Crap!

Now this is jewelry! I think that I am in love with British based jewelry designer Frances Wadsworth-Jones. Talk about thinking outside of the box. Her brooch is from her series entitled “Heaven Sent” and it is inspired by none other than bird poop. It contains cultured pearls, tourmaline, onyx and more. She herself says it gives new meaning [more...]

Absolute power gets blamed absolutely

Obama From Left To Right

Committed liberals and conservatives place a much higher priority on the achievement of specific goals and policies in their predictions of the success or failure of the Barak Obama presidency than those who might best be called centrists.
