Jessica Hart Bikini Pictures

I’m not sure if any of you are into Australian Victoria’s Secret models like I am, but chances are if you’re on this site for more that thirty seconds, you are. Here’s Aussie hotness Jessica Hart strutting her stuff on the beach the other day showing off her cute little behind. Would I ever like to go down under on this beauty. I’m aware that that is a tremendously cheesy joke, but it happens to be 100% true so I’m keeping it. Enjoy.

Horsetail Firefall

Yosemite puts on a unique show this time of year. Horsetail Falls is a small seasonal waterfall that only appears in late winter and early spring. It flows over the east side of El Capitan, so as a backdrop it has one of the most impressive walls of granite in the entire park. Then – only for part of February, and only when the sky is clear – the very last sunrays of the day selectively linger on the falls, lighting it up with a golden glow that makes the water look like lava. After seeing amazing photos of this scene from many different photographers here on Flickr, I decided to try my hand at it too. Originally I planned to drive to Yosemite this past weekend, but the weather forced me to reconsider. On Thursday the forecast showed clouds and snow moving in on Friday and potentially sticking around for a long time. So I pulled the trigger early.

These AnnaLynne McCord Bikini Pictures are Working Hard

Okay, you've got to give her a little credit. AnnaLynne McCord is working really hard for attention. Not only is she looking pretty smoking in that bikini, but she's also giving us some of the best bikini poses I've ever seen, including crotch shots, doggy style from behind, the splits, kissing her sister on the lips, and a full on wipeout in mid-wipeout! Now that's effort. So you should probably look at these AnnaLynne McCord bikini pictures if for no other reason than to make it worth her effort.

Michael Johansson

I’m so excited to finally be posting about Michael Johansson – he has been in my ‘to post about’ folder for awhile now. Aren’t his installations amazing! I wish I knew a bit about his process, if he hunts for the perfect sized objects – if he maps each one out before he assembles. Everything fits just right!

Toyota and Top Gear Tackle Icelandic Volcano

One of the blokes from Top Gear was tooling around Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull in a Toyota pickup about a week before it blew and scientists who set up monitoring equipment just hours before the eruption used the same truck. Toyota, eager for some good publicity for a change, didn’t hesitate to announce that its “indestructable” Hilux pickup was on Eyjafallajökull before it let loose, wreaking havoc on air travel and making “Eyjafjallajökull” the most common Google search no one can spell. The guys from Top Gear are never ones to shy away from crazy situations, so it should come as no surprise that co-host James May drove on the volcano about a week before the eruption on April 14. May was filming a segment for the popular and irreverent BBC television program using a Toyota Hilux rigged up exactly like the truck Top Gear drove to the north pole. Volcanologist Haraldur Sigurdsson accompanied May, presumably to keep him out of trouble, according to an Icelandic news report. Scientists drove the same truck as they scrambled to set up monitoring equipment before the eruption, according to Toyota.

How Volcanic Ash Can Kill An Airplane

As volcanic ash spreads from an eruption under a glacier in the Eyjafjallajokull region of Iceland, the British have taken the drastic step of locking down the country's airspace. Here's why. The world's bustling air traffic corridors pass over hundreds of volcanoes just like the one in Iceland — all of which are capable of sudden, explosive eruptions of fire and ash. In the United States alone, aircraft carry many thousands of passengers and millions of dollars of cargo over volcanoes each day. As we see today, volcanic ash can be a serious hazard to aviation even thousands of miles from an eruption. Airborne ash can diminish visibility, damage flight control systems, and most importantly, cause jet engines to fail.

General Motors Out Of Top 10 Of Fortune 500 For The First Time In 101 Years

Fortune Magazine released its annual Fortune 500 list of top-grossing companies in the U.S., and Wal-Mart reigns supreme after coming in second place last year. But, there's one notable drop for one local company. General Motors drops from No. 6 to No. 15. As Fortune points out, it's the first time in the automaker's 101-year history it wasn't in the top 10. Ford, however, is in the top 10, although it dropped one rung from No. 7 to No. 8 this year. Other companies in the top 10, in descending order: Exxon Mobil, Chevron, General Electric, Bank of America, ConocoPhillips, AT&T, Ford, J.P. Morgan Chase and Hewlett-Packard.

Mount St. Helens

Thirty years after the blast, Mount St. Helens is reborn again. Beer cans once lay at the bottom of Spirit Lake. Mark Smith remembers them perfectly: 20-year-old Olympia flattops, their shiny gold lettering somehow preserved by the clear, cold water. He remembers ten-inch rainbow trout: planters for the tourists. He remembers a sunken rowboat from the YMCA camp, its bow resting on a submerged stump. A teenager when he began scuba diving in the shadow of Mount St. Helens, he remembers the lake as it was before the May 1980 eruption, before the top 1,300 feet of the volcano—more than three billion cubic yards of mud, ash, and melting snow—avalanched into it. Before the lake became twice as big but half as deep. Before virtually all evidence of life, animal and human—the cabins and roads and camps and cans—were obliterated. Before the lake became a stinky soup, devoid of oxygen and covered with a floating mat of tree trunks ripped from the landscape. What Smith remembers best is what he called the "petrified" forest: a ghostly stand of sunken, branchless firs, buried upright dozens of yards below the surface. The underwater forest was a mystery to him until the mountain exploded.
