Kate Bush slams Americans for choosing Obama.
80s pop-star Kate Bush has publically slammed Americans for electing Barack Obama president in November's historic election. The British-born singer has been a long time supporter of Republican candidate John McCain, and recently made her views public. "Just think about his name!" said Bush "I mean, Obama, Osama!!

Real Niko Bellic Art
There’s a comparably new artistic style of image manipulation that’s called untooning. In essence untooning is when an artist uses one or several photographs of real people (mostly faces) and manipulates them in a way to give the effect of realism to a cartoonish character.
The most well known artist for such photo manipulations is an artist called pixeloo (Jax Pixeloo). He started to attract more attention after untooning GTA IV’s main character Niko Bellic for the Official Playstation Magazine. The artistic piece received great feedback and a lot of recognition.
Not everyone was amazed by pixeloo’s creation and one Brazilian artist, who also did similar pieces in the past, decided to make even more realistic portrait of an Eastern European war veteran. mataleoneRJ used eight photographs of different people to get the best possible result. The artist added wrinkles, extra details around the eyes and one or two scars to get the true gangster look.
Both artists achieved incredible results, and both pieces look superb.

Would you walk on this ?
Glass Bridge will be suspended 4,000 feet above the Colorado River on the very edge of the Grand Canyon .
On May 2005, the final test was conducted and the structure passed engineering requirements by 400 percent, enabling it to withstand the weight of 71 fully loaded Boeing 747 airplanes (more that 71 million pounds).
The bridge will be able to sustain winds in excess of 100 miles per hour from 8 different directions, as well as an 8.0 magnitude earthquake within 50 miles.
More than one million pounds of steel will go into the construction of the Grand Canyon SkyWalk.
