If the explosive rounds from the eight-barrelled, rapid-fire particle cannon don't get ya, the 1600-RPM chainsaw is sure to do some damage.

An afternoon of putting Mentos into bottles of Diet Coke, just for a photo for the monthly scavenger hunt.
How many of each did you wind up using, Heather?
Well... Seven 2L bottles of Diet Coke and 8 sleeves of Mentos, actually...
But is it not worth it??

Road construction team using dynamite to blast rocks (Vietnam)
Check my other photos of dynamite sticks and blasting caps.
I stopped to see what the road construction people were doing and I realized that there was 20 pounds of dynamite sitting on the road just next to me! There were sticks of dynamite all over the place, as well as blasting caps. The motorized traffic on this country road is so infrequent that they did not really care about any sort of traffic control. Just don't be there when they blast! Next blast in 15 minutes.
I had never seen real dynamite in my life. It feels strange to be so close from something that can blow you to small pieces. I hope the dynamite they use is good quality and stable. I still have the stick they gave me as a souvenir (just kidding). Actually I don't think they would have cared if one was missing, though. There were so many sticks everywhere!

I attended the first ever Pixelmania! event at Walt Disney World from December 3rd to the 6th, 2009 which was hosted by The Magic in Pixels founder, Tim Devine. Some of the best Disney fan community photographers attended with many more looking to learn and have a good time. Though the weather at times wasn’t ideal, we made the best of it and came up with lots of creative ways to spend a rainy day in a Disney themepark.
Yesterday, Tim had arranged for VIP seating at the Lights, Motors, Action Extreme Stunt Show at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This put just over a dozen Disney loving photographers front and center to one of the most action packed shows Disney puts on. Fast cars, explosions, precision driving and aerial stunts and jumps by cars, motorcycles, jet skis and people.
The photo here is of the last scene with the Hero (red) car jumping over a ramp as explosives are let off. Timing by driver and crew has to be perfect. Thanks to Pixelmania and using burst mode on my camera, I was able to get a head on photo of the dramatic scene. Since there was only the roof of the control room in front of us, we didn't have to worry about other guest's heads getting in the way.

The Timed Explosive is a nice addition to the Brickarms world and fits nicely into the modern or wild west genres. One of the cool play features is the removable insert but it is very tiny and may be lost if not watched. One problem I have found is it is a very, very tight fit to put the Explosive on a minifig hand and it has been prone to suddenly launching off the minifigs hand (like right when I was trying to photograph it =P ).

Baghdad, Iraq (Oct. 11, 2003) -- Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technicians assigned to the Bahrain-based Special Operations Task Force 56, work with Army EOD technicians to prepare unexploded ordnance (UXO) for demolition at a safe disposal area in the vicinity of Baghdad. The joint Army-Navy EOD teams are working diligently to destroy the sizable quantities of UXO spread throughout the country in an effort to reduce and ultimately eliminate weapons and ammunition available to insurgents for use against coalition troops.

Esse é um dos quatro esmaltes que vieram no kit Intense da LA Colors, que comprei na Cherry Culture (fotos da comprinha www.flickr.com/photos/mariohmattos/5391048878/).
O kit tem tres variações, com 4 cores cada e eu escolhi a que chama Explosive, que vem além desse verde, um roxo, um rosa e um laranja, todos puxados pro neon.
Chamei esse esmalte de cor 01 pq o vidrinho vem pelado (tadinho!) sem nome nenhum de marca, cor e dignidade (rs).
Esse é um dos esmaltes que fica uma cor no vidrinho e outra nas unhas, sendo que LÓGICO que a cor no vidrinho é mais bonita! Nas unhas achei ele muito parecido com o Angra dos Reis da Top Beauty, que postei aqui: www.flickr.com/photos/mariohmattos/5245383092/
Passei duas camadas e uma camada de top coat da Ideal.
Los Angeles Firefighters monitor a prescribed fire used to control unstable explosives on December 20, 2005 on Haskell Avenue in Van Nuys, California.
If you walk down Östgötagatan on Södermalm you will pass two big turquoise copper gates. At the Katarina power station. This is one of them. Made by the artist Mikael Pauli some thirty years ago. The technique he used for making them is a bit special. With the help of an explosives expert, he dug a huge hole in a forest up North. He filled that hole with hundreds of everyday items, like an old TV, coins, a guitar, a chair, a few bottles of beer, an old suitcase, a pair of skis and more. They then added the copper plates. And over that some plastic and masonite. Before finishing it off with a lot of penthrite. After that, they filled the hole with water from a nearby lake and blew it all up! And from that, Mikael created the two big gates. My kind of artist!
Am Hohenzollerndann nahe Einmündung Ruhrstraße (vor dem ehemaligen 12 Apostel) ist heute morgen ein Outdoor-DSLAM der Telekom explodiert.
Vom Schaltschrank selbst blieb nur ein verbogenerer Rahmen nebst technischer Innereien übrig (siehe Bildmitte). Die Splitter der massiven Kunststoffgehäuses liegen weit verstreut. Die Scheiben umstehender Autos sind eingedrückt bzw. von den umherfliegenden Splittern durchschlagen.
Personen kamen glücklicherweise nicht zu schaden.
Die Stromversorgung der anliegenden Häuser war gegen 9:15 Uhr unterbrochen.
Die Ursache war zum gleichen Zeitpunkt noch nicht bekannt. Die GASAG (berliner Gasversorger) war vor Ort. Nach Auskunft einer Feuerwehrmannes hatte man jedoch "kein Gas gefunden".
Polizei war reichlich vor Ort und hatte den Hohenzollerndamm in westlicher Fahrtrichtung ab Fehrbelliner Platz gesperrt, was zu einem kleinen Verkehrschaos führte.
Cooke's Explosive Works, Penrhyndeudraeth.
Picio yno cyn troi at yr A470
The main manufacturing industry in Penrhyndeudraeth was established in 1872 to make guncotton. Cookes Explosives Ltd - part of the Imperial Chemical Industries (I.C.I.) dealing with increased demand for munitions during World War I set up a new explosives manufacturing facility at Penrhyndeudraeth, bringing an economic boom to the town. The plant produced thousands of tons of munitions for the war and explosives for quarrying and mining. The prolonged miners' strike of 1983 and the competition from foreign coal imports resulted in wholesale pit closures which, in turn, reduced the demand for mining explosives to the point where production was no longer economic and the site was finally cleared in 1997.
It was donated to the North Wales Wildlife Trust by ICI in 1998 and is now managed as a nature reserve. This 28 hectare site exhibits a range of habitats including woodland, scrub, heathland, bare rock and open water and supports a wide range of species including Nightjar, Barn Owl, Pied flycatcher, Polecat, seven species of bat, and the impressive Emperor Dragonfly. The reserve offers fabulous views over the Dwyryd Estuary from the bird hide and the many paths throughout the site will offer excellent access.
"Seventeen million grenades and other munitions were made at Cooke's Explosives Ltd during WWII."
"A massive explosion in 1915 (perhaps enemy sabotage) destroyed the facilities, and responsibility for the site was taken over by the Ministry of Munitions before being sold to Cooke's in the 1920s."
"When explosives are being mixed it's essential to keep them cool and the process involved piping in water from a nearby pond with an operator monitoring temperature and flow. This worker was provided with a stool, but for his protection it had just one leg. If he fell asleep, it would not be for long! "

Story: The Kaminoans wanted to train the clones in all kinds of enviroments, this clone had to use the bathroom, forgeting this was a test he was unaware of the highly explosive materials underneath him. We all know what happens next...............
This looked more like the waste from a bunch of kids who had left the remains of their explosives from the night before.
For those who don't know the reason for the 5th November being a legal time for the general public to set off explosives;
In 1605, thirteen young men planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Among them was Guy Fawkes, Britain's most notorious traitor.
After Queen Elizabeth I died in 1603, English Catholics who had been persecuted under her rule had hoped that her successor, James I, would be more tolerant of their religion. James I had, after all, had a Catholic mother. Unfortunately, James did not turn out to be more tolerant than Elizabeth and a number of young men, 13 to be exact, decided that violent action was the answer.
A small group took shape, under the leadership of Robert Catesby. Catesby felt that violent action was warranted. Indeed, the thing to do was to blow up the Houses of Parliament. In doing so, they would kill the King, maybe even the Prince of Wales, and the Members of Parliament who were making life difficult for the Catholics. Today these conspirators would be known as extremists, or terrorists.
To carry out their plan, the conspirators got hold of 36 barrels of gunpowder - and stored them in a cellar, just under the House of Lords.
But as the group worked on the plot, it became clear that innocent people would be hurt or killed in the attack, including some people who even fought for more rights for Catholics. Some of the plotters started having second thoughts. One of the group members even sent an anonymous letter warning his friend, Lord Monteagle, to stay away from the Parliament on November 5th. Was the letter real?
The warning letter reached the King, and the King's forces made plans to stop the conspirators.
Guy Fawkes, who was in the cellar of the parliament with the 36 barrels of gunpowder when the authorities stormed it in the early hours of November 5th, was caught, tortured and executed.
It's unclear if the conspirators would ever have been able to pull off their plan to blow up the Parliament even if they had not been betrayed. Some have suggested that the gunpowder itself was so old as to be useless. Since Guy Fawkes and the other conspirators got caught before trying to ignite the powder, we'll never know for certain.
Even for the period which was notoriously unstable, the Gunpowder Plot struck a very profound chord for the people of England. In fact, even today, the reigning monarch only enters the Parliament once a year, on what is called "the State Opening of Parliament". Prior to the Opening, and according to custom, the Yeomen of the Guard search the cellars of the Palace of Westminster. Nowadays, the Queen and Parliament still observe this tradition.
On the very night that the Gunpowder Plot was foiled, on November 5th, 1605, bonfires were set alight to celebrate the safety of the King. Since then, November 5th has become known as Bonfire Night. The event is commemorated every year with fireworks and burning effigies of Guy Fawkes on a bonfire.
Some of the English have been known to wonder, in a tongue in cheek kind of way, whether they are celebrating Fawkes' execution or honoring his attempt to do away with the government.
