Well, wooden bulb is not actually wooden. Designed by Barend Hemmes, this clever lamp is shaped like a giant light-bulb and houses a real light-bulb inside. Made from laser cut wood, which leaves a crisp burned edge and creates a satisfying, waffle-like glow. Either hung from the ceiling or laid on its side, the Wooden Bulb will add a little tongue-in-cheek humor - as well as light - to any room.

Personally, I love the effect & ambient created when a group of Wooden bulbs hang together, some higher some lower. The bulbs are almost as expressive as their shadows.

According to Cornelius, " the camper is to give people a better understanding of the country, the surrounding, and the range they have traveled. The traveling vehicle is always with you like some kind of a base camp, while also being used for moving on in an easygoing and spontaneous way."

Ryan Dunn's, He got a tattoo of Dunn's face | Jackass

Ryan Dunn's boys have been dealing with the Jackass daredevil's death via auto accident in their own ways. He got a tattoo of Dunn's face.

"Jackass" star Ryan Dunn was colorful and fearless. Equally colorful were the tattoos the daring entertainer rocked at the height of his fame and success on TV and on film. Among his numerous tattoos were stars, red hot and exploding grenades and an Otter, to list four motifs.

Wee-Man chose to immortalize his pal with a portrait of Dunn smoking a cigarette on his leg with the words "Random Hero" written under it, and even documented his memorial making process. In the video, Wee-Man's explains the reasoning behind his unusual grieving process and says, "It's something he'd probably do for any one of us if it was one of us in the situation." Given Dunn's affinity for tattoos, we'd have to agree.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the first of a trilogy based on the Swedish novels of Stieg Larsson

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the first of a trilogy based on the Swedish novels of Stieg Larsson. The story, set in Sweden, follows Mikael (Michael Nyqvist), a journalist facing prison after being set-up, and Lisbeth (Noomi Rapace), a hacker on probation with a mysterious and troubled past. Their paths cross in the quest to solve a 15 year old cold-case disappearance. During which they encounter many twists, cover-ups, and close calls.

The novel begins in a slightly tedious manner which may prompt one to dump the book, but it is recommended that you continue because the pace then picks up and the story gets much more involving and intriguing. The Novel offers a mix of all emotions with interesting storytelling and ample number of characters and twists and turns to keep you hooked. Being a crime mystery novel, it mixes the intrigue with suspense, drama, disgust and some comic relief in portions. Reading the other books is hence... inevitable! This is one of the very good fiction books I've come across.

Sanjay Mathur has given review on fiction books on is associated with Simply Books which is an Booksore to buy books online at attractive discounts and free shipping by courier.

Originally (& rightfully) entitled Män som hatar kvinnor [Men Who Hate Women], there are some heinous actions depicted against women, especially Lisbeth. Swedish actress Noomi Rapace's portrayal of Lisbeth is astonishing and stands-outs in a film full of strong performances. Played with an edge, Lisbeth is often teetering on the border of sanity and despondency. Mikael and Lisbeth share a complicated bond and their relationship is handled deftly. Mikael falls in love almost instantaneously, Lisbeth however is reluctant. Understandable given her previous history with men. Their romantic link is filled with subtleties and dispassion, avoiding most clichés and expectations.

If the quality of the films stays consistent, Sweden will emerge as a foreign cinematic powerhouse.
