Tell-tale disappointment: Mysterious visitor to Poe's grave is a no-show for 2nd straight year
BALTIMORE (AP) — Telltale hearts beat with anticipation during a rainy, midnight dreary and beyond, hoping the mysterious visitor to Edgar Allan Poe's grave would return after a one-year absence.
But once again, the unknown person who for decades has left three roses and a half-empty bottle of cognac at Poe's grave on the anniversary of the writer's birth failed to appear Wednesday, fueling speculation that he may have died.

Seattle’s Hidden Past Lies In Its Underground City
The Seattle Space Needle, Safeco Field, Pike Place Market and the Washington Ferries are all places you probably have on your “must see” list when traveling to Seattle, Washington or the Pacific Northwest. But did you know that one of Seattle’s top tourist attractions is actually underground? That’s right, you have to go below the city to tour Seattle’s famous Underground City.
It started back in June 1889, when Seattle experienced what is often referred to as the “Great Fire of 1889″. This fire was an unfortunate set of coincidences that brought devastation to the city of Seattle. Sad to say, at the end of it all, approximately 25-30 city blocks had all but burned to the ground.

Amazing Design Wooden House by Robert Harvey Oshatz
This beautiful house is located in Portland, Oregon. The impressive design has been making for seven years, since 2004. When it just was a simple scratch on drawinng board. It is made by Robert Harvey Oshatz, an architect that involve a lots of his time in making of this wooden house. People around the world like it and and every single of them have different explanation of this . A lover of music, the client wanted a house that not only became part of the natural landscape but also addressed the flow of music. This house evades the mechanics of the camera; it is difficult to capture the way the interior space flows seamlessly through to the exterior. One must actually stroll through the house to grasp its complexities and its connection to the exterior. One example is a natural wood ceiling, floating on curved laminated wood beams, passing through a generous glass wall which wraps around the main living room.

10 Reasons Why Socrates is Still Relevant Today
“We think the way we do because Socrates thought the way he did,” writes Bettany Hughes at the start of The Hemlock Cup, her brand new biography of ancient Greece’s greatest philosopher.
Two-and-a-half millennia of history might separate us from the age when Socrates roamed the streets of ancient Athens, formulating and articulating his philosophies to the people. But many of his words and ideas ring just as true in the 21st century as they did back then. (For a run-down of ten great Socrates quotes to reflect upon, check out Owen's blog here).
From his beliefs on philosophical ethics to the justness of war, the folly of materialism, the necessity of true free speech and the importance of standing up for what you believe in, we count down 10 reasons why Socrates' philosophies are still relevant today.

Nosaj Thing vs. Aalto — Behind The Projection Mapping Performance
by Julia Kaganskiy
Projection mapping is the trend du jour these days — in the past year we’ve seen it pop up on structures varied as centuries old Czech clock towers to futuristic Frank Gehry buildings. Though the technique is essentially founded on optical illusion and achieves its dazzling effects by manipulating the appearance of architectural structures and three-dimensional space, here’s a rare demystifying look at the creative and technical process behind producing one of these audiovisual light performances.
Artist Romain Tardy (aka Aalto), of the visual label/VJ collective AntiVJ, dispels the smoke and mirrors typically associated with projection mapping and takes us through each step of the conception, design and construction for his recent performance with electronic musician Nosaj Thing at Lunchmeat Festival 2010 in Prague. Tardy spent two weeks prior to the performance customizing his design to the MeetFactory venue as the artist in residence in Lunchmeat’s first residency program. Assisted by a small team of carpenters, Tardy and his crew constructed a wooden framework for the stage design and covered it with more than 500 polystyrene triangles to make up a beautiful grid-like projection surface.

Let Obama’s Reagan Revolution Begin
BARACK OBAMA’S Christmas resurrection was so miraculous that even a birther or two may start believing the guy is a Christian.
Nothing captured the president’s sudden reversal of fortune more vividly than the Linda Blair-like head spin of the conservative pundit Charles Krauthammer, who pronounced the Obama agenda “dead” on Fox News on Nov. 3 only to lead the bipartisan media hordes anointing him “the new comeback kid” six weeks later. Last week Obama’s Gallup job approval rating fleetingly hit 50 percent for the first time in eight months. Even in post-shellacking mid-December, polls found that Americans still trusted him more than Washington’s Republican leaders to fix the nation’s ills — health care included, according to the ABC News-Washington Post survey on that question.

Obama Created More Jobs In One Year Than Bush Created In Eight
This morning, the Labor Department released its employment data for December, showing that the U.S. economy ended the year by adding 113,000 private sector jobs, knocking the unemployment rate down sharply from 9.8 percent to 9.4 percent — its lowest rate since July 2009. The “surprising drop — which was far better than the modest step-down economists had forecast — was the steepest one-month fall since 1998.” October and November’s jobs numbers were also revised upward by almost 80,000 each. Still, 14.5 million Americans remain unemployed, and jobs will have to be created much faster in coming months for the country to pull itself out of the economic doldrums.

Sick
For three days I was bedridden while my brain rebooted itself with the help of pharmaceuticals. I’m now convinced that Jesus had nothing to do with Lazarus 2.0. Glory be to Nyquil. Rewrite the bible. While dead I dreamt of world dominance. I was the tower of Babel and spoke fluently the language of the every man. I broke codes with my pillow talk. The ghost of Warren Zevon marveled at my perfectly coiffed hair. Dynasties cowered. Mothers wept at the foot of my robust ego. It was glorious. And at the end of my three dead days I awoke with the words of the newest testament teetering upon my pursed lips: I will never die.
10 Reasons Christopher Walken is Both Creepy and Awesome
Reality can be a pretty difficult thing for some people to handle. Sometimes the pressure can make you snap or just succumb to a dull chronic depression. But what if you could escape? What if you could ignore all the pressures and be someone else – someone successful, mysterious, respected and awesome? If you could face difficult situations as, say, Christopher Walken, they would certainly be easier to handle. No? That’s exactly what a chap named ‘Chris’ attempts in the short film WALKENTALK. It’s a fun and creepy experiment in walking the walk of Walken.
