[SailBlogs] N.Z. The End -The Penguin Quest | Tashmoo: They said we could go to a beach down the road and "maybe" see Yellow Eye penguins, or we could buy tickets to see the Blue Penguins.

[Japers' Rink] Coach vs. Koci - Japers' Rink: In his last three full seasons of AHL play, he scored in double digits (his high-water mark came in a year in which Hershey won a championship). That doesn't sound like a lot, even for a fourth liner at that level, but he was a guy who played.

[BBC Sport: Jake Humphrey] BBC - BBC Sport: Jake Humphrey: Filling for Britain at storm time: If the beeb gets another interview with Eccleston, please don't let EJ do it! A trained journalist who is not afraid to ask questions would be better - and one of those questions should be why Bernie still thinks a 'medal system' is a good idea when everyone else who knows or cares about F1 thinks it could potentially ruin the sport and cause many spectators to lose interest.

[Comic Book Movie] First Trailer of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra!: They clearly made an effort to transform it into a more real-world setting (see the new uniforms, and the lack of lasers) but then they have green goo melting the Eifell Tower, and Snake Eyes making leaps and jumps that are impossible, and just looked really fake. You can't have your cake and eat it, too.

[BBC Blog Network] BBC - The Editors: Storm over Corfu: Fwiw orangejuggler, I think it was wrong of Peston to cover the story, but on all other issues of bias, I'm more convinced by Steve Mawhinney's explanation than I am by most of the reactionary howlings below his piece, which are fast turning the user comment areas of BBC blogs into something of a joke. The Osborne story, by its nature, was potentially far more explosive - and this was reflected in the coverage afforded it not just by the BBC but by other news outlets as well.

[Roger L. Simon] Roger L. Simon » Storm Clouds on the Fourth of July: Co., which has at it’s disposal all the powers of the government and is acting “under color of law,” we will need someone leading us who is just as canny, merciless and ruthless as Obama, if not more so; consequently, there will be a lot of breakage and/or bloodshed, and even if we win, I am afraid that the America that emerges on the other side will likely be a far different America than the one we will fondly remember and long for, but which will be irretrievably gone, lost, and for that I hope those who are making a second American Revolution necessary rot in hell forever.

[blog.cagle.com - main] Mother Nature Has Her Say | blog.cagle.com - main: The question really is, have recent weather patterns changed, and have the changes been for the “better” or the “worse?” The preponderance of evidence suggests the ever increasing growth in human population and recent industrialization have indeed coincided with changing weather patterns accompanied by steady increases in average temperatures and that these increases have had a negative effect on food production, clean water availability, and dramatic “killer” storms.
