Seriously, this guy is amazing with a tape measure. We may not want him as the guy to rebuild our entertainment room, but for birthdays and Bar Mitzvahs? He’s f-ing hired.

Merry Christmas

Susan Boyle recording Bond

(BANG) -Susan Boyle is being tipped to record the next James Bond theme song.
The Scottish star – who shot to fame earlier this year after finishing runner-up on UK reality TV contest ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ – is said to be thrilled at the prospect of being chosen for to lend her voice to the movie, which stars Daniel Craig and is due out in 2011.

Monty Norman, composer of the classic 007 theme music, thinks Susan would be a “great” choice.

He said: “They’ll think seriously because she’s got the right kind of sweeping voice”.

Some of the world’s biggest music stars have recorded theme songs to Bond films, including Bassey, Sir Paul McCartney, Madonna and Duran Duran.

The 48-year-old star has already shattered all chart records with her debut album ‘I Dreamed a Dream’.

Lee Pfeiffer co-author of ‘The Essential James Bond’ book, described Susan as “a throwback to those great days when the likes of Dame Shirley Bassey would be asked to sing”.

Mindblowing Ice Sculputes and the World’s Largest Father Christmas – 25th Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival: China (11 photos)
It’s like China’s version of Disneyland on Ice. These impressive ice sculptures are part of a display for the upcoming Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival. As well as the colorful life-sized ice buildings, which reflect traditional Chinese architecture, there is also a 160m (524ft) high Father Christmas sculpture, said by organizers to be the world’s largest. The Festival, established in 1985, is held annually from January 5 and lasts for over one month. An estimated 800,000 tourists, 90 percent of them Chinese, are expected to visit the ice festival, said Jia Yan, director of the local tourism bureau.
This is an awe inspiring event every year!

Haunted cemeteries

Like Waikumete Cemetery in New Zealand, the beautiful, yet eerie Brookwood Cemetery also had it’s own train, ferrying people to their final resting place. The trains ran from 1854 until 1945 and the service was begun as London started to run out of graves – Brookwood is just over 25 miles from the city. Sounds and crying have been heard many times from the tombs and mausoleums here as well as green and white mists floating around graves. Many visitors report feelings of anxiety, sadness and nausea around certain parts of the cemetery. Could this be the residual emotions of the long dead occupants hanging in the atmosphere? The path that the train track was on is still there and it’s said that if you walk it, you can often hear the sounds of women and babies crying. Occasionally, sounds of a train have also been heard. Strange reports of rituals, both ghostly and real, have been noted and it is definitely not a place to be after the sun goes down.

This Is The Mother

Picnic for eight: Octomom Nadya Suleman takes her babies on trip to park

She has made few public appearances with her huge brood. But earlier this week Nadya Suleman – otherwise known as Octomom – made a visit to the park with all eight of her babies. The children, born after their mother used a sperm donor, were pushed along in double strollers and then laid out on a blanket on the grass.

Handful: Nadya Suleman and her elder son Elijah struggle to feed the eight babies on a trip to the local park

Girls Nariah and Maliah were dressed in pink Minnie Mouse baby-gros while brothers Noah, Jonah, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Josiah and Macai wore green Winnie the Pooh outfits.

Miss Suleman, 33, took along her elder son Elijah, 8, for support and he helped out with his little brothers and sisters as they enjoyed a trip out near their home in La Habra , California .

Feeding the babies looked like a full-time job in itself. One of Octomom’s offspring ended up squashed against his mother’s lap as she battled to keep hold of her family.

However, Miss Suleman, who was casually dressed in a strappy vest top and brown trousers apepared surprisingly relaxed.

‘It looked as if she was coping pretty well all things considered,’ one onlooker said. ‘They’re obviously a huge handful.’

Antidepressants may alter personality

New research finds that antidepressants may alter personality, making those who suffer from depression more extroverted and less neurotic.
clipped from dulios.amplify.com

Medications frequently prescribed for depression may not lighten a person’s mood until they brighten his or her personality. A new study suggests that the antidepressant medication paroxetine, or Paxil, fights depression most effectively when it first modifies

high neuroticism and low extraversion,

two personality traits that predispose people to this mood disorder.

Patients who experienced especially pronounced personality change during four months of Paxil treatment displayed a particularly low depression relapse rate over the next year of treatment,

“This is more evidence than I’ve seen before that personality changes drive antidepressant responses, but it’s still a small study,” remarks psychiatrist Andrew Leuchter

For reasons that remain unclear, only about 1 in 3 depressed patients will experience remission when taking one of the SSRIs. When SSRIs work, patients become more outgoing and develop closer relationships with others, Leuchter notes.

The War on Stick Figures

TAUNTON – The first big problem with going to Taunton to chase down another “War on Christmas” tale is the 35-foot Santa rising up from the town square like the Paul Bunyan statue in “Fargo.”

St. Nick is dwarfed by choirs of fiberglass angels blowing horns atop two towering gift-wrapped Christmas presents.

A trio of jumbo-sized wise men perched on camels sit by a creche that backs up to a gargantuan Christmas tree music box guarded by a pair of toy soldiers.

All in all, Taunton Green – in a burg that calls itself “Christmas City” – looks like some miniature golf course hijacked by rabid Christmas elves.

Fact is, Christmas wasn’t under attack in Taunton yesterday. Turns out this was really a story about a war on stick figures.

This marks the second time in 18 months Taunton school teachers have been driven off the rails by stick figures.
