Are you a woman being lured to Moscow, the Russian capital, for prostitution? You had better watch it. You may be heading for an early grave. Moscow is not the best of places for the profession, particularly for blacks. If you dare, you may learn too late, in the hands of a certain group of Russian youths popularly called the ‘skin heads.’
It’s Christmastime, and the colonization of Mars is underway. However, when an oxygen generator and a gravity control pod malfunction, Major Syrtis (the Lips’ Steven Drozd) and his team (including the Lips’ Michael Ivins) fear the worst. Syrtis also hallucinates about the birth of a baby, and many other strange things. Meanwhile, a compassionate alien superbeing (Coyne) arrives, inspiring and helping the isolated astronauts.
These were the questions I sought to answer, and in this article, I give you the results of my experiment: a review of two representative terrorist propaganda games.

Abell built a three-decade career as a field photographer for National Geographic based on the lessons he learned from his father and a way of making photographs that he evolved along the way.

The rumors have been swirling around for a few weeks now about the launch of a new line Apple notebook computers around the 15th of October
So who’s the “owner” of the Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill at 89 West 7th Avenue?
Banksy.
Once inside Banksy’s pet store, you discover such things as breaded fish that swim in a large round bowl while hot dogs are living the high life under heat lamps in cages near the cash register.

Shaun Pye and the late Harry Thompson’s ultra bleak — and often quite smutty — BBC3 television series, Monkey Dust. Truly, it can be said, Monkey Dust raises the bar!
The New York Times is reporting on a new piece of software developed by Israeli computer scientists that take a photo and make it more attractive based on focus group research they conducted with 68 men and women. The “beautification engine”makes minor adjustments of symmetry, skin tone, and other factors that have been associated with “beauty.”
I would be remiss if I did not repeat this rumor, which I came across in the dpreview.com Nikon D3-D1 / D700 forum. I can not vouch for the validity of the rumor, only that I have quoted it in it’s entirety.
Art Sinsabaugh (1924–1983) is an artist ripe for rediscovery. After having trained and taught at Chicago’s renowned Institute of Design, he made his artistic breakthrough in the early 1960s with a giant 12 x 20-inch “banquet” camera that allowed him to marry a 19th-century panoramic vision with mid-20th-century formalism. He was a landscape photographer in the broadest sense: He photographed spaces—both rural and urban—that we inhabit. Sinsabaugh’s remarkable photographs capture a richly nuanced sense of place and the ever-changing face of the American environment.
After talking with several National Geographic photographers about shooting for the magazine I became intrigued with the process of getting a story made. The collaboration between the photo editors and photographers and then the photographers involvement in all the steps along the way is unique and important to how they make stories
Adobe Configurator (screenshots 1, 2), a new utility that’s due to ship on Adobe Labs around the end of the month, is a key part of our strategy. Configurator makes it easy to snap together your own Photoshop panels (a.k.a. palettes). Think of Configurator as a box of Legos–an app that lets you drag and drop all the tools and menu items in Photoshop, call actions & scripts, and add widgets (images, videos, other SWFs, etc.).
Vice: There’s a long history of soldiers taking things like speed to improve their fighting, but smoking weed in combat seems really counterintuitive, right?
You’d think so, but as I say to one of the main soldiers in the series with Jack, “Normally, that would make you more cautious, wouldn’t it?” And he said “Yeah, it would make me more cautious, but it makes these guys even more brave.” They just smoke for a few minutes then they get up and run toward the bullets. There was one day–it was the first time we were attacked while I was with the company. One of the Brits dove into a ditch and started firing, and the Afghan next to him stood up eating an apple.
Recently the publisher Damiani released a new edition of Mary Ellen Mark’s 1979 book Ward 81
