It is her first television commercial, she says on Facebook. Axa is a Lantmännen brand of breakfast products, here promoting their oatmeal flakes in particular.
Wow, a 4-man pushup with lift-off exercise, a 4-girl endurance session and … a, ehm, human pushup centipede ? (If you look closely, you’ll notice that the front man in the first exercise is Pál Joensen)
A story about a boy who loved to swim. Not the final draft of the film, will replace once it is ready, see Vimeo. Free Style (a documentary) from Evan Glaser on Vimeo.

That Croatian girl seems pretty happy with her job, leading Mads Glæsner, Paul Biedermann and Massimiliano Rosolino (in that order) past photographers and audience after the Rijeka 2008 European Short Course men’s 400 freestyle medal ceremony. And yes, I must stress that she did wear clothes :-P
They called it Operation Red Cheeks, the week-long, multi-agency operation that resulted in the arrest of 40 suspects in Osceola County, including Gator Swim Club head coach Bryan Allen Woodward, pro Senior PGA Tour golfer Stephen W. Thomas, U.S. Army Reserve Shane D. Cousins and teacher Alexander Roy. Read more and see news segment here on Click Orlando, and here from wesh2 on YouTube with footage from one of the arrests.
The Save the Manatee Club debuted a live underwater camera on Tuesday morning at Blue Spring State Park, with which we’ll now be able to watch manatees seeking warm water refuge in the park’s spring run during the winter. Mmm, warm water … If you’re lucky, you might even see me ! :-D Watch live streaming video from savethemanateecam at livestream.com Read more here on The Daytona Beach News-Journal
Thailand prepared to welcome in the Year of the Black Water Dragon on Tuesday as the Lunar New Year approached. In Bangkok, children attended a unique performance which included an underwater Chinese dragon dance. Hmm, if they could make that go really fast, by wearing fins or riding some underwater jetski underneath the outfit, then it would be the perfect thing to scare the kids (and adults) with :-)
Via Treehugger, they’re pretty excited that wild humpback whales and bottlenose dolphins take time out to play with each other off the coast of Hawaii. Unfortunately we only get to see shots of dolphins riding whales, and not the other way around :-P
