These Beards Put Your Stache To Shame!
The 2013 Just For Men National Beard and Mustache Championships took place earlier this month and the photos coming out of the New Orleans based event are stupendous! More than 150 contestants competed in 17 categories sporting the best looks mustache and beard wax could support. Even better, commercial photographer Greg Anderson was there to capture the whole event in a gorgeous 165 photo gallery. Anderson’s photos were so impressive, he’s been asked to return next year as the event’s official photographer. We’re already looking forward to it. 14Share
Copyright-Free Photo Archive: Public Domain Photos and Images
The photo archive at Gimp-Savvy.com has more than 27,000 free photos and images saved on our own dedicated server, consisting of over 2.5 Gbytes of data. The goal is to make this archive a resource for collage and photo-montage using digital image editing techniques such as those described in Chapter 7 of Grokking the GIMP. To improve the archive's usefulness, full indexing of the images is planned. However, this job would be taxing for a single person, and would probably produce only mediocre results. Consequently, the solution is to provide an interactive environment allowing the community to participate in the labelling of archived photos. In looking through the archive you will be able to browse pages of photo thumbnails, which are linked to the full-size images. The images and photos found in this archive come from three main sources: the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the U.S.
Translation Of the Irish Anthem 'Sin na Fianna Fail' - Ireland
We'll sing a song, a soldier's song, With cheering rousing chorus, As round our blazing fires we throng, The starry heavens o'er us; Impatient for the coming fight, And as we wait the morning's light, Here in the silence of the night, We'll chant a soldier's song. Chorus: Soldiers are we whose lives are pledged to Ireland; Some have come from a land beyond the wave. Sworn to be free, No more our ancient sire land Shall shelter the despot or the slave. Tonight we man the gap of danger In Erin's cause, come woe or weal 'Mid cannons' roar and rifles peal, We'll chant a soldier's song. In valley green, on towering crag, Our fathers fought before us, And conquered 'neath the same old flag That's proudly floating o'er us. Chorus Sons of the Gael!
