Stroke affects millions of people worldwide every day. In fact, in the US alone, 600,000 to 700,000 people experience yearly. That is a staggering amount! Defined as interruptions of the blood supply to any part of the brain which leads to brain or cell damage, it has become the third leading cause of death in America.

So do you want to save a life? Here are simple symptoms to recognise possible stroke. Ask the person:

S – Ask them to SMILE

T- Ask them to TALK coherently. Even stringing together a simple sentence like, “I had a good time today”.

R – Ask them to raise both arms above their heads.

Not that I sew other than to darn my old socks…but this is pretty cool when it comes to reinventions.

I think a camel can now seriously think of squeezing itself through this needle.

Designed by Woo Moon-Hyung the Big Eye Needle is exactly what it says on the label. A needle with a rather big eye for easy thread stuffing.

I just wish this was around when I was doing my home economics in High School!

Christopher Greenslate, 28, and Kerri Leonard, 29, are experimenting if they can survive on $1 dollar of food a day for a whole month. Their progress and stories can be followed on their blog at: http://onedollardietproject.wordpress.com/.

It seems like an interesting experiment. The rules are simple, both high school social studies teachers have to:

1. Only consume food that totals $1 each day for each one of them.

2. Not accept free food or donated food unless it is available to everyone (example, foraging, samples in stores, dumpster diving, etc).

3. Any food that they plant, they pay for.

4. Do their best to cook a variety of meals.

5. Should they decide to have guests over during mealtimes they must eat from the couples share. Which means that meaning guests don’t get to eat their own dollar’s worth of food.

Hmm, I don’t think they’ll be having any guests over during that time!

On the blog The Human Marvels (http://thehumanmarvels.com/?p=900) you'll find an interesting article on Sam Alexander dubbed the Man with Two Faces. The blog also chronicles the stories of other extraordinary people such as The Two Headed Mexican and The Human Fountain. Here you'll find the human story behind the image that may astound, scare or even repulse you.

Centuries ago, knights on horseback drank wine from this to avoid spillage. Used widely around the 1500’s and 1600’s, the kuttrolfen typically had narrow curved necks to slow the pouring of its contents down to a trickle.

Today, the design has been updated by Czech glass maker Josef Flek. It has also been designed in such a way that wine is aerated as it is being poured out.

Each item is signed by the atist himself and is retailing at about $38.00 - $58.00 depending on which size you choose.
