Help. News reader cannot stop laughing at model falling over! - Stumbl. Triond - Dashboard. X Factor: It’s Back | Telewatcher. Are we in for another fantastic year on The X Factor? Image via Wikipedia I hope so. The talent last year was very impressive, and we had a very worthy winner. Even those that didn’t make it to the final three, seem to have progressing careers ahead of them. With the new set up, Britain’s Got Talent’ style, the public audience now even have a say in the auditions as they watch and are encouraged to vocalise their opinions of auditionees with cheers or boo’s.

The auditions are probably the best part of the show, with auditions like these causing shock, laughter and utter disbelief: Although Leona Lewis & Alexandra Burke were excellent choices for winners, i believe this year we need something different. Lets hope this years show finds something unique and new. Saturday night TV is back. The X factor. I’m Joining in with the Haiku Thing.

V for Victory, Morse Code, and Beethoven’s Fifth During WWII, some trains in the UK would sound their train whistle as they approached a station in three short notes, followed by a longer forth note on a lower-toned horn. The ‘dot-dot-dot-dash’ of Morse Code they were signaling is the letter “V” which also was used as short code for the word “Victory.”

A Most Ghoulish Nightmare. A few weeks before the Christmas holidays I had a rather intense and nightmarish dream. Lucid dreaming is not uncommon for me, be it a nightmare of being chased by tyrannosauruses, lost in a rugged mountainous terrain and being pursued by headhunters, or truly bizarre dreams of watching myself and my family being eaten by an alligator then becoming omnipotent and making what could only be called a series of very unwise choices thereafter (see I Had a Weird Dream by author.) In this more recent dream I got use of my recently acquired Canadian Cultural Access Pass to view the vaults of a major museum in an after-hours educational consultation. I was shown an object that very few people have ever seen. Only a handful of people in the entire world know of it.

Its very existence has been kept secret. Vlad the Impaler Vlad III, a Prince of Wallachia was a hero in his day for the resistance against the Ottoman Empire and their expansionism. (image source) Five Tennis Players Against Maria Sharapova, and She Still Wins! This is amusing! The video is a bit long but in the spirit of Japanese games this is funny and the team playing against tennis star Maria Sharapova are good sports and honorable. They almost beat her, but she makes game point and outscores her opponents. Ah tennis. The sport of nobility, white tennis shoes and sweet little tank tops on the women. Not really my game but it’s Maria Sharapova so, I would sit in the audience had I been offered the opportunity. She is an excellent player of the game, a good sport for partaking in this silly match-up and let’s admit it fellas, she is extensively easy upon the eye.

Isn’t that just wild? Image via Wikipedia -You’ve got to love those Japanese for their exemplary sportsman-like grace and strange games and oh yeah, how about that Maria Sharapova? American Kestrel, The Sparrow Hawk. Favorite Son of Falconry | S. We had a nesting pair of these use a hollow in the apple tree in front of my parent’s house when I was a teenager. It was neat seeing these magnificent-looking falcons flying in and out of the nest. Kestrels pair-bond for the most part and year after year, will often return to the same nesting spot. Both the male and female tend the nest and to the care and raising of the young. Although a falcon which might suggest a diet of only mammals, the American kestrel’s diet is mostly insects. American Kestrel, a.k.a. Sparrow Hawk (image source) These migratory birds do fly south for the winter although it is not unheard of that some males remain locally even throughout the winter.

Sparrow Hawk (image source) American kestrels are the smallest of the falcon species in all of North America, being roughly the size of an American Robin. Over-wintering kestrels will prey upon small birds and mice which are available year ‘round. Reminiscing The Pyramids of Chichen Itza, Mexico. The Castle at Chichen Itza A UNESCO World Heritage Site There are 91 steps to get to the top of this pyramid or castle (El Castillo,) one set of stairs on each of the four sides.

With the top step being the alter you see here, the total number of steps is 365. The same number of days in the year. Image by ramonbaile via Flickr Chichen Itza’s Castle became one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007, after a worldwide vote enthusiastically named El Castillo to the list. We were fortunate to still be permitted to climb the steps of this pyramid on our Honeymoon in June 2003. I remembered only blue skies and blazing sun that day but the 35MM photos when developed showed that there was a thin blanket of white cirrus-and cumulus type clouds. More UV is present even under cover of shade on semi-cloudy days versus cloudless days as a result. Gag Me Until I Puke! Balut: A Delicacy That is Foul Fowl | Quaze. Balut: A Nearly-hatched Cooked Chicken Embryo Delicacy (image source) It isn’t even ‘street meat’ in my humble opinion. This just simply looks nasty! Although it can be served in a dollop of hot sauce and often with beer both of which I love, it still does not look appealing.

It is said that Balut is an aphrodisiac. OMG Yum, -NOT! (image source) In fairness to the pricks who eat chicks, -if it tastes good then by all means enjoy! It Does Not Look Right. (image source) A purported balance of flavor and texture notwithstanding, my first reaction remains eww! It Isn’t Kosher I’ll Say That!

Vinegar has been used as a curative, disinfectant and food preserver/flavor enhancer in many cultures around the world ever since. Image via Wikipedia Some benefits of vinegar include: Condiment/Flavor Enhancer for Food Items Foods such as beetroot and flavorful combinations such as Fish-and-chips have benefited from the liberal addition of vinegar prior to consumption.

Pickling and Preserving Image via Wikipedia Brining (or corning) of food is a process by which food items can be preserved in heavily salted water.

A Simple Woodworking Project: Gift Idea. With peg legs that extend horizontally from the body by approximately 4-inches, a small hand-towel can be hung here. Positioned on either side of a curtained window, the curtains can be drawn-back by stuffing each one respectively between the legs of the duck on each side. Notice that this duck looks over his left shoulder and the next one looks over his right shoulder. They are intended to face each other as a pair for framing a curtained window over a kitchen sink.

Starting with a clean board (example shown below,) you can freehand-sketch your design. For this project we shall use a board that is 15-inches long, 6 1/2 inches wide by 1-inch thick.

Drill the Holes for the Legs and Feet Now, While Still On the Whole Board. The Bat-Eared Fennec Fox. The Desert Fox of the Sahara Their most noteworthy physical feature are those stunningly over-sized ears, disproportionately large for their diminutive body.

Living in North Africa and the regions north of the Sahara Dessert, these large ears probably serve several adaptation purposes. Mainly, large ears can detect even the smallest of sounds such as approaching predators and of course, the presence of live food. These large sound-gathering ears hear movements of burrowing rodents under the sand, the rustling of insects and small birds, all of which are part of their diet. They are an opportunistic omnivore. Image via Wikipedia Image via Wikipedia Large ears also serve to dissipate body heat via the many blood capillaries that run through them. Of interest is that the Fennec Fox is an alternative pet. The playful nature of Fennec Foxes is also similar to ferrets; they are always willing to run and tumble, explore and play.

Twilight New Moon Movie It seems that the best answer is that is means “stay with me forever.” Jacob says this to Bella just before the almost-kiss, if I understand the scene. An incredibly romantic overture but if this is coming from a vampire this must be tantamount to saying “let me make you dead forever.” Young fans (mostly young women I should think) have been swooning over this movie. Myself, I am left to scratch my head and wonder what everyone is so fussed-up about. The main character is an undead.

(image source) Vampires have not been this cool since Wesley Snipe’s portrayal of ‘the daywalker’ in the “Blade” series of movies. I really don’t understand this current rise in romantic infatuation with vampires. While I’m on the subject, I was never a fan of he whole J.R.R. I am not a fan of many recent big-name movies of the current decade including the entire Harry Potter series. In my own defense and of the talented authoress J.K. What Not to Wear [Funny] | ÜberPix.

I recently watched a David Attenborough series called ‘Life’, and the episode that impresses me most was the one about plant life. It gave me a different perspective of plants and a greater respect for them.

Image by snappybex via Flickr The way that plants use their surroundings to their advantage and adapt over the years to help them survive. For instance, the spinning jenny, is a clever way for a tree to spread their seed and ensure the survival of their species. Some plants grow simply to create a seed that spreads, then the plant dies and the cycles continues like that! Back to photosynthesis as a topic, the man who first discovered that plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen was a man called Jan Ingenhousz back in the 18th century. The word photosynthesis means ‘putting together by light’ The formula for photosynthesis is as follows : Funny One Liners and a Few Jokes Thrown in Too. Blonde Jokes. Sir Waddy Waddy Balancing Acts.
