He uses a technique know as Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP, that gives him the ability to convince people to do anything he wants them to do. In this video Derren convinces tellers at a dog track in the UK that he has a winning ticket
I don’t have cable service so XBox and now iTunes movie rentals should make perfect sense for me. I hate going to blockbuster and sometimes I can’t wait for my next Nexflix movie to arrive. But it’s still difficult to rent movies on my terms. I have two problems with online rentals. 1. The rental
Ah, peace-loving, vegan hippos hanging with carnivorous, blood-lusting crocodiles. They get along so easily. Why can’t we? Harmonius Hippos and Crocs
Food is precious. Life is precious. So I applaud Jamie Oliver’s recent televised “gala dinner” where he slaughtered a chicken in front of his guests “to awaken British consumers to the high costs of cheap chicken” (nytimes article). Food should be respected and we need to be more connected to it. The standards for food,
We all have opinions about things we are passionate about and I am no different. So here is my quick take on Apple’s new member to the MacBook line. The MacBook Air. (First Look at the MacBook Air) Absolutely Gorgeous Yes. It is gorgeous and super thin and light. Ok. I love the black keys
People in Order is a short film by Lenka Clayton and James Price that chronologically follows 100 people banging a drum. From 1 to 100. People in Order’s Age is part of a series of short films that assembles the people of Britain in a given order. In just 3 minutes, we meet 100 different
Kat and I went down to the south loop for a little long eared owl watching, which was amazing. It was about a month ago that (approx.) ten long eared owls took up residence in a small park in the Chicago’s South Loop. Rare indeed. From what I gather Owls tend to be private and
The one thing I could always count on growing up was rice pilaf. Holidays. Thanksgiving. Family parties. There was always huge patches of this family staple ready to be devoured. I’d pile this dish onto my plate and throw a few cheese boeregs on top and I would be set. My friends got through college
If I had a food blog award to give away, it would go to SushiDay.com… hands down. photo stolen from: http://sushiday.com/archives/2006/11/09/firecracker-roll/ Chef Allison makes some of the most beautiful rolls I have ever seen. I too am just amazed at her creative feat… Such clever rolls, combos that make my mouth water. I mean come
A fantastic movie plus one of my favorite bands of all time come together. Thanks caglo8.
I had never heard of Joel Robert Harris until I came across a Reddit post linking to a chronology of his art work, starting at age 5. http://www.joelharrisstudio.com/chronology.htm It is not only amazing to see an artist progress in technique, but also being able to see the different themes and ideas he explored throughout his
When you really enjoy what you work, overtime is a non issue. The word does not exist. It is not even a consideration. You just do until you are done – Which can last years. Jobs have set hours. 9-5. Any action you take outside of these hours that contributes to your job would be
Lobster has to be one of my favorite creatures to devour. Boil ’em. Grill ’em. I don’t care. I love it! It turns out they feel the same way about their tasty flesh. Once a lobster has gone through a moulting process, shedding of its shell, a five hour long process, it feasts on the
Just watched a preview for the re-birth of the television show American Gladiators which was a great show, but what I really miss is G.L.O.W. Ah, Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. Coming of age would not have been so sweet.
I usually don’t make new years resolutions simply because they end up being too general or too abstract. “Lose weight”, “be more outgoing” etc. I never think of these resolutions as goals, but rather as general guidelines so I tend to fall off the wagon pretty quickly. Not this year. Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop This
