nutcase_helmets

I want one of these. Or maybe the one with the shark. A fun, practical bike helmet that doesn’t make you look like an idiot (well maybe). The pun in the name is nice too. The full range is here.

outstealinghorses

The Millions polled its readers on the top novels and compared it to a list of Pros. I was very pleased to see my personal favourite Out Stealing Horses appear in the Panel’s list. It seldom appears in these lists and it totally deserves to.

I also enjoy Oscar Wao (first on the readers list) but not as much as Out Stealing. The lists contain many good books. Read them.

Baghdad International C-17

Maybe, seems to be the answer.  This post is a good read <link>

“For some time I’ve been noticing some differences in handling of various Middle Eastern military facilities. This isn’t a conspiracy theory: I’m simply noting that often the level of detail seems to be less for Israeli facilities than for Arab and even American military facilities in the Middle East. It may just be a function of available imagery, or it may be a concern for security, or it may be that the Israelis simply know when the satellites are overhead and keep their stuff in hangars.”
