so i think i found the OTHER William Orbit fan. *puts on Hinterland and timewarps back to the mid-90s* - Joe Silence

i dunno. i give his newer stuff the "let it grow on me" treatment but it just feels like he's revisiting his older work and not progressing. if i want classic William Orbit then i'll just put it on. i hope he finds some new veins to explore, tho, cos his music has the potential to be quite enthralling. - Joe Silence

*does Fred Sanford impression* - bevedog

LOL @ Steve. LISBETH! LISBETH! - rowlikeagirl

"Kentucky businessman Rankin Paynter went into a soon-to-be-closed Kmart store to see if he could help himself to a few bargains. By the time he walked out, he'd helped an entire community. Paynter asked what would happen to the goods that remained on the shelves, and was told that "power buyers" would purchase the inventory. Paynter decided to beat them to it, kicking off a six-hour, four cash register process that left him with $200,000 in merchandise. He donated all of it to charity -- every last item. "This will be the first year we have enough hats, coats, and gloves for all the children that we serve," a Clark County Community Service employee said." - Morton Fox from Bookmarklet

I don't fully agree, but it's a well written perspective - Nelson Minar

I don't think I ever cared about cheating in D2. You couldn't get away with it much with characters you stored on Battle.net. It was mostly at the local level. Blizzard themselves have said that this move to linking everything to Battle.net had a lot to do with piracy, though they have also said that it would eliminate opportunities to cheat with trainers. - Hookuh Tinypants

"The dolphin-hunting Japanese town of Taiji, made infamous by the Oscar-winning documentary "The Cove", plans to open a marine mammal park where visitors can swim with the creatures, a media report said. The town intends to section off part of the cove and turn it into a place where people can swim and kayak alongside small whales and dolphins, Jiji Press news agency reported, calling it "a marine safari park."" - rowlikeagirl from Bookmarklet

Breaking up is never easy -- having 32 teeth ripped out is even worse. A scorned dentist is facing jail time after surgically removing all of her ex-boyfriend's teeth after he dumped her, authorities in London said. - Halil from Bookmarklet

I agree Rachel and thanks for sharing it. I know it all having been on weight loss sites for years but sometimes I need to be reminded. I hope to get back to running/dancing again once the knee is better and I have another race so I'm not giving up. I think the stress of everything is adding to my frustration. Crossing my fingers once I can add regular exercise back into my routine that I'll see some changes - Just Kidée: Road Warrior

"Last year, to celebrate National Hairball Awareness Day, we enlisted the help of modern jewelry designer Heidi Abrahamson to create an exclusive line of fine jewelry featuring cat hairballs. This year, we thought, why should the women have all the fun? So Heidi set to work designing this lovely set of fashionable cat hairball accessories just for men!" - Katy S from Bookmarklet

Scots adventurer Mark Beaumont (The Man who Cycled the Americas) joins polar veteran Jock Wishart on an expedition to row a boat to the 1996 north magnetic pole, a point only ever reached across solid ice. In their tiny boat, the six-man team navigate some of the world's most remote seaways, taking on fast-flowing sea ice that could crush their boat and roaming polar bears. Nobody has ever rowed so far into the Canadian high Arctic - a first in the world of exploration and adventure, only made possible by the dramatic retreat of arctic sea ice in recent decades. - Halil from Bookmarklet

kind of short notice i know, but only just saw it listed, it seems stupid that they are Scottish and it's not available on Scottish BBC! What's going on??? - Halil

OMGWOW! As if rowing isn't hard enough! - rowlikeagirl

"Humans had hunted the Great Auk for more than 100,000 years. It was an important part of many Native American cultures which coexisted with the bird, both as a food source and as a symbolic item. Many Maritime Archaic people were buried with Great Auk bones, and one was buried covered in over 200 auk beaks, which are assumed to have been part of a cloak made of their skins. Early European explorers to the Americas used the auk as a convenient food source or as fishing bait, reducing its numbers. The bird's down was in high demand in Europe, a factor which largely eliminated the European populations by the mid-16th century. Scientists soon began to realize that the Great Auk was disappearing and it became the beneficiary of many early environmental laws, but this proved not to be enough. Its growing rarity increased interest from European museums and private collectors in obtaining skins and eggs of the bird. This trend eliminated the last known breeding attempt, and the last certain... more... - rowlikeagirl from Bookmarklet

I always thought an Auk was a 4 legged ruminant!!! Clearly the description in all those Jean Auel books wasn't very deep.... - RudĩϐЯaЯïan

"London buses have been booked to carry a Christian advertising campaign expected to start next week, which asserts the power of therapy to change the sexual orientation of gay people." The full length advert, which will appear on five different routes in the capital, is backed by the Core Issues Trust whose leader, Mike Davies, believes "homerotic behaviour is sinful". His charity funds "reparative therapy" for gay Christians who believe that they have homosexual feelings but want to become straight. The campaign is also backed by Anglican Mainstream, an worldwide orthodox Anglican group whose supporters have equated homosexuality with alcoholism. - rowlikeagirl from Bookmarklet

"Kowloon Walled City was a densely populated, largely ungoverned settlement in Kowloon, Hong Kong. Originally a Chinese military fort, the Walled City became an enclave after the New Territories were leased to Britain in 1898. Its population increased dramatically following the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong during World War II. In 1987, the Walled City contained 33,000 residents within its 6.5-acre (0.03 km2; 0.01 sq mi) borders. From the 1950s to the 1970s, it was controlled by Triads and had high rates of prostitution, gambling, and drug use. In January 1987, the Hong Kong government announced plans to demolish the Walled City. After an arduous eviction process, demolition began in March 1993 and was completed in April 1994. Kowloon Walled City Park opened in December 1995 and occupies the area of the former Walled City. Some historical artifacts from the Walled City, including its yamen building and remnants of its South Gate, have been preserved there." - rowlikeagirl from Bookmarklet

The City's dozens of alleyways were often only 1–2 m (3.3–6.6 ft) wide, and had poor lighting and drainage.[18] An informal network of staircases and passageways also formed on upper levels, which was so extensive that one could travel north to south through the entire City without ever touching solid ground.[4] Construction in the City went unregulated, and most of the roughly 350... more... - rowlikeagirl

1) I love your carport's wall. 2) How long were they making they nest? Is it finished? - Anika

I think they are Carolina wrens. A friend says they like to nest in human habitats. - rowlikeagirl

I'd love to see how Birthers would spin that, considering he was born in Mexico - Victor Ganata from iPhone

"A seemingly sweet video featuring a dog whose motherly instincts kick-in when her pup struggles to stay afloat in a swimming pool has stirred up quite a bit of controversy this week, as viewers are questioning how the pup ended up in the pool in the first place. At first glance of the video, its easy for your heart to melt as you watch the obviously distressed mother dog creatively figure out how to get her pup out of the pool." - rowlikeagirl from Bookmarklet

However, upon watching it the second time around -- it becomes apparent that this video was staged at the expense of the poor dogs. For instance: 1) There is an obvious big splash in the center of the pool when the pup is first seen struggling. Why the splash? The pup was likely thrown in the pool. Shameful. 2) Why are people laughing like idiots in the background? Shameful. 3) Why is someone taping the incident, instead of helping the pup? Shameful. - rowlikeagirl

That's messed up - Rodfather

Two birds are building a nest in a hanging potted plant in our carport. I placed an old Flip camera in the kitchen window and captured them in action. I don't know the species, but they are off-white and brown with brown spots under their tail feathers. - rowlikeagirl

I edited the raw video down to the parts where the birds fly in and out. Sometimes they disappear into the plant for a minute, then fly out suddenly. At about 2:25 in, you'll briefly see both. - rowlikeagirl

"The Daily Mail has a history of stealing images and only paying up if and when they are caught and pursued. A quick Google search will turn up lots of results, but here, here and here are a few. It appears as though I am the latest test subject, as their MailOnline web newspaper has decided to publish my urban exploration photos from Gunkanjima without first contacting me to ask permission and without payment. This is copyright infringement." - rowlikeagirl from Bookmarklet

The Daily Mail: "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy." The picture editor apologized and was unaware the photos were stolen and agreed to pay. But whomever was responsible should be promptly fired. - rowlikeagirl
