Someone once said -

"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right and pray for the people who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living." Amen

Wow look close at this art work. What is it???? 
Just unbelievable


 Wood Chip Artwork by Sergey Bobkov
54-year-old Sergei Bobkov has patented a unique technique of creating amazing sculptures out of Siberian cedar wood-chips.
“It’s not very interesting to do what others can. To create something out of nothing in a completely new way is far more inspiring”.  This is how Sergei Bobkov explains the unique form of art that he created.  He says many people compare his artworks to taxidermy, because they both look so much like the animals they replicate, but Sergei believes they are as different as light and darkness. Whereas taxidermy is all about death, his wood-chip art symbolizes life.
This resident of Kozhany, Russia , has developed his very own technique, that prevents wood-chips from falling apart in time.  After creating about 100-150 chips, from 2-3 inch long cedar stick, he puts them in water for several days.  Then, making use of his surgical precision, he carves the chips into any shape he needs.
Sergey has been doing this for some time now, but he has only created 11 wood-chip sculptures. That’s because just one of these incredible artworks takes around six months to complete, at a work rate of 10 to 12 hours a day, with no days off.  Sergei Bobkov focuses on wildlife creatures, and he studies their anatomy for months, before starting work on a sculpture.
Even though he was offered $27,000 for his wood-chip eagle, Sergei’s Bobkov declined, saying his art is not for sale.

What's in a Barcode? Photos of Interest




Here's a way to find out if what you are buying is from 
the USA or another country?
 
Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or  China ?

If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 
  • 690, 691 or 692, the product is Made in China
  • 471 it is Made in Taiwan . 
Some products do not show consumers the "MADE IN" wording, so you don't know from which country it is made. 

However, you may now refer to the barcode - remember if the first 3 digits are:

  • 690-692 ... then it is MADE IN  CHINA
  •  00 - 09 ...  USA  &  CANADA
  •  30 - 37   FRANCE
  •  40 - 44  GERMANY
  •  471 ...  Taiwan
  •  49 ... JAPAN
  •  50 ...  UK

Yesterday it rained and blew....wow the winds were bad!!!
