The one stop sci-fi shop with movie and book news, anime and well researched referenced linked editorial. Some great art on the covers, SciFipedia that is a searchable wiki, and a nifty tech page.

A website where you can spend hours.

(and droll in vain due to the fact that we do not get the Sci-fi channel )

without a doubt, the most fun to be had on the web with your clothes on... especially if you're into conspiracy theories....

Evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal.

"Pharyngula" is a term coined by William Ballard to describe a particular stage in the development of the vertebrate embryo. At the pharyngula stage, the vertebrate embryo

* is at the phylotypic stage, an evolutionarily conserved period when vertebrate embryos of all species are most similar to one another.
* has assembled at least the rudiments of most of the major organ systems.
* is expressing the well-known series of Hox genes, regulatory genes responsible for patterning the embryo.
* has a repeated series of pharyngeal arches. These are characteristic chordate tissues that form a 'basket' of cartilage and associated tissues in the throat; they contribute to jaws and facial structures, ear bones, gill arches, etc.

It's an interesting and important period of embryonic development, and happens to be the period my students and I spend a lot of time studying.

If you're wondering how to pronounce it, try "fa-RING-you-la" or "fa-RINJ-you-la."

If you're a designer (like myself) . Just make sure your designs truly are 100% original, unlike these people, who thought we wouldn't notice.

Or, if you're gonna try a hand at displaying some of your crazy Photoshop skillz, at least try and avoid some of these Photoshop disasters.

World Public Opinion - Some intereseting perspectives

http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/

WorldPublicOpinion.org is an international collaborative project whose aim is to give voice to public opinion around the world on international issues. As the world becomes increasingly integrated, problems have become increasingly global, pointing to a greater need for understanding between nations and for elucidating global norms. With the growth of democracy in the world, public opinion has come to play a greater role in the foreign policy process. WorldPublicOpinion.org seeks to reveal the values and views of publics in specific nations around the world as well as global patterns of world public opinion.
