Walking Down the Stairs… on a Pole
[iDevice Link] <— 2,293 In support of my sister Sheila, I am reposting this. In all honesty, I would probably throw this stripper a buck or two. If she’s not an adult entertainer – I apologize… I was purely judging on behalf of her name only.
@2:20 when she walks down the stairs… on a pole = pretty amazing.
Good luck sister.

Go Mines
The new Hoover Dam bridge is complete… with huge Mines influence. If I were to remain in the civil engineering program when I actually applied myself in school studies – one day they would write up a project like this about me.
This was a gigantic engineering feat and a very interesting read.
The Cellular Revolution
[iDevice Link] <— 100,585 Who doesn't love a couple old school vintage cellphone commercials? Nice share RJ — watch 9 more via this [link].
Highlights:
“500 million telephone subscribers in the world world world world world world world!”
“Horn alert option included.”
“Optional battery available for TRUE portable use.”
“Yah – I got all my guys working on it right now!”
“Eventually – seeing people using cellular phones may seem as common place as someone checking time on an ELECT-tronic watch.”

I’m researching helicopter production quality… and it looks like there are two players that I have found so far. Let the research continue.
Golf – Years of Excellence
[iDevice Link] <— 1,248 views On March 4th, 2011 - Armenian-American CBS Sports producer and director, Frank Chirkinian passes away at the age of 84 after suffering from lung cancer. Straight from the man himself...
“I was probably the most innovative and brilliant son of a bitch that ever worked in television. I’ve done so damn many things I can’t remember half of them.”
Straight from Golf Coupons…
“He wasn’t a PGA Pro, but he’s headed to the Golf Hall of Fame. Too bad Frank Chirkinian did not live long enough to attend his induction ceremony this May. He would have enjoyed it. Chirkinian, died on March 4 after a battle with cancer. He didn’t play as a pro, but he influenced how we watch the game. Frank Chirkinian, “The father of televised golf,” died at the age of 84. Many of the things we take for granted today in sports coverage, and golf in particular are because of Chirkinian.
Frank produced the first PGA Championship in 1958, at Llanerch Country Club near his home in Philadelphia, and two years later the first televised Winter Olympics from Squaw Valley. He also dreamed up the idea of putting cameras on blimps to cover sports events.
But it was his work in golf that stood out, and at Augusta National in particular. He produced 38 editions of the Masters for CBS, bringing the majestic fairways and greens of Augusta to fans who could only dream of seeing them in person.
Perhaps you assumed golf leaderboards always listed the golfers in relation to par. Nope. It was Frank who thought this was a good idea and introduced it to sports broadcasting in 1960. Before then, it was just aggregate score. Pretty cool that Frank’s idea will last as long as tournaments are played.”
Tsunami in Japan
[iDevice Link] <— 454,159 I've been searching for this clip... finally it came to me. Just a reminder of the destruction and dangers of not being able to find high ground during a tsunami. Unbelievable. [Minami-Sanriku Video (Posted May 9th, 2011)] <— 6,429,180 [Facebook Page with News]
Most Ridiculously Awesome Steadicam Shot Ever
[iDevice Link] <— 603 In reference to TJ Fry's Facebook Wimp Post on the Most ridiculously awesome steadicam shot ever – I wanted more… More of this amazing song by Petr Elfimov from Belarus.
Sad his song, Eyes That Never Lie couldn’t advance to the semi-final round of the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow. The 387 Point 1st place performance of Fairytale by Alexander Rybak somehow took the gold.

What Planet the Fuck are You From?
[YouTubeUlar] <— 4,722 Ridiculous. Brain Farm and Red Bull kill it again with Travis Rice and The Art of Flight Movie Trailer. There are at least 8 “Holy Shit” elements in the first half of this teaser… I don’t even know what to say — Guess we’ll just have to wait to see the full film.
Genius.
Wake up Sheep
[iDevice Link] <— 39,607 Some very interesting analogies and thoughts presented via messengers, comedians and a little bit of sappy emotional music. 3:05
“When you win… you go into this smoky room with the 12 industrialists capitalists scumfucks who got you in there. And your in this smoking room and this… little screen comes down. And a big guy and a cigar says – “roll the film”. And it’s a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you’ve never seen before.And then the film – the screen goes up and the lights come on and they go… “Your the new president – any questions?””
Classic find Robert Fulton.
