She's obviously a very pretty young woman and hopefully she will get reconstructive work done with the help of Time magazine....
It really is amazing what can still happen in some parts of the world in 2010...

A really disturbing picture from the cover of the latest 'Time' magazine...
This is Aisha, a 19-year-old Afghan woman who was sentenced by the Taliban to have her nose and ears cut off for running away from home because of abusive in-laws...the torture was carried out by her husband and his brother in nearby mountains and she was left to die, but she survived....(she was 18 at the time).

New Google Image Search
It's slick...definitely thumbs up from here in the shed...
This is whats new :
Google Image Search
This is whats new :
- Dense tiled layout designed to make it easy to look at lots of images at once.
- Larger thumbnail previews on the results page, designed for modern browsers and high-res screens.
- A hover pane that appears when you put your mouse over a given thumbnail image, giving you a larger preview, more info about the image and other image-specific features such as “Similar images.”

A memory of New York...
While on a trip to New York a few months back, I came across this gentleman while waiting on the subway...he was just one of the many instances of musical talent I stumbled upon around the subway stations...he was happy for me to take my phone out and record him, which sent me home with this wonderful memory...

A free, no-install, reliable way to block adult content being accessed on your computer
It's a question I get asked a lot from people due to the PC Repair work that I do....I have in the past recommended K-9 software as it was free and did a good job of what it was supposed to do, I still do recommend it as it has a lot of features which are controlled by a password of your choosing...i.e, if you wanted to access a site that was blocked by the software, you can over-ride it temporarily with your password.
Open DNS also has a good free service called 'FamilyShield', and in their case no software at all has to be installed, just add a couple of DNS server numbers to your network adapters properties...if that sounds a little daunting then this video guides you through it....or read a guide and more info *here*
It should be noted though, that although the Open DNS solution is simple, someone can very easily remove the DNS entries with sufficent knowledge.
The I.P's to be added to your DNS {for Open DNS FamilyShield} are -

A few facts on the American penal system..
I found this posted on another blog that I have been frequenting recently {headrambles}.
It's a segment taken from the BBC programme 'QI'....and the presenter, Stephen Fry {always interesting}, goes with the light entertainment / comedy flow of the programme but yet makes everyone stop in their tracks with the information that he gives on the subject been spoke about.
He gives a lot of facts and figures here in a short time about the American penal system which are very thought-provoking...
