Vampires

Writers love to make exotic romance between a vampire and a human, but in some way make it sound funny. The love of a woman can change the most terrible beast. A wolf man can't feel the same because his beast mutation makes it forget his most dearly friend, and all the scenes are in the woods like 'little riding hood'. Under World movie the wolf was capable to love a vampire with intensity. But the thing is Dracula, always was passionate especially with woman. It is his favorite bloody dish, because he ended sucking her blood to make her love eternal. Everything is bloody from the beginning to the end of the scenario. In the series of Buffy The Vampire Slayer her friend the vampire, a dearly love turned evil. How many audiences love this part of Buffy? Everyone was waiting for Buffy and Angel to end like Spider-man with Jane in a happy marriage. While Twilight New Moon is showing vampires can be evil if they want it, something that in an old vampire stories was impossible, because they were related to the evil prince of darkness. Blade was half vampire and human so he had more control of his bloody sucking emotions, at the end, the woman he loved vanished like a piece of burning paper ashes. Writers write about evil because in the world where we are living there are people like vampires committing crime to innocent people. So, they put up their imagination in a crazy sequence to reveal that crime need to have stop. Some people that love such vampire stories have made a religion; they wish to live in their folly imagination. I ask myself, how bad they can feel themselves after practicing such kind of stupidity. (Any way, that not the point) After all, I like vampire stories because I am curious to see the horror such scene. By conclusion, don't trust the brain of Dracula.

Reasons to read Book

One of the reasons that I like to read a book is to read the original scene made by the author. Also, I get better information and discover points that won’t be seen in a movie. Movie makers drive the scene straight to the action, and then the play has a short time about 90 minutes or less to show a complete drama, so they can’t cover that entire extra part the writer is telling you. In a movie they change or modify the scene that ends different to the manuscript, they assume that their idea in some way is better for the viewer. But some people, for example myself, I like to see the movie the same as I read it on the book or comic. That is one of the good points to keep reading those books that share great fiction, fantasy, and adventure stories.

Here is a list of vampire books to read:
















One of the most popular vampires is Dracula who seem to appear for first time in England. Since Dracula many stories has been writing very successful growing the market. It is a mystery how such fiction broad up, but ancient people use to make fantastic tales of mystic appearance from not where. My grandmother use to tale that a bloody incident between two brothers, who killed each other, provokes that two ghost dog appeared in the middle of night fighting and shooting trying to be like the two brothers. So, what it is the bloody massacre behind the legend of Dracula? Nobody knows. If you know the true about Dracula you can leave your comment and opinion.

Building Your Digital Scrapbooking Supplies Collection in 7 Easy Steps

By: Rhonda Doran-Neil
You can find digital scrapbooking content in thousands of places on the Internet. The big question is how to gather all the stuff you might need for your scrapbook projects without breaking the bank. Plus, when there are so many great kits to choose from, how do you pick the ones that are right for you?



Here's the silver lining: there are many beautiful, low-cost digital packs and themes, and even gorgeous digital freebies that will work really well for you. Lots of professionally-designed kits sell for under five dollars on some of the top scrapbooking sites. Plenty of designers and talented amateurs will even share their stuff for free when you agree to only use their content in personal projects (i.e., not for resale or redistribution).

However, there may be a whole lot of kits out there, but you still have to figure out which ones are right for you. Simply stocking up on everything you find isn't necessarily the best plan. You're going to want top-notch designs and flexibility, plus you don't want to download a whole of pile of things you'll never look at again.

1. Step one in stocking your perfect digital scrapbooking stash is to get out pen and paper and itemize the kinds of scrapbook themes you are likely to make, such as School, Little Boy, Grandchildren, and Genealogy. It's a good idea to include a few "general-purpose" kits that you can use in a whole bunch of different scrapbook types. Once you search for the themes on your list, you can turn your attention to checking out what's included and the quality of what you find in those kits.


2. Next, think of the different elements that make up a great layout: background paper, embellishments, paper scraps or mats, and maybe even some shapes. Look for kits that include all or most of these things. A kit that has all of these coordinating elements is the best way to stretch your dollar.

3. Remember that the best digital scrapbooking supply sites show you "what's in the box" by listing exactly what's included in each kit they sell. Preferably, you will also be shown images of the elements that are included in your kit, allowing you to view what you get before your buy, and also to decide if the style of the kit suits your taste. Nobody wants to spend money or precious time on downloading content that isn't at all like you thought it would be.

4. Some kits come with coordinating theme pages, plopper/quick pages or editable templates. Editable templates are by far your best value here as you have the option to "tweak" the layout's pre-fab design. You can also use an editable template over and over again, tweaking it each time to keep your pages looking fresh and original.

5. Don't forget how important it is to have a really good quality scrapbooking program when building a smart collection of scrapbooking elements. There are wonderful programs out there that let you alter the color, shape, and even the "texture" of your paper scraps and elements. The pay off for you is that you can constantly transform your embellishments and papers, giving them a whole different look to suit every new project.

6. This may be the best value in the industry: the mega scrapbooking pack, including the work of multiple artists. Mega packs often include editable templates, and complete kits full of paper scraps, shapes, embellishments, and background papers. You "score" in the sense that you get all sorts of great stuff for your pages, plus you have a whole bunch of styles to choose from as each designer has his or her unique "look".

7. Remember that your scrapbooking software can also play a crucial part in putting together your content collection. Choose a program that offers a great-looking content pack that includes all the necessary elements for great layouts. Ideally, your program will come with templates that you can edit, and complete kits so that the task of making stylish pages is a snap.

The bottom line: take a moment to plan the scrapbook projects you want to make. Then, look for suitable kits that include all the components of a scrapbook page in a coordinating style. Stretch your dollar further by looking for editable templates, and digital scrapbooking software that lets you creatively alter your scrapbooking content.

Glass Mosaic Tile Art: Do We Cut or Break Glass (Does it Matter)?

by: Bill Enslen

Making wonderful glass mosaic tile art is easy! Let me show you how.

Ever wonder what glass actually is? Do we cut it or break it (is there a difference)? Why and how does scoring a line allow us to control the way glass breaks? To fully understand why we cut glass the way we do, we should first understand a bit about glass itself.

There are two types of solids: amorphous and crystalline. (Huh? Amorphous? Wasn’t he a character in the movie series The Matrix? No, that was Morpheus.) As you’ll learn in my eBook in the chapter on Tessera Types, glass is an amorphous solid (the chapter explains what glass is to help the mosaic artist understand how to make better cuts and breaks, and to help reduce wasted glass). An amorphous solid, such as glass and plastic, has molecules arranged randomly in no particular pattern. On the contrary, a crystalline solid has molecules arranged in fixed patterns, sometimes called lattices. Most solids are crystalline, such as metal, ice, and diamonds.

Glass can break in a controlled manner (e.g., along its score line) because it doesn’t have a specific molecular structure. For example, a diamond breaks cleanly along its fixed molecular structure or cleavage (more commonly understood as “grain”). If you don’t properly align your breaking tool along the grain, the diamond can shatter. However, because glass doesn’t have a grain, you can break it in any direction without it shattering. The question is how do we get it to break the way we want?

Depending on the tools used, glass can either break from exceeding its tensile strength or cut from exceeding its compressive or shear strength. To control the fracture, we must define where to exceed the tensile, compressive, or shear strength to result in a controlled fracture. We do this by scoring the glass when we want to break it by applying a tensile stress or properly aligning the cutters when we want to cut it by applying a compressive or shear stress. For example, the glass’ tensile strength along a tiny score line is less than anywhere else on the glass, so it tends to break cleanly along that line (i.e., the break follows the path of least resistance).

When a separation occurs because of tensile stress, the separation is called a “break.” When a separation occurs because of shear stress or compressive stress, the separation is called a “cut.”

When using a scoring tool and running pliers on stained glass, you apply tensile stress to break the glass. When using wheeled cutters with the two wheels aligned (or other tool with the cutting edges aligned, such as nippers), you apply compressive stress to cut the glass. When using wheeled cutters with the two wheels misaligned (e.g., because you dropped the tool and bent the jaws out of alignment), you apply shear stress to cut the glass. (The most familiar example of a cutting tool with misaligned cutting edges is a pair of scissors where the two cutting edges are side by side instead of aligned.)

Remember, making mosaic art is easy. You can do it. Yes, you can!
