How To Make S’mores Donuts
05/21/11 -- How To's
“The only logical thing to do with the chocolate bar in my sugar filled mind is to throw it into a decadent and delicious dessert. So what’s better than stuffing a creamy milk chocolate bar inside of a piping hot homemade donut and making S’mores Donuts! These donuts are stuffed with mini marshmallows and milk chocolate toffee bar pieces and dipped into a chocolate glaze and topped with graham cracker crumbs. It’s heaven in donut form!” w/ photos

Top 10 Rebels Throughout History
05/21/11 -- Top Lists
“History is littered with rebels, and because there are so many examples, I’ve specifically chosen rebels with a low social standing. People with low social origins have more reason to become rebels than members of the upper class, but the rebels that originate from the upper class have a better chance at becoming leaders. That’s why certain famous people are missing from this list, including William I, Prince of Orange, Simon Bolivar, Rani Lakshmibai or José Gabriel Condorcanqui. Besides the issue of social standing, I have also chosen to focus on rebels with a military background. That’s why there are no political leaders from the French or Russian Revolutions on this list.” w/ photos

“We’ve all undertaken home improvements but these residents in flood-stricken Mississippi have had to embark on major construction projects just to protect their houses and livelihoods. These homes in Vicksburg are all situated along the Yazoo River, a tributary of the overflowing Mississippi River, and their owners have surrounded themselves with tons of earth and sand. With questions over whether the main levees that protect the area from floods would hold, these farmers took no chances and have so far saved their homes and crops from destruction. The flooding, which has been ongoing since the last week of April, is expected to reach its peak in Vicksburg tomorrow. However, temporary measures have not worked for everyone.” w/ photos

Top 7 Incredible Cigarette Art Pieces
05/20/11 -- Top Lists
“Would you believe that stinking, old cigarette butts can be recycled and transformed into objects of esthetic beauty? Could cigarettes be one of the most disposable commodities in the world? No sooner is a cigarette lit (millions a second, surely) then it is abandoned, half-alight and part intact, often onto the streets of cities. Though many would say that the best thing for our health, and that of the environment, to boot, would be to extinguish the billion-dollar tobacco industry all together, it smolders on. Here we show the work of a crop of artists who have repurposed or reused the enduring cigarette to more positive ends than pollution.” w/ photos
