Eye of Judgment is my game away from games, when I want to sit back and chill out to some fantasy gameplay. It's more about strategy than how fast you are with your fingers. Seeing the characters come to life on the screen, via the PlayStation Eye, is part of the addiction in collecting all the oddities found in the Eye of Judgment world.

See some of the character artwork from Eye of Judgment here. Visit the official website of Eye of Judgment here to find out more about it.

jupiter's rings

An eclipse of the sun by Jupiter, as viewed from Galileo, reveals Jupiter's rings. Small dust particles high in Jupiter's atmosphere, as well as the dust particles that compose the rings, can be seen by reflected sunlight.

Jupiter has a thin set of nearly imperceptible rings with features that have long puzzled scientists. A new study reveals how light and shadow are at work there, solving several mysteries at once.

Nowhere near as visible as the rings of Saturn, which are icy and bright and contain many chunks as big as houses, Jupiter's rings are made mostly of dark dust. They were discovered in 1979 by Voyager 1. Not until the Galileo spacecraft, orbiting Jupiter from 1995 to 2003, did scientists figure out the rings were made of dust kicked up by meteoroids slamming into Jupiter's inner moons.

Yet oddities remained that didn't match theoretical predictions: The rings protrude beyond the orbit of the moon Thebe, and part of the ring system is tilted compared to the main ring plane.

EDMONTON -- For awhile, the strangest part of the National Hockey League playoffs had to be all those calls for Philadelphia's Patrick Thoresen to test the mettle of Washington's David Steckel.

Every time Thoresen's name was uttered on the TSN broadcast, it was immediately followed by "test Steckel." Play-by-play man Gord Miller would get the ball rolling with a comment like, "Thoresen goes down to block a shot" and out of nowhere analyst Pierre McGuire would yell "test Steckel!" at the top of his lungs.

Of course, later on it hit me. Like a slap shot in the groin.

That mystery solved, there were other candidates for the strangest part of the first round. Take Detroit defenceman Nick Lidstrom's goal from centre ice on Nashville netminder Dan Ellis coming almost exactly six years after Lidstrom scored an eerily similar fluke against another Dan, Vancouver's Cloutier.

Or the laughable gladiator opening in Ottawa that gave NHL marketing its official "jump the shark" moment.

Ever get really, really frustrated? So frustrated, perhaps, that you considered simply firing your footwear at the nearest tree you could find? Well, me neither, but it seems that some people have, and in the process inspired over 70 “shoe trees” all over America, each holding hundred of pairs of sneakers in their branches.

9. Santiago, Chile

8. Amboy, California

7. Manchester, UK

6. Brooklyn, New York

5. British Columbia, Canada

Oregon, home of Nike, which has probably produced most of the decor in these images, features some fantastic shoe trees, as well. This one has proved so popular that it ran out of room and began to spill over.
