This guy really is good at what he does. Kid's draw pictures of their 'monsters' and super-heros, and he takes those pictures, and paints them realistically, all the while leaving the basic lines and scope of the drawings. My son really enjoyed this site, as did I. It is very interesting! [Awesome!] THE MONSTER ENGINE - What if a kid's imagination....was better represented? |

"It's outrageous that legislators are not demonstrating that they have Georgia women's best interest at heart," Reis said. "Where are the initiatives to prevent unintended pregnancy? Where is the support for better access to prenatal care and children's health care instead of proposals to interfere with a doctor-patient relationship? Where is the trust that women can make these decisions with their families and doctors and without ideological interference from lawmakers?"
Exactly! Anti-abortion advocates scored a victory Thursday when the state Senate approved three bills supported by Georgia Right to Life.
Chipping away little by little, biding their time till Roe hits the floor of the new ultra-conservative SCOTU. Senate passes 3 bills sought by Georgia Right to Life | ajc.com |

NASA's Cassini spacecraft may have found evidence of liquid water reservoirs that erupt in Yellowstone-like geysers on Saturn's moon Enceladus. The rare occurrence of liquid water so near the surface raises many new questions about the mysterious moon.
There are still many questions that enshroud this discovery. Although other moons in our solar system contain icy crusts, the real discovery here is that liquid water is apparently just below the surface of the moon. Scientists will now beginning exploring the possibility that lifeforms could have existed at one point in this environment... NASA - NASA's Cassini Discovers Potential Liquid Water on Enceladus |

Camera Obscura and Paleolithic Drawings |

"Louisville artist Matt Gatton started thinking of primitive people hunkering inside caves and arrived at a radical, quite possibly revolutionary and insistently plausible theory of the origin of representational art. It struck Gatton, a St. Francis High School art teacher, that the question of how Paleolithic people got the notion to create representational art could be answered by their living conditions. Holes in the animal hides that covered their dwellings could have projected images from outside -- a phenomenon of physics we now call camera obscura. The people could then have traced the images onto their cave walls." Camera Obscura and Paleolithic Drawings |
