Kelly Brook Drops Some Awesome Cleavage
Earlier today I talked about Kelly Brook’s booty needing a little work… I may have spoken too soon. Here she is hanging out in her one-piece swimsuit while on vacation in Europe somewhere. I guess her bikini bottoms were just saggy, because that booty looks pretty damn good to me. But honestly, who the hell [...]

Katie Holmes Bikini Pictures Are Popping Up All Over the Place
Six months ago, it seemed like you couldn't see an inch of skin on the still delightfully hot Katie Holmes. I'm not sure if proper tributes were paid to Xenu, or if Tom Cruise caughtFootloose and learned all about the pointlessness in trying to control the inner-passions of the kids, but Katie Holmes seems to be running around in a bikini pretty much weekly now, especially in the paparazzi friendly confines of her Miami condo. And, I for one, love it. Sure, she's not the exact same Katie Holmes we first wanked to fell in love with on Dawson's Creek. But, everybody grows up and changes (no matter how hard we try not to). In her imperfections, I still find only sexy. Enjoy.
http://cdn04.cdn.egotastic.com/wp-co...05.jpgOh, yeah, almost forgot. Tom took Katie out to dinner and she wore a see-through sweater! What the heck is going on here with Katie Holmes flashing herfluorescentbra to the world? If the Rapture is coming again soon, somebody better be giving me more warning. More... |

A Major Variation on a Theme
http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedi...1-th100-75.jpgSaturn’s invisible radiation belts are like much of the rest of the planet’s system – unique. NASA’s Pioneer and Voyager spacecraft found gaps in the belts at distances from Saturn that match the orbits of some of Saturn’s moons, suggesting the moons were sweeping up the particles. If current explanations of radiation belt behavior are correct, there is a mystery: Saturn’s radiation belts should have disappeared long ago.

A Pulsar and Its Mysterious Tail
A spinning neutron star is tied to a mysterious tail -- or so it seems. Astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have found that this pulsar, known as PSR J0357+3205 (or PSR J0357 for short), apparently has a long, X-ray bright tail streaming away from it. This composite image shows Chandra data in blue and Digitized Sky Survey data in yellow. The position of the pulsar at the upper right end of the tail is seen by mousing over the image. The two bright sources lying near the lower left end of the tail are both thought to be unrelated background objects located outside our galaxy. PSR J0357 was originally discovered by the Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope in 2009. Astronomers calculate that the pulsar lies about 1,600 light years from Earth and is about half a million years old, which makes it roughly middle-aged for this type of object. If the tail is at the same distance as the pulsar then it stretches for 4.2 light years in length. This would make it one of the the longest X-ray tails ever associated with a so-called "rotation-powered" pulsar, a class of pulsar that get its power from the energy lost as the rotation of the pulsar slows down. (Other types of pulsars include those driven by strong magnetic fields and still others that are powered by material falling onto the neutron star.) The Chandra data indicate that the X-ray tail may be produced by emission from energetic particles in a pulsar wind, with the particles produced by the pulsar spiraling around magnetic field lines. Other X-ray tails around pulsars have been interpreted as bow-shocks generated by the supersonic motion of pulsars through space, with the wind trailing behind as its particles are swept back by the pulsar's interaction with the interstellar gas it encounters. However, this bow-shock interpretation may or may not be correct for PSR J0357, with several issues that need to be explained. For example, the Fermi data show that PSR J0357 is losing a very small amount of energy as its spin slows down with time. This energy loss is important, because it is converted into radiation and powering a particle wind from the pulsar. This places limits on the amount of energy that particles in the wind can attain, and so might not account for the quantity of X-rays seen by Chandra in the tail. Another challenge to this explanation is that other pulsars with bow-shocks show bright X-ray emission surrounding the pulsar, and this is not seen for PSR J0357. Also, the brightest portion of the tail is well away from the pulsar and this differs from what has been seen for other pulsars with bow-shocks. Further observations with Chandra could help test this bow-shock interpretation. If the pulsar is seen moving in the opposite direction from that of the tail, this would support the bow-shock idea. These results were published in the June 1st, 2011 issue of The Astrophysical Journal.

Erika Moutinho Girls on the Rail Gallery
http://cdn.wickedchopspoker.com/wp-c...7/IMG_3494.jpg Erika Moutinho (center foreground) is still grinding her way up the pay scale at the 2011 WSOP Main Event.
With the eliminations of Erik Lindgren in 43rd place ($196,174) and Fabio Sousa in 42nd ($196,174), as of 5pm PT we’re down to math math math 41 remaining in the 2011 WSOP Main Event. One of them is Erika Moutinho, a woman, with about 2.5M. That puts her towards the bottom of the leaderboard but still with around 50 big blinds. Her boyfriend David Sands is a little worse, with 1.9M. In related news, Erika Moutinho is dating David Sands, and THEY’RE BOTH STILL IN THE MAIN EVENT. Can’t believe nobody has reported this or that it hasn’t been discussed on TV. It’s gone, like, completely unreported. Ryan Lenaghan is still chip leader with around 15M. Ben Lamb still follows with around 11M. Get full chip counts here. http://wickedchopspoker.com/wp-conte...s_img_3493.jpg http://wickedchopspoker.com/wp-conte...s_img_3495.jpg http://wickedchopspoker.com/wp-conte...s_img_3497.jpg http://wickedchopspoker.com/wp-conte...s_img_3498.jpg http://wickedchopspoker.com/wp-conte...s_img_3501.jpg http://wickedchopspoker.com/wp-conte...s_img_3502.jpg http://wickedchopspoker.com/wp-conte...s_img_3509.jpg Related Posts
