Bye Bye Hagrid? This Is London reports:Time could be running out for Harry Potter giant Hagrid, it emerged yesterday. Robbie Coltrane, the actor who plays him in the films, said the character could be killed off in the fifth book of the popular series. 'I know about what happens to Hagrid, which is something author JK Rowling told me from the beginning to help me prepare me for the part,' he said. 'There is a death in the fifth book of a central character. But I can't say more than that.' Hagrid is keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts magic school, where he is a former pupil. Rumours about his fate started when Coltrane initially signed up for only four of the blockbuster films. In the third movie, Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban, due later this year, teenage wizard Harry comes face to face with Sirus Black, an escaped convict from a wizard prison. Muggle Pride

When you hire an IT consultant, you are handing over to a third party access to your organization's critical information systems and software
Q. How many consultants does it take to change a light bulb?
A. One to change the bulb and two to write the strategy and tell him what he did wrong.
Just like lawyer jokes, there's no shortage of consultant jokes. But the truth is hiring an IT consultant is no laughing matter.
Here are eight suggestions from IT executives on what you should look for in an ideal IT consultant:
Experience – Make sure the consultant you hire has adequate experience "and success" in dealing with companies of your size and type, according to Morris Tabush, consultant for Tabush, a New York-based IT consulting firm.
CIO's take: Good consultants, bad consultants
Canada's pioneer consultant preached simplicity
Shooting consultants in a barrel
Determine any consultant-vendor relationship – Are you in the market for an independent consultant or one who is affiliated with a particular vendor? On one hand a consultant affiliated with a particular vendor could be an advantage if you are looking for expertise in that specific product. On the other hand, you might find yourself buying into a product line you don't want or need if an IT consultant has a special interest in pushing products of a particular vendor if they stand to gain commissions or referral fees for doing so.
Find out if the consultant resells a vendor's product and if they receive any commissions when a particular vendor is selected, suggests Laura Pettit Rusick, founder of IT management services firmOPT Solutions Inc.
Review samples of previous works – Before hiring the consultant ask to see the candidate's portfolio and check out community sites such as GitHub, Coderbits or CloudSpokes, said Dave Messinger, chief technology officer of CloudSpokes, a community of software developers. While references are important actual work samples provide you with a better sense of the candidate's quality of work.

K. Pellerin "kibbles_bits" (Whitby, ONT, Canada) - See all my reviews
Nicholas Cage made a torrent of movies juring the time before and after this was made, and by far this seems to be the shining star. The critics Overlooked it, and the movie stores stocked up on it, but not too many people recognized this movie for how brilliant it really is.
Mr.Cage plays Yuri Orlov, the man who siezed the arms buisness and made a profit of billions, at one time selling to BOTH SIDES of every existing war. He started off a Ukranian-born son of immigrants who pretend to be jewish, for personal reasons. His brother and him start off with light ammunition sale, when one day Yuri has a brilliant revolutionary idea of massive arms trade. Yup, Yuri is the smartest of smart, and with salesmans charm. His brother eventually gets messed up in the drug buisness and Yuri goes solo, but when he meets his boy-hood dream girl (fantasized about at a young age) He marries her and he is living the life of a President, but then it all goes down hill, his brother realizes what the guns were doing and in an attempt to stop a group of guerrilla forces, is killed. His Wife discovers his job, and the C.I.A are after him. His life went from an all-time high, to an all-time low.
A Spectacular movie, worth every last penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interpol agent pursues arms dealer,
falcon "disdressed12" (canada) - See all my reviews
Lord of war is a very effective movie.it is well written and there is a
decent back story to the main character via numerous flash
backs.Nicolas Cage plays an arms dealer being pursued relentlessly by
an interpol agent(Ethan Hawke).I liked the first person narrative with
Cage doing the voice-over.it worked well with this picture.you could
say this movie is a bit preachy.However i think it's best when watching
this type of movie,to just try and think of it in terms of
entertainment.so hopefully the movie is well made and has some
entertainment value. for me,Lord of War is one of those movies.it is
immensely entertaining,with good performances.i love this movie. 5/5
4.0 out of 5 stars An Insightful Film About the Arms Trade,
Moodywoody (Ottawa, Canada) - See all my reviews
Lord of War is a tale about an arms dealer, effectively narrated by Nicholas Cage, who also the star of the film.
The film tears away the veneer of respectability of arms dealers, and makes the convincing argument that much of the butchery occurring in Third World places could be mitigated if we just didn't them access to all these weapons. Though there is a scene in the film where an atrocity is done with machetes, the point is that it makes it easier for the perpetrators to do massacres with guns rather than machetes.
The film does a good job mixing its message along with an interesting storyline and history lesson, making this film something like a docudrama about the arms trade. It offers the moral arguments and rationalizations of the arms dealer, the counter argument being the death and destruction these arms do. However, the end of the film, it offers the depressing scenario that there is too much money and power behind the arms trade, including the complicity of the permanent leading nations on the security council, to have anything ever change.

3.0 out of 5 stars Provokes thoughts on arms dealing,
Eric Lawton (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
I found that the movie telegraphed the plot too much. I knew within 20 minutes many of the plot elements, although I didn't guess the final scene. However, seen as a fictionalized account of the real world arms trade and all the harm it can do, this film is well worth watching. Although turning such a serious issue into entertainment may seem frivolous, it serves its purpose in both entertaining and provoking some thought. Watch it, and see what you think.
5.0 out of 5 stars A classic relating not a brilliant fact...,
This movie is one of greatest movie ever made. It is possible to see and feel the what is involved in the life of a weapon dealer.
5.0 out of 5 stars Just Like Selling Vacuums,
Daffy Bibliophile (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lord Of War (DVD)
This is a movie about a salesman, if you're looking for a shoot-em-up war movie look elsewhere. What does Yuri Orlov (Nicholas Cage) sell? He sells conventional arms to anyone who will buy them: assault rifles, grenades, helicopters, APCs, Orlov has them all. He sells weapons to anyone with money, never taking sides and never passing judgement. Orlov marries the girl of his dreams, has a son and everything seems okay but an Interpol agent is after Orlov and soon his life comes apart at the seams. Living his multiple lives eventually catches up with him and with the people closest to him.
Okay, so Interpol doesn't send agents after people to arrest them and there are other typical Hollywood concessions made in order to keep the plot moving. But there is an important message in this film, a message that the Interpol agent delivers when he refers to the assault rifles and grenades that Yuri Orlov sells as "the real weapons of mass destruction", that and the fact that private arms dealers are very likely used by nation states to supply groups which it would be "embarrassing" to be publicly associated with.
As I said, this is not a silly John Wayne-style war movie, this movie addresses serious issues in the real world of international arms dealers, "revolutionary" groups in the Third World and the complicity of major world powers in the whole rotten system. As entertainment it flows well and the acting is very good. I especially liked Nicholas Cage's blase, morally disconnected portrayal of a man who succeeds beyond his wildest dreams and hates himself for it.

1.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars for the film; 0 stars for DVD edition,
papundek (Thunder Bay, ON) - See all my reviews
This is an intelligent, high-quality film that doesn't deserve to be butchered by whoever decided to release it in a massacred "widescreen" edition. I say "widescreen" because the film has been reformated for what they label as '16:9 DVD Screen Format' (i.e. 1.78:1) and has not been released in its original theatrical widescreen version of 2.35:1. They probably did this to appease people with 16:9 TV sets who cannot bear to have a bit of black bars on top and bottom of the screen, or don't know how to use 'intelligent zoom' function on their TV set. What a shame!!! Although I have not seen the film in theater, watching it at home I was more than distracted by odd framing due to the reformating done to the material, which seriously took away from enjoying otherwise superb a movie. Please do not buy this DVD edition because that will just encourage more butchering in the future; instead, if you like the film, demand that it be released in a proper widescreen that preserves the ratio of original theatrical exibition.

Chen, Soo Kien and X, Xu and Kim, J H and Shi, Xue Dou and Driscoll, Judith (2010) The effects of C substitution and disorder on the field dependent critical current density in MgB2 with nano-SiC additions. Physica C: Superconductivity, 470 (20). pp. 1211-1215. ISSN 0921-4534
Full text not available from this repository.
In this work, nano sized SiC powders were mixed with Mg and B and reacted by either a one-step insitu or two-step method resulted in different level of C substitution. X-ray diffraction shows the presence of Mg2Si signifying that the reaction between SiC and Mg occurred leading to the release of C in samples reacted in one-step method. Moreover, the much reduced value of a-axis indicates C substitution took place. Resistivity measurements showed higher intragrain scattering owing to a higher density of defects and/or impurities. These samples also show higher Hirr and Hc2 at 20 K in comparison to samples with mainly unreacted SiC (hence lower C substitution). More importantly, their Jc's are more insensitive to high magnetic field (>4 T) at 6 K. However, at 20 K the effect of C content on Jc(H) is less pronounced. Finally, the order of magnitude of Jc(H) at both 6 K and 20 K is rather dominated by pinning.

Numerical Studies on Obstructive Apnea Syndrome
Due to a Narrowed Airway
"Quality of sleep" has attracted a great deal of attention in the healthcare community recently. Obstructive apnea syndrome is one of the most common reasons for sleeplessness and it is the focus of this research. Obstructive apnea syndrome significantly reduces the airflow in and out of the airway in that it causes a thickening of the soft tissue in the patient's larynx. Especially during the sleep, the area around the patient's larynx becomes extremely narrow. As a result, the patient experiences difficulty in breathing and becomes restless. Obstructive apnea syndrome causes those who suffer from it to not be able to concentrate at work. This, in part, can have a negative effect on the patient's overall quality of life.
The following section describes the processes involved in this research including importing the medical image reconstruction of the surface and geometric models, generating the mesh of the upper airway, and the flow analysis. Simulated velocity and pressure fields are useful in diagnosing respiratory diseases. We learn from this study that by analyzing the flow field in the upper airways and understanding the characteristics of the realistic flow field, more complete information is obtained that can significantly help with diagnosis.
Image Reconstruction and Numerical Models
In this research, the 3D geometry of the human airway was reconstructed using patient X-ray data. The 3D geometry was generated using the commercial software package Amira-TGS (Fig. 4). There were a total of 455 images scanned from the X-rays. Each image consisted of 512 x 512 voxels. The gap between the two scanned neighboring images was 0.8mm. After obtaining the reconstructed 3D model, we used the commercial software package ICEMTM to generate a computational fluid dynamics-based (CFD) 3D tetrahedral unstructured mesh. The simulation of the airflow in the trachea was rendered in 3D. In this study, the gravitational effect, heat source, heat transfer, phase change, and chemical reactions were all ignored. The airflow in the trachea was assumed to be laminar and incompressible. The fluid inhaled from the opening was considered to be normal air. The parameters at the inlet were preset as 1,038 for Re(=U D / ν), and 1.589.10-5 m-2s-1 for kinetic viscosity ν. A no-slip condition was imposed on the surface of the trachea. The initial velocity and pressure in the trachea were zero.
After constructing the mesh, we performed the Finite Volume Method-based simulation using the commercial software package CFDRCTM. The computer used to execute the simulation was a PC Cluster provided by the National Center for High-Performance Computing (NCHC). The computational time required to reach the preset convergence condition was, on average, one day for each case studied.
▲ Fig. 4. The pre and post surgery changes in the airway of a patient with obstructive apnea syndrome
Results and Discussion
This research numerically analyzes the flow field of the narrowed upper airway resulting from obstructive apnea syndrome. By comparing the simulation results (constructed using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)) obtained from the airway geometry of a patient before and after surgery, we found that, before surgery, it was more difficult for the patient to breathe due to an abrupt drop in air pressure in the pharynx and throat. The condition greatly improved post surgery.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the flow field of a patient suffering from obstructive apnea syndrome, pre and post surgery, by means of numerical simulations, and to provide a pre-surgery evaluation of the patient's condition. By observing the pressure difference resulting from the changed vessels of the pharynx and larynx, the patient can better understand his condition and the physician can diagnose the disease more easily (Fig. 5).

Now it's off to Fort William Henry in Lake George, NY. This place dates back to before the American Revolution. Forts? Usually haunted. Pre-Revolutionary structures? Usually Haunted. Oh, and during the French and Indian war some Native Americans went haywire after defeating the British and began massacring and cannibalizing survivors. Over 1,000 people were killed. Think there may be a ghost or two sticking around from that? Ummmmm -
The reports from the Fort include lights flickering on and off, footsteps and chimes ringing when there's no breeze. There's also the touching, grabbing, marching noises, a shadow man, bottles moving and apparitions that actually fight with each other!
Here are highlights of the investigation: Jason and Grant hear and record heavy footsteps above the gift shop area - and where they were coming from were display cases so NO ONE could have been walking there! Adam gets to work trying to disprove that the bottles could move independently. Meanwhile K.J. and Amy hear something running around the gift shop. Steve and Tango hear someone cough in the Colonel's office. Jason and Grant find loads of beehives inside the cannons, a sign that there's probably a lot of animal activity that could be confused for paranormal activity.
The evidence revealed a male voice caught on tape, as well as the footsteps. They were able to debunk some claims, but other things are not so easily explained.
The Ghost Hunters cast give a shout out to their fans!
The cast assigns superlatives to their fellow investigators as part of Ghost Hunters 10th anniversary celebration.
The cast shares their scariest moments from the last ten years of Ghost Hunters.

October 2nd, 2010Pirate Face Painting (4)
Some beard stubble, a simple mustache, an eye patch, and a bandanna is all it takes to paint an effective pirate face. A scar or two on the cheek can also be used for extra effect.
September 19th (every year) is International Talk Like A Pirate Day.

The application is a CAD app and it must be able to load in literally millions of objects. The objects are low detail meshes and for a worst case scenario, the scene has around 20million vertices. I'm not really concerned about detail, lighting looking too correct or even rendering performance, I'd gladly sacrifice some rendering performance to load the entire model in! > > What the system must be able to do is load the entire model (we have some guideline models) into memory, under a 32bit OS limit. A legacy app being replaced uses OpenGL slow paths (Begin/End) and computes the normals manually. This has 1 normal per triangle (or less for some flat surfaces) whereas OSG is using 1 normal per vertex. Sure it looks a LOT better and its also higher performance in OSG, but it's also using approximately double the memory to render the same model. > > I have heard about PagedLOD but I am not sure how much of a performance hit this will give us when the objects are loaded/unloaded, as there are literally millions of objects in a small viewable area. I just noticed that disabling the smoothing visitor for objects (ie: having no normals) saved several hundred megabytes, and found out by trial/error that in OSG each vertex Vec3f has a normal (Another Vec3f) and an index associated with it. > > So would you happen to know if there is anything I can do (bar PagedLOD) to reduce the memory consumption in this application? I was hoping to target the normal generation and output one normal per triangle as opposed to one per vertex, as this would shave a few hundred megabytes from the app when under load. > > Thank you, > James Well one idea I've had kicking around in my head for several years, may be possible with a custom vertex shader. Take a sphere, generate a mesh for it, take the surface normals and store them. (well actually you don't need to generate the mesh, working out a normal for a point on the sphere is trivial) Then for every triangle/quad, simply chose one of the stored normals which is 'closest' to your calculated normal and 'associate' the index for that normal with the primitive. After all if you are flat shading stuff, the minor difference between the proper normal and the 'closest' normal will only have a minor effect on the resultant shading. This scheme requires you be able to specify a 'normal index' array, I don't think you can do this with the fixed pipeline, which is why you'd need a customer vertex shader. I'm not familiar enough with shaders though to say it's actually possible to do that., but it looks doable. This would save huge amounts of ram and you'd get away with only using a byte for the normal index. -- http://www.ssTk.co.uk

I found a post on Girls of a Certain Age about an apartment in Paris that was unlived in for decades. This unoccupied Paris apartment is owned by the estate of a woman who paid rent every month, yet never returned after leaving to avoid Nazi occupation. Finding this information online makes me doubt its truthfulness, but I appreciate the story behind it anyway.
I'm sure anti-clutter mavens would have fun tearing apart this beauty of a space. I also wonder if the books on the shelves have e-book counterparts yet. And the stuffed ostrich is especially appropriate. They are known for burying their heads in the sand, though this is not true. When an ostrich needs to defend itself, the neck is bent closer to the ground to appear invisible. This technique must work for them most of the time.
The thought of this space being unused for years, yet paid for monthly reminds me of my blog. I haven't taken it down, yet I don't write here often. Why? Well, I have many good excuses, and I don't beat myself up for having them. Life is full, is that such a bad thing?
It takes a great amount of delusion to hold on to some beliefs. I think the renter should have given up on the apartment long ago, but she did not want to. It is possible she deluded herself into believing she might return. This isn't as sad as it seems. She never gave up on her dream, and the dream died with her didn't it? I can always imagine that my blog will become useful resource. Keeping our beliefs, even if they may never become fulfilled, keeps us motivated. And if I live the same 91 years as the person who owned the apartment, I'm going to need a few things to always strive for. And hope for a useful blog is a fine thing to want.

Moon and Saturn
- ‹ Previous program
- 42 of 2160
- Next program ›
Titan, the largest moon of the planet Saturn, is one of a kind: It's the only moon in the solar system that has an atmosphere that's thicker than Earth's. And the atmosphere's main component is nitrogen -- the same gas that makes up most of our air.
But another compound in Titan's air is responsible for helping keep the air in place. Methane makes up just five percent of Titan's atmosphere, but it's a powerful greenhouse gas, so it warms the atmosphere by quite a bit. In fact, without this warming effect, Titan's air would get so cold that the nitrogen would condense and fall onto the surface, leaving the moon with almost no air at all.
Methane does other important things on Titan. It forms a cold rain, just like water raining on Earth. As the liquid methane hits the surface, it carves rivers, and it pools to form lakes. Over time, some of it evaporates back into the atmosphere, where it can once again form rain.
Methane is also responsible for Titan's orange color. Sunlight strikes some of the methane in the air and converts it to heavier molecules, which blanket the moon in an orange haze.
So while methane makes up only a fraction of Titan's atmosphere, it plays a major role in the satellite's daily life.
Saturn is in good view tonight. It looks like a bright star to the upper left of the Moon as they rise in mid-evening. Titan is visible through small telescopes. It looks like a tiny star quite near Saturn.

The International Journal of Sustainable Development and Planning is an interdisciplinary journal covering the subjects of environmental design and planning, environmental management, spatial planning, environmental planning, environmental management and sustainable development in an integrated way as well as in accordance with the principles of sustainability. In the beginning of the 21st century, despite major scientific and technological accomplishments, the struggle for a cleaner environment as well as for rational organization of space is not settled. It is clear to us that environmentalists, planners, policy makers, engineers and economists have to work together in order to ensure that environmental protection, spatial co-ordination and economic development could all be achieved without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own requirements.
In recent years, an increase in spatial and environmental problems in many countries has led to a crisis in environmental planning and management. The increasing urbanization of the world coupled with the issues of environmental pollution, resource shortages and economic restructuring demand that a lot of effort will be required in order to make our cities sustainable. Moreover, problems of sustainable planning and management are not restricted to urban areas, since rural areas face serious environmental challenges.
The aim of the International Journal of Sustainable Development and Planning is to inform its readers about all aspects of environmental planning and management. The journal includes subjects ranging from social to technical environmental management issues, having always as an axis the concept of sustainable planning and development.
Papers on the following topics, in accordance with the aims and objectives of the journal are welcome:
- Sustainable development
- Environmental legislation and policy
- Ecosystems analysis and protection
- Natural resources management
- Coastal planning and policy
- Waste management
- Environmental infrastructure
- Air, water and soil pollution
- Remediation and recovery
- Geo-informatics and the environment
- Environmental impact assessment

Knights Picked Fourth
ST. PAUL, Minn. - The MLC football team was picked to finish fourth in the UMAC in the preseason coaches poll released Wednesday.
The Knights finished with 55 points in the poll, just two shy of third place finisher UM-Morris.
MLC will look to its defense for much of the season, which returns eight starters from last season's 5-4 team. All-conference performers Chuqee Fletcher and Benjamin Olson will look to lead that side of the ball.
Offensively, the Knights return three starters along the offensive line, while Ryan Schmeling, Joe Lindloff and Mark Voss make up a new look backfield behind them.
Greenville finished first in the poll, taking all nine possible first place votes in the process. St. Scholastica and UM-Morris finished second and third, respectively.

4th Grade
In order to move students forward in reading and writing, it is essential to have efficient and effective instruction in word study.
Words Their Way provides this instruction through a researched-based approach that allows students to receive instruction at their developmental level. Words Their Ways addresses foundational skills (phonics), spelling, and vocabulary through working with words: examining, manipulating, comparing, and categorizing.
Words Their Way does not use traditional spelling tests. Instead, we use the child-centered approach that helps students recognize and learn to apply sound, pattern, and meaning in their sorts and beyond isolated lists.
Activities to support your child at home:
Remember: The words that your child brings home are not intended to be memorized for a test.
Instead, help them sort and categorize the word cards based on the headings or key words (such as CVC, –ion, or oddballs). The headings are written in bold. Usually there are words that are also in bold print. These bolded words are an example of the type of words that fit under a heading.

May 17, 2013 12:32 PM
DALLAS (NBC News) - Hundreds of families across north Texas are working through the debris left after a string of deadly tornados ripped through the area.
Six people were killed and several are still missing after more than a dozen twisters touched down just outside of Fort Worth Wednesday night.
Judith Butner was in her trailer when the storms hit.
"It started rocking," she recalls. "I'm on my hands and knees in the bathtub, and on the fourth rock it just up-ended and toppled and blew me into the next door neighbors yard."
When she awoke Butner had a broken leg, scratches and bruises.
A handful of residents are still missing, but after an extensive search officials believe they are safe.
"I am very confident that we will find the people alive and well, and that they just haven't reported in to us," says Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds.

The meaning of Tae Kwon Do?
Self Defense Tips

Rules of Proper Discipline
Rules for a Healthy Lifestyle
What is the meaning of Tae Kwon Do?
To put it simply Tae Kwon Do is a version of unarmed combat designed for the purpose of self-defense. It is more than just that, however. It is the scientific use of the body in the method of self-defense; a body that has gained the ultimate use of its facilities through physical and mental training.
It is a martial art that has no equal in either power or technique. Though it is a martial art, its discipline, technique and mental training are the mortar for building a strong sense of justice fortitude humility and resolve. It is this mental conditioning that separates the true practitioner from the sensationalist, content with mastering only the fighting aspects of the art.
This one of the reasons that Tae kwon-Do is called an art of self-defense. It also implies a way of thinking and life, particularly in instilling a concept and spirit of strict self-imposed discipline and an ideal of noble moral rearmament. The nearest description of it is almost a cult.
Translate literally "TAE" stands for jumping or flying, to kick or smash with the foot, "Kwon" denotes the fist-chiefly to punch or destroy with the hand or fist. "Do" means an art or way – the right way built and paved by the saints and sages in the past.
Thus taken collectively "Tae kwon-Do" indicates the mental training and the techniques of unarmed combat for self-defense as well as health, involving the skilled application of punches, kicks, blocks and dodges with bare hands and feet to the rapid destruction of the moving opponent or opponents.

the common form of ancient books. The Hebrew word rendered "roll" or "volume" is meghillah , found in Ezra 6:2 ; Psalms 40:7 ; Jeremiah 36:2 Jeremiah 36:6 Jeremiah 36:23 Jeremiah 36:28 Jeremiah 36:29 ; Ezekiel 2:9 ; 3:1-3 ; Zechariah 5:1 Zechariah 5:2 . "Rolls" (Chald. pl. of sephar, corresponding to Heb. sepher) in Ezra 6:1 is rendered in the Revised Version "archives." In the New Testament the word "volume" ( Hebrews 10:7 ; RSV, "roll") occurs as the rendering of the Greek kephalis, meaning the head or top of the stick or cylinder on which the manuscript was rolled, and hence the manuscript itself. (See BOOK .)
A book in ancient times consisted of a single long strip of paper or parchment, which was usually kept rolled upon a stick, and was unrolled when a person wished to read it. The roll was usually written on one side only, and hence the particular notice of one that was "written within and without." ( Ezekiel 2:10 ) The writing was arranged in columns.

We've all seen the classic young lady or old hag optical illusion, but these oil paintings by Oleg Shuplyak are on a whole other level. Famous faces emerge from seemingly normal landscape backgrounds, leaving viewers double taking each piece to fully understand the different perspectives. In some instances the faces are what the eye recognizes first and stepping back, the smaller details that make up the face can be appreciated. Other times the eye is drawn to the landscape and finding the face is more of a challenge. [Read more…]
Mind-blowing Illusions: Anamorphic Sculptures by Jonty Hurwitz
Let's face it, anamorphic art is really flippin' cool. From drawings that jump off of the page by Alessandro Diddi and Nagai Hideyuki to the drawings of István Orosz, where hidden images are revealed only when placing a reflective cylinder in just the right place, we are always down for a good anamorphic mind blowing. These sculptures by Jonty Hurwitz do just that! As much mathematics as it is art, Hurwitz spends months planning and calculating before he materializes his ideas. For his cylindrical mirror paired sculptures, he begins by scanning each object (shown here are hands and a frog), he then digitally distorts the images and sculpts them so that their identity is only revealed in the reflection on the cylinder.

These Are NOT Photographs: Freakishly Realistic Portrait Paintings
Who needs a camera when your painting skills are better than photography? Korean artist Kang-hoon Kang creates large-scaled oil on canvas portraits that look way too real to be paintings- but they are. He doesn't play it safe with flat, simple pictures, rather he shows glare and depth with a range of accessories on his subjects. With dynamic characters, each of his paintings invite the viewer to understand the person. Whether each person is being true to themselves or posing for his desired sentiment, each painting has a persona that begs the question, who am I? [Read more…]
To Your "Health"- Visualizations of Some of the Craziest Popular Fad Diets

The old tried and true eat wholesome, healthy foods and exercise regularly is too difficult in this fast paced world, so instead we convince ourselves that drinking lemon water with maple syrup and cayenne pepper for ten days will make all of our dreams of turning heads on the beach come true. Maybe if we eat nothing but bacon, sausage, and grapefruit we'll get that "healthy" body we've always wanted- who needs kidneys anyway? LA based photographer Stephanie Gonot had the brilliant idea to create visual representations of several fad diets to put into perspective just how dangerous some of these quick fixes really are.

Breaking Bad Locations in Real Life: Screen Shots Juxtaposed Over the Actual Spots Where They Took Place
As the final season of Breaking Bad comes closer to the end, jaws are dropping more and more every week. For those of us who are all caught up with the episodes, waiting for Sunday to see what crazy shenanigans Walter White will get himself into and out of is almost painful. The show is just as addictive to viewers as the Blue Sky is for fictional meth-heads all over Albuquerque. Luckily the world wide web gives us a little fix to make the week go by a little more quickly. Breaking Bad memes, commentary, and art keep the excitement going for the 7 day stretch until the next episode and will hopefully help to fill the empty space in everyone's lives once the final episode has been aired.

Where Do Narwhals Get Their Horns? The Magical Secret Revealed
As the national animal of Scotland, surely unicorns once existed, but where have they all gone? For centuries narwhals have been swimming around in oceans of lies, concealing a secret, but husband-wife artist duo Kozyndan (Kozy & Dan) have revealed their confidential information. Though scientists once believed that a Narwhal's horn is an enormous canine tooth, or tusk, Kozyndan show us that inside of every Narwhal, actually lives A UNICORN! Teaming up with Pretty In Plastic, Kozyndan brought their illustrations of this phenomenon to life with 24″ resin sculptures of their explanation. You can impress your friends with your "in-the-know" status of the Narwhalian truth by displaying one of them in your home or office if you head over to their online shop and place an order.

We Love Friday!- How It Feels to Fly- Ziplining Around the World
Imagine being a bird, soaring through the air. Humans have dreamed of having this super power for as long as they have co-existed with birds and we have found many ways to simulate the experience. Zip-lining is one of these techniques and quickly becoming a popular vacation excursion. From the rain forests to the beaches, mountains, and cities zip-lining is a thrill seeker's way to explore a destination the way a bird would see it. To celebrate this fun frenzy, we searched Instagram for some adventurous images of zip-liners around the world. The fastest known zip-line is in the United Kingdom in Penrhyn Quarry, Bethesda, Wales at Zip World. It measures 0.99 miles long and claims to reach speeds of 99 mph. The award for steepest, tallest, and longest zipline goes to the ZipFlyer Nepal at HighGround Adventures. It is 1.12 miles long with a vertical drop of 2,000ft and goes 75 mph at top speed.

Have You Heard About the BIRD? Gigantic Big Bird Drops Loads of Good Luck on Secret Garden Partiers
This years theme for the annual Secret Garden Party arts and music festival, which is the UK's 4 day version of Burning Man started by Fred Fellowes, was superstition. Since it's a well known superstition that being shat on by a bird brings good luck, Hungry Castle decided to bring lots of good luck to all the attendees with the biggest bird they could think of. When brainstorming for a large bird, there is one particular famous one who often comes to mind- therefore the studio created a large-scale Big Bird to drop loads (of luck) on the Secret Garden Partiers as they slid down a super fun slip-n-slide on a hill!

10 Tips for Naming a Jewish Baby, Inspired by Scarlett Johansson

Comments about Black Out Contact Lens, 1 lens per vial:
These contacts delivered more than anticipated. While I did expect a black out effect, I didn't expect them to look so eerie. They do give you a doe-eyed look, but the effect borderlines creepy. I experienced some slight tunnel vision on the lower outer edges, but it's easy to adapt. They're easy to clean, and maintain. Most importantly they're incredibly comfortable. I would highly recommend ^__^
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Awesome Lens!
By Nikita
from CT
About Me Experienced wearer
I really enjoyed wearing these lenses. Although the curvature of the lens was more then that I normally wear, it was not nearly as uncomfortable as I was anticipating! In darkness the peripheral blocking was almost unnoticeable. They looked very interesting, with "cute" makeup these lenses make you look doe-eyed. But with heavy/natural makeup they are very eery! In general a great lens, worth the money. Just make sure you get the curvature as close to your natural curvature as possible, or they may start to feel uncomfortable.

Nice, but not quite what I expected
By Ross
from Tampa, FL
About Me Experienced wearer, New to colored lenses
I was hoping that these would give me a spooky, dead-eyed look, but they are very shiny, like an eye, so rather than giving me a spooky look, it gave me a doe-eyed look like an anime character. Not a deal-breaker; I wear them anyway. As long as you know what you're getting, I recommend them. Even though my vision is not quite as clear as with regular contacts, they are very comfortable and since they're stiffer than my regular contacts, they are easy to put in, despite their larger size.

A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on February 7, 2006
(Fairfax, VA) - This afternoon Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) introduced legislation to eliminate the requirement in the 1996 Welfare Reform Bill that requires hunters and fishermen to furnish their social security numbers when getting a license.
"Across America, hunting and fishing is an age old heritage that is passed on from one generation to the next. Our outdoor sportsmen should not be required to surrender sensitive information and risk being victims of identity theft to preserve this legacy. This is much needed reform and the NRA would like to thank Senator Santorum for leading this effort in the United States Senate," said Chris W. Cox, NRA's chief lobbyist.
Senator Santorum's bill is a companion to H.R. 4144, introduced in the House by Representative Phil English, also of Pennsylvania. The House version of the bill has been referred to the Ways and Means Committee.
"This proposed law will help save 16 million hunters and another 34 million fishermen who buy fishing licenses every year from falling victim to identity theft," continued Cox. "On behalf of NRA members across the country, I want to thank Senator Rick Santorum for his support of the hunters and fishermen and his work to preserve our country's strong outdoor traditions."
Established in 1871, the National Rifle Association is America's oldest civil rights and sportsmen's group. Four million members strong, NRA continues its mission to uphold Second Amendment rights and to advocate enforcement of existing laws against violent offenders to reduce crime. The Association remains the nation's leader in firearm education and training for law-abiding gun owners, law enforcement and the armed services.
Politics, Registration & Licensing
Established in 1975, the Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) is the "lobbying" arm of the National Rifle Association of America. ILA is responsible for preserving the right of all law-abiding individuals in the legislative, political, and legal arenas, to purchase, possess and use firearms for legitimate purposes as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.READ MORE
