Leonard Slatkin Conducts the BBC Orchestra on September 15 2001 in honor of those who lost their lives a few days prior.
Samuel Osborne Barber II (March 9, 1910 – January 23, 1981) was an American composer of orchestral, opera, choral, and piano music. His Adagio for Strings is his most popular composition and widely considered a masterpiece of modern classical music. He was twice awarded the Pulitzer Prize for music, for his opera Vanessa and his Concerto for Piano and Orchestra. His Knoxville: Summer of 1915, a work for soprano and orchestra, was an acclaimed setting of prose by James Agee.
Try and add some class to this place :P

Mudvayne is an American heavy metal band formed in Bloomington, Illinois in 1996. Members are lead singer Chad Gray, guitarist Greg Tribbett, bassist Ryan Martinie and drummer Matthew McDonough.
Dark for fear of failure an inner gloom as wide as an eye and
fermenting roiling hate death grip in my veins unveiling rancid
petals flowering forth foul nectar the space between a blink and a
tear
...death blooms.

In a January 1994 Rolling Stone poll, the band was simultaneously voted Best New Band by Rolling Stone's readers and Worst New Band by the magazine's music critics.
Mad song. That is all.

In a world of plastic cars with hybrid heartbeats, the joy of driving is a dying art. This 1939 Rolls-Royce Phantom III “Vutotal” Cabriolet by Labourdette recalls an era when driving was always an artful experience. Yet this is not your standard Rolls Royce Phantom III, this is the result of a complete rebuild by the Parisian designer Henri Labourdette. Labourdette tore the Phantom III down to the bones, adorning its body with gold plating and brass fixtures on a shape that stretched sensually from bumper to bumper. The “vutotal” term comes from that heavy slice of glass that rests above the instrument panel, a sharply-squared windshield that sits in a welcome contrast to the curves below. As we said of the 1948 Buick Streamliner, curves like these inspire poetry…
I say, I just spoiled my trousers...

Playing with nuclear weapons in real life is a bother. There are mountains of forms and fees to be dealt with. Bodies have to hidden and there are far too many risky meetings on deserted bridges at midnight to make it worth it.
But in computer games it is a lot more easier. Gone are the days when the BFG was the biggest thing you could wield (Still a kick as gun). Now days you've got your very own nuclear arsenal in your game collection.
These are a bunch of my favorites (in no particular order). So click on the read more to read umm... more.
Warning, spoilers ahead!

When it comes to a CD jewel case most of us assume the music contained within comes from an included compact disc. Tristen Perich is challenging that notion with his 1-Bit Symphony. Rather than come with a CD, the case includes a complete electronic circuit with a headphone jack which performs his composition in five movements on a single microchip.
What’s interesting about the electronic circuit
is that it is not simply re-playing recorded music. It is instead actually performing the music live as programmed by Perich. 1-Bit Symphony is being offered as part of a signed and numbered limited edition of 50. It will be available through Cantaloupe Music beginning August 24th and will retail for $29.

What happens when you mix science fiction, building blocks and a desire to break the rules? Legohacker.
Anyone who's old enough to know anything will know Lego just isn't what it used to be. While once it was all about imagination and creating something from scratch, now it seems like every second block is locked to a toy franchise. But one young enthusiast isn't going to take it lying down.
One of this week's most talked about blogs tracks the inventions of a Lego fan who "hacks" the official sets to turn them into something else. His latest favourite is turning Star Wars sets into ships from Star Trek — using only the pieces that were included in the box.

If a human ever sets foot on Mars, will it be a giant step or an exhausted shuffle? Long-term space flight so weakens fitness that an astronaut heading to the Red Planet may lose up to half the power in key muscles in the course of the mission, scientists have found.
The loss - equivalent to a crew member aged between 30 and 50 returning home with the muscles of an 80-year-old - would add a major danger to a trip already laden with peril, they said.
Researchers led by Robert Fitts, a professor of biology at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, took tiny samples of tissue from the calf muscles of nine US and Russian astronauts who spent around six months on the International Space Station.
The biopsies, taken 45 days before launch and on the day of return, showed dramatically how muscles atrophy in zero gravity.Source ...

I just had a strange moment with Symantec. I am testing out various IT Asset management programs for work and I was in the process of installing Altiris Asset Management Suite. During the install this window popped up.
Seriously, what the hell? I just filled out my name, address and gave a stool sample in the screen before (the stool sample was optional but I just wanted to be sure so I posted them one I snapped off earlier.) and now they want to know about my evil plans to take over the world? Come on Symantec, what ever happened to customer privacy?
I wonder how many evil villains they catch using this method? They must be dumb.

Toy sales stopped George Lucas from ending his Star Wars saga on a downbeat note, the film's original producer has revealed. As Lucas announced that his saga was finally coming to Blu-ray, and gave fans a sneak peak of a lost opening to Return of the Jedi, Gary Kurtz, who produced Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, talked about the film's lost ending.
Kurtz told The Los Angeles Times that Lucas had originally planned a much darker ending to Return of the Jedi: Han Solo was to die and a battle-weary Luke Skywalker was to have walked off alone "like Clint Eastwood in the spaghetti westerns".

Just about the time we drop anchor off Oahu, and unbeknownst to us, a catastrophe is being unleashed 4,400 miles and five time zones away, in the Gulf of Mexico. A mile below sea level, methane is shooting up the experimental well drilled by the Deepwater Horizon rig, exploding at the well's head, killing 11 workers, and igniting a firestorm. After 36 hours of a raging inferno—and still unknown to any of us—the rig will sink and open a valve to the gargantuan reservoir of the Macondo oil field, estimated to contain perhaps as much as 1 billion barrels, or 42 billion gallons, of crude.
Though it won't be understood for weeks, the Deepwater Horizon is different from any other spill in human history. The extreme technology used to drill at unprecedented depths lacks the extreme safety equipment and protocols needed to stave off disaster. BP, gambling at the border of controllable engineering, has lost spectacularly in its bid to be the deepest and cheapest driller of them all.

What would the world be like without Islam? In A World Without Islam, former CIA official and historian Graham Fuller says it wouldn't be much different from the world today.
According to Fuller, the West's fraught relationship with the Middle East isn't really about religion — and actually predates the spread of Islam.
Fuller tells NPR's Neal Conan that he found "deep-rooted conflicts that still exist over ethnicity or economics or warfare or armies or geopolitics [that] ... really don't have anything to do with Islam, and indeed, existed long before Islam came into existence."

You've seen them being sold on blankets on the streets of New York, on shelves in other countries, or even in your friend's living room: bootleg DVDs. Whether actually bootleg or just in foreign packaging, these DVD and VHS covers all have one thing in common and that is extreme misinformation. Take a look at that "Battlestar Galactica" DVD for example. Not only do they call it a "tween comedy" but they actually Photoshopped in the U.S.S. Enterprise from "Star Trek" on the front. On the front. Of the DVD. That they sell. It's a crazy world out there people, so next time you buy a movie or DVD of your favorite TV show, make sure you're buying the real thing.
I didnt want to use the original title of "The Most Ridiculous Bootleg DVD Covers Of All Time" because I thought the claim was too reaching.
For example, my favorite was the one I've used as a picture here, anyone like any of the others better ?

Russia has been hit by some massive fires recently. I think they have been dealing with them by scaring the shit out of them.
Check out these fire fighting vehicles. They look like something straight out of Thunderbirds.

The author of this video spent six hours picking every on-screen lightsaber ignition and retraction in movie chronological order. He said he only used clips "where you can see the lightsaber ignite/retract and not just hear it" intentionally.
Star Wars + pointless video editting + way too much time on their hands = let the geek feedback frenzy commence !
