In a letter to his brother Theo in 1882, Van Gogh wrote: "There are but three fundamental colours – red, yellow, and blue; 'composites' are orange, green, and purple. By adding black and some white one gets the endless varieties of greys – red grey, yellow-grey, blue-grey, green-grey,orange-grey, violet-grey. It is impossible to say, for instance, how many green-greys there are; there is an endless variety. But the whole chemistry of colours is not more complicated than those few simple rules. And having a clear notion of this is worth more than 70 different colours of paint — because with those three principal colours and black and white, one can make more than 70 tones and varieties. The colourist is the person who knows at once how to analyze a colour, when it sees it in nature, and can say, for instance: that green-grey is yellow with black and blue, etc. In other words, someone who knows how to find the grays of nature on their palette".

WWE Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper recalled his ghostly encounter with a deceased WWE wrestler during the Biography Channel’s Saturday night airing of Celebrity Ghost Stories.
Roddy summarized his early days in theprofessional wrestling industry as a 22-year-old kid with no family. He met another 22-year-old kid, named Adrian Adonis, and they became best friends. He recalled angrily snapping at people, with led to Adrian calming him down and advising him to purchase a house. Adrian believed that a house purchase would give Piper the family life he desperately wanted. He did months later and found happiness.
Roddy, who faced Adrian before 93,173 spectators at WrestleMania III, lamented his death in acar accident. Adrian was killed on July 4, 1988 in Lewisporte, Newfoundland while riding in aminivan with fellow wrestlers William “Mike Kelly” Arko, Victor “Pat Kelly” Arko, and Dave “Wildman” McKigney. Adonis, McKigney, and Pat Kelly were killed when the driver, Mike Kelly, allegedly swerved in order to avoid hitting a moose and, blinded by the setting sun, inadvertedly drove into a lake. Mike Kelly survived, albeit with severe leg injuries.
Roddy said his daughter Ariel would later wake up in the middle of the night and scream because she saw a man in her bedroom. His son would see shadows and hear noises in an inexplicable manner.
One day when Roddy arrived home from a long road trip, his son Colt came running out of the residence screaming that there is a man inside. He storms inside, ready to confront the intruder when he notices that the logs from the fireplace had tumbled out and caught the carpet on fire. As he scrambled to extinguish the fire, he encountered the ghost of Adrian Adonis.
Adrian said “Hey Roddy” and then disappeared. Roddy stood still for a long time since he didn’t want to leave the room. He became emotional while recalling this moment.
Roddy believes Adrian is looking out for him and his family in the house that he was encouraged to purchase. He says Adrian is his brother and that he would have never believed in ghosts had it not been for that encounter.

Online dating isn't the taboo subject it once was. It's actually pretty common. And unfortunately so are con-men hiding behind those dating profiles.
"People make poor decisions when they're emotionally attached to something and online scammers are getting more and more creative with the way that they are getting a hold of your information and your money," said Kathy Graham, Executive Director of the BBB.
The business of love is booming, but the companies aren't the only ones looking to cash in. Scammers are lurking within some dating profiles, just waiting to pounce.
"They're going to play on that emotion to get your money," said Graham.
The BBB started investigating a man, who goes by "Alfred Worth" or "Bob Williams" last month after a woman tipped them off.
He has three Facebook profiles, two different names and a variety of photos.
On the dating site, Plenty of Fish, he goes by "AWORTH22" and claims he is an environmental engineer.
In chat messages with a fake profile, we called "Julianna", he's quick to develop a relationship and says he's currently working overseas and has very poor spelling and grammar.
Less than a month after the correspondence begins, "Alfred" asks "Julianna" to fill out a document making her his next of kin.
He told her it was because he cared for her and was planning long term.
The documents ask for personal information like and address and a date of birth.
"In my opinion, it absolutely is a scam," said Graham.
"Alfred" then waves the biggest red flag of them all and starts chatting about his money problems.
A few minutes later we set up a phone call.
When he answers, Graham asks how much money he needs. "Alfred" starts out with asking for $30,000, but quickly drops it $20,000. He then began giving specific instructions on how to wire the money. "You really think you have a bond," said Graham about the scam. "You think you are communicating with someone that you could have a future with and all awhile, all they want to do is get in your bank account." - keep reading

For a full quarter century, the extraordinary art within Houston's Menil collection has been protected from harm - until now.
The museum is confirming an act of vandalism against a painting produced in 1929 by the Spanish master Pablo Picasso.
In a video posted on YouTube, a man can be seen approaching the portrait known as "Woman in Red Arm Chair" and blasting the canvas with spray paint. The stenciled message "Conquista" and the image of a bull defacing the original.
The vandal escaped as did the photographer who may or may not be a conspirator.
According to Menil spokesman Vance Muse, the Picasso was rushed to the collection's chief conservator Brad Etley who performed immediate damage repair.
Speaking from Berlin, Germany Vance told FOX 26, "The most important thing is to get the painting to full health, which is happening. All the spray paint has been removed. It is in the right hospital. The painting now needs to rest."
Meantime, Houston Police confirm the case is under very active investigation as "criminal mischief," a crime carries a maximum penalty of two years in jail. No arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
In addition to the YouTube video, detectives also have the Menil's own surveillance tape to help capture those responsible.
A representative for the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston says "appropriate" security measures have been taken at that institution.
"Woman in Red Arm Chair" has been a part of the Menil collection since 1956.
