Tried to get there this spring, but no permits where available. It was really frustrating to continue our hike past the trailhead, knowing that we was just a mile or two from the Wave. However, Wire Pass Canyon and Buckskin Gulch are great as well so the area is worth visiting even if you don't get a permit. - Henrik Johansson

The Wave is a spectacular sandstone formation on the slopes of the Coyote Buttes in the beautiful and rugged Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness, located in northern portion of the U.S. state of Arizona, just south of the Utah-Arizona border about halfway between Kanab, Utah and Page, Arizona. - Mitchell Tsai

One of the highlights of Coyote Buttes North Area is the spectacular rock formation known simply as The Wave, an incredible sandstone formation which has been photographed countless times, and the Second Wave, another fabulous sandstone swirl. - Mitchell Tsai

Henrik: Sorry you didn't get in to see this area. It's the first time I've heard of it. Pixdaus may be a pirate picture-sharing site, but it's introduced me to countless (well...425) locations and photographers... - Mitchell Tsai

Coyote Buttes is a section of the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), spanning extreme South Central Utah and North Central Arizona, just south of US 89 halfway between Kanab, Utah and Page, Arizona. It is divided into two areas: Coyote Buttes North and Coyote Buttes South. To visit either of the Coyote Buttes areas you will need to purchase a hiking permit in advance. Only 20 people per day are allowed to hike in. - Mitchell Tsai

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) limits access to the North Coyote Buttes Wilderness Area to just 20 permits per day. Ten of the permits are available in advance by reservation, and the remaining ten are made available the day before at a nearby ranger station. The lottery for the walk-in permits takes place at 9:00 in the morning. In the spring, up to 60 people may participate in the lottery; by mid-summer, the numbers may be from a handful to 20 or so. The Wave is particularly popular among European tourists, partly because it appeared in a German film several years ago. - Mitchell Tsai

The Wave itself is not easy to find. In an effort to maintain the area's natural settings, there are few trails or signs to guide hikers within the area. It is not uncommon for groups to get lost and never find the Wave. It is therefore recommended that each group carry a GPS receiver to both find the Wave and their way back. The Wave's exact GPS coordinates can be obtained from the rangers. - Mitchell Tsai

To get a permit, you generally need to apply for it the very first day they are released. I think it's about three months in advance. Both Buckskin Gulch and Wire Pass Canyon was great though. Be prepared do to a lot of wading in Buckskin Gulch. Some of my photos from the area: http://tinyurl.com/coyotebutte... - Henrik Johansson

...took advantage of the LinkedIn / 50 free business cards special and they arrived while we were in Portland. Finally took a good look at them and I must say, I am very impressed. Great card stock and excellent quality (image and finish). - JA Castillo

I love Moo. - Lindsay Donaghe

@JA Castillo -- can you elaborate on that deal? I'd like to check it out - Jeremy Raines

Just completed my order. It was really fun to make. Hopefully the cards will be here soon. :) - Thomas Hawk

@Jeremy Raines - it was a limited time offer. You can follow the link for 15% off your order. http://www.moo.com/linkedin/ The tie-in is that could import the basics of your LinkedIn account and your profile URL. I will be posting pics of my cards later this weekend to show how they came out. - JA Castillo

i've ordered the mini cards from MOO a couple times now, totally love them! - benton yetman

Just ordered my cards before I even saw this feed. We all must be connected psychically... - John Ford

I'm wondering if they now have color management? Last time I checked, (I emailed them last year) they did not honor the color space tag in your photos, so it was pot luck if your images would print in the correct colors. I ordered one set, while happy with them in every other way, but the color accuracy wasn't what I was expecting. Hope this has changed. I just e-mailed them, I'll post their response here when I receive it. - Jeff P. Henderson

Nice to everyone all a buzz about a British company! - Andy Davies

Well, I broke down and ordered 50 business cards, even though I have not heard back from Moo regarding color management. Can't wait to see them! - Jeff P. Henderson

just received my 50 I ordered on Thursday morning. I live in London so they cane down the road. Got the green ones colours are good as is matt finish - Phill Price

Heard they were originally to be called 'Pleasure cards'. Moo is much better. - Patricia Hanrahan

Wow! I had always wanted to get more of the Moo cards, but was concerned that they would no be well-received outside the Web2.0 crowd. Now I can get the regular-size business cards. I will definitely take advantage of this. - Stephen Shores

Moo rocks! - Elizabeth

I ordered 100 of the original smaller size card and loved them. - Russellreno

My Moo mini cards are always a big hit. - Dave Roth

Moo is great and while I still haven't got anything ordered, will get some later probably. - Daniel Schildt

Perfect of my business card ideas! Thanks, Tom. - H.C.

Ordered some mini cards yesterday - can't wait to get them - Dave Wirsching via twhirl

Received mine recently http://www.peterhaus.co.uk/200... they are really really nice. - Pete Gilbert

How long does it usually take to get your Moo cards? I think I am going to have to finally order some. - Adam Helweh

I think it takes about 10 days or so, but I'm not sure. I ordered on Friday and I'll post back when I receive mine. They come from the UK so I think that might account for some of the time that it takes. - Thomas Hawk

I totally LOVE my moo cards, and every time you hand one out, people are facinated by them. Moo cards FTW! - Iain Baker

I love them. I have business card and the mini-moo sizes and carry the mini-moo holder around with me all the time on my key-ring. I love giving them out to people. I'm trying to work out a project to use them with. - Rory

I ordered some cards last week, they should be here soon. I think they are excellent. - Michael

I've seen these while snorkeling. They are beautiful as they fly through the water. It makes me sad to think this fish was killed to be a curiosity. Food, ok. Not litter. - Brian Norwood

yea, i agree. someone was obviously trying to prove a point, but in the worst possible way. can't see the reasoning of ending the life of such a beautiful creature. it's quite repulsive what some people do - Cee Bee

was this not the same type of fish that killed that Australian dude -the croc hunter - Peter Dawson

no, that was a sting ray. manta rays are harmless - Cee Bee

Pity. We ran into one a few years ago off Pensacola. It was huge, and probably the most beautiful thing I've seen underwater. - Chris Baskind

I went SCUBA diving with four of five of them once. I agree with Chris. - Dan Kaplan

Greatly Dis-like. :-( - Lisa L. Seifert

Dan: Yeah, it took us by surprise. We were pretty deep and all of a sudden it got dark. Looked up and realized it was a huge manta. Don't know how big it was -- really big. Just flew over very slowly, completely unconcerned with the amazed diver bubbles from below. :-) - Chris Baskind

That's really sad! Poor thing! - Sarah

They have some giant Rays at Atlantis in the Bahamas. http://www.flickr.com/photos/t... - Thomas Hawk

What in the... LOL - Mona N.

Is that real? Weird! - Stephen Shores

I read the article and I have to disagree with the person on one point. This is NOT a "huge" Manta Ray. It would be a decent sized Bat Ray, (which is what this actually appears to be). This would be a smallish Manta Ray. Either way, I think all of the winged fish are amazing, and this is a tragedy. - Brian Norwood

"Usain Bolt celebrated his coronation as the world’s fastest man 20 meters early, throwing out his arms and thumping his chest. But he still obliterated the world record in the 100 meters Saturday night, turning his Olympic gold medal performance into a show of astounding talent." - Bret Taylor via Bookmarklet

I haven't seen the final yet, but during the heat before, it looked like he was jogging, yet he was ahead of everyone. It is like he is holding back so he can break his own record later. Bolt is insanely fast. - Bret Taylor

Adewale - you're right. Either his sponsor or some race director will pay him well to set the record again this year. - Hutch Carpenter

I agree with Bret, Adewale, & Hutch. Much better to break the record as many times as possible. Plus, it gives him more personality! Yesterday I was watching his 9.92 and it didn't even look like he was breaking hard...it was so easy. - Mitchell Tsai

Ugh, photobucket has the worst flash media player ever. - Tanath

What an feat of performance - he just blew away the other "fastest men" in the world. Between Bolt and Phelps, I really have to wonder how much further we can peak in human performance... - Vince DeGeorge

seriously @vince...he obliterated the field! - .LAG

I wonder if he can challenge MIchael Johnson's "Beamon-esque" 19.32 200m record. It sure seems like it. - Jeremy Raines

Also -- you know, we're not promised tomorrow. It seems like a true champion would want to set the record as low as possible on a fast track & grand stage, regardless of future incentives. - Jeremy Raines

@Nick. It's 4 people: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1.... Tyson Gay ran a 9.77s. - Nikhil Dandekar

@Mitchell Thanks! - torque

now that everyone's seen it in HD. - that guy just pushed everyone else who ever sprinted off the table. - Richard Lawler via twhirl

Just watched the French video of this. He looked like he coasted to a 9.69. wow. - Harvey Simmons

I hate it when they don't push hard till the very end.. He could easily have run much faster, but instead had to start celebrating at the 90m mark. It was such a big race as well. I would have been more impressed if he ran it all the way in 9.60-9.65 than 9.69 or whatever it was officially at the end. - Colin Archer

@Nikhil - thanks - Nick Lothian

he just doesn't care about the time, honestly, in ten years when the time has been broken, I think we'll all remember the watching him shut it down at 70m and start celebrating - Richard Lawler via twhirl

That was insane. Never seen a 100m run so fast and err .. so casually - Deepak
