officers that were inside.
Medical personnel were brought in and the injured officers were taken to Lego City Hospital, conveniently located on a nearby shelf :-) I repaired the police station ASAP and it's now fully functional again.
Fortunately no one appears to be seriously injured but I think they are still annoyed at me.
I was highly amused by her tank-top. If only people really did come with warning labels in real-life.

One of the worst Rail Accidents to happen in the North West of England occurred on 4th December 1984 when the 1E79 10.05am Liverpool Lime Street to Scarborough express train smashed into the back of a train of fuel oil tankers at Eccles, Greater Manchester. The fuel oil train, the 6E85 09.00am service from Stanlow Oil Refinery to Leeds hauled by Class 47, 47310 was just accelerating away from a distant signal when it was struck from behind by the Scarborough express hauled by ‘Peak’ class 45, 45147. Upon impact the rear oil tanker was thrown to one side, however the next two oil tankers were thrown into the air and landed upon the class 45 loco and the first passenger carriage causing a massive explosion. Unfortunately the driver of the class 45 and one passenger were killed instantly with a further 68 passengers taken to hospital suffering from major injuries. Fortunately there were no passengers in the first carriage or the death toll would have been much higher, however one further passenger died later in hospital. The following enquiry into the accident was inconclusive as there had been a problem with signal failures in the area that day but this could not be pin pointed to the cause as the signal which had been passed at danger by the Scarborough express was in working order when it was later examined. These series of photos were taken by my father the day after the accident when the salvage operation was taking place.
