Helmet laws are always controversial, no matter where they are being enacted. In Nigeria, though, the recently-instituted rule that all motorcycle riders and passengers must be wearing helmets has caused an unusual, um... solution, in the form of calabashes, or dried pumpkin shells, worn on the head and tied on with a string. Apparently, these shells are normally used to transport liquids and are
Before you even say it, I know, I know… I’ve been horribly neglecting Friday Fun this month. And I even had it on my “To Do” list all week in hopes that I’d have it prepared early. HA. December is just days away and I promise I’ll get a Friday Fun up EVERY Friday next [...]

Pumpkins are an excellent, hardy member of the squash family and grow in all sorts of shapes and sizes. You might envision a pumpkin for Halloween only, but pumpkins can be a decorative part of your garden's landscape throughout their growing season. Decorative pumpkins make a beautiful addition to your holiday table and of course, in the favorite dessert, pumpkin pie. Instead of visiting your loc

Britney Spears was able to spend the Halloween festivities with her two sons Jayden and Sean. She took them out to pick the best pumpkin to take home for the Halloween and the boys seem to be happy and excited with the pumpkins.

Okay, so maybe I cannot take credit for creating all these cute calico pumpkins, but I did guide the first grade "Harvest Party" celebrants through the process.

The annual pumpkin carving, there's nothing quite like it. My youngest son's school traditionally has a "Fall Festival" - it's called that because we can't say Halloween any longer - even though it's held, every year, on the Friday before Halloween and they carve pumpkins, line the school's sidewalks with them. Light them, display them, have a carnival that evening that is designed around candy,

I bet some of you were misled to think that this post was going to be about the early 90's grunge band "Smashing Pumpkins" based on the title. Sorry for leading you astray, but the act of smashing pumpkins on Halloween has been around much longer than the band. I plan on just posting the records today without any further critique, since the titles mostly speak for themselves.

I feel as though I'm shirking some sort of parental responsibility by not taking Jack to a pumpkin patch. Is there any blog-keeping parent out there who has not taken their child to a pumpkin patch/cider mill, or is not planning to sometime before the end of October?

This is my contribution to Different Strokes this week. I decided to concentrate on the abstract shapes instead of the tones and I thought that acrylic would best suit that purpose.

O allTRIBES divulga a discografia do Smashing Pumpkins, sinceramente achei que já havia postado. Falha nossa! Ouça alto!!!The Smashing Pumpkins é uma banda de rock alternativo norte-americana formada em Chicago no ano de 1988[1]. A banda passou por diversas mudanças de integrantes ao longo do tempo, mas durante a maior parte de sua carreira, eles foram compostos por Billy Corgan (vocais, guitarra), James Iha (guitarra, vocais), D'arcy Wretzky (baixo, vocais) e Jimmy Chamberlin (bateria, percussão). Menos influenciados pelo punk rock do que outras bandas contemporâneas de rock alternativo[2], a banda possui uma sonoridade bastante diversa, densa, com uma forte presença de guitarras e com elementos de rock gótico, heavy metal, dream pop, rock psicodélico, rock progressivo, um estil

Os Smashing Pumpkins afirmaram que podem nunca mais voltar a editar um álbum, informa a NME.
No entanto, a banda ressalvou que não tem intenções de deixar a música, nem tão pouco pretendem separar-se.
O baterista Jimmy Chamberlin escreveu no site oficial da banda: «Embora possamos nunca mais editar um LP novamente, vamos continuar a escrever e a gravar até estarmos mortos».
Os Smashing Pumpkins reuniram-se em 20

Cuando iba en la secundaria no había Sky, Cablevisión no había expandido sus fronteras a La Comarca y los que viviamos en Cuautitlán Izcalli teníamos pocas opciones para ver algo que no fuera televisión abierta en casa. Afortunadamente y gracias al amor de mi papá por la televisión, en la casa teníamos antena parabólica. Era algo parecido a la televisión satelital de ahora, sólo que implicaba una antena de lámina gigantesca en el techo de la casa (para quienes conozcan mi casa habrán visto la antena ahi arriba como una especie de reliquia...). Fue con esa televisión con la que crecí desde finales de la primaria, y fue gracias a eso que pude tener un contacto directo con MTV americano. A principios de los noventa, el movimiento "alternativo" era la noticia del día, era el i

Os Smashing Pumpkins querem processar a sua antiga editora, a Virgin Records . A editora terá utilizado inadvertidamente o nome da banda em várias actividades promocionais, sem a sua autorização. O colectivo de Billy Corgan dá como exemplo uma campanha, intitulada Pepsi Stuff , na qual foi usado o nome Smashing Pumpkins , mesmo sabendo a editora que legalmente não o poderia fazer.
De acordo com o grupo, a Virgin detém os direitos para venda digital da sua música, mas não para utilização do nome da banda na sua própria promoção, pelo que os Smashing Pumpkins acusam a empresa de, dessa forma, ter atentado contra a sua «integridade art
La banda de rock alternativo The Smashing Pumpkins demandó a la discográfica Virgin Records por incumplimiento de contrato al haber usado su nombre y su música en acuerdos promocionales que, en su opinión, han afectado la credibilidad de la banda. En la demanda conocida hoy y presentada el lunes en la corte superior de Los Ángeles, el grupo estadounidense sostiene que el uso de su material por parte de Virgin en una serie de promociones relacionadas con la empresa Pepsi Co. amenaza su "integridad artística". Los Pumpkins, formados en Chicago (Illinois) en 1988, agregaron que "han trabajado duro durante dos décadas para acumular una cantidad considerable de buena voluntad a los ojos del público". La compañía Virgin ha sido la encargada de pub

"Tiny Pumpkins 2"Watercolor14" H x 11" WAnother view of the little "pumpkins." Actually they're gourds, I am told.I tried something new with this one. I painted the entire background before painting the gourds. I think it was a bit easier that way but with such simple shapes that makes sense. If I were to try that with a leafy subject it would probably be a bit more difficult. I think I'll try that next!
