US lists polar bear as threatened  

US lists polar bear as threatened

Polar bears (file picture)
Polar bears live only in the Arctic and depend on sea ice to hunt seals

The United States has listed the polar bear as a threatened species, because its Arctic sea ice habitat is melting due to climate change.

US government scientists predict that two-thirds of the polar bear population of 25,000 could disappear by 2050.
However, the government stressed the listing would not lead to measures to prevent global warming.
Environmentalists have expressed disappointment that more will not be done to protect the bear's habitat.
US Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne said the government had made the decision on the advice of scientists, but he suggested the impact of the move would be limited.
"While the legal standards under the Endangered Species Act compel me to list the polar bear as threatened," he said, "I want to make clear that this listing will not stop global climate change or prevent any sea ice from melting."

Just a few questions =]  
Heya!

I am like soooo obsessed with Eva Longoria atm and i'd love to make graphics out of some pictures of her, involving some sort of coloring. But the problem is, i can't find a coloring tutorial that works with Eva's hair color (dark brown) that will look good but doesn't darken the whole picture. So i was wondering if anyone had any tuts that they know of that they could give me directions to? I'd be so great full!
e.g i'd like to do some color changes to this image in particular:
Photobucket

Thanks in advance xx

Oh yeah and it would be nice to learn how to make these colorings, if anyone knows:
1. Photobucket 2. Photobucket

(Sorry that i don't know who they are by)

Thank yoooou <3

The Heroes Crash Land On Lost Island... A Parody.  


Title:  The Heroes Crash Land on Lost Island
Characters:  Heroes Cast and Lost Cast
Rating:  PG-13 is for language
Disclaimer:  This is a Crossover for Lost and Heroes.  It has characters from both.  This is a parody..it is not serious drama, shipping, or slashing.  It's just for fun.  I don't own nothing cuz if I did, alot of characters from both shows would already have been dead by woodchipper.  And Sawyer would never ever ever wear a shirt.  Neither would Desmond, or Sayid...or, well...you get the point.

Oh..and if you like it, there's lots of more Heroes Parodies on my journal...but no more Lost...sadly.  Am working on some Lost macros though.  And we're off to the races. 

Oh..one more thing...please excuse my cuts...I am a total retard when it comes to working livejournal. But just click on the first and it will take you to the links.

rothko  

Regardless of what you think of Mark Rothko, and his very-famous works in color fields, he is my kind of person. See here:

"Rothko mentioned to a casual aquaintance that he was to paint a series of canvases 'for the walls of the most exclusive room in a very expensive restaurant... where the richest bastards in New York will come to feed and show off.' He confided he had accepted the commission 'with strictly malicious intentions' and that he hoped to 'ruin the appetite of every s.o.b. who eats in that room.' " (Klaus Ottman, The Essential Mark Rothko)

The paintings he produced for the room are a bloody dark red with shadows moving over them.

How to get this kind of dreamy effect?  
Hi can I achieve this kind of dreamy effect like on this two banners? I am pretty sure that its not involves overlay or softlight because whenever I try to overlay/softlight them its turn out really yellow-ish.

Rochellee and I finally decided to just bite the bullet and go to the gym. We decided to be gym buddies a long time and just haven't got around to the gym part, until today! It was actually rather glorious. We worked out for an hour and 15 minutes and I feel awesome. We're thinking of going 2 or 3 times a week to start. ^_^

GUYS...MAYBE I WON'T BE SO FLABBY ANYMORE! PROBABLY NOT...BUT MAYBE.

Also, I'm perversely addicted to reading Ben/Locke fan fiction. Which there is entirely too little of in the world. Don't judge. :P

ETA: I didn't see this week's episode of House 'cause I kinda stopped watching it but I just found THIS scene on youtube and OHMAHGAWD Lisa Edelstein...scantily clad...o.O <3

Damon and Carlton interview at E Online  
 There is an awesome interview with Damon and Carlton at E Online (well, every interview with them is awesome).

I love how they note that the sort of crisis the characters deal with now has gone from being "finding water" to "moving the island."  : )

The interview can be found here.
