The big Picture - 2009 UN World Drug Report. 



Sarab village resident and opium addict Islam Beg offers his opium pipe to his grandson in the Badakhshan province of Afghanistan. 


Some of these are so disturbing, so horrible… I felt sick just by looking at these photos. The ones that say warning are the worst, there’s one with a naked man hanging from a bridge, and another guy who’s brains were blown out by a gunshot wound. 

Geesh. Sobering afternoon stuff?.

Tickets to watch the Venezuela Youth Symphony Orchestra and Gustavo Dudamel (see video) were at least 300$. So I got tickets to watch the Venezuelan Brass Ensemble, while it won’t be as awesome, its still great to support Venezuelan musicians.

Photo Set of the Day: In a series of photos called “Midway,” Chris Jordan, featured previously for “Gyre” — his massive piece of eco-awareness artwork — captures the heartrending plight of the albatross chicks who call the Great Pacific Garbage Patch home:

The nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting what looks to them like food to bring back to their young. On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking.

Paolo Nutini, singing some blue eyed soul.

Love his music. I even bought (yes bought) his albums. So so good.

I would normally welcome the competition.

However, we’re talking about the Canadian Wireless Industry here.

It’s less about competition and more about GANG BANG.
