Prince William Gossip
Prince William gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Smutty Roundup: Ryan Phillippe TV, Will in Japan, and Mandy & Minka
FameFlynet, Jose Perez/ Splash
Ryan Phillippe is coming to TV after all. You'll recall, he was originally supposed to be in Golden Boy for CBS a couple of years ago. Then he dropped out and Theo James stepped in. The film opportunities however haven't been all that great. So now it's ABC's Secrets & Lies. Full Story
Prince Charles sold out his sons?
Chris Jackson/ Getty Images
The BBC aired a super gossipy documentary yesterday called Reinventing The Royals amid reports that the royal family pushed to delay the original air date after learning that the film alleges that Prince Charles had his advisors exploit his sons to boost his popularity and reputation after Diana died. Full Story
Santa Harry

Prince Hot Harry was seen arriving at Buckingham Palace for the Queen's Christmas lunch yesterday. Prince William and Catherine too. It was a royal convoy. On December 5 however Harry was in Lesotho for his foundation Sentebale. The pictures have just been released. And they've been selected by Harry himself…with captions. Full Story
Big G for the holidays
The Cambridges decided to reward everyone for not papping Big G by releasing new photos of him in time for the holidays. Is that the royal version of a Christmas card? These three photos were taken in November at Kensington Palace. My favourite, of course, is the first one, where he's reaching his fat hand out, probably because he wants to squeeze the life out of a living thing, any living thing. Full Story
UNboring Princess side-eye and J Crew

Like I said earlier, this is the most UNboring Princess Catherine's been in a long, long time on this trip to New York. Today, after her visit to the 9/11 memorial (click here for a refresher), she attended the Creativity is GREAT reception with a lot of celebrities and fashion people. Full Story
Princess in pink

The Cambridges visited the 9/11 memorial today in New York. They lay flowers in memory of the victims. There's been some talk about this colour choice. Pink. Does pink have significance at the memorial? Like do you think she would have been encouraged to wear the colour? Otherwise, I mean the safest choice would have been black…right? Grey? Navy? Brown? With those colours, there'd be no discussion about it whatsoever. Full Story
Second spotlight

Normally when Beyonce goes to the Nets game, and she's sitting courtside, she's the main attraction. Last night in Brooklyn, because the Cambridges were there, Beyonce was the second spotlight. It's not a position she's used to. But she certainly dressed for it. No jeans, skirt below the knee, high collar, prim hair. Full Story
Courtside Kings & Queens

Is that all it takes? Asking out loud? I wrote yesterday about all the speculation that Prince William and Catherine would likely be in a luxury box at Barclays for the Brooklyn Nets game but if they're there because the NBA is making a big ass donation and they're publicising whatever it is that they're publicising, what's the point of sh-tty photos from a luxury box? Courtside, baby. Full Story
Princess in New York
FameFlynet, Neilson Barnard/ Getty Images
Prince William and Princess Catherine arrived in New York last night. Today he's in Washington and here she is, this afternoon, with New York's first lady Chirlane McCray to tour the Harlem Child Development Centre. You know how boring Kate can be? Chirlane is the exact opposite. Now this is a fascinating life. Full Story
Is this Big G's Christmas card?
Danny Martindale/ Ian Gavan/ Getty Images
Not officially. But it could totally be an option. A new family portrait of the Cambridges is now online that hasn't been widely circulated until now. The picture was taken in March and was distributed as a thank you card on their Australia and New Zealand tour. Big G was 10 months old at the time. Full Story
The Cambridges and the Carters?
The Palace finally confirmed on Friday that the Cambridges William and Catherine will visit New York from December 7 – 9. The Prince will also be in DC for a meeting while Kate will tour a child development centre and an inner city youth program. They'll also attend at a gala at the MET to commemorate the 600th anniversary of St Andrews, their alma mater. Full Story
The Cambridges and 1D
Samir Hussein/ Danny Martindale/ Getty, Keystone
Prince William and Catherine were at the Royal Variety Performance at the London Palladium tonight. And One Direction was there. And they all met and shook hands. I'm delighted at Harry Styles's wardrobe choice. An animal print leather jacket is exactly what a pop star should be wearing when they meet the future king of England. Full Story
The Cambridges' working weekend
Chris Jackson /Anwar Hussein /Samir Hussein /Getty Images, Max Mumby /Indigo
We'll get back to the busy weekend in Hollywood in a minute. Right now, let's shift focus over to the royal family. It was a busy weekend for them too. William and Catherine Cambridge were visited the Pembroke Refinery together on Saturday where Kate showed off her growing bump. At least that's what they're saying. Full Story
Return of the Princess
Wenn, Carl Court/ WPA Pool/ Getty
As announced yesterday, Catherine Cambridge returned to public duty today in London as she joined Prince William for the President of Singapore's state visit. She wore grey, Alexander McQueen. And eyeliner. We now know that it's still pretty early in her pregnancy with Clarence House's announcement that the baby is due in April. Full Story

Hi. I am looking at buying this multiprocess welder:
I will be using it mostly for fabrication. Is there any cons about getting a multiprocess welder instead of buying the mig and tig separte? I think this is a good price for the setup, what do you think? But then again I want to be able to tig aluminum... If I bought the tig and mig separtly I think I'd end up spending an extra 1k. Any help or comments would be great! Thanks, Steve.

This is an interesting Rig. How do you think it would be for the home hobbyist? It says input power is 1 or 3 phase. I only have 1 phase 220v 30Amp available at home. Is that enough to run this rig?

text: MAKING A NAME FOR THEMSELVES. September 29, 2012 In the mid eighties, Jay Helser was installing draperies independently for design firms and drapery workrooms in the Phoenix, Arizona area. After nine years, he and brother Mark discovered how their unique talents would fit together like puzzle pieces to create the perfect drapery hardware business. The two Helser brothers combined their expertise to manufacture custom drapery hardware the "Helser Way". Competitive simple pricing, original custom designs, precision metal working. All this, combined with over-the-top customer service and a six point check and balance system to ensure clients get exactly what they order each and every time, has skyrocketed the Helser brother's into the stratosphere of the drapery universe. The Artigiani Wrought Iron collection is world class drapery hardware. Its quality and craftsmanship jumps right out at you when you first behold this gorgeous wrought iron collection. Helser Brothers takes great pride in everything they do you can feel confident that the items you are ordering are of the highest quality and to specifications. Meanwhile, Helser Brothers Artefice is an Iron lovers dream. By using minimalist profiles of contemporary designs, the true beauty of raw iron is revealed. Its inherent beauty is in the fact that each piece will have its own distinct markings. Iron run-off and heat marks are left in their natural state giving this collection of drapery hardware an exclusively unique appearance and personality. Artefice pieces are meticulously hand forged by Helser Brothers' blacksmiths at their facility in Chandler Arizona. If you truly appreciate Iron Drapery Hardware you won't find a more attractive collection than the Artefice collection by Helser Brothers Drapery. Helser Brothers have made a name in the drapery industry, not just because of the excitement and buzz of being young, fresh and innovative but because their quality customer service and craftsmanship are second to none. Continental Window Fashions and Helser Brothers Drapery, a match made in heaven.

Our Miami Dolphins are well represented in the NY area by a club called Dolfans NYC. They have had many members, and other Dolphin fans who are impacted by Hurricane Sandy and the club is trying to raise money to help. Some of had home burnt to the ground and still have no where to go. I have personally donated $100, and they are looking to raise $1,000. I say we blow the roof off that campaign and show them how strong Dolphins Nation really is!!! I want to raise $1,000 from this site alone!! So when you donate in the comments mention you came from here. That way I can track it. Many of us live in coastal areas and it could have happened to any of us who do. SO PLEASE GIVE! These people need our help.
For ANYONE who donates $5 or more, I will give free VIP membership until the end of the year season. After you donate PM me and I will give you access. Also you will see you can get some cool Dolphins items for donating too. I know these people and they are decent honest group of people. They need us.

Thanks and God Bless the people who are suffering.

There are green towers and then there are green towers. Subtitled "Rethinking Towers In The Park," the Seoul Commune 2026 project by Mass Studies is just sheer genius. Aside from its futuristic green aesthetic, the concept is an investigation into the viability of future sustainable community structures in dense metropolitan areas. The organically-shaped towers take the classic architectural idea of towers in the park, and literally turn the park into the towers themselves, offering a cheeky yet profoundly sustainable and forward-thinking solution to community development.
The towers' internal functions are separated into public, private, and commercial, offering purely-private rooms called "cells" and communal spaces for public activity. Members of the commune may range from permanent residents to nomadic short-term lodgers. "Bulb" areas serve as commercial spaces including offices, public services, and welfare/medical facilities.
The skeleton of the towers is constructed using different types of glass, from photovoltaic glass to recessed glass panels that create shaded balconies. Atop the glass is a geotextile that allows for the growth of vines and other flora that provide additional cooling and environmental advantages to the building and surrounding site.
The towers' organic forms come from a system of building components that range from dome shapes to conical and cylindrical modules. Each lends itself to specific functions, and when stacked, provide a variety of tower shapes that are each different yet geometrically related.
The project by the Korea-based firm came as a response to Korea's rapid technological and architectural development, which the designers describe as "anarchical." The Seoul 2026 proposal offers a fully-functional community development that is efficient, high-tech, and immensely sustainable.
Visit Mass Studies' website to view a full slideshow of the project.

i think you critics need to step out of your conformative cacoons and open up to our ever changing world. Ideas like this have the ability to brighten up millions of peoples lives, giving them the opportunity to be part something new, vibrant and not just confined to those squares you all design! Thumbs up to the folk who took the courage to break away from the norm and come up with something exciting….
August 21, 2007 at 12:28 am
looks pretty gross! I think they might have to rethink the puke green approach…
April 25, 2007 at 6:33 am
This gives me hope, seeing this project helps me get out of bed and face another day in this dying earth existence. I cant wait until we leave the linear dead world of the box and start building and thinking with the patterns of natural geometry (hex and sphere). I look forward to designing furniture for these kinds of spaces…
March 13, 2007 at 1:00 pm
not able to appreciate this yet…
March 3, 2007 at 5:49 pm
wuw! it s great! wud u mind for telling me more bout it? i need d information for my collage.
February 23, 2007 at 5:30 pm
…that looks pretty awful.
February 23, 2007 at 2:50 pm
I *love* the way the towers look like celadon vases with lattice cutouts. A gorgeous way to restore some of "old world" neighborhood dynamics – creating pockets of community where kids can run to the corner market and pass by familiar faces of people chatting at the fruit stand or lingering in front of a barber shop, or yoga class, or whatever…from what I can tell, these towers don't accommodate people driving through them. Seoul is certainly running out of space horizontally for these kinds of neighborhoods so go vertical and why not go green and gorgeous while you're at it?
February 22, 2007 at 2:22 pm
Why try them on a small scale? You surely lose most of the advantages provided by these buildings. I'm not entirely sure one way or another about these sorts of things but hey, if you're going to build skyscrapers you should be building them green… Thing is though, is this actually going to be built? There's been a million and one "proposals" with most never built – Le Corbusier "proposed" to bulldoze Paris and start afresh… Not that it really matters, even just as a theoretical idea it's very interesting!
February 21, 2007 at 10:07 pm
This is a great idea… from the looks of it, this could be tried on a much smaller scale easily — like on the scale of a couple of sheds in the back yard and then a small single family home.
The final design does not have to look exactly like the photos, but simply embody the principles they inspire.
February 21, 2007 at 3:13 pm
That's really impressive, but it looks a bit pie in the sky. I would love to see more renderings of the interior spaces. I think that's what's making me disbelieve that this is in any way feasible.
February 21, 2007 at 12:10 pm
Wow. Faaaar out! I'd love to see this when it's built. (I also I think those yoga gals need glass and/or railings at the building's edges so they don't downward dog onto the concrete some 20 floors down.)

'It's All Politics': NPR's Weekly News Roundup

Fri June 1, 2012
It's All Politics, May 31, 2012
By editor
Mitt Romney gets enough delegates, in some counts, to go over the top in his bid for the GOP nomination. But his celebration gets distracted by more Donald Trump "birtherism." Plus, the Texas GOP goes into overtime to find a Senate nominee, Rep. Thad McCotter plans a write-in campaign in Michigan in hopes of keeping his own job, and a look ahead to the Wisconsin recall.
NPR's Ken Rudin and Ron Elving have the latest political news in this week's roundup.

Beginning with the End in Mind
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.

In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
This week's news features volcanoes, skeletons, and stars, as well as a thought-provoking new book from InterVarsity press.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
American thinking about religion and science before the Civil War was substantially informed by the powerful "concordist" metaphor of God as the "author" of two "books," nature and Scripture, which ultimately must agree.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
We find no compelling evidence that the earth's geological features can be explained by a global Flood. Here we consider three lines of evidence: global salt deposits, the order of deposition of sediment layers in the Grand Canyon, and the sequence of fossils in geological strata.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
In recent decades, scientists have discovered more about the beginnings of humanity. The fossil record shows a gradual transition over 5 million years ago from chimpanzee-size creatures to hominids with larger brains who walked on two legs. Later hominids used fire and stone tools and had brains as large as modern humans. Fossils of homo sapiens in east Africa date back nearly 200,000 years. Humans developed hearths for fire, stone points for spears and arrows, and cave paintings by 30,000 years ago. By 10,000 years ago, humans had spread throughout the globe. Genetic studies support the same picture. Humans share more DNA with chimpanzees than with any other animal, suggesting that humans and chimps share a relatively recent common ancestor. Also, the same defective genes appear in both humans and chimps, at the same locations in the genome—an observation difficult to explain except by common ancestry. Genetics also tells us that the human population today descended from more than two people. Evolution happens not to individuals but to populations, and the amount of genetic diversity in the gene pool today suggests that the human population was never smaller than several thousand individuals. Yet all humans, of all races, are descended from this group. Humanity is one family.
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
Baylor University Physicist Gerald Cleaver describes the changing state of our understanding of the cosmos and suggests ways that Christians can make theological sense of a theoretical Multiverse.
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.
If evolution is true, whales are related to the even-toed hoofed mammals, and there should be transitional fossil forms dating from about 45 to 50 million years ago.
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
Critics of evolution sometimes portray the theory as an untestable historical conjecture, depicting it as fundamentally different from experimental science in the lab. But the hunt for the earliest tetrapods was an effort to test a hypothesis that had generated a prediction.

This 26" 'mini-me' 4.5 lb. Short Chisel is forged to unseat conventional tip-ups from frozen holes and chip out everything aside from your partner's boot.
"Chisels are essential gear, whether it's first ice, last ice, or when testing pressure cracks and heaves on the Great Lakes. Catching fish isn't worth falling through, and Frabill's Ice Chisels are an inexpensive price to pay for peace of mind when I'm testing ice conditions. And as an admitted tip-up-a-holic, the Ice Chisels are primo for reopening frozen holes when I'm working strings and strings of holes, constantly relocating flats in extreme cold temperatures." -Captain Pat Kalmerton


text: I got the one two punch yesterday and received both my orders from the February sale! The tren had crashed because of this ridiculously cold weather we have been having so I emailed EZ to see the best way to bring it back to life. Threw it on the stove in a small pot filled 3/4 the way up the bottle and put it on low and kept it there for 12 minutes, shaking the bottles every few minutes per his recommendation. That was this morning and they are still looking perfect. I got to deal with both reps on 2 separate orders and the communication with both was top notch and received everything within the expected time frames. I am looking forward to trying everything out on my next cycle and may be using the test e to cruise for now. Waiting patiently until the 8th to add some Mast E jugs to round out my summer cutter! I'll try to post up some before and after pics for my all Olympus cycle coming up!

Jason Walker Band
Jason Walker Band
Six months is a long time in music, and music writer, author and musician Jason Walker knows that better than anyone. So why the hell did it take him five years to write, record and then release the dazzling follow-up to Ashes & Wine, the captivating, blurry Ceiling Sun Letters? It turns out he was living in a bleak house.
"It's been a process of breaking down everything that I'd accomplished musically and personally in the last decade," says Walker. "Things started to go a little haywire in 2005. I was diagnosed with panic and anxiety disorder, and I'd found a need to let some blood out." At a show at the Annandale, Walker took his commitment to the art to levels not seen since Iggy Pop took a steak knife to his chest. "I was playing the solo to our last song with a schooner glass and it seemed like the right time to lacerate my forehead with it."
Eight stitches and some incredulous live reviews of that infamous show later, Walker was attracting odd stares and conjecture about his sanity. "Our rhythm guitarist and harmony singer Worth Wagers went home to the USA and the last show we did with him was our last show. After that, I briefly went mad, was hospitalised with septicemia (blood poisoning) because of – shall we say – unsafe practices, I nearly drowned in the Newcastle flood, battled drug and alcohol problems… the usual nonsense."
While he managed to avoid rehab or psychiatric care this time around, Walker had nowhere to go to entertain his demons except to write about them and sing them out into the Garage Band program on his laptop. Several of the songs like 'Hearts Get Hard' came 'automatically' according to Walker. "I was singing some ideas into the computer and 'Hearts Get Hard' just… emerged, fully formed. There was no preconception whatsoever. In the past I'd imagined that songwriters who spoke of this sort of occurrence were yanking our chains, but now I understand what it means to be a conduit. It really did just drop out of my mouth, lyrics, melody and all."
"Ceiling Sun Letters is a drug album – there's no doubt about that. During the writing and recording of it, I was dominated by a fear of death and the nervous energy that followed my two near-death experiences… I lived on a diet of [anxiety drug] Xanax, anti-depressants, cigarettes, alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, the odd dragon-chasing session and bingeing on food. It's about trying to communicate the chaos that everyone experiences at various points in their lives, and trying to swim against the logical current to get the word out. I was not at all well during that period."
Walker's previous Laughing Outlaw releases mercilessly plundered the past. Ceiling Sun Letters is different. It's a reflection in a cracked mirror in a dark room, a hazy powerful rock album that recalls the New York Dolls, Grandaddy, Lou Reed, Wilco, the Triffids, Loose Fur and the White Album. From the all-in intro of the storming opener 'You Will Be Ashes', through the delicate mandolin splashes on 'Advice to Beginners', the psychic folk thunderstorm of 'Free to Go' or the frustrating waltz-time rocker 'Fight This' which spirals through a maddening key change and uses the little-known marxophone to unusual effect.
Walker's change of direction was aided by "the two people who are ultimately responsible for how this album sounds", Brian Crouch and Michael Carpenter. Crouch, who has played with Walker for more than ten years, produced and entirely played the album's stunning centrepiece 'Time Poor'. From the delicate piano to the 'strings' – which are in fact layers of guitars played pizzicato with the edge of a coin, the song builds to timpani-led crescendo that vanishes into the warm crackle of vinyl noise from Crouch's old stereo. "The auteur theory is a popular one with your average deluded songwriter but I'm a firm believer in giving the credit where it's due. Brian turned this album into a work of art. He's a hell of a producer and I hope he starts getting some work because of this record."
Producer Michael Carpenter was equally responsible for making the album as wildly eclectic and different as it is. "He's really got a gift for direction in the studio," says Walker. "I had to turn this album over to him because I was not in a fit state to direct the action myself. I had ideas overflowing at different times but then I would dry up out of fear and I was bloody grateful to Mick and Brian for transforming it and bringing it to its conclusion. It's no oversimplification to say it belongs to them as well."
With the imminent release of Ceiling Sun Letters, Walker is on his heels once more. "I have no idea what this album is going to do for me or anyone. But it's like the bastard son I kept in a box for 19 years. It's out and enjoying the sun on its face."

Although Hans Wegner designed the Wing Chair in 1960, it wasn't put into production until 2006. It made its international debut at the IMM Cologne furniture fair, where it received a classic innovation award for its timeless appeal and exquisite design. Widely known as the "chair-maker of chair-makers," Hans Wegner created more than 400 chairs in his lifetime.
The "wings" of the CH445 Wing Chair provide superior support for your upper back, neck and head, and the roomy seat allows you to sit in a variety of positions. Made in Denmark.

About The ManufacturerThe family-owned Carl Hansen & Son has been producing hand-made pieces since 1908. However, it was not until the late 1940s that the Danish furniture house, under the direction of Holger Hansen (the "Son"), joined forces with Hans Wegner and began a partnership that would help further not just the company but the entire Danish Modern design style. Wegner's unique, modern designs initially tested the company's production team as it had previously dedicated itself to more traditionally home-style pieces. Under Holger Hansen's guidance the partnership flourished; in the 1950s and 1960s the Carl Hansen Company and Hans Wegner both received international acclaim for their boundary-pushing work. One of the first pieces to emerge from this partnership was the Wishbone Chair, one of four chairs that Wegner designed specially for Carl Hansen in 1949. While the company faced difficulties during the second half of the 20th century, including Holger Hansen's sudden death in 1962, Carl Hansen & Son persevered and began the 21st century with a renewed focus, set on bringing Danish Modern furniture back to the center of the design world. Since 2001, when grandson Knud Erik Hansen assumed control of the company, Carl Hansen & Son has expanded in Denmark, continued to produce top-quality, hand-crafted furniture, gone on producing successful Wegner designs, and introduced new, previously unseen pieces from the legendary Danish designer.

DesignerHans Wegner
One of the prime influences in Danish Modern design during its formative years, Hans Wegner first began to design furniture after attending the Carpenters' Guild Furniture Exhibits in Copenhagen, Denmark. Shortly after completing his studies at what is now The Danish Design School, he was tasked by Arne Jacobsen with designing all the furniture of his Arhus City Hall. After working with Jacobsen for a short time, he began designing furniture for the Carl Hansen & Son furniture company in 1949. From that partnership came classics such as the Wishbone Chair, Elbow Chair, Shell Chair, and Wing Chair. Still as fresh now as they were then, these enduring pieces of modern furniture bear testimony to Wegner's craftsmanship and inspiration.
