1. He’s extra helpful. If your guy shows a sudden interest in doing dishes or picking out sheets at Bed, Bath & Beyond, he may be trying to prove he’s husband material. “Before he pops the question, he’ll subconsciously seek out ways to show off his domestic side,” says Tamsen Fadal, co-author of Why Hasn’t He Proposed? “He wants to make sure you see him as a partner who pulls his weight.”
2. He talks himself up. Even though you have a career of your own and can take care of yourself, most men still want to be on solid financial footing (good job, decent salary, clear credit) before getting engaged. “It’s instinctual for men to want to provide for their partner,” says Les Parrott, PhD, clinical psychologist and author of Crazy Good Sex. “So they’ll frequently point out their ability to do so in the weeks leading up to an engagement.” That means he may brag a little about an accomplishment at work or casually hint that he’s receiving a larger than usual bonus.
3. He acts like you just started dating. Think back to the past few weeks. Has your guy been unusually attentive? Maybe he’s brought you just-because flowers or taken you out on elaborate dates. “He’s pulling out all the stops to make sure that when the time comes, you say yes,” explains Fadal. Yeah, it’s a tad sneaky, but he’s also making those gestures because he’s genuinely excited about the possibility of marrying you. “Planning a proposal reignites that new love buzz for a lot of men,” says Parrott.
4. He quizzes you. When it comes to the actual will-you-marry-me moment, most guys want it to be as personal and meaningful as possible. That may require digging up some little-known facts about you. If your boyfriend has been asking random questions about things like your favorite flower or a childhood memory, he may be gathering info that will help him plan the perfect proposal. “Not only does he want it to be special for you, but he knows all of your friends will ask, ‘how did he do it?’, and he wants you to have an amazing story to tell,” says Parrott.
5. He’s really concerned about the details. On the big day, you can bet your guy will be ridiculously nervous. “Even if he’s certain you’ll say yes, he’s still anxious about whether or not he’ll be able to pull off whatever it is that he has planned,” says Parrott. If he’s typically laid-back but freaks out about being on time to dinner, or he’s borderline aggressive when he insists you order the chocolate cake for dessert, it’s possible he’s got something up sparkly up his sleeve…or least in a little box in his pocket.

The following is a synopsis from the romantic/erotic/action/thriller, First Degree Lust, from this author:
A night out on the town was all Dennis had in mind. He wasn’t looking for a hookup or even a one-nightstand. But a few spins on the dance floor with Minako quickly lead to much more in her bedroom. And after just one steamy night the married woman decided that she wanted Dennis all to herself, permanently. Not wanting to fall into an escape-proof love trap with a married woman, Dennis succeeds in breaking away from Minako.
But his issue with Minako ends up being far from over when she’s found brutally murdered and the evidence points to him. Becoming the subject of an irresistibly huge and highly-publicized bounty imposed by Minako’s immensely wealthy husband, Tetsuya, Dennis spends an entire weekend trying to stay out of the clutches of ragtag bounty hunters while the city is nearly set ablaze.
He succeeds in clearing his name only to find his life in even graver danger. Someone is now trying to kill him. Who’s trying to kill him and why? And what’s the connection between the people who now want him dead and Minako’s murder?
Scrimshaw is craft & art form accredited to whalers and the first examples date from the mid-1700s. The artistic pastime was practiced right up until the demise of commercial whaling whereby the quintessential source of scrimshaw (whale bone, teeth, walrus/other tusks, etc.) was no longer readily available.
Using a heavy gauge sewing needle, spike or nail to scratch and gouge the easily-worked material, the quality of the artist’s scrimshaw varies greatly by the artist’s particular skill level, and time devoted to any creation.
Most original scrimshaw art was unsigned by the artist as the craft was merely a leisure activity, a doodle. Something to pass the time aboard the whaling vessel in the evenings when it was too dark to hunt or process whale.
Modern Day Scrimshaw?
Carving on bone, teeth and tusks of marine and other mammals these days is relegated almost entirely to artisans as a hobby and then, using more contemporary tools such as commercial rotary and dentistry tools. Instead of this being a leisure activity to pass the time it is often performed as a lucrative hobby, something done for financial gain.
I have created numerous animal carvings in wood and stone scarabs over the years but have never worked with bone, tusk, horn/antlers or similar organic fauna material. I am eager to attempt venturing into this intriguing field. I chose to attempt a scrimshaw artwork using a clamshell.
Begin With a Common Clamshell
(Above) Here the simple tracing is complete. I chose to use an Owl of Athena statuette as my subject. Just a simply outline will be enough. Greater detail can be added later during the carving process.
(Above) Using an Exacto or similar hobby knife, scrape and chip around the edges of the tracing. The chalky clamshell is fairly hard but it does carve rather nicely and within minutes you can see good results.
You can alter the outline to render it more accurately. Our chubby little owl will be trimmed-down more throughout this process.
The process of creating a scrimshaw was traditionally performed on whaling vessels during the sailor’s spare time using just sail-needles, sharpened spike, a knife or any sharp-edged object available. Being results-oriented, I’m going to speed this up and switch to diamond-encrusted Dremel rotary micro-bit tools as seen below:
(Above) A typical Dremel-type rotary tool and bits. These are diamond-coated bits, but other varieties such as carborundum work just as well and are slightly less expensive. This set of 6 diamond-coated bits costs under $15.00.
(Above) Using the rotary bits you can create finer detail and add depth, define and feather the edges as you see fit. Both hands need to be used while carving to steady the material. In the image I am not holding the shell because I have the camera in my free hand.
Street art can be a wonderful thing to look at and admire. The corner of York Street and Argyle Street in Glasgow is a place full of street art, as can be witnessed by the following photos. Hope you enjoy the viewing pleasure as much as I did!
Hope you have enjoyed viewing these examples of street art in Glasgow – although it is always best to see it in person. As to who was responsible for doing it all, well, the eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed the signs that say ‘the style mile’ & TPA, which also contains a
These seven crazy things that were either put up for sale or sold will blow you away and will leave you wide eyed and astonished. The following seven objects are in no specific order and are all considered to be pretty weird.
Ex-Wife’s Wedding Dress
This wedding dress you see in the picture above is one of the weirdest things sold on the internet to this date. Most of the time it wouldn’t be unusual to see a wedding dress for sale on the internet, but in this case it was very odd. The man in the picture modeled his Ex-wife’s wedding dress on the internet trying to sell it. After many bids from bizarre people the dress ended up selling for the price of 3,850 dollars. That is crazy.
Britney Spears’ Chewed Gum
Another very bizarre item sold on the internet was, the famous pop star, Brittany Spears chewing gum. Brittany Spears, shown in the picture above, dispensed of her chewing gum in a London Hotel where an unknown person picked it up as a souvenir of the famous pop star. Later the gum chewed by Brittany found its way to the internet where it sold to a crazed fan for $263. Today the chewing gum is framed in the buyers’ house. Money well spent.
USAF Hughes AIM-4D Falcon Missile
Yes I know exactly what you’re thinking, Is that a real missile? Yes it is true a USAF Hughes AIM-4D Falcon Missile was auctioned off on the internet. The missile was like the ones seen in the picture above. The missile was sold to a lucky buyer who paid a whopping $3,950 for it. The missile was disarmed before the sale so it could never be made back into an explosive device. I’m not sure who the buyer or seller was but I know they sure were crazy.
Pretend Monster in Child’s Closet
Bizarre enough a pretend monster from a closet was sold on the internet in early 2007. This pretend monster was sold so the sellers’ child could sleep at night. The sellers young child thought that there was a real monster in the closet and was unable to sleep because of it. The point of the sale was to trick the child in thinking it was gone. I have no other details on the sale besides the fact in which the monster was sold. The monster could have looked like the one in the image above.
Giant Corn Flake Shaped Like Indiana
The image above shows another odd item sold on the internet, a cornflake shaped like Indiana. In Virginia two sisters sold an Illinois-shaped corn flake in hopes of striking it rich. This odd auction had many bidders and attracted lots of publicity. In the end the famous cornflake sold for $1,350 to Jon Wolf who takes it on a road show. Since the sale there have been many copy cat sales including and a potato chip shaped like Florida and a Dorito shaped like Texas. These auctions have not done nearly as well.
George Washington’s Hair
The image in the picture above shows the first president in the United States. Recently four strands reportedly clipped from George Washington’s head were sold on the internet. There is not proof weather or not it is his real hair but the bidding still went on. It is believed that the hair had been snipped from Washington’s head when he was briefly disinterred in 1837. After the auction was complete the four strands of hair was sold for 17 thousand dollars. This is unbelievable.
While most people are looking for a job in this economy, there may be some looking to get out of work. I figured I’d help both groups out – the goofball looking to get out of a job get fired, which may leave room for one of those poor saps desperately seeking work!
1. Insist that your work email address be changed to KingElvis@companyname.com, HitlerRocks@companyname.com, or Ilikebigbutts@companyname.com.
2. Page yourself over the loudspeaker or intercom several times each day: “Jim Smith please come to Jim Smith’s desk for a consultation.”
3. Label your desk trashcan as “Inbox” and place atop your desk.
4. Ask your boss if he/she would like fries with that whenever you’re asked to do something.
5. Tell your boss you’ve just been diagnosed with Papyrophobia (note this would include a shrieking scream at the sight of a piece of paper.)
6. Switch the coffee maker to decaf for two or three weeks, and then switch it to espresso.
7. Begin your sentences with the phrase “according to the guide for bipolar potential mass murderers with odd sexual fetishes ….”
8. Drop all the punctuation from your reports, memos, and the alike.
9. Skip to and from your desk singing “a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down, medicine go doo-wwww-nn.”
10. Ask your co-workers if they work here and for how long. No matter the answer, give em a wink and gut laugh.
11. Compose an email every time you go to the bathroom, including what stall you’ll be in; lunch, including a full list of what you plan to eat and drink; water cooler; snack machine; etc.. Hit “send all” each time!
12. Call the Human Resources Department. Tell them you’re human today and would like to know what resources they have for you – check, cash, money order, cashiers check, direct deposit, coupons, or vouchers.
13. When you see your boss coming toward you, yell out that she told me to do it and point to a flower pot.
14. When your boss asks what’s wrong with you, tell him/her you’ve been hearing voices that keep warning you about the voices in his/her head.
15. Go into your boss’s office in your birthday suit and tell him/her that the poor economy has left you no choice but to downsize your wardrobe expenses.
If you aren’t fired by the time you get to number 15 on this list, then your boss has obviously read it too and is working his/her own way down it. Good luck, and please don’t eat the daisies!
Whether you just want a holiday “for the rest of us” or you’re the biggest Seinfeld fan in the world, celebrate Festivus on Dec. 23 with the following activities. No pressure.
Festivus Pole
Possibly the only required purchase during Festivus celebrations is the Festivus pole, which is made from aluminum and has a high strength-to-weight ratio. Purchase one, made of 100 percent domestically produced aluminum, here for $39.95. The pole is not decorated in any way, and essentially, it’s occasionally looked at but not really admired.
Festivus Dinner
Like other holidays, Festivus officially begins with a large meal. What you serve is up to you, but in “The Strike,” the meat de jour was meatloaf. The original dinner in the O’Keefe house was turkey or ham, followed by a storebought cake decorated with M&Ms.
Airing of Grievances
In the opposite tradition of Thanksgiving, where family members take turns saying what they’re thankful for, Festivus calls for the Airing of Grievances, in which each person tells everyone else at the Festivus meal how they’ve been disappointed over the past year.
Feats of Strength
Though it doesn’t seem like the best timing, right after the holiday meal, the head of the household challenges one person of his choice at the Festivus celebration to a wrestling match. Tradition says that Festivus does not end until the head of the household is pinned in a wrestling match.
Festivus Miracles
You can’t plan a Festivus miracle. It just has to happen – but when it does, you’ll know.

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the flat, not a creature was stirring, not even the cat. The bills were all piled by the chimney with care, In hope that the dosh for them soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of Angry Birds ™ danced in their heads. And Mum with her vodka, I with my nightcap, Had addled our poor brains for a long winter’s nap.
When out in the street there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the curtains and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of mid-day to dust bins below. When, what to my bloodshot eyes should appear, But a tiny black cab, with eight flashing reindeer.
With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St Nick. More rapid than DLR his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them weird names!
Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! On, Cupid! on Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the steps! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. So up to the roof-top the reindeer they flew, With the cab full of Toys, and St Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Through the front door St Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in black, from his head to his foot, Cos his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot. A bundle of goods he had flung on his back, He looked like a day trader, and opened his pack.

Jimmy Savile, born on October 31st 1926, sadly passed away on the 29th of October 2011 (just 2 days shy of his 85th birthday). The legendary showman and television presenter will be sadly missed by many. Here we will look at 10 things you didn’t know about the legend that was Sir Jimmy Savile.
1. Jimmy Savile invented the disco!
Yep, as strange as that may sound, it was Jimmy Savile that invented the disco. I’m sure we have all at one point in our life’s been to a disco and we really have to thank Jimmy Savile for that because at the age of 18 Jimmy Savile became the first person to organise an event for people to dance to records (rather than live bands). He charged a shilling for entrance to this first ever disco and the rest, as they say, is history.
2. Jimmy Savile was the the first presenter of Top Of The Pops!
New Year’s Day 1964 saw the launch of Top Of The Pops, BBC’s attempt at a music chart television programme, and Jimmy Savile was the host. The weekly show continued until 2006 and a Christmas special is still run every year. Apart from hosting Top Of The Pops, Jimmy Savile was also the host of Pop Goes The Sixties, a programme made by the BBC shown on 31st December 1969 which looked back at the music of the swinging 60’s – a decade of music that Jimmy Savile helped oversee.
3. Jimmy Savile appeared on This Is Your Life twice!
The UK version of This Is Your Life first hit the airwaves in 1955 and was last seen in 2007. In between times many celebrities have featured on the show. Jimmy Savile managed to feature on the programme twice because the production team were not aware that he had already appeared on the show previously!
4. Jimmy Savile died in 1994!
Well, comedian Chris Morris read out a broadcast on BBC Radio 1 in 1994 that stated that Jimmy Savile had died and subsequently read out an obituary. The hoax was soon spotted an Chris Morris had to offer a grovelling apology after Jimmy Savile threatened legal action.
5. Jimmy Savile was quite the sportsman!
Although Jimmy Savile will be best remembered for his television work, his sporting talents should not be forgotten. He is said to have ran 212 marathons, participated in over 300 bike runs and even had 107 professional fights. In 1951 Jimmy Savile entered the Tour Of Britain Cycle Race – which he didn’t win. Jimmy Savile also holds the record for the fastest time to run up the BT Tower in London.
6. Jimmy Savile has raised a fortune for charities.
In 40 years of raising money for charities, Jimmy Savile has used his fame to raise over £40 million.
7. You can dress as Jimmy Savile for Halloween.
In 2009 Jimmy Savile put his name to a licenced Halloween costume of himself. Don’t believe me? Here it is:
8. Jimmy Savile once fixed it for a girl to become a gerbil!

He is said to have ran 212 marathons, participated in over 300 bike runs and even had 107 professional fights. In 1951 Jimmy Savile entered the Tour Of Britain Cycle Race – which he didn’t win. Jimmy Savile also holds the record for the fastest time to run up the BT Tower in London.
6. Jimmy Savile has raised a fortune for charities.
In 40 years of raising money for charities, Jimmy Savile has used his fame to raise over £40 million.
7. You can dress as Jimmy Savile for Halloween.
In 2009 Jimmy Savile put his name to a licenced Halloween costume of himself. Don’t believe me? Here it is:
8. Jimmy Savile once fixed it for a girl to become a gerbil!
Jimmy Savile, born on October 31st 1926, sadly passed away on the 29th of October 2011 (just 2 days shy of his 85th birthday). The legendary showman and television presenter will be sadly missed by many. Here we will look at 10 things you didn’t know about the legend that was Sir Jimmy Savile.
1. Jimmy Savile invented the disco!
Yep, as strange as that may sound, it was Jimmy Savile that invented the disco. I’m sure we have all at one point in our life’s been to a disco and we really have to thank Jimmy Savile for that because at the age of 18 Jimmy Savile became the first person to organise an event for people to dance to records (rather than live bands). He charged a shilling for entrance to this first ever disco and the rest, as they say, is history.
2. Jimmy Savile was the the first presenter of Top Of The Pops!
New Year’s Day 1964 saw the launch of Top Of The Pops, BBC’s attempt at a music chart television programme, and Jimmy Savile was the host. The weekly show continued until 2006 and a Christmas special is still run every year. Apart from hosting Top Of The Pops, Jimmy Savile was also the host of Pop Goes The Sixties, a programme made by the BBC shown on 31st December 1969 which looked back at the music of the swinging 60’s – a decade of music that Jimmy Savile helped oversee.
3. Jimmy Savile appeared on This Is Your Life twice!
The UK version of This Is Your Life first hit the airwaves in 1955 and was last seen in 2007. In between times many celebrities have featured on the show. Jimmy Savile managed to feature on the programme twice because the production team were not aware that he had already appeared on the show previously!
4. Jimmy Savile died in 1994!
Well, comedian Chris Morris read out a broadcast on BBC Radio 1 in 1994 that stated that Jimmy Savile had died and subsequently read out an obituary. The hoax was soon spotted an Chris Morris had to offer a grovelling apology after Jimmy Savile threatened legal action.

I am a 65-year-old man living in the great state of Montana and I am starting to worry that I am becoming addicted to computer porn. I look at it basically all day, aside from when I am cooking and tending to my vegetable patch of course. All those beauties just a click away, I can’t resist. To make matters worse, my internet connection is very slow, so much of my day is spent just waiting for my sexy videos to buffer. We don’t get DSL out here so I am considering relocating out of the great state of Montana. My cousin in Indiana tells me he has high-speed internet out there, so maybe that would be a good spot for me. I have contacted my congressman about getting DSL in our county (I told him it was for academic research but I don’t think he believed me as I was looking pretty sex-crazed at the time). I am not sure if I should move to Indiana or try watching porn videos that are not so high-res. Please help me.
Cordially,

Dear Bob from Butte,
First, you should not feel bad or ashamed about your situation. We are all addicted to computer porn to some degree. Believe it or not, I actually flunked out of college because I was trying to run my own amateur porn site. It was called Roger’s Room, I forget why, and it had probably the best selection of amateur porn vids on the web. Unfortunately, I went with a really cheap web host so my site was down like half of the time, and also I faced a lot of backlash over this toilet cam I had planned to set up. As far as your situation goes, I think moving to Indiana sounds like it could be fun, especially if you have family there. Or you could try going old-school and maybe subscribing to Penthouse or Swank or something. There is definitely something about the feel of the printed page, which is why I refuse to buy a Kindle. Best of luck to you!

Love him or hate him, Gadaffi was one of the oddest Despot’s of all time. During his time in power one thing remained the same, his bizarre fashion.
Above the highly decorated Gadaffi, of course all his military accolades were all invented by himself.
Above Gadaffi sports a strange robe/dungaree combination, in brown!
In camouflage, but look again the green patterns are his beloved Africa.
During his high profile period, where he appeared to be making amends, Gadaffi took to dressing down, and living in a tent… A tent next to his palace of course.
A Versace suit, covered by tribal gown and hat. A combination of cutting edge fashion, and respect for tradition.
Towards the end many speculated on his sanity, he’d often sleep through important meetings, and in the above shot, he could easily pass for Lionel Ritchie. Mirrored shades covered his closed eyes.
In purple robes, Gadaffi is flanked by one of his many female bodyguards. Towards the end, just prior to the revolution in Libya all of his key security figures were women.
Again a decorated appearance, and all the medals were either invented or self awarded, despite the fact that Colonel Gadaffi, very rarely saw battle, even in the early days.
Building bridges with the Labour Government of the UK (with a hidden oil deal behind the scenes). This was one of the last times Gadaffi met with British officials, despite the “ground breaking”, new Prime Minister David Cameron declined a visit. In the above outfit, Gadaffi sports a robe, with a suit on top, and another robe on top of that.
He is gone, murdered by his own countries people, angry at his years of control over the country, the killings, the corruption, rape, terrorism, and dodgy deals.
I was no fan of Gadaffi, but I’ll miss his atrocities against fashion, the man really knew how to amuse an audience, by simply getting dressed.
