Race against the tide: Artist creates intricate masterpieces... that the sea washes away within hours
By: Eddie Wrenn
When artists see a canvas, most of them want to fill it, even if it's with nothing more than a doodle.

I have friends that won't eat pork because of fear that has been espoused and spread by the media. As it turns out, the H1N1 flu virus is no more virulent or dangerous than the common flu virus. I remember that SARS and the avian flu were supposed to wipe us out. It looks like we're still here. And I still love eating bacon. Continue
