    UNITED STATES PLASTIC GUN BAN
    December 3, 2013 - United States

    A law that banned plastic guns that were undetectable in metal detectors was set to expire by the end of the year unless the US Congress passed it again. The US House passed it on November 3rd and the US Senate passed it on December 10th. The law requires all plastic guns to have at least one metal part that cannot be removed in the firing mechanism. Gun control advocates were hoping to expand the law.

    TECHNICOLOR
    December 3, 1922 - Rialto Theatre, New York City

    The first really successful Technicolor motion picture film was released. The movie, shown at the Rialto Theatre in New York City, was The Toll of the Sea, derived from Madame Butterfly but shifted to China. It was filmed using the early two-color System 2. The Technicolor camera [left] recorded the red and blue-green images simultaneously through a single lens using a beam splitter and color filters to record the images stacked one on top of the other. System 1 had used additive colour with filters on two projected images. System 2 used two dyed matrix prints cemented back to back to form a the final release print. The process was developed by Dr. Herbert T. Kalmus, who founded Technicolor Motion Picture Corp. in 1915.

  • A Change is Gonna Come
    by Meredith Grey

    "...Change; we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But here's the truth: Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything...."
  • Until a man duplicates a blade of grass
    by Earth Day, Thomas Alva Edison Inventor

    "...Until a man duplicates a blade of grass, Nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge. Remedies from chemicals will never stand in favorable comparison with the products of Nature, the living cell of a plant, the final result of the rays of the sun, the mother of all life...."

    about Stolen On New Year's

    More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than any other holiday throughout the year. (So does that mean thieves are having their last fling before changing their ways or are they trying for a big score to start the New Year?) Harvard Medical School
    about Eyesight Myth and Fact

    Myth: Staring at a computer screen all day is harmful to the eyes. Fact: Spending the day staring at a screen can tire or strain your eyes, but it will not hurt them. Make sure lighting doesn't create a glare on your screen. When spending long periods at your keyboard, take a break now and then to rest your eyes to reduce fatigue. Also, don't forget to blink. Your eyes need to stay lubricated to feel comfortable.

If your back porch is empty it might be time to think about adding some great patio furniture. Patio furniture is a simple way to add a lot to any porch or deck.

Think about the many uses of well chosen patio furniture. First, having great patio furniture for your back deck or porch will encourage you to be outside more. When the weather turns nice not many people want to remain indoors any longer. Most look for ways to get out into the beautiful weather. But who is anxious to use their back porch or deck if it is totally empty? No one will rush outside to read a book or enjoy a glass of lemonade without somewhere comfortable to sit. Everyone could use a little more time outside, so think about purchasing some patio furniture so you can get out and enjoy the weather.

Another great reason to purchase patio furniture is to have a place to enjoy one of the most classic things to do in summer: barbequing. Every family I know could use an excuse to spend more time together and nothing is more fun in the summer than enjoying a great barbeque. Adding perfect patio furniture can give youreason to fire up that grill and make a family memory. If barbequing isn’t something your family enjoys consider having a game night using your patio furniture or make a picnic to enjoy just outside your home. Get creative. The important thing here is to use your new patio furniture to spend more quality time as a family, whatever that means for you.

Having patio furniture brings you one step closer to being able to host a great summer party. Invite all of your closest family and friends over to enjoy an afternoon of fun, food and fellowship. People will love to share good conversation and a glass of iced tea while they lounge on your patio furniture. There is nothing worse than hosting a party and having no where for people to sit and relax. You can host the best parties of the summer if you add small things like patio furniture to make your home more guest and party friendly.

A final great reason to consider purchasing patio furniture for your home is that patio furniture is really durable. Unlike some purchases that you have to buy over and over, when you purchase quality patio furniture you are investing in something that will add fun to your summers for years to come. Be sure to choose a style that will last a long time and that you’ll enjoy for a while. Shy away from choosing a trendy design or fabric pattern for your patio furntiture. The more basic and classic you choose, the longer you will want to keep it.

If you still aren’t convinced that patio furniture is right for you, a final thing I can suggest is to check it out. Go to a store or two and see what is available. Take time to sit in the chairs. I’m quite sure that once you see how full of comfort patio furniture really is, you’ll be purchasing some for your home before you know it.
