Yea! It's great to be eight. Besides the cool gifts for an 8-year-old's birthday, there is the cake, the ice cream, and all the friends. There is the party, of course, and the games. And, there is sure to be good food. Perhaps, even a movie and a magic show.
After the party, there may even be time to play hide and seek, tell stories, or camp out in the back yard in a tent. For now, though, let us look at some magical gifts.
1) Movies - Here's a gift that is sure to be a hit. A DVD of the "Jungle Book" (Platinum Edition) by Disney. This is the classic story of Mowgli, a boy raised by animals in the jungle. Another cool DVD movie is "Meerkat Manor" (Genius Edition). This is about the daily life of meerkats, which are ferret-like mammals in Africa. They are known for their curiosity.
2) Walkie-Talkies - These are 2-way radios that you can use to keep in touch with your friends. The better ones run on three AA batteries. With these radios, you can scan the spectrum to find active channels. What a great way to stay in touch.
3) Beginner's Bike - This is a kid-size, single-speed, off-road bicycle. Brakes are operated from both the handlebar and pedals. Some of the best-known bikes of this type are dirt bikes.
4) Dome Tent - Set up this colorful tent in the house or in the backyard. It is waterproof, and has netting to keep the bugs out. There is a window that lets you look out and allows the light in. Made of rugged material, there is plenty of room for you and a friend.
5) Name Scroll - Your name scroll is a name painting. Your first name is featured against a painted background of a kitten, a lion, a rooster, a warrior on horseback, or some other scene. The scroll tells the name and its meaning, its history, and famous celebrities with the same name. A golden crown, seals, and colorful borders adorn the scroll which is ready for framing. This is a gift that is forever.
6) Solar Beads Jewelry - These incredible beads change into a rainbow of colors when you stand in sunlight. When you go indoors, they turn white. You can wear a necklace, a bracelet, elastic rings, and a hair band, all made from these dazzling solar beads.
7) Pen with Invisible Ink - Mysterious messages...secret instructions... You can start a business as a spy with this pen that writes with invisible ink. The message shows up only under ultraviolet light - which comes attached to back of the pen and runs on batteries. You will need at least 2 pens so you can read messages you receive.
Looking for gifts for an 8-year-old's birthday is almost as much fun as receiving them. Eight-year-olds look forward to their gifts and appreciate everything they receive. There is no end of good times when everyone joins in to play with an 8-year-old's birthday gifts.

Furong Cave and Xueyu Cave
Near Jiangkou Town in Wulong County in Chongqing, halfway up the mountain on the left bank of the Furong(Lotus)River, a branch of the Wujiang River there is a place called “Panjia Yan." This is the location of a "Vapor Cave", that gives off steam in winter and cool air in summer. All year round it is wreathed in mist, accompanied by a thundering sound. For centuries, creepy stories about this “Vapor Cave” have abounded and locals did not dare enter?In May l993, several villagers braved to explore it with torches?0ne year after their first exploration, on May l, l 994. This “Vapor Cave” was renamed the “Furong Cave” and was officially opened to tourists.
Entering Furong Cave for the first time, the first thing I saw was layer upon layer of silvery white stone curtains like clusters of clouds; below the stone curtains were tiers of stone "fields" and pillars like tall trees towering into the sky. What a beautiful scene...like a scroll painting. By a crystalline clear pool, calcites glittered under colorful lights; drooping down over the pond were two jade-like stalactites. This pool, one of the biggest and most beautiful speleothem pools is called "Jasper Lake of Corals."
The opening of the Furong Cave was big news in Chongqing that year and immediately drew the attention of speleologists. Before it was opened, no one had found its natural entrance. Later, an international cave exploration team carried out five large-scale scientific investigations over l08 days. They discovered a huge secret: that there were 108 perpendicular shafts within a l0-kilometer radius of the Furong Cave and that the Vapor Pit Cave, at 920 meters deep, was the deepest in China. And all of them were connected to the Furong Cave! They also found that the Furong Cave had more than l 00 kinds of speleothems, a veritable cave science museum.
One day in l997, during the Chinese New Year holiday, a retired official, Wang Chengyun, round a cave entrance near the Longhe Valley. 12 kilometers from Fengdu county seat. He immediately went home and invited some compamons to explore it further. After two or more weeks' investigation, they discovered lots of white stalactites in the cave. They reported it to the local government and Professor Zhu Xuewen came to investigate it. Later, he gave a Very high assessment of the cave's value in terms of tourism and of scientific research and named it Xueyu(Snow Jade)Cave. In the autumn of 2001, my friends in Fengdu invited me to visit the cave and Professor Zhu Xuewen volunteered his services as guide.
Torch in hand. I followed him into the Xueyu Cave. Everywhere I shone the torch was a staggeringly beautiful calcium deposit a shimmering stone "flag," translucent and fine as a cicada's wings, snow-white stalagmites, a white and immaculate stone "shield"shaped like a penguin...To me, caked in mud, their delicacy and purity was a reminder of teenage natural beauty.
In March 2005, when Professor Elery Hamilton-Smith, Chairman of the Special Cave Working Group of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN)visited the Xueyu Cave, he commented that of all ten thousand caves he had investigated, the Xueyu Cave was the most beautiful.

what colors should be used to paint a banner?
I have a painting that I'm working on and there is a banner that will run through it. I want to make it look old. I tried actual coffee but it is not holding the color, but that is the look that i want. Any suggestions on what color paints to use to get that old scroll look. I'm using acrylics on this one.
Use bright colours! If you're putting it by a road, don't use fluorescent colours as it can distract motorists. Use bright colours, like yellow.
Women cross divide
The first piece you see when you enter the Holmes a Court Gallery is an ornamental string work, something like an oversized charm bracelet. The piece recedes into the background in the face of the power of much of the other work in this show but this one is significant.
Thanks for visiting!
