Kelly Brook Sizzles In Ultimo LingerieAlright, my work for the day is done here folks, but I wanted to leave you with something special to remember me by. Here’s Kelly Brook modeling some Ultimo lingerie and looking quite spectacular doing it if I might say so myself. What can I say, the girl is just hot, so hot in fact that I may need to go take a cold bath just to cool down. After I print these out and tape them to the ceiling over the tub of course…. Up periscope. |
Channeling Earth: Rivers Seen From SpaceRivers connect Earth’s mountains and lakes to its oceans, creating lifelines that provide water, food, transportation and recreation along the way. Some rivers, like the Nile, bring life to barren landscapes that would otherwise be uninhabitable. Others, like the Mississippi, defy our best efforts to tame them. Rivers carve their way across the continents, some becoming ever more entrenched while others meander freely across the surface. The myriad paths they carve make patterns that are best seen from above. In this gallery, we’ve collected images from satellites and astronauts of some of the longest, twistiest, most beautiful and interesting rivers in the world. |
Bar Refaeli Is The Greatest Thing Since ChocolateBar Refaeli is an Israeli model and occasional actress, most known for her modelling work and for her relationship with American actor Leonardo DiCaprio. She was the cover model of the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Refaeli volunteers for Project Sunshine, a non-profit organization providing free services and programs for children facing life-threatening illnesses. She has also volunteered for organization Ahava, which has been caring for pets abandoned in Northern Israel during the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict. Her relationship with DiCaprio caused one nationalist Israeli organization to send her a letter, later leaked to the press, in which she was asked, for the sake of "future generations of Jews", not to marry a "non-Jew", a request similar to the one made, a few years previously, to Israeli Miss World winner Linor Abargil. |
The Stunning Pictures Of Sleeping Insects Covered In Water DropletsGlistening in the early morning, these insects look like creatures from another planet as dew gathers on their sleeping bodies. Captured in extreme close-up, one moth appears to be totally encrusted in diamonds as it rests on a twig. Dragonflies, flies and beetles also take on an unearthly quality as the water droplets form on them. These remarkable photographs were taken by physiotherapist Miroslaw Swietek at around 3am in the forest next to his home. Using a torch, the 37-year-old amateur photographer hunts out the motionless bugs in the darkness before setting up his camera and flash just millimetres from them. |

Ford To Save $1.2M/Year Just By Turning Off Its Computers At NightWhen a corporation as large as Ford decides to do something as simple as shutting down its computers at night, the savings can be astronomical. In the case of Ford, powering down computers can save the company $1.2 million each year. The new program, called PC Power Management, utilizes energy saving settings provided by Microsoft Windows. The energy settings will be used on company laptops and desktops to reduce energy waste. A managed shutdown will occur each night and during the weekend period. Additionally, computers will be awake to receive updates during pre-selected non-business hours, freeing up time previously used for updates throughout the working day. |
Left-Lane Passing Laws: A State-By-State MapDriving slowly in the fast lane is more than just annoying, it's also illegal in many states. Wanna know if your 45-mph, Buick-borne grandma is breaking the law on the interstate? Just consult our handy map. The most popular law follows the Uniform Vehicle Code, which says a car driving below the "normal speed of traffic" should be driven in the right-hand lane. Because it indicates "normal speed" instead of saying "speed limit" a driver going above the speed limit but slower than most traffic is still in the wrong. The states indicated in green dictate that the left lane should be used exclusively for passing or turning left, though most of these limit enforcement to multi-lane highways. The simplest and best laws simply state drivers in the left lane must always yield to faster traffic regardless of the passing car's speed or other factors. |
The Anatomy of an ExplosionFor the smallest quantum of a second, a blindingly bright flash of light almost imperceptibly hits the retina. In the next instant, the pointed conical mound of the mushroom head takes shape, an evanescent glow visible midst the billowing plumes of smoke. Then the ever-expanding opaque dome of the shockwave materialises, distorting the landscape behind it even as the fire and fumes beneath collapse in on themselves. So goes the explosion: a thing of destruction; a thing of beauty. |
