Welp. This is clearly going to be the best movie released all year. Maybe the whole decade.

Darth Vader Helmet Art
In relation to thevaderproject.com, 24 chosen artists have created original art pieces using authentic replica Darth Vader helmets. All 24 helmet art pieces are being auctioned off at halloweencostumes.com/contest/darth-vader-helmet.asp, and these are my favorites of the many great helmets:

Aurora Australis Observed from the International Space Station
Among the views of Earth afforded astronauts aboard the +International Space Station (ISS), surely one of the most spectacular is of the aurora. These ever-shifting displays of colored ribbons, curtains, rays, and spots are most visible near the North (aurora borealis) and South (aurora australis) Poles as charged particles (ions) streaming from the Sun (the solar wind) interact with Earth’s magnetic field.
While aurora are generally only visible close to the poles, severe magnetic storms impacting the Earth’s magnetic field can shift them towards the equator. This striking aurora image was taken during a geomagnetic storm that was most likely caused by a coronal mass ejection from the +Sun on May 24, 2010. The ISS was located over the Southern Indian Ocean at an altitude of 350 kilometers (220 miles), with the astronaut observer most likely looking towards Antarctica (not visible) and the South Pole.
The aurora has a sinuous ribbon shape that separates into discrete spots near the lower right corner of the image. While the dominant coloration of the aurora is green, there are faint suggestions of red left of image center. Dense cloud cover is dimly visible below the aurora. The curvature of the Earth’s horizon (the limb) is clearly visible, as is the faint blue line of the upper atmosphere directly above it (at image top center). Several stars appear as bright pinpoints against the blackness of space at image top right.
Auroras happen when ions in the solar wind collide with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen in the upper atmosphere. The atoms are excited by these collisions, and they typically emit light as they return to their original energy level. The light creates the aurora that we see. The most commonly observed color of aurora is green, caused by light emitted by excited oxygen atoms at wavelengths centered at 0.558 micrometers, or millionths of a meter. (Visible light is reflected from healthy (green) plant leaves at approximately the same wavelength.) Red aurora are generated by light emitted at a longer wavelength (0.630 micrometers), and other colors such as blue and purple are also sometimes observed.

DOD Official Says U.S. Overestimated Al Qaeda’s Capabilities After 9/11
A top Pentagon official admitted that the U.S. government may have misjudged the actual threat posed by Al Qaeda in the immediate aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. More than a decade later, Michael A. Sheehan, the assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low intensity conflict, told an audience Tuesday, “Quite frankly, we, the American people, were asleep at the switch, the U.S. government, prior to 9/11. So an organization that wasn’t that good looked re…

I wish I liked Beer. There is so much history behind it and so many different micro brews, not to mention the entire artistry behind brewing it! So, I share this for all my beer appreciating friends! I'm strictly a Root Beer snob. 😉

Your Complete Guide to Beer
Beer has quickly become the bearded nerd's equivalent of wine: Something about it inspires passionate arguments about nerdy arcana such as the shape of brewing vats and hops growing seasons. The pursuit of perfect suds can be seen blossoming at your local grocery store, where beer aisles are bursting at the seams with mind-numbing levels of variety.
So here, we present you with something perfect for lazy beer nerds: An infographic to tell you the best beers, according to category:

This is an awesome story; both the meaning behind the photo and how it was discovered. Worth a couple minutes to recognize the courage of August Landmesser.

Ordinary people. The courage to say no.
The photo was taken in Hamburg in 1936, during the celebrations for the launch of a ship. In the crowed, one person refuses to raise his arm to give the Nazi salute. The man was August Landmesser. He had already been in trouble with the authorities, having been sentenced to two years hard labour for marrying a Jewish woman.
We know little else about August Landmesser, except that he had two children. By pure chance, one of his children recognized her father in this photo when it was published in a German newspaper in 1991. How proud she must have been in that moment.

It takes an insane amount of searching to find out how many Oreos are in a 10-pack 3-pound box. Ended up finding that there are 30 cookies in an 8-ounce package (if that search was to be trusted) so that means they are .6 ounces. So, 80 cookies in a 3-pound box. Dang. That's a lot of stuffing. Me want to eat. 😉

+Tiffany Henry and her wacky madcap adventures when she is left to HIRL all on her own! My sincerest apologies to John Hughes. 😉
In HIRL Alone Tiffany, who is accidentally left behind while her family flies to France for a HIRL, decides to HIRL all by herself, but then has to defend her HIRL against burglars Daniel Stern and someone with a strangely familiar looking face.
Then, in HIRL Alone 2: Lost in New York, one year after Tiffany was left to HIRL alone and had to defeat a pair of bumbling burglars, she finds herself in New York City for a massive HIRL. However, when +Carter Gibson forgets to hold the tour bus for her, she ends up HIRL'ing alone, and the same HIRL-crashing bandits are not far behind.
