Lake Hillier, is a lake on Middle Island, the largest of the islands and islets that make up the Recherche Archipelago, Western Australia.
The most notable feature of this lake is its pink colour. It is such a significant distinguishing feature of the archipelago that air passengers often take note of it. The colour is permanent, and does not alter when the water is taken in a container. The length of the lake is about six hundred metres (3/8 mile). The lake is surrounded by a rim of sand and a dense woodland of paperbark and eucalyptus trees with a narrow strip of sand dunes covered by vegetation separating it to the north from the Southern Ocean.

A natural gas explosion tore through a strip club in western Massachusetts on Friday evening Nov. 23rd 2012, leveling the business and sending at least eight people to the local trauma center.
The smell of gas had sent employees, customers and dancers racing out of the building. Then, at about 5:20 p.m., a gas leak at the Scores Gentleman’s Club in Springfield’s downtown district ignited, sending shock waves that rattled the community, knocking people down and shattering windows blocks away.
Police said there have been no reports of fatalities.

Speed broadcasts an assortment of motorsports programming on cable and satellite systems across America. It is owned by News Corporation and operates on the Fox sports platform. All studio programming is filmed at this location.
The network covers a heavy schedule of NASCAR-related programming, but it has also featured race broadcasts of Formula One, Australian V8 Supercars, various sports car series, dirt oval events, and motocross.
When it launched in 1996, the network was named Speedvision. In 2002, it became Speed Channel. Eventually, the name was simply shortened to Speed.
Reports have surfaced that the channel will soon be reconfigured by Fox to become a generic sports channel to compete with NBC Sports Network and the ESPN family of channels.

Al MacInnis statue
milwhcky (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: milwhcky.
Hockey Hall of Fame defenseman Al MacInnis (born July 11, 1963) is honored by a statue outside of the home arena of the St. Louis Blues. The pose of the statue is appropriate, as he was most famous for having one of the fastest slap shots in the league.
After being drafted in the first round by Calgary in 1981, he played 23 seasons in the NHL from 1982-2003. He remained with Calgary until 1994, when he signed as a free agent with St. Louis. He remained with the Blues until suffering a career-ending eye injury early in the 2003-04 season.
In 1989, he was selected as the playoff MVP (Conn Smythe Trophy) after his Flames team captured the Stanley Cup title. In 1999, he was awarded the NHL's defenseman of the year honors (Norris Trophy).

Our Lady of Meritxell
Our Lady of Meritxell (Catalan: Mare de Déu de Meritxell) is an Andorran Roman Catholic statue depicting an apparition of the Virgin Mary. Our Lady of Meritxell is the patron saint of Andorra. The original statue dates from the late 12th century. However, the chapel in which it was housed burned down on September 8 and 9, 1972, and the statue was destroyed. A replica can be found in the new Meritxell Chapel, designed in 1976 by Ricardo Bofill.

Tanker and cargo
I think this is the new French base in UAE. Looks like a C135FR plus a Transall C160 cargo plane. Supposed to be a couple of fighters also forward deployed. There is also a helicopter, probably for CSAR.
