Gift Ideas

It could be the confirmation you were looking for or the reason you need to go out and buy an iPhone rather than a Blackberry or an Android mobile phone. According to a survey conducted by dating site OkCupid.com iPhone owners have more sex and with more partners than owners of other smartphones – wow, there’s an app for that? Male owners of the Apple wonder phone will have had 10 different partners by the time they reach the age of 30 so it seems that antenna problems only stretch so far as the phone itself

Hermanos Taco Shop's Rolled Beef Tacos We love Mexican food (although I'm not quite familiar with what they call California Mexican Food, like Baja in Greenbelt). Hermanos (meaning “siblings”) Taco Shop claims to have the most authentic Mexican dishes in town since the owner's stepdad is actually Mexican. The rolled tacos here are quite popular because they are unique fare.

PHYTO , the expert in botanical hair care, introduces Phytolium shampoo and Phytolium 4 treatment, launching September 2010.  The energizing shampoo and 4-patent treatment is an all-natural and side effect free alternative to chemical hair loss ingredients such as Minoxidil and Finasteride. Scientists at the Phytosolba Laboratories in Bezons, France, referred to their expertise in plant molecule research, extraction methods and biotechnology to find the most effective botanical ingredients to combat male pattern baldness and alopecia. The result?  Unlike chemical-based products, where measurable changes disappear within months after discontinuation of the treatment, Phytolium 4’s results are safe and long-lasting.  The amount of hair loss decreases, healthy hair grows and the diameter of each hair strand increases in density.

Apparently PC Pro likes to be late to the game. They are reporting that modern smart phones are vulnerable to “ smudge attacks .” So what is a “smudge attack?” It’s a fancy term for saying you can look at the finger prints on the touchscreen of a phone to determine the password or unlock pattern for the phone

I began this abstract painting on paper with Alizarin Crimson hard body Liquitex acrylic paint, moving through the reds to orange and yellow, applying the paint by touching a flat brush to the paper.  I started with dark reds in the center, then moved outward to the yellows, with some variations.  I painted the top and bottom with a pale blue thinned with water.

Most anyone who has used cameras, either film or digital cameras , knows that the world looks quite different through a camera lens and that much of the skill needed for a good photograph is a good “camera eye” which is simply being able to form an image in the mind of what a scene before you will look like through one lens or another. Beginners with a camera tend to fire and shoot when they see something that interests them, with little regard to composition or framing, but with experience, almost anyone can develop a good “camera eye” and the instant review capability of digital cameras makes this easier than ever before, plus there is always editing software to tweak a pic as needed.

Sometimes, adding a car review as a gadget can prove tenuous at best but we do it anyway because we like cars but Jaguar has gone all out to provide us with a car that you can proudly and genuinely call a gadget – in fact, you can call it a whole bucket load of gadgets because the new Jaguar XJ is crammed full of tech goodies that every reader will be crying out to get their hands on. It’s got probably one of the most ridiculously intelligent dashboards you’ll see in a car for some time. Rather than albeit functional but now old fashioned dials to show speed, petrol level, etc… there is instead a 12.3 inch LCD screen and it’s definitely not a boring affair

The fight to find a viable and meaningful use of renewable energy is far from over. Solar power is a fairly obvious use of our natural resources especially if global warming leads to hotter summers but solar panels can prove cumbersome and far from attractive

I may be getting older, but I am darn sure not slowing down. Just finished up a long four day weekend that included two great shows with the rock band and my fellow musicians, then off to our home, up north, for a couple of days of hard work to continue our remodeling and moving in. Whew! Sometimes I wonder where I get time to actually use my binoculars , spotting scopes , telescopes and digital cameras and be the outdoors gal I am.

Guest post from my friends at College Candy ! What’s the one thing you should have in your closet before moving to school ?  It’s definitely not a pair of sweats or an oversized tee. But, if you do it right, this very special wardrobe essential can feel just as good. I’m talking about the cotton dress.

Grid patterns are great backgrounds for abstract art because they provide a structure to stabilize the composition while you play other forms against it.  I left a lot of white showing in my latest grid pattern, which contrasted against the blues, greens and pale peach. Then I brushed or drew more free-form, circular shapes in darker blues

Whether it’s a case of bad company branding or it just doesn’t matter the fact that 37% of Blackberry owners don’t know who Research in Motion (RIM) are is quite a startling fact considering they are the company that manufactures the Blackberry line of smartphones. The poll, which was undertaken by rightmobilephone.co.uk, also threw up some other figures that RIM should perhaps take not of. 70% of those questioned said that the Blackberry Torch (which we think needs a name change for a start) would fail to beat the iPhone 4 and 83% of users said that the Apple handset offered better apps.
