Magnetic forces are among the most potent power sources in the known universe. And just like the force of (1)gravity, magnetic forces are ever-present, constantly at work, and they have a dramatic impact on our daily lives. In fact, were it not for magnetism and all of its inherent forces, our species would not (could not) exist on this planet. We owe our existence to magnetism At the center of our small solar system resides a massive nuclear power plant. We call it the...

You've likely heard one of those chaos theory statements such as "If a pigeon lands on a statue in Trafalgar Square, and at the same time a tree falls in Yellowstone Park, then it will rain on Mount Kilimanjaro." Baffling, isn't it? Well, such is the nature of chaos theory. But higher prices for fuel at the pump are absolutely causing more and more people to sit at traffic lights that won't change for them. It's a very direct cause and effect issue – not at all chaos theory. ...

On December 10th in the year 1868, the first traffic signal light was placed into service. The bulky, primitive device employed colored lamps that were fueled by gas for use after dark, and semaphore arms. It required an operator to attend it at all times that it was in use. Twenty three days after that first traffic signal light went into service, it exploded – injuring the police officer who was assigned to run the lights and signals. This unfortunate event brought into que...

If you own any wrought iron patio and lawn furniture, a wrought iron weather vane, or any number of other outdoor home adornments or implements, then you really should consider sandblasting the next time you need to refinish.

The term 'sandblasting' is taken from the initial processes of forci...

Computer users have been inundated with warnings about viruses for years. Those dastardly, scheming bits of code that covertly enter a PC, and then perform the most nefarious of tasks – up to and including infecting the computers of all the people in the resident address book. Virus infestations of computers have been responsible for shutting down entire companies, vast networks, government offices, and even the Internet. After years of being cautioned regarding computer v...

We humans buy real estate and build a house. We move in, and create a home. When we are ready to move, it again becomes real estate… anon. The chances are, someday you’re going to put your house up for sale on the local real estate market, and either start working with a professional real estate agent (a.k.a. realtor®) to find a new house, or go out and look for one on your own. Perhaps you will be the first family to live in the new house, perhaps not. Either way, you wil...

(1)Tucson Arizona is the state's second largest city. Its population, estimated at over 900,000, is not far behind the Arizona state capital, Phoenix Arizona which has roughly 1.4 million residents. Surprisingly, (pleasantly so) Tucson does not emanate the typical air of a large city. Even with close to a million (2)Tucsonans, and a vibrant economic base, it somehow manages to 'feel' more like a mid-size town. Perhaps the perfect year around weather accounts for all the fr...

An Easy Performance Enhancement If you’re using the NTFS filing protocol on your system, instead of FAT32, you can get a bit more speed by disabling Windows® Indexing. The downside to this is that searching your drive for a specific file might take a moment or two longer, but everything else should run faster. To disable this feature open My Computer and then right click on the drive you wish to reset – usually C-drive. Now click on Properties and then uncheck “Allow In...

Anyone who has purchased a computer system has learned how quickly they lose their value, and become obsolete. This rapid devaluation often leads to the dilemma: what to do with an older system, when you’re no longer going to use it? Selling it is most often a waste of time and effort. A computer bought for $3,000.00 on January 1, 2005 and then put up for sale on December 31, 2005 will rarely bring offers of more than $100.00 - $150.00, and even these don’t come often. Older ...

To begin with, allow me to do my part in dissipating an axiom that's time has come and gone. Discussing politics, religion, and sex is no longer the faux pas it once was. This is not to say that you should zero in on these subjects for your discussion fodder, but you don't have to be afraid to delve into any one of them. Discussing politics, in case you haven't noticed, is pretty depressing. Perhaps reason enough to approach this conversation topic gingerly. Religion? Whil...

Included in the steps of accepting death are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and ultimately, acceptance. Though these emotional responses were not intended for this purpose, clearly, many people are in denial about the slow, painful passing of print media. Right now, as print media is in its death throes, there is a lot of denial. There is also a lot of anger and depression, but that largely emanates from the owners and shareholders of print publications, including ...

Some people don't – and for very real reasons... I've been taking professional photographs for about thirty years. Ever since I started, I've heard a constant comment. It is always said something like "I just don't take good pictures" or "the camera just doesn't like me." Almost invariably, when this statement is uttered, everyone within earshot gives a chuckle, or immediately starts assuring the speaker that they really do look good. Sometimes it's true, but often it's no...
