The 6 Most Humiliating Public Failures by Celebrity Psychics
The frustrating thing about psychics, mediums, and fortune tellers is that they're still able to make a pretty goddamned comfortable living, even in 2013. Their inability to provide empirical evidence that what they do is anything other than a scam to prey on the gullible seems to have had little effect on their bottom line. Still, there have been little victories along the way, and cameras have been there to capture the hilarity. #6. Richard Nelson/Photos.com Contrary to what you might assume, the people most hostile to claims of supernatural powers are magicians. Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images"Let the naivete flow through you." If you're too young to remember, Geller found fame with mind-reading tricks and, more famously, mind-powered spoon bending. With this in mind, Carson surprised Geller on the show by presenting a table full of assorted spoons and knickknacks, rather than letting him bring his own props, and gave Geller free reign to pick whatever trick he wanted to perform. #5.

Recycle a Bicycle Into an Elevator
There's repurposing, and then there's repurposing like a BOSS. That pretty much sums up the ecological efforts of treehouse builder and eco-icon Ethan Schlussler. The Sandpoint, Idaho, resident says he's in the process of finishing construction on a treehouse he built 30 feet in the air. Wanting to devise a way to save himself from "climbing a ladder six and a half million times a day," Schlussler came up with a brilliant way to save himself the trouble. Using an old bike, he rigged a system of pulleys to it, effectively turning it into a pedal-powered elevator. The process also required that Schussler modify the old cycle, cutting off the large sprocket in the front and welding it on the rear gear. MakeZine reports Schlussler's one-person treehouse is almost complete, "I will be building walls and insulating it in the next few weeks, and eventually I intend to live (or at least sleep) in it."

Invisible forms of renewable energy
One of the ongoing objections wind power, Britain’s most promising form of renewable energy, is that it is unsightly and ruins views. I kind of like wind turbines, I think they’re rather graceful, but I appreciate that others don’t. Offshore wind turbines suffer from the same problem, except that they ruin sea views instead of landscapes. Some don’t like solar panels either, especially on older buildings. So that got me thinking – are there any invisible forms of renewable energy? I’m sure there are more, but here are the first four that came to mind: 1. 2. 3. 4. We can’t restrict ourselves to these invisible technologies of course, but not all renewable energy is an aesthetic blight. Like this: Like Loading...

Kubb Movement ~ Game - Toy making projects
There is evidence that when Viking children played they simply used logs found in the forest Kubb, which comes from the Nordic 'Kubspell' which means block throwing game, originated about 1000 years ago in Scandinavia and is an outdoor party game that is played by two teams that can be a single person or up to six each side. Think of it as a sort of Viking skittles that can be played on any flat surface, grass, gravel or even snow are all acceptable (Fig 1). There are no balls to throw but the skittles or blocks as they are called are knocked down with throwing sticks. The game is gaining in popularity and spreading outside of the Scandinavian countries. The pieces can be made from any type of wood but obviously if they are made from hardwood they will last longer. All of the pieces are relatively simple to make and if needs be can be made with a few simple hand tools but of course using power tools speeds the job up. The game continues with each team throwing the sticks alternately. 1.
