| Amazing Steampunk Diving Suits and Submarines | | 2008-07-30 10:15:49 | |
The Upcool site has some mind-blowing pictures of old underwater diving suits and submarines.
Some of the diving suits can be described as distinctively ‘steampunk’ in appearance, even though the term refers to a genre of fantasy fiction set in the Victorian era.
I really love this particular suit. Just imagine what that hook can do.

| Mafia in Final Fantasy Versus XIII? Suits and Italian text | | 2008-07-24 05:49:00 | | Final Fantasy Versus XIII Inserito originariamente da Abriael Kotaku just posted a quite awesome leaked trailer for Final Fantasy Versus XIII. The theme definately seems to have a lot to do with mafia stereotypes, including lots of men in black pinstriped suits and thypically italian architecture that seems to be taken from a post card of Florence or Venice. The text as well, seem to confirm such impression, given the fact that it's written in Italian language (thing that isn't so uncommon, after all, given how the Japanese often associate Italy and it's language to fantasy).Maybe the fans from all over the world are wondering what such text means, so here's an handy translation to fire up your speculation:I Guardiani -> The GuardiansI Fuggitivi -> The FugitivesUn Regno in Rovina -> A Ruined KingdomL'Invocatore -> The SummonerIl Nuovo Mondo -> The New WorldHere's my interpretation: the two main characters (the black haired guy is a Summoner) are running away trough a ruined kin | | By: Classy Gamer | | |

| Donnie Darko Gets a Sequel (From People in Stupid Man-Suits) | | 2008-05-11 21:36:00 | | The unthinkable is happening. It has been reported that yet another sequel that should NEVER be made is indeed being made anyway, which in itself isn't surprising. Donnie Darko, the acclaimed cult hit from 2001, is getting a sequel, S. Darko, and...starts filming this week, reportedly. The report says "Set seven years after the first film, little sister Samantha Darko and her best friend Corey are now eighteen and on a roadtrip to Los Angeles when they are plagued by bizarre visions."No. Just....no.I love Donnie Darko. It's a great movie (by the way, I may review it sometime. It's on my list, basically...) But all you have to do is see the movie and realize NO, there should NOT be a sequel. Just...no. There should never be one. And if you have not seen this movie before, do it. NOW. I'm also confused about Richard Kelly not being involved in it. Did...he approve of this movie?? Or does he have no say in the matter at all?? I assume if he did, he would not allow this to be made....Auy.. | | By: Up+Start | | |

| Choose the Car Insurance Policy that Suits Your Needs | | 2008-01-16 08:34:33 | | Choose the Car Insurance Policy that Suits Your NeedsBy: Smith JamesAnybody who owns a vehicle is either thinking about getting the best deal in car insurance, or is thinking about the next premium that has to be paid. Young and old, seasoned as well as amateur drivers, all think and discuss about car insurance and their aim is to get the best and the cheapest deal available. The market is flooded with various car insurance schemes that cover various aspects. It is important to first analyse what coverage areas are you looking at and then deciding upon the policy.The cover that is most in demand is the bodily injury liability. In this type of coverage the other party, including the drivers and the passengers, is compensated with money. It also covers passengers in your car. It is considered the most basic type of coverage and helps in preventing lawsuits, even if you were not the cause of the accident.Property damage liability is also a coverage that people look for in a car insurance policy. this coverage pays the other person a sum to repair his vehicle in case of an accident. The third type of coverage is the personal injury protection. It is not that popular, simply because injuries and other health problems are covered by health and life insurance policies.But, it is important to be cautious and not get carried away by any insurance company that is offering a cheap car insurance policy. All the provisions, coverage areas and terms and conditions must be read carefully, possibly in the presence of a legal expert in order to help you understand the legal language. The other important thing is to ensure the credibility of the company, because there are a few companies that may even take you for a ride. It is always better to take the policy from a reputed insurance company or a reliable insurance agent to get the best deals and coverage at the minimum premiums.

The demand of tax bodies is to call null and void the deals with company’s stocks. If the fault of the holders is proved, Russneft stocks will probably go to state ownership. The suits were filed in late April, but the information has emerged only recently. The defendants in the suits of tax bodies are 11 firms that have once been or still remain Russneft holders. The end owners of the company used the firms to scatter its stocks, tax bodies insist. The suits haven’t been admitted to court procedures, as there are a number of shortcomings in them, said representative of the Arbitration Court. Russneft declines to comment on tax suits. In May, however, it became known that Interior Ministry’s investigators accused Mikhail Gutseriev of illegal business activities and enforced the recognizance of not to leave on him.
