And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

Full Description: Against a black night sky, the Space Shuttle Discovery and its seven-member crew head toward Earth-orbit and a scheduled linkup with the International Space Station (ISS). Liftoff from the Kennedy Space Center's launch pad 39B occurred at 8:47 p.m. (EST) on December 9, 2006 in what was the first evening shuttle launch since 2002. The primary mission objective was to deliver and install the P5 truss element. The P5 installation was conducted during the first of three space walks, and involved use of both the shuttle and station's robotic arms. The remainder of the mission included a major reconfiguration and activation of the ISS electrical and thermal control systems, as well as delivery of Zvezda Service Module debris panels, which will increase ISS protection from potential impacts of micro-meteorites and orbital debris. Two major payloads developed at the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) were also delivered to the Station. The Lab-On-A Chip Application Development Portable Test System (LOCAD-PTS) and the Water Delivery System, a vital component of the Station's Oxygen Generation System.

Reliving historic moments at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia, former NASA astronaut Thomas Stafford practices docking techniques at a simulator July 16 as former Russian cosmonaut Alexey Leonov looks on. The activity took place during a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Apollo-Soyuz mission that opened a new era of space cooperation between the U.S. and Russia. Stafford commanded the Apollo spacecraft and Leonov commanded the Soyuz 19 spacecraft that docked on July 17, 1975 in the first-ever linkup of American and Russian space vehicles.

On this day...in 1991:
Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, introduces WorldWideWeb, the first practical web browser.
The first version, which Berners-Lee completed on Christmas Day 1990 using a NeXT computer, was released first to a group of physicists, and its use spread outward from there.
WorldWideWeb, later renamed Nexus in order to avoid confusing it with the World Wide Web, was the first program to use both the file transfer protocol and hypertext transfer protocol, another Berners-Lee invention. HTTP simplified the linkup between client and server, making the transfer of text and images a more seamless process and facilitating the growth of the web.

Though ... I wonder what I would be doing today if it weren't for computers. All these screens ALL the time can work their "unmagic" too...
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

When I saw the word Connect for week 2 of Focus 52 I was really excited. Knowing that Sunday night I would be serving food to the homeless at Austin Street Shelter in downtown Dallas, I just knew I'd have a winning photo. However, when I got there and saw...well...what I saw, I could not take my camera out of the bag. There were hundreds of men and women in great need (someone said 400 folks), and somehow taking pictures at the worst point in their lives seemed...wrong. It was neat to see some of them joking around and smiling and thanking us for our effort. Most could not look us in the eyes or say thank you, but we know they appreciated it.
Fortunately, I had taken some other photos throughout the week. This is an old Underwood typewriter in my office. Sometimes I miss that clackity-clack sound, but I don't miss triplicate forms and white-out! Did you all know that white-out came in colors? Yeah, I'm that old. :)
And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair.

As a Getty contributor, as part of the Flickr link up, I have been invited to submit a further 10 photos this month before a 31st July deadline. Whilst I was originally invited to contribute through my landscape work I wanted to try and submit something that was a little out of my comfort zone. With an idea of what stock can be and supporting two heads worth of overactive imagination we decided to try and produce some concept work.
For my 10 images I wanted to produce fresh photography. I wanted to convey children acting out adult behaviour. We have plenty of ideas and will be attempting to make photos out of them over the next month before deciding on a final 10 at the end of the month. If you have any thoughts please feel free to comment and even more importantly if you have any ideas then please drop me a message. If I manage to make one a reality I'll give credit where credits due. The four I have uploaded tonight are all possibles and were a lot of fun to do. I was especially pleased with the Mia the Mechanic and think this could definetly make the final 10..
Please only comment if you have something to say and dont feel compelled because you saw the photo in a specific group. Please also dont invite these photos to any new groups. thank you

Belgian Residents Thank Battle of Bulge Vets
By Donna Miles
American Forces Press Service
HOUFFALIZE, Belgium, Dec. 17, 2004 -- Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge got a hero's welcome today from local residents who endured some of the most brutal fighting of the battle between U.S. and German troops here 60 years ago.

Memorial ceremonies and a special Mass here commemorated the 60th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge and civilians as well as troops who died here during the fighting.
Houffalize, on the banks of the Meuse River north of Bastogne, was a highly strategic crossroads during World War II. German troops fought bitterly to maintain their hold on the town, which was virtually destroyed during the battle and endured the deaths of some 200 of its citizens within just a few hours.
However, the U.S. 2nd, 3rd and 11th Armored divisions finally were able to break the Nazi stronghold here, after which Houffalize became a linkup point for the 1st and 3rd Armies as they forced the Germans to retreat to the east.
Sixty years later, residents here clapped as American veterans returned to the city to attend a church service and waved U.S. and Belgian flags during wreath- laying ceremonies at memorials to local citizens killed here and to their American liberators.
Local schoolchildren presented the veterans certificates declaring them honorary citizens of the town and expressed personal thanks on behalf of their townspeople.
"We salute you and pay respect to our American friends," Mayor Jose Lutgen told the veterans during a reception following the ceremonies. He recalled "those terrible days" when Houffalize had reached what seemed like rock bottom, then to be freed "by young soldiers who landed in the midst of enemy fire."
"You all were heroes," Lutgen said. "And today, 60 years later, we welcome you again as the heroes who helped us retrieve our lost freedoms."
Daniel Denning, principal deputy to the assistant secretary of the Army for manpower and reserve affairs, whose father was among the soldiers who fought at Houffalize, praised the veterans for overcoming severe hardships as they continued the fight in the Ardennes.
"You fought for freedom and for the people of Belgium and Luxembourg," Denning said. "But you also fought for each other." He likened the Battle of the Bulge soldiers to the 101st Airborne Division's Easy Company, popularized in the "Band of Brothers" book and television miniseries.
Denning called the 60th anniversary observances a fitting time "to commemorate the valor and sacrifice of those who fought here" and particularly to remember those who paid the ultimate price. Their sacrifices, he said, "will never be forgotten."
"I, like you, will never forget," agreed U.S. Ambassador to Belgium Tom Korologos. "And I assure you that the American people will also never forget."
Herbert Ridyard, who fought here as a private first class with the 94th Infantry Division during the battle, said he was overwhelmed by the outpouring of appreciation the veterans have received throughout their visit to Luxembourg and Belgium.
"The love of these people is what I'm going home with," he said. "It's been absolutely incredible."
"I'm very humbled and honored and overwhelmed by the Belgian people," agreed Charles Nelson, who 60 years ago was a private first class with the 87th Infantry Division. "This has truly been a mountaintop experience."
Nelson received a big hug during a reception here from Josiane Pelzer, a Luxembourger whose family was part of the resistance movement against their German occupiers during the war.
"My family was on the list to go to a concentration camp," Pelzer said. "I owe so very much to these soldiers. If it hadn't been for them and what they did for us, I would never have been born!"
Nelson said it's been an enlightening experience to return to the Ardennes with the fellow soldiers he served with six decades ago "to reconstruct what happened here and to see it through the eyes of the local people."
Reliving his person history, he said, "has been very emotional."
Army Maj. Gen. David Zabecki, commander of Task Force Ardennes 60, said he wants to ensure the 60th anniversary commemoration activities are "as meaningful as possible" to the returning veterans.
"This is the last major milestone when we will be able to thank many of these heroes face to face," he said.
In addition to helping the U.S. ambassadors to Belgium and Luxembourg maintain strong, positive relations between their host countries and the United States, Zabecki said he has his own personal agenda for the 60th anniversary activities.
"I want to expose as many young soldiers to these old soldiers as I can," he said. "The old guys love it, and the young guys need to be exposed to their heritage as soldiers."
Zabecki said it tickles him to watch the interaction between local children and the Battle of the Bulge veterans. "These young guys treat them like rock stars," he said. "It's really wonderful to see."
