When last night's moon had cleared the glare of the horizon, the penumbral goat had already eaten half of it:

A friend takes hand-held exposures of the moon:
As Luna journeyed through the penumbra, it brushed across the top half of the umbra, where no light from the sun, save that refracted by the terran atmosphere, reached the moon. The pictures below are placed in position relative to the Earth's shadow, so that they show the shape of the penumbra and the darker umbra:

A story for Nick Fury:
PHOENIX - The Washington based environmental engineering conglomerate, Malcolm Pirnie has been contracted to re-do Phoenix, Arizona's drinking water delivery system with a very large savings to the city. The plan to divert Lake Pleasant to urban uses will be done with new technologies developed by the company.
Is it only a coinsidence that a senior Pirnie official has been selected to fast-track the development of a Homeland Security Water Research Plan. Is Phoenix about to become an experimental watershed?
What happened to the 15th?
A digital collage tribute to Paula Rego's painting of the same name, called The Family, 1999. Although the medium here is photographic, the themes and characters are as imaginary as if they had been painted.
If this were a painting, it would be 18 feet long by eight feet high hung in a huge, brightly lit, white barn-like building.
Link hopping, starting from News Scents, I ended up taking a meme-test at Colorgenics that used color and spatial relationships to analyse my personality. The results are insipid:
| The North Star
Fond of tradition, but attached more to the joy of human interaction, the North Star is often a beacon of hope to those members of society who have lost faith or who are in need of succor. Powerful personalities, North Stars are often in charge of the workplace and yet are not so rigid in their functionality that they can't take time off to play once in a while.
This type is often emotional, and this emotionality is rarely held in check. Kind and helping by nature, when affronted the North Star will usually explode, and just as suddenly when the pain has passed return to normalcy again. On occasion this quick and vibrant emotionality is translated into a life on the stage or screen. |

It's probably just cause I'm color blind, but I thought the answers choices weren't right. Like the question, "Which one hurts more?"
