Milky Way through a Sahara Sandstorm

I've seen a lot of time-lapse films in the last few years, and I have to say, this one by Terje Sorgjerd could be the best. 
The footage was captured about a week ago from atop El Teide, Spain's highest mountain. At one point, a large sandstorm hit the Sahara Desert, making it nearly impossible for Sorgjerd to see the sky with his own eyes. Surprisingly, his camera had managed to capture the sandstorm which was backlit by Grand Canary Island making it look like golden clouds. The Milky Way was shining through the clouds, making the stars sparkle in an interesting way (00:32).
"The goal was to capture the beautiful Milky Way galaxy along with one of the most amazing mountains I know El Teide," says Sorgjerd. "I have to say this was one of the most exhausting trips I have done. There was a lot of hiking at high altitudes and probably less than 10 hours of sleep in total for the whole week."

Posterous Spotlight: the3six5

Anyone on any given day has a story to share - Len Kendall and Daniel Honigman created the3six5 project to share experiences from authors from around the world who write about their experiences once a day for the entire year.
The3six5

For those unfamiliar with the3six5 project, what is it exactly?
the3six5 is essentially a community-generated journal. Every day (365 days was the original scope of the project) a different person writes a post -- in 365 words or fewer -- about their experiences that day, and reflects upon what happened in the bigger picture. Each post is specific to that day. None are prewritten.
What were some of your favorite posts thus far into the year?
These are from last year, but:  August 11, 2010: Chris Courtney and October 2, 2010: Ann Curry. This year: April 14, 2011: Alicia Hansen and January 21, 2011: Petar Boyadzhiev
What's the funniest post you guys have received?
This satire of Texas and it's politicians was quite chuckle-worthy 
You're currently nominated for a Webby award, did you ever expect to get this much attention?
We've had great feedback throughout the project's existence, whether it's from the media, authors or from the digital community as a whole. We were selected to host a panel at SXSW. When the Webby submission dates rolled around, we were encouraged by our community to enter, and we even raised the $150 entry fee in less than a day!
What are some other Posterous blogs you like to read?
Jason Calacanis' blog is definitely great, along with LitmanLive. Internet Scratch Pad by Baratunde Thurston -- one of our authors -- is a good read too
Any other words?
While the3six5 means a lot to us, I think Len and I have been most surprised by what exactly it means to our community as well. People really seem to love the project!

STRIKERS,
THANK YOU. After an incredible opening weekend, it would appear it's time to expand. Opening in only 300 theaters, Atlas Shrugged pulled in 1.67 million dollars averaging $5,590 per theater - 3rd only to Rio and Scream 4 in averages.
Atlas Shrugged Movie = Free Market Working.

The HEAT is on

Our work is not done - it has only just begun and we are running out of time quick. The opposition is out in force and they DO NOT want the message of Atlas to get out. Add to that the summer movie season is hurriedly approaching and we have to move NOW.
This is NOT a dress rehearsal. We must keep the pressure on and get the word out FAST.
Head on over to our Get Involved page and get to spreading the word - twiitter, facebook, email - every single post you make has an impact.

Buy your tickets

Buy your tickets now by visting our theaters page and looking for the "BUY TICKETS" button. Not in your town yet? Demand ATLAS!

Firefly

Firefly is a unique and well-developed show, with interesting characters and riveting plots.

The show had an awesome team to make it. It had amazing episodes that were produced in such ways that when watching it, I was amazed. I loved the dialog and it's classic Joss Whedon attributes of wit, sarcasm, and his purposeful directing. There was meaning in places where you wouldn't usually find it to be. The ship itself had several meanings, as did its various parts, and crew. The show was very pleasing to watch and its a shame that there are people out there who don't understand that although the idea of a space western is hard to conceptualize with it's oddities (for instance, the presence of guns with bullets as opposed to tasters/phasers/lasers), that this is a science fiction show. It is a fiction about another dimension; the space western aspect is only the background of the show. The story lines and morals, alongside with the wonderful acting and great dialogue, makes this a show to be watched.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

What can I say it's a masterpiece. It's both funny and it strikes a vital point. As a matter of fact I don't really know how to explain the greatness of this film. i guess the main question is; how do you define insanity? And do we have the right to pretend we're any better? Or for that sake how can we claim to be able to cure mental disease when we have no clue how the brain works. 
The movie starts with a minor criminal McMurphy (Jack Nicholsen) who pretends to be insane to avoid prison. But as he observes the patients, who by the way becomes his friends, he starts feeling sorry for them, and questioning the doctors means for "healing" them. Nurse Ratchet (Louise Fletcher), the woman who is supposed to help them, seem to stir up more problems than she fixes them. So he decides to rebel against the doctors and learn the patient how it is to live again and have some fun. Now to prevent myself from spoiling any of this movie I'll stop here.
Now of course Jack Nicholsen is not the only who should get credit for this movie, although he's performance is great. Christopher Lloyd as Taber and this film also introduces Brad Dourif in his first film role as Billy Bibbit. And the one character that holds this film together is Will Sampson as Chief the mute and deaf native American who is more than everyone suspects. i must say he was my favourite in this film.
So what is my verdict from this film, 10/10 of course. This film is brilliant, I can't recommend this film enough, go out and rent it, buy it or whatever, this movie is a must see for everyone.
