Just a couple of comments on Big Brother 10 after the week one goes in the books, right now I am still trying to get a grip on just what is going on in this house, who’s with who, who’s playing who and does every houseguest finally realize “game on”. At the same time, I really don’t remember a big power move being played so early on in Big Brother history before and yet what week, allian
This afternoon there was a piece on Global TV about new higher text messaging rates coming down the pipe from Rogers (and by extension Fido), Bell and Telus. Evidently, the new rates will charge $0.15 per text message — receiving or sending, if you don’t already have a text messaging plan.
But that’s not what [...]
Here is one of the more interesting finds i’ve found via flickr… It’s roughly 61 photos of meat puppet dolls made from stuffed taxidermy skin. Check out ludoviande’s photostream for more of the following photos.
Usurper has started to walk everywhere she can in her quest for ultimate freedom - soon to be followed by world domination. I must say it frightens me to think exactly what she will be like when she can get anywhere she wants to go. She is already determined to climb everything in sight, and [...]

Some well-meaning Obama fans created what they regarded as a “cute and cuddly toy,” intended to introduce children to the political process — a socket puppet monkey with ears just like BHO’s:

The Bush Regime dead-enders believe they can create facts on the ground that will force the next president– at least in their minds– to stay in Iraq. The Bush Regime position calls for dozens of permanent bases and the kind of extraterritoriality that was banished among nations after the Opium Wars and the Boxer Rebellion. [...]
Alien video - Puppet or real E.T.?: Denver Post has the story of the Jeff Peckman alien video which was released during a press conference at the Tivoli Student Union on the Auraria campus in downtown Denver on Friday.Over the course of three minutes or so, the footage shows a white creature with a balloon-shaped head that keeps popping up and down in a windowsill that was 8 feet above ground.

The only thing I like about Gavin + Stacey is Rob Brydon, but James Corden - probably inadvertently - strikes an iconic pose for the average (ok, a tad above average .. ) Brit male in Heat (and the chubby chasers) ...Most of the male bodies seen in 'Men's Fitness' et al are truly unattainable. The models work out many hours a day and go on strict diets. Once the photoshoots are over they can retur

Newly inaugurated President Dimitry Medvedev emphasized in his first speech to the nation the importance of treating “seriously any attempt to sow racial or religious enmity, forment the ideology of terror and extremism, meddle in other states’ affairs and, especially, any attempt to redraw boundaries. The tone was less strident than Putin’s aggressive stance when [...]
Venimos demasiado actualizados así que vamos a meter algún clásico. En el año 1987 el gran cantautor Roger Hodgson edita su segundo disco de estudio como solista luego de su alejamiento de Supertramp.Este trabajo titulado Hai Hai (que quiere decir Si, Si, en japonés) para mí es un excelente trabajo que en su momento no convenció mucho, por eso se retrasó su salida al mercado, y en la misma semana de la publicación del disco, Hodgson tuvo un accidente cayendo escaleras abajo rompiéndose ambas muñecas. Luego de que le dijeran que no iba a poder tocar más, 14 años después sacó The Open door, su tercer album de estudio.Del disco Hai Hai, que tiene 4 o 5 temas brillantes hoy me quedo con un recontra temazo, el que cierra el album Puppet Dance... un maestro el británico, con una
From: Bush speaks on the possibility of another 9/11 US President George Bush has said he believes another 9/11 attack on the United States should be considered a strong possibility and warned that such an attack could originate from Pakistan.In an interview with America's ABC TV, Mr Bush said: "If another September 11 style attack is being planned, it probably is being plotted in Pakistan, and not Afghanistan."Bush said if the terrorists were planning such attacks, they would be found out.

Lombok in Indonesia offers a wide array of entertainment in the form of Cultural shows, cinemas, theatres, comedy shows and puppet shows. The most interesting and popular among them is the puppet shows that are predominantly influenced by Javanese culture.These puppet shows known as Wayang Kulit are done with shadow puppets and depicts life with its incongruities and contradictions and teach the purpose and meaning of life. Mythological stories or legend are also staged in this form of performing art.Wayang Kulit with its origin in Central Java is one of the oldest and highly developed continuous story-telling traditions in the world.

Thank you to SkyWindows for the headsup that the good people at Potter Puppet Pals had finally put out a new video. If you’ve never seen them before ….. do go and check out their site.

Rated PG-13 ….

Today I'm browsing in the designer bag area of Bloomingdale's in Orange County, just looking. The sales lady hardly takes me seriously; she seems to see right through to my practicality. She doesn't ask me if I need help, nothing. Two young 20's come near. Both girls are blond, one with long straight hair and the other with a short bob. Both wear mini skirts and t-shirts. One girl's top says, "Don't hate on me" with a princess crown graphic. The other carries a giant Louis Vuitton bag. Gold bangle bracelets clink with every move. "May I help you ladies?" the sales person says:Bangles: Yeah. Let me see this one, please.Lady: Oh, that's a lovely bag. You've got great taste!Bob: Oooooh! I love it, Stacia! Do you love it?Bangles: It's alright. Yeah, I like it.Lady: It's very stylish, honey. Very classy.Bangles: Yeah, it's cute. Okay, thanks. We'll be back later. The girls go towards the wallets and I follow:Bob: You didn't like it? You're not getting it?Bangles: Nope. I'm go

Leader of Opposition L K Advani has “appealed” to the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) to withdraw its candidate Pratibha Patil from the race for the president of India taking into account the “list of scandals and controversies with which her name is associated.” - Indian Express, 29 June 2007
I’m finding that as my children grow older, my parental rewards are becoming fewer and farther between. No longer do I get to see their cute round asses streaking from the bath tub (nor do I want to,) no longer is it charming to watch them slumber in peace (unless I enjoy watching butt scratching and mouths hanging agape with drool down their cheeks,) and no longer do they look at me with adoration in their eyes.
No, the only things they like to do with them eyes is roll them at me. Cheeky buggers.
Not that it is a completely rewardless and thankless job. (Shh. I’m enjoying my delusions.) There are perks to being a parent to a preteen. You just have to know how to find them.
On Wednesday, my darling son Frac, forgot his lunch at home. So mid-morning, I received a call from the school.
“Hello?”
“Hi Mom!” says my perky son.
“Hey Frac. Are you okay?” Generally a call from the school means one of two things. He’s in the principal&rsquo
Oh man, the first time I saw Team American: World Police I was blown off my feet and laughing my ass off all the way home. Just the way that the puppets would fight and try to be real humans was the funniest shit I have ever seen. I was a fan of Thunderbird’s before but they never moved so ridiculously as Team America.
Well it seems that whilst Trey Parker and Matt Stone where giving there praise to the old Thunderbird’s in Team America, it somehow brought back the puppet genre. A new movie is coming out called Agent Crush which is going to be taking the piss out of James Bond is going to be entirely done by puppets.
These puppets aren’t the ones with strings but the mechanical ones (I think that kind of takes away the fun as the limited movements by string puppets really made it funny) and already has a pretty sweet cast lined up. The star of the show, Agent Crush (played by Ioan Gruffudd), had a little chat to SciFi wire and had this to say

I’ve been a quiet observer for much of the debate on the real estate blogs, but finally have decided to step into the fray in defense of my good friend Athol Kay. The fact is, and I respectfully disagree with him on his point, he takes the view of accipere quam facere praestat injuriam in these matters. He won’t defend himself, but as a friend, I feel I have to step in and say something.
What imputes upon me so to action you ask? Namely this glaring pre-emptive strike in none other than the otherwise fine and respectable journal of Sellsius. After his comments on a post here, apparently he looms so large in the minds of Sellsius he was defended against directly in the follow up post itself.
“Note to Athol: Yes, we’ve all worked over Zillow enough to get what it is and is not. But have the masses?”
In the interests of plenus promptum, yes indeed Athol has received a Zillow T-Shirt, 2 bumper stickers, an awkward notepad and a variety of
As a child, I used to love to make shadow puppets using just my hands and casting a shadow onto a white wall. By contorting my hands into obscure shapes I became quite proficient in birds, animals and talking people.
Taking things one stage further, at school we had a shadow puppet theatre. My classmates and I would spend hours cutting out shapes for various body parts and then building our
Found this creepy picture on another seocontest site. It frightens me! I would be so scared if I was surrounded by creepy sock puppets and this boy looks scared too! I found this at http://seoblackhat.com/feed/ (figure I would give them a link since I had ripped their horror-picture.
In Amazing Spider-Man #536, our legendary wall-crawler is exploited further by writer J. Michael Straczynski for anti-war propaganda. I think the whole of his speech can be found here at 10 Zen Monkeys. But be advised that this appears to be a very biased website, to the point where they say thatFor years conservatives have been justifying foreign imperialism by invoking the famous words of his kindly uncle Ben — that "with great power comes great responsibility" (Senators currently invoking the wisdom of Spider-Man comic books include Republican Deputy Whip Jim Demint, and Sam Brownback, whose web page still argues that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction). This month someone writing for Marvel Comics had apparently had enough. Specifically, contributing writer J. Michael Straczynski.This sounds like an attack on what made Spidey's whole story work in the first place - that he was an anti-hero who learned, however difficult it was on the way, that if he's going to
In what has to be one of the most ridiculous displays of a shameless "party line" style coordinated spin, the Massachusetts Association of Realtors (MAR) has decided to simply "cop" the exact lingo put forth by its national counterpart, the National Association of Realtors (NAR), when addressing the outlook for housing.Examine the following statements found in two separate "existing home sales" reports (one for the nation by NAR, the other for Massachusetts by MAR) released Thursday:NAR President Pat Vredevoogd Combs:"Mortgage interest rates are the lowest they've been since January… This is increasing buying power at the same time that sellers are showing a willingness to negotiate price and terms. Combined with a plentiful supply of homes on the market, there's a window for buyers now…"MAR President David Wluka:"With home prices leveling, interest rates remaining low, inventory still plentiful and more sellers accepting market-based pricing, Bay State homebuye
Cathy Youngll regret if I communicate with them again.
I have ambition. I wish to be taken seriously as an independent scholar of pop culture. Although Young thinks that transgressors have been punished too severely, she gives good reasons why sock puppetry is unacceptable behavior for those seeking credibility and intellectual respect. My first sock puppet will therefore be my last.

You can put this simple puppet theater together in an afternoon. With several yards of fabric and a tension curtain rod you can put together a theater to satisfy your toughest critics.I used about 3 2/3 yards of blue fabric, cut out windows for the puppets, interfaced around the holes for added strength, and finished the edges. I then sewed yellow curtains around the windows with tie-backs and finished the outer edges of the sheet, leaving a gap wide enough for the tension rod to fit through at the top.If you want to get fancy you can even sew a pocket for puppets on the back of the theater. The tension rod allows you to hang the theater curtain in a doorway, hallway or from a bunkbed.Maybe I'll post some of our favorite puppet-making ideas next week.Technorati tags: WFMW parenting, theater, children's activities, motherhood, toys
