My cunt examination
One day a boy asks his dad,
"What's the difference between a p**** and a cunt?"
Dad thought for a minute and said, "Come with me."
He took his son to his mother's bedroom, where she
was sleeping nude. "Son," he whispered, "see that
brown soft furry patch? That is a p****."
The boy asked, "May I touch it to see how soft and
furry it is?"
"No!" replied his father. "That might wake up the cunt."

Miniaturize a Scene
From Wired How-To Wiki
It's called a tilt-shift effect. It's a favorite device of fine-art photographers and the Flickr crowd. The idea is to keep a narrow band of a picture in sharp focus while blurring everything else. The result: a sprawling photo-scape suddenly looks like a scale model. To pull it off you need an expensive tilt-shift lens -— or this simple Photoshop trick.
This page is a wiki. Got extra advice? Log in and add it.
How To Proceed
1. Import your image to Photoshop, then press Q to enter Quick Mask mode.
2. Select the Gradient tool and set it to Reflected Gradient. Click on the area you want to be in focus and drag the cursor in the direction you want the image to blur.
3. Press Q again to complete the mask and exit Quick Mask mode
4. Invert your selection with CTRL+SHIFT+I (in Windows)/ SHIFT+COMMAND+I (ie Select>Inverse) (Mac) (once you quit Quick Mask, otherwise you'll blur the section you actually want to keep in focus :)
5. Apply a blur filter from the Filters menu.
6. Marvel at your masterpiece.

Tips & Tricks
Tip: For better results, you may also want to increase the saturation of the image because often models are painted with bright, slightly unrealistic colors. This can really make a big difference in the final image and add that extra 'pop' to the effect. Press cmd+U (on a mac) or ctrl+U on a PC to change the saturation, often +40 works pretty well but play around with it to see what looks the best for that image.
Tip: Start on photos with lots of depth and detail. Prime candidates include skyline shots, arial shots or anything with a birds-eye view of a scene far away and below. It's an optical illusion, so the more large objects (cars, trucks, buildings, rivers) in the scene, the easier it will be to fool the eye.
Tip: The further you drag the cursor for the Gradient tool, the more of your photo will stay in focus. For better results, keep the in-focus portion slimmer by dragging over less of the photo.
Tip: Making a miniature set appear real usually requires getting the lens as low to the "ground" as possible...so making a real scene look small requires the opposite. Choosing a perspective from higher than twenty feet in the air will automatically bias the observer into believing the scene is of something small. Usually the higher - the better.
Tip: In theory, at least, you should be able to make model shots look less "model-ey" using the same technique, by making sure your mask is centred on the actual point of focus and using "Unsharp Mask" instead of "Blur". It may take some trial-and-error to get the gradient mask along the same axis as the "line of perfect focus", so don't be afraid to make several attempts befor picking the best one.

Praise as good as cash to brain
Paying people a compliment appears to activate the same reward center in the brain as paying them cash, Japanese researchers said "We found that these seemingly different kinds of rewards -- a good reputation versus money -- are biologically coded by the same neural structure, the striatum," In one set of experiments, people played a gambling game in which they were told one of three cards would yield a payout. The researchers then monitored the brain activity triggered when the subjects got a cash reward In a second set of experiments, people were told they were being evaluated by strangers based on information from a personality questionnaire and a video they had made The researchers then monitored reactions to these staged evaluations -- including when the subjects thought strangers had paid them a compliment

Islam is based on the divine revelations of the prophet Muhammed. These revelations were collected to create the holy book of Islam: the Quran. The Quran emphasizes several main points: there is one God (Allah), and Muhammed is His final prophet; the importance of social equality; a strong social code (sharia); and what it is to be a good Muslim through the five pillars of Islam

my cynical days- by a closet Gordon Ramsey
1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either. Just fuckin' leave me alone.
2. If you don't like my driving, don't call anyone. Just take another road. That's why the highway department made so many of the fuckers!.
3. It's a small world. So go on...use your fuckin' elbows .
4. When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle. It makes the neighbor's dog run like mad to the end of his chain and gag himself. Serves the fuckin' barker right!
5. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal the neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it...you shit!
6. I live on a one-way dead-end street.
7. If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to fuckin' blame.
8. Always take time to stop and smell the fuckin' roses... and sooner or later, you'll suck in a bee.
10. Love is like a roller coaster: when it's good you don't want to get off, and when it isn't... you can't wait to fuckin' throw up...preferably over that bitch!
11. Happiness...what a fuckin' joke, is merely the remission of pain.

how to Resize Images And Maintain Original Sharpness
You have a nice big beautiful photo But you need it much smaller by the time the file is down to the right size, you might find that the image has started to take on a blurry look is a real problem with resizing images, but luckily in Photoshop there's a solution to reduce an image go to the Image> Image Size menu. Click on Resample Image and choose Bicubic Sharper from the drop-down menu. This is the best setting for making sure that an image doesn't blur. The example photo of the flower started at 2,000 pixels across. I stepped it down to 250, and then again to 125 with almost no loss of sharpness Troubleshooting

You walk wrong
“It took 4 million years to develop our unique human foot and our consequent distinctive form of gait, a remarkable feat of bioengineering. Yet, in only a few thousand years, and with one carelessly designed instrument, our shoes, we have warped the pure anatomical form of human gait, obstructing its engineering efficiency, afflicting it with strains and stresses and denying it its natural grace of form and ease of movement head to foot.”
it’s not your fault It’s your shoes. Last year, researchers at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, published a study titled “Shod Versus Unshod: The Emergence of Forefoot Pathology in Modern Humans?” in the podiatry journal The Foot. concluded that, prior to the invention of shoes, people had healthier feet Among the modern subjects, the Zulu population, which often goes barefoot, had the healthiest feet while the Europeans—i.e., the habitual shoe-wearers—had the unhealthiest. But does that really mean we don’t walk correctly? (Yes.) I mean, don’t we instinctively know how to walk? (Yes, sort of.) Isn’t walking totally natural? Yes—but shoes aren’t. clipped from nymag.comclipped from nymag.com“Natural gait is biomechanically impossible for any shoe-wearing person,” wrote Dr. William A. Rossi in a 1999 article in Podiatry Management.

How Not To Train A Bus Driver
I hope they don't blame the trainee.
A learner driver discovered he had no room up top in his bus after smashing it into a low bridge yesterday. The top deck was ripped off and left on the road after the accident in the village of Four Ashes, near Wolverhampton. The National Express West Midlands driver, who was alongside an instructor and another trainee, had been following a set training route when disaster struck. The bridge, which carries the main train line to Scotland, is 12ft 3in, but the bus height is 14ft 9in. Trains were running as normal yesterday.

how to fix an allergy house
Allergy-Proof Your House
Back to school, back to cooler nights, back to a sneeze-free life? Think again. Ragweed, late summer’s big offender, lingers well into fall. Plus, your house may be harboring a gang of other allergens—dust mites lurking in bedding and carpet, mold thriving on late-season humidity, beloved pets full of dander, not to mention cockroaches and mice ready to come in from the soon-to-be cold. Sounds like it’s a good time to fortify your germ defenses with these fall-cleaning tips from our allergy experts.
Whole Home
Target: Ragweed, pollen, and other airborne uglies
Autumn’s arrival means sneezing, runny noses, and itchy eyes for up to 20 percent of Americans, thanks to ragweed. Meanwhile, mold and dust mites may already be triggering allergic reactions.
Action Plan:
Crank up the AC. It filters incoming air and dehumidifies your house, a hedge against mold and dust mites. Effective air conditioners should keep the humidity level around 30 to 40 percent. To monitor the level of moisture in your air, try a humidity gauge (available at home-improvement stores). If you get a reading above 50 percent with the AC on, your unit may not be powerful enough.
Filter it. Change the filter for your heating-and-AC system monthly to combat clogs that keep it from doing its allergy-fighting job.
Clean the air. Put a free-standing air purifier (www.natlallergy.com has a good selection) in rooms where you spend a lot of time; it may reduce allergic reactions if it has true HEPA (high-efficency particulate air filter) technology, the gold standard when it comes to removing tiny airborne particles. Make sure the packaging has the HEPA label. But avoid ozone-generating purifiers; too much ozone is an airway irritant.
Bedroom
Target: Dust mites
About 20 million of us are allergic to dust mites. But don’t let them get between you and a good night’s sleep.
Action Plan:
Bathe your bedding. Use only washable linens, and launder them weekly in water that’s at least 130 degrees. Turn up the hot-water heater for the job, and then return it to the safe zone.
Wrap it up. Studies show that allergenic mattress wraps (find many at www.allergybuyersclub.com) can keep dust mite waste from puffing out into your air.
Living Room
Target: Dust mites and dander
Dust mites live here, too, along with invited guests: Dogs and cats harbor allergens in their saliva, urine, and dander.
Action Plan:
Vacuum smart. Invest in a high-quality vac that has a HEPA filter or double-layer bags. Try Sears’ Kenmore Progressive 25512 canister model (about $250; www.sears.com). Also, wear a dust mask or (happily) delegate this chore.
Fight the fur. A vacuum’s upholstery attachment can de-fur furnishings, but keep pets off of them as much as possible. Ideally, pets should get a weekly bath. Try Allerpet’s line of towel-applied shampoos (www.amazon.com)—no soaking of cranky animals required.
Bathroom
Target: Mold
Mold loves wet, steamy surroundings, and experts caution that its tiny spores can be inhaled. If you’re allergic to pollens and dander, chances are you’ll have some sensitivity to mold spores, too.
Action Plan:
Scrub the tight spots. Give the corners of your shower or tub a weekly once-over with a cleaning solution containing 5 percent chlorine bleach and a small amount of detergent. Always use the ventilation fan when you shower. And if you see mildew on that wallpaper? Time to strip it.
Kitchen
Target: Cockroaches and mice
Allergens in their saliva and droppings can make you sneeze. Also, studies have shown that exposure to cockroaches can trigger or worsen asthma.
Action Plan:
Control crumbs. Clean regularly under your stove, refrigerator, and toaster, where crumbs tend to gather. Don’t leave dishes in the sink. And keep all food sealed tight.
Best method to Whiten Your Teeth the Natural Way
The secret to this inexpensive home whitening method is malic acid, which acts as an astringent to remove surface discoloration. Combined with baking soda, strawberries become a natural tooth-cleanser Be careful not to use this too often, though, as the acid could damage the enamel on your teeth You need: Directions: Crush the strawberry to a pulp, then mix with the baking powder until blended. Use a soft toothbrush to spread the mixture onto your teeth. Leave on for 5 minutes, then brush thoroughly with toothpaste to remove the berry–baking powder mix. Rinse you can apply once a week.

world’s most incredible agricultural engineering project
tourism is also thought to be responsible for the start of what could be a slow death of the terraces for a couple of reasons. firstly, the new generation of locals see the hospitality industry created by the terraces as a far more appealing line of work than the constant farming and attention needed to sustain the terraces themselves. secondly, water isn’t as readily available as in the past due to the effects of an earthquake in 1990 and the new demand for water itself from the tourist industry.
for that reason unesco has placed the terraces on a list of world heritage sites it believes to be ‘in danger’ in hope of starting a successful rehabilitation of the world’s most incredible agricultural engineering system.

the rice terraces of the philippine cordilleras approximately 3′000 years ago the people of cordillera took on one of mankind’s most impressive landscape modification projects in order to farm effectively on the surrounding mountainsides and slowly transform the region into what some now call the eighth wonder of the world. due to the sheer scale of this farming system it’s hard to disagree: the rice terraces of the philippine cordilleras, if laid out end to end, would stretch halfway round the globe. the fact that it was completed thousands of years ago without the use of modern apparatus and machinery takes the terraces and integrated irrigation systems to a whole new level carve horizontal ledges into hills, essentially creating thousands of small walled fields from base to peak in which to grow crops and retain much needed water. however, in the cordilleras region this has been applied to an area on an elsewhere unseen scale: approximately 10′360 square kilometre

The Origin of the Crossword Puzzle
Crossword Casualties
Some folks were driven over the edge by the craze. In 1924, a Chicago woman sued her husband for divorce, claiming "he was so engrossed in solving crosswords that he didn’t have time to work." The judge ordered the man to "limit himself to 3 puzzles a day and devote the rest of his time to domestic duties." In 1925, a New York Telephone Co. employee shot his wife when she wouldn’t help with a crossword puzzle. And in 1926, a Budapest man committed suicide, leaving an explanation in the form of a crossword puzzle. (No one could solve it.) Eventually, the craze died down. It took The New York Times to revive it.
Today, The New York Times crossword puzzle is considered the puzzle of choice for hardcore addicts, but that hasn’t always been true. Believe it or not, the Times resisted crosswords for more than two decades.Here’s the story of how the newspaper changed its mind...<<
