Ever Changing

This object, by Marlon Darbeau, called, "Verb" is multiple things in one. Is is a stool, a lamp, a table, and whatever else one can think of it being. It is not only very diverse but an interesting color scheme and very practical for someone with children who like interesting things like this and like to explore and take things apart. Also very nice for a modern look and feel in a home or office setting.

Beer Mugs Gone Too Far?

Sam Adams Boston Lager put out a commercial stating that this new mug design is imperative to the complete fulfillment of ones experience drinking this beer. They say that to fully enjoy the experience one must understand the different tastes and aromas and know that even the way it is poured adds to the experience. As this may be true to some extent and a mug can make a difference in some cases, this description of each and every last detail of the mug and its purpose is going a little overboard. The exact reasoning for even the litte etches at the bottom of the glass may be taking the design from a visual thing to an actual experience.

Sprial Wine Cellars

This company, Spiral Cellars, sets up a new kind of panic room for your home. They are a bunch of men who come to your house and literally dig up your foundation to build a spiral staircase below a room in your house. The stairs are full of shelves for wine and go down pretty far. I think this is a new and unique way to add a modern and fun look and feel to your house. For wine-os who can not get enough of this kind of stuff this service is not only fun but extremely convenient and useful.

Red's Traits

Little Red Riding Hood is very young and well described as naive.  She is innocent and obviously has not experienced much of what she will in her later years.  When the wolf in the story is speaking to her he easily deceives her and she finds him to be kind and helpful.  In reality, he is trying to trick her and take advantage of her completely.  Not only was she easily tricked but she was very obedient and trustworthy.  She listened to what her elders told her and went on her way.  It is said that some people have seen a sexual innocence and innuendo in the story.  They see it as her being extremely innocent and he wolf trying to steal her innocence.  I see the story in a more upfront way in saying that she is just a young and naive child that is learning a hard lesson by the end of the story.
