Art Glass Chandeliers - Something Unique
A museum in the Hakone region of Japan, (a few hours from Tokyo) houses some of the most interesting Venetian crystal ornamentation and lighting. The Venetian Glass Museum or the Hakone Glass Forest, as it’s called, is a great way to see crystal and Murano glass in all its splendor, because, unlike a typical museum, a portion of the displays begin outside where entryway trees are festooned in Murano crystal; some clear, others in beautiful rich colors. These crystal filled trees line the museum’s courtyard.

Automotive Art As An Expression Of Your Personality
People find many ways to express their personality, whether it is through sports, music, art, or another outlet. In any case the creative nature that we have comes to the surface once we have the tools and developed ability to accomplish this. One area that has continued to grow as a result of technological advancement is with computer enhanced graphics. Faster home computers coupled with programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator have taken the high end graphics work once limited to corporations to smaller businesses. The most basic photo manipulation is to correct flaws in the picture, which can be expanded to the more advanced creation of fantasy scenes, such as overlaying multiple images and the addition of special effects.

Early History Of Surfing
If images of the kahuna (experts) ritualistically chanting to the Gods to bring the waves, protect men and women who rode them, bless the carved wood boards, kings and queens battling for wave rights and integration between man and the magic of the sea brings images of the history of Surfing to your mind’s eye, then you must be filled with Aloha, as the Polynesians intended. The history of surfing dates back centuries before the first written account of observing ‘the sport of kings’ in 1779 by Lt. James King in the ship’s log of Captian James Cook’s Discovery.

After a lifetime of building and designing model airplanes, I could be considered an expert on the subject. But, as dear old dad was prone to say, an expert is just an extra spurt away from home. Well, I kinda think of the Internet as my home away from home, so I will just establish my expertness and take it from there.

From childhood lessons to adult lessons and after decades of musical education which included reading notes, chords, scales, music theory, and composition, you would think I'd feel like I had achieved my musical goals. To the contrary, I still have so much more to learn!

Addicted to the Game
Addicted to the Game
By Carson Cockman
I love the game of golf. If possible, I would embrace the game of Golf and give it a big hickey.
I love the genteel atmosphere of Southern golf courses. Even the loveable old Mooresville Municipal Golf Course and Tire Change/ Recycle facility brings a tear to my eye. It could be the fumes from the landfill but I still love it.
Recently, I was introduced to the Tiger Woods 2007 computer golf game. I say introduced because the situation was much like a drug dealer introducing me to crack.
