In order to shed light on the importance of Mexican and Latino immigrant labor on US society, Dulce Pinzón created a series of satirical documentary-style photographs that feature ordinary men and women in their work environments in New York. These are actual immigrants who have put on superhero costumes. The objective? To raise "questions about our definition of heroism after 9/11, and our ignorance of the workforce that fuels our ever-consuming economy. Immigrants have always been the new blood that injects vitality into a city, but the process of accepting these newcomers into everyday life takes time." Pinzón believes that "introducing them in a creative and positive way" she can raise respect and awareness of the "contributions of immigrant labor to the daily lives of us all."
As she states, "Most of us often go through our day-to-day lives in ignorance or denial of the sacrifices that are made by others to enrich and ensure our way of living. This is a tribute to those brave and determined men and women who somehow manage, without the help of any supernatural powers, to withstand extreme conditions of labor in order to help their families and communities survive and prosper."
What I enjoy most about this series is that at first glance, it's just another set of the everyday life of superheroes. But then look between the lines and see that Pinzón is really trying to raise our awareness about modern-day superheroes. As we all know, the immigrant worker often works extraordinary hours for very low wages. Saving and sending money to their families in Mexico, these immigrant workers don't get the recognition they deserve. By wearing these costumes, not only is the spotlight directed on them, they make us think twice about what a superhero really is.
 Spiderman is a professional window cleaner.
Superman is a delivery boy.
Mr. Fantastic works as a waiter.
Thing works in demolition.
Flash is a cook and runs with Los Compadres team.
Green Lantern works as a superintendent.
Batman works as a taxi driver.
Robin works the streets as a male gigolo in Times Square.
The Hulk works in a greengrocer loading trucks.
Wonder Woman works in a Laundromat in Brooklyn New York.
Catwoman is a nanny in New York.

Now if this isn't a sign of the times I don't know what is! When Vitamin Water asked Facebook users to create a new flavor, could we have guessed that it would be called Connect? A black cherry-lime flavor drink made with caffeine and 8 key nutrients, Connect is the brainchild of Facebook user Sarah from Illinois. She's awarded the nice handsome sum of $5K for her contributions. Of course the coolest part of this whole contest is that Facebook fans got the opportunity to design the label, come up with the name and decide on the flavor. So what does Vitamin Water get out of this? A sweet social media marketing campaign that garnered more than 1 million Facebook fans. And Facebook? Well, just check out that bottle - notice a familiar logo?
Watch out for this drink in March 2010. Will you try it?

Most of the time, in most cases, most people choose easy. It’s easy to blame things on circumstances that are outside of our control. It’s easy to say “it’s not my fault”. It’s easy to play the victim. Even when it’s not really true. It’s difficult to step up to the mark. It’s difficult to take responsibility. It’s difficult to rise to the challenge of sorting things out yourself. Sometimes things are outside of our control. Sometimes they aren’t. But either way you are the one who decides what you do from here on. Accept this responsibility. Then do something about it.

Have you asked yourself that lately? Why are you doing what you do? Is there a good reason for it? It’s easy to get stuck into a routine, or a rut, and just keep on truckin without paying much attention to where you’re going and why you’re heading in that direction. But it’s worth stopping to take stock in case the reason has changed…or disappeared…or wasn’t really there in the first place. •Why do you do the job you do? •Why do you live the way that you live? •Why do you want the things that you want? •Why do you act the way that you do? Maybe the answers are fantastically, awesomely, amazingly, incredibly, brilliantly wonderful. Or maybe they’re not. Either way it’s worth asking.

Don't cry, this kiss is a kiss goodbye.
Don't cling, it's time to part.
Don't look at me nor ask me why
I've taken back my heart.
No questioning, no pleading;
No door remains ajar.
No doubt your heart is bleeding,
Deep wounds will leave a scar.
Don't hope to ever turn back time,
Nor resurrect the flame
Of what's become a pantomime
Of love, in all but name.

It is the perfect gift for the man, or woman, who has everything, and it has been heavily discounted. But you will still need a rather large bank balance to purchase the Discovery Space Shuttle, which is being sold off by Nasa for $28.2 m (£17.7m). The soon-to-be redundant shuttle was the ultimate boy's toy, flying faster and higher than any other machine in history. It was originally worth $42 million (£25.8 m) but the price has plummeted to take in the cost of hauling the monster from the Kennedy Space Centre to a major US airport. Discovery, which has completed 37 missions into space and 5,247 orbits, has already been promised to the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum, but shuttles Atlantis and Endeavour are still available, the Independent reports. Nasa is considering mulling the possibility of putting Enterprise, a shuttle prototype that never made it to space, on sale. Nasa decided to sell the shuttles ahead of their retirement later this year. They are set to be replaced by the new Ares 1-X rocket, which is due to take over all manned space flights in 2015. If the new price is still too daunting, an even bigger bargain comes in the shape of the shuttle's engines - no longer required once the craft is in a museum. The agency offered them for sale at between $400,000 and $800,000, but there were no takers. They are now offering them free, to anyone with the ability to take them home.
