This overhead view shows the target area at White Sands Missile Range, with “soft” targets shredded by the bomblets dispersed by ATACMS. The crater at the center of the target set was where the ATACMS rocket motor body impacted, precisely where it was supposed to. (Photo courtesy of the author)
Trump & Erdogan are in Belgium for a NATO meeting.. and over 12000 Belgians took to the streets to protest their presidencies.
It’s objectively too late to restrain population and consumption growth so as to avert what ecologists of the 1970s called a “hard landing.”
It is the lie that human society can continue growing its population and consumption levels indefinitely on our finite planet, and never suffer consequences.
Perhaps Donald Trump succeeded because his promises spoke to what civilizations in decline tend to want to hear. It could be argued that the pluralistic, secular, cosmopolitan, tolerant, constitutional democratic nation state is a political arrangement appropriate for a growing economy buoyed by pervasive optimism. (On a scale much smaller than contemporary America, ancient Greece and Rome during their early expansionary periods provided examples of this kind of political-social arrangement). As societies contract, people turn fearful, angry, and pessimistic—and fear, anger, and pessimism fairly dripped from Trump’s inaugural address. In periods of decline, strongmen tend to arise promising to restore past glories and to defeat domestic and foreign enemies. Repressive kleptocracies are the rule rather than the exception.

CP is the only one in his family who is currently allowed to drink wine, so technically he is drinking for five.
I was expecting rain, so this was a real treat! The M/V Wenatchee easing up to the Coleman dock in Seattle to offload its passengers and cars from Bainbridge Island. I was onboard the Kitsap at the dock, waiting to depart for Bremerton.
Been expecting for a lens like this one, the apoqualia from ms optical is a stellar performer, the glass is taken from the reputed 50mm f3.5 color skopar from VC, this version has a different diafragm, is made of aluminium, black anodized, very lightweight and extremely sharp...all i want from a lens..
So, I really like this editing. The colors just make me very happy. Also, disregard the paint on my hand... haha
Roosevelt's Bridges 2 Harmony gospel choir performed their winter show 'Expect Your Miracle' on Thursday night, January 27th.
Just trying out with Candle lights, this was on a Rice Lake, Ontario, Canada. Was about to wind up the camp when we thought of trying this out. What I really love about this image is the look this lady had, there is so much to it, as if a story waiting to be captured.
I am so grateful that you guys have liked it. Thank you All..:))
Keep Clicking... Dom
Kinda chintzy in feel and tinier than expected, for the price..but the photos are actually not bad, and it's kinda fun.

Fresh out of the paint shop at Eastleigh Arlington and heading for LSL at the Heritage Centre in Crewe.
I expect to lose my hair during chemo. I ordered the cap on the left from Hello Courage, run by Denise McCroskey. I highly recommend her breast cancer blog. I ordered the cap on the right from TLC, run by the American Cancer Society. Skin becomes very sensitive during chemo; the caps are manufactured to help protect the scalp.
Update, 26 May 2014: You can see me modeling the caps here.
The alarm went of, as expected, at 5:08am. I was in bed, in that nice region that's not quite sleep and not quite awake. The news was on the radio and I drifted in and out of sleep to the reports of middle-eastern trouble, economic problems, weather catastrophes and political strife. Then a segment came with a lone voice, telling a story. The voice belonged to a Franciscan monk who spoke at the funeral of a fellow monk who died at the World Trade Center ten years ago. I listened and was surprised at how his words moved me.
The rest of the day was almost indistinguishable from so many others. Commute, work, lunch, commute and home.
That evening was different.
A week ago one of my co-workers sister passed away. Tonight was her wake. I had never met the woman but I decided to attend to support my friend. I have attended many church services, mostly Catholic and Protestant. The traditions and somber mood, especially during a funeral, that the Protestant and Catholic religions have perfected was what I was expecting. My friend is a pastor of his church which is more along the lines of black Southern Baptist. There was music and singing and yelling and dancing! I sat there amazed at a funeral that was festive instead of pensive. The people who spoke were so warm and full of joy. They weren’t burying someone. They were giving here a grand sendoff.
After the service I spent some time thinking. Thinking about all the positive I had heard in the wake of death.
These two separate moments both spoke to me.
And I am trying to hear what they were saying.
BTW, the Franciscan monk story can be heard here.

The weather on the night of Evangeline's birth was as expected. The wind was howling, the moon was full, and the doctor was unavailable."
And so begins the story of Evangeline Ghastly. With a mysterious diary entry, a pet skunk named Mouette, and fashions straight out of a Victorian novel, Evangeline is definitely.....a whole other story!
Created by Joe Petrollese and sculpted by award-winning designer Robert Tonner, she is ball jointed, stands 19" tall, and is crafted of fine resin. Evangeline is what most people would call unfortunate; she likes to think of it as misunderstood.
She keeps a day by day account of her life through her diary, which she’s had for as long as she can remember. Every year on her birthday Evangeline writes in her diary the same thing "Maybe next year". What does it
mean? Found in a drawer in one of the many dressers in the attic, the first entry was written on the day of her birth; the second entry came on her fourth birthday and simply said: "Happy Birthday Evangeline. We will never forget you. Love Mumsie and Dadums"
She has never figured out who wrote it. I never said she was the smartest of girls.

All trademarks property of Wilde Imagination, IncWhether writing in my diary, walking Mouette, or picnicking in the cemetery, I always feel simply ghastly when wearing my beautiful black lace gown featuring a black velvet eyelash jacket with chiffon laced trimmed sleeves over a black spider web embroidered lace, with a chiffon overskirt. I wear it with my favorite black velvet pumps, choker with beaded accents, and matching lace umbrella, (a must-have for my delicate, pale skin). My long black wig and beautiful life-like eyes make for a very dramatic look, although no one ever seems to notice.
Evangeline is 19” tall, ball jointed, and crafted entirely of custom-poured fine resin.
