Extraordinary collection of color photographs taken between 1909 and 1912. In those years, photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) undertook a photographic survey of the Russian Empire with the support of Tsar Nicholas II. He used a specialized camera to capture three black and white images in fairly quick succession, using red, green and blue filters, allowing them to later be recombined and projected with filtered lanterns to show near true color images. The high quality of the images, combined with the bright colors, make it difficult for viewers to believe that they are looking more than 100 years back in time.

The future's bright for Emmy Rossum, and on Thursday... the fuchsia was bright too. Rossum, 26, positively skipped down the sidewalk in Beverly Hills after a visit to Judi's Deli - one of her favourite eateries in the Los Angeles area.

After the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on 6th August 1945, with landscapes demolished, soils charred and radiation rampant, Dr. Harold Jacobsen, a scientist from the Manhattan Project, told the Washington Post that Hiroshima will be barren of life and nothing will grow for 75 years. But nature had other plans. The following spring, to everyone's surprise and delight, new shoots were seen springing up amongst the debris of the city. Those new saplings provided a powerful message to the survivors of the atomic bomb and gave them hope that they could rebuild their city.

Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen designed the public structure known as the Lion Monument, which is also referred to as the Dying Lion or simply the Lion of Lucerne, in remembrance of the massacre that occurred during the French Revolution and to honor the brave men who lost their lives in the ambush.

The iconic red telephone boxes found all over the UK are beginning to disappear, but thanks to the effort of local communities and British Telecom, hundreds of them have been recycled into libraries. In 2002 there were 92,000 BT phone boxes on the streets of Britain. The figure has now fallen to 51,500, while just 11,000 of these are traditional red phone boxes. During the last 20 years, the company has stripped thousands of the iconic landmarks from locations across the country as people switched to using mobile phones and Internet.

Photographer Monica Denevan was born in San Francisco, California, but, more often than not, you're likely to find her traveling around the world, particularly to Burma and China. The first time she went to Burma, she says, "I remember being struck by the meditative beauty of the landscape, the sensory chaos of the cities, and the quiet elegance of the people." Quickly realizing that news coverage preferred a negative portrayal of Burma, Denevan decided to produce a body of work that documents life beyond the chaos.

Italian travel photographer Gabriele Galimberti is rarely in the same place for any amount of time, he’s too busy traversing the 4 corners of the globe in an effort to hunt out those untold stories and share his experiences with the world. Take for example his most recent photographic series titled ‘Toy Stories‘, whereby he visited countries such as Thailand, Italy, Latvia and even the likes of China and Zambia with a sole purpose – to photograph children with their most prized possessions (a vastly different project than this) “At the beginning in the rich and more developed countries, they wouldn’t want me to touch their toys, and I would need more time before they would let me play with them. But in poor countries, it was much easier. Even if they only had two or three toys, they didn’t really care.” His adventure took 18 months, countless long-haul flights, numerous locations and a involve a lot a stack of fun. Below are just a few samples of his wonderful & insightful work that we think really captures the spirit of his subjects. It does make you wonder, if he photographed you as a child, what toys would you have had on display?

Every DVD released these days comes packaged with bonus footage – whether that be an ‘alternate ending’, commentary from the Director or interviews with the cast themselves. But rarely do you ever get to see the ‘true’ making of the film. What happens on set, the techniques they use & the props they build are often closely guarded secrets. Fundamentally film studios don’t want to give away their tricks of the trade as it were! But in a world of CGI and 3D effects, you still need actors, crews and more importantly direction to piece it all together. Here’s 16 images (in addition to our 20 Images From Classic Movies post) that give you an inside perspective as to what happens behind the camera on iconic movie sets such as The Terminator, Iron Man, Star Wars, JAWS, The Muppets, Titanic, The Dark Knight and Inception. We’ve even included recent releases like Tarantino’s impressive Django. There will always been an element of magic & illusion when it comes to making movies, but as you’re about to see, that magic rests entirely in the hands, vision & imagination of those working away on set.

You know what they say about a woman scorned. Well, thanks to the internet, such feminine fury can now have a world-wide reach. A British Columbia woman whose husband left her for a “piece of trash” decided to extract some revenge on the philanderer by selling all of his stuff. So when he went away for the weekend with his “floozie” she, unbeknownst to him, posted on ad on Craigslist offering all of his possessions for sale. Included on the list were “lots of tools he didn’t know how to use” and a “brand new sliding glass door that he never installed.” However, don’t expect to find any of his clothes at this unique garage sale. She already burned them, although she writes that shoppers can view their ashes free of charge. The woman, who has also filed for divorce, probably won’t get to keep all the money from the sale, which will be divided along with any unsold assets. But she says she is doing it for the look on his face when he returns home from his illicit weekend to find all of his stuff gone. Check out the entire ad, which includes not-so-subtle digs at his sexual prowess below.

As a sports fans there are things we would love to see that probably will never happen. I would pay plenty of money to see some of these events take place. Would you pay to see these things happen in sports?

I know what you are think, Athletes are all over paid. Well you are probably right. However; in a sports world where players are paid highly for what they do on a daily basis these players are getting shafted and deserved to be paid a lot more than some of the other athletes making more then them. They earned their big contracts with consistent play but aren't getting the contracts they deserve.

In case you went on your annual cave retreat this week and missed the news, there is a new pope in town! In case yesterday was your annual one-day cave retreat, there’s a new pope! After conclaving it up for a relatively short while, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina was declared the new pope. He’s the first South American Pope and also the first Pope Francis.

Obviously, the internet isn’t going to just let this lie around. Here are the best memes (including one from Bryan Cranston himself) and the most amazing new pope GIF probably ever.
