pretty nice!

Beautiful inside, too. They've really fixed it up nice. I just want to live there (wish the other cabin wasn't in such bad shape) and go to HockingCollege to be a student of one of these natural resources programs. ;)

An intern, Emma Hurst, spent months archiving home movies from the 1920s through the 1970s. I have no idea where these movies came from, but they were in some archives.
Anyway, she went through and got stills from some of the most interesting one, and created this tumblr of just stills. I had trouble deciding which was the best sample to show here, so here are three images. There are hundreds more at the link. Vacation pictures, birthday parties, holidays, burning cars on the highway, etc. etc. Attachment 42933 Attachment 42934 Attachment 42935 |

Like sculpture? Click on "Works" at the link.
Yong Ho Ji sculpts animals, hybrid animals, and people out of used tires. Awesome stuff. He calls this one 'Wolfman'. Attachment 42982 |
I'd like to see him on a mountain overlooking a city, draped in white silk (the rubber monster, not the city.)

Harry Potter Hogwarts entirely made out of LEGO
My daughter sent me this link about a good friend of hers in the Seattle area who built a huge model of Hogwarts out of LEGO bricks and parts. It's pretty amazing. I think her husband works for Microsoft or one of the other bit technology companies.

There are some really hilarious bad photgraphy/shops in this link. I had one I wanted to post, but there is no longer a 'picture manager' like I was used to that reduced the pixels and crap so I could post the image without making it a postage stamp.
Oh, and found out Windows 7 ALSO doesn't allow password protecting zipped folders anymore. WTF? I did all this work for a report, screenshots of the process, organized them, zipped them into the final folder, tried to password protect to send on...only to find out FINALLY from a google search that Windows 7 don't play that. Which is really stoopid. Anyway...here's the site. I wanted to post one of the pics of a woman holding screaming babies (twins I guess) but the funny part is the facebook posts which reveal their names are (drum roll please) Rayne and Shyne. :facepalm: http://youarenotaphotographer.com/ |
Tell me how this one ends.
My toes cramped and I :eek: :mg: :facepalm: at the 2nd scene of the tightrope walker. . |
I totally want to do that shit before I die. Hopefully not the moment before I die, but long enough before that I can enjoy it afterwards.

Did you watch the Behind the Scenes video linked at the end? They give you contact information for the people who can take you up there and set it up.
Do it. Doooo eeeeeet. |
I will.

Fun For Children of All Ages
Have a ball with your kids... or without 'em, doing nifty stuff from this 1820 book called Endless Amusement.
Oh, you'll need a good supply of things like Aqua Fortis, Salt Peter, Mercury, Phosphorus, and Sulfur, for the best ones. But some need almost nothing. |
Alternative
So your mommy and your teachers said you can be anything you want to be, to which you said, I want to be an astronaut. Well reality bites, the US space program devolves and dreams fade.
But buck up bubby, there's an alternative, you can be an aquanaut. You can be a Saturation Diver. Quote:

This guy, Steven Mis????? ovich, set,at the time a world record for underwater pipe welds. He stopped diving when someone cut his air off. I welded with him for Brown & Root. Think was 1979.
Not too long after, he passed away from Leukemia. Think his estate got bucks from B&R |

Excellent link, Bruce.
I'm struck by the different economic levels and the houses just as much as by the toys. Look at all that insulation in the wall of the Swedish house! And the dirty (actually coated with earth) sheets in one of those mud huts in Africa. And all the kids are proud of their toys, regardless of economic level. |

Lifespan Calculator
Only 13 questions. Accuracy? I'll let ya know in about 15 years. Congratulations??? I don't think so, Scooter. Attachment 43266 |
I'm already dead. :rolleyes:

I got 91, but I don't believe that for a second. No-one in my family has made it past 82, and most have died in their 60s and 70s.

88, but I haven't saved that much money. I might have to sell a kidney to finance the last decade.

It put me at 93 - 96 depending on how active I say I am ... :lol:
Just one little question they forgot to ask. |
91.
Sounds right. |
90. That's a long sentence. I could get time off for bad behavior.

Some cool examples of minerals or materials with amazing properties. Crystals that melt in your hand, liquid that freezes as you pour it onto a surface, powders that explode when tickled with a feather... |
Those are cool.

Unusual web site of illustrations from medieval manuscript margins. I don't know if it's legit. It looks like it is. Anyway those medieval illustrators has some weird ideas. Here are a couple.
Daphne being turned into a tree. Attachment 43711 The Eggman Attachment 43712 I'm not going to embed medieval goatse. You'll have to click the link. |
I think it's legit, as there have been articles about the practice from several websites this past winter. One showed a bunch of Hares hunting down a dog, bringing it to court for trial, hanging and burial, then another dog digging up and chewing the first dogs bones. All over the margins of several pages and rather gruesome.
|
The Daphne thing is an old Greek legend. Apollo, the horny fellow, was chasing her with sexual intent. She was about to be caught so she prayed to her father, Zeus, to save her, and he turned her into a tree. Insert "woody" joke here.
Renaissance artist Bernini (who TOTALLY should have had a Ninja Turtle named after him) did a #$%&ing brilliant sculpture of this. See https://www.google.com.au/search?hl=...JaSiiAeO64DgBg for some sample pics. Or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3RSRrUL1Os This is my favourite piece of art, evah. |
Check the knothole for squirrels. ;)

Interesting article about an open pit copper mine landslide almost two weeks ago.
This mine near Salt Lake City is the largest in the US and produces 17 percent of all US copper. The landslide closed the mine, resulting in a small jump in copper prices. The interesting thing in the article is that this isn't just going to impact copper prices while they get the mine up and running again. It will increase to cost of copper permanently because the landslide was not predicted using current methods. Insurance will pay for this accident, at least in part. But the insurance companies calculated copper mine risk based on old methods. Those old methods said this mine was safe. So either mining has to change, which will be more expensive, or insurers will have to charge more to account for the increase in risk. Or both. Either way, the price of copper is going to go up around the world. Electronics, wires, pipes, fertilizer are all going to take a little hit. Attachment 43765 |

WOW ! There by the grace of God ...
Had it gone in another direction, Utah might have it's own "Great Salt Lake tsunami". |
It's an interesting piece, right up to the point where he talks about the prices and the global ripples. At that point the author slipped and fell and hurt his head and will need hospitalization to recover.
Copper prices have been steadily falling, including in the last two weeks despite this event. And despite this event, worldwide production will outstrip demand in 2013. Goldman Sachs said so less than an hour ago. May futures are down. Quote:
|
Well, that's good. The article mentioned that this mine accounted for 1% of world production, so the loss of its production didn't seem like it would be that huge. I wonder about the insurance angle. Goldman Sachs has probably already accounted for that though.
|
The increased use of plastic for plumbing/piping, and the drop in new housing drove the prices down.
Copper will continue to decline until all the empty houses in Detroit are stripped. :haha: |
Start saving your pennies... they may go on the endangered species list

Do you have a zinc to that. :haha:

Simpsons
I found this video on Conan O'Brien chatting with four other writers from the Simpsons. They talk about the history, dealing with FOX, dealing with guest stars, and a lot of things that happened behind the scenes.
It's long, very long, 81 minutes, but interesting to fans. One tidbit was the show with Michael Jackson guesting. They sent him a rough draft and asked if he would do a show. He sent it back with a couple very funny jokes penciled in, and said he'd love to, So they sent him the final script, and he showed up knowing his lines and very cooperative... unlike some guests. So they are taping away and it comes time for him to sing the first of his songs, he stops dead, and motions to one of his entourage to come in the booth. Everybody's looking at each other like WTF, and this little white dude comes in the booth and starts singing Jacko's song. Turns out the dude was the Lennon Sister's little brother, and he sang it perfectly, just like Jacko. There was some kind of contractual problem with Jacko singing on the show. I didn't know they had singing voice doubles, it makes me think of Milli Vanilli, but of course Jacko could sing. Oh, they all agreed Johnny Carson was probably the finest human being in show business. There's much more. |
