The Jive Aces present the brand new single...

The Jive Aces have just released a brand new single called "Stories from the Golden Age" a rip-roaring original tune. The "B" side is a pirate inspired swinging chantey called "Under the Black Ensign".

The songs are part of a forthcoming album entitled "Amazing Adventures" inspired by the pulp fiction of the 1930's and 40's. An evocative world of nefarious villains, exotic intrigues, courageous heroes and heroines — a world that today's cinema has only just begun to tap for tales of adventure and swashbucklers.

The singles are only available in the USA and Canada iTunes stores from Monday 1st September but will be released in the UK, Europe at a later date.

The tracks are only $0.99 each so get downloading now!

Socotra Island

geographically isolated from mainland Africa for the last 6 or 7 million years. Like the Galapagos Islands, this island is teeming with 700 endemic species of flora and fauna, a full 1/3 of which are found nowhere else on Earth

The climate is harsh, hot and dry, and yet - the most amazing plant life thrives there. Situated in the Indian Ocean 250 km from Somalia and 340 km from Yemen, the wide sandy beaches rise to limestone plateaus full of caves (some 7 kilometers in length) and mountains up to 1525 meters high.

The name Socotra is derived from a Sanscrit name, meaning "The Island of Bliss"... Is it the beaches? The isolation and quiet? or the strange and crazy botanical allure?

40,000 inhabitants, the Yemeni govenment put in the first roads just 2 years ago - after negotiations with UNESCO, which has declared this island a World Natural Heritage Site

140 different species of birds; 10 of which are not found anywhere else in the world

Laguna Colorada: The Red Lake of Bolivia

The Red Lake of Bolivia

Bolivia has quite a number of salt lakes but one of the most amazing ones is the Red Lake, also known as the Laguna Colorada.

Like the name suggests it has a reddish color given by an astronomical number of micro-organisms that live in its waters and by the salt crust.

Laguna Colorada is an unforgetable sight especially if you’re lucky enough to spot the rare flamingos that like to spend their time here.

Laguna Colorada

BOLIVIA

Laguna Colorada is a shallow salt lake in the southwest of the altiplano of Bolivia and close to the border with Chile. The lake contains borax islands, whose white color contrasts nicely with the reddish color of its waters, which is caused by red sediments and pigmentation of some algae.

Creatively Converted Sea Forts of Great Britain:

clipper's remarks: Couldn't clip it all, enjoy,

Clip Source: weburbanist.com

Ocean and sea forts are few and far between and with good reason: only in fairly extreme circumstances is their expense deemed justifiable. Since being decommissioned, many of these have gained strange second lives as everything from luxury resorts and private retreats to micronations and pirate radio stations. It sounds extreme, but be honest: wouldn’t you want a sea fort of your very own?

Guy Maunsell is responsible for an amazing series of WWII army and navy sea forts, many of which still stand today. One of the most infamous of his navy sea forts has since been converted into a micronation named Sealand. Four navy forts (shown above) were pre-constructed and then arrayed off the coast of Britain to expand radar coverage and provide anti-aircraft fire with huge mounted guns. So how did they put them in place? The base pillars were carried out by barge and then the whole structure is sunk and filled with water.

this island, which is part of a group of 4 islands, has been geographically isolated from mainland Africa for the last 6 or 7 million years. Like the Galapagos Islands, this island is teeming with 700 endemic species of flora and fauna, a full 1/3 of which are found nowhere else on Earth.

We begin with the dracena cinnibaris or Dragon's Blood Tree, the source of valuable resin for varnishes, dyes, and "cure-all" medicine; also (predictably) used in medieval ritual magic and alchemy -

The branches spread out into the sky and from below appear to hover over the landscape like so many flying saucers... and from above they have a distinct mushroom look:

Esref Armaga is an exceptionally talented artist from Turkey. What sets him apart is he was born without eyes.

Esref, from an early age, had a better grasp of perspective and proportion than many sighted artists, which based on everything science knows about sight, should have been absolutely impossible.

As a visual artist, I found it very difficult to accept and understand that a man without eyes could paint accurate and beautiful landscapes, even seascapes, without ever having "seen" them.

The video's slightly long but absolutely worth watching.

One of the greatest aspects of the previous 250 was its amazing value. Uno de los mayores aspectos de la anterior 250 es su increíble valor. At $2999 it was the best deal out there. $ 2999 es el mejor negocio fuera allí.

Jerusalem's ancient walls unveiled

Archaeologists in Jerusalem have given a first glimpse of what they say is a newly-exposed section of the city walls built 2,100 years ago.

built by the Hasmonean kings and

destroyed during the Great Revolt

also the remains of a city wall from the Byzantine period (324-640 CE) which was built on top of it

Clip Source: news.bbc.co.uk

The walls were first located through tunnels by 19th Century researchers, whose beer bottles were also found.

"The fact that after 2,100 years the remains of the wall were preserved to a height of three meters is amazing," he said.

The researchers believe the walls show the ancient city's boundaries when it was at its largest, with a circumference of 6km, compared to the 4km of walling surrounding what is now the Old City.

The researchers also found a range of artefacts from before and after the Second Temple period, including female fertility figures from the early Israelites who, according to the Bible, were prohibited from worshipping idols.

Last year Festo surprised everyone with their amazing prototype of the Air_ray a manta ray that swims through the air and the b-IONIC Airfish. We reported on it in a great post which was titled "Airships are just like fish in the sky" Festo is currently at the Hannover Messe 2008 and they brought an just as stunning new project with them. We present the Air Jelly, a jellyfish that swims through the air. Currently the information about the AirJelly is only available in German at the Festo Website but the pictures speak for them self, of course we also provide you with a direct link to the autotranslated Page in English about the AirJelly
The Video on the Website of Festo did not work for me so I uploaded it to YouTube just in case you can not see the "Flim" on the Festo website:
