Magnitude 6.0 - SOUTH ISLAND OF NEW ZEALAND

Magnitude 6.0 - SOUTH ISLAND OF NEW ZEALAND: "The M6.0 June 13, 2011 South Island, New Zealand earthquake is a continuing part of the earthquake sequence that initiated with the M 7.0 September 3, 2010 Darfield, New Zealand event. The June 13, M 6.0 earthquake is a dominantly strike-slip faulting event near the eastern end of the inferred rupture of the 21 February 2011 M 6.1 earthquake. Both this M 6.0 quake and the previous M 6.1 event have an inferred fault plane striking approximately east-northeast. The entire earthquake sequence is broadly associated with regional plate boundary deformation as the Pacific and Australia plates interact in the central South Island, New Zealand.

This latest earthquake, similar to the February 21 event, is close to the main population centers of Christchurch, New Zealand."

Question Of The Day: What Do You Think Of Mel Gibson's New Gothic Girlfriend?

Question Of The Day: What Do You Think Of Mel Gibson's New Gothic Girlfriend?: "That’s the frustrating thing about this whole Mel Gibson fiasco. He really is good at acting, and he really has a lot more to contribute than being tabloid fodder. Something tells me this decision won’t continue his trip back toward credibility.




Word is Mel Gibson is getting cozy with a Greek gothic model. According to TMZ, her name is Stella Mouzi, and she recently strutted across the red carpet at the Los Angeles Fetish Film Festival Awards"

This Dad Will Keep His New iPad Father's Day Gift

This Dad Will Keep His New iPad Father's Day Gift: "15 million iPads sold later, I began dropping not-so-subtle hints to my wife and kids that the revolutionary gadget might make a splendid birthday/Father's Day gift (lucky for me, those dates are in close sequence).

Since the iPad 2 is not only slimmer and lighter but also packs an A4 processor that's twice as fast, double the RAM, the upgraded operating system iOS 4.3, and front- and rear-facing cameras, it was definitely worth the wait; all the more so since I'll probably be using the iPad 2 when there's an iPad 7. (Although I write about the latest gadgets,"

10 Child Stars Who Became Broken Adults

10 Child Stars Who Became Broken Adults: "Earning $50,000 a week must be tough when you’re a teenager. What on earth do you spend it on? Cocaine, apparently. Phillips, daughter of John from The Mamas And The Papas, was snorting so much of the fun stuff that she became skeletal and developed rotten teeth during the sixth season of the long running show that made her famous – the ’70s hit One Day At A Time"...




...a refusal to enter rehab which culminated in her dismissal from the show, two near-fatal overdoses and an on-set collapse. Luckily Phillips appears to be coping much better nowadays, 

10 Child Stars Who Became Broken Adults

10 Child Stars Who Became Broken Adults: "To Culkin’s credit, he doesn’t particularly seem to have spent as much time as his fellow child stars inhaling bad quality drugs and turning up in mugshots with tags on his legs, but if you look at a picture of him as a sweet little boy in the Home Alone days and then look at him now, it’s like something out of a B-movie. Indeed, the zombie-skinned former child star has been far from squeaky clean, having been arrested in 2004 for possession of a veritable party-mix of illegal and prescription drugs. He was subsequently charged and briefly imprisoned."

10 Child Stars Who Became Broken Adults

10 Child Stars Who Became Broken Adults: "After being part of the squeaky clean neon nightmare that was The Mickey Mouse Club, Britney became the most famous female face in the world in 1998 after releasing her debut single “Baby One More Time”, aged just 16. What followed was a prime example of a child star meltdown in adult life. In 2007 she had what has been described as an inevitable breakdown in front of the mass of paparazzi who followed her around for her entire career; was charged with a hit-and-run; spent some time beating a photographer’s car with an umbrella; and lost custody of her kids to her ex-husband Kevin Federline."

10 Child Stars Who Became Broken Adults

10 Child Stars Who Became Broken Adults: "Alli Fowler in the TV series Another World. Cue a deal with Disney in a remake of The Parent Trap, aged 12 and she was a bona fide child starlet. What’s more, after a healthy career spanning her teens during which she played safe, high school orientated roles, who could possibly have imagined that the red-headed cutie could do wrong? Turns out she could. In her early twenties Lohan has been arrested countless times for drug, drink and driving related offenses and regularly appears on glossy magazine pages looking like a starving red donkey with meth-face."
