Skydive From Space Update 5

It's definitely on this year!! YES!
From the Red Bull Stratos website yesterday:
"The jump will happen sometime this year. I know you’re thinking, “how am I going to mark it on my calendar with a vague answer like that?” I can tell you the team has made really good progress in a matter of months, but they need to run more tests. We’re launching out of Roswell, NM so the weather will be another determining factor. Believe me, when it’s time to launch we’ll give a big shout out."

Oval Brewing Company - A Kickstarter Campaign

So I thought I'd help out a really good cause, it is for beer after all!
I guess this is aimed at all of our US readers, in particular all of you from OH...IO!!
I had the pleasure of trying one of OBC's early recipes and also meeting Adam last year. I've dabbled in home brewing and possibly some of you have too, but have you ever dreamt about owning your own brewery?

The Oval Brewing Company is trying to reach a target of $30,000 by April 1st 2012 to be able to get funding from the Kickstarter funding platform. By reaching this goal, they can take the big step into production where beer can flow freely and the world will be a better place. They are halfway there as I write this and getting involved does bring rewards. Check out their Kickstarter page for the lowdown on how you can get involved.

Paintings Worth Millions Stolen From Paris Museum

A thief stole five paintings possibly worth hundreds of millions of euros, including major works by Picasso and Matisse, in a brazen overnight heist at a Paris modern art museum, police and prosecutors said Thursday.

The paintings disappeared early Thursday from the Paris Museum of Modern Art, across the Seine River from the Eiffel Tower in one of the French capital's most chic and tourist-frequented neighborhoods.

"Le pigeon aux petits-pois" (The Pigeon with the Peas) an ochre and brown Cubist oil painting by Pablo Picasso, was worth an estimated euro23 million, and "La Pastorale" (Pastoral), an oil painting of nudes on a hillside by Henri Matisse about euro15 million.

The other paintings stolen were "L'olivier pres de l'Estaque" (Olive Tree near Estaque) by Georges Braque; "La femme a l'eventail" (Woman with a Fan) by Amedeo Modigliani; and "Nature morte aux chandeliers" (Still Life with Chandeliers) by Fernand Leger.

Alice Farren-Bradley of the Art Loss Registry in London said the Paris theft "appears to be one of the biggest" art heists ever, considering the estimated value, the prominence of the artists and the high profile of the museum.
