Hey with the holidays coming up soon I bet quite a few of you are beginning to do your shopping. If you are you might want to visit Kickstime.com where you can take advantage of their back in business sale and get some great deals!
If you need to buy shoes for the kids or yourself take a look at their selection of Air Jordans, Bathing Apes and Air Dunks - both of which are on sale right now.
Of course they don’t just sell running shoes. They have a selection of Prada and Gucci shoes as well as Red Monkey Jeans, Evisu jeans, hoodies, shirts, handbags and hats.
The company is based in London, England but they ship world wide. I always appreciate an online store that offers international shipping. As well as shipping worldwide they ship for free!
Another thing that I like about this company is that there are several ways to contact them if need be. You can write to them using their postal address or by email or call their toll free number. Most online stores don’t offer a telephone number let alone a toll free one so I appreciate that Kickstime.com does this.
As I said if you are starting to shop for the holidays visit this online store. You might find an item that would make a perfect gift for one of your friends or relatives.
In villages across Northern England, as many as 20 miniature versions of the Easter Island head sculptures have been mysteriously left on doorsteps outside post offices.
Each of the carvings, some as tall as 18 inches, is slightly different, yet they all bear the same riddle on a blue note card: “Twinkle twinkle like a star, does love blaze less from afar?” The word “paradox” is written around the points of a star.
Authorities suspect that it is a publicity stunt of some kind, but so far no clues have been found as to the identity of the head carver.
Security camera footage caught a glimpse of a man getting out of a car, but his face was unrecognizable. He has been leaving the heads on doorsteps since August.
We often hear news stories about those who’ve been wrongly convicted being freed from jail, sometimes after being incarcerated for many years. The newly freed often sue the legals system for wrongful confinement.
Three men in Birmingham, England who were recently freed after respectively spending 18, 18 and 11 years in prison for murder, were, in separate trials, awarded a total of 2.16 million British pounds.
Unfortunately for these men the Court of Appeal ruled in March that the mean will each have to give back 25% of their award to the government as compensation for their “room and board”. You know, those tiny cells they stayed in and the awful prison food that they were served for years.
Isn’t that outrageous!
If your beloved pet just died you don’t have to go on living without him. Nope. You can make jewelery out of him instead.
That’s what Sue Rogers of London did with her dead pet dogs and cats. She had a diamond ring made from their ashes. Rogers from Devon England paid 3.200 pounds to have a ring made from carbon extracted from the ashes of Lucky, his old English Sheepdog, a tom cat named Patch and a golden retriever called Sam.
I’m starting to see a pattern here. Are you? It seems you have to mourn a few pets before you can make jewelery out of them.
“I am delighted with my ring as it means I can have my pets with me at all times,” Rogers told the Daily Mail newspaper.
“My animals meant the world to me and even though they are gone they are still with me. It’s a beautiful ring and such a brilliant idea.”
Rogers, who had previously kept her pets ashes on her mantelpiece heard of LifeGem UK, a company that makes diamonds from the remains of humans and pets. She contacted LifeGem and they used a small amount of carbon from each set of ashes.
The ashes are heated to 3,000 degrees Celsius in order to create a rough diamond. The stone was then cut, polished and certified before being set into a gold band.
I always new pets were real gems.

If you know of anyone who’s made jewelery out of their pets ashes I’d like to hear the story or see photos of the jewelery.
