Ogie Alcasid and Regine Velasquez Wedding took place just this afternoon, December
22, 2010, at the beautiful Terrazas de Punta Fuego Beach Resort in Nasugbu, Batangas.
Two big names in showbiz industry, Ogie, 43, and Regine, 40, tied the knot in what has been dubbed by GMA 7 as "Wedding of the Decade".
Regine was so beautiful in her red Monique Lhuillier gown, which costs half a million pesos, and as you can see in the photo above, Regine was wearing a pair of black biker boots underneath.
As reported by GMA 7, President Noynoy Aquino was among the groomsmen along with Dingdong Avanzado, Michael V and Janno Gibbs.
No ABS-CBN execs were spotted at the wedding but GMA 7 bosses were of course there and even TV5 owner Manny Pangilinan, who were among the principal sponsors.
Other principal sponsors included Jose Mari Chan, Vicky Belo, Orly Ilacad, German Moreno, Vic del Rosario, Tony Tuviera and Sharon Cuneta (but didn't make it on the wedding day).

Ten Most Poisonous Animals in the World...Photos and Info..
Box Jelly Fish
The top prize for The World Most Venomous Animal,would go to the Box Jellyfish.
It has caused at least 5,567 recorded deaths since 1954.
Their venom is among the most deadly in the world. Its toxins attack the heart, nervous system, and skin cells. And the worst part of it is that jelly box venom is so overpoweringly painful, that human victims go in shock, drown or die of heart failure before even reaching shore. Survivors experience pain weeks after the contact with box jellies...
You have virtually no chance to survive the venomous sting, unless treated immediately. After a sting, vinegar should be applied for a minimum of 30 seconds. Vinegar has acetic acid, which disables the box jellys nematocysts that have not yet discharged into the bloodstream (though it will not alleviate the pain). Wearing panty hose while swimming is also a good prevention measure since it can prevent jellies from being able to harm your legs.
Jelly box can be found in the waters around Asia and Australia.
King Cobra
The King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is the worlds longest venomous snake - growing up to 5.6 m (18.5 ft) in length.Ophiophagus, literally means snake-eater as it eats other snakes.. One single bite of this deadly snake can easily kill a human.This snake is even capable of killing a full-grown Asian Elephant within 3 hours if the larger animal is bitten in a vulnerable area such as the trunk.
Its venom is not as toxic as other venomous snakes, but King Cobra is capable of injecting 5 times more venom than black mamba and can result in mortality up to 5 times faster than that of the black mamba.
It is quite widespread, ranging across South and South-east Asia, living in dense highland forests.
Marbled Cone Snail
This little beautiful looking Marbled Cone snail can be as deadly as any other animal on this list.
One drop of its venom is so powerful that it can kill more than 20 humans.
If you ever happen to be in warm salt water environment (where these snails are often found) and see it, dont even think of picking it up. Of course, the true purpose of its venom is to catch its prey.
Symptoms of a cone snail sting can start immediately or can be delayed in onset for days.
It results in intense pain, swelling, numbness and tingling. Severe cases involve muscle paralysis, vision changes and breathing failure.
There is no antivenom. However, only about 30 human deaths have been recorded from cone snail envenomation.
Blue-Ringed Octobus
The Blue-Ringed Octopus is very small, only the size of a golf ball, but its venom is so powerful that can kill a human. Actually it carries enough poison to kill 26 adult humans within minutes, and there is no antidote. They are currently recognized as one of the worlds most venomous animals.
Its painless bite may seem harmless, but the deadly neurotoxins begin working immediately resulting in muscular weakness, numbness, followed by a cessation and breathing and ultimately death.
They can be found in tide pools in the Pacific Ocean, from Japan to Australia.
Death Stalker Scorpion
Contrarily to the popular belief most of the scorpions are relatively harmless to humans as stings produce only local effects (pain, numbness or swelling). However, the Death Starker Scorpion is highly dangerous species because its venom is a powerful cocktail of neurotoxins which causes an intense and unbearable pain, then fever, followed by coma, convulsions, paralysis and death.

Fortunately, while a sting from this scorpion is extremely painful, it would be unlikely to kill a healthy, adult human. Young children, the old, or infirm (with a heart condition) are at the biggest risk.
Death stalker scorpions are spread in North Africa and Middle East.
Stone Fish
Maybe Stonefish would never win a beauty contest, but it would definitely win the top prize for being The World Most Venomous Fish.
Its venom causes such a severe pain that the victims of its sting want the affected limb to be amputated. It is described as the worst pain known to man.
It is accompanied with possible shock, paralysis, and tissue death. If not given medical attention within a couple of hours It can be fatal to humans.
Stonefish stores its toxins in gruesome-looking spines that are designed to hurt would-be predators.
Stonefish mostly live above the tropic of Capricorn, often found in the shallow tropical marine waters of the Pacific and Indian oceans, ranging from the Red Sea to the Queensland Great Barrier Reef.
The Brazilian Wandering Spider
The Brazilian Wandering Spider (Phoneutria) or banana spider appears in the Guinness Book of World Records 2007 for the most venomous spider and is the spider responsible for most human deaths.
This spider is believed to have the most potent neurotoxic venom of any living spider. Only 0.006mg (0.00000021oz) is sufficient to kill a mouse.
They are also so dangerous because of their wandering nature. They often hide during daytime in highly populated areas inside houses, clothes, boots, and cars.
Its venomous bite causes not only intense pain, the venom of the spider can also cause priapism - uncomfortable erections lasting for many hours that lead to impotence.
Inland Taipan
The prize for The Worlds Most Venomous Snake goes to the Inland Taipan of Australia.
Just a single bite from this snake contains enough venom to kill 100 human adults or an army of 250,000 mice.
Its venom is at least 200 - 400 times more toxic than a common cobra. The Inland Taiwans extremely neurotoxic venom can kill an adult human in as little as 45 minutes.
Fortunately this snake is very shy and there have been no documented human fatalities (all known bites were treated with antivenin).
Poison Dart Frog
If you ever happen to be running through the rain forests somewhere in Central or South America, do not ever pick up beautiful and colorful frogs - it can be the Poison Dart Frog. This frog is probably the most poisonous animal on earth.
The 2 inch long (5cm) golden poison dart frog has enough venom to kill 10 adult humans or 20,000 mice. Only 2 micrograms of this lethal toxin (the amount that fits on the head of a pin) is capable of killing a human or other large mammal.
They are called dart frogs because indigenous Amerindians use of their toxic secretions to poison the tips of their blow-darts...
Poison dart frogs keep their poison in their skins and will sicken or kill anybody who touches or eats it.
Puffer Fish
Puffer Fish are the second most poisonous vertebrate on earth (the first one is golden dart Frog).
The meat of some species is a delicacy in both Japan (as fugu) and Korea (as bok-uh) but the problem is that the skin and certain organs of many puffer fish are very poisonous to humans.
This puffy fish produce rapid and violent death...
Puffers poisoning causes deadening of the tongue and lips, dizziness, vomiting, rapid heart rate, difficulty breathing, and muscle paralysis. Victims die from suffocation as diaphragm muscles are paralyzed.
Most of the victims die after four to 24 hours.
There is no known antidote, Most deaths from fugu happen when untrained people catch and prepare the fish.
Statistics show that there were 20 to 44 incidents of fugu poisoning per year between 1996 and 2006 in all of Japan and up to six incidents per year led to death.
Since Fugus poison can cause near instantaneous death, only licensed chefs are allowed to prepare it.

This is one awesome digital camera designed by Franziska Dierschke. You really get to shoot pictures with it-literary. Some people might say that the gun shaped design is a bit too much and that it is somewhat tacky and tasteless, but I think it’s pretty cool and very funny. I would even like to have one of these. Unfortunately, this gun camera is still a concept and is not yet available for sale.

The World's Largest Man-made Explosion Crater - Amazing Photos.....

In the picture you see a sedan crater than can be visited in Nevada Test site. You can see how enormous it is when you compare it with the space a platform takes in the picture. This crater is a result of an underground test of storax sedan and remains the largest man made crater. The nuclear testing was done in the 60s to look for non military use of nuclear explosives.
The nuclear device buried 635 ft under the ground displaced 11,000,000 tons of soil, leaving a crater 320 ft. deep and with a diameter of 1280 ft. It is the largest depression caused by a nuclear detonation. Over 10,000 people visit the crater every year. The test took place on July 6, 1962 and resulted in large amounts of radioactive fallout. The negative effects and health concerns apart, it remains a sight to behold.
Anatomy of an Impact
Friday, March 25, 2011
The unicycle, a single-wheeled vehicle with origins dating as far back as the late 18th century, is commonly associated with circus acts and side shows. However, this extremely challenging vehicle has been adapted to a variety of sports and activities. While unicycling certainly isn't for everyone, those who do have the ability to ride this unusual cycle often draw a crowd wherever they go.
Changes
Since the front wheel of the penny farthing was what did most of the work anyway, there were some people who viewed the rear wheel as unnecessary. As such, the unicycle was born, which was essentially a penny farthing with no balance wheel. These changes began before the end of the 19th century. The front wheel was eventually made smaller and more manageable as styles of unicycles adapted and changed.
Modern UniCycling
The unicycle, like its counterpart the bicycle, has evolved a great deal in the more than 100 years since its creation. Mountain unicycling, like mountain biking, is a sport with quite a devoted following. Off-road unicycling, though not for the faint of heart or weak of body, is thrilling but very dangerous. Freestyle unicycling, too, has become popular, where riders perform tricks on their cycles in a fashion similar to what might be found in the popular X Games.
The Circus
Perhaps the most memorable place to see a unicycle was at the circus. Clowns would ride them around in circles, using great feats of balance and dexterity to enhance their performances and humor. Another popular act was for an acrobat to ride a unicycle across a tightrope, making an already death-defying act doubly perilous as they wheeled out over empty space.
