A new episode of The Midnight Archive--the web-based documentary series centered around Observatory--has just been uploaded and can be viewed above. In this episode we learn about--and view in graphic and gorgeous detail!--the Diableries, Victorian hand-colored stereo views depicting daily life in hell and peopled with skeletons, lovely ladies, and the devil himself, and in infernal colors and glorious 3D.

The creator of The Midnight Archive--Film-maker and many-time Observatory lecturer Ronni Thomas--says about this episode:

This episode brings this whole series and experience full circle. In a lot of ways, the topic here--‘Death and Devils in 3D’--is what brought me to this even bigger world. A few years back, I’d given my first ‘lecture’ at Observatory at the request of my friend Joanna. Assuming nobody would show up, I agreed and was promptly shocked and inspired by just how amazing the turnout had been. All to see my collection of 19th century 3D devil tissues... And more than that--the crowd was a delightful mixed bag. From Mensa to Princeton to the street punks and dregs, from the curious to the satanic... Truly inspiring. And so here is my own entry into the archive--please be kind--I hate being on camera but, what the “Hell”... I’m particularly proud of the way we treated the slides. The idea was to give more of the 3D/color effect to the Diableries than simple scans would give you. My ultimate dream is to film the entire series in 3D and set it to music (wink wink at the Real Tuesday Weld)--kept it brief and informal--I am aware of a very comprehensive book currently in the works on the series being done in part by Brian May (Queen’s guitar player and avid stereoscopic fan) so keep your eyes opened! Enjoy!

Excerpt from:
Free to Choose Part 3: Anatomy of a Crisis (Featuring Milton Friedman) - Video

"Grey's Anatomy" celebrates Valentine's Day this week on the ABC drama and Chandra Wilson, who plays Dr. Miranda Bailey, said her character is continuing to heat things up with Jason George's Dr. Ben Warren.

"Bailey -- she is constantly trying to work it out, she's trying a new thing," Chandra told Access Hollywood Live's Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Tuesday of an upcoming scene this week where Bailey attempts to - in not-quite-her-usual-fashion -- put the moves on Dr. Warren.

But don't expect things to be totally smooth sailing for Miranda and Ben.

"She's trying to leave herself open and a little bit more available, but she's Bailey and she works and that's gonna get in the way a little bit," Chandra said.

In related "Grey's Anatomy" news, former star Katherine Heigl has made no secret of her wish to come back to the show in some small way, to potentially wrap up the Izzie Stevens storyline (she's still married to Alex Karev), but Chandra had no idea if that will end up happening.

"We have no control over that," Chandra explained. "Even like Katie was saying during her interviews, we're family, 'cause we were all together for all that time, so when family members are back with us it's the same thing, you fall right into the same groove. So, it's all about what the show needs."

What Chandra herself needs is a good pair of athletic shoes, as next weekend, she'll be participating in the Rock N' Roll half marathon in Los Angeles in support of Cure Mito, a cause Kit too will help raise money for at the same event.

"Once I realized that I could brisk walk the half marathon, it was 'Game on!' You couldn't get me out of it," Chandra said of her upcoming participation. "But, Cure Mito is an amazing organization that started out of Children's Hospital LA. My daughter went through a bout of Cyclic [Vomiting] Syndrome two years ago... constant waves of nausea, dehydration and hospitalization, basically every single month.

"Finally we got a handle on what the trigger was and how to get it stopped and as a result of that, I started speaking out about it and then, got involved with the Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome [Association] as their spokesperson," she added. "Now that my daughter's allowed me to speak out about it... It's about 'Let's raise funds so we can get the information out.' That's what we're gonna be out there walking [to do]."

I know that everyone and their mother has seen these works by now.  But what makes these pieces by artist Lisa Nilsson so incredible is the detail, thoughtful technique and observation that the rolled paper makes a beautiful representation of anatomical cross sections.  Everyone has appreciated it, even those who don’t necessarily find science and anatomy particularly interesting.  It’s this type of transcendent anatomical art that we here at Street Anatomy drool over.

If you, like me, gasped at the site of these and instantly wanted to know how she created them, head over to ArtSake for the wonderful interview with Lisa. She shares her inspiration, technique, and overall amazingness in the interview.

Synopisis of the film, from IMDB:

Speedy (1928)
"Speedy" loses his job as a soda-jerk, then spends the day with his girl at Coney Island. He then becomes a cab driver and delivers Babe Ruth to Yankee Stadium, where he stays to see the game. When the railroad tries to run the last horse-drawn trolley (operated by his girl's grandfather) out of business, "Speedy" organizes the neighborhood oldtimers to thwart their scheme.
