In the above pic of hunkering- notice the 2 ways: flat footed vs on the balls of your feet. Flat footed is really hard.......................................................... But Eastern Europeans have it down pat!

I so agree with that 'expresso'. I can be pretty tolerant but that one grates on my nerves!

I can't play the guitar but I want this one!!!!

Love stuff like this! Would be fun for the kids, too. :)

I might need one of those!

Oh My Yes! Go Willie!!

Love it!

The world still has far more very nice decent people in it than the creeps who did this. But I was in shock. One of my friends was near the finish line at the time and that added to the horror- not knowing where she was.
Miss C's comment should get the 'comment of the week' award... if such a thing exists!

I actually quite enjoyed the graphic. She never pretended that it was something other than her own take on it.

Finally getting around to looking at some stuff I'd saved from the past 2 weeks. And it's hard to believe that this was a week ago today. I spent the day glued to my laptop from across the ocean waiting to hear that they'd finally caught the sucker.

Absolutely fascinating! This kind of thing always sucks me in! :)

I need to remember to get back to my 'save for later' posts on feedly...which is still new in my life since Google Reader is being killed. Because if I did I could make my (less than) brilliant comments a bit sooner than 11 days later...
This is a pretty interesting bit of science. I wonder what all it could potentially be used for. And how soon would it need to be administered. Toxic mushrooms? Drugs? Alcohol? Snake bite? Botulism? I'm fascinated and looking forward to hearing more!

All the more ironic since kids in Eastern Europe are taught in school that they won the war. The Red Army won it. Period. No mention made of any help they might have had.
Pathetic.

Fascinating.

I love it! This would have made biology a whole lot more fun way back when.

Where's my common sense?

I love stuff like this!
Of course, the size and location of the station will have a lot to do with how it can be repurposed. But I really love the ones that have been turned into living spaces. :)

Looks interesting but dangerous. Does he actually drive and play? Or am I being dumb here?

They've obviously spent a lot of time working together and the dog knows his cues well. The dialog cracked me up!

Has the internet only highlighted what was always there (People don't think) or is it worsening/has it created the problem? Honestly. This one should have been so easy... to not do.

What a gorgeous mix of great phots!
I made 2 trips across that Vasco da Gama bridge...and that, hopefully, will be it for me. The thing is seriously jelly-legging...or however you want to say it. I can't imagine driving across it on a regular basis. Hats off to the engineer(s) who developed it...and it works.

I wish you could freeze that graphic on each year. Would love to look at it at a slower pace.

Too bad there's no live footage of the cops making the discovery...
