Hey you all, this is to get you in the spirit, perhaps??! Hey you, @nayarivera, @jennaushkowitx, @msleamichele, @totle9, this is to make you smile. To tomorrow, and no more sickness!
The Internet: Let’s jump straight to the very heart of the matter: why do you hate Jeff Jarvis?
The Critic: I certainly don’t hate him! But I do have rather complex feelings about Jeff. Shouldn’t we all? I’ve really tried not to pay any attention to him for a couple of years — he couldn’t last…

”What a Wonderful World”
Every great montage begins with a great song turned on its head. ”What a Wonderful World” was actually co-written by Bob Thiele, the father of Sons of Anarchy’s music supervisor Bob Thiele Jr. ”I just thought if there was ever a place where we could use that song, a wedding would probably be it,” creator Kurt Sutter laughs. ”There was a part of me that was a little nervous about besmirching Bob Thiele Sr.’s memory with having a montage kill sequence while his song played. But Bob Thiele Jr. was thrilled and took the challenge and completely made it work.” The Kills’ Alison Mosshart recorded the song specifically for the show from her studio outside Dublin.
After reading the script for the final montage — which begins with Opie [(Ryan Hurst)] and his porn-star bride Lyla [(Winter Ave Zoli)] dancing at their wedding — exec producer Paris Barclay, who directed the episode, thought of the show’s history with the W.B. Yeats poem ”The Second Coming” (they’ve named episodes after segments of it). It begins with the line ”Turning and turning in the widening gyre,” which gave Barclay the idea to encircle things like the happy couple with the camera movement and to think of the action as unfolding like a dance. ”Even if it’s something as sweet as dancing in a circle that turns into killing Russians brutally in slow motion, it could all seem like part of the same poem,” Barclay says.

Titan’s Hazy History and the Potential for Life
Saturn’s moon Titan is the only moon in our solar system known to possess an atmosphere of any significance.
Ten times thicker than Earth’s, Titan’s atmosphere extends nearly 370 miles (600 km) above its frigid surface. It’s a literal chemical factory, where nitrogen and methane are zapped by the sun’s ultraviolet rays and transformed into organic molecules, some of which descend to the moon’s surface while others rise up above the clouds, creating a bluish high-level haze of hydrocarbons.
Titan’s atmosphere forms an opaque orange shroud that covers it and hides many of its surface features from view, keeping much of its details a mystery until the arrival of the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft in 2004.
Apollo 7 launched on this day, 1968
Why should the U.S. have a space program? John Kennedy provided one answer when he suggested that great nations are constantly renewed when they undertake great endeavors. The truth is, that even in this age of science, man needs symbols and still puts up shrines to express his aspirations.
