Seemingly thousands and thousands of spools containing different colored threads cascade down the sides of a pyramid. The threads unspool and hug the structure, livening up the ancient wonder of the world. This makes the multi-colored pyramid stand out from its fellow pyramids, the sharp contrast most evident when the spot adopts the visual perspectives of people in the nearby village looking out at the pyramids from their windows and streets.
This striking sight is the latest ambitious demonstration of “live color creation” to further brand the Sony Bravia line of TV sets as providing the most colorful and well defined images.

Hackman's pacemaker last showed signs of activity a week later and that he had an abnormal heart rhythm Feb. 18, the day he likely died, Jarrell said. Although there was no reliable way to determine the date and time when both died, all signs point to their deaths coming a week apart, Jarrell said.
