This Chainmail vest is themed around Princess Celestia the vest is mainly a frost white to match her coat and has her Cutie Mark adorning both the front and back. The shoulders are in the colors of her mane and tail and they were done in a diagonal pattern, but I noticed when they drape over the shoulder they appear to curve/wave which I thought was cool. I didn’t feel like making full sleeves for several reasons so these shoulder pieces are more for a flourish — via deviantART

In homage to the fearless Captain Nemo, this watch shows the dramatic attack of the giant squid from 20,000 leagues under the sea (Vingt mille lieues sous les mers
in the original title). The endless battle between squid and man depicts the time, from hour to hour each appears to be gaining the upper hand. The two men being held by the squid indicate the hours and minutes — via Watchismo
Loki is a very special red fox who came to Turtle Bay Exploration Park at 6 weeks old. He was found as an orphan and could not be released back into the wild. Being so young, he had to go home every night with the animal trainers. Since the What Does the Fox Say
video came out, we decided it was an important educational message to let people know what their vocalisations really sound like. Working to put his talking
on cue this video shows the first time we worked on it with him. He is quite the character and with 28 different vocalisations, he sure has a lot to say — via Youtube
Telecom New Zealand is set to sell off AAPT at a fraction of the price it paid for the company back in 1999, with TPG stepping out to buy the company for AU$450 million.
Telecom NZ this morning confirmed to the Australian Securities Exchange that TPG would pick up the business telecommunications and cloud company by the end of February 2014.
The transaction was said to be free of conditions precedent
.
It had been reported that Telecom NZ had been looking to sell the Australian business since at least October, with Goldman Sachs recruited to manage the transaction.
Including the AU$60 million iiNet paid for AAPT’s consumer division in 2010, the total value for AAPT is significantly lower than the AU$2.2 billion that Telecom New Zealand paid for it in the peak of the dot com boom in 1999.
AAPT’s revenue has declined over the last few years, with the company this year reporting earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation of AU$57 million, down by AU$10 million on the previous financial year — via redwolf.newsvine.com
A hotel guest emerged naked from a storage cupboard of a Premier Inn with a fire extinguisher hose up his bottom, a court was told.
Joseph Small, 20, stripped off and grabbed the appliance on the fourth floor corridor of the budget hotel.
He then put the hose between his buttocks and began touching himself, Westminster magistrates’ court heard.
Small also urinated on the carpet before a hotel worker wrapped him in a towel and escorted him down to reception.
He then hurled abuse at the Bangladeshi member of staff, telling him: This country has been taken over by al-Qaeda — go back to Pakistan.
In the lobby, Small again urinated in front of tourists, shouting: I come from Sheffield in England.
He caused £450 damage, the court was told — via redwolf.newsvine.com

Fossil Rim Wildlife Centre is proud to announce the birth of three new cheetah cubs. The litter was born on 12 October 2013 and consisted of one male and two females. All appear to be in good health.
Their mother, Gracie, is a first-time mother who has proved to be a natural at taking care of her young. The father is Bruce, an 8-year-old male born and hand-raised at Fossil Rim. This was his first litter of cubs and animal care staff is pleasantly surprised by his ability to reproduce; this is uncommon for hand-raised males. Bruce and his brother Moose were pulled from their mom for hand-raising due to illness at a young age.

Assuming you don’t put your faith in ancient weapons and hokey religions, your only option is to pack a good blaster at your side — and what better blaster than Han Solo’s very own DL-44?
And now it could be yours, if you have at least $300,000 to spend. Yes, the 275mm long prop used by Harrison Ford and, it’s claimed, Mark Hamill in The Empire Strikes Back, is up for grabs online.
Ford used it in Return of the Jedi too: it seems Lucasfilm’s props people kept the one used in Empire for future use. In both films, this non-firing model was used for long shots — close-up work required the presence of a second prop that was able to trigger a muzzle flash.
Alas the well-worn gun on sale isn’t original DL-44 prop put to good use beating Green Greedo to the draw in Star Wars, though it was formed from a cast made of the first weapon and as such, says auctioneer Invaluable, has the same serial number. The first DL-44 was build out of an old Mauser C96 — via redwolf.newsvine.com
