"These photographs, recently put on display at the New York Public Library, document the statue's construction during her years in Paris between 1877 and 1885."

 



My Ten Seconds of Fame

I'm the first v-mail of the segment ever!!!
I DID NOT THINK OF THIS QUESTION TO ASK, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW!

Lol, they kinda fibbed about these videos coming from home, this first time around they had asked audience members before going in to ask these, and mine was rehearsed. Lol, I look crazy in the video, they asked me to look really enthusiastic.

Does anyone know how I can bootleg this onto youtube so I can always see myself on the segment??

Telescopes to Show Universe Soon After Big Bang

(CNN) -- It may not be possible to travel back in time, but seeing stars and galaxies as they looked millions or even billions of years ago is no problem thanks to telescopes, the closest thing we have to time machines.

Now, astronomers are holding their breath to see what they'll observe and discover with a new generation of huge telescopes set to be built around the world.

Peering ever deeper into space and further back in time, the powerful devices will be able to show what the universe was like when it was just a few hundred million years old and emerging from a period of total darkness after the Big Bang.

"[We'll be] looking at the first generation of stars forming in the universe, which is kind of a cool idea: The time when the lights went on in the universe. There was no light before that time," said Daniel Fabricant, associate director of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

His institution is one of several research organizations and universities developing the Giant Magellan Telescope, to be built in Las Campanas, Chile, by 2018.

'Eye on the sky'

Bigger is better in the world of reflecting telescopes, which rely on primary mirrors to collect light. The bigger the primary mirror, the more light it can gather and the fainter the objects astronomers can see.

The world's largest optical and infrared telescopes have primary mirrors that measure about 10 meters (32 feet) across. But the Giant Magellan Telescope will more than double that diameter, with a monster primary mirror spanning almost 25 meters (80 feet).

If the Magellan is the first new-generation star gazer to be built, it may not remain the record holder for long. Another consortium of organizations and universities is preparing to construct the aptly named Thirty Meter Telescope on the Mauna Kea summit in Hawaii, also scheduled for completion in 2018.

I've probably posted at least the first of these images previously, but it's worth repeating..

The Infamous Lightning Shot

This is one sick picture that my cousin Patrick happened to capture!

I was telling him he couldn't time it well enough to capture a bolt, then BAM!

Video from that storm here:

The first video is actually hilarious with the way I respond to the scary-close lightning- check it out 10 seconds in!

Short Circuit!

Dimension Films is rewiring "Short Circuit," acquiring rights to remake the 1986 film.

The original introduced Number 5, a robot built by the military to be a highly sophisticated weapon. It developed a conscience and a personality after being hit by lightning, and then needed the help of humans after it was targeted for destruction by its makers, once it became a peacenik.

S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock, who created the characters and wrote both "Short Circuit" films, have been hired to write the remake. David Foster and Ryan E. Heppe will produce with John Hyde.

Deal was made by Dimension co-chairman Bob Weinstein, who called "Short Circuit" a worthy addition to its family film slate.

Foster, who produced the original with his partner Lawrence Turman and son Gary Foster, said the film will be similar in theme to the original, but it will factor in advances in technology.

Triplet Gives Birth to Her Own Set of 3

DETROIT (June 4) - A Michigan woman who's one-third of a set of triplets is celebrating the birth of her own three babies.

Amber Ali delivered Amir, Armann and Amari Whitaker on May 26 at Sinai-Grace Hospital in Detroit. The 23-year-old woman tells The Detroit News she's relieved the boys arrived safely.

The children remain hospitalized, and Ali says she's looking forward to playing with them. She says: "It's going to be fun."

Amir was 4 pounds, 5 ounces at birth; Amari was 4 pounds, 3 ounces; and Armann was 3 pounds, 12 ounces. The babies' 25-year-old father, Andre Whitaker, says that naming the triplets "took forever."

Whitaker said he was shocked when he first learned Ali was carrying triplets. "Tell you the truth I almost passed out," he told Local 4 television station in Detroit.
The couple live with Whitaker's mother in Detroit. Amber Ali's triplet sisters, Asia and Ashley, live in nearby Redford Township.

'38. Damn!

From perezhilton.com:

"System of a Down drummer John Dolmayan has purchased the first comic book featuring Superman for $317,200 dollars!!!

Insane!

The hard rock drummer who doubles as a comic book dealer shelled out the big bucks for the ultra-rare Action Comics No. 1 from 1938 in an online auction for one of his clients.

There are a reported 100 copies of Superman's debut comic in existence and rarely are up for sale. "This is one of the premier books you could collect," Dolmayan explained in an interview. "It's considered the Holy Grail of comic books. I talked to my client, and we made the move."

And how much did the previous owner pay for the rare comic?

Only 35 cents!"
