My Favorite Christmas Song
I love the imagery this song invokes. It puts me in a wintry snowy place, cold and far away but knowing that somewhere, far away, 2000 miles through snow away is a warm place where a hot fire is burning and people love me and are anticipating my return as I battle the elements, walking, trudging through the bitter cold to be with them.
Chrissy Hynde's voice is so filled with emotion and longing, she is so perfect for this song, the Pretenders are tight and talented musicians, yet this was such an unexpected pleasant surprise from them when they put it out.
Ever wonder what it would be like to shoot a gun underwater?
Ever wonder what it would be like to shoot a gun underwater? It looks like a scene lifted straight from a Bond flick.
Firearm aficionado Andrew Tuohy gave it a go with a .40 Glock 22 in his own pool. The video above was shot with Pentax WG-2 on the "high speed" video setting. It's been slowed down to 30fps for an added bad ass factor. (Watch for the bullet and casing to slow down and sink to the bottom at the end.) He also tinkered around with another submerged weapon—check out a picture of the .45 Kimber 1911 going off below.
Andrew said while no guns were damaged in the making of these photos, the underwater shock he felt after they were fired made him feel like he had been kicked in the chest.
Morning Exercise - Last Chance!
This may be your last chance to exercise before the apocalypse,
tongue exercise is optional....
Planetary Nebula Ornament
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope celebrates the holiday
season with a striking image of the planetary nebula NGC 5189. The intricate
structure of the stellar eruption looks like a giant and brightly coloured
ribbon in space.
