| Verbatim DVD+R DL |
[Jul. 19th, 2009|10:31 am] |
Has anybody experienced problems with Verbatim DVD +R DL discs and Macbook Pros? My old iMac G5 (pre isight) reads and records these just fine but my 2.16 ghz Macbook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo won't accept DVDs that were recorded on the G5 with either iDVD or Toast 8, nor will it accept these as blank DVDs, it just spits them back out.
I've recorded numerous CDs and single layer DVDs on the Macbook but I think this is the first time I've tried a DL DVD in it. Could this be a warranty issue? I still have active applecare on this thing. |

Woo, I burned myself! Every time I use this oven, I'm always really careful, 'cause the door is pretty much at arm level. And the one time I'm not, I burn myself. Awesome! It's actually not that bad, but I'm a huge wuss, so I was freaking out for a little while there, heh. There's just a small red blotchy... uh, blotch on my arm for the time being. |

http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/archives/019899.html Man #1, in chaise lounge: Men and women have totally different criteria for attractiveness.
Man #2, also in chaise lounge: How so?
Man #1: A guy can look like a fucking bullfrog in a Beatle wig, but if he's charming and especially if he has money, women will be all over him.
Man #2: Yeah, especially if he has money.
Man #1: But let's say a really hot chick walked past us right now in a thong, and another woman says to us, "watch out for her, she's been in and out of mental institutions."
Man #2: We'd still want to fuck her.
Man #1: Exactly.
Man #2: Point well taken.

| Eye teeth? Seriously? PLEASE DON'T LOOK AT ME. |

 Blind man sees after having a tooth implanted into his eye. During the procedure, a minute section of a patient's tooth is removed, reshaped and chiselled through to grip the man-made lens which is then placed in its core. It is implanted under an eyelid where it becomes covered in tissue. The process requires a living tooth as an implant because doctors suggest there are chances the eye would reject a plastic equivalent. So a canine - which is the best option due to its shape and size - was taken out of Mr Jones' mouth. A patch of skin is then taken from the inside of the cheek and placed in the eye for two months, where it gradually acquires its own blood supply. The tooth segment is finally transplanted into the eye socket. The flap of grafted skin is then partially lifted from the eye and placed over its new sturdy base. Finally, surgeons cut a hole in the grafted cornea to let light through.

| Ellie Frazetta, 1935-2009 |
[Jul. 19th, 2009|01:46 am] |
I just learned that Eleanor "Ellie" Frazetta passed away on the 17th, at the age of 74. She was married to famed fantasy artist Frank Frazetta; the couple were wed in 1956.
I'm told Ellie was a devout Christian and a smart businesswoman. Most Frazetta fans are also aware that she was the model/inspiration for many of the beautiful women Mr. Frazetta portrayed in his work.
What most don't know, however, is that Ellie was also a talented artist in her own right. I hope her family won't mind me showing off this watercolor of hers, which she painted at the age of 21:
Nice work, eh? Wish I could have seen her version of Shere Kahn.
Several people share fond remembrances of Ellie at The Beat.
My condolences to her husband and the rest of her family. |
