Ground beef, rigatoni pasta, olive oil, butter, salt and pepper are also needed.
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook 1 pound rigatoni pasta until slightly underdone (I cooked mine for 12 minutes when the box indicated 14 minutes). One pound of...

Miss-taken...words
Let’s get right to the point. Misusing words makes you look less intelligent than you really are. If you misuse words in your writing, it can damage your credibility and diminish the point you’re trying to make. Even worse, it could completely change the meaning of the sentence.
What follows is a list of the 32 most commonly misused words and phrases.
1. Accept/Except- Although these two words...

In Texas, it’s against the law for anyone to have a pair of pliers in his or her possession. In Philadelphia, you can’t put pretzels in bags based on an Act of 1760. Alaska law says that you can’t look at a moose from an airplane. In Corpus Christie, Texas, it is illegal to raise alligators in your home. In Miami, it is forbidden to imitate an animal. It is against the...

John Cusack: The Final Distraction: McCain/Palin...
SOURCE: THE HUFFINGTON POST
We all know McCain has sold his soul to win. Big mistake: the Democrats are taking the GOP bait, especially on Palin. She is the ultimate distraction. If we’re not careful she’ll be the final distraction. The perfect new celebrity — Sarah Barracuda — to capture the message in the 24-hour spin orgy, all the while attacking Obama as an elite...

Space Invader: The World Shall Be My Mosaic Tile
French artist Space Invader, or simply Invader, loves vintage video games so much that he uses their famous characters as motifs — for the mosaic tiles he puts up in the streets. Tiles? …an interesting twist in street art, we dare to say. Especially since he has been physically mapping the world’s cities with his pixelated art for nearly the last ten years or so. But wait! When he starts...

lao tzu quotes: good for the soul
A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.
All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small.
Ambition has one heel nailed in well, though she stretch her fingers to touch the heavens.
Anticipate the difficult by managing the easy.
At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know...

About my paper works
My paper works have been based around an exploration of the relationship between two and three dimensionality. I find this materialization of a flat piece of paper into a 3D form almost a magic process - or maybe one could call it obvious magic, because the process is obvious and the figures still stick to their origin, without the possibility of escaping.
