Gimme A Head With Hair
My old pal, Steve, called today, sounding all down in the dumps. "My hair's falling out," Steve said sadly. "So I called my doctor to see if he could give me something to keep it in.""What did he recommend?" I asked. To which Steve replied, "He said to just use a box."Poor Steve, like so many other follicly-challenged men his age, he sees the final parting of his hair as a sign that his life is all but over. "It's all downhill from here, man," Steve moaned. "You know how it works. First, you lose your hair, then your teeth, then your bladder control! I might as well go out right now and buy a box of Depends because I'll need them by the weekend!""Come on, Steve," I said. "You're being ridiculous...

If this is the case then it may be time to replace the belt. Here are some things to check before replacing your belt. *1. You need to make sure the deck of the treadmill is in good shape.

Coffee stains are by far the most common stains found on the seats and floors of cars today. Most new cars have carpet stain resistant carpets installed from manufacturers. Most cars now have some sort of Scotch-Guard Type protectant, however Scotch Guard stopped manufacturing its product for a year and a half due to environmental costs at one of its factories. So for a while many Detailers at Dealerships were out of their supply. Our company bought a huge supply after they announced that they were not going to make it anymore. Now other companies have replaced the gap in demand and they have started supplying the industry once again. Any carpet with this coating can clean a coffee stain with...
Shih Tzu - My Puppy Chews A Lot Especially On Me!
Puppies who chew are normal. Chewing is a natural and necessary puppy behavior. Puppies at about four months of age are more prone to chewing because this is when they usually start teething. Other dogs that chew, especially when you are not at home, may be suffering from separation anxiety. Separation anxiety requires an entire new behavior treatment plan. In this newsletter, I want to give you a few tips for your typical, normal-behaving puppy chewer! Some things you can do is try to teach your puppy not to chew inappropriate items. You can sit on the floor with him, casually place an object before him like a shoe, or a pencil (something he has chewed on inappropriately). As puppy approaches the...
Before the Malls Came: Showmanship for...
Over forty years ago, a movie theatre didn't need to be located in a shopping mall to attract sufficient patrons. As other small, privately owned businesses had done before them, small-town movies theatres survived -- and, in some cases, even thrived -- for several decades. One may still occasionally find independent theatres grinding away in small towns located far enough away from metropolitan areas, but one is more likely to find abandoned buildings with empty marquess that often resemble the rusted prows of old ships. Some old theatre buildings serve as shells for churches and small businesses, but even many of these buildings wear such skimpy camouflage that someone passing through town can...

How Can the Kids Help Around the House?
When my husband was in college, a number of his fellow students were bringing their dirty laundry home, and Mom was coming once a month to clean their room. This wasn't because they were lazy, but they simply didn't know how to do the laundry or house cleaning!Don't let your children become like those students... Apart from the fact that teaching your children house and other chores prepare them for life on their own, they're also chores that you don't need to do!

More Comfortable Hospital Stays
"A Comfortable Hospital Stay" may seem like an oxymoronic title: no one can truly be comfortable in a place where pans are used as toilets. But, for most of us, hospital stays are unavoidable. From the appendix that erupted to the birth of a child, chances are people will find themselves in the hospital at some point in their lives. While sometimes these stays aren't planned, many instances involve knowing ahead of time, granting the patient with the ability to bring along a few items to make the hospital more hospitable. Pack Toiletries Packing for a stay at the hospital is similar to packing for a stay in a hotel, only you don't need to bring your swimsuit. The toiletries you typically use...

Most people who took piano lessons as a kid, including me, grew up learning to read music exactly as it is written on the printed page. Being able to read music is a valuable skill, and I am delighted I learned that skill at an early age.But there is a downside to only being able to read music without understanding what you are reading. A couple real-life examples illustrate the point:What happens when you are playing and your sheet music slips off the piano and onto the floor? Unless your name is Victor Borge and you can turn the situation into comedy, you will probably find the situation extremely embarrassing. I have seen it happen several times to pianists who play well but who don't know how...
Tables
Tables are an essential furniture item for any room and come in enough styles to compliment any decor. They are the products of skilled workmanship and artistic design. Tables satisfy both functional and aesthetic needs and are used for domestic, business and ecclesiastical purposes.

How to Commit Brand Suicide
A graphic designer spoke to me last week. His graphic design firm -- let's call it XYZ Design -- was numero uno in designing labels for a large wine company. Let's call that ABC Wines. Now ABC wines had some really super wines. They loved the incomparable graphic design of XYZ design, and continued to use them for several of their major brands. This one client alone generated tons of work and income for XYZ design right through the year.Then It Happened...ABC Wines sold out to another wine company. This new wine company had its own in-house graphic designers. That effectively meant XYZ Design's income and work flow were severely hit, causing them to scramble for new clients to fill the gap."If only...
The transformer is an electrical device, which transforms voltage through magnetic coupling with no moving parts. It consists of a magnetic core, with two or more coupled windings, which either steps up or steps down the incoming voltage. This is done by the transfer of energy from one circuit to the other, through the magnetic core. These windings are generally termed as Primary and Secondary windings. The electromagnetic field thus created under goes a process of expanding and collapsing around the conductor and this changes the induced current, with the formation of an out put from the secondary coil, either stepping up or stepping down the input voltage.In order to understand the function of a...

Each person has a lifetime of stories to share. As a child of divorce, I got to know my father when I was 16. That was the summer he shared his love of guitar and music with me: I heard the stories of his wonderful, musical life.I spent many evenings listening to dad play, the music he wrote and the pieces that had inspired him, stories of his musical past spinning in the air like sparks from a campfire. We talked music theory like it was tabloid gossip and we made music together until the sun was long past set and our fingers were worn.There were some stories I never learned and I suppose he always thought there'd be time to eventually share all the details that made his past up.I...

I've never liked the idea of New Year's Resolutions. If you make them, you feel that you are somehow accountable, and what if you don't live up? Who's keeping score anyway? It could be the most unrelenting taskmaster of all. On a very real level, the worst person you ever want to disappoint is yourself. Maybe that is why I don't like New Year's Resolutions. Despite the fact that I don't like them and I invariably refuse to make them, the New Year is nevertheless a time to reflect, to think about where you've been in the past year and to set your sights on where you'd like to go. This much self-analysis I can handle. As the holiday festivities wind down, I enjoy curling up with a nice cup of my...

Alaska. Talk about a place that's gotten a bum rap. Half the world thinks it's part of Canada and the other half thinks it's just a big block of ice. Well, hold on to your fur coats because there is more to see and do in Alaska than you know.For starters there's Kenai Fords National Park. Here you can go on a sightseeing cruise to visit some glaciers and see some marine wildlife. The ship sails out of Seward. The park is just 130 miles south of Anchorage. It is made of a range of coastal mountains which slowly sink into the ocean, transforming its former glacial valleys into long fjords with rocky and steep walls. Photos just don't do it justice. You have to see it in person.While we're on...
Bocce Ball Hobby
Bocce Ball Hobby 15th March 2007 Author: Peter Jay Well, I haven't played bocce ball in a while, but it is a fun hobby. I wish I had a bocce ball set so that I could play again. The first time I ever played was on a group date with a married couple. They kept talking about this game that they always play from Italy, called bocce ball. That was before it really caught on in the United States. Now it seems like many people know about. Bocce ball is a game where you just toss the bocce balls against another ball. First, you throw the first ball. There are two teams. One team then throws a bocce ball and tries to get their bocce ball to land as close as possible to the target ball, the first...

I can still hear the sound of red-winged blackbirds singing as i pulled my rusty old wagon down the path to the woods. When I got to "my" crabapple tree I would unpack my wagon... a ragged blanket to cover the thistles, three or four of my best pals (dolls and teddies), a stack of books, and a plastic jug of Kool-Aid. And then I was set for the afternoon. I could talk and pretend with my dolls until it was time to pack up the wagon and head home for supper. That was really summer. With a loose schedule, those days were my time. In a recent FAMILY IMPACT survey, children from ages 4 to 15 were asked, "What would you like to do this summer?" The overwhelming response was, "PLAY!" Not one child...
History of the Curling Iron
History of the curling iron. Is there such a thing or is the curling iron just a modern invention? Each generation is the same. We think we have invented something new when perhaps all we have done is to modify "old inventions" by applying modern technology. Let us begin to investigate the history of the curling iron or, as it is also known, the curling tong.Let us begin with the definition of a curling iron. It is a tool, a cylindrical metal appliance, used to change the structure of the hair by applying heat to a lock of hair that has been curled around it. It is natural to think with a modern mind and assume that the heat is generated by electricity. However, the curling iron goes way back before...

Here's a great reminder of self improvement theory that I got from the winter sport of curling. As I write it is March 2007, and I am coming to the end of my first full season playing curling. Invented in Scotland around 500 years ago, it's massive in that country, and in Canada. Elsewhere it is a minority sport to say the least, and the local curling rink to me is the only one on the whole of England! I went for a training session a couple of weeks ago, and was a bit concerned. I knew I had developed bad habits in my delivery of the curling stone, and was not sure well I would be able to unlearn them. The session was taken by a Canadian girl who has been playing for over 20 years. She asked me what...

To clean a carpet, first have all the equipment in place. This includes carpet cleaning supplies, machines and accessories, which can make the job simpler. Select equipment depending on whether you want to 'clean' or 'deep clean' a carpet or simply remove a stain.

There are four types that can be used: the 'upright,' the 'canister,' the 'handheld' and 'spotters'. The 'canister' is different from the 'upright' mainly in design and not in functionality. Most people prefer the 'upright' as it is more convenient to handle...
