What a thought My dad has been trying to work out a way of getting to the ridge without my having to clamber up there, but in the end I convinced him on the practicality of being able to access both sides, and to the roof I went.

Audree was always pretty. She definitely has good bones, but over time Audree's looks had, well, faded a bit. It happens. Life on the road takes a toll on a girl.

Have you seen the commercials for the Vicks Vapor shower disk thingies? You put one of these disks in your shower, and voila thanks to the vapors in it, you're magically healed, your cold is gone, and your face is shockingly free of snot. I always used to watch the "Noxema girl" splashing water on her face and wondered how she was able to wash her face without being completely overrun with boogers. I'm the only one? Yes? Ok, moving along then... http://beingfrugalbychoice.blogspot.com/2012/03/homemade-vicks-vapor-shower-disks.html

Rich Reads: Historical Fiction Fit For A Queen

Harriet Russell I have always loved a great story set in the past. Give me a high-powered historical plot, and I will keep turning those pages until my eyes cross. Kings or consuls, functionaries or janissaries, it doesn't matter, only that it pounds onward to the conclusion — volcano explosion, battle or market crash.

Riusuke Fukahori Paints Three-Dimensional Goldfish Embedded in Layers of Resin

First: watch the video. Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori paints three-dimensional goldfish using a complex process of poured resin. The fish are painted meticulously, layer by layer, the sandwiched slices revealing slightly more about each creature, similar to the function of a 3D printer.
http://www.conceptualdevices.com/category/001_projects/ The 20th Century left vast, abandoned, spaces in our cities. Warehouses, factories, military barracks have been built and abandoned in a relatively short period of time. Now, the contemporary city is elaborating new strategies to re-inhabit these empty shells.

PRETTY PROVIDENCE

Okay guys, this might change your life. Do you love Redbox? Guess what. It's free. Say what?
Now that my university is closed for winter holidays, I finally have more free time to do all the crafty things I’ve been wanting to. One of these is a lamp made from plastic cups I’ve seen at taf , the art foundation, in the Monastiraki region in the center of Athens. When I first saw it at taf , I was amazed; I looked closely and I couldn’t believe my eyes! The object itself is so peculiar, modern and alien-like it could be in any design exhibition.

A bit of green :: Crafts :: Plastic Cup Lamp

This post has been sitting on our WordPress shelves for quite a while! I made this DIY Android tablet case from a second hand vintage book for Alex’s brithday last year. I’m happy to report he was thrilled! It’s one of the most awesome, easy and low cost DIY gifts ever and I think it’s perfectly suitable for a Christmas gift; so I thought it was more than appropriate to post it now. It’s also an excellent excuse to go thrifting.

What Compassion Is

Photo: pedrosimones7 The other day I was out walking my son in his stroller (my now constant occupation) when a homeless woman approached me asking for money. I’d seen her before in the neighborhood many times, including behind our condominium using drugs. I turned down her request and continued walking, to my chagrin, as if the wind had blown a newspaper against my leg and I’d kicked it away without any thought.

TLC :: Miami Ink :: Ultimate To Do List

Ami James counts down 30 of the most mind-blowing experiences the world has to offer. These are the ultimate things to do while you're still young enough to do them and get away with it! Ami offers the following three rules for getting a tattoo. Make sure that whatever you're going to get tattooed is something that you put a lot of thought into. It's one thing to get your kid's name tattooed, but remember tattoos last a lot longer than romance. Don't get tattooed for anyone else, get tattooed for you.
This book contains 209 tales collected by the brothers Grimm. The exact print source is unknown. The etext appears to be based on the translation by Margaret Hunt called Grimm's Household Tales , but it is not identical to her edition. (Some of the translations are slightly different, the arrangement also differs, and the Grimm's scholarly notes are not included.) The etext received by the Universal Library did not include story titles. They have been restored in this edition, based on Hunt's titles.
