I should spend my money for some new t-shirts and paint bc I'm pretty much into metallica at the moment and I seriously need another bandtshirt created by myself.Nevertheless I found this "pullover" today at H&M. Its way too huge (M, I usually wear XS) but the price forced me to buy it.I only need to take care that I dont look like L in it because those jeans make me look bigger than I actuall
Butterfly Wings
One day a man came upon a cocoon of a butterfly. He saw the butterfly struggling to force its body through a small opening in the cocoon. After several hours it seemed that the butterfly stopped making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could [...]

hypnosis therapy has been used for a long time now in order to treat a wide variety of psychological conditions. Contrary to popular perception, hypnosis has nothing to do with black magic or anything that is even remotely supernatural. It is in fact a science by itself and helps in creating a sense of control [...]
In these studies from the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament, we move on into Luke Chapter 10, where we are looking at some of the things Jesus did and said once He had set his face to go to Jerusalem. Jesus appointed 72 others - for a period of ministry - sending them [...]
Once Albert Einstein said "Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet".This could not have been closer to reality, but in those times people did not believe that a proper nutrition could be achieved without consuming animal related products. The truth is that as more information becomes available about the
This is old, but I thought I would repost it. Big up to Lo Lives. What scary is that I know too many people in this video. The last time these guys came to the show, they came with 30 people. How the friduck did I allow that? Perhaps because they were 30 deep mean looking dudes. However - these cats are cool as hell. Big up Thirstin and Bar Lo.
Every so often, I realise that I've just watched and enjoyed a chick flick.Last night, whilst trying to get Battlestar Galactica to start on the DVD player (VCRs are so much quicker) I had the TV on, and spotted the name "Mel Smith" swim past as the director of a film just starting.Ever since Bean – The Ultimate Disaster Movie I've been converted to Smith's directorial work, so I quickly abandon

Colon cancer testing saves lives each and every year. But did you know that half of those that currently die from the disease could be saved if only they have a routine test?
Colorectal cancer is responsible for 60,000 deaths in the U.S. alone each year. But colon cancer testing can change all of that. In fact, there are many different kinds of tests (some more invasive than others) that can

"Apples"Completed: 10.2.07oil om canvas board7" x 5" This painting was a bit of a struggle for me. Since I have not painted still lifes in awhile, I am having trouble just finishing a painting in the 1-3 hours that it usually takes for other daily artists. For me, this is part of my studying process again. At times, it my take me too long to post a finished painting. If that is the case, I will start posting my progress through a painting I"m having trouble on. During the process of the painting I will take photos of different points through my exploration of that particular art piece. This artwork was supposed to have a flower between the two apples. However, as I started painting it, I could see it was not going to go the way I wanted it to in the time frame I had. I took the flower out of the still life and painted a study of the two apples instead. The main part that gave me trouble was the indentation of the red and green apple where the stem comes out. It was getting a little da
"Gourd with Berries"Completed: 10.1.07oil on canvas board7" x 5"This painting gave me some trouble. I was at an angle I wasn't used to, and I kept having trouble getting the initial composition down. It took me way longer than I expected! Oh well, the good thing is I solved my problems and finished it. Again, I am extremely dissapointed over the photo quality, because the painting looks sharper than the photo. Another painting tomorrow!ShannonThis painting is $35.00 (Shipping and sales tax included).
"Pumpkin 1"Completed: 9.30.07oil on canvas board7" x 5" I am so excited about this painting. My inspiration from the pumpkin took off from yesterday and I bought all sorts of autumn objects. I have not painted still lifes since about 3 years ago, so I was a little anxious when I started. As I started to lay down the paint, I hated how it was coming out, so I switched to another board and tried a different approach. Instead of diving right in, I did a light sketch with thinned out reddish-orange and that helped me map out my composition. The only thing I am disappointed about is the picture quality. I am still waiting for my new digital camera, and it is very difficult to get a crisp picture from the camera I'm using now. (I won't be getting my new camera for about another week and half.) I am so happy I'm exploring still life painting this week to get back into practice. I hope you enjoy it!ShannonThis painting is $35.00 (Shipping and sales tax included).
The Elios RescueBot was designed by Industrial Designer Marcos Nolan, he solves, an interesting challenge, how do we rescue people trapped in in-traversable areas or war zones? Where humans can't go, the Elios can.The resistant armor protects the robot as it walks to its target, with an optical and biometric sensors keep the robot on course dynamically calculating new routes as needed. The main feature are the 10 lifting arms concealed beneath the robot. When it reaches its target, the arms open and descend carefully lifting people into safety. The robot then makes a swift return out of harms way and transports the rescued victims to the nearest hospital. Source & Image:tranism
