It's amazing what someone with some free time, artistic talent, and a pocketful of sharpies can accomplish. Charlie Kratzer of South Lexington, Kentucky covered the walls of his basement with an amazing group of characters including Hercule Poirot, Sherlock Holmes, Winston Churchill, Bullwinkle and Rocky, George Bernard Shaw, Joan Crawford and William Shakespeare. He has also recreated famous works of art such as Picasso's The Dream and Georges Seurat's Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.
The view of his basement below doesn't show so well at this size. You can see a larger view at Kentucky.com.
Stephen King is trying out a new format for his latest video project. He is calling it a graphic video series and it's drawn in the style of a graphic novel. There are 25 episodes under two minutes each.
It from his new short story collection "Just after Sunset" and is being made into a graphic novel due to be out in early 2009. It's about a psychiatrist who treats a patient that believes he is protecting the world by obsessively counting and rearranging things, and then falls victim to the same obsession.
It is very well drawn and I did enjoy watching it even if the episodes were a bit short. You can watch the whole series with the widget provided by the Nishere.com website. There is an advantage to watching it with the widget...no commercials between every episode.
Pageonce calls itself the First Personal Internet Assistant. It's looks like a great idea. You can view all your personal accounts and websites in one place - bank, credit, utility, even your netflix and social networking sites. It will show balances, bills that are due, cell phone usage, new messages and emails, frequent flyer miles. It sounds great but I'm a little paranoid about giving out so much information - bank accts, credit card numbers, passwords, etc.
If anyone out their uses it I'd love to hear how safe you feel using it and how well it works.
This is fun to try. You have to arrange colored squares (they kind of look like paint chips) in order by hue. It is a lot harder than it sounds. The lower your score the better. I got a 14
Do you consider yourself a css expert? Then the css Zen Gardenis the place for you. It's an unusual web site that challenges designers to use the same code as everyone else, change only the css and come up with a completely different and useable webpage
This short animated film won the 2008 International children's film festival. I'm surprised it won at a children's film festival. Although it is animated it isn't really a child's story
Well if that bread your eating has L-Cysteine listed as an ingredient that is probably what your eating. L-Cysteine is used as a dough conditioner to increase production and is most often obtained from human hair. It can be also be obtained from duck feathers and boar bristles but it's most cost effective to get it from human hair through hydrolysis. It is also used as a hearty (meaty) flavoring in foods and also in some beauty products and medications. There has been a rumor floating around that the hair is obtained from cadavers but this has never been proven to be true
I'm having a similar problem when I add comments. I keep getting email notices whenever someone adds a comment after mine. I've gone back to my comment and made sure no is selected under notify me of replies, but I still get them. Sometimes after I go back and double check when I still keep getting emails, I will find the yes is selected....very strange.
Ruby, don't leave out the heartburn, constipation, milk leakage, needing to always be within sight of a restroom, and strangers constantly rubbing your belly and asking if its a girl or boy.
That last one really sucks when they do that and you aren't pregnant.
Maybe your right. Possibly 1% might go for it. Of the men I've met in my life, I couldn't see a single one of them doing it. Not because they wouldn't want to experience it but because I just don't think they could handle it.
After a week or two of morning sickness I think it would end right there for quite a few men. Plus I believe it's been proven that men just have a lower threshold for pain. Men do compete in some rough sports, but getting punched in a boxing ring is one thing, 24 hours of continous labor is quite another.
