Alien Invasion?
Three giant alien spaceships are heading for Earth! Scientists predict they will arrive in early 2011.
UFO encounters continue to increase – as documented on WWN. And today scientists at SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), an independent non-commercial organization, made a major announcement:
“Three giant spaceships are heading towards Earth. The largest one of them is 200 miles wide. Two others are slightly smaller. At present, the objects are just moving past Jupiter. Judging by their speed, they should be on Earth by early 2011,” said John Malley, the lead extraterrestrial expert at SETI.
The spaceships were detected by HAARP search system. The system, based in Alaska, was designed to study the phenomenon of northern lights. According to SETI researchers, the objects are extraterrestrial spaceships. They will be visible in optical telescopes as soon as they reach Mars’s orbit – sometime in March of 2011. The US government has been reportedly informed about the event.

The work of Eddie Martinez
EDDIE
MARTINEZ
Martinez’s painting is a way of recording the chaotic nature of life into paint, to be analyzed and observed later. What Martinez offers is not a theoretical concept that can be proven or disproved. Something more mysterious and inexplicable is happening here, based not in hard facts but in the very nature of the soft mutability of paint. Martinez navigates an ocean of information with instinctive talent, and defies the ability to pin down and clarify.
Martinez’s paintings come out of a practice of drawing that almost never stops, a steady outpouring of imagery. Filtering through the background noise of contemporary life and aligning it with the past, the references for a Martinez painting pop in from everywhere. The longer one spends with his works, the more one absorbs that this is a renegade paint form, and the constant movement is why Martinez paintings feel so fresh yet simultaneously classic.
Organizing his thoughts physically on the canvas, Martinez isn’t afraid to attack the surface with bold brushwork and then scrape away at and carve into it, obsessively adding and canceling, layer upon layer. Constant learning, from both art history and contemporary art activities, is absorbed into his character to the point of habit. Daily life ephemera, conversations, thoughts, ideas are all recorded in the paint, and his spontaneity gives the carefully worked paintings their raw feeling.
Martinez has developed his own distinct style with a personal iconography of recurring motifs that he both repeats and transmutes. Like his wild-eyed blockheads, monolithic figures that are at times cracked open by a sword, or joined by other blockheads in a gazing stack. Avoiding all pretension, a continuous story spreads out across his work, developing from one series to the next, while all the while reveling in the sheer beauty of the paint.

"I left my house when I was seventeen because I wasn't getting along with my parents. I have lived on my own ever since. It was a really good experience for me. Taught me how to be ambitious and get things done because I knew no one else was gonna be there to help me if I messed up and couldn't afford rent, or food etc. It also taught me the value of a dollar which I think is missing in MANY MANY young people's lives. It's unfortunate."

"Well over the weekend we played with a lot of Polaroids, and that's always fun. Lately, I've been trying to work with more artists that inspire me so I don't feel burnt out. I'm trying to melt the worlds of fashion and fetish together to create erotic art that doesn't necessarily include nudity".

Redheads can take electric pain
Two studies have demonstrated that people with red hair have different sensitivity to pain compared to people with other hair colors. One study found that people with red hair are more sensitive to thermal pain (associated with naturally occurring low vitamin K levels),while another study concluded that redheads are less sensitive to pain from multiple modalities, including noxious stimuli such as electrically induced pain

End of the World as we Know it...
END OF THE WORLD?
If you watch the news and read the papers and what’s on the internet; by the looks of it, it seems it’s the end of the world. If it’s not the end, it appears more then ever as if it’s around corner. It could be fear mongering by the media as a form of control? It could be that information due to the rapid growth of social media gives us “breaking” news overdoses. Things have always happened, but now we find out on real time instead of weeks or months later. It’s at an instance. The world is more united when it comes to info sharing. Now, if a doze birds die mysteriously everyone around the world can find out in 1 hour. Does this have to do with all of this 2012 talk? I like to stay optimistic, even if I stopped eating the fish. If Dec. 21st 2012 is the date…well I have a little message for the Mayans….
