  • Hail the T: The History of T-Shirts
    When you look in your closet do you have, hiding in there, a tee shirt. In most cases a heck of a lot more than one I would say. T-shirts are usually short sleeved, sometimes long sleeved made of thin cotton or cotton blend, no buttons, or collar and is slipped over the head. Because they are usually worn oversized, the sleeves on these T-shirts will cut off at the elbow, a litter higher, if not oversized. They are considered casual wear and are a great favorite to wear for relaxation around the home and knocking around in.
  • Art Collections and Wall Art
    For curators art collection is not just a hobby but goes beyond that as a serious career choice. It is a professional art field in fact. Curators are often time in charge of museums, archive, galleries, and libraries. They often times have various responsibilities that include watching over the art collections in their prospective institutions, the catalogs pertaining to the collections (assisted by a specialist in publications). Curators deal in tangible items, and also with fine art collections that can be displayed either to private individuals or the public at large. They collect various kinds or works of art, from the historical and traditional pieces to the modern works of artists that are not as well known. Curators do not always cover many topics sometimes they specialize is just one area. Many times the museums they work in and just focused in one area too. What work the curator does may depend on this.
  • A Bit of the Old West: Pasadena
    Once upon a time, back home in Indiana, each winter just kept getting colder and colder. Well, Dr. Thomas Balch Elliott brought together a group of 100 Hoosier families that were sick and tired of it all and headed west to California in 1873. The current inhabitants of the Valley were from Europe and considered by the California Indiana Colony to be quite industrious growing vineyards and orange groves. The colony purchased 4,000 acres of the San Pascual Ranch that would later become Old Pasadena with the deal concluding at Christmas time of that year.
  • The Western Rose: Pasadena
    Pasadena is a well known southern California city, being home of the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day, the JPL, the Norton Simon Museum of Art and other attractions. All of this in just one town near Los Angeles. Even if you've never been to Pasadena, you certainly know a bit about the city.
  • The Incredible Incredibles
    Walt Disney released THE INCREDIBLES in 2004 to worldwide acclaim. At heart it is a story about a superhero family forced into denial. Once the greatest superheros ever, they have to live a quiet, stifling suburban life. This clever story was penned and directed by Brad Bird, fresh from his stint at THE SIMPSONS.
  • Monsters Incorporated
    Jumping out of closets everywhere, MONSTERS INC. hit theaters in 2001 to rave reviews and tremendous audience approval.

  • The Love Bug: Herbie Lives
    An irascible car, Herbie was unleashed on American audiences in 1969's "The Love Bug." Enjoying a mind of his own, Herbie can drive himself. Most of the time, Herbie is shown as a grayish-white Beetle with red, white and blue stripes running from the front bumper to the back, and has a large number "53" on his engine lid, hood and doors. The exception to this is when he first shows up in The Love Bug. Then, Herbie is a non-descript grayish-white Beetle with a gray sunroof. The sunroof suggests that Herbie is a 1963 model. In the movie, Herbie is named after the uncle of a mechanic.
  • Your Disney Movies List and More
    Buried in our collective conscience is at least one Disney movie we recall from our childhood. While Disney was a pioneer in the industry, their commercial success with new movies lagged a little bit in the 1980's. In the late 1980's and the 1990's Disney shook up their company and revived its animation success. This period was known as the Disney Renaissance. Disney released several movies during this time period that were critically acclaimed and commercially successful. All but one of these movies was nominated for an Academy Award and certainly the most successful of them was The Lion King.
  • Piglet's Own Movie
    Piglet has always felt a little scared, a tad inadequate, because of his size. In A.A. Milne's original "Winnie The Pooh," the poor little one is quoted as saying, "WHAT?", with a jump, to show that he hadn't been frightened, he jumped up and down once or twice more in an exercising sort of way. In Chapter Seven, "It is hard to be brave," said Piglet, sniffling slightly, "when you're only a very small animal." In Chapter Nine, Piglet says, "It's a little anxious," he said to himself, "to be a very small animal entirely surrounded by water." Piglet's catchphrase was, "Oh, dear! Oh, d-d-d-dear-dear!
  • Unseen Pete: The Loveable Dragon
    A revolutionary breakthrough in live-action and animation, "Pete's Dragon," was released by Walt Disney Production in 1977. The story of a young orphan boy named Pete and his dragon, Elliott, the movie was the first Disney feature film to be released on home video in 1980. Animators chose to make Elliott an oriental dragon as such dragons are associated with good fortune. Indeed, Elliott is a do-gooder out to protect his orphaned ward.
  • Casters & Swivels: Office Chairs
    You might want to sit for this. The evolution of the office chair, from its bare, four-legs-and-a-back origins, had its origins in the rise of the Second Industrial Revolution. The incorporation of steam-driven machines prompted business owners to consider a phrase that has become ubiquitous to our modern ears: productivity. As the objective of business is the generation of capital, and the generation of said capital is dependent upon labor, the question was "How best can we drain the last drops of toil from our employees?" The answer: build a better chair. The logic centered on the notion that employees who sat at their stations longer, could be more productive, therefore earning the company more capital.
  • Laying Down History: Mattresses
    Whenever you cozy down to sleep at night, there is a good chance you don't think about the mattress you sleep on. Unless, of course, it's terribly uncomfortable - or you have bed bugs. The mattress, that simplest of inventions, has been with us for thousands of years and while the concept is simple enough, like with any Thanksgiving turkey: it's all in the stuffing.
  • Modern Lighting: Light Is Life
    Light is the medium through which sight is made possible. Eighty percent of all the information we receive is gathered through our eyes. When we have insufficient light to see, we cannot get our bearings. Our sense of security is restored at night only when we have the privilege of having artificial light. Over the centuries, light is phenomenon that has been studied by means of physics. Light is visible electromagnetic radiation that is transmitted by a source of light and travels in waves. It takes time to move from the light source to the eye. In a vacuum, it has been discovered that light can travel at a velocity of 300,000km/s. Each wavelength has a particular color.
  • GPS Tracking From Space
    The National Aeronautics and Space Administration was established on July 29, 1958. Popularly known as NASA, the organization is charged with the development and implementation of the country's space program and civilian and military aerospace research. With a motto declaring "For the Benefit of All," NASA launched its public space program after the Soviet Union famously launched the world's first man-made satellite, Sputnik, on October 4, 1957. This began the race to space, which pitted the two super powers against one another.

  • Porcelain Powered Dinnerware
    Tableware made of porcelain had its beginnings approximately 1000 years old. Pioneered in China, the use of porcelain is often credited to the Song Dynasty. This is controversial, as historians point to the early uses of porcelain 100 years before during the Tang Dynasty. Regardless, the Song Dynasty was the first dynasty to ever decree royal porcelain factories, which were charged with creating fine porcelain wares.
  • A Plethora of Vertical Blinds
    Window blinds are very popular with homeowners tired of the hassle of fabric drapes and curtains. This is due to the versatility of window blinds. Window blinds are cost-effective and easy to maintain compared to curtains. Many window blinds are available on the market today.

These window blinds are made of various materials such as fabric, wood, plastic or other types of fabricated materials.
  • Roman Shades, American Windows
    A sophisticated window is invariably one that has been appointed with Roman shades. These shades are one of the types that can be put into the window sill for one look or attached to the wall for a totally different look. The widely available colors that you can find for Roman shades one of the reasons for purchasing this type of window treatment. They can actually have a design that is not visible until the shade is lowered.
  • COM Express Motherboards
    A motherboard is the central printed circuit board that makes up a intricate electronic system, specifically a personal computer or a laptop. It can also be referred to as a mainboard, a system board, a baseboard, a planar board, even a mobo, depending on whom you are speaking to. With Apple computer systems, for instance, the motherboard is often labeled a logic board.
  • Disney Movies Through the Years
    One of the most successful companies over the last century has been Disney. Since the early 1900s they have been enchanting audiences and reminding everyone that it's alright to dream.

  • Easy and Safe: Military Pouches
    If you're in the military no doubt you have to carry a lot of tools wherever you go. The right pouch can literally make the difference between a good day and a bad day. In fact, it may even mean the difference between life and death. If you need quick access to your gear, you need to know where it is and you need to get at it quickly. Military pouches are matchless, well-crafted pieces. They are lightweight, lasting, and reasonably priced.
  • The Neverending Disney Movies List
    What could you buy for $10 a month in 1923? That was the amount paid for the rental of the little office in Los Angeles where Walt Disney and his brother, Roy started what is known today as the Walt Disney Company. This company began with animated films which were called ALICE COMEDIES. After only four months, a move was made to a larger space where the name of the company became Disney Brothers Studio.
  • Life and the Lodge at Tiburon
    When deciding on a vacation look no further than the Lodge at Tiburon. This lovely coastal city is rich in natural abundance and history. Though Miwok Indians had called the area home for thousands of years, it was not until 1775 that the city got its name. Tiburon, which means "shark" in Spanish, was named by Lt. Juan Manuel de Ayala when he anchored in the peninsula. In spite of its menacing name, the area is one of the most gorgeous places in the world.
  • Courses In Photography
    Now that even disposable cell phones come with digital cameras, it is hard to picture how far photography has come from its earliest beginnings. Starting with the pinhole camera and the camera obscura, which were created in the 1600s, to the definite recording of positive image on metal plates in the 1850s, photography had always been a cumbersome prospect. The photographs of the Civil War entailed two horse drawn wagons and a special lightproof buggy to resolve; imagine if a digital camera took two SUVs and a small compact car to carry.
  • Digital Security: A New Reality
    In today's business world, practically everyone is concerned about protecting their data. With hackers and thieves on the prowl, identity theft is running rampant. The need to contract qualified digital cryptographers has become vital. In this ever-changing world, compromised data could ruin any business and cause a tremendous amount of personal damage to unsuspecting consumers.
  • The Belamar: Fun In the Sun
    Everyone needs some time to relax and have an invigorating holiday. I planned a visit to one of the beach hotels in Manhattan, California. Eager, I zeroed in on the Belamar Hotel after hearing some positive word-of-mouth. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. Far from it!
  • Ponch and Jon: Motorcycle Law
    When examining the various branches of law enforcement, it is evident police motorcycles are an integral part of maintaining and enforcing traffic safety. Motorcycle patrols can be more common in some areas of the nation than in others. This incongruity has a great deal to do with weather and road conditions in any given city or county. Where it's cold, you have less motorcycle patrols. Typically, motorcycle patrols frequent highways or busy thoroughfares as their deftness and speed are well-suited to navigating the gridlock.
  • Road Rash: Motorcycle Accident
    Though car drivers may balk, there are some real benefits to motorcycling. First off, the driver remains connected to his environs. The continuous need to stay poised requires a motorcyclist be alert at all times. His or her margin for error is very narrow and there is a life-and-death need to be present. This is often explained as a kind of meditative state at 60 miles an hour.
  • The Niepce Factor
    For the past two hundred years, photography has been one of the most popular art forms in the world. While it was once the sphere of tinkers and amateur chemists, photography has redefined not only how we see the world, but how we see ourselves in the world. Every day we are flooded with thousands of photographic images. With each picture we are asked to directly and indirectly contemplate our relationships with each other, the environment, and our world.
  • Cyber-Kids: Educational Software
    Computer software, as we know it today, was first used in the early 1940s. Built in 1943, the Type 19 Synthetic Radar Trainer was a flight simulator built to replicate on-board instrument data for pilots in training. This simple program would lay the framework for educational curriculums across the United States. The Type 19 was not only the beginning of applicable computer software, it was the precursor to the educational uses of computer programs and software worldwide.
  • Wedding Invitations Through History
    The first invitations that were sent to invite people to a wedding were supposedly written by European monks during the Middle Ages. The monks were accomplished calligraphers and were commissioned by noble families alike to write their invitations. To their detriment, the 1600s brought about the arrival of metal plate engraving. Soon, engraved invitations became the most popular method of announcing upcoming weddings and celebrations.
  • The Convenience of Online Storage
    Using a file server for data storage is not a novel idea, but it is an idea whose time has come. Storing data on external computers has been a standard business practice for years; in the 1980's many companies looked for ways to fuse a growing number of workstations and data into a centralized database. The essential technology was developed initially by the Novell company, which stepped in with their Netware operating system. This system was geared specifically for network file servers in corporate environments.
  • Piglet's Big Movie
    Piglet is a character belonging to the "Winnie the Pooh" series of books by A. A. Milne. Piglet is a pig and the best friend of the main character, Winnie the Pooh. Despite the fact that he is wee in stature, and displays a relatively nervous disposition, he often finds himself conquering his biggest fears. His biggest achievement is often being brave, even in the face of his greatest fears. Piglet is based on one of the stuffed animals that Christopher Robin Milne had as a child. He has been voiced with a squeaky little voice that is pale pink with a green jumper in the Winnie the Pooh book illustrations, and is second shortest next to Roo who is only slightly smaller.
  • Pete's Dragon Roars On
    Before the day's of Disney's Pixar and digital animation, there were a special group of people whose innovation brought to the big screen some amazing work that blended live-action and animation. Originally planned as a live-action production, "Pete's Dragon" never got off the ground, ending up in the Disney vault for about two decades. Almost ten years after the death of Walt Disney, the fantasy of "Pete's Dragon" was revived. In the original version, Pete's invisible dragon, Elliott, was only going to be seen once in the movie. But under the guidance of Don Bluth and Ken Anderson, Elliott not only came to life, but has become one of the most beloved Disney heroes in history.
  • Birthday E-Cards: Quick and Cheap
    Who loves getting greeting cards? Everyone. Who loves sending them? Not many of us. This is where the ease of email comes into play. Well-wishers never need to buy stamps, paper, pens, or greeting cards - they end up saving gas, time, and money!
  • Video E-cards: The Future Is Now
    How many of us love sending email greetings? How about receiving them? Emails used to be the easiest way of sending greetings, especially when compared to the traditional pen-and-paper snail mail. Snail mail, on the other hand, can easily be misplaced or even stolen. To send an email, you do not need stamps, paper, pen, or a pricey greeting card. You certainly do not have to send your greeting cards at least three weeks before Christmas for fear that your cards might not get there in time!
  • Chopper Land
    A chopper is a type of motorcycle that became popular after World War II. Motorcycles are assembled with an array of parts, including the rather conservative fender. After World War II, veterans came home and decided to strip down their bikes to make them easier to ride. Aping their military motorcycles, the vets were quick to make their civilian bikes capable of racing in rough terrain. A typical civilian bike was laden with unneeded parts and accessories.
  • An Ergonomic Office Chair Lets You Sit in Comfort All Day
    You can tell many things about a person by looking at his or her office. Is it neat and sterile? Piled high with work that needs attention? Covered with loose papers and supplies? Are there lots of personal items like pictures, interesting objects, and pencil holders made by small children at preschool? And what about the furniture? Is it common stuff from a big box store or has care been taken in its selection? Is the desk chair old, sleek, or well-upholstered? Does it look like it was made to last?
  • Trailblazing the Streets of Los Angeles
    Gas prices being what they are, many people are choosing motorcycles, scooters, mopeds, and other two-wheeled bikes for transportation. The number of new motorcycle sales in this country is going up yearly, and so is the number of accidents. If you live in California, you should be informed that the traffic accident statistics among motorcyclists are astronomical in that state, and Los Angeles has by far the worst record.
  • Down In the Lab: Frankenstein
    When you think of the Frankenstein movies, names like Boris Karloff, Colin Clive, Mary Shelley and James Whale come to mind. But have you ever heard of Kenneth Strickfaden? Long ignored in the annals of horror movie fame, Strickfaden is the man whose electrical designs made Frankenstein the movie that it is. He was called "Dr. Frankenstein's electrician" and was directly responsible for all of the electrical effects used in the monster creation scene. He also created all the electrical effects for the slew of other Frankenstein sequels. He was even a stunt double for Boris Karloff, who was deathly afraid of electricity.
  • Mad Scientists and Solvents
    When you think of a mad scientist, you're bound to summon images of a be-speckled, manically laughing, slightly hunched over crackpot in a laboratory surrounded by beakers full of bubbling, fizzing solvents and crackling electrical machines. The mad scientist is eternally obsessed with ranting monologues about being misunderstood by the world. He's not mad, he's misunderstood and now the world has to pay for not supporting his megalomaniacal wish to play God.
  • Motorcycle Law for Easy Riders
    If you are a motorcycle lover, Easy Rider, made in 1969, is a must see. Indeed, it's essentially required viewing. It's not so much an action movie as a piece of history. The plot starts with Wyatt (played by Peter Fonda) and Billy (played by Dennis Hopper) riding their way to Mardi Gras. During this drive they encounter hitchhikers, a drunken lawyer (played famously by Jack Nicholson), some jail time, and ultimately the great unknown.
  • Mobile Security: M-Commerce
    A security issue that is not as publicized as much as traveler's security or online banking is mobile security. Until recently, this has not been as high-priority an issue as other security measures that have dramatically captured the attention of the public. However, it has become more of an issue in recent years. With the reality of so many people using cell phones for their business as well as personal communication, a secure mobile line is essential.
  • A Brief Survey of Wedding Customs
    For as long as the custom of marriage has been a celebrated human custom, there have been curious rituals associated with them. These rituals, at least concerning modern weddings, include such behavior as the groom providing an engagement ring, the bride carrying a handkerchief, wearing a veil, and wearing "something blue." Even the very custom of the bride wearing white seems outdated to most modern couples. Where did all these traditions come from?
  • Dinnerware: The Rules
    I hate patronizing high-end restaurants. In case you are wondering, by "high-end" I mean any restaurant where I am required to use more than one fork and one spoon. Nevermind the knife. My husband, on the other hand, loves fancy dinnerware and the elaborate details it entails. He often tells me that I deserve to be treated like a princess, but how am I supposed to enjoy a formal meal when I have no idea which fork and knife to use for my well-done steak?
  • Lithonia Lighting Suggestions
    As a lighting manufacturer, Lithonia started in 1946 and is currently the world's largest fluorescent lighting manufacturer. Lithonia's products are known for solid performance, reliability, and quality. Moreover, Lithonia is also known for its informative customer service and well-coordinated delivery system.
  • Salviati Glass: Bold Fixtures
    Though not often mentioned, the history of glass is elementally interwoven into human history. Any written piece about the history of glass, no matter how brief, must begin on the island of Murano, in particular, the participation of the Salviati family. Anyone who has experienced their stunning glass products can vouch for their luminescence and craftsmanship.
  • The Breast Augmentation Chicago Surgeons Offer Is Unparalleled
    For one reason or another, cultures throughout history have fixated on the female breast. Whether it was early man casting voluptuous fertility goddesses or French impressionist painters scandalously depicting half- clad women, breasts get a lot of attention-especially nice, full ones. Many cultures zero in one the sexual aspects of the female breast, and usually bigger is viewed as better. Witness the celebrity of Pamela Lee Anderson and the late Anna Nicole Smith! Most women, however, prefer something a tad more natural looking.
  • Letterpress Invitations: Still Popular
    Thanks to the ABC-TV hit series, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," letterpress printing is back in style. The Dore family received a new home, constructed completely from scratch, while letterpress printers generously donated a complete letterpress studio to 12-year old Aariel Dore, along with lessons and online assistance to get her up and running.
  • Chromatography: Forensics
    The forensic uses of chromatography are varied and commonplace. With the popularity of forensic-based shows like CSI (can you believe CSI: Vegas is losing Grissom), many layman have at least a surface understanding of forensics. Chromatography, defined as "a physical separation method in which the components of a combination are separated by differences in their distribution between two phases, one of which is stationary (stationary phase) while the other (mobile phase) moves through it in a definite direction", is a mainstay of forensic procedures and tests.
  • Massage Tables are Great to Have at Home
    Massage is a very ancient practice. It is depicted in murals and mentioned in the texts of many early civilizations. Rome, Greece, India, China, Japan, and Egypt all knew the value of massage for the relief of tension and aches and pains. Today, it enjoys wide recognition, and there are schools that teach the practice.
  • Earrings: Fashion First
    For centuries, many cultures have practiced ear piercing. In certain cultures, ear piercing celebrates a coming-of-age. In tribal cultures, the ears were pierced with precious metals to ward off demons, as the belief was foul spirits could enter the human body through the ears. Apart from the earlobe itself, piercings can be placed on virtually any part of the ear, including the helix or cartilage, the rook, the snug, the conch, or even the anti-tragus, which is the inner ear cartilage.
  • Photography Articles Provide Excellent Tips
    Being a gifted photographer involves so much more than being able to just point a camera at something and push a button. If you want to take exceptional pictures, you have to be willing to put your camera on manual and remember a few tips. Many different situations call for particular knowledge of what lenses to use, what light settings to try, and sometimes even how to care for a camera in extreme climates or sandy beaches.
  • Embedded SBC Computers
    Single-board computers were once considered "dyna-micro" based on the Intel C8080A processor and Intel's first EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) chip. This revolutionary chip was designed to retain its data when the power was switched off. Rebranded by E&L Instruments in 1976, the EPROM became known as the BugBook 8080 micro-computer.
  • The Tales of Fine Jewelry
    When you think about fine jewelry and everything that goes with it, you might find that your thoughts go back in time! Despite more fanciful techniques that craftsmen in the past could only dream of, there is a certain charm that ancient jewelry could achieve that we find difficult to duplicate even today. The time and patience that went into crafting a piece of fine jewelry in the past could create something that ever hundreds of years later, is still held in awe by the people looking at it.

  • Silver Nitrate: Building the Photographic Revolution
    While it is accepted that the first photograph was probably taken earlier, the official invention of photography was made in 1839 by French artist and chemist Louis J.M. Daguerre. In partnership with Joseph Nicphore Nipce, they expanded upon a discovery made by Johann Heinrich Schultz in 1724 regarding how a certain silver nitrate and chalk mixture darkened when exposed to light. The daguerreotype, or earliest type of photograph, was born.
  • Product Development: New and Improved
    Have you ever seen the new and improved packaging on your favorite products? Of course the company knows it's new, but how do they know it's "improved?" This is a product undergoing a repositioning phase. Basically, it has been changed to meet the needs of consumers based on updated research and competitive analysis. This is a very common form of product development, and for better or worse, all products must bow to the marketplace.
  • Tillman Gloves: Ultimate Hand Protection
    A reputation for safety is a source of pride for the John Tillman Company. For welders, Tillman gloves have meant more than 35 years of hand protection.

  • Tattoo Removal Leaves Beautiful Results
    Getting a tattoo always seems like an cool idea at the time. Maybe you were on the town with some friends and dared each other to get a tattoo. Or maybe someone in your background inspired you to make a canvas out of more of your skin than you are unhappy with now. Perhaps proving your emotions to your last girlfriend by tattooing her name on your arm was not the cleverest move you ever made. No matter the reason, there are multitudes of people out there who now want to get rid of their body art.
  • Baby Shower Invitations: Here Comes the Stork
    The key purpose for hosting a baby shower is to regale the mother-to-be with gifts for the newborn or expected baby. These gifts include baby diapers, clothes, toys, and so forth. Baby showers were historically uncommon, and if they were held, only the expecting mother and her female relatives and friends would attend. However, baby showers have become common nowadays, and men are starting to accept baby shower invitations as well.
  • GPS: A Space Odyssey
    When people mention Arthur C. Clarke, there is a good chance the first image his name conjures is the red eye-camera of the HAL 9000 as it methodically murders the astronauts aboard the Discovery. While 2001: A Space Odyssey certainly made an impression on an entire generation of science fiction and film fans, its author had a deeper impact on everyday life than most fans realize. Arthur C.

  • Bridal Registry to Money Dance
    When we think about weddings, it can be interesting to think about them in terms of cultures or customs other than our own.

One case in point of a wedding tradition is the money dance. Rooted in ancient traditions, is it still a popular feature of many modern weddings.
  • Educational Software For Children Rocks
    Recently, a select number of games have generated a great deal of good press with regards to helping children learn fundamental skills. Though conventional wisdom has called for limiting the time children spend interfacing with television or computer screens, and indeed there are some issues revolving around eye strain that should be heeded, it could behoove a child to engage in some amount of interactive, computer-based learning. The tools parents and teacher have at their disposal have multiplied exponentially.
  • Fall Protection: Only Titan
    Safety is always a chief concern in construction. Fall protection is used whenever a person has to work 5 or more feet off of the ground, as stated by OSHA Standards. A fall protection device is essentially a harness, which is strapped around an employee's body and secured by a lanyard to a secure place on a permanent structure. It takes some effort to put on the harness. Initially, an employee must grab the harness by the metal ring worked into the back, where one end of the lanyard is connected, and hold it at waist height. Tangled ends must be straightened before the harness is stepped into and the shoulder straps secured. The chest strap must then be secured, followed by the individual leg straps. When done, the loose end of the lanyard can be connected to either one of the lower hip rings on your sides.

The course of history gives us a fascinating cross-section of how past generations sought that sweet sleep.
  • Memory Foam Mattress: Sleep With the Stars
    The back is the most stress-prone part of the human body. As evolution is seldom an exercise in perfection, the same back that allows us to walk upright, is poorly designed to rebuff the encroachments of anxiety and stress. Aside from deep-tissue massages, the next-best tool to decrease muscular and joint pain in the back is a memory foam mattress. Also known as a contour mattress, this revolutionary material was designed to support the entire body.
  • Roman Shades: For Every Room
    The mere term conjures images of a lithe Audrey Hepburn riding behind Gregory Peck as he smirks his way through Roman traffic. What are roman shades? Simply put, they are window coverings with evenly stacked panels that fold in upon themselves as the shades are raised. When they are lowered, they smoothly and quietly block the rays of the sun, effectively bringing relief to any warm room. Roman shades can be fashioned with a hobbled look, prominently displaying the single panels when the shades are dropped. The shades can be lowered and raised via a very simple cord system.

  • Office Chairs: The Office Strikes Back
    The character of David Brent has managed to become a cultural icon. Played distinctly by Ricky Gervais, Brent is the general manager of the Slough Branch of Wernham-Hogg paper merchants.

  • Botox Chicago: Better Results
    As people gain in years, they begin to wear their years more and more visibly. The action of facial muscles serves to cut grooves into our faces. Just as the thousands of prairie schooners of old wore the deep gashes of the Oregon Trail that can still be seen today, decades of squinting, frowning, smiling, and scowling leave their marks. Mercifully, these wrinkles do not have to be permanent!
  • GPS Tracking Systems Across the World
    In the United States today, the GPS tracking system has become a staple for U.S. drivers, especially those employed in positions requiring an excessive amount of driving. Though GPS was made public by President Reagan after the destruction of Korean Airlines Flight 007, it has taken over twenty years to penetrate the culture of everyday life. Now, it seems impossible to think of this modern life without the ever-present GPS-enabled device, whether it be a phone, a driver aid, or even mapping services.
  • Online File Storage: Boldly Forward
    In the business world, the need for reliable, accessible backup of corporate data is a constant one. In the past -- and even today -- many companies opt for magnetic tape backup systems to protect their data. Others employ a RAID-based system, which stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks, which is an umbrella term for backing up your data across multiple hard disks. Tape backups, while popular, come with a set of problems including tape wear-and-tear, limited intermediate backups, and a lack of data integrity. The RAID method offers a more attractive solution; however, most businesses like to keep a copy of their vital data offsite.

  • Online Photography Classes: Digital Photography
    Photography can be dated back to 965 AD, when Ibn al-Haytham, the "father of modern optics," crafed the camera obscura. With nitrate-based chemical photography well-entrenched throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, it was not until NASA developed digital technology that a new revolution in image capturing was born. Utilizing computer tomography and radio telescopes, shrunk to the size of microprocessors, the digital camera is firmly entrenched in modern and future photography.
  • Chairs: The Stool to the Recliner

  • Xbox Cheats: Finding Secrets
    Recently, we were playing an old Star Wars game for the original Xbox and drifting slowly into abject tediousness.

This glaring violation of our obsessive compulsive tendencies could have been resolved with a few choice Xbox cheats.

  • Niko's Revenge: GTA 4 Cheats
    The modern street version of Final Fantasy has been a fan favorite for years. While comparing the two games too closely is a fruitless endeavor, there are some similarity in the sheer amount of weapons, ammunition, life availability, shields, and storyline options. It's often the variety that draws players back to Liberty City, back to the world of Grand Theft Auto. But with variety comes bewilderment. It can be downright irritating to keep getting tagged or cuffed on any particular mission for too long.
