I have been meaning to get these posted here for some time now but have been - yes - doggin' it.

Now here is something you don't see every day (thank goodness!) This is however, the second time this has happened in this town within a three years span.

This hole opened up on May 31, 2010. It swallowed a building and reports suggest one person died as a result. These images are surreal and speak volumes; what they are saying is pretty creepy.

Worry about information overload has become one of the drumbeats of our time. The world’s books are being digitized, online magazines and newspapers and academic papers are steadily augmented by an endless stream of blog posts and Twitter feeds; and the gadgets to keep us participating in the digital deluge are more numerous and sophisticated. The total amount of information created on the world’s electronic devices is expected to surpass the zettabyte mark this year (a barely conceivable 1 with 21 zeroes after it).

Carl Segan Day - November 6, 2010
"we are star stuff"

Watch:

Pale Blue Dot

The green circle in the title slide above shows the approximate position of Voyager 1
for the opening shot of this short video featuring the words and voice of Carl Segan.

The Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of planet Earth taken in 1990 by Voyager 1 from a record distance, showing it against the vastness of space. By request of Carl Segan, NASA commanded the Voyager 1 spacecraft, having completed its primary mission and now leaving the Solar System, to turn its camera around and to take a photograph of Earth across a great expanse of space.

Make-up and Hair style..............$500.00

New Dress for the show............$700.00

Giant Stuffed Bear...................$300.00

Not knowing how to hold the bear with a

microphone in your hand...........Priceless!

An innocent picture of singer Kylie Minogue with a teddy bear was censored by Facebook for being 'nude', all because she was holding her microphone near his nether regions.

From the picture taken on stage at London's G-A-Y club, Minogue, 42, can be seen sporting a big smile on her face as she hugged the oversized bear, the Daily Telegraph reported.
