Epic View Of Earth From Space [Time Lapse Video]

In Gear, Space, Technology, Time Lapse, VIDEO / 9 March 2012 / 0 comments

It seems as if these is a new time laspse video of Earth shot by the International Space Station released each week. Some are better than others but I still watch them all. It’s transfixing. Of all the time lapse videos I’ve seen, probably dozens if not more, this one is hands down the best. It was shot by the crew of expeditions 28 & 29 onboard the International Space Station from August to October, 2011, at an altitude of around 350 km. That’s about 30 times the altitude airplanes cruise at. It is a view that few of us will ever see but everyone can appreciate. What makes this video great is that it was shot in crystal clear HD, and also refurbished, smoothed, retimed, denoised, deflickered, cut, etc. Shooting locations in order of appearance: 1. Aurora Borealis Pass over the United States at Night 2. Aurora Borealis and eastern United States at Night 3. Aurora Australis from Madagascar to southwest of Australia 4. Aurora Australis south of Australia 5. Northwest coast of United States to Central South America at Night 6. Aurora Australis from the Southern to the Northern Pacific Ocean 7. Halfway around the World 8. Night Pass more »

Jennifer Love Hewitt Knows How To Make A Comeback [6 Photos]

In Jennifer Love Hewitt, THE RACK, Women / 9 March 2012 / 0 comments

And this my friends is how you make a comeback. Jennifer Love Hewitt has been non-existant for over four years, look at Google Trends if you don’t believe me. She was flying under the radar, doing her thing then all the sudden BOOM, out of the blue Maxim releases a bodacious set of photos that rival anything she ever did in the 90′s. It was a textbook comeback, one for the ages. JLH had everyone intrigued and left the crowds wanting more. Instead of kicking back and basking in the glory she follows up just days later with this shoot from Bwatt Magazine. Classy. Sophisticated. Just enough skin to keep us interested. Everything you need to feed the frenzy. Well played Jennifer Love Hewitt, well played.

Danny McBride, aka Kenny Powers on HBO’s East Bound and Down, headed to the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles with Terry Richardson… and a bottle of Patron… and a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon… and a baseball bat… and some Coke. Needless to say things got pretty weird during the photoshoot for the latest issue of Rolling Stone.
