| Playing "Board Games" - An ancient pastime |
| 2008-07-23 12:38:45 |
I love to play board games. At student age, I had many board games like "ludo, snakes and ladders, scrabble, monopoly and many more, but now I play board games at computer and my favourite games are "word games", "scrabble" etc, which I play from Board Game cd's. Being an educator and blogger I don't get much times, but whenever I am bored, I like to play "board games" for some moments. Board games are not meant for any specific age group. Board games have been present for ages, and there is no doubt that it has been an ancient pastime/hobby from a long time ago. Definition of Board Games:"Board game is a game in which counters or pieces that are placed on, removed from, or moved across a "...

| Learn Air brush lessons and tips |
| 2008-07-22 13:29:04 |
There was a time when only artists and illustrators used "air brush" technique for easiness and professional perfection. But now you can airbrush on any of the surfaces: motorcycles, illustrations, models, T-Shirts, leather, fingernails, crafts, batting or motorcycle helmets, goalie masks, canvas, wood, tanning, temp tattoo's, etc.Air brushing allows artists and illustrators to create highly rendered images and a high level of realism. Airbrushes are commonly used by scale modeling enthusiasts because finer coats can be laid down, as well as opaque effects, like weathering, adding stains etc. The fine atomization of paint in modern airbrushes also makes it possible to accurately reproduce soft-edged mottled camouflage schemes, which are very hard to do convincingly by hand-brushing.

| Hobbies and their importance for women |
| 2008-07-22 12:31:24 |
Hobbies, leisures or recreation are not pastime activities but they help us keeping our mind relaxed and it effects our health also. Peter Lichtenberg, Ph.D., director of the Institute of Gerontology at Wayne State University says:"Hobbies can engage you physically and mentally. People who have a hobby "are generally healthier. We also know they are at a lower risk for depression and dementia. The great value of hobbies is they're a way for people to stay engaged on multiple levels."So hobbies are important for all, but it is very strange fact that we don't take women's hobbies very seriously. Women are supposed to engage themselves in daily life, work and home chores. But women also need recreation in the form of hobbies ...

| 2008-07-10 04:23:33 |
Wet paint is a social community site. A Wetpaint website is built on the power of collaborative thinking.The story behind creation of this site is quite interesting:"The idea behind Wetpaint came to us when one of our friends was diagnosed with cancer. After the initial shock wore off, he did what most of us would do; he went online to learn everything he could about the disease. He found lots of facts, but not the stuff he really wanted to know—like how other people with cancer were coping. As we sat helplessly on the sidelines of our friend's dilemma, it dawned on us: why not make it easy for groups of people to share information, experiences and build social communities around anything they want?A Wetpaint website is built on the power of collaborative...

"It is in his pleasure that a man really lives; it is from his leisure that he constructs the true fabric of self.~Agnes Repplier"We use this word very frequently but usually we don't think more about the meaning in details.Wikipedia describes it:Leisure or free time, is a period of time spent out of work and essential domestic activity.

Like we through away the cylinderical paper from toilet paper or kitchen roll. I make many crafts from those rolls. You can make a pencil hoder, by just using w...
