Grizzly Cam. Rose Bowl: Oregon Ducks defenders far from intimidated by Wisconsin's massive offensive line. View full sizeAP Photo/Don RyanArizona State quarterback Brock Osweiler, left, is tackled by Oregon's Ricky Heimuli (90), top right, and Terrell Turner (45) during the first quarter of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Oct. 15, 2011, in Eugene, Ore. EUGENE – Yes, Wisconsin’s offensive line is huge. Monstrous. Ginormous.

I don't even remember what my other two wishes were. Oh, it was awesome for a while. Mankind did some really amazing shit over the next couple hundred million years. But then they started evolving. But it seemed to keep getting hotter. Then there was this galaxy that was fucking huge in the sky. Now, the sun exploding itself was an even cooler sight than all those extra stars. So I waited. But then the damnedest thing happened. Now let me tell you, I thought it was cold on solid ground with no sun, but that was nothing. I landed on planets or even in stars from time to time.
But eventually I drifted out of the galaxy altogether. This went on for a long fucking time. But that's where it ended.

Nothing inside the out-of-date encyclopedias, medical journals, illustration books, or dictionaries is relocated or implanted, only removed. Dettmer manipulates the pages and spines to form the shape of his sculptures. He also folds, bends, rolls, and stacks multiple books to create completely original sculptural forms. "My work is a collaboration with the existing material and its past creators and the completed pieces expose new relationships of the book’s internal elements exactly where they have been since their original conception," he says. "The richness and depth of the book is universally respected yet often undiscovered as the monopoly of the form and relevance of the information fades over time. Dettmer is originally from Chicago, where he studied at Columbia College.

How To Make A Solar Powered USB Charger (Gadgets) Turn those so-so solar powered garden lamps into a useful, portable, USB device charger!
Step 1: Introduction Solar powered garden lamps were a great idea that just haven't worked very well. Let me show you to turn these garden lamps into something really useful.

Step 4: Voltage Testing with a voltmeter shows an output of two and a quarter to two and a half volts.
