The glowing material is molten glass. She gathers really hot glass onto pipe and makes drawings on paper. Paper that she uses is extremely thick, almost like a slice of plywood, so surprisingly it doesn't get burnt so easily. Etsuko had an exhibition in Pressiton Art Gallery (Pressiton Building, Miami FL)
Pyrography means "writing with fire" and is the traditional art of using a heated tip or wire to burn or scorch designs onto natural materials such as wood or leather. Burning can be done by means of a modern solid-point tool (similar to a soldering iron) or hot wire tool, or a more basic method using a metal implement heated in a fire, or even sunlight concentrated with a magnifying lens.
Tell most people a volcano is erupting and you can bet most of them will start running in the opposite direction before you finish the sentence.
But not in the case of pro-surfer C J Kanuha, who grabbed his board and paddled out to sea to get a closer look as the lava of the world's most active volcano, Kilauea, hit the waters.
Tentative at first, the adrenalin-junkie paddled to within 20ft of the lava, before moving back from water that reached 200C in places, melting the wax on his surfboard and burning his feet in the process.
Kilauea, meaning 'much spreading', has been continually erupting in Hawaii since 1983, but more molten rock than usual is flowing from an outbreak that started last November.
Lava has been spewing as high as 150ft in the air at temperatures up to 1,200C and a surface flow is snaking east from the crater.
Meanwhile, underground 'tubes' are expelling lava into the Pacific ocean creating huge clouds of steam and ash.
But none of this fazed C J as he set out on his daredevil mission.
Scientists at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory have also reported an 'unusually high amount of sulphur dioxide gas' emerging from one of the craters.
Kilauea is a low flat shield volcano. It is the youngest on Big Island and sits on the south-eastern side.
The volcano has its own magma-plumbing system, extending to the surface from more than 60km deep in the earth.
The near constant eruptions have proved an invaluable resource to geologists but the volcano has proved to be a dangerous neighbour.
Kilauea releases a volcanic gas, known as vog, which can irritate respiratory problems. High levels of the noxious fumes have killed several people in the past.
In 1993, a tourist died when the portion of cooled fresh lava on which he was standing broke away and fell into the ocean.
The lava flow has also destroyed homes and sections of the coastal highway over the last two decades.
Kilauea is the home of Madame Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess.
Hawaiian chants and oral traditions tell of the many eruptions created by an angry Pele before the first European, the missionary Reverend William Ellis, saw the summit in 1823.
Everyone has something that they are really good at. Sometimes you get lucky and that skill be also be quite useful.
The following guy has a rather unique skill that might seem hard at first to find value in, but rest assured he has saved more time each night and scored on more than one occasion just for having this nifty skill.
This is a wood framing technology, originally from Japan. Essentially a small group of untrained people can erect an entire house frame in 1-3 days, depending on the size of the structure. Thanks to qureyoon for the submit. Seems not really stable, though.
Hussein Chalayan Spring Summer 2007 Collection continues to view the world as a research laboratory but with an added hint of the supernatural.

This happened in a speed trap town in Missouri called St. George with only a few ... all » officers that think they have more power than they really do. This happened outside of their jurisdiction and they have no police powers, except for felonies in progress, where they stopped me, according to state law.
The commuter lot is open 24 hours a day and can be confirmed by calling 1-888-Ask-MoDOT.
You can see me pass the officer at :08 seconds as he nearly blocks the road as he sits waiting for the next car without license plate lights to come by.
You'll hear this officer tell me he'll make up "9 different charges" including resisting arrest before he has even tried to arrest me. You'll hear him say how I didn't use my turn signal and I was weaving when the video clearly proves him wrong.
I truly thought if I didn't suck up, I would be beaten and maybe killed.
I think the officers last name is Sgt. Kenline, but I am not sure on the spelling, if you know for sure, please email me.
