Eadweard Muybridge (April 9, 1830 – May 8, 1904) was an English-born pioneer in photographing motion and in motion-picture projection. An eccentric man who used several aliases—Helios, The Flying Studio; several variants of his birth name, Edward Muggeridge—he first received worldwide acclaim with his landscape photographs of Yosemite Valley, which he developed from large negatives in a mule-driven darkroom.
Muybridge is most remembered for his contributions to the understanding of human and animal locomotion. In 1872, he was hired by railroad magnate Leland Stanford to find the answer to a popular question of the time: whether or not all four of a horse’s hooves leave the ground during a gallop. Muybridge determined the answer by utilizing a series of large cameras. He repeated this practice of stop-motion photography with other animals and people, in effect preceding motion pictures and modern cinema.
Muybridge bequeathed his equipment, including his Zoopraxiscope projector, to the Kingston Museum in Kingston upon Thames, in southwest London. His works are part of the collections of such major institutions as the Smithsonian. Additionally, a large collection of his photographs and correspondence are in the archives at the University of Pennsylvania. A major exhibition of his works, entitled Helios: Eadweard Muybridge in a Time of Change, was held in 2010 at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and at the Tate Britain in Millbank, London. The exhibition then went to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art from February 26 through June 7, 2011.
His artistic legacy influenced such artists as Marcel Duchamp and Francis Bacon, while many of his photographic sequences have inspired cartoonists and filmmakers—Muybridge is referred to as the Father of the Motion Picture. Muybridge’s personal life was also fodder for original works by poets, composers and playwrights.

Laura Plageman is an artist and educator who lives and works in Oakland, CA. Her images explore the relationships between the process of image making, photographic truth and distortion, and the representation of landscape. She is interested in making pictures that examine the natural world as a scene of mystery, beauty and constant change—transformed both by human presence and by its own design. Plageman has exhibited her work in San Francisco, New York, Portland and Galway, Ireland. She earned a BA at Wesleyan University (Middletown, CT) and an MFA from the California College of the Arts (San Francisco, CA). She was also a First Edition 2011 winner in the Hey Hot Shot! photography competition, another Jen Bekman Project.

The Los Angeles Clippers Are Trying To Shut Down Their Number One Fan
Clipper Darrell has been an institution at the Staples Center for years, but suddenly the team he loves isn't returning his affection.
Clipper Darrell is as big a fan of the Los Angeles Clippers as the NBA's most beleaguered franchise has ever known. No matter how bad things got for the team Clipper Darrell was always in the aisles dancing, riling up the crowd, and mercilessly taunting the opposition. This is a fan so well-regarded by players and organizations throughout the league that Mark Cuban flew him to Dallas a few years ago to offer him a job. So it came as a surprise to find out that the (now hot) Los Angeles Clippers have asked that Darrell stop using the name.
It is with great sadness that I must report to all those in NBA NATION that I have been told by Clipper management they no longer want me to be Clipper Darrell, a name that was given to me by the media because of my unwavering support and team spirit. I am devastated!!!!
I have been a season ticket holder for over a decade and a FAN for over 15 years and have dedicated a major part of my life to support the Clipper organization and it’s players no matter what the season’s outcome. Over the years (400 home games) I have gone to great lengths to show my appreciation and loyalty in my attire, the car I drive and in my very own home. I’ve taken seriously the mantra of being “Clipper Darrell” in performing community service, mentoring young children and my participation in outreach programs. I’ve appreciated the struggles of the team to overcome obstacles as I’ve done in my life. I felt vindicated for all the years we as Clipper fans have gone through trials and tribulations and NOW we have a team that can win it all. Yesterday was the hardest day of my life, I felt powerless as a fan, as I was stripped of my identity however, no one can take away my heart and the love I have for my team!
NBA players quickly rushed to Darrell's defense:

7 Surprising Word Origins
You use these words on a regular basis, but their etymology may surprise you.
Addict
Under ancient Roman law, addiction referred to the legal surrendering of an individual as a slave to a master. Ultimately, the term addict became associated with habitual behavior that made a person a slave to something else; this included the craving of substances such as drugs or alcohol.

Carat
Carat, the standard unit of weight for precious stones, derives from the Greek word for carob seeds, "keraton." Apparently, fully grown carob seeds have a consistent weight from seed to seed (approximately 200mg), which made them a handy item to determine the weight of small objects, such as diamonds, on a balance scale.
Via: belocal.de
Cell
After examining plant matter under a microscope, early modern scientist Robert Hooke coined the word cell to refer to the smallest unit of life because plants' cellular structure resembled monks' cells (living quarters) in a monastery.

Ketchup
Although we commonly think of ketchup as a tomato product, historically the term derives from a Chinese fish sauce called ke-tsiap. English travelers likely brought the recipe back from Malaysia. By the mid-eighteenth century, "ketchup" or "catsup" was a common staple in Britain and its American colonies. Tomatoes weren't part of the recipe until the 1790s, partly due to a common English/American belief that tomatoes were unsuitable for human consumption.

12 Fashion Trends That Should Never Make A Comeback
Fads are a rapidly changing part of culture, and thank sweet baby jesus for it because these trends really need to just stay in their proper decades as warning for past fashion faux pas. And no, none of these should be worn ironically, either.
Platform thong sandals
What was up with women vying over wearing these chunks of styrofoam? It kind of made made people look like the wanted to be both comfortable yet stylish but then forgot what both of those words meant.
Gold lame leggins
Unless you're in the top .0001% of people that can pull off this look (or this is still the '80s, which, last time I checked, it's not) these things just end up looking like legs squeezed into easter egg foil at a rave.

Mullet
It doesn't matter how attractive, or famous, you may be, if you sport a mullet you look like a douche. I'm really sorry to break it to you like this, but someone really needed to let you know.
