SCUGOG -- Scugog is behind the times when it comes to policing illegal billboard signs that have sprouted up across the community.
That's the message councillors heard recently when informed by municipal bylaw staff that there are at least 121 roadside signs scattered across the township, none of them are legally licensed by Scugog.
"That's the meat and potatoes of our sign problem," said Scott Honey, a Scugog bylaw officer, during a recent training and education session for council members.
The number of billboard signs across Scugog has doubled since 2008, the last time the Township took a hard look at the roadside signs. In October 2008, Scugog staff reported there were at least 57 illegal billboard signs and a moratorium was placed on new permits until the existing signs were brought into compliance.
A short time later, Scugog's elected leaders decided to limit the number of billboard permits to 24 -- allowing only eight signs each in Wards 1, 3 and 4. That regulation was repealed by Scugog a few months later.
In 2008, six permits were issued, but they all expired at the end of 2011. Under Scugog's bylaws, billboards are only allowed to be erected alongside regional and provincial roadways.
"There have been several illegal billboards go up since 2008," said Chris Goode, another bylaw officer. "Some we caught, some we missed."
Now, councillors were told, Scugog's bylaw department is attempting to tackle the problem, but is unsure where to start.
In an attempt to gain back some control over the signs, Scugog's bylaw officials have suggested that perhaps the maximum number of permits be increased to 48 and that they could first be issued to those looking to renew an expired billboard licence, on a first-come-first-served basis or even through a lottery system.
"It's likely some have just forgotten that they need to renew," said Mr. Goode. "Maybe we'll start with them."
It was also noted Scugog needs to enforce or enhance its regulations regarding the minimum distance needed between each billboard sign. In some areas of the township, along the stretch of Simcoe Street, just south of Port Perry, in particular, large clumps of billboard signs greet visitors as they enter town.
"It would help keep the clusters to a minimum," said Mr. Goode.
Scugog does receive complaints about its billboard signs -- most from people who are told they can't legally put up a sign, explained Mr. Honey.
"It seems people have gotten used to them," he added, referring to a lack of concern from the public.
The majority of the billboard signs have been erected over the last 12 months or so, noted Kim Coates, Scugog's clerk.
"They come in and ask for a permit, they're told no and they put them up anyway," she said.
Councillors also heard that most billboard owners are likely unaware their signs are illegal.
"Less than half are probably aware they're in contravention (of the bylaw)," said Mr. Goode, "but that's probably low-balling the number."
The bylaw department, added Mr. Goode, is continuing to inventory the illegal signs and has drawn up a notice that will be distributed once it's approved.
But serving notices won't likely result in many -- or any -- immediate changes, stressed Scugog Mayor Chuck Mercier.
"We've got 121 non-compliant signs," he said. "We're never going to wrestle this down without a plan."
Regional Councillor Bobbie Drew suggested that Scugog embark on "a major education program," pushing an education-before-penalties approach.
Ward 3 Councillor Jim Howard suggested Scugog hike its sign fees. Currently, the cost of a permit is $5 multiplied by the size of the sign's advertising area.
"It's supply and demand, you know. Are we underpriced?" he asked, suggesting the Township charge a fee of $1,000 a month for billboard permits.
John Hancock, Scugog's Ward 2 councillor, tossed out the idea that maybe the Township should grant licences for all 121 signs in 2013 and then advise permit holders that the number will be cut back significantly in 2014.
"It will give them a year to get online," he explained.
The bylaw department is also unsure about the legalities of removing signs on Scugog's behalf from private property.
"We're not sure how to approach that," said Mr. Honey.
Since the sign issue was brought up during an education and training session, councillors could discuss the matter but make no decisions.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Best Buy said Thursday that a key sales barometer fell during the holiday shopping season, stung partly by weakness in the U.S. and a highly promotional retail environment.
Its stock dropped almost 23 percent in pre-market trading.
Best Buy Co. said comparable store sales dipped 0.8 percent for the nine weeks ended Jan. 4. This was better than the 1.7 percent decline in the prior-year period.
The consumer electronics company defines comparable store sales as sales at stores, call centers and websites operating for at least 14 full months as well as revenue related to other comparable sales channels.
The metric fell 0.9 percent in the U.S. compared with flat results a year ago. Internationally, the figure climbed 0.1 percent versus a 10.3 percent drop in the prior-year period.

was not sure where to put this... but i think it would be cool if in a custom game you could change some stuff like starting gold, ban champs or minion stats Ect...
of course changing these would mean no IP for that game.
has any one been thinking the same???
That would be a little complicated, and unfair to the other team if you could start out w/ 1000000 gold for example.
Junior Member
I have, I think that would make custom games a bit more interesting as well as fun. Some times i just want to mess around with my friends with made up rules and I think this would help out alot
yea, i mean no one plays cutoms for the accual 5v5, i play them with my friends

posted Feb 10 2013 11:18PM
The last designer line at Target was kind of a big flop, but the new one seems promising. I will not pretend to know who Prabal Gurung is...wikipedia states he just launched his first collection in 2010. You will either love or hate the clothes, but the shoes are where it is at. Good news...all the shoes are under $40!

In Praise of the Small Thanksgiving
I used to wish for more guests at my holiday dinner. Now I know better.
Elizabeth Weingarten spent her childhood envying large Thanksgiving gatherings. But when her small, intimate family dinner became a larger gaggle, she changed her mind. Her 2011 essay on disovering the joy of a small Thanksgiving is reprinted below.
When I was a kid, I told strangers that I had a younger sister. (I'm an only child.) I also lied about my Thanksgiving.
I knew from holiday movies and the kids I met on the playground that Thanksgiving was supposed to be a massive and boisterous family affair. The week before the holiday, classmates with siblings or cousins too numerous to count would complain about family visiting from out of town. "I have to sleep on the couch!" they would say. Seven days out, they had already started to prepare the feast.
My Thanksgiving, meanwhile, required no such sacrifice or preparation: I'm not just the only child, but also the only grandchild. Our celebration never expanded past eight people. Over the years, death has thinned that number to about five.
I worried that my hair (voluminous and curly), my religion (Jewish), and the contents of my lunchbox (deviled eggs) already branded me as a weirdo. I was sure my intimate Thanksgiving would, too. Yes, my small family loved me with the strength of 10 large ones, but I often felt lonely without siblings or first cousins nearby. A bustling Thanksgiving—and a big family—was what I saw on TV and heard about from friends. I wanted it more than anything. If the other kids knew my family only needed three Thanksgiving pies—and couldn't even finish those—I was sure I'd be pitied. Or shunned.
So I embellished. I recall telling classmates that we were expecting about 20 people. My mom began setting the table two weeks ago, I would say. Of course we're renting tables and chairs. My dad could barely lift the massive turkey, which feeds at least 20. I probably can't hang out Tuesday night, either, because I'll be too busy mashing potatoes and peeling apples.
As I grew older, I came clean about the modest size of our gathering. But I still couldn't shake the feeling that the smallness of my celebration somehow diminished it.
That changed when I was a junior in college. My great uncle, who wasn't one of our normal Thanksgiving guests, invited my immediate and extended family to Thanksgiving dinner at a fancy Chicago hotel. My mom didn't feel like cooking that year, and my aunt wanted to test the hotel's mashed potatoes. We accepted the invitation. For the first time, I would get my big Thanksgiving. Thirty people would attend.
I discovered the first downside before we made it to dinner: I had to dress up (ugh). My black dress and suede high heels made me yearn for the fleece-lined brown slippers I usually wore. I spent the first hour nursing a Diet Coke, noshing on appetizers, and grasping for small talk with second cousins I rarely saw. "How's school?" they would ask. "Got an internship for the summer yet? What will you do when you graduate?"
I ricocheted among family members. The interrogations seemed endless. There were never any banal questions at previous Thanksgivings because everyone there already knew the answers. This big dinner felt like a performance. I wished I were perched on a couch in my living room with my grandma, sipping the sparkling cider my aunt brought each year as an alcohol substitute for the under-21 crowd (which consisted entirely of me).
Finally, we approached the buffet. In addition to traditional fare such as turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce, there was smoked salmon and caviar, sushi, and at least 15 different cheeses. None of it was any good: The turkey was dry and rubbery. The mashed potatoes were tepid. (They weren't part of the buffet but had to be ordered separately. My aunt was indignant.) Worst of all, I couldn't eat my favorite dessert, apple pie, because it had nuts and I'm allergic to them.
At the smaller Thanksgivings at my house, the selection was less extensive but carefully tailored to our quirky palates. I made garlic mashed potatoes (extra garlic for my aunt) and apple pie (less sugar for my mom). My aunt brought her stuffing (which she always worries is too moist). My mom contributed the turkey (which she always worries is too dry), a vegetable, and the sour cranberry sauce. My grandma brings a tart cherry pie for my father. There were always plenty of leftovers.
There were no leftovers at the hotel. We dined at several large tables in a cavernous banquet hall. I squeezed between the second cousins at the kids table, waving to my parents a few tables over. I missed setting our small dining room table with the tiny seasonal gourds my mom keeps in a drawer in the basement. I missed pulling the homemade apple pie from our oven. I missed lounging in the living room as the aroma of Thanksgiving drifted through our little home.
The following year, we had Thanksgiving at our house again. My grandpa had died the previous spring, so the group was even smaller. But now I knew that was OK—better than OK, even. I was thankful that I had finally figured that out.

A stern Pittsburgh police detective and boxing instructor Jack Mook became very curious after two students didn't show up for his boxing class. Instead of just cancelling and not worrying, he looks into why they didn't show up.
Jack searched for the boys, who were part of a foster home. When he went to see them he realized how bad these two really had it. It was a very abusive home and somewhere no one would ever want to live. The detective took matters into his own hands and did something compassionate and unexpected.
The man took these children out of the foster home and placed them in a new home ... his own. As the days passed, he realized he enjoys their company so much he wanted them to live with them. So Jack decided to do something incredible and adopted the two boys! more >>

Doctors are calling this baby a MIRACLE. While Mrs. Wolman was pregnant with her son Renner, she was told he had a very low chance of surviving after birth. But this mother wouldn't give up on her baby boy.
Renner was diagnosed with Down Syndrome and Hydrops which caused his body to swell up with fluid. Doctors informed the woman that she will most likely have a stillborn baby. But, she never gave up on her baby and sang to him every night. At 35 weeks, Renner was born and took his first gasp of air. The two parents were in tears of joy!
After birth, Renner ran into many medical problems. He sent his parents on an emotional roller coaster. His kidneys failed and he was put on a ventilator. Every challenge he gave the doctors he prevailed. Mrs. Wolman decided to rock the baby when it was close to death. It worked and Renner continued to fight. more >>
On one side of 34-year-old Anthony Dever's stage production company are clients like Guns N' Roses, Alice in Chains, and Dixie Chicks. On the other side of the company, named DPS Inc, are renowned Christian worship music teams such as Jesus Culture and Hillsong.
Dever, a devout Christian, has no problem explaining that his company serves two worlds.
"I call it a 50-50 split. We have our regular company, which is our base company, DPS Inc, and we also have our DPS House of Worship part," Dever told The Christian Post on the eve of providing the staging for a Hillsong event this week in Los Angeles that includes filming for the worship music giant's upcoming movie. more >>
A very excited toddler dressed up in a Minion from the famous film "Despicable Me" does something extremely adorable. You will definitely watch it more than once and laugh for hours.
It seems this little boy is having trouble walking and balancing himself in his Halloween costume. So eventually he falls over, though he isn't hurt. But, says something extremely funny that everyone who watches will remember. Not even his mother in the other room can hold her laugh in.
The family sent this video to "America's Funniest Home Videos" and it was a hit! His Minion costume will get him lots of candy for Halloween! more >>
On a very windy day in Melbourne, Australia a woman named Sue Drummond was out walking her Maltese-Shih Tzu near the water. The speedy winds reached up to 60 mph and made it very dangerous condition for this little puppy.
The little puppy, Bibi, was forced into the water by these furious winds. Helpless and trying to doggy paddle back to shore, Sue feared the worst for her dog. But, something incredible happened next that she will never forget. A brave young man, Raden Soemawinata, who saw what happened immediately jumped into the water hoping to save this puppy. Within minutes he was able to pull this dog out of the water and save his life, while risking his own.
Raden was out that day dumping his grandmother's ashes into the water and happened to do something heroic and incredible along with it. more >>

On Wednesday, Facebook released data on its performance in the first quarter of 2014, and the results were very impressive. The social network has succeeded in monetizing its enormous audience, having generated $642 million in profit on $2.5 billion in sales. The expectation is that Facebook profits will amount to 25 cents per share, quite a bit more than the 9 cents per share it generated last year.
McDonald's, a much larger and older company, reported $6.7 billion in revenue in the first quarter, slightly higher than its revenue from last quarter. Yet its net income fell to $1.2 billion and its profits per share to $1.21, down from $1.26 last quarter. Analysts attribute McDonald's lackluster performance to a modest decline in U.S. comparable store sales.
I mention Facebook and McDonald's not just because they are both iconic American brands, but because they represent the contrasting poles of American business. Though both Facebook and McDonald's are innovative firms operating in a competitive landscape, Facebook is a social media company that lives almost entirely in the cloud. McDonald's, meanwhile, is the quintessential quick-service restaurant, which, like Wal-Mart, depends on an extensive, expensive and labor-intensive logistical apparatus to meet the needs of its franchises.
This difference helps account for the fact that Facebook had a 102.27 price to earnings ratio in 2013 while McDonald's had a 17.99 price to earnings ratio that same year. It's much harder for a brick-and-mortar company like McDonald's to grow than its code-driven counterpart.
Yet the contrast between Facebook and McDonald's that interests me most is the difference in how each approaches human capital investment. Facebook is a high-wage employer. Its workers pay relatively high taxes and get relatively little in benefits. You might think of them as net contributors to America's public coffers.

Dr Haass, who chaired unsuccessful all-party talks in NI last year, said the region could slip back to the levels of violence seen during the Troubles if political progress isn't made.
Speaking in Washington on Thursday, Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness said the comments had not been helpful.
Mr Robinson, DUP leader, said: "I think that he needs to perhaps use more caution when he indicates there could be a further outbreak of violence.
"That isn't helpful and I think we all know what the repercussions of that can be."
Martin McGuinness, of Sinn Féin, said: "Our responsibility as politicians is to stand together against all of those who would wish to plunge us back to the past. I think we have been very successful in doing that over the course of the last number of years.
"In the last 18 months we faced particular challenges with violence on the streets and police men and women being injured, but I don't have any sense whatsoever that any sizable section of our community would support any group who would try and plunge us back to the past."
Dr Haass was left disappointed when months of negotiations failed to result in an agreement on how to deal with controversial and divisive issues like flags, parades and the past.
He told the US Congress: "Absent political progress, the passage of time will only create an environment in which social division intensifies, violence increases, investment is scared off, alienation grows, and the best and brightest leave to make their futures elsewhere."
Mr Robinson and Mr McGuinness have been in the US on a business mission this week.

Jonathan Singleton | 1B, Astros | Born: 9/18/1991
Jonathan Singleton tested positive for using marijuana. He was busted for that twice, actually, and the after the second offense, baseball suspended him for the first 50 games of the 2013 regular season. Now, I could probably spend the rest of this post writing about how idiotic it seems to slap such a lengthy suspension on a 21-year-old prospect for puffing a few doobs — after all, this is the same sport that hardly cares to notice when year after year ballplayers are arrested for driving while drunk. The crime/punishment standards in these cases seem a tad ridiculous, but what do I know? Anyway, before news of his suspension, Singleton was being tabbed as a 2013 impact arrival. He'd spent all of 2012 at Double-A Corpus Christi, posting a full-season line at .284/.396/.497 with 52 XBH (21 HR). He was all set to begin the year at Triple-A, on track for arrival in Houston sometime in the mid-to-late stages of the regular season.Please, blog, may I have some more?

TripAdvisor Reviews Residence Matteini Rimini
Travel Blogs from Rimini
Day 5: Backside of the Mountain
... 251 3 hrs, 8 kms The back side of San Marino is quite different from different from the front side. The front side is quite urbanized with town after town leading to the seemingly unconquerable cliff. The backside is more laid back rolling hills--even the slope leading to mountaintop capital doesn't look so difficult to climb, sort of detracting from the theory that San Marino maintained its independence because it was impossible to conquer. ...
Day 4: The Castle
... 20, 2009 Day 256: 2 hours, 3.2 kms I continue on down the main highway a little bit. I'm the only pedestrian walking down it and it seems like there's a police car going by every few minutes. Then I realize… it's probably the same car! It must be a rather monotonous job, being a San Marino cop and driving back and forth across the country every 10 minutes! I'm sure they're wondering what the hell this guy is doing ...
Day 3: Rimini to San Marino
... on a large scale--it just has lots of small, specialized niche market industries--like ceramics.
It seems that a diverse economy is the key here--when you have such a small country you don't want to be dependant on one industry that could collapse--and then your fragile little country will be in ruins. San Marino, as small as it is, has a budge surplus.
I would imagine that in such a small country, leaders are held more accountable. I mean, if your the president or ...
Day 2: Rimini
0521 The Many Faces of Rimini (Ita 046, 09B -146) Rimini, September 19, 2009 Day 255: 5 hours, 14.7—total: 25.1 kms I'm looking forward to Rimini, if for no other reason than that it looks like there's a 13 Euro hostel here… That's well within my budget-- in fact, I could actually stay here a while if I wanted to. And that's a good feeling. After 50 days of feeling that I just have to keep moving all the time, Rimini might end up ...
Day 1: Crossing the Rubicon
... the street, with furtive glances from side to side with an cardboard with cheap imitation sunglasses attached. Always on the run, hoping to make a few euros and not have his illegal wares confiscated by the police. Two men came to Italy seeking a better life. Two very different experiences. I pass a square where a band is playing and locals young and old are doing a lively dance with a sort of polka style band playing. The couples spin in circles ...

DANVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden says it's up to Afghanistan to take responsibility for its own security.
Republican rival Paul Ryan said he doesn't want the United States to lose the gains achieved in its decade-long war there following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Both Biden and Ryan conveyed at Thursday's vice presidential debate that it's time to wind down U.S. involvement. Ryan said he agrees with President Barack Obama in transitioning out of the country by 2014, but said the White House should not announce a deadline for withdrawal and expose weakness.
Both men were responding to a question about why American troops shouldn't just leave Afghanistan immediately.

Hello, I love math and transfer that to my students. My present position teaches it all. Patience and attention to detail, by determining what concept(s) the student needs to learn and review, is my approach to helping them get through their hurdles in the quickest way. My belief is to help them understand math and how it relates to the world. It's not just numbers; this helps them to remember and get interested in it. It's important to remove the fear of math to help them understand that they can do it.
I have a BS degree in Electrical Engineering, with four years' experience in research and development. Presently, I have an Adult Ed credential to teach math. My classroom experience is with K-12 students to adults. They are K-12 students who need high school credits for Algebra and Geometry or need to pass the CASHEE, and adults who want to get their GED. My successes include 9th grade students on the fast track to increase their math knowledge, students passing the GED, students receiving credit for Geometry and Algebra to obtain their high school diploma, and students passing the CASHEE. I love math and love teaching math.
I have worked with K-12 students for since 2000, and have enjoyed it very much. The subjects include math to science.
Before going back to college I took a study skills class at UCSD; went on to finish my Electrical Engineering degree and still use the skills I learned to this day.

Gene Yang is one of my heroes. Read this, y'all.
Read This: Gene Luen Yang's rousing comics speech at the 2014 National Book Festival gala
From the Washington Post, article here.
GENE LUEN YANG, Library of Congress, Jefferson Building:
Good evening. Thank you, Library of Congress and National Book Festival, for inviting me to share the stage with such esteemed authors, and to speak with all of you. I am deeply grateful for this honor.
I'm a comic-book guy, so tonight I'd like to talk about another comic book guy. Dwayne McDuffie was one of my favorite writers. When I was growing up, he was one of the few African-Americans working in American comics. Dwayne worked primarily within the superhero genre. He got his start at Marvel Comics but eventually worked for almost every comic book publisher out there. He even branched out into television and wrote for popular cartoon series like "Justice League" and "Ben 10."
Dwayne McDuffie is no longer with us, unfortunately. He passed away in 2011, at the age of 49. But within comics, his influence is still deeply felt.
I was lucky enough to have met him once. About a year before his death, we were on a panel together at Comic-Con. I had the opportunity to shake his hand and tell him how much his work meant to me.
In a column Dwayne wrote in 1999, he talked about his love of the Black Panther, a Marvel Comics character. The Black Panther's secret alias is T'Challa, the king of the fictional African nation of Wakanda. He has super senses, super strength, and super agility. He's an Avenger, though he hasn't yet made it into the movies.
The Black Panther wasn't created by African American cartoonists. He was created in July of 1966 by two Jewish Americans, Stan Lee (who was born Stanley Lieber) and Jack Kirby (who was born Jacob Kurtzberg).
By modern standards, the Black Panther is not a flawless example of a black superhero. In their first draft of the character, Lee and Kirby called him "the Coal Tiger" and gave him a goofy yellow and black costume. Even in his final form, his superhero alias includes the word "Black." This is true of many early African and African American superheroes, as if what makes them remarkable is neither their superpowers nor their heroism, but their ethnicity. Most problematic, though, was that Marvel made their most prominent black superhero the star of a series called Jungle Action.
All of these flaws were lost on Dwayne McDuffie when he first encountered the Black Panther in 1973, at the age of 11. What struck him was the character's commanding sense of dignity. The Black Panther wasn't anyone's sidekick. He wasn't an angry thug. He wasn't a victim. He was his own hero, his own man. As Dwayne describes it, "In the space of 15 pages, black people moved from invisible to inevitable."
Dwayne's love of the Black Panther eventually blossomed into a love of comics in general. Dwayne was a smart guy with a lot of options in life. He'd earned a master's degree in physics. But he chose to write comics as his career. I would argue that without the Black Panther, this flawed black character created by a writer and an artist who were not black, there would be no Dwayne McDuffie the comic book writer.
Dwayne wasn't just a writer — he was also a businessman. In the early '90s, he teamed with a group of writers and artists to found Milestone Media, the most prominent minority-owned comic book company that has ever existed. The Milestone universe have since been folded into DC Comics, so these days characters like Static Shock and Icon – characters Dwayne co-created – fight crime alongside Superman and Batman.
In the early '90s, I was finishing up my adolescence. I visited my local comic-book store on a weekly basis, and one week I found a book on the stands called Xombi, published by Milestone Media. Xombi is a scientist who became a superhero after he was injected with nanotechnology. He allied himself with a secret order of superpowered nuns. One sister was known as Nun of the Above, another Nun the Less. Together, they protected the world from all kinds of supernatural threats.
Xombi was inventive and fun, but he stood out to me because he was an Asian American male carrying in his own monthly title. And even more notable – he didn't know Kung Fu. Xombi wasn't created by Asian Americans – his writer was white and his artist black – but he did make Asian Americans a little less invisible.
We in the book community are in the middle of a sustained conversation about diversity. We talk about our need for diverse books with diverse characters written by diverse writers. I wholeheartedly agree.
But I have noticed an undercurrent of fear in many of our discussions. We're afraid of writing characters different from ourselves because we're afraid of getting it wrong. We're afraid of what the Internet might say.
This fear can be a good thing if it drives us to do our homework, to be meticulous in our cultural research. But this fear crosses the line when we become so intimidated that we quietly make choices against stepping out of our own identities.
After all, our job as writers is to step out of ourselves, and to encourage our readers to do the same.
I told you the story of Dwayne McDuffie to encourage all of us to be generous with ourselves and with one another. The Black Panther, despite his flaws, was able to inspire a young African American reader to become a writer.
We have to allow ourselves the freedom to make mistakes, including cultural mistakes, in our first drafts. I believe it's okay to get cultural details wrong in your first draft. It's okay if stereotypes emerge. It just means that your experience is limited, that you're human.
Just make sure you iron them out before the final draft. Make sure you do your homework. Make sure your early readers include people who are a part of the culture you're writing about. Make sure your editor has the insider knowledge to help you out. If they don't, consider hiring a freelance editor who does.
Also, it's okay if stereotypes emerge in the first drafts of your colleagues. Correct them – definitely correct them – but do so in a spirit of generosity. Remember how soul-wrenching the act of writing is, how much courage it took for that writer to put words down on a page.
And let's say you do your best. You put in all the effort you can. But then when your book comes out, the Internet gets angry. You slowly realize that, for once, the Internet might be right. You made a cultural misstep. If this happens, take comfort in the fact that even flawed characters can inspire. Apologize if necessary, resolve do better, and move on.
Let your fear drive you to do your homework. But no matter what, don't ever let your fear stop you.
Gene is the best dude.

Firstly, I'm not one for advertisements; in fact, I avoid them as much as possible. However, after viewing this overseas commercial regarding cheese, I can't help but wonder why ad agencies on this side of the globe haven't been as clever, if they had I would have no reason to flip channels during commercials. Using a Panda to sell cheese taps into our emotions, while surprising us with pure hilarious epicness. You have to watch to see what I mean.

If you haven't already noticed Owls are taking over the Internet, they have somehow become the new bacon or cats. This latest trend has me screaming "YAY", cause owls are amazing creatures that have awesome expressions which can play tricks on the eye, like this lil' fellow who looks like Gandalf from Lord of the Rings.
This is what I would assume would happen if an Ewok and an Owl mated. I think the artist did too.

It is pretty awesome when you can catch nature in its pure glory, much like this video does. It happened in Indonesia, when a Black Marble Jawfish (a specific fish that mimics the colors of other fish species for protection) comes across a Mimic Octopus. As you will see its colors are different until it comes in contact with the Octopus and they mimic each other. This is rather unusual to capture since the Jawfish usually spends most of its life buried in sand, so this epic video piece clearly shows that even in nature, even when you think no one is watching, owning still happens, perhaps it originated long before the Internet coined the term, these two sea creatures sure make you wonder.
