I’m feeling all Domestic POWERHOUSE today. Oh yeah, I’ve gone beyond DIVA. In the past 24 hours, I have used not one, not two, but THREE small appliances in my kitchen; the crock pot is currently working on a soup for dinner, I made myself a smoothie with my blender, and I made, uh, toast in my [...]
My son William, (aka ‘Bur Bur’) has been participating for the first time this year in organized t-ball. I think back to the first day a month or two ago and am amazed at how far his whole team has come. With the encouragement of families and coaches, their eye and hand coordination, learning [...]

Turkey, slip to the creek to make love,
oblivious to the danger presented
by sharp rocks and woken snakes.
Any minute now, a camper’s going
to stagger from a nearby tent, waving
a flashlight with one hand, grabbing
his fly with the other. Spy us
and forget to pee. So?? Got [...]
What do you get when you cross a postcard with tree carved initials? Well… honestly, you get nothing. But don’t say we didn’t try to come up with some metaphor for what this is. Those clever fellows at SUCK UK have made a postcard made of wood that lets you etch out your own message [...]

Once upon a time, there were three little gremlins. They bugged and nagged and harassed their poor tired mother for weeks to please, please, please buy them some pumpkins to carve. They were so sad that everyone else in the 'hood had nifty fall decorations adorning their front porches and they longed to be part of the festivities.
So one night after pretending to be a friendly cashier for 5 1/2
I’ve been visiting ExtremePumpkins.com off and on for a few years. Tom Nardone takes the art of pumpkin carving, simplifies it, adds power tools, and a lot of thinking outside of the box and really does some wonderful work on pumpkins. He knows a bit of danger = fun. You’ve probably seen his work too in one of those emails that gets forwarded all over the place that just clog your inbox. It probably had the subject line of “Check out these pumpkins” or “These are really cool pumpkins” or something along those lines. If you’ve seen pictures of any crazy or insanely carved pumpkins, you’ve seen this guy’s work.
He also knows that using stencils and pumpkin carving kits are for sissys. I know that not everyone is an artist, but you don’t have to be to carve a cool pumpkin. Stencils, while neat, do not yield a unique pumpkin.
I just found out he has a book based off his site where he gives more detailed instructions on carv
I was sent this really cool link that enables you to carve your own pumpkin online.
The boys and I had great fun playing around with it last night. It is certainly a bit safer and less messy than the real thing! The only downside is you can’t put one of these in your window
Alterative use of the normal packaging and plastic-related uses is something that has garnered a lot of criticism due to its point of origin. While most people are looking for alternative sources of fuel, there are groups trying to spread the word of the new wave of plastics in the form of bioplastics.Seen to cost more than the normal plastics that are key points towards making the whole essence of global warming a growing issue, bioplastics are considered to be a good replacement with lesser evils when it comes towards the whole issue of plastic’s role in contributing to the whole global warming mess we find ourselves in today.
Manufacturing bioplastics produces carbon dioxide, which many scientists have concluded contributes to global warming when released into the atmosphere. The materials are made from crops — corn, switchgrass, sugar cane, even sweet potatoes — that require land and water to grow, resources that could be used to produce food for consumption instead. Some so

For all of the controversy associated with the Cleveland Indians name, and subsequent mascot/logo depicting Native Americans, Chief Wahoo remains wildly popular among fans as the smiley caricature that has adorned the team's caps and various areas around the ballpark since 1946. However, one particular die-hard Indians fan recently came home to a rather thoughtful gift in the form of a wooden sculpture.But when recently returning home and finding a larger-than-life likeness of Wahoo prominently displayed at her Washington Street home, 74-year-old Meadville resident Mary Ann Allen was shocked. A lifetime Tribe fanatic, Allen, who listens to or watches nearly every pitch of Indians baseball, has been placed near the top of the Crawford County totem of Indians fans.Allen's Son-In-Law, Mark Sherry, was having a tree removed from her yard for safety purposes. This she was aware of. Mary Ann was not, however, in-the-know that Mark had recruited the talents of a local resident, Brian Spragu
Apple iPhone owners will be able to get their iPhones laser-etched soon via a similar service that Apple do for the iPod soon (we would imagine), but for now you will have to get it done else where like one person did at Philip Torrone’s shop in New York.
The video below shows an iPhone getting etched with some old-school flying toasters.
So would you get your iPhone laser-etched?

Lanco Infrastructure is soon to come up with potential real estate projects. However, the company is not making the expected marks in its Ultra Mega power Plant projects but it has certainly turned the heat in property market.
Partnering with Morgan Stanley, a global financial services firm, the Hyderabad based Lanco Group wants to spell a difference in Indian real estate.

Reuters has received a takeover approach. The Reuters (!) news service mentions Thomson Corp and News Corp as possible suitors.
I am surprised Reed Elsevier isn't mentioned. They are selling Harcourt (the education unit), reducing the company to a 3-trick pony. Thomson could be interested in the news business (avoiding FCC/FTC scrutiny, which would almost certainly result from combining Reuters
Opposing is easy, but governing is hard work - if only because you have all these people opposing you all the time.
A lot of attention is about to be paid to Delaware Democratic Senator Joe Biden and his presidential propsects could fly or flop as a consequence of what he now does. Biden will assume the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in the New Year and foreign relations are a pretty big issue in American politics right now.
Specifically, as this article in the Wilmington News Journal reminds us, there is the question of what to do in Iraq - and Biden has an intriguing answer. Biden's plan to divide Iraq into three semi-autonomous has attracted considerable interest on both sides of the aisle, the Journal reports. It's certainly appealing to have creative proposals on the table. Exporting democracy not working? Let's try exporting federalism instead. If that works, we can send the Electoral College and Katherine Harris out there, too, see if that helps.
