Both LHC and KEK got some weird results in two different experiments that suggest possibility of new particles outside standard model. They also don't fit into the Supersymetry theory. Right now the best guesses are some new type of Higgs boson or leptoquark.

Queen Elizabeth II has become the longest reigning British monarch in history today (she ( Read more... )

The greatest thing that came out of SD Comic-Con was the Dubsmash battle between Chloe Bennet and Clark Gregg (sometimes helped by the rest of MAoS cast) and Hayley Atwell and James D'Arcy (with some special guest helpers). There was some great use of Queen and Chloe's own music (from her Chinese pop-star days) and the final stab with Dirty Dancing ( Read more... )

It looks like the final in 2015 Suvudu Cage Match will be between Death and Death's granddaughter. Susan vs. one of Endless. I'm sure she'll bring the poker. Semifinals are still on but unless large amount of late votes come in it seems to be the end result. I'm just happy Death is the right gender. Weird Germanics with their male personification ( Read more... )

I had some computer problems. Happened just before I finished my post on Monday. I spent last two days reinstalling Windows so all I have today is just a new Orphan Black video - all about the other clones:

On Wednesday Germany destroyed Brazil 7-1. Since then everyone has been talking about how extraordinary this was and compare with other big loses (and for Americans explaining the level of devastation by translating it to the sports they understand). But the overwhelming feelings where first shock and then ( Read more... )

When I was going home I was watching Americans wrapped in national colours going to watch their match with Belgium. The streets were mostly empty and the only places where you could see people were bars and restaurants with TV screens. And all those screens were showing the match. The whole main street looked like a dead town with almost noone ( Read more... )

It's always (by always I mean twice so far) amusing to observe Americans reacting to World Cup - but this time the haters are in minority and the fans are everywhere. This time they really seem to get into it - judging from all the reactions posted all over the internets and the TV coverage of those reactions. The joy and the heartbreak and the ( Read more... )

The list of the characters coming in the next season of Games of Thrones has a lot of Dornish characters. I'm one of those people who really like Dorne (them and Dany's chapters are my favourite parts) so I'm pretty happy about this ( Read more... )
