Les 50 photos au timing parfait | JSBG.me - Pale Moon. BIG-ASS MESSAGE - Pale Moon. No pride in Team GB's Olympic mascot | Simon Hattenstone. Pride – 'the snow lion that didn't roar' – is Team GB's mascot for London's 2012 Olympic Games. Pride the Lion, eh? Poor sod. If there's one thing our new mascot would appear to lack, it is pride. No muscles, no genitals, pathetic love-me love-me eyes, a union flag mohican/afro mane, a lobotomised smile … and he appears to be made of snow. Why do we get it so wrong with our mascots?
Only that's not really our bag these days. The only thing in favour of the creative team that devised Pride is that it does seem to have implicitly acknowledged our changing status. Other countries have been so much more humble or graceful with their mascots. Why aren't we more honest with our mascot?
Perhaps the Churchillian British bulldog could be customised into, say, a pitbull terrier sinking its fangs into a pensioner? In fact, we could get away from animals all together in our quest to find something truly representative of modern Britain. There's still time.

"Body-Connected Bike" Patent Number: 6,805,657 B2Date of Patent: Oct. 19, 2004 This idea takes two separate wheels and connects them with a body.
The front wheel has a set of handlebars centered through the middle of the wheel, and the back has a small platform on which the rider can kneel. When mounted, the end result looks like a low-tech version of the Tron Light Cycle.

YouTube : prison pour un motard qui publie ses exploits. A 6 et 7 ans, ils fuguent pour se marier. L'idée était romantique: deux enfants éperdument amoureux ont fugué le jour de l'An avec la ferme intention de convoler en justes noces au soleil... en Afrique, a indiqué lundi la police allemande. La nuit de la Saint-Sylvestre, le petit Mika, six ans, raconte aux deux filles de la nouvelle compagne de son père divorcé, Anna-Lena et Anna-Bell, ses dernières vacances passées en Italie.
"De là, les enfants ont construit des projets d'avenir", rapporte à l'AFP, Holger Jureczko, porte-parole de la police fédérale. Issus de familles monoparentales, Mika et Anna-Lena, sept ans, "s'aiment beaucoup et décident de se marier en Afrique, là où il fait chaud en prenant pour témoin la petite soeur d'Anna-Lena, Anna-Bell, âgée de cinq", selon le porte-parole. Le matin du jour de l'An, les trois bouclent chacun leurs bagages, emportant "lunettes de soleil, affaires de plage, vêtements légers et des provisions" pour leur périple.
Et d'ajouter: "ils pourront toujours réaliser leur projet plus tard". Tous les agents secrets nont pas le charme de James Bond. La cavalerie en renfort au Tchad - bruxelles2 Europe de la Défen. Par Nicolas Gros-Verheyde - Publié dans : Afrique - Tchad Soudan Vendredi 10 octobre 5 10 /10 /Oct 21:13 Non vous ne rêvez, ce sont bien des soldats européens à cheval. Eh oui, en saison des pluies, le bon vieil animal, a bien des vertus, là où les 4 x 4 ne passent pas trop.
Les français de la Brigade multinationale centre ont ainsi retrouvé ce moyen de déploiement ancestral, et patrouillent ainsi au sud de Forchana près de la frontière soudanaise. Je ne crois pas que ce soit vraiment prévu dans le plan d'opération du général Nash au départ ni dans les concepts d'opération militaire de l'UE (il faudra y songer d'ailleurs -:). Mais, outre son coté tout terrain, la patrouille à cheval a beaucoup d'avantages, selon les militaires : discrétion (pas trop de bruit de moteur), passer un peu partout dans des endroits peu parcourus ordinairement, être au rythme des humains et faciliter donc les contacts avec la population locale...

Why Obama Used Multiple Pens to Write a Single Signature? 20 Jul 2012 President Barack Obama signed the historic healthcare bill at the White Houses using multiple pens. Why? Couch mode print story Barack Obama Signed the bill using 22 Fountain Pens (Picture: Chuck Kennedy) President Barack Obama signed the historic healthcare bill at the White House using not one, or two, but 22 different pens to sign this history bill.
The TIME explains the rationale behind multi-pen signatures: The pen used to sign historic legislation itself becomes a historical artifact. You can actually make out that the signature was not written in one shot – just look at the breaks in the letter ‘O’ of his name. Here’s a video from White House where Staff Secretary Lisa Brown explains why Presidents of America use so many pens to sign important or historic legislations.
Video of the Week: Congressman Thinks the Island of Guam Could T. No, this is not an April Fool’s Joke. In an amazing video from last Friday’s House Armed Services Committee, Congressman Hank Johnson (D-GA) worries that Guam may tip over if the military sends more troops to be stationed there. He says: “My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.” Give credit to Admiral Robert Willard, Commander of the Navy’s Pacific Fleet, for keeping his composure, saying “We don’t anticipate that.” The Hill newspaper, doing its best to also be polite said: “Like other islands, Guam is attached to the sea floor, which makes it extremely unlikely that it will tip over, even if there are lots and lots of people on it.”
Yes, extremely unlikely. What doesn’t make this a laughing matter is that this committee discussion has real military policy implications. Posted in Security [slideshow_deploy] Great!
