Creating the Mobile Frame Creating the frame for my ornament tree mobile turned out to be fairly simple. For the top of the mobile I needed something that would allow me to easily secure a lot of hanging points without them sliding around too much.

I joined the chains using another lanyard hook, and put that on a little carabiner which hung from the hook in the ceiling.

Nor does it guarantee that you're going to wear an ascot at all times or punctuate every sentence with "girlfriend" or a sassy "mmmm hmmm." So, if you're a person who really needs to know the sexuality of the strangers you run into, figuring it out usually isn't as easy as a quick once-over.

Yale Law Student Sends Blistering Open Letter To Classmates Calling Them Out Law School can be tough, but Yale Law School can kill you — or in the very least make you go insane. If it’s not enough that you spend hours upon hours on your studies just to pass one exam that will either make or break your career, you have to deal with stuck-up, sensitive, humorless douches. One student had enough and decided to share his frustration with his classmates on Yale’s public “Wall.” Dear tYLS or tWall or whatever dumb shit you call it these days: I am a second-semester 3L. Why am I telling you all of this? I realized I hate law and politics. I’ve watched as you guys get offended over the dumbest shit and wax political over the dumbest shit. I thought Muslim terrorists were pretty bad for getting offended to the point of wanting to cause physical violence over a drawing, but I’m willing to bet there are a couple of words I could throw out there on this forum that would turn even you guys into rabid angry dogs.

The 5 Least Surprising Toy Recalls of All Time As children prepare to gather around the Christmas tree to open gift-wrapped toys, lets take a moment to remember some of the toy recalls that companies, parents and even children probably should have seen coming a mile away. Because after all, children shouldn't be the only ones who can't sleep the night before Christmas. The Cabbage Patch Snacktime Kids Doll It's not entirely surprising that a Cabbage Patch Kids doll ended up trying to eat children. The doll was unleashed on the masses in the fall of 1996 and more than 500,000 were recalled less than a year later by the U.S. Parents reported their children's hair, fingers and skin getting caught in the doll's gullet, which turned out to be so powerful, it could even rip hair clean out of its roots. The CPSC ordered a recall and Mattel offered a $40 refund. Kinder Chocolate Eggs Food and toys have a strong relationship. Leave it to the Germans to turn childhood joy into unrelenting horror.
