I've been tempted to get my DNA tested from 23andMe for a while but, at $200 dollars plus an extra $9 a month for the personal genome service, it always felt like an unnecessary expense. Well, today is DNA day and they are offering it for free. You only pay for the kit shipping and the personal genome service subscription (1 year commitment). I've already pulled the trigger and my kit arrives in a few days. Check out their website and look at all the incredible information you can get from just a little bit of saliva. I don't usually endorse services that I haven't already tried but I've researched this company thoroughly and can tell you that they are totally legit. Get to it!

Openfilm Announces "Get It Made" Independent Film Finalists

Openfilm.com, the online platform that connects independent filmmakers to the professional community and helps them find an audience for their films, today announced the six finalists in its 1st Get It Made short film competition. The announcement was made here at the opening of the 6th Annual HollyShorts Film Festival where the entries will be screened on August 11.

The six finalists -- the "Top Six Flix" -- will now move on to the next round of the competition where the Openfilm Advisory Board, comprised of award-winning actors and filmmakers James Caan, Scott Caan, Robert Duvall and Mark Rydell, will judge each film and ultimately choose the final winner.

Each of the six finalists will receive feedback from the Advisory Board, and the winner will receive $50,000 in cash and $200,000 in financing to develop his or her short into a feature film with Openfilm Studios. The Get It Made competition commits $1 million over the next year and a half to support independent filmmakers, with a new winner selected every five months.

Based on the Openfilm community voting, which ended at midnight August 1, the Top Six Flix are:

-- "Code Name: Operation Black Thunder" (Edgar Jimz, director -- Staten Island, NY) When the intelligence agencies are infiltrated by a terrorist organization and can no longer be trusted, seven disgraced New York City cops are called upon to stop the worst terrorist attack in US history. One cop rises to the challenge and becomes a vigilante who saves us all.

-- "Dead Cat Bounce" (Daric Gates, director -- Burbank, CA) When brokers underestimate the bottom of a falling stock market, the resulting brief rise and subsequent freefall of stocks is called the dead cat bounce. As the global economy verges on disaster, an ambitious broker uncovers a startling secret placing him at odds with the underground society in control of the world market for centuries.

-- "Hawaiian Ghost Story" (Grant Wheeler, director -- Honolulu, HI) This animated adventure tells the story of three best friends who enlist the help of a spiritual guide to rid their home of a terrifying ghost named Namiko. When one of the boys is drawn into the spirit world, his friends must solve the ghost mystery before his stay becomes permanent.

-- "HELP" (Val Lauren, director -- Los Angeles, CA) Follow one man on the night he embarks on a desperate mission to save his dying mother's life.

-- "Rosewood" (Marvin Choi, director -- Norwalk, CA) Paul is a college student who gets his first job as a part-time dishwasher at an old diner named Rosewood. To survive his first night on the job he must contend with the tyrannical head chef and calloused kitchen staff and learn what it takes to work in a real restaurant.

-- "Untitled for James" (Ali Tabibnejad, director -- Missoula, MT) James' father was a brilliant inventor who upon his death bequeathed his son an unusual inheritance. If you received a dream generator that allowed you to start over with a clean slate, would you be able to resist?

The HollyShorts Film Festival's screening of the Get It Made Top Six Flix will be held August 11, at Laemmle Sunset 5, 8000 Sunset Blvd. Tickets can be purchased online now at http://www.hollyshorts.com. The Top Six Flix are also available for viewing online at http://www.openfilm.com/videos/?&f=500&q=1.

Mess with the bull...

2010-05-24T23:23:00.001-07:00

Spanish matador dickhead Julio Aparicio needed two operations after he was horrifically deservedly gored through the throat during a bullfight in Madrid.

The half-ton bull, called Opiparo, struck after Julio Aparicio lost his footing and stumbled while carrying out a pass with his red cape in a packed Las Ventas bullring.

One of the animal's horns tore into his throat and punched through the bottom of his mouth as the crowd screamed in horror at the bullfight last night.

Good for Opiparo!

The force of the impact lifted the matador into the air, puncturing his tongue and fracturing his jawbone, before the bull threw him to the sand.
Fellow matadors sadists dashed to the rescue and managed to distract the bull so medics could get to Mr Aparicio.
The 41-year-old managed to struggle to his feet, but collapsed with blood pouring down his neck and had to be carried from the ring.
He had an emergency one-hour operation in the Las Ventas medical centre, before being transfered to a Hospital in Madrid, where doctors performed an emergency tracheotomy and worked to reconstruct his jaw, tongue and the roof of his mouth during a six-hour operation.

Chile Earthquake May Have Shortened Days on Earth

2010-03-02T19:43:00.001-08:00

The massive 8.8 earthquake that struck Chile may have changed the entire Earth's rotation and shortened the length of days on our planet, a NASA scientist said Monday.
The quake, the seventh strongest earthquake in recorded history, hit Chile Saturday and should have shortened the length of an Earth day by 1.26 milliseconds, according to research scientist Richard Gross at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
"Perhaps more impressive is how much the quake shifted Earth's axis," NASA officials said in a Monday update.
The computer model used by Gross and his colleagues to determine the effects of the Chile earthquake effect also found that it should have moved Earth's figure axis by about 3 inches (8 cm or 27 milliarcseconds).
The Earth's figure axis is not the same as its north-south axis, which it spins around once every day at a speed of about 1,000 mph (1,604 kph).
The figure axis is the axis around which the Earth's mass is balanced. It is offset from the Earth's north-south axis by about 33 feet (10 meters).
Strong earthquakes have altered Earth's days and its axis in the past. The 9.1 Sumatran earthquake in 2004, which set off a deadly tsunami, should have shortened Earth's days by 6.8 microseconds and shifted its axis by about 2.76 inches (7 cm, or 2.32 milliarcseconds).
One Earth day is about 24 hours long. Over the course of a year, the length of a day normally changes gradually by one millisecond. It increases in the winter, when the Earth rotates more slowly, and decreases in the summer, Gross has said in the past.
The Chile earthquake was much smaller than the Sumatran temblor, but its effects on the Earth are larger because of its location. Its epicenter was located in the Earth's mid-latitudes rather than near the equator like the Sumatran event.
The fault responsible for the 2010 Chile quake also slices through Earth at a steeper angle than the Sumatran quake's fault, NASA scientists said.
"This makes the Chile fault more effective in moving Earth's mass vertically and hence more effective in shifting Earth's figure axis," NASA officials said.
Gross said his findings are based on early data available on the Chile earthquake. As more information about its characteristics are revealed, his prediction of its effects will likely change.
The Chile earthquake has killed more than 700 people and caused widespread devastation in the South American country.
Several major telescopes in Chile's Atacama Desert have escaped damage, according to the European Southern Observatory managing them.
A salt-measuring NASA satellite instrument destined to be installed on an Argentinean satellite was also undamaged in the earthquake, JPL officials said.
The Aquarius instrument was in the city of Bariloche, Argentina, where it is being installed in the Satelite de Aplicaciones Cientificas (SAC-D) satellite. The satellite integration facility is about 365 miles (588 km) from the Chile quake's epicenter.
The Aquarius instrument is designed to provide monthly global maps of the ocean's salt concentration in order to track current circulation and its role in climate change.
