Would you believe that the CSX boxcar might be the only object that hasn't changed? Shoot back to mid 1997, where a Conrail "breakup" was just talk, CP SD40's outnumbered everything else on their roster, and the old gas tank still stood next to Basin Street.
Conrail ALNS has just pulled up to the signal at CP Burn. They'll get their paperwork, a break test, and call Conrail's Reading Line and be on their way west to Hagerstown, MD. Even though this is only twenty years ago, the 5668 is now owned by NREX (And currently stored), the C39-8 has been scrapped, ALNS/NSAL was abolished after the NS acquisition of Conrail, and the Allentown UGI Gas Tower was razed in 2003.

In Alaska, more so than elsewhere I think, we use the term “breakup” as both a noun and a verb. In the latter sense as a description of the ice going out on the rivers, which can be quite dramatic and occurs at different times depending on any number of circumstances. But we also say “Breakup” to refer to a season, in many ways its more or equally significant than “Spring.” After the calm and soft season of winter, breakup is a raucous and mad rush, as if to say there’s no time for spring, let’s get to summer straight on. Breakup is rather late this year, in fact it may be record setting late.
This is the little Chena River, a relatively small stream, the larger rivers are still mostly locked in ice. This shot was made from the Nordale Road bridge looking upstream. You will notice the ice jam up above, in populated areas near the river those things can cause some real problems.
The breakup of the Soviet Union left Kazakhstan with large numbers of tactical reconnaissance and strike aircraft, plus a heavy bomber regiment at Chargan Air Base near Semipalatinsk with 40 Tupolev Tu-95M5 strategic missile carrier aircraft. However, the newly-formed republic had no tactical units at all and had no use for the bombers. Wanting to keep on friendly terms with Kazakhstan so they could continue to use the Baikonur Space Centre and several military training grounds in the country, Russia exchanged the bombers for a suitable number of Su-27 and MiG-29 and Su-25 fighters from Russian Air Force stocks. By 1995, 73 combat aircraft were delivered including 38 Flankers. The Su-27s entered service with the 60th IAP in 1999 and by 2000 the Kazakhstan Air Force was reformed into the Republic of Kazakhstan Air Defence Force with aviation bases as the primary elements in its order of battle, not air regiments. The 60th IAP was transformed into the 604th AvB and stationed at Taldykorgan, with some Flankers being transferred to Qarahandy-Sary Arka International airport in order to have a more even distribution of fighters across the country.
In September 2007, the Kazakhstan Air Defence Force sent ten of its Su-27s to 558th ARZ in Baranovichi, Belarus for upgrades to the BM2 standard. The N001 radar was upgraded with the actual beam and ground mapping modes and increased its compatibility with the R-77 active radar homing AAM and the Kh-31A anti-shipping missile. The cockpit featured an EFIS with colour liquid-crystal MFDs, an enhanced navigation system, a data collection/transmission system, and data cockpit recorders. The first BM2 variant was completed in 2009. In 2015, the Kazakhstan Air Defence Force placed an order for 24 Su-30SM aircraft to replace its ageing MiG-27 Floggers.
In this image, a recently upgraded Su-27BM2 (“05 Yellow”) from the 604th AvB at Taldykorgan flies over the Kazakhstan countryside. 05 Yellow was the first Su-27 to receive the BM2 upgrades in Belarus. The new paint scheme also does away with the old Soviet-era camouflage with a dazzling dark blue, light blue, and grey pattern. Note the two B-13L rocket launchers mounted on the number 3 and 4 pylons.

Broken skateboard poster/sketch/messin around...
everytime you break a skateboard, you break a heart.
-These photographs were taken September 12th 2009. Funny how I reuse oldies.
-My boyfriend and I are no more.
-I haven't felt able to say it out loud/or write it down...
-It ended the last week of May... (however it wasn't clear till July...)
-I've done badly in both of the exams I took three days after we split... I'm very unhappy.
-Its taking me a long time to "get over." I'm sorry but thats just me.
-One thing that made me happy, who made me happy.... turned upside down and became a source of upset.... :'(
-It was one inspiration for "Torn."

-Its hard when both people feel differently.
-I didn't want to let go.... still don't want to let go. I hurt more than I let on.
-I miss everything about him... I feel so lonely now... I want him/it back...

Edited Landsat 8 image of the breakup of the large iceberg that just split away from the Larsen C ice shelf. Processing variant.

Original caption: When a massive iceberg first broke away from Antarctica’s Larsen C ice shelf sometime between July 10-12, 2017, scientists knew it would eventually start breaking apart. That’s the normal life cycle of a drifting iceberg, which is at the mercy of the ocean’s battering currents, tides, and winds. Already those forces have turned A-68 into two named bergs, A-68A and A-68B, as well as a handful of pieces too small to be named by the U.S. National Ice Center.
In the two weeks following the initial break, satellite imagery has documented the iceberg’s motion. The southern end appears to have slammed into a mix of floating ice above Gipps Ice Rise—the bump of snow- and ice-covered bedrock visible in the lower right of the image. Then the berg rebounded and its northern end swung back toward the just opened rift. The resulting impact caused both the berg’s north end and the ice shelf to fracture.
“The back-and-forth movement of A-68 looks akin to maneuvering a parallel-parked car out of a tight parking space—like an Austin Powers three-point turn,” said Christopher Shuman, a cryospheric scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
The fractured berg and shelf are visible in these images, acquired on July 21, 2017, by the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) on the Landsat 8 satellite. The false-color view shows the relative warmth or coolness across the region. White indicates where the ice or water surface is warmest, most notably in the widening strip of mélange between the main iceberg and the remaining ice shelf. Dark grays and blacks are the coldest areas of ice.
So far, the calving and fracturing has taken place under the dark cover of polar night during Antarctica’s austral winter. That makes thermal imagery from satellites a critical tool for “seeing” the action. Adrian Luckman of the UK-based Project MIDAS first saw the berg break away in thermal data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), before Sentinel radar data became available later on July 12.
The thermal view above shows a remarkable amount of detail. The bright signature of relatively warm ocean water appears around A-68B, which broke off sometime between late July 13 and early July 14. More subtle fractures north of A-68B are visible on the shelf; these pieces will eventually break free and move out to sea with the rest of the ice.
All of the ice pieces large and small are subject to the water currents of the Weddell Gyre and the strong weather systems that can whip up blinding snow and blanket the region in clouds for many days at a time. This same ocean circulation that will eventually move the bergs northward toward South Georgia Island.
In the meantime, scientists will have to wait until August—the end of polar night here—to get their first natural-color images since the long-growing Larsen C rift became a complete break.

The ice is breaking up behing the breakwall on lake Ontario in west Toronto.
The grey clouds were soon to be replaced by a pure blue sky and warming sun.
“i’m leaving you” she said as a matter of factly…meghan was sitting beside me at the bar…she had turned slightly so we were almost facing each other…

With all of the technology we have access to today, it can be hard to tell if our phones and computers are bringing us closer together or pulling us further apart. It turns out that they are apparently doing both! Texting and its naughtier cousin, sexting, are both popular and discreet ways to...

Sometimes in your life you just need to face it, no matter how deep you hide it, there will always come a moment when you will remember.
First you open your wings, you touch the clouds, the borders of the glas are painted with all the smiles brought by good memories, but then you come to the lower part of the glass, the liquor have the need to flush your sore trhoat, throat strangled by the ending, by the injustice, by the strugles that you made in your life, all the sacrifice, that never payed off.
We always will meet new, interesting people in our life, the ugly ones, the cute ones, the realy hot ones, the interesting, boring... every single profile. Some, will pass by our side like the new born breeze, some will tickle our imagination, and sometimes one of the team will decide that tickle to take over your life, and jump right into a new bus, leaving the old companion behind.
The only question is how do we know that the old road trip in time will show that was better then the new one? And if we realise it then, will it be too late to buy that ticket again, because the worst thing in the life is when you come too late.
If you are jumping from one bus to another, you will be stuck playing the same song but only with different instruments, and is it realy fair to replace your for so many years loved guitar with a violin, just to play the same song again?
The thing is, when you find something that you build and trully respect, you will see and visit hundreds of houses, but you will always gladly return to your doorstep, because you made it, and even if other doors look tempting, your is the one you chose, the one that was always there for you. That's a feeling that we often forget.
