Rihanna's Shocking Look

What's going on here?

At first glance it looks like Rihanna is performing a gig in zero-G. But no, that's the outfit she choose to wear.

She was going in a gig in Chicago. It wasn't a long gig. She had to be quick in case someone came along and wanted to park their bike.

She is looking good but I think I preferred the good old days when she was known for just being a good singer.

These days she is looking like her boobs are so big they need to be held up by the mic stand. Have a look again.

Hair School The Musical

Are you interested in going to a hair school? Well, Regency Beauty Institute, which has been in the field for over five decades now, is based in Minneapolis. It has been doing so well it has been growing and expanding. It now has nearly 30 campuses across nine states of America. That's a sure sign of success.

The campuses are like upscale salons where the customer get discounts and you get on-the-job training. If you want to find out more about these hair schools have a look at www.regencybeauty.com.

P.S. They're not musical per se, but that title was too good to pass up.

Big Bang

Here's a video for you...



Don't you love things that start: "Scientists have solved a 200 million year old mystery"?

It makes you think, "That much be one mother of a Su Doku".

It seems that Andromida suffer a massive collision that has created a huge ring of fire that is still expanding...

...and if they call Claims Line Direct now they could take the case on a No Win/No Fee basis...

3D TV

Sky is promising to 'blow away' viewers by introducing 3D television to millions of living rooms within the next year.

3D? I'm not sure we're ready to see Bruce Forcyth's chin and nose in 3D. You'll have to watch Strictly Come Dancing from behind the sofa.

The satellite broadcaster demonstrated the technology this week, showing images shot at rugby and football matches which made the action appear to leap out of the screen.

And if the game has Zinadin Zadan playing 3D could be painful.

(Yep, that topical reference is years out of date, but it's late and I'm going to bed soon)

Viewers will need to wear special glasses which allow the brain to process images so that they appear to be in your living room.

They say it could revolutionise sport, Pixar the animation studio that made Toy Story and The Incredibles, has announced that from next year all its films will be produced in the 3D format, and other films are following. But I won't get a 3D TV till one channel starts using the technology... Babestation.

Silver

Silver is an interesting mental. It's good-looking. It's "Ag" on the periodic table, so it's a good conductor (in the same column as copper and gold) and it is resistant to corrosion. It has a soluble nitrate. That's getting too scientific now, but it's a good fact, trust me.

How about this as a silver fact - currently the world demand for silver outweighs the amount that is mined annually. So, when demand is greater than supply is pushes prices up. The production hasn't reached parity with demand since 1990 which has depleted the above-ground stocks.

That's why silver is a good investment option.

You can make your silver purchases via the Monex Precious Metals website.

Just keep it away from Nitric acid. See, I told you that scientific fact was a good one.

Last Tortoise Standing

Ah, ain't it sad? A Galapagos tortoise called Lonesome George was thought to have fertilised some eggs. Yep, he got his tortoise-sex moves on (I bet they go all night, because it's so slow) and knocked up some lady tortoises. But the scientists opened the eggs to find no sign of an embryo developing.

But on the plus side, I bet they had a great omelette.


Here's the video...

Anne Hathaway Dumps Over Flowers

I read this today:

"Anne Hathaway has revealed what drove her and her criminal ex boyfriend apart – a bunch of dead flowers."

Wow. I'm thinking I'd better pay attention to this... in case I ever get to date Anne Hathaway... or I become a criminal...

She said she realised Raffaello Follieri wasn’t the man for her when he insisted an arrangement of wilting cherry blossom branches be thrown out.

So let me get this straight. A conviction on charges of fraud? That's fine. Wanting to throw dead things out? You're dumped.

I wouldn't have thought Anne Hathaway would be so touchy about throwing things out that look like they're dead. John McCain, I'd expect it from.

Wedding Flowers

A lot of my friends are getting married at the moment. I think I have reached that stage in life. That means I will have lot of nice weddings to go to. Should be a party time. I might as well enjoy it as soon everyone will be having kids. That will include just as many parties, but the sort they have balloons and clowns.

If you are involved in planning a wedding you will realise how much work is required. You have to arrange so much. If you have to sort out the flowers take a look at www.fiftyflowers.com. They have everything from wedding hydrangea to Ecuadorian long-stem roses, and loads in between. They have the flowers shipped straight from the farm so they are really fresh.

Scientists Offer Hot Housewives

Scientists have apologised after finding out the cover of their journal advertised a Hong Kong Strip Joint.

Apologised? Heck, that's the best sponsorship idea the scientific community has had in ages.

The prestigious Planck Research science mag had words on the front that offered "hot, young housewives".

Let's be honest, the scientists wouldn't know what to do with them, so it's goof the hot, young housewives were getting some action.

Calligraphy used on the prestigious scientific research institute publication's special Chinese edition was vetted by an expert before it went to print.

It was believed to have "depicted classical Chinese characters in a non-controversial context".

But internet users in China quickly spotted it was similar to wall posters found in Hong Kong's red light district promoting strip clubs and brothels.

That's amazing. Internet users in China actually got to see something? I thought Google filtered it all out for them.

Computers Like Humans

Will computers take over the world? Let's be honest, not the ones we have today. Could you imaging a would filled with being that look like this...



Imagine that, something that looks like a person but is totally dependent on a mobile phone. It's basically like a teenager.

Accident Help

Being involved in a accident is never nice, but when it someone else's fault, it is even more annoying. Some people drive like they own the road, and that attitude can cause accidents.

There are some good lawyers out there now who can help in those situations. There's a Lincoln personal injury lawyer at www.demerathlawoffice.com who could be of service to you, should you find yourself involved in a prang.

It's not just car accidents that they deal with, they also help with dirt bikes accidents up to semi-trucks collisions, farm machinery accidents and even boating accidents.

Whether you were hurt in a crash or hurt at work they could help.

Dreams On Screen

Scientists say they will come up with new technology which shows what is on our minds when we're asleep.

Is that a good idea? I eat a lot of cheese, so some of the dreams I have are pretty freaky. They'd need to get a 18 certificate for that machine.

The Japanese research team claims its groundbreaking study could eventually display dreams on a computer screen.

Well, with the amount of time I have to spend on a computer at work I probably dream about computer screens, so at least we know it would fit.

A team at ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories said they have already succeeded in displaying images directly from the human brain. And even though they have only managed to reproduce simple images, they reckon they will eventually be used to figure out dreams and other secrets inside people's minds.

Let's hope we never have to get sent to a hospital to take that test, because most of the readings would say the same thing... "My god, that nurse is hot."

Oscar Jackman

Take a look at this...



That's right, Wolverine is going to host the Oscars. What happened to the good old days when they had a comedian to present the thing?

But if they have a straight actor to host it maybe it means a comedy actor can win the best actor Oscar for once. Come on, someone put Bill Murray out of his misery.

Self-Improvement

Self-improvement is always a good thing but when faced with an economic downturn it becomes more of a survival strategy than anything else. You have to be qualified to get or keep the job that will see you through this recession.

If you think it's too late for you to get qualified, think again. You can get a degree online these days. Have a look at www.capella.edu. Capella University is an accredited university that is fully online. They provide master's and PhD degrees and it can fit around the work that you already do. So you don't have to worry about supporting yourself as a student.

Kids Are Back

Good news in TV land. Kids In The Hall is coming back. Here, have a read...


That's the comedy show you might have watched when you were in your teens. (Don't know who they are? Their wiki page is here. Follow the landing page. Or see them in action here)

Not to be confused with Saved By The Bell. I used to get those mixed up but I have sorted it now.

Either that or it was Dave Foley was the one who got his boobies out in the film Show Girls. Oh my word, I hope not. Not after what I did that drunken night...

Alternative Energy Cars

So we all know the future is alternative energy cars. Petrol is the past baby, it's so 90s.

Here's a little video if you want to learn more about these super alternative energy cars.



Seeing as my hamster in a wheel plan didn't work out this is the future.

Get Out Of Debt

Bad times in the economy means a lot of people can find themselves in debt. There are some quick fixes out there and they all have one thing in common, they won't work.

You want a solution that's a bit more serious. Have a look at www.debtfreellc.com because they have some great advice on how you can get out of debt.

They give you a personalised financial plan that is specifically tailored to your situation. Then you use that plan to sensibly head out of debt. No one is saying it's going to be easy, but if anyone says it can be easy they're probably lying.

Fart Free Pants

Some people don't understand what the deal is with science. They don't see the beauty.

Tell them this, and they will see it.

A US company invented an underwear fabric that absorbs all smells.

Now that's technology working for you. We should hand it out to tramps. Imagine how good the world could be.

The material is inserted into a pair of pants with two self-adhesive strips and traps any pongs or whiffs.

So the problems of farts will never be the same again. Of course if you get rid of the smell you will still have the noise. If people are free to let rip because they'd be no smell there will be a general background of fart noise.

And you thought kids trying out their ring tones was annoying.

The Dark Side Of Cartoons

Do you sometimes suffer when you are surrounded by happy people and you're not quite in the mood?

Sometimes people are little rays of sunshine, and all you want is some sunglasses.

Well, you can take the edge of a happy person by showing them this.

It's kids' cartoon characters violently killed.



The images are part of an art exhibition. The pressure group Mothers Against Violence said it was “sick”. I couldn't give it a higher recommendation myself.

The Age Of Information

Data Warehousing Software

In the past society has been through the age of farming, the age of iron, the age of industrialisation, but now I'd say we live in a time of information. Data rules. It's all about getting the data in, dealing with it well, and using it. That runs everything.

Syncsort Incorporated have high-performance software for data management and data protection. So if your business needs such a service you should check out what they can offer. Their products are used by 90% of all the companies who are listed on the Fortune 100. And their software is used by companies across 50 countries. So the pedigree is there.

Their software deals with speed data warehouse processing, they can improve database loads, and improve query performance.

If you need your data backed up and protected, they can do that too.

You can see more on their website, www.syncsort.com.

The Lego Of Evil

It's been a while since Lego was a hot, contentious issue. In fact I bet the last time you had an issue with Lego you were probably 7 and you couldn't find the roof bit you needed.

But now Lego has upset religious leaders. A range of Lego-style fighting figures that include an al-Qaeda terrorist has been made. Oooh, there's nothing like a mini terrorist to cause upset.

Mohammed Shaffiq, of Muslim organisation The Ramadhan Foundation, branded the toy “absolutely disgusting”. He said: “It is glorifying terrorism — the makers should be ashamed.

Wait a minute. When Lego made a Darth Vader figure no one thought they were glorifying the dark side. The makers weren't told to be ashamed of promoting the ways of the Sith.

If someone takes their moral judgements from the Lego they play with, they've got bigger issues to worry about.

I don't know why the religious people are upset, it's the Americans who have the right to be annoyed. Lego can be used to make a model of the Twin Towers, and now they've sent in the al-Qaeda Lego. Now that's taking the p***.

News Round Up 05-12-08

If you're at work at the mo, look busy while doing no work by reading some news on the web. Here are some stories we've enjoyed here.

Amy Winehouse's farewell sex with Blake

Apparently Amy Winehouse had sex with her husband Blake Fielder-Civil before he was sent back to prison, as a final goodbye.

Ain't that just the final irony of life: the kind of woman who will have say to say goodbye is the kind of woman you don't want to leave.

David Van Day: How the I'm A Celebrity star became Mr Nasty

DVD has left the jungle. He was a drama queen, a pain, a manipulator but we'll be sad to see him go because when he cried like a baby when he had to do a trial, that was good TV.

Boy George guilty of falsely imprisoning male escort

Well, Boy George has bee convicted of falsely imprisoning a male escort. He admitted to police that he handcuffed Norwegian Audun Carlsen to his bed at his flat in Shoreditch, east London, on April 28 last year.

When he sings, "Do you really want to hurt me?" The answer is yes, if you come near me with those handcuffs again.

Just click the links (and follow the landing page) to read more on each story.

Gift Idea - Jewelry

Are you looking for a nice gift for someone who loves jewelry but you don't want to buy them expensive diamonds as it might send out the wrong signals? Then how about costume jewelry?

I've heard about Holsted Jewelers and they provide exclusively designed jewelry. You could be giving a beautiful piece that someone will love but won't think you're after a bit with them, if you know what I mean.

Holsted Jewelers work to really high standards. They have a strict quality-assurance policy and every item that leaves their hands has been inspected twice, just to make sure.

It won't break the bank and it will be highly fashionale. Plus, because you won't find this in any normal shop you know that the gift you are giving is unique and no one will be giving the same gift.

Check out the website www.holstedjewelers.com

Nerdy News Round Up 05-12-08

Here are some of the science and technology news stories I've been sneaking a read of at work.

Broadband speed regulations hit UK: Yey! At last. At the mo about 25% of homes are not getting the broadband speed they pay for. It's like going to the pub, buying a pint, only getting half a pint and the barman saying, "Read the small print. There are other people on this bar which means I only have time to serve you less."

Waste could fill many of nation’s wants: This was shocking. Apparently we can make energy from out waste water. What a feeling of warm pride within as you know your last poo could help light a small villiage.

TomTom launches route planner with traffic info: The Sat Nav people have launched a web site to plan your routes. Even though I thought the whole point of sat nav was that you didn't have to mess around planning your routes these days. And if the website is anything like real sat nav, it'll plan you a route that includes making a U-turn where you shouldn't and eventually driving you into a river.

Just click the links (and follow the landing page) to have a read for yourself.

Facebook

Here's technology working at its best.

The story of Georgina Hobday, who's parents Sylvia and Michael agreed to give their little Georgie a birthday party.

So she mentions it on Facebook and the next thing you know hundreds of people turn up and wreck the place.

Good. If there's something that can get teenagers of Facebook, it's a good thing.

People spend ages on that site. And it's not just the teenagers. Lots of people I work with waste most of their workday on it. If someone invented Facebook 100 years ago none of the great inventions we enjoy today would've been made. Apart from penicillin. That was discovered by someone not doing the dishes for a while. They'll be plenty of that happening.

But I suppose if we had Facebook 100 years ago we wouldn't have had the bad things either. If Hitler spent all day playing Scrabble we might not have had the Second World War. Just an update saying, "Hitler is... making plans for world domination". Or "Hitler invited you to join the Third Reich". Or even better, "Hitler has installed Super Wall... in Berlin."

Good News

Here's the good news. My GF is no longer my GF. No, we haven't split up, she's gone from GF to F. No, that doesn't mean she's no longer a girl. As far as I know she hasn't had any gender reassignment work done. She's not the fiancée.

We go the ring sorted. It's white gold, so basically it looks like Silver, and the same will be true of the wedding ring.

And now the planning begins. It has meant I have learned of a Wedding Planning website WeddingChannel.com that has interactive planning tools to help you sort out the big day, it has advice sections on the site and lots more.

I'll keep you posted as and when I get more.

BBC, ITV And Channel 4 Are Anti-Competitive

Here's something in the world of tech news that I don't understand.

A plan by the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 to jointly create a competitor to YouTube may be blocked because it is anti-competitive.

Creating a competitor to a main provider who has a massive share is anti-competitive. But, erm, it's being competitive.

How can something that is competitive be anti-competitive? And is it like matter and anti-matter? Will there be a big bang and we all disappear?
