The best thing invented since sliced bread IS contact lenses.
I got my first pair when I was 14. I remember begging my father. I was 4 before I knew trees had leaves. So by 14 my prescription was pretty thick. Surprisingly he went for it, especially when the eye Dr. told him wearing these hard lenses would stop my vision from changing. Then came the lecture. As they were hard lenses, they had an adaptation period, you couldn't sleep in them, the list was long. I recall sitting in the waiting room after they taught me how to put them in.....I was reading a book. All these people were crying and had running noses. They were talking about just getting contacts. I wasn't having any problems.......no adjustment period, I wore them home (dad lectured, I ignored) I had that same set of contacts for 10 years. Since then they quit making the hard lense....and I had to go to soft. I never liked them. Couldn't see as crisply as my hard lenses. I tried toric, and I even tried mono vision. I actually didn't mind those (figures)...low and behold, I was reading on the internet that the hard lense are back and they build a bifocal around the edges, all the way around, so when you look down, you get bifocal, not like the sprinkle of bifocal you get in those soft lenses. So I found an eye Dr who knew how to dispense them, (she wore them) and I am as happy with these as I was when I was 14! Better than sliced bread.

Hot air popcorn poppers appeared for home use in the late 1970s, which produced popcorn with only 5% of its calories derived from fat.
The popcorn maker (also called popcorn machine) is a device used to pop popcorn. Commercial popcorn machines are usually found in movie theaters and carnivals, producing popcorn of the oil-popped type, which has approximately 45% of its calories derived from fat. |

Battery Jump Boxes
I used one all last week to get to and from work. Just kept jumping the car and charging the unit every evening.
This gave me a chance to not have to buy/install a new car battery until the weekend. I love those things. It is a great idea for people to keep them in their cars at all times. Nice to not need another car to jump yours when stuck somewhere with a dead battery.

Paintbrushes "Paintbrush" redirects here. For other uses, see Paintbrush (disambiguation). Paintbrushes are used for applying ink or paint. Paintbrushes are primary used by artists for painted pictures. A special kind of drawing is the so called paintbrush-drawing, drawings only done with paintbrushes instead of pencil or pen. Paintbrush drawing by Herbert Wetterauer (Portrait of Martin Heidegger) These brushes are usually made by clamping the bristles to a handle with a ferrule. [edit]Decorators' brushes The sizes of brushes used for painting and decorating are given in mm or inches, referring to the width of the head. Common sizes are: ⅛ in, ¼ in, ⅜ in, ½ in, ⅝ in, ¾ in, ⅞ in, 1 in, 1¼ in, 1½ in, 2 in, 2½ in, 3 in, 3½ in, 4 in. 10 mm, 20 mm, bob 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 70 mm, 80 mm, 90 mm, 100 mm. Bristles may be natural or synthetic. If the filaments are synthetic, they could be made of polyester, nylon or a blend of nylon and polyester. Filaments can be hollow or solid and can be tapered or untapered. Brushes with tapered filaments give a smoother finish. [1] Synthetic filaments last longer than natural bristles. Natural bristles are preferred for oil-based paints and varnishes, while synthetic brushes are better for water-based paints as the bristles do not expand when wetted. [2] A decorator judges the quality of a brush based on several factors: filament retention, paint pickup, steadiness of paint release, brush marks, drag and precision painting. A chiseled brush permits the painter to cut into tighter corners and paint more precisely. [3] Handles may be wood or plastic; ferrules are metal (usually nickel-plated steel). Paintbrushes [edit]Artists' brushes Short handled brushes are for watercolor or ink painting while the long handled brushes are for oil or acrylic paint. [edit]Shapes The styles of brush tip seen most commonly are: Round: pointed tip, long closely arranged bristles for detail Flat: for spreading paint quickly and evenly over a surface. They will have longer hairs than their Bright counterpart. Bright: shorter than flats. Flat brushes with short stiff bristles, good for driving paint into the weave of a canvas in thinner paint applications, as well as thicker painting styles like impasto work. Filbert: flat brushes with domed ends. They allow good coverage and the ability to perform some detail work. Fan: for blending broad areas of paint. Angle: like the filbert, these are versatile and can be applied in both general painting application as well as some detail work. Mop: a larger format brush with a rounded edge for broad soft paint application as well as for getting thinner glazes over existing drying layers of paint without damaging lower layers. Rigger: round brushes with longish hairs, traditionally used for painting the rigging in pictures of ships. They are useful for fine lines and are versatile for both oils and watercolors. Stippler and deer-foot stippler: short, stubby rounds Liner: elongated rounds Dagger Scripts: highly elongated rounds Egbert Types of Brushes Some other styles of brush include: Sumi: Similar in style to certain watercolor brushes,also with a generally thick wooden or bamboo handle and a broad soft hair brush that when wetted should form a fine tip. Also spelled Sumi-e. Hake: An Asian style of brush with a large broad wooden handle and an extremely fine soft hair used in counterpoint to traditional Sumi brushes for covering large areas. Often made of goat hair. Spotter: Round brushes with just a few short bristles. These brushes are commonly used in spotting photographic prints. Stencil: A round brush with a flat top used on stencils to ensure the bristled don't get underneath. Also used to create texture. [edit]Sizes Artists' brushes are usually given numbered sizes, although there is no exact standard for their physical dimensions. From smallest to largest, the sizes are: 20/0, 10/0, 7/0 (also written 0000000), 6/0, 5/0, 4/0, 000, 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 25, 26, 28, 30. Brushes as fine as 30/0 are manufactured by major companies, but are not a common size. Sizes 000 to 20 are most common. [edit]Bristles Types include: watercolor brushes which are usually made of sable, synthetic sable or nylon; oil painting brushes which are usually made of sable or bristle; acrylic brushes which are almost entirely nylon or synthetic. Turpentine or thinners used in oil painting can destroy some types of synthetic brushes. However, innovations in synthetic bristle technology have produced solvent resistant synthetic bristles suitable for use in all media. Natural hair, squirrel, badger or sable are used by watercolorists due to their superior ability to absorb and hold water. Bristles may be natural — either soft hair or hog bristle — or synthetic. Soft hair brushes are made from Kolinsky sable or ox hair (sabeline); or more rarely, squirrel, pony, goat, mongoose or badger. Cheaper hair is sometimes called camel hair, although it does not come from camels. Hog bristle (often called China bristle or Chungking bristle) is stiffer and stronger than soft hair. It may be bleached or unbleached. Synthetic bristles are made of special multi-diameter extruded nylon filament, or Taklon, multi-diameter polyester. and are becoming ever more popular with the development of new water based paints. [edit]Handles Artists' brush handles are commonly wooden but can also be made of molded plastic. Many mass-produced handles are made of unfinished raw wood; better quality handles are of seasoned hardwood. The wood is sealed and lacquered to give the handle a high-gloss, waterproof finish that reduces soiling and swelling. Metal ferrules may be of aluminum, nickel, copper, or nickel-plated steel. Quill ferrules are also found: these give a different "feel" to the brush.

The glorious vibrator!
For centuries, doctors had been treating women for a wide variety of illnesses by performing what is now recognized as masturbation. The "pelvic massage" was especially common in the treatment of female hysteria during the Victorian Era, as the point of such manipulation was to cause "hysterical paroxysm" (orgasm) in the patient. However, not only did they regard the "vulvular stimulation" required as having nothing to do with sex, but reportedly found it time-consuming and hard work.
One of the first vibrators was a steam-powered device called the "Manipulator", which was created by American physician George Taylor, M.D. This machine was a rather awkward device, but was still heralded as some relief for the doctors who found themselves suffering from fatigued wrists and hands. Circa 1880, Dr. Joseph Mortimer Granville patented the first electromechanical vibrator, then, in 1902, the American company Hamilton Beach patented the first electric vibrator available for retail sale, making the vibrator the fifth domestic appliance to be electrified, after the sewing machine, fan, tea kettle, and toaster, and about a decade before the vacuum cleaner and electric iron. The home versions soon became extremely popular, with advertisements in periodicals such as Needlecraft, Woman's Home Companion, Modern Priscilla, and the Sears, Roebuck catalog. These disappeared in the 1920s, apparently because their appearance in pornography made it no longer tenable for polite society to avoid the sexual connotations of the devices. The vibrator re-emerged due to the sexual revolution of the 1960s. On June 30, 1966, Jon H. Tavel applied for a patent for the "Cordless Electric Vibrator for Use on the Human Body", ushering in the modern personal vibrator. The patent application referenced an earlier patent dating back to 1938, for a flashlight with a shape that left little doubt as to a possible alternate use. The cordless vibrator was patented on March 28, 1968, and was soon followed by such improvements as multi-speed and one-piece construction, which made it cheaper to manufacture and easier to clean. Since the 1980s, vibrators and sex toys have become more visible in mainstream public culture, with the opening of new "sex stores", as well as a landmark "vibrator" discussion on the HBO show Sex and the City. Research published in a 2009 issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine demonstrates that about 53% of women and about 46% of men in the United States ages 18 to 60 have used a vibrator. Until recently, many American Southern and some Great Plains states banned the sale of vibrators completely, either directly or through laws regulating "obscene devices." A federal appeals court upheld Alabama's law prohibiting the sale of sex toys on Valentine's Day, 2007.[13] The law, the Anti-Obscenity Enforcement Act of 1998, was also upheld by the Alabama Supreme Court on September 11, 2009. In February 2008, a US federal appeals court overturned a Texas statute banning the sales of vibrators and other sexual toys, deeming such a statute as violating the Constitution's 14th Amendment on the right to privacy. The appeals court cited Lawrence v. Texas, where the U.S. Supreme Court in 2003 struck down bans on consensual sex between gay couples, as unconstitutionally aiming at "enforcing a public moral code by restricting private intimate conduct". Similar statutes have been struck down in Colorado, and Kansas. As of 2009, Alabama is the only state where a law prohibiting the sale of sex toys remains on the books, though Alabama residents are permitted to buy sex toys with a doctor's note. Some conservative Christians believe that the use of vibrators is immoral and prohibited by the Bible. An American Baptist preacher, Dan Ireland, has been an outspoken critic of such devices and has fought to ban them on religious and ethical grounds. According to Ireland, "Sometimes you have to protect the public against themselves....These devices should be outlawed because they are conducive to promiscuity, because they promote loose morals and because they entice improper and potentially deadly behaviors." Ireland believes that "there is no moral way to use one of these devices." An American bioethicist and medical historian, Jacob M. Appel has argued that sex toys are actually a "social good" and that the devices, which he refers to as "marital substitutes," play "an important role in the emotional lives of millions of Americans." Appel has written: "I cannot say whether more Alabama women own vibrators than own Bibles. If I were guessing, I would suspect that a majority derive more use out of the vibrators. Certainly more pleasure. Nor does there appear to be any remotely rational basis for keeping sex toys out of the hands of married adults, or single adults, or even children. Now that we are relatively confident that masturbation does not make little girls go blind, or cause palms to sprout hair, exposure to sex toys shouldn't harm them. On the list of items that I might not want children to be exposed to in stores—guns, matches, poisons, junk food—sex toys are way down the list." Thanks Wiki!
