BookGlutton Mexican Pointy Boots | Behind the Seams Last month we went to the dusty city of Matehuala, Mexico, in the northern state of San Luís Potosí on the high plateau of the Huasteca Potosina, in search of the pointiest long-toed cowboy boots ever made. Over the past year, the botas vaqueras exóticas phenomenon has overrun the rodeo dance floors and clubs of this area, much to the dissatisfaction of Mexicans who critique the fashions of their countrymen on hotly trafficked style blogs. But we were told we were too late, that the wrongly maligned wearers of what are by far the most wondrous footwear we’ve ever seen had been replaced with short, square, “pig-nosed” boots by stubby contrarians. We’d seen the occasional report about the exotic pointy-boot trend making its way stateside, spreading into Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and other places where big groups of immigrant Mexicans have taken root, and we expected that the odds were pretty low that the style had phased out of Mexico completely. “Everyone does his own thing,” he said.

The Asch Conformity Experiment (1953) The Setup: Solomon Asch wanted to run a series of studies that would document the power of conformity, for the purpose of depressing everyone who would ever read the results. Subjects were told that they would be taking part in a vision test, along with a handful of people. The Result: Questions the subjects were asked were like the puzzle shown here: All they had to do was say which line on the right matched the one on the left. "Wait, you're right! C.

Baśnie Braci Grimm Baśnie Braci Grimm i Mini Mitologia Nordycka - Cóż - wiele serwerów posiłkuje się moją pracą autorską bez pytania mnie o zgodę. Niektóre idą tak daleko, że wprawdzie kopiują i wklejają wszystko bez namysłu, ale dbają o to by pominąć moje nazwisko. Wychodzi na to, że godziny i dni na tłumaczenia tekstów Braci Grimm poświęcił Gal Anonim, a skoro on, to nie ja. Skoro jestem okradany z czegoś, co rozdaję za darmo, to pytam się o sens dalszej pracy Na zakończenie Adres Kontaktowy: forfun małpa buziaczek.pl - niezmiernie rzeadko (ostatnio wcale) sprawdzam pocztę, dlatego polecam księgę gości.

Carved Book Landscapes by Guy Laramee | Colossal - StumbleUpon (click images for detail) For the better part of three decades multidisciplinary artist Guy Laramee has worked as a stage writer, director, composer, a fabricator of musical instruments, a singer, sculptor, painter and writer. Among his sculptural works are two incredible series of carved book landscapes and structures entitled Biblios and The Great Wall, where the dense pages of old books are excavated to reveal serene mountains, plateaus, and ancient structures. So I carve landscapes out of books and I paint Romantic landscapes. Laramee’s next show will be in April of 2012 at the Galerie d’Art d’Outremont in Montreal. Highly Sensitive Persons...Is it a Problem or a Gift? Highly sensitive persons (HSP's) have heightened sensitivity to their environments. If you're a highly sensitive person, your nervous system literally picks up more information than the average person about what's going on around you. As HSP's receive heightened sensory input, you can easily get overloaded by too much stimulation. As an HSP, it is important to become aware of your situation so you can learn to manage it. Highly Sensitive Persons and Extra Sensory Perception As a highly sensitive person you may also have psychic or healing abilities, though you may not yet recognize it. People with extra sensory perception receive information beyond the normal 5 senses. Highly Sensitive Persons with Undeveloped Abilities In our modern scientific and materialistic culture, we are not taught about psychic abilities. If you were to begin to be aware of something extra sensory, you would probably not even allow yourself to register the information.
