Slide It was in The Tate Modern Gallery in London. Awesome Aquariums: 5 Cool Modern Fish Tank Designs From conventional freshwater to tropical saltwater species, fish can be a fun way to add some life to your living room – but with these cool aquariums, you might find yourself staring at the unique design as much as you do at the exotic fish you put inside. Like a self-contained maze, this large labyrinth aquarium features a series of smaller interconnected round ‘bubbles’ of glass – joined by glass tubes that run between these more open spaces. While ornaments, accessories and supplies can be added and filters changed along the top, it is a bit tricky to get down to the lower levels. If you really want to integrate fish into your daily life, you can always opt for the built-in sink tank where fish swim beneath you while you wash your hands and face or brush your teeth. The ceiling-hanging variants are a bit more simple and modern, though nonetheless dazzling.
Thought You Should Know - Thinking It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then to loosen up. Inevitably though, one thought led to another, and soon I was more than just a social thinker. I began to think alone —"to relax," I told myself — but I knew it wasn't true. I began to think on the job. I began to avoid friends at lunchtime so I could read Thoreau and Kafka. Things weren't going so great at home either. I soon had a reputation as a heavy thinker. I came home early after my conversation with the boss. "I know you've been thinking," she said, "and I want a divorce!" "It is serious," she said, lower lip aquiver. "That's a faulty syllogism," I said impatiently, and she began to cry. I headed for the library, in the mood for some Nietzsche, with an AM station on the radio. To this day, I believe that a Higher Power was looking out for me that night. As I sank to the ground clawing at the unfeeling glass, whimpering for Zarathustra, a poster caught my eye.
The Mysterious Moeraki Boulders If you go down to Koekohe beach in New Zealand you can be sure of a big surprise. In front of you, scattered like enormous marbles from some long abandoned game between giants, are hundreds of giant spherical rocks. Or are they the egg shells of sea-born dragons? Some are isolated but may occur in clusters. Many of the Moeraki boulders give the impression of being completely spherical – and they almost are. They do, however, tend to form early on in the history of the deposited sediment – it is thought they occur before the rest hardens in to rock. What is significant about these concretions is their size. The material responsible for their concretion is a carbonate mineral called calcite. There are large cracks on the boulders and these are known as septaria. The Moeraki boulders date from the Paleocene epoch which translates as the early recent. As you can imagine, there are many Māori legends concerning these hollow boulders.
Ultimate WaterSlide Australian Mom Brings Baby Back to Life After 2hrs of Loving Embrace Pictured above is Kate Ogg, her husband David and her lifeless baby son who was born premature at 27 weeks (~6.5 months) weighing 2lbs back in March 2010 in Sydney. Ogg’s son was born along-side twin sister Emily, but after 20 mins of struggling, doctors were unable to get the little boy breathing successfully and declared him dead. Doctors delivered the news to Kate and her husband and offered for them to embrace the baby while they say their goodbyes. What began as a tearful embrace of despair turned surreal when Kate unwrapped the baby from the blanket and held it against her chest; caressing and speaking to her son. What happened next stopped everyone in their tracks; baby boy Jamie started to breathe, opened his eyes and grabbed his mom’s finger. The most incredible part of this story, the part that makes you think maybe we don’t understand all we need to understand about this world, the next or… biology… is that Kate had been embracing Jamie’s lifeless body for 2 hours.
Stray Pit Bull saves woman & child from attacker - ... PORT CHARLOTTE, Florida - February 2011 The wandering 65-pound Pit Bull mix might have seemed menacing to some passerby, but one woman will always remember him as her “guardian angel.” The dog, which authorities think is lost and not a stray, successfully thwarted a robbery attack on a mother and her 2-year-old son, who were held at knifepoint Monday afternoon. The Florida woman, who has been identified by authorities simply as “Angela,” was leaving a playground with her toddler son in Port Charlotte when a man approached her in the parking lot with a knife and told her not to make any noise or sudden movements. Angela didn’t have to do either to protect herself and her child — a dog mysteriously ran to the scene and charged the man, who quickly fled. “I don’t think the dog physically attacked the man, but he went at him and was showing signs of aggression, just baring his teeth and growling and barking. Another beautiful story with a happy ending shared via my guestbook:
