So You Think You Can Dance 5 - Top 16

A great show indeed; the top 16 where splendid, the routines where unique and the choreography was breathtaking. The show started off a bit slow but half way through, it was absolutely amazing.

There were two hip hop routines choreographed by Dave Scott. The first was performed by Karla and Jonathan and it lacked both energy and technique especially from Jonathan. The second hip hop routine performed by Brandon and Janette was simply yet utterly mind-blowing. The routine was a mixture of hip-hop and rock it was really quite entertaining.

Archaeologists Piece Together 35,000 Year Old Flute

A new clue to how the people lived 35,000 years ago has been pieced together. It’s not another skeleton of a pre-historic human being but rather a musical instrument made from the wing bone of a vulture. The archaeologists unearthed the flute as fragments last summer in the Hohle Fels cave in Germany. There were 12 pieces of the flute scattered all over the cave and this team of archaeologists lead by Nicholas Conard painstakingly pieced them all together. The result is an 8.6-inch flute having five holes and a notched end. The flute dates back 35,000 years ago, which makes it the oldest musical instrument in the world.

Turkish TV Drama Zoraki Koca

Zoraki Koca Turkish TV series

As Turkish shows have taken the Arab TV by storm, I came across a show that took me by storm. Zoraki Koca as it goes by in Turkish, meaning impossible love (al 7ob al mosta7il) is a show that has your typical love story between Omar, the young flirt that has girls all over him, and Rasha, the respected and "hard-to-get" beautiful girl.
The story has the typical guy that has all the girls and never experienced real love.
Being rich, not having to work, Omar starts off as the immature, ungrateful "mama's boy" who meets Rasha on a "working trip" in a small village and the trip quickly turned into a girl-filled pool party.
