Russian "sepratists" armored column flying a war banner with the face of Jesus Christ. This is something I have never imagined would happen in my lifetime. There is deep significance here.

http://news.sky.com/story/1434081/putin-ukraine-gas-cut-off-smacks-of-genocide I can't get the HTML code to show the picture captioned: A convoy of pro-Russian forces' 2S1 Gvozdika (122-mm self-propelled howitzers) drives from the frontline near the eastern Ukrainian city of Starobeshevo
The pic is there but it's buried in the gallery code. Which is why you can't just right-click it as usual to copy the image URL. They actually seem to store these photos in six sizes for everything from cellphones to ultra-fine displays. At the risk of messing up this thread's pagination, here's the 1600x1200 version where you can see the face much better. From the same photo gallery, Novorossiya can't seem to decide what flag it wants to fly as seen here. First that thing that looks like a cheap ripoff of Confederate battle banners, then the three-vertical-bars flag of Russia. (Ukraine has a two-bar flag, blue and gold.) The flag of Lugansk People's Republic looks like this: The flag of the Donetsk People's Republic looks like this: Russian Federation's flag looks like: So either the rebels like the Russian flag or they forgot to change flags when they brought the tanks west.
The Confederate looking flag is the flag of Novorossiya http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Novorossiya I have also seen them fly the black and orange St George ribbon flag.
Look at those cheap-ass power line poles. Square and non-creosoted. And they used two full poles to brace that other one, apparently a corner in the line of poles; Americans would use a single round creosote pole with a buried anchor cable. A good example of why this region (and the Soviet regime) were so backward. You shouldn't build things that are so wasteful and need so much repair. Thinking like that leads to a lot of bad results.

LOL ! I just noticed that. They probably had no idea how to do this - it looks like an installation I did in my summer vacation home's bathroom - Europeans don't have fixed shower heads but rather those hand held sprayers which is stupid. I installed a fixed shower head and it works but to get the pipe into the position I wanted was wasteful in how many corners I soldered, etc because I had no idea what I was doing.
