When it was being built it was called “Riga” - the name of Latvian capital city, but just after the construction was over and 20 minutes later the ceremony of the ship’s launching started they got a call from Moscow demanding to change the name to “VARYAG”, probably just because at that time Latvia demanded independence, so Russian government understood that if they leave the old name, in just a few months one of their top-ships would carry the name of the capital of the another state. So they called and changed the name same day the boat was launched. That was a bad sign.<br />A few years later, they couldn’t maintain it anymore, and the ship itself demanded some sort of upgrading so they decided to… sell it for iron-and-steel scrap! The company which bought it couldn’t transport it to scrap site, mainly because Turkey didn’t allow the private company to pass the big and scary aircraft-carrier through its waters it in time so it stayed for one and a half year and they seriously considered on abandoning it. Later they got permission from Turkey and moved it from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. And then in Mediterranean it has almost got stuck on sandbank. So it took it a few years to come to travel in its the last journey.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span id="more-920"></span> <img alt="russian aircraft-carrier 2" src="http://englishrussia.com/images/abandoned_aircraftcarrier/2.jpg" /><br /><img alt="russian aircraft-carrier 3" src="http://englishrussia.com/images/abandoned_aircraftcarrier/3.jpg" /><br /><img alt="russian aircraft-carrier 4" src="http://englishrussia.com/images/abandoned_aircraftcarrier/4.jpg" /><br /><img alt="russian aircraft-carrier 5" src="http://englishrussia.com/images/abandoned_aircraftcarrier/5.jpg" /><br /><img alt="russian aircraft-carrier 6" src="http://englishrussia.com/images/abandoned_aircraftcarrier/6.jpg" /><br /><img alt="russian aircraft-carrier 7" src="http://englishrussia.com/images/abandoned_aircraftcarrier/7.jpg" /><br /><img alt="russian aircraft-carrier 8" src="http://englishrussia.com/images/abandoned_aircraftcarrier/8.jpg" /><br /><script type="text/javascript">var AdBrite_Title_Color = 'F2984C';var AdBrite_Text_Color = 'E6E6E6';var AdBrite_Background_Color = '313C3A';var AdBrite_Border_Color = '313c3a';var AdBrite_URL_Color = '7F7F7F';try{var AdBrite_Iframe=window.top!=window.self?2:1;var AdBrite_Referrer=document.referrer==''?document.location:document.referrer;AdBrite_Referrer=encodeURIComponent(AdBrite_Referrer);}catch(e){var AdBrite_Iframe='';var AdBrite_Referrer='';}</script><br /><script type="text/javascript">document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,83,67,82,73,80,84));document.write(' src="http://ads.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=1359497&zs=3330305f323530&ifr='+AdBrite_Iframe+'&ref='+AdBrite_Referrer+'" type="text/javascript">');document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,47,83,67,82,73,80,84,62));</script><br /><div><a href="http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php?opid=1359497&amp;afsid=1" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold;" target="_top">Your Ad Here</a><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5904884888345426786-9188726564572477125?l=allgetsentertained.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>YAsir Jamalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06222635081340283436noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904884888345426786.post-50816966844890122252009-10-01T14:25:00.003+06:002009-10-01T14:33:25.164+06:00<h2 id="post-2292">Russian Army Telescopes</h2><div class="entrymeta"><br /></div><div class="noprint" style="float: left; margin: 10px 0px 0px; padding-right: 5px;"></div><img alt="Russian army and its Russian telescopes" src="http://englishrussia.com/images/military_telescopes/1.jpg" /><br />Russian army has space vessels and it needs good telescopes to control the fleet.

The technique of rice farming and the work today is done pretty much the way it was millennia ago – one reason why most of the amazing rice terraces are still intact.<br /><br /><br /><h2>The Philippines</h2>The rice terraces in Banaue, a mountain village in the central Cordilleras in the north of Luzon Island, are located about 330 km north of Manila. Their construction was started more than 2,000 years ago by the local communities, ancestors of the Batad indigenous people, and with only primitive tools.<br />Banaue’s rice terraces are 1,500 meters (5,000 ft) above sea level and cover more than 10,000 square kilometers (4,000 square miles) of mountainside. It is said that if the plots were laid out next to each other, they would cover a distance of about 25,000 km (10,000 ft) – in comparison, the Great Wall of China is “only” 6,000 km (2,800 ft) long! No wonder then that Banaue’s rice terraces are frequently referred to as the “Eighth Wonder of the World.”<br /><b>1. Window to the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” the rice terraces in Banaue:</b><br /><img alt="View of rice terraces in Banaue" src="http://inlinethumb14.webshots.com/45069/2357645660104237032S600x600Q85.jpg" /><br />Image: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slingshots/2145252799/">Romeo Remalante</a><br />The ancient irrigation system is fed by the rainforests above the terraces through an intricate combination of collecting the water of mountain springs and transporting it via bamboo pipes, dams and sluices to the upper rice terraces, from where it flows through selected openings to lower paddies.<br />The whole of the rice terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985, just to put them on the Red List of World Heritage Sites in Danger in 2001. Almost 30% of the terraces are not managed any more and are therefore threatened by decay.<br /><b>2. Rows and rows of intricately carved rice terraces in Banaue, Philippines:</b><img alt="Rice terrraces in Banaue, Philippines" src="http://inlinethumb16.webshots.com/45135/2406559640104237032S600x600Q85.jpg" /><br />Image: <a href="http://terre.sans.frontiere.free.fr/page_a_voir_a_faire/top_100.htm">Terre Sans Frontiere</a><br />Rice farming is also backbreaking work, as most of the narrow paddies can only be farmed by hand, like they were millennia ago. No wonder then that the younger generation is more drawn to jobs in the hospitality industry, or moves away to Manila to make their fortune there. Pollution and an increasing number of tourists visiting the site are gnawing further on the famous “Stairways to the Sky.”<br /><b>3.

They are located in Yunnan province in southwest China, a region not easily accessible and therefore not exploited for tourism but rich in natural beauty and untouched scenery. The spectacular rice terraces drop from almost the summits of the nearby, 2,500-m-tall Ailao Mountains to the bed of the Red River.<br /><b>6. The rice terraces in Yuangyang, China, look like an artwork:</b><br /><img alt="Rice terraces in Yuangyang, China " src="http://inlinethumb42.webshots.com/17385/2331992570104237032S600x600Q85.jpg" /><br />Image: <a href="http://www.china.org.cn/travel/gallery/2008-03/13/content_12467157_3.htm">China.org</a><br />The rice farmers who built the terraces almost by hand more than 1,000 years ago had to know about ecology and land preservation long before those concepts had names. Otherwise, without the hard work of maintaining the terrace walls as well as the ancient irrigation system, the precious top soil would have washed down the hillsides into the rivers.<br />Even today, the Yuangyang rice terraces are a self-sustaining eco system, perfectly in sync with nature like it was a thousand years ago. Just like the Banaue rice terraces, the Yuangyang rice terraces are irrigated with spring water from the rainforest above. The water then evaporates from the rice terraces and forms clouds whose rain water is collected and trapped by the rainforest, from where it is used for the irrigation of the rice fields again.<br /><b>7. The clouds burst open over the rice terraces: </b><br /><img alt="Rice terraces with streaks of sunlight" src="http://inlinethumb34.webshots.com/14113/2750657590104237032S500x500Q85.jpg" /><br />Image: <a href="http://www.magicchinatour.com/">Magic China</a><br />There is only one harvest per year but the landscape changes throughout with the many flooded paddies creating reflecting pools that are a photographer’s delight.

Bridges Around the World</h1><span style="font-size: small;"><img border="0" src="http://www.uphaa.com/uploads/342/Sporenburg-Borneo-Bridge.jpg" /><br />These bridges are located in Amsterdam and were made by Naomi. Three unusual red steel bridges extend over the water between the islands Sporenburg and Borneo. Two of these three bridges stretch for 90m and the 3d one is 25 meters long. The <span style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 102, 51); color: #006633; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline;">pedestrian bridge</span> is the most unusual one. </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><img src="http://www.uphaa.com/uploads/342/1.jpg" /><br />Deep inside Russian countryside there is a place with a strange object. It’s made solely of wood and is called “The Half-Bridge of Hope”.<br />It looks like a wooden bridge from one side of hill to another which suddenly finishes on its half. It has no any logical meaning or practical purpose, just stands in one of numerous Russian villages as an art object, made of wood as everything other around it.&nbsp; </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"> <br /><span style="font-size: small;"><img border="0" src="http://www.uphaa.com/uploads/342/1046852721MVC-036S.JPG" /><br />Do they have a strange bridge here!

But dawn broke with a dramatic difference in Sydney.<br />Pulling back their blinds, residents were greeted with an eerie reddish-orange cloud cloaking all around them.<br />Early-morning commuters stared in disbelief at the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, whose normally striking outlines were rendered ghostly by the shroud of dust<br /><br /><img alt="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" src="http://dp-img.com/2009/07/Storm-of-apocalypse-in-sydney-028.jpg" title="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" /><br /><br /><img alt="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" src="http://dp-img.com/2009/07/Storm-of-apocalypse-in-sydney-003.jpg" title="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" /><br /><br /><img alt="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" src="http://dp-img.com/2009/07/Storm-of-apocalypse-in-sydney-004.jpg" title="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" /><br /><br />The gale force winds - measuring in excess of 60mph - also fanned bush fires in the state. By noon on Wednesday the storm, carrying an estimated 5 million tonnes of dust, had spread to the southern part of Australia's tropical state of Queensland.<br />The dust storms stripped valuable topsoil from farmlands. At one stage up to 75,000 tonnes of dust per hour was blown across Sydney and dumped in the Pacific Ocean.<br />'We've got a combination of factors which have been building for ten months already - floods, droughts and strong winds,' said Craig Strong from DustWatch at Griffith University in Queensland.<br /><br /><img alt="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" src="http://dp-img.com/2009/07/Storm-of-apocalypse-in-sydney-005.jpg" title="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" /><br /><br /><img alt="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" src="http://dp-img.com/2009/07/Storm-of-apocalypse-in-sydney-006.jpg" title="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" /><br /><br /><img alt="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" src="http://dp-img.com/2009/07/Storm-of-apocalypse-in-sydney-007.jpg" title="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" /><br /><br />The outback dust storm has swept across eastern Australia, shrouding Sydney in a dramatic red glow.<br />It's also been wreaking havoc, disrupting transport and placing health authorities on alert for widespread respiratory illness.<br /><br />International flights were diverted from Sydney, ferries on the harbour were suspended, and motorists were warned to take care on roads as visibility was dramatically reduced.<br /><br /><img alt="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" src="http://dp-img.com/2009/07/Storm-of-apocalypse-in-sydney-008.jpg" title="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" /><br /><br /><img alt="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" src="http://dp-img.com/2009/07/Storm-of-apocalypse-in-sydney-009.jpg" title="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" /><br /><br /><img alt="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" src="http://dp-img.com/2009/07/Storm-of-apocalypse-in-sydney-010.jpg" title="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" /><br /><br />'It did feel like Armageddon because when I was in the kitchen looking out the skylight, there was this red, red glow coming through,' one resident told Australian Broadcasting Corporation radio.<br />The blanket of dust stretched hundreds of miles along the coast, from the coal port of Newcastle north of Sydney to the steel city of Wollongong in the south, and hundreds of miles inland to farming towns like Dubbo and Tamworth.<br />Weather officials said the blanket of dust would remain for several hours, until winds eased.<br />Further cold fronts are expected later in the week and could bring not only more strong winds, with the chance of dust storms, but also snow falls higher up on Australia's mountain region, said weather officials.<br /><br /><img alt="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" src="http://dp-img.com/2009/07/Storm-of-apocalypse-in-sydney-011.jpg" title="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" /><br /><br /><img alt="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" src="http://dp-img.com/2009/07/Storm-of-apocalypse-in-sydney-012.jpg" title="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" /><br /><br /><img alt="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" src="http://dp-img.com/2009/07/Storm-of-apocalypse-in-sydney-013.jpg" title="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" /><br /><br /><img alt="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" src="http://dp-img.com/2009/07/Storm-of-apocalypse-in-sydney-014.jpg" title="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" /><br /><br /><img alt="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" src="http://dp-img.com/2009/07/Storm-of-apocalypse-in-sydney-015.jpg" title="Storm of apocalypse in sydney" /><br /><br />Dust storms in Australia are not uncommon but are usually restricted to the inland. Occasionally, during widespread drought, dust storms reach coastal areas. Australia is the driest inhabited continent and only Antarctica is drier.<br />The NSW state government recently cut the state's 2009/10 wheat crop estimate by 20 per cent because of hot, dry weather across the grain belt.<br />The country is one of the most vulnerable nations to climate change, but also the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitter per capita as it relies on coal-fired power stations for the bulk of its electricity.<br />Australia is battling one of its worst droughts and weather officials say an El Nino - a periodic change in the atmosphere and ocean of the Pacific - is slowly developing which will mean drier conditions for eastern states.<br />The country is one of the most vulnerable nations to climate change, but also the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitter per

This agreement ended a 17 year dispute that prevented civilian flights from all nations except the UK into Gibraltar Airport.<br />Take a look at this unusual road and runway in the picture gallery and video below.<br /><img alt="Gibraltar airport" src="http://www.djmick.co.uk/images/2009/06/gib-airport-002.jpg" title="Gibraltar airport" /><br /><span id="more-10890"></span><br /><img alt="Gibraltar airport" src="http://www.djmick.co.uk/images/2009/06/gib-airport-005.jpg" title="Gibraltar airport" /><br /><img alt="Gibraltar airport" src="http://www.djmick.co.uk/images/2009/06/gib-airport-006.jpg" title="Gibraltar airport" /><br /><img alt="gibraltar airport" src="http://www.djmick.co.uk/images/2009/04/gibraltar-airport-2.jpg" title="gibraltar airport" /><br /><img alt="gibraltar airport" src="http://www.djmick.co.uk/images/2009/04/gibraltar-airport-3.jpg" title="gibraltar airport" /><br /><img alt="Gibraltar airport" src="http://www.djmick.co.uk/images/2009/06/gib-airport-003.jpg" title="Gibraltar airport" /><br /><img alt="gibraltar airport" src="http://www.djmick.co.uk/images/2009/04/gibraltar-airport-4.jpg" title="gibraltar airport" /><br /><img alt="gibraltar airport" src="http://www.djmick.co.uk/images/2009/04/gibraltar-airport-5.jpg" title="gibraltar airport" /><br /><img alt="gibraltar airport" src="http://www.djmick.co.uk/images/2009/04/gibraltar-airport-6.jpg" title="gibraltar airport" /><br /><object height="376" width="465"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZS0AYRt77tY&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=d6d6d6&amp;color2=f0f0f0&amp;border=0&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed wmode="transparent" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZS0AYRt77tY&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=d6d6d6&amp;color2=f0f0f0&amp;border=0&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="465" height="376"></object><!-- Begin: AdBrite, Generated: 2009-09-29 23:47:12 --><br /><script type="text/javascript"> var AdBrite_Title_Color = 'F2984C'; var AdBrite_Text_Color = 'E6E6E6'; var AdBrite_Background_Color = '313C3A'; var AdBrite_Border_Color = '313c3a'; var AdBrite_URL_Color = '7F7F7F'; try{var AdBrite_Iframe=window.top!=window.self?2:1;var AdBrite_Referrer=document.referrer==''?document.location:document.referrer;AdBrite_Referrer=encodeURIComponent(AdBrite_Referrer);}catch(e){var AdBrite_Iframe='';var AdBrite_Referrer='';} </script><br /><script type="text/javascript">document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,83,67,82,73,80,84));document.write(' src="http://ads.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=1359497&zs=3330305f323530&ifr='+AdBrite_Iframe+'&ref='+AdBrite_Referrer+'" type="text/javascript">');document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,47,83,67,82,73,80,84,62));</script><br /><div><a target="_top" href="http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php?opid=1359497&afsid=1" style="font-weight:bold;font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Your Ad Here</a></div><!-- End: AdBrite --><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5904884888345426786-100701267901016079?l=allgetsentertained.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>YAsir Jamalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06222635081340283436noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904884888345426786.post-28303886744418771082009-09-30T03:35:00.001+06:002009-09-30T09:49:47.812+06:00<h1><span style="color: #98110e;">10 "Realistic" 3D tattoos</span></h1>Tattoos can be cool when done properly, or not when you're drunk. 3D tattoos seem to be an interesting trend in the tattoo world.

A security guard was present to make sure no one broke the rules and that people couldn't get to keep the money if they broke it.

Normally it is forbidden to take photos there, but they have made an exception for him. So now we have a rare chance to see what’s inside of the Russian most modern power plant.</div><div style="line-height: 1.6em; width: 500px;">This power plant is situated near Smolensk city. Its power generation potential is 3 Megawatt and it was build for 8 years, from 1982 to 1990. There were planned to be four nuclear reactors, but because of the panic after the Chernobyl accident the forth block has not been completed, so there are three of them for now.</div><div style="line-height: 1.6em; width: 500px;">Let’s go inside.</div><div style="line-height: 1.6em; width: 500px;"></div><br /><br /><hr /><br />google_protectAndRun("ads_core.google_render_ad", google_handleError, google_render<br /></script><span id="more-2660"></span><br /><img alt="Russian nuclear power plant 2" src="http://media.englishrussia.com/atomic_station/2.jpg" /> <br /><div style="line-height: 1.6em; width: 500px;">In Russia there are now 10 active power plants.

There is even a saying that “The sci-fi writers are on the second place by richness of imagination, the first place is occupied by the nuclear plant security engineers”, meaning that they need to make it safe just for some unimaginable events that not very likely to happen, but still the security system should be ready for them.</div><div style="line-height: 1.6em; width: 500px;">The outside structure that secures reactors themselves can stand the blast that exceeds ten times the power of atomic bomb blast, just imagine. </div><img alt="Russian nuclear power plant 4" src="http://media.englishrussia.com/atomic_station/4.jpg" /><br /><div style="line-height: 1.6em; width: 500px;">There is a 30km (18 miles) security zone around the plant itself.

Most are marine plankton, but they are common in fresh water habitats as well. They are characterized by two flagella, one girdling the cell and the other trailing the cell. Some dinoflagellates exist in coral, in a symbiotic relationship. These dinoflagellates are termed the zooxanthellae. Other dinoflagellates occur in such high numbers that the water is colored red, a phenomenon known as a red tide.&nbsp;<nobr><small></small></nobr><br /><br /><br /><h2 class="subtit"><img align="absmiddle" hspace="3" src="http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/oddee/top8.gif" /> Crystal jelly <small>(Aequorea Victoria)</small></h2><br /><br /><center><img border="0" class="imgl" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles2/a96794_a492_crystal-jellyfish.jpg" /></center>Aequorea victoria, also sometimes called the crystal jelly, is a bioluminescent hydrozoan jellyfish (which is also known as hydromedusae) that is found off the west coast of <input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden" />North America.

When he got home he removed the painting -- a dismal country scene -- and concluded the frame could not be salvaged, but found one of the 500 official copies from the Declaration of Independence, folded and hidden in the backing. The copy is a crisp, clean broadside, creased along lines where it had been folded. It was printed by John Dunlap on July 4, 1776, to carry news of America's independence to the citizens of the 13 colonies. It is one of 24 known copies of the Declaration, and one of only three remaining in private hands.<br /><br />The $4 bargain was auctioned for $2,420,000 at Sotheby's. The buyer was Donald J.

Kitts found $182,000 of Depression-era money hidden in a bathroom wall. Kitts was tearing the bathroom walls out of an 83-year-old home near Lake Erie in 2006 when he discovered two green metal lockboxes suspended inside a wall below the medicine chest, hanging from a wire. Inside were white envelopes with the return address for "P. Dunne News Agency." He told the homeowner about the money; arguments broke out quickly on how to repartition the findings. This led to a legal battle between the homeowner and the contractor, and eventually between the found money's family descendants who had been traced back from the return address on the envelope the money was found in. The contractor would have done well to keep his mouth shut. <nobr><small>(<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,449114,00.html" target="_blank">Link</a>)</small></nobr><br /><br /><br /><h2 class="subtit"><img align="absmiddle" hspace="3" src="http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/oddee/top4.gif" /> The woman who found a Pollock worth millions, paid $5 for it</h2><br /><center><img border="0" class="imgl" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles2/a96795_a494_pollock.jpg" /></center>If you're not an art connoisseur, it looks a lot like a bunch of squiggly lines on a page. But to an expert, it's a stunning find - an original Jackson Pollock, an American painter and an artist considered a master of abstract expressionism.<br /><br />How this painting came to be on display and up for sale in a local Toronto gallery is the stuff of legend. You may remember the unbelievable story surrounding a woman named Teri Horton, a retired truck driver who loved to frequent thrift shops around North America. When she entered one of them in California in the 1990s, she spotted a picture lying unused in a corner, a piece of artwork that no one seemed to want.<br /><br />She hated it but thought it was funny. And she was going to buy it for her depressed friend. And she brought it to the counter and the lady said it was $8 and Teri said she's willing to pay $5, she doesn't love her friend that much. They were planning on drinking some beers and throwing darts at it. But a friend of hers was dating an art teacher and he looked at it and said 'you very well may have a Jackson Pollock on your hands.'<br /><br />And she came back with the statement 'Who the F is Jackson Pollock?' And it all began from there. That statement became the name of a 2006 documentary featuring her story, including her struggles to prove her five buck painting was really the masterpiece many claimed it was. It was finally authenticated and now there's no doubt about its value.The painting has since been assessed as being worth a stunning $50 million, surely the greatest flea market bargain in history. <nobr><small>(<a href="http://burnaway.org/2008/11/hey-isnt-that-fingerprint-a-pollock/" target="_blank">Photo</a>)</small></nobr><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><br /><br /></center><br /><h2 class="subtit"><img align="absmiddle" hspace="3" src="http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/oddee/top5.gif" /> The collector who found $200,000 in coins after cleaning out an abandoned house</h2><br /><center><img border="0" class="imgl" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles2/a96795_a494_coins.jpg" /></center>Jeff Bidelman, a Johnstown Rare Collectibles owner, was helping a family clean out the house their relative had abandoned over twenty years ago.

In total, Bidelman found at least $8,500 of coins at face value. He estimates the actual value of the coins could be as high as $200,000.

Much to his surprise, one of the cards in the game featured a painting of flowers that looked a lot like the one he had on his wall. He found that his painting was similar in style to the work of Martin Johnson Heade, an American still-life artist best known for landscapes and flower arrangements.<br /><br />He asked the Kennedy Galleries in Manhattan, which handles many of Heade's works, to take a look at his painting. They verified that the piece of artwork covering the hole in his wall was a previously unknown Heade painting, since named Magnolias on Gold Velvet Cloth.

That would be growing the largest <span style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(112, 58, 0); color: #703a00; font-family: Georgia,Arial,Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline;">flower in</span> the world. This exotic, very rare, speckled, though not particularly pretty, rust colored flower is called Rafflesia Arnoldii. <br /><br />Rafflesia Arnoldii, recently assigned to the Euphorbiaceae family, is the biggest individually produced <input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden" />flower in the world. It gets to be 3 feet across and weighing a whopping 15- 24 pounds. That's pretty darn big but still you would not like this <input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden" />flower in your perennial bed. Why is that? If you could mimic a rainforest type environment for this plant, it gives off a most offensive odor when in bloom. This scent is somewhat like rotting meat. This is why it is often called the Corpse Plant by some natives of Indonesia where it originates. <br /><br />Its blossoms only last three days to a week. But in those few days it needs a miracle or two just for survival. This hideous smell it produces attracts pollinating insects to it to help perpetuate the species. But even when this happens only 10-20 percent of the tiny seedlings make it. With any luck in nine months it blooms. <br /><br /><br /><h2 class="subtit"><img align="absmiddle" hspace="3" src="http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/oddee/top4.gif" /> <i>Desmodium gyrans:</i> the Dancing Plant</h2><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><img border="0" class="imgl" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles2/a96804_a503_dancing-plant.jpg" /></center> Darwin called <input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden" />the plant Hedysarum; modern botanists call it either Desmodium Gyrans, or more correctly these days, Codariocalyx Motorius.

Unsustainable harvesting by plant collectors who value Euphorbia obesa for its interesting and curious appearance has severely impacted wild populations. Consequently, national and international legislation have been enacted to protect remaining populations. While Euphorbia obesa remains endangered in its native habitat, it has become very common in cultivation. By growing large numbers of Euphorbia obesa, nurseries and botanical gardens have been working to ensure that specimens being traded and sold among plant collectors are not obtained from the wild. <br /><br /><br /><h2 class="subtit"><img align="absmiddle" hspace="3" src="http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/oddee/top6.gif" /> <i>Amorphophallus titanum:</i> the Corpse Flower</h2><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><img border="0" class="imgl" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles2/a96804_a503_corpse-flower.jpg" /></center>A flower taller than a man, stinking strongly of putrefying roadkill and colored deep burgundy to mimic rotting flesh, sounds like something from a low-budget <span style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(112, 58, 0); color: #703a00; font-family: Georgia,Arial,Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline;">science fiction movie</span>.

This Indonesian plant, called titan arum or amorphophallus titanium, has the world's biggest inflorescence. Due to its fragrance, which is reminiscent of the smell of a decomposing mammal, the Titan Arum is also known as a carrion flower, the "Corpse flower", or "Corpse plant". <br /><br /><br /><h2 class="subtit"><img align="absmiddle" hspace="3" src="http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/oddee/top7.gif" /> <i>Baobab:</i> the Bottle Tree</h2><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><img border="0" class="imgl" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles2/a96804_a503_bottle-tree.jpg" /></center>Baobab is the common name of a genus (Adansonia) containing eight species of trees, native to Madagascar, mainland Africa and Australia.

It was first formally described by Isaac Bayley Balfour in 1882. A miniature Icon of this tree is in Windows as Network-Icon. Its red sap was the dragon's blood of the ancients, sought after as a medicine and a dye.<br /><br /><h2 class="subtit"><img align="absmiddle" hspace="3" src="http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/oddee/top9.gif" /> <i>Mimosa púdica:</i> the Shy Plant</h2><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><img border="0" class="imgl" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles2/a96804_a503_shy-plant.jpg" /></center> Mimosa Pudica (pudica = shy), or the Sensitive Plant, has a curiosity value: the compound <input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden" />leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, re-opening within minutes.

These designs are usually created in one of two ways and sometimes using a combination of both. The first method is by manipulating the flow of milk from a jug into the espresso (known as free pour latte art). The second is by drawing designs with an implement (known as etching), using stencils, powders and milk foam. Latte art is most commonly seen on a latte, although it can also be part of the presentation of a cappuccino, a caffe mocha or even an espresso macchiato. As the popularity of premium espresso-based drinks has risen, the craft of garnishing through latte art has as well. Here's a sample of the very best of this technique! <br /><br /><img src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a73_latte2.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a73_latte3.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a73_latte4.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a73_latte5.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><center><!-- Begin: AdBrite, Generated: 2009-09-30 0:05:30 --><br /><script type="text/javascript"> var AdBrite_Title_Color = 'F2984C'; var AdBrite_Text_Color = 'E6E6E6'; var AdBrite_Background_Color = '313C3A'; var AdBrite_Border_Color = '313c3a'; var AdBrite_URL_Color = '7F7F7F'; try{var AdBrite_Iframe=window.top!=window.self?2:1;var AdBrite_Referrer=document.referrer==''?document.location:document.referrer;AdBrite_Referrer=encodeURIComponent(AdBrite_Referrer);}catch(e){var AdBrite_Iframe='';var AdBrite_Referrer='';} </script><br /><script type="text/javascript">document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,83,67,82,73,80,84));document.write(' src="http://ads.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=1359497&zs=3330305f323530&ifr='+AdBrite_Iframe+'&ref='+AdBrite_Referrer+'" type="text/javascript">');document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,47,83,67,82,73,80,84,62));</script><br /><div><a target="_top" href="http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php?opid=1359497&afsid=1" style="font-weight:bold;font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Your Ad Here</a></div><!-- End: AdBrite --><br /><br /><img src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a73_latte6.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a73_latte7.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a73_latte8.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a73_latte9.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a73_latte10.jpg" /><br /><br /><!-- Begin: AdBrite, Generated: 2009-09-30 0:05:30 --><br /><script type="text/javascript"> var AdBrite_Title_Color = 'F2984C'; var AdBrite_Text_Color = 'E6E6E6'; var AdBrite_Background_Color = '313C3A'; var AdBrite_Border_Color = '313c3a'; var AdBrite_URL_Color = '7F7F7F'; try{var AdBrite_Iframe=window.top!=window.self?2:1;var AdBrite_Referrer=document.referrer==''?document.location:document.referrer;AdBrite_Referrer=encodeURIComponent(AdBrite_Referrer);}catch(e){var AdBrite_Iframe='';var AdBrite_Referrer='';} </script><br /><script type="text/javascript">document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,83,67,82,73,80,84));document.write(' src="http://ads.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=1359497&zs=3330305f323530&ifr='+AdBrite_Iframe+'&ref='+AdBrite_Referrer+'" type="text/javascript">');document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,47,83,67,82,73,80,84,62));</script><br /><div><a target="_top" href="http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php?opid=1359497&afsid=1" style="font-weight:bold;font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Your Ad Here</a></div><!-- End: AdBrite --><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5904884888345426786-3619445783328354348?l=allgetsentertained.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>YAsir Jamalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06222635081340283436noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904884888345426786.post-61927749080161400722009-09-12T19:17:00.003+06:002009-09-30T10:08:28.222+06:00<h1 class="tit" style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;">Smallest Works of Art on Earth</h1><i> </i> <br /><br /><br /><center><br /><a href="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a190_art1.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" class="imgl" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a190_art1.jpg" /></a> <br /></center><center>Willard Wigan was born in Birmingham, England in 1957 and is the creator of the smallest works of art on earth. From being a traumatised and unrecognised dyslexic child, he is now emerging as the most globally celebrated micro-miniaturist of all time and is literally capable of turning a spec of dust into a vision of true beauty. Willard can create a masterpiece within the eye of a tiny sewing needle, on the head of a pin, the tip of an eyelash or a grain of sand. Some are many times smaller than the fullstop at the end of this sentence. <br /><br />He is the creator of the world's smallest sculptures, often taking months to complete one, working between heartbeats to avoid hand tremors. "You have to control the whole nervous system, you have to work between the heartbeat - the pulse of your finger can destroy the work." Wigan uses a tiny surgical blade to carve microscopic figures out of rice, and fragments of grains of sand and sugar, which are then mounted on pinheads. To paint his creations, he uses a hair plucked from a dead fly (the fly has to have died from natural causes, as he refuses to kill them for the sake of his art). His sculptures have included a Santa Claus and a copy of the FIFA World Cup trophy, both about 0.005mm (0.0002in) tall, and a boxing ring with Muhammad Ali figure which fits onto the head of a match. <center> <br /></center><br /><img class="imgl" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a190_art2.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img class="imgl" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a190_art3.jpg" /> </center>The 1993 British film An Eye on X follows Wigan's quest in carving two statues of American black activist Malcolm X, one life size and the other on the head of a toothpick. Additional footage in the production archive includes Willard flying aircraft made out of thin balsa wood, carving on the head of a toothpick and talking about his early life. Wigan was inspired to do his work beginning at the age of 5. He is learning disabled, and doesn't know how to read or write. He said that his childhood teachers "made [him] feel small, made [him] feel like nothing." He decided to prove that "less is more," and that "nothing could be everything." <br /><br />In May 2007, Wigan's 70-piece collection was purchased by tennis player and businessman David Lloyd, who has insured the collection for a total value of £11.2 million. <br /><!-- Begin: AdBrite, Generated: 2009-09-30 0:05:30 --><br /><script type="text/javascript">var AdBrite_Title_Color = 'F2984C';var AdBrite_Text_Color = 'E6E6E6';var AdBrite_Background_Color = '313C3A';var AdBrite_Border_Color = '313c3a';var AdBrite_URL_Color = '7F7F7F';try{var AdBrite_Iframe=window.top!=window.self?2:1;var AdBrite_Referrer=document.referrer==''?document.location:document.referrer;AdBrite_Referrer=encodeURIComponent(AdBrite_Referrer);}catch(e){var AdBrite_Iframe='';var AdBrite_Referrer='';}</script><br /><script type="text/javascript">document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,83,67,82,73,80,84));document.write(' src="http://ads.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=1359497&zs=3330305f323530&ifr='+AdBrite_Iframe+'&ref='+AdBrite_Referrer+'" type="text/javascript">');document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,47,83,67,82,73,80,84,62));</script><br /><div><a target="_top" href="http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php?opid=1359497&afsid=1" style="font-weight:bold;font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Your Ad Here</a></div><!-- End: AdBrite --><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5904884888345426786-6192774908016140072?l=allgetsentertained.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>YAsir Jamalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06222635081340283436noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904884888345426786.post-81311800740115419652009-09-12T19:16:00.002+06:002009-09-30T10:08:36.596+06:00<h1 class="tit" style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;">Arthur Mole's Extraordinary Mass<br /></h1><script type="text/javascript"><!--//---chitika only with SER----var ref=document.referrer.toLowerCase()if ( (ref.indexOf('google.')>0 && ref.indexOf('q=oddee')<0) || (ref.indexOf('yahoo.')>0 && ref.indexOf('p=oddee')<0) || (ref.indexOf('live.')>0 && ref.indexOf('q=oddee')<0) ) { var chi = '<' + 'script type="text/javascript"><' + '!--\n' + 'ch_client = "oddee";\n' + 'ch_type = "mpu";\n' + 'ch_width = 468;\n' + 'ch_height = 180;\n' + 'ch_color_bg = "F8F1E0";\n' + 'ch_color_border = "F8F1E0";\n' + 'ch_color_title = "703A00";\n' + 'ch_color_site_link = "703A00";\n' + 'ch_color_text = "000000";\n' + 'ch_non_contextual = 4;\n' + 'ch_vertical ="premium";\n' + 'ch_sid = "Premium Oddee Articulos";\n' + 'var ch_queries = new Array( );\n' + 'var ch_selected=Math.floor((Math.random()*ch_queries.length));\n' + 'if ( ch_selected < ch_queries.length ) {\n' + 'ch_query = ch_queries[ch_selected];\n' + '}\n' + '//--></' + 'script>\n' + '<' + 'script src="http://scripts.chitika.net/eminimalls/amm.js" type="text/javascript"></' + 'script>' document.write( chi )} //--></script><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><img class="imgl" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a189_m1.jpg" /></center> <br />Almost a century ago and without the aid of any pixel-generating <span style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(112, 58, 0); color: #703a00; font-family: Georgia,Arial,Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline;">computer software</span>, the itinerant photographer Arthur Mole (1889-1983) used his 11 x 14-inch view camera to stage a series of extraordinary mass photographic <span style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(112, 58, 0); color: #703a00; font-family: Georgia,Arial,Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline;">spectacles</span> that choreographed living bodies into symbolic formations of religious and national community. In these mass ornaments, thousands of military troops and other groups were arranged artfully to form American patriotic symbols, emblems, and military insignia visible from a bird's eye perspective. During <span style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(112, 58, 0); color: #703a00; font-family: Georgia,Arial,Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline;">World War I</span>, these military formations came to serve as rallying points to support American involvement in the war and to ward off isolationist tendencies. <br /><br />Living Portrait of President Woodrow Wilson, for which 21,000 troops <span style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(112, 58, 0); color: #703a00; font-family: Georgia,Arial,Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline;">assembled</span> at Camp Sherman in Chillicothe, Ohio, in 1918, is the best-known of Mole's photographs. The image is characteristic of Mole's work in that it wavers between the compositional effect of the whole (i.e. a portrait of Woodrow Wilson) and the desire to focus upon the obscured individuals who constitute the image, thereby undermining the optical illusion of the totality to a degree.<br /><br />&nbsp;On a stifling July day in 1918, 18,000 officers and soldiers posed as Lady Liberty on the parade [drill] grounds at Camp Dodge. According to a July 3, 1986, story in the <span style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(112, 58, 0); color: #703a00; font-family: Georgia,Arial,Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline;">Fort Dodge Messenger</span>, many men fainted — they were dressed in woolen uniforms — as the temperature neared 105°F. The photo, taken from the top of a specially constructed tower by a <span style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(112, 58, 0); color: #703a00; font-family: Georgia,Arial,Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline;">Chicago photography studio</span>, Mole &amp; Thomas, was intended to help promote the sale of war bonds but was never used. <br /><br /><br /><br /><center><img class="imgl" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a189_m2.jpg" /></center> <br />For The Human Liberty Bell, Mole and Thomas traveled to Camp Dix, New Jersey (not far from <span style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(112, 58, 0); color: #703a00; font-family: Georgia,Arial,Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline;">the City</span> of Brotherly Love), to assemble 25,000 troops in the shape of this national icon. The photo stages the Liberty Bell replete with its famous crack to increase its mimetic likeness and symbolic power. The human inscription of the word “LIBERTY” at the top of the bell signals an advance over the cue cards used in earlier images, such as the Zion Shield. Given that this patriotic symbol is composed of troops, the image delivers the platitude that American military involvement is always undertaken in defense of liberty. <br /><br /><br /><center><img class="imgl" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a189_m3.jpg" /></center> <br />The most intriguing thing about these images is that Mole called them “living photographs.” From the photographer's perspective, the emblems are brought to life by means of the living soldiers who embody them. But one can also look at these images from the opposite perspective: we deaden the human beings into form and formation by making them into emblems. The emblem only comes into focus when the living element drops out of the group portrait in these spectacular optical illusions. This total subjection of the individual to the symbolic order also exposes the fascistic tendency inherent in such images. Mole's “living photographs” thinly disguise the forces of death that in fact adhere to all community.

It became famous in 1994 after a trio of speleologists found that its walls were richly decorated with Paleolithic artwork, that it contained the fossilized remains of many animals, including those that are now extinct, and that the floor preserved the footprints of animals and humans.

Most of the artwork dates to the earlier, Aurignacian, era (30,000 to 32,000 <input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden" />years ago). The later Gravettian occupation, which occurred 25,000 to 27,000 <input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden" />years ago, left little but a child's footprint, the charred remains of ancient hearths and carbon smoke stains from torches that lit the caves. <br /><br /><br /><center><img class="imgl" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a172_Chauvet4.jpg" /><br /><br /><img class="imgl" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a172_Chauvet5.jpg" /></center><!-- Begin: AdBrite, Generated: 2009-09-30 0:05:30 --><br /><script type="text/javascript">var AdBrite_Title_Color = 'F2984C';var AdBrite_Text_Color = 'E6E6E6';var AdBrite_Background_Color = '313C3A';var AdBrite_Border_Color = '313c3a';var AdBrite_URL_Color = '7F7F7F';try{var AdBrite_Iframe=window.top!=window.self?2:1;var AdBrite_Referrer=document.referrer==''?document.location:document.referrer;AdBrite_Referrer=encodeURIComponent(AdBrite_Referrer);}catch(e){var AdBrite_Iframe='';var AdBrite_Referrer='';}</script><br /><script type="text/javascript">document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,83,67,82,73,80,84));document.write(' src="http://ads.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=1359497&zs=3330305f323530&ifr='+AdBrite_Iframe+'&ref='+AdBrite_Referrer+'" type="text/javascript">');document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,47,83,67,82,73,80,84,62));</script><br /><div><a target="_top" href="http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php?opid=1359497&afsid=1" style="font-weight:bold;font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Your Ad Here</a></div><!-- End: AdBrite --><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5904884888345426786-6544668818453577728?l=allgetsentertained.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>YAsir Jamalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06222635081340283436noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904884888345426786.post-48611899669800182652009-09-12T19:14:00.002+06:002009-09-30T10:09:02.220+06:00<h1 class="tit" style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;">Papercut Sculptures from single sheets of A4</h1><i> </i><br /><br /><br /><img class="imgl" hspace="3" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a108_p1.jpg" /> <br /><a href="http://www.petercallesen.com/">Peter Callesen</a><span> is a sculptor who works in paper.

Illusions demonstrate this fact. So go ahead, get your own perception from 10 of the coolest illusions ever made.<br /><br /><h2 class="subtit"><a href="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a85_elevator.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a85_elevator.jpg" vspace="5" /></a> 1- Elevator Floor Illusion</h2>Going into this elevator would certainly makes one nervous. A sign at the entrance cautions the people that goes in about work in progress. A more detailed look shows that the floor has been painted with an illusion that there is no floor. <br /><br /><br /><br /><h2 class="subtit"><img align="absmiddle" hspace="3" src="http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/oddee/top2.gif" /> Earthquake Illusion</h2><img src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a85_Earthquake.jpg" vspace="5" /><br /><span> he Red Cross creatively used the power of <span class="IL_SPAN"><input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden" />optical illusion</span><span> to shock viewers in its earthquake-awareness campaign in <span class="IL_LINK_STYLE" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(112, 58, 0); color: #703a00; font-family: Georgia,Arial,Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline;">San Francisco</span>. </span></span><br /><br /><br /><center><br /><br /><br /></center> <h2 class="subtit"><img align="absmiddle" hspace="3" src="http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/oddee/top3.gif" /> Leaning Tower Illusion</h2><img src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a85_pisa.jpg" vspace="5" /><br />Here is a novel illusion that is as striking as it is simple. The two <a href="http://www.brighthub.com/Multimedia/Photography.aspx">digital photography</a><span> images of the <span class="IL_LINK_STYLE" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(112, 58, 0); color: #703a00; font-family: Georgia,Arial,Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline;">Leaning Tower of Pisa</span><span><span> are identical, yet one has <span class="IL_LINK_STYLE" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(112, 58, 0); color: #703a00; font-family: Georgia,Arial,Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline;">the impression</span> that the tower on the right leans more, as if photographed from a different angle. The reason for this is because the </span><span class="IL_LINK_STYLE" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(112, 58, 0); color: #703a00; font-family: Georgia,Arial,Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline;">visual system</span> treats the two images as if part of a single scene. Normally, if two adjacent towers rise at the same angle, their image outlines converge as they recede from view due to perspective, and this is taken into account by the <span class="IL_SPAN"><input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden" />visual system</span>. So when confronted with two towers whose corresponding outlines are parallel, the <span class="IL_SPAN"><input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden" />visual system</span> assumes they must be diverging as they rise from view, and this is what we see. </span></span><br /><br /><br /><h2 class="subtit"><img align="absmiddle" hspace="3" src="http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/oddee/top4.gif" /> Triple Sunrise Illusion</h2><img src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a85_Sunrise.jpg" vspace="5" /><br />This is a natural illusion. On this day, the Sun rised due east at the Equinox, a geocentric astronomical event that occurs twice a year. What we see here is a set of ice halos, recorded on a cold winter morning near Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. Produced by sunlight shining through common atmospheric ice crystals with hexagonal cross-sections, such halos can actually be seen more often than rainbows. The remarkable sunrise picture captures a beautiful assortment of the types most frequently seen, including a sun pillar (center) just above the rising Sun surrounded by a 22 degree halo arc. Completing a triple sunrise illusion, sundogs appear at the far left and far right edges of the 22 degree arc. An upper tangent arc is also just visible at the very top of the view. <br /><br /><br /><h2 class="subtit"><img align="absmiddle" hspace="3" src="http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/oddee/top5.gif" /> Land Shark Optical Illusion</h2><img src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a85_shark.jpg" vspace="5" /><br /><span> This was featured in <span class="IL_LINK_STYLE" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(112, 58, 0); color: #703a00; font-family: Georgia,Arial,Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline;">the Economist Magazine</span><span> article titled "Top Ten Signs" and was a finalist for an Epica Award in 2003. All this time we thought the "Land Shark" skits on <span class="IL_LINK_STYLE" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(112, 58, 0); color: #703a00; font-family: Georgia,Arial,Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline;">Saturday Night Live</span> were just comic fun. Little did we know at the time that this might happen. It starts out innocently, a caring relative gets an exotic pet for their niece or nephew. The beast gets big enough to take off a fingertip and flush it's gone. But being the cleverest species of them all, they adapt and the next thing you know you have a land shark as big as a bus. </span></span><br /><br /><br /><h2 class="subtit"><img align="absmiddle" hspace="3" src="http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/oddee/top6.gif" /> Tansparent Street Signs Illusion</h2><img src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a85_signs.jpg" vspace="5" /><br />Chicago artist Cayetano Ferrer paints street signs with images of its immediate background, thus giving them the illusion of transparency. <br /><br /><br /><h2 class="subtit"><img align="absmiddle" hspace="3" src="http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/oddee/top7.gif" /> Cardiff Bay Illusion</h2><img src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a85_cardiff.jpg" vspace="5" /><br /><span>Cardiff Bay barrage visitors would definitely love the art that Swiss artist felice Varini and his team created. Seen at a certain angle, the large <span class="IL_LINK_STYLE" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(112, 58, 0); color: #703a00; font-family: Georgia,Arial,Verdana; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline;">optical illusion</span> would render into a public art which would fascinate unknowing visitors. </span><br /><br /><br /><h2 class="subtit"><img align="absmiddle" hspace="3" src="http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/oddee/top8.gif" /> Shadow Illusion</h2><img src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a85_shadow.jpg" vspace="5" /><br />Partners in both life and art, Tim Noble (1966) and Sue Webster (1967) explore the toxic influences of consumer culture through new modes of portraiture. Turning garbage into complex and visually arresting sculptural installations, Noble and Webster exploit, manipulate and transform base materials, often using self-portraiture to undermine the "celebrated" authorship of the artist. This artwork is called "Dirty White Trash", Six months' worth of the artists' rubbish. <br /><br /><br /><h2 class="subtit"><img align="absmiddle" hspace="3" src="http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/oddee/top9.gif" /> Death Ad Illusion</h2><img src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a85_death.jpg" vspace="5" /><br />A "Be careful" Ad illusion. It lets people know they should be more careful on how they use those stairs... <br /><br /><br /><h2 class="subtit"><img align="absmiddle" hspace="3" src="http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/oddee/top10.gif" /> Money Illusion</h2><img src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a85_money.jpg" vspace="5" /><br />Yes, it's simple, but still cool, since it's so simple, you can do it yourself! <!-- Begin: AdBrite, Generated: 2009-09-30 0:05:30 --><br /><script type="text/javascript">var AdBrite_Title_Color = 'F2984C';var AdBrite_Text_Color = 'E6E6E6';var AdBrite_Background_Color = '313C3A';var AdBrite_Border_Color = '313c3a';var AdBrite_URL_Color = '7F7F7F';try{var AdBrite_Iframe=window.top!=window.self?2:1;var AdBrite_Referrer=document.referrer==''?document.location:document.referrer;AdBrite_Referrer=encodeURIComponent(AdBrite_Referrer);}catch(e){var AdBrite_Iframe='';var AdBrite_Referrer='';}</script><br /><script type="text/javascript">document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,83,67,82,73,80,84));document.write(' src="http://ads.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=1359497&zs=3330305f323530&ifr='+AdBrite_Iframe+'&ref='+AdBrite_Referrer+'" type="text/javascript">');document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,47,83,67,82,73,80,84,62));</script><br /><div><a target="_top" href="http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php?opid=1359497&afsid=1" style="font-weight:bold;font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Your Ad Here</a></div><!-- End: AdBrite --><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5904884888345426786-6893941332625434871?l=allgetsentertained.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>YAsir Jamalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06222635081340283436noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904884888345426786.post-22191562504725107322009-09-12T18:49:00.002+06:002009-09-30T10:09:31.489+06:00<h1 class="tit" style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;">Ron Mueck's Incredible Human Sculptures</h1><i> </i><br /><br /> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a197_mueck1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" class="imgl" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a197_mueck1.jpg" /></a></div><div style="float: left; width: 475px;">Ron Mueck is a London-based photo-realist artist. Born in Melbourne, Australia, to parents who were toy makers, he labored on children's television shows for <nobr>15 years</nobr> before working in special effects for such films as <i>Labyrinth</i>, a 1986 fantasy epic starring David Bowie. <br /><br />Mueck then started his own company in London, making models to be photographed for advertisements. He has lots of the dolls he made during his advertising years stored in his home. Although some still have, he feels, a "presence on their own," many were made just to be photographed from a particular angle — "one strip of a face," for example, with a lot of loose material lurking an inch outside the camera's frame. <br /><br />Eventually Mueck concluded that photography pretty much destroys the physical "presence" of the original object, and so he turned to fine art and sculpture. In the early 1990's, still in his advertising days, Mueck was commissioned to make something highly realistic, and was wondering what material would do the trick. Latex was the usual, but he wanted something harder, more precise. Luckily, he saw a little architectural decor on the wall of a boutique and inquired as to the nice, pink stuff's nature. Fiberglass resin was the answer, and Mueck has made it his bronze and marble ever since. <br /><br /><br /><center> </center>The attention to detail and sheer technical brilliance of his figures are incredible, but it is Mueck's use of scale that takes your breath away.. <br /><br />Ron Mueck's work became world-famous when a poignant sculpture of his dead fathers small, naked body caused shock waves in the Royal Academy's Sensation exhibition in 1997. <br /><br /><br /><center> <img class="imgl" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a197_mueck2.jpg" /> </center>His work is lifelike but not life size, and being face to face with the tiny, gossiping Two Women (2005) or the monumental woman In Bed (2005) is an unforgettable experience. Mueck's huge 4.5m crouching Boy was the centerpiece of the Millennium Dome in London and of the Venice Biennale in 2001. The artist's work is becoming ever more intriguing, ranging from smaller-than-life size naked figures to much larger, but never actual, life size. <br /><br /><br /><center> <img class="imgl" src="http://208.106.191.145/_media/imgs/articles/a197_mueck3.jpg" /> </center>Consequently his hyper-realistic sculptures in fiberglass and silicone, while extraordinarily lifelike, challenge us by their odd scale.

For hours on time, he remains, as a living work of art, in physically impossible positions.
