Solid titanium construction, including the solid lug bars, large numerals on the dial for easy readability, tritium tubes for night or low light viewing, sapphire crystal, and a dependable quartz movement with a 5 year battery. Bertucci envisions making the ultimate field watch, and they want to do it with pride. This is why the watches are designed in the USA, straps made in the USA, the packaging made in the USA, by a USA owned company. Yes, the movement is Swiss and the cases are produced in Asia, which you would expect at this price point of $439.00 — via Youtube

Keepers at Highland Wildlife Park are excited to announce the arrival of a Muskox calf. Mum, Karin, who was born in the Czech Republic in 2002, gave birth to the male calf on 2 June 2014. This is a major event for the Park as Muskox are difficult to breed due to high neonatal mortality rates. The last Muskox calf to survive until adulthood in the UK was born in 1992 — via ZooBorns

No piñatas were harmed in the production of this rug. Made from synthetic felt, approximately 3” long. While it could probably stand up to being stepped on occasionally, this rug is an art piece that is not designed to stand up to regular foot traffic. It can easily be hung on a wall, so put a note in the seller instructions if you’d like some hanging loops attached — via Etsy
Wonder Woman is entirely charted because of the colour work, this makes it easier to lengthen/shorten and adjust sizes for a perfect fit. It was designed specifically around Cascade’s Hollywood yarn, since the glitzy shimmer is simply perfect for a superhero sweater — via Ravelry
In Jon Bentley’s latest oil paintings, Peter and Jane, the Lost Episodes
, he succeeds in recontextualising commonplace scenes with unexpected and absurdly humorous interventions. Jon recalls his first encounter with the iconic Peter and Jane books: Like many people of my generation, I learned to read with Peter, Jane, Mummy, Daddy and Pat the dog. As I struggled with the unfamiliar letters, my eyes where invariably drawn to the picture on the opposite page, full of strange details that drew me in and seemed to suggest a richer more mysterious narrative than the prosaic stories and dialogue on the written page
. Years later, Jon revisited those images and began to construct a series of alternative and surreal narratives — via My Life in Art

Canada’s wildlife is at it again, but this time they’re playing out a classic scene from literature. It’s The Count of Monte Cristo, or perhaps The Shawshank Redemption, zoo style.
In The Count of Monte Cristo, the Mad Priest miscalculates the route that his tunnel must take to break him out of imprisonment at the Château d’If and instead winds up digging into another prisoner’s cell.
Taking a page from Alexandre Dumas, a pack of 5 grey wolves at the Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg managed to dig a tunnel straight into the polar bear enclosure. Whoops.
Luckily for all carnivores involved, the wolves simply walked around the bear enclosure while the two female polar bears couldn’t even be bothered to wake from their slumber. Zoo staff discovered the predator party the following morning — via redwolf.newsvine.com

Your Shoes Are Rubbish from Billy Turvey on Vimeo.
This Project is about the out of sight and out of mind legacy of the modern consumer. Taking the shoe as a prime example: What used to be a hand crafted item made to last and designed to be repairable, now spends an almost insignificant amount of time on the ground doing what it was made for.
As soon as the first component on a modern shoe fails, the pair is often discarded. The mass produced shoe is now essentially disposable. After you’ve finished with them they’re just another (two) piece(s) of rubbish that are likely to still be around long after your own body has decomposed; we’re all leaving behind ourselves a rubbish legacy. With the development of plastics came a utopian promise to change the world, and change the world it has, plastic has become so materially ingrained in our lives and environment that it’s becoming increasingly indistinguishable and inseparable from nature. We took this as a starting point and set out to mine this plastic pollution, we collected rubbish from the west and the south coast of England and the banks of the river Thames. Following this we made a pair of shoes out of the rubbish that all our consumer goods are destined to become. A satirical critique of the legacy we consumers leave in our wake. Far from suggesting we all wear shoes made from rubbish, the project is a talking point around which to stage a conversation about the consumerism game we’re all caught up in
This is a cake I was commissioned to do by one of my Uni friends. We did both our Zoology degrees together: I was on the terrestrial side of it, where she was marine biology focused. So I shouldn’t have been surprised when she asked me for a marine-themed cake — via deviantART
