National Geographic photographer’s unbelievable encounter with vicious predator in Antarctica (VIDEO) by Dan Havlik posted Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 5:29 PM EDT We've posted quite a few amazing underwater photography videos here before but this story might be the most unbelievable yet. In the clip (embedded below), National Geographic photographer Paul Nicklen talks about his encounter with one of Antartica's most vicious predators, the Leopard Seal. On assignment in the antarctic to photograph the Leopard Seal in its native environment, Nicklen spots a behemoth Leopard seal, which his guide says is the biggest he's ever seen. With Nicklen's hands shaking so badly he can barely hold onto his underwater rig, the seal puts its huge mouth over his entire camera and starts making "threat displays." But what happens next is what's most amazing and surprising. Check it out below.
Two Cuts Transform Old Wine Bottles Into 3 Useful Objects If you are an eco-minded person, the joy of drinking wine is effectively cancelled out when you look at the pile of wasted bottles that are left over. Barcelona-based studio Lucirmás has come up with an innovative way to upcycle empty wine bottles with no waste. The Pure-Bottle is a three-part set of objects made from a single wine bottle. With two strategic cuts, one bottle becomes a spoon, a lantern and a drinking glass. The glass is sandblasted to remove any sharp edges, leaving surprisingly elegant objects that would be equally at home in a four-star restaurant or at your breakfast table. Enterprising DIYers with the right equipment could easily replicate these objects at home.

Free Audiobooks and eBooks - Librophile BM - des fiches créatives déco, couture, cuisine Blog — The Battle We Didn't Choose Two years ago today Jennifer passed after facing breast cancer for less than 4 years. Jen was diagnosed 5 months after our wedding. I still remember the sound of Jen’s voice coming through the phone as she told me she had cancer. I was numb, a feeling that has been constant ever since that moment. Since Jen’s death I have been piecing myself back together and I’m learning that now the pieces are all different. Lately these questions have led me back to Jennifer’s last days. There were moments of total peace and happiness. But day after day family and friends streamed through our home. Jen’s nails were done, fingers and toes. I watched Jen as she gave a final “I Love You,” and said farewell to family and friends. One night after everyone had gone home, except for the Hospice Nurse, I asked Jen how she touched so many people. I think of this every day. Jen’s death has pushed me to accept that one day I will die. I don’t mean to sound idealistic and I know that life is not always great.
Omniscience First published Mon Feb 1, 2010 Omniscience is the property of having complete or maximal knowledge. Along with omnipotence and perfect goodness it is usually taken to be one of the central divine attributes. Philosophical considerations of omniscience often derive from “perfect being theology”, the idea made famous by St. Anselm, that God is that than which nothing greater can be thought. Among the features typically taken to contribute to greatness is perfect knowledge. 1. Since omniscience is maximal or complete knowledge, it is typically defined in terms of knowledge of all true propositions, namely, as (D1) S is omniscient =df for every proposition p, if p is true then S knows p. Some philosophers endorse variations on (D1). 2. Omniscience is supposed to be knowledge that is maximal or complete; perhaps knowledge of all truths captures that idea. A related feature of perfect knowledge is being essentially omniscient, that is, being omniscient but not possibly lacking omniscience. 3.
A dream treehouse · Sheepy Me I've always wanted a treehouse when I was a child but living in a city made it a little difficult. Instead, we would built forts, tents or just crawl under the bed to play. It's weird right now but back then we really loved having those hideouts where nobody could find us. We could stay there for as long as we wanted. Telling horror stories and feeling like these were the safest places to be. But what happens if you're an adult and still dream of a treehouse? I did a little web research for treehouses all over the world and oh my what I found. Safe Arbor in Switzerland. Trillium. The enchanted forest. A modern, pitched roof treehouse. A treehouse morning. A dream treehouse. Those are just a few of many treehouses.
Le petit dictionnaire des métalleux (partie 1) - Actualités musicales et potins sur vos vedettes Comme on peut dire que le métal est une culture, et j’oserais même pousser la note plus loin en disant que ça peut être un mode de vie pour certains, j’ai décidé de rédiger un article à propos de notre jargon à nous, les amateurs de métal. Voici des termes, généralement anglais, que vous risquez d’entendre dans une discussion entre métalleux. Je tiendrais cette chronique sur plusieurs articles, car sur un seul ce serait beaucoup trop long. Headbang : Une des expressions les plus rependues et vraiment propres au métal est sans doute celle du headbang. Pour quelqu’un qui n’est pas amateur de métal, voir quelqu’un headbanger c’est bizarre. Il est important de ne pas exagérer les mouvements puisque ceci peut avoir une mauvaise répercussion sur notre santé. Trash : Le trash désigne tout simplement la section parterre d’une salle. Pit/Circle Pit/Moshpit : Le pit c’est la section du trash qui brasse le plus. Horns up’ : Terme qui fait référence au signe de mains emprunté par les métalleux.
Instagram's Envy Effect I keep having the same conversation over and over. It starts like this: “I gave up Facebook for Lent, and I realized I’m a lot happier without it.” Or like this, “Pinterest makes me hate my house.” Yikes. I’m not anti-technology or anti-Internet, certainly, but I do think it’s important for us to remind ourselves from time to time that watching other peoples’ post-worthy moments on Facebook is always going to yield a prettier version of life than the one you’re living right now. When you’re waiting for your coffee to brew, the majority of your friends probably aren’t doing anything any more special. My life looks better on the Internet than it does in real life. Because community—the rich kind, the transforming kind, the valuable and difficult kind—doesn’t happen in partial truths and well-edited photo collections on Instagram. But seeing the best possible, often-unrealistic, half-truth version of other peoples’ lives isn’t the only danger of the Internet. I’m a writer.
Bouncing Around San Francisco Kristin Luna jumped at the chance to try out San Francisco’s new trampoline park. I grew up in the South on a large plot of land with both a playground and a trampoline decorating my yard. Even with no real training, I could tumble and flip, bounce and twirl as if I were an aspiring member of the U.S. gymnastics team. Learning a trick or two on the trampoline is a rite of passage when you spend your early years in a rural area (cow tippin’ and moonshine peddlin’ aside, we have little else to keep us entertained, after all) and one I’d long since forgotten about until very recently. Then, just up the road from my current home in San Francisco, a new kid moved onto the block–one who brought the promise of many afternoons of fun and laughs, and a chance for locals to reenact their youth. Those with no prior experience (or trampoline at their childhood home) need not worry: There are classes and private tutorials available should you want to perfect your handspring or learn a new trick.
