This is the scene that greeted me as I opened the front door at sunrise to get the morning paper—note the golden light kissing the snow in the foreground before giving way to the blue daylight. …
Denisé (wife) took this image of Tiger, our Jack Russell. Tiger’s a smart, very active little dog, and Denisé has done a great job capturing his “essence”. …
Here’s a photo from my visit to the East Coast last summer. I’ve shown a version of this image before in colour, but I think it works really well in black and white also. …
Kokanee, a resident of Muskoka Wildlife Centre at Gravenhurst, Ontario, Canada. This Mountain Lion lives in a large enclosure with his best friend, Kootenay, a black bear. …morehere, Cycroft Photoblog: Photo of Mountain Lion.
Chéticamp is a charming fishing community on the Cabot Trail on the west coast of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. St. Peter’s Church (a.k.a. l’Église Saint-Pierre) was built in 1883. …more here, Cycroft Photoblog: Photo of St Peters Church at Chéticamp, NS.
Taken at the seashore in Prince Edward Island. Made me think of the many decisions we all make every day of our lives. Thank God, we live in a democracy and are free to make those decisions. …more here, Cycroft Photoblog: Where Paths Divide.
Taken at Muskoka Wildlife Centre near Gravenhurst, Ontario, Canada. This is Luna, a female Saw-whet Owl (Aegolius acadicus)—she’s about the size of a coffee cup and not a large one at that. …more here, Cycroft Photoblog: Saw-Whet Owl.

In an era when we've all got GPS in our pockets, OnStar in our cars and the NSA tracking anyone, anywhere, it is still possible-although rare-for an airliner to seemingly vanish. That appears to be what happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared about an hour after leaving Kuala Lumpur for Beijing on Friday night. As of Monday, search and rescue teams ...

It certainly made for a startling video: police, lights ablaze, pull up to local churches. Once inside, they march up to the pulpit and place the pastor preaching there under arrest, in front of the congregation. The men of the cloth are perp-walked out of the church with handcuffs on. This very scenario created a brief uproar - first at the Akron, Ohio, ...
Malaysia's military believes it tracked a missing jetliner by radar over the Strait of Malacca, far from where it last made contact with civilian air traffic control off the country's east coast, a military source told Reuters. In one of the most baffling mysteries in recent aviation history, a massive search operation for the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER, now in its fourth day, ...
Add another male lawmaker to the list of those who've made an eyebrow-raising rape comment. Missouri state Sen. David Sater (R) is sponsoring Senate Bill 519, which would amend the current waiting period to have an abortion from 24 hours to 72 hours. Left out of that bill is an emergency exception for cases of rape. "If a woman decides not to go ...
I mentioned this in the page on the American Spectator Article. Some quotes: The film appeals particularly to white liberals who love feeling good about feeling bad about white Western society, and 12 Years a Slave certainly makes them feel bad about white society, while getting nowhere near to the heart of the matter at hand. This Vincent Cooper character is the the kind ...
There's a stunning disconnect between what the GOP says about our economy and its actual current condition. Put succinctly, the Republicans (virtually all of them, not just the tea sippers) are lying through their teeth about the state of the economy. Wouldn't it be nice to live in a country where facts mattered more than blind hatred? Where ignorance wasn't something to be proud ...
Dinesh D'Souza, the filmmaker behind 2016: Obama's America who is out on $500,000 bond for allegedly violating campaign finance laws, was at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington on Friday to unveil a new trailer for his upcoming release, America, a movie that imagines the United States lost the Revolutionary War and therefore never existed. The trailer, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, ...
A good piece at Newsday by Cathy Young: U.S. Critic Blind to Putin Media Control. Do some critics of U.S. government policies that may encroach on civil liberties give anti-American foreign states a pass on far worse abuses? The latest subject of such a controversy is Glenn Greenwald, the journalist who has worked with whistle-blower Edward Snowden to disclose the National Security Agency's surveillance ...
For once I don't have much to say about the story I'm posting, because I simply cannot imagine the pain Peter Lanza feels in having a son who was a mass murderer. The father of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter Adam Lanza has spoken publicly for the first time to make the startling claim that he wishes his son had never been born. Giving ...
This is hilarious. You just have to watch it. Between Two Ferns with Barack Obama Obama can meta almost as good as Galafianaikis. Too many zingers to list.
Launched in 1912, the Girl Scouts of the USA started as a single pack of girls in Savannah, Georgia, meeting in the hopes of getting out of their "isolated home environments and into community service and the open air." Founder Juliette Gordon Low, an artist and athlete, saw her personal mission in launching the troop as "to go on with my heart and ...
When I saw this post over at Wonkette, I thought I just had to show Charles Johnson and Gus. I just wonder if and when they'll make a Greenwald action figure. Are you a grown-ass person that still likes to play with toys and pretend you are someone else? We really wish we could stop you from doing that. But since we can't, why ...
I need to post this since I propagated the original Der Spiegle story here. This debunks the "European" linkage headlined in the story. All of the genes are Asian / Siberian in origin. H/T to Freetoken who pointed out the shoddy reporting back then in the comments. It appears that the usual Solutrean Hypothesis / Solutrean Truther crowd at work, and underneath it all ...
Earlier today, Lawhawk noted that Adorama was having a contest where you're to enter your best image from last year. Since the voting is Facebook "Likes" based, my taste in photography has a snowballs chance at the devil's prom ;) But on the other hand, as it has been noted, you can not win if you do not play the game. So after sorting ...
Our Goals According to the 2013 UNICEF Report on Improving Child Nutrition - The Achievable Imperative for Global Progress, one-third of the world's under nourished children are in India and an estimated 61 million, half of the total child population in the country, are stunted due to chronic undernutrition. While progress towards reducing child underweight in India has been made, it has been ...
An amazing historic fortune to be had Ship Model, note the old pre propeller side wheel propulsion design. It carried one of the largest cargoes of gold ever lost at sea, so much so that it was nicknamed the "Ship of Gold." And now Odyssey Marine Exploration has been given court approval to recover what it can from the SS Central America. In 1857, ...
"The World's Only Reliable News," better than Russia Today and the Drudge Report combined! BOLSHAYA YELNIA - An all-female religious sect believe that Vladimir Putin is the reincarnation of St. Paul the Apostle. The religious sect of the Russian Orthodox church consists entirely of women, who meet in a small three story brick building in Bolshaya Yelnia, a small town near the Volga River. ...
Alas, our next generation of conservative leaders are not chanting, "Amer-i-ca! Amer-i-ca!" They are, instead, chanting, "F**k O-bama! F**k O-bama!" And I hang my head. So, now, children at the hotel, parents, staff, tourists - both foreign and domestic - and every other conceivable variety of guest who happens to be staying at the Gaylord National hotel during CPAC 2014 has a skewed, ...
The Con­fer­ence Board of Canada has is­sued a re­port ti­tled Re­form­ing Dairy Sup­ply Man­age­ment: The Case for Growth, which pretty much con­demns Canada's sys­tem of sup­ply man­age­ment of dairy prod­ucts. Au­thors, Michael Grant, Richard Barichello, Mark Liew, and Vi­jay Gill, say their re­port "makes the case for growth and sug­gests an eq­ui­table way to wind down sup­ply man­age­ment of dairy prod­ucts. ..."
