http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/2FB36AA0-3BFC-4418-A0D0-3C87A1D5BA8B/

... You'll see a large collection of Web applications and tech sites, excellent blogs, offbeat social networks, and, as always, a handful of addictive Flash games for those slow days at work.

Some of these sites are completely under the radar and get very little traffic. Others are hugely popular within a specific demographic. But all of them deserve to be in your bookmarks.

Language is perhaps the most important function of the human body - it allows us to get sustenance as a child, it allows us to get virtually anything we want as an adult, and it allows us many hours of entertainment through literature, radio, music, and films. This list (in order of least to most spoken) summarizes the most important languages in use today.

How Oil Drilling Works

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 05:25:20 GMT

clipped by: merrie
clipper's remarks: As new sedimentary layers were deposited, they exerted intense pressure and heat on the source rock. The heat and pressure distilled the organic material into crude oil and natural gas. The oil flowed from the source rock and accumulated in thicker, more porous limestone or sandstone, called reservoir rock. Movements in the Earth trapped the oil and natural gas in the reservoir rocks between layers of impermeable rock, or cap rock, such as granite or marble.

Modern oil geologists examine surface rocks and terrain, with the additional help of satellite images. However, they also use a variety of other methods to find oil. They can use sensitive gravity meters to measure tiny changes in the Earth's gravitational field that could indicate flowing oil, as well as sensitive magnetometers to measure tiny changes in the Earth's magnetic field caused by flowing oil. They can detect the smell of hydrocarbons using sensitive electronic noses called sniffers.

In 2005 alone, the United States produced an estimated 9 million barrels of crude oil per day and imported 13.21 million barrels per day from other countries. This oil gets refined into gasoline, kerosene, heating oil and other products. To keep up with our consumption, oil companies must constantly look for new sources of petroleum, as well as improve the production of existing wells.

Oil reservoir rocks (red) and natural gas (blue) can be trapped by folding (left), faulting (middle) or pinching out (right).

Over the years, the organisms decayed in the sedimentary layers. In these layers, there was little or no oxygen present. So microorganisms broke the remains into carbon-rich compounds that formed organic layers.

The organic material mixed with the sediments, forming fine-grained shale, or source rock.

HYDROGEN HOUSE: This unassuming modular home in suburban New Jersey runs on solar power and stored hydrogen.
©DAVID BIELLO

EAST AMWELL, N.J.—Mike Strizki has not paid an electric, oil or gas bill—nor has he spent a nickel to fill up his Mercury Sable—in nearly two years. Instead, the 51-year-old civil engineer makes all the fuel he needs using a system he built in the capacious garage of his home, which employs photovoltaic (PV) panels to turn sunlight into electricity that is harnessed in turn to extract hydrogen from tap water.

Although the device cost $500,000 to construct, and it is unlikely it will ever pay off financially (even with today's skyrocketing oil and gas prices), the civil engineer says it is priceless in terms of what it does buy: freedom from ever paying another heating or electric bill, not to mention keeping a lid on pollution, because water is its only by-product.

The Car Fountain in Rome

The Car Fountain

A fountain in Rome holds a car in the air.

This unusual fountain set up in Rome, Italy is the work of Spanish artist Juan Galdeano who wanted to make a statement that would hopefully draw attention to the issue of global warming.

The fountain was built to look like it’s sustaining a hatchback Seat Ibiza, when in reality the car is being supported by an intricate installation. Let’s face it, that would have to be quite a powerful jet of water to sustain the car. The fountain is available to the public from June 5 to August 10.

The eye of the hurricane

clipper's remarks: "...All the while scientists are monitoring their instruments and taking readings. After running a transect through the hurricane, the plane comes about and makes another penetration. A few more penetrations and the P-3 returns to home base, refuels, and prepares for another mission into the hurricane the next day, all in the name of science and trying to help make better forecasts and predictions for the people of the United States and Caribbean ..

The eye of the hurricane is now seen clearly on the radar and the pilot guides the plane towards the center of the storm. Bands are passed through, each of which has increasingly strong winds approaching the center. Finally the last circular ring of clouds is entered.

Finally the last circular ring of clouds is entered. The pilots and science crew are all strapped in to their seats doing their jobs. The plane is moving up and down, hitting air pockets and dropping, being caught by rising air currents and suddenly moving upward

Everything and everyone is secured so nothing is flying about but the sensation is one of being in a washing machine. Suddenly the plane pierces the eyewall and enters into the calm and clear of the eye.

A huge ring of clouds dwarfs the aircraft as it flies through the eye. A few minutes later, the plane reenters the eyewall clouds and goes from calm to incredible fury.

Women Who Love Porn

When you think of the women who attend adult movie conventions, you probably picture porn stars. But there are plenty of non-professional ladies who appreciate a "four-legged flesh session" captured on camera.

In an effort to continue the work of Alfred Kinsey, Asylum traveled to the Adult Entertainment Expo to track down this rare breed and ask the tough, important questions all men want the answers to:

What got you interested in porn? What kind of porn do you watch? Do you have any suggestions on how a guy could get his girlfriend into watching porn?

The guy could be anyone, not necessarily an Asylum editor.

Here are some excerpts from our interviews, plus pictures of the fans with their favorite porn stars.

Bad Guys Get More Sex

BAD boys really do get the girls, according to new research.

This week's New Scientist says two studies in the US have found that men with antisocial personality traits are more likely to have a prolific sex life.

The so-called 'dark triad' traits include impulsiveness, narcissism, thrill-seeking and deceitfulness, it says.

One of the studies, a survey of 35,000 people in 57 countries, found a clear link between dark triad traits and the reproductive success of males.

"It is universal across cultures for high dark triad scorers to be more active in short-term mating,'' David Schmitt, of Bradley University in the US, told New Scientist.

"They are more likely to try and poach other people's partners for a brief affair.''

Another study found that males who scored higher in the dark triad personality traits had a greater number of partners and a desire for short relationships.
