Meet the incredible smiling seal! How an intrepid photographer crawled across the ice on his stomach to get these amazing images | Mail Online - StumbleUpon By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 07:20 GMT, 13 January 2012 Why wouldn't he be smiling? This Canadian Harp Seal gets to play all day in the snow and bask in the sunshine. Life for this little guy looks pretty sweet. And he is not alone in enjoying life in the frozen far-flung corners of our planet. He is also a little star as he poses wildlife photographer Keren Su in this remarkable snap.

Keren said: 'I love taking pictures in the snow just for the thrill of it.
Incredible Space Pics from ISS by NASA astronaut Wheelock Go Discovery! It was October 23, 2007 at 11:40am EST when I had my first ride to space on Discovery. She’s beautiful… just sad that this will be her last voyage. Looking forward to climbing aboard the flight deck when Discovery arrives at the Space Station in November. (9-23-2010). Incredible Photos from Space: Larry Tanner, NASA. Special thanks: Bethbeck’s blog On September 22, 2010, with the departure of the Expedition 23 crew, Colonel Douglas H. We thought that we should put some of the space photos together as a tribute to him and the whole ISS crew. The following space photos are all visible on Astro_Wheels’ twitpic account, and we are eternally grateful to him for sharing these space photos with the world.

Ten games that make you think about life At the start of this year, we decided to come up with a list of Flash casual games with a philosophical bent. To be honest, we struggled. After days of research, we could only find a handful of games that had the thought-provoking depth we were looking for. Our list (which you can view by clicking here) was therefore only five games long. Fast forward to now, and it is remarkable how much difference a few months can make. Thanks to the work of pioneers like Daniel Benmergui, Gregory Weir and PixelAnte, there is now an abundance of clever arty Flash games to pique our intellects, and as a result creating this follow-up list of games that make you think has been a doddle. In a wonderful twist, it seems it is the Flash gaming space - until now known more for the throwaway nature of its games rather than depth - that is leading the way in this exciting new area of gaming, as we hope the following games prove. 1Immortall The game starts with you crash landing on a planet. 2Loved 5Coma 6Loondon

One big rut is not having enough time in the day to really assess all of the ways our customers are interacting with us, whether it’s digital or good old face-to-face.

According to a study performed by Harris Interactive at the behest of game website Gamehouse, more than half of online gamers are female. But that's not the real shocker in the results of the analysis of more than 2,000 adults: women gamers have more sex than women non-gamers. Yes, by a margin of 5 percent (57 versus 52.) Are you still with me? Is that post-defibrillator feeling strangely reassuring? Then let me tell you that 74 percent of online gamers and 71 percent of their gaming-abstinent counterparts watch TV at least once a day. This led Gamehouse's chief gamer, Matt Hulett, to offer one of the great sentences of this year, or any other: "Maybe if we all watched a little less TV and played more games online, we'd all be having a little more sex." I am sure Dr. The survey also found that more than half of lady gamers are in a serious relationship. For more on this story, go to CNET News © 2011 CBS Interactive Inc.
