A religous supply site was found in Haiti. Story from the authorities "...speculated that the bones may have come from a Voodoo ritual." Oh Joy. Another set of religious motivated murderers. Here is the same story from the BBC with a less lurid image.
During WWII the Nazis put out their own sort of a picture magazine like Life. Their magazine was called Signal and it was published in many different languages including English. The English edition was distributed in the Channel Islands. I got this cool picture at a French site with Eastern Front photos.

I have only heard of the guitarist Ali Farka Toure. Althorough in retrospect I have heard his riffs in many different various programs. The BBC3 program World Routes dedicate their time to Ali Farka Toure's life and work. Listen (direct link to program archive) to it before it comes off the website on saturday. On the messageboard for World Routes one listener calls this program:"This was the obituary to end all obituaries..."
The American Antarctica program has lots of wonderful pictures at their website/photolibrary. The image above is the Canada Glacier which extends into the Taylor Valley toward Lake Hoare. An extralarge verison of this image can ge found here.
A fake merged movie ad from a contest on Worth1000 about miscast films. Nemo and his father are clownfish. On land not everbody likes or trusts clowns, see details of the evil clown phenenom. When Homer Simpson became a franchise Krusty the Klown (2F12 Homer the Clown) he became disenchanted with being a clown.Homer: Aw, being a clown sucks. You get kicked by kids, bit by dogs, and admired by the elderly. Who am I clowning? I have no business being a clown! I've leaving the clowning business to all the other clowns in the clowning business.
Real life family acting like the Simpsons. An ad set in Northern England with real people standing for Springfield and the Simpson's. The ad is from Sky, a satellite service owned by the same short fingered vulgarian (Murdoch) that owns Fox. HAH HAH!
The Candy Addict is devoted to candy. That's all. No politics, no philosophy, only candy.
You drank whiskey for breakfast
and Alka seltzer all day long
The Architecture of Control is blog devoted all of the design that is meant to limit the actions of the users. The blog sums up its raison d'etre nicely.Increasingly, many products are being designed with features that intentionally restrict the way the user can behave, or enforce certain modes of behaviour. The same intentions are also evident in the design of many systems and environments.
Redesigned to face contemporary urban realities this bench comes standard with a center arm to discourage overnight stays in its comfortable embrace.
Montana, not the usual place to think of when advertising is mentioned, has produced a series of anti meth ads. Most of the ads focus on the addictive nature of this drug. In this age anti drug paranoia the best drugs to promote, for drug dealers, are those that are used uncontrollably by a small number of people, like crack and meth. Drugs whose usage is more widespread at the same time with lower expenditures per user, like pot, are less intensely profitable. It is easy to market to addicts rather than occasional users.
