Kim Navarro & Brent Bommentre - 2012 Evening of Champions. Navarro and Bommentre are two-time U.S. bronze medalists in ice dance. They are performing a move known as a headbanger. The object of the spin is to swing the lady periously close to the ice without making actual contact.

Ice Chips 2012 - Kloe Chanel Bautista and Tyler Harris. Although the focus is a little soft and the light was a real challenge, I was captivated by her smile as she set up to do a "head banger" or bounce spin in which her partner grabs her leg and swings her around with her head at times coming perilously close to the ice.

Pompeii was founded sometime between the 8th–6th centuries BC. After numerous conquests, it eventually became a Roman town. It was destroyed in, 79 AD when Mt. Vesuvius erupted. Most people are believed to have died by the searing heat (250 degrees C) and then were covered in layers of ash, which preserved the ruins. The eruption was documented by Pliny the Younger who watched it from across the Bay of Naples. The town was eventually forgotten about and it was not until 1599 that it was rediscovered during an project to divert the Sarno River. It was then forgotten about until 1748. Major excavations continued for years thereafter. AIMG_3250
