This is another taste of whats to come this season from booger

For an Earth-like planet to harbor life, or multicellular life, certainly temperature is important, but what else is important? And what makes the temperature of an exo-Earth “just right”? Some recent studies have concluded that answering these questions can be surprisingly difficult, and that some of the answers  are surprisingly curious.

In the “Rare Earth” hypothesis, this is a Goldilocks criterion; unless the tilt is kept stable (by a moon like our Moon), and at a “just right” angle, the climates will swing too wildly for multicellular life to form: too many snowball Earths (the whole globe covered in snow and ice), or too much risk of a runaway greenhouse. “We find that planets with small ocean fractions or polar continents can experience very severe seasonal climatic variations,” Columbia University’s David Spiegel writes*, summing up the results of an extensive series of models investigating the effects of obliquity, land/ocean coverage, and rotation on Earth-like planets, “but that these planets also might maintain seasonally and regionally habitable conditions over a larger range of orbital radii than more Earth-like planets.”

WE WILL BE THERE TONIGHT GETTING SOME GOOD FLIX..

On a seasonal level, OriginalFake offers some sort of waterproof breathable jacket with the following representing the 2010 spring/summer season’s offering. A clean design throughout, the jacket features tonal waterproof zips with a printed Chomper zipper serving as the main zipper. An additional highlight is seen on the bottom hem with the Chomper theme once again. Constructed of GORE-TEX PACLITE material, the jacket is fully packable. Available in red, blue, gray and black at honeyee Store.

Please join us at Azul on March 12th to celebrate the launch of the  Ava Domina Spring Line. Gift bags to first 30 guests so get there early!

Bloodbath, Breezy Excursion, Adapt, Heist and Co, Cukui, Ava Domina & Booger Kids created a mini-tradeshow in a Mandalay Media Suite, dubbed: The West Coast Conference.We got the chance to hit the conference b4 it turned into a full blown party.. It was dope to see all the brands come together as one to show people how the west was won!!

Due to many customers being unable to purchase the first time around, as well as the general immense amount of positive feedback we have received on this project, we have again teamed up with the Hieroglyphics camp to re-release the 93 til tees as well as a very limited zip hoody. Both the tee and Hoody will ship out on March 5th.

Available NOW.
Adapt X Hieroglyphics Zip Hoody – Here
Adapt X Hieroglyphics Black Tee – Here
Adapt X Hieroglyphics White Tee – Here

After a night of partying and a long day of waiting around the casino the crew finally got to hit the suite  to prep the room for the WCC

Two objects reportedly crashed to the ground near Ulan Bator, the capital of Mongolia on Feb. 19, 2010. The first object, according to the report on the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness database, weighed 10 kg, while the second larger object weighed approximately 2 tons. Other than that, there’s not a lot of information available about the objects. But of course, UFOers are having a field day, calling the image, above, that accompanied the report a “leaked UFO crash” picture. But the object looks suspiciously like a rocket or jet engine, or perhaps a rocket nose cone. Objects that crash to Earth likely have a very terrestrial origin. We’ll provide an update when any news becomes available. But if you are looking for a few laughs, check out the comments on Io9.

The night b4 the WEST COAST CONFERENCE , all the brands  met up for a meeting and a lil pre game b4 hitting the COMPLEX x G-SHOCK party.

Breezy Excursion is proud to present the: 2nd Annual Inner Richmond Pubcrawl which will be tomorrow, Saturday, February 20, in the Inner Richmond District in SF beginning at 8pm. Last year was a huge success; the premise is simple: 10 bars, 30 minutes per bar, and a drink per bar (if you’re up for the Capo challenge). Come out to this not-so-known area of SF, share some drinks and laughs as we crawl through most of the bars in the Inner Richmond. Blackouts are inevitable and encouraged. It’s gonna be an event you don’t wanna miss. Peep the website: pubcrawl-sf.com for further info. See you there fam. Gyea.

BREEZY EXCURSION

We’re being invaded! About one-fourth of the star clusters in our galaxy are actually invaders from other galaxies, according to a new paper. Research from a team of scientists from Swinburne University of Technology in Australia shows that that many of our galaxy’s globular star clusters are actually foreigners – having been born elsewhere and then migrated to our Milky Way. “It turns out that many of the stars and globular star clusters we see when we look into the night sky are not natives, but aliens from other galaxies,” said Duncan Forbes. “They have made their way into our galaxy over the last few billion years.”

THE SEVENTH LETTER + KNOWN GALLERY teamed up to give you one of the coolest things at S.L.A.T.E.

Known

Galaxy density in the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field, with colors representing the redshift of the galaxies, ranging from redshift of 0.2 (blue) to 1 (red). Pink x-ray contours show the extended x-ray emission as observed by XMM-Newton.

Dark matter (actually cold, dark – non-baryonic – matter) can be detected only by its gravitational influence. In clusters and groups of galaxies, that influence shows up as weak gravitational lensing, which is difficult to nail down. One way to much more accurately estimate the degree of gravitational lensing – and so the distribution of dark matter – is to use the x-ray emission from the hot intra-cluster plasma to locate the center of mass.

And that’s just what a team of astronomers have recently done … and they have, for the first time, given us a handle on how dark matter has evolved over the last many billion years.

I’ve played with my fair share of LEGOs, but I never actually envied the little guys until I saw Dave DeGobbi’s Crawler Town, a work as impressively conceived as it is constructed. I’d forfeit bendable elbows to live in it.

This week marks a few new releases from Billionaire Boys Club’s 2010 Spring/Summer Collection. Following the smart casual approach seen in their recent collection, some highlights of this season are shown here which include the WABASH CARNATION PATCH TAILORED JACKET and the DENIM VEST. Other items include the GINGHAM DECK SHIRT, VELVET COLLAR DENIM WESTERN SHIRTS and the subtle DOLLAR & DIAMOND SWEATER. All are now available through BBC/Ice Cream retailers.
