Weston Super Mare. For Imaginary England's "The Horror of an English Beach Holiday" competition.
Alfonso Hernandez (top) and Michael Edmonds (bottom) are suspects in the shooting death of Dasy, a yellow lab who happened to be the pet and companion of American HERO Marcus Luttrell. They, along with two companions, had been driving around shooting dogs to death in Texas. Details and video here. You can read Marcus' story, or part of it, in this WaPo article.
Mr. Luttrell (holding the puppy) is the Lone Survivor, the only man who lived through the largest battle in Navy SEAL history. His story is amazing and should be known by every schoolchild, but of course, looking up to real men isn't allowed anymore.
These troglodytes were running around, shooting dogs for fun (and laughing and joking about it to boot), and then had the GALL to threaten the life of Mr. Luttrell. To Mr. Luttrell, Dasy (the letters in her name stand for the four men killed by the Taliban) was like a daughter, and was given to him to help him get through the rehabilitation he is still undergoing, four years after surviving the battle and dragging himself through the desert while horribly wounded. This dog was his friend and companion. It's awful for *anyone* to lose a pet, as too many of us here have learned in the past year or so, but for this man, especially, who has been through so very much.
Not only did these neanderthals kill Mr. Luttrell's Dasy, they're suspected of murdering several other dogs in the area in a similar fashion. Not only are they suspected of abusing and killing animals, they have hurt and stolen from the owners of these furry companions.
What kind of beast kills someone else's pet, knowing the suffering and heartache it will cause? Disgusting.
Again: if you see either one of these swine, call the police or Texas Rangers (oh, yes, they're involved) immediately.

My good friend, who happens to also be on Flickr, Andrea, challenged me to do an insane self portrait (or selfie as she calls them). So here is my attempt.
Amrum About this sound pronunciation (help·info) (Öömrang North Frisian: Oomram) is one of the North Frisian Islands on the German North Sea coast, south of Sylt and west of Föhr. It is part of the Nordfriesland district in the federal state of Schleswig-Holstein and has appromixately 2,300 inhabitants.
The island is made up of a sandy core of geestland and features an extended beach all along its west coast, facing the open North Sea. The east coast instead borders to mud flats and tidal creeks of the Wadden Sea. Sand dunes are a characteristical part of Amrum's landscape, resulting in a vegetation that is largely made up of heath and shrubs. The island's only forest was planted in 1948. Amrum is a refuge for many species of birds and a number of marine mammals like grey seal or harbour porpoise.
Settlements on Amrum have been traced back to the Neolithic when the area was still a part of the mainland of the Jutland peninsula. During the Middle Ages, Frisian settlers arrived at Amrum and engaged in salt making and seafaring. A part of the modern population still speaks Öömrang, a dialect of the North Frisian language, and Frisian traditions are kept alive.
With the island hosting many endangered species of plants and animals, its soil being largely unfavourable for agriculture and as a popular seaside resort in general, Amrum's population today almost exclusively lives from the tourism industry.
Amrum's area measures 20,4 km2,[2] making it the tenth-largest island of Germany (excluding Usedom which is partly Polish territory).[3] Adding the large Kniepsand beach on the Western shore to the surface area results in a total area of c. 30 km2.[4] Amrum's surface area has however been subject to constant change due to land loss and gain caused by the sea. During the 19th century, a 20th part of the area recorded in the beginning of the century had been lost, but in 1913, a net gain was again recorded at the Kniepsand.[5]
Amrum is one of three isles with a geestland core in Nordfriesland.[6] This sandy core is made up of glacial deposites from the Saalian glacial period.[4] To the east, it borders to the Wadden Sea mud flats of the North Sea. The east side is also where the island's ancient hamlets are situated: Norddorf, Nebel, Süddorf and Steenodde. On the geestland core one can find extended areas of heath and woodland which form a strip that runs along a north-south line on the axis. West of this woodland strip, a region of 838 hectares (2,070 acres) is covered with dunes[1] that run all along the island for about 12 km. The maximal width of this area amounts to more than a kilometre. Amrum's tallest dune near Norddorf is called a Siatler (the settling dune); it reaches 32 m of height.[1] Northward, the dune area extends into a small peninsula called Odde. In the south of Amrum, the newest settlement, Wittdün, is located. West of the dunes, the entire shore of Amrum is made up of the Kniepsand beach; it counts among northern Europe's largest sand beaches. North of Norddorf there is some marshland, another small marsh area can be found between Süddorf and Steenodde.[4] Both of them are protected from the sea by dikes. During low tide it is possible to reach the neighbouring island of Föhr by mudflat hiking.
Amrum's population amounts to about 2,300 and the island is divided into three municipalities: Norddorf, Nebel and Wittdün. They adhere to the Amt Föhr-Amrum.
The oldest traces of settlements in the area date back to the Neolithic with a number of dolmens among them. Also many tomb sites from the Bronze and Iron Ages have been preserved. In the dunes west of the decoy pond, the remainders of an Iron Age hamlet have been found. It is unknown whether the Ambrones, who together with the Cimbri and Teutones threatened Rome around 100 BC, stemmed from this island which back then was still connected to the mainland by a land bridge. In the early Middle Ages the island was colonised by the Frisians. The oldest known record of Amrum island has been found in the Danish Census Book of King Valdemar II of Denmark from 1231.[9]
Next to salt making, agriculture, fishery and whaling, merchant shipping was one of the main sources of income for a long time. Hark Olufs, a sailor from Süddorf who had been enslaved by Algerians in 1724, advanced to the rank of a General until he was allowed to return to his native island in 1736. During the late 19th century, tourism became a rapidly emerging business on Amrum and effectively changed the island's economical structures.
During the Middle Ages, Amrum as well as all of North Frisia proper belonged to the so-called Uthlande, the Outer Lands, which only successively became parts of the Danish realm or the Duchy of Schleswig. After the conflicts between the Danish kings and the counts of Schauenburg about the rule over Schleswig, Amrum and western Föhr became an enclave of Denmark and contrary to neighbouring areas, it was not any longer a part of the Duchy of Schleswig. This state endured until 1864, when Denmark lost Schleswig to Prussia after the Second Schleswig War. For a brief period after that war Amrum was ruled together by Prussia and Austria, yet in 1867 the island came under Prussian rule and was made a part of the province of Schleswig-Holstein. At first, Amrum formed a municipality within the district of Tondern. In 1920, the Schleswig Plebiscites resulted in a clear majority vote for Amrum staying with Germany, while Tondern fell back to Denmark. Until 1972, Amrum belonged to the Südtondern district which then merged into the newly created district of Nordfriesland.
During the 19th century, Amrum still had a considerably lower population than today. Church records from 1821 to 1833 show an average population of 587, a census in 1860 noted 642 inhabitants, and in 1871, the population had dropped to 571.[10] Among other factors, the decrease owed to the fact that large parts of Amrum's population had emigrated — mainly to the United States. Today, more people with ancestors from Amrum live in the United States than there are on Amrum proper, and the connections between Amrum and the U.S. are still being cultivated.
Eventually, tourism began only to flourish on the island when a seaside resort was established in Wittdün in 1890, which also led to a rapid increase in population.[11]
On 29 October 1998, the cargo ship Pallas ran aground off Amrum, causing a severe oil spill in the region.
Amrum's vegetation is determined by the sea and by the different types of landscapes on the island, most of which are low in nutrients. In parts of the dune belt and on the Kniepsand marram grass or sea wormwood grow, as well as numerous other sand-loving plants like sheep's bit which will bloom in sheltered areas between the dunes.[16] Also some stunted pines, bent by the sea wind, and Salix repens, the creeping willow can be found there. Until the 1970s, the rare sea holly could still be seen in the dunes.
East of there are heaths and conifer or mixed forests. In some dune slacks, peat bogs can be found which occasionally host the carnivorous plant common sundew.[16] The once abundant marsh gentian vanished during the 1990s.
The Amrum forest was mainly planted in 1948 on an area of heath. Until then only a few forested regions could be found around the decoy ponds. With 180 hectares, Amrum has the largest ratio of forested land of all Germany's North Sea islands. Mainly pines, firs and birches can be found here. Meanwhile, the forest has largely lost its artificial nature. So one will encounter numerous plants on all levels and many species of fungi. The "geestland", east of the forest, is mostly used for farming. Its grassland grows plants such as Harebell (Campanula rotundifolia), Sea Thrift (Armeria maritima) and Carthusian Pink (Dianthus carthusianorum) and several species of hawkweed.[16]
In the small marshlands, some sedges and the ragged robin may be seen.[16] Here is the most nutritious soil on Amrum. Even the soil of Amrum's gardens is so low in nutrients that only few sorts of plants, e.g. hollyhock, will grow there without fertilising.
On the salt marshes along the eastern shore of Amrum, many salt tolerant species can be found. Pioneer plants such as Salicornia europaea and alkali grasses, grow on and stabilize the mud flats.
Please help me guys :) I put question marks on some of the clothes.. do you have any information about what Barbie they belong to?

Thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart for each of your vote :)
We think this is a picture of May Bourne (or possibly her daughter), a relative of Stewart's. We think it was taken in Kenya where the family worked for - again, we think - Brooke Bond, or one of the big plantation owners. Whether the licence plate is English and exported or Kenyan, don't know, but have just discovered that the first Kenyan reg was 1938. Any info gratefully received...we don't know for sure who, where, even what car! If the licence plate tells you anything, we would be pleased to know...
Thanks for all the information - see the trail below!
At first glance, you may think this coal train is coming toward the photographer. You might also notice that the headlights on MRL 290 are on dim. These three MRL units are actually manned helpers pushing hard on this coal train, which is climbing Bozeman Pass. The coal train is running in a 3x(0)x4 configuration. Once at the top of the pass, the three MRL units will cut off the train and return to Livingston Yard.

lots of love,
FAKE TEAM
We are a group of Chinese and foreign students from Yunnan University and had a chance to visit Yunnan’s poorhouse on Laborday. We spend two days in the little Miao minority village Dong JiaShan in LuQuan County. Being used to a life in China’s cities the grinding poverty and neediness we found there was beyond our imagination. The next bigger village is a strenuous 1 ½ hour walk on foot; people live in poor housing without water supplies. Because of the poor water condition they can only grow very few vegetables and wash dishes in the same water they used for cooking. The clothes of the Miao are all covered by a thick layer of dust and mud and people lack even the most basic items like soap.
The problem that struck us most is that the future of the Miao children is unsecure. We had the chance to talk to one little girl named Yao Sheng Qi. She could neither write her own name, nor knew her own age. She only went to school for one year, after that she had stay home to care for her little brother.
Despite their misery the people in MengJiaShan village never complained of their hardship and where probably the most hospitable people we ever met. After returning to Kunming we decided the try to give something back to try to change their situation for the better. This is why we need your help:
We want to collect donations and bring them to MengJiaShan village. Chinese and foreign students in Kunming must have many articles which they don’t need anymore, because they prepare to leave Yunnan Province or plan to go home. Those things might be of little or no use to you, but could make a big difference for the villagers of MengJiaShan. We thought of clothes in good condition, kitchen supplies, and simple (study) books for the children. If you have any other ideas, please share them with us!
We will collect items from today on to July 1.
For further question or to make an appointment to deliver the donations, please get in touch with us.
If you have friends who could also be interested in helping Yunnans poorest, please spread the news.
