Alligators Breathe like Birds! Cool!
University of Utah scientists discovered that air flows in one direction as it loops through the lungs of alligators, just as it does in birds. The study suggests this breathing method may have helped the dinosaurs’ ancestors dominate Earth after the planet’s worst mass extinction 251 million years ago. Via: Science Daily

Civil War Artist - A.R. Waud
Alfred Rudolph Waud emigrated to the United States from England as an illustrator in 1850. Waud was one of a number of sketch artists working during the Civil War, providing depictions of battles and scenes that photographic equipment was still too new to capture.
Waud was with the Army of the Potomac for the duration of the Battle of Gettysburg, and a number of his sketches survive. Most of a sketch artist’s work would not make it to publication. The sketch usually provided the basis for a more elaborate engraving that would appear in print. Waud’s “Death of Reynolds” sketch is depicted here, with Reynold’s falling backwards off his horse, hat coming off his head. Keep reading article

Magic Waxx (tin) - £9.00
As it says on the tin. A magic waxx for YOUR pleasure! Take one soy wax candle & throw in some cocoa and shea butter, for nourishing your skin, some peppermint oil for tickling your senses and some toffee flavoured oil (just incase..) and you have a massage candle for one! Light the wick and allow the waxx to melt into a soft warm pool. After 20 mins blow the wick out and then scoop out the warm waxx, to use as a body and face treatment, just like 5 star spas and resort treatments!

Cherry Pie Auction Sets Another Record
The 38th Annual Cherry Pie Auction was again a record setting event according to David Withers of the City of Brownwood Parks and Recreation Department.
“Last year we set a new record at $15,590.00, this year we set a new record at $16,382.00,” Withers said.
The Cherry Pie Auction was held Saturday, from 9:00am-12:00 noon at the Adams Street Community Center. According to Withers, there were over 126 auction items donated by businesses and individuals. Several hundred people were estimated to have visited the Cherry Pie Auction this year. Good people, but crazy people for some good ol' cherry pie. That must be some good ass cherry pie, or people in this town really want to help out or must be really fuckin' bored. Cheers to them!
Who remembers the Cherry Pie girl from that Warrant music video?

robert howsare: drawing apparatus
The revolution of the records create drawings that serve as a markers of temporality. The drawings also speak to the idea of the editionable print through their ability to be replicated using domestic materials.
Drawing Apparatus from Robert Howsare on Vimeo.
Designer/artist Robert Howsare has discovered a new drawing tool. It would be interesting to see him develop more drawngs by other musical or domestic materials. Make sure to check out the video at the bottom of this post. It's hypnotizing!

Ha, I saw this on Tony Hawks twitter feed and had to laugh. He explains pretty much everything wrong with the TSA. Check it out.
TSA agent checked my ID, matched it to my ticket, then looked up. "you look like Tony Hawk!" You mean like it says on my Driver's license?
