this recalls mark twain's savagely satirical patriot's prayer, written in protest against the us military intervention in the philippines....
perhaps it is as relevant today:
"O Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth to battle -- be Thou near them! With them -- in spirit -- we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved fire sides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it -- for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love..."

I'm planning to enter a Photo Competition (1st time!) and have no idea which picture(s) to submit. These four are the ones I had considered for entry into the "Travel" Category (A single image conveying sense of place; from exotic to backyard, urban to wild. Includes architecture, landscapes, waterscapes, aerials, wildlife.)
Please comment and vote for which 1 (or 2) of these four you think I should submit for the competition. If you prefer, you can order them from favorite to least favorite. Or, if you have a favorite of mine that isn't one of these four, let me know which one!
Thanks so much for your help!!
This poor little Domo torso from the 1st Qee series isn't complete. Maybe you have some of his other parts (arms and legs... I finally found a hip) lying around and don't need them? Please help me to complete him and contact me via FM!
Thank you so very much for your interest in Clean Bread and Cheese Creek. Unfortunately the heavy rains of the spring and the areas outdated stormwater management controls of our community has clogged this historic stream with trash. We can certainly use all as many volunteers as possible of all ages and abilities and we look forward to the possibility of working with you! We are all aware of the importance the health of the Chesapeake Bay hold to all Maryland Residents. Those who grew up in this area remember a different creek entirely, one teeming with frogs, crayfish, and minnows – a place where many a child spent long summer days happily playing. It is our goal to bring back that stream, not for me, not just for the residents that live along it, but for everyone who reaps the benefits of the Chesapeake Bay. We are a group of volunteers working with the community, National Public Lands Day, the Ocean Conservancy, American Rivers, Trash Free Maryland, as well as other organizations to clean up Bread and Cheese Creek.
Please mark your calendars for our next cleanup on Saturday, September 27, 2014 at 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM, Rain or Shine, as the day and time we clean up the section of Bread and Cheese Creek from the Berkshire Area to North Point Road. Registration will be at 2408 Plainfield Road, Dundalk, MD 21222. This event will be run in conjunction with the International Ocean Conservancy as part of their International Coastal Cleanup Event.
We run our cleanups as a family event with plenty of ways for volunteers to participate. We welcome every type of person of every ability level to contribute and assist with the cleanup. Though it is true we will need people to dig out shopping carts and haul trash to the dumpsters, we need people to run water, food, tools, and trash bags (both empty and full) to individuals in the creek. People to sort recyclables from the debris removed. People will be needed to help at registration, setup food and snacks as well as many other less strenuous activities. We are also authorized to sign-off on Community Service and Service Learning Hours for students. The more people we have, the easier the work will be for everyone. We will provide lunch and snacks as well as gloves. A limited number of tools are available for sign-out, but suggest bringing your own if you have them
Our cleanups are part of an ongoing effort clean the entire stream by 2014 in preparation for the War of 1812 Bicentennial Celebration. (Bread and Cheese Creek will be receiving two historic plaques on the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail) The creek played a rather significant part in the Battle of North Point which took place on September 12, 1814. Both the American and British Troops camped along its banks, the American troops using is as a rallying point. It is rumored that the young heroes Daniel Wells (19) and Henry McComas (18) used the stream channel to sneak up on British General Robert Ross killing him with their muskets before being killed in return fire. This important part of our history should not be left the eyesore it currently is.

I have been in front of the computer for hours drawing, drawing, pulling effect, drawing... (it is actually much more detailed than you can see from here... iris details and all hehe) To produce macoto style eyes for Blythe. ;) to use with the flat eyechips I got home a couple of days ago.
Then I went off with the hue adjusting in photoshop to produce different colors.
So finally I have two versions, one with sharp sparkles and one with blurry sparkles. Which one do you think would be better? sharp or blurry?
And then the color. I can't choose.. *laughs* Hair and face you can see and the yellow eyechips are the ones I have decided firmly to be there.
I might also use one pair for the fake pam too.
Printed out on high res paper. I also tried to print out on OH paper to put foil back but I decided that it did not look as good as I had hoped for so it is better to use solid paper.

A book that can help LX5 users by deeply explaining every single adjustement that can be done with the camera. It provides full explanations of the 'dark sides' of the official Panasonic manual. A must.
Graphic for an upcoming series. It's basically a mishmash that needed something to tie it all together.
Help!
:::edit:::
i had too many people's opinions on this, and i think that's what happened. basically, it's a series through the psalms, all dealing with different issues: being afraid, confessing, remembering god when you're in trouble, when god seems distant, and what the bible can do for you. i have no idea where to go with it, and i have 100% freedom to change all titles.
The Macmillan nursing team at Watford, Hemel Hempstead and St Albans hospitals held an information and support event for people with cancer on Thursday 5th September 2013 at Holywell Community Centre in Watford.
The ‘Living with and Beyond Cancer’ event was an opportunity for people to meet with cancer nurses to talk about their experiences and to find out more about the support services that are available both locally and nationally. Complementary therapy taster sessions were on offer, alongside an opportunity to have a mini makeover and get advice on benefits, diet, relaxation, exercise, wigs and much more. Many thanks to all those who donated the refreshments ran the information stands and to the Macmillan nursing team who all contributed towards making the event such a success.

**New Mexico Madonna of the Trail** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 06000151, date listed 3/21/2006
Jct. of Marble Ave. and 4th St.
Albuquerque, NM (Bernalillo County)
The New Mexico Madonna of the Trail is located at the southeast corner of Fourth Street and Marble Avenue in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico along the former alignment of U.S. 66. The monument is surrounded by a landscaped park, which is sited on a block dominated by the city's federal courthouse.
The Madonna of the Trail monument, designed by German immigrant August Leimbach, was fabricated in 1928 of Algonite — a mix of crushed pink granite, stone, marble, Portland cement, and screenings of lead ore, poured into a mold and polished into its final form. The monument features a ten-foot high sculpture of a pioneer woman and two small children (Photo 4). The woman, depicted with a homespun dress, sunbonnet, and heavy boots, is captured in a firm mid-stride, her eyes intently focused on the horizon to the west. In one arm she carries an infant, while the other hand clutches a rifle. Another child, a small boy, clings to her skirt. Thistles surround her feet. The sculpture rests on a large square base that is six feet in height and weighs approximately twelve tons. Beneath the base is a five-foot deep foundation, three feet of which are below ground. The monument weighs five tons. (1)
The National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) established a committee in 1911 to promote the highway that became the National Old Trails (N.O.T), and later, in 1926, Route 66. The NSDAR commissioned 12 identical statues (one for each state crossed by the N.O.T.), as a symbol of the courage of the pioneer women who stood by their families and helped tame the West. (2)

Grackles built a nest on the platform right under the Osprey's nest this season. They obviously have babies there as I observed them coming with food and cleaning their nest (disposing fecal sacs into the water). Being so busy didn't stop them from harassing the Ospreys between the trips. Ospreys are very busy too. They have three babies in their nest and they don't have time for a feud.
Now for a few doubles from the yurt. (And I swear this is the last time with this sign. I'm obsessed with it. I saw one out in the field yesterday up here on the Boise National Forest and slammed on the brakes so I could shoot it, but then remembered I already had, three times.)
Help!
I recently won an auction on ebay to get some parts to complete my Muscle Body GI Joe.
However, when I received the parts today, I discovered it was actually to a reproduction talking Action Man!
I entertained the notion of just using the AM arms on my vintage Joe MB, but they are really, really loose on the Hasbro body. I was able to fix the AM body talking mechanism, and was thinking, well hell, maybe I'll just use my head on this body.
The only problem is that I seem to be missing a part that would keep the two halves of the body together.
Does anybody know what this part looks like or where I can get one?
