Last week we saw photos of what appeared to be metal molds for Griffin's FlexGrip silicone iPhone case for the 3G iPhone. If new information from Ideals China is correct, then Griffin could be in trouble. They claim to have word from an insider source that the 3G iPhone will be just a little bit shorter and thinner than the shells that have been circulating China, meaning that their case has the

For those with 'scientific' and 'evidence-based' brains who rely on 'studies' when thinking to advise patients on taking vitamins , please read this article from Life Extension, a non-profit and research-based organisation on vitamins and anti-aging medicine..-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It is almost inconceivable to think that for the greater part of the 20th century, a “scientific” debate raged as to whether cigarette smoking was dangerous. An even longer running controversy focused on whether food choices (i.e. diet) had any effect on how long people lived. It was not until the later part of the 20th century that the FDA admitted that high saturated fat diets increase heart attack risk.Today’s unanimous recommendation t

The impact of higher gas prices (with diesel at $4.15 I've seen locally) are being felt by RV campgrounds and resorts."Campers are not venturing as far or as wide as they might have," said Linda Profaizer, president of the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds."They're definitely staying closer to home," she said. As prices are expected to inch up over $4 a gallon for gas, and over $5 for diesel this summer, it will continue to have more of an impact as RVers and vacationers change their travel plans.

In case you did not know, cobras have short fangs. Unlike vipers, these snakes cannot fold their fangs out of the way when they are not being used. If the fangs were too long, a cobra would injure itself when it closed its mouth. That only thing would only happen in cartoons.

We all have read these things in fashion magazines -- People who have short and broad necks should not wear close necked or high-collared outfits. A woman with fat arms should avoid wearing sleeveless outfits. A person with a big stomach should take care not to wear figure-hugging clothes. A tall person should wear clothes with horizontal stripes while a shorter person will look better in

It’s been a really long time since I’ve seen my dad in person. While I was out with my daughter today, I saw a man who looked a lot like my dad. It was startling how much. I kept glancing over, trying to decide if that’s what my dad would look like with shorter hair and carrying a little more weight. My brain twisted around and around looking for the answer. I finally asked my daughter to look. “Who is that man?” She looked and said, “I don’t know.” I asked, “Is that your grandpa?” She looked again. “No. He looks like him, though.” The man got up and left and I was suddenly unable to hide the fact that I was trembling. I put my head down and started to cry. My daughter was perplexed. “Why are you crying?” I told her I didn’t know exactly. That I thought it might really be him. She said, “I would think I’d be glad to see my dad if I were you.” Then she said something else. I don&r

When the Democrats were elected in 2006, they promised to “end to the two-day workweek.” Evidently, now they appear to have changed their minds. The House majority leader, Representative Steny H.

I've noticed that in our area (Northeast US) it seems like the rain is performing a scaled enactment of the global drought-flood theory for future weather. It's said that we can expect many more extremes weather-wise, as a growing replacement for our normal "softer" weather shifts. This seems to be reflected locally.We used to get rain storms that would last at least an hour. Now we're lucky if we get rain that lasts more than fifteen minutes. The thunder used to arrive quickly and leave quickly. Now it lingers a ways away and seems to last a lot longer.The rain shows up fast, comes down sudden and hard, and then lightens up quickly. Then it comes back with heavy-sounding droplets, and then fades.Whenever it rains, the sense usually is, “Oh, all right, it’s raining! Good, our lawn could do with some liquid refreshment.” But it rarely lives up to expectation, with such a shortened duration.A couple of months ago, during the summer, it rained for a week straight. I wonder if pat

Americans are no longer the tallest nation in the world. The new anthropometric research shows that American people are becoming fatter and shorter than Europeans. Too much fast food in the American diet may be one of the reasons behind the trend, the study says. However, the height problem is even worse in Russia. America’s population ceased to be the tallest in the world. The study, conducted by Professor John Komlos of the University of Munich, found that a white American male averaged 173.69 cm in height in 1850. The American white male average was 178.7 cm in 2000. The African-American male average was slighter shorter. Europeans have grown much taller in 150 years, with the Netherlands towering above the rest of the world as the tallest country. In 1850, the Dutch averaged 164.5 cm in height, whereas the population’s average height measured 184.12 cm at the turn of the 21st century. Prof. Komlos published a number of articles to explain why Americans have started to grow c

Some of you might have noticed that my giant blogroll thereon the side is shorter. With recent changes that have allowed us to add more fun (scroll down the right for my “flair” box) the blogroll had to be cut short to 15 blogs. I’m sure that for many that’s more than enough. But not for me. How could I pick and choose only 15 blogs when there are so many I adore? So a few blogs had to be left off. And I’m a bit sad. I still have them in my feed on my computer, but they’re gone for all of you who stroll in. I jsut wanted to say that if you noticed you were no longer on my blogroll please don’t take it personally. I still love you all. blogging, blog roll

Many naturally assume the growth in online video consumption is driven by teens and twenty-somethings watching amateur content. According to a survey conducted by Advertising.com and InsightExpress, they're wrong.Rather, streaming video fans are by and large over-35 news junkies who tolerate in-stream ads in short bursts.Researchers polled a random sample of 500 Internet users on their video viewing patterns during the first two quarters of this year. Among the findings: Well over half of respondents, fully 62 percent, said they view streaming video online. And those active viewers are predominantly Gen X and older. Among consumers aged 18 to 34, only 31 percent of respondents said they view streaming content online, compared with 69 percent of the 35-plus crowd. Also, 95 percent said they typically stream video content from home, versus work (4 percent) or school (1 percent).Respondents indicated acceptance of advertising but hostility to lengthy in-stream spots. While 94 percent of

A beautiful article that I came across on amamama.co.za Doulas: A Key to Shorter Labors and Better Births What would you do if you were told that scientific studies have uncovered a way to have a shorter labor with less pain — and that method is completely natural? Would you get excited? Many women hope for a shorter, natural birth. And studies have proven there is a way for women to have this. This amazing way to help laboring women is called the doula. A doula is another woman who stays with a mother throughout labor and birth. The word “doula” comes from a Greek word that means “servant” or “women’s servant.” A doula is a traditional role that women have been filling for centuries. Careful scientific studies in this century have proven what birthing women have always known — doulas help women to have better birth outcomes. Proven Around the World International studies have shown the benefit of doulas to birthing women. Women who

Chennai, June 9 (IANS) Making a strong pitch for one-day internationals and Twenty20 games, International Cricket Council (ICC) acting president Ray Mali said here Saturday that the shorter versions of the game have made cricket “much more attractive”. “ODIs and Twenty20 games have rendered test cricket much more attractive than it was as more than 350 runs are scored on a single day. The game is alive and kicking,” he said. Dismissing Sri Lankan skipper Mahela Jayawardene’s warning against Twenty20 cricket, Mali averred, “He should give this concept a go and then take a decision thereafter.” Mali from South Africa was named acting head of the world cricket body after the demise of Percy Sonn last week. He was here on the occasion of the the Afro-Asia cup tournament. Asserting that the ICC under his leadership will frown upon any sort of corruption creeping into the game, he downplayed concerns about reports of match-fixing and other controver

After reading a very enlightening post from the guys at $1000 Film called "Short Films Suck", I've got new motivation to make a feature. I'm not as militant about avoiding the short form (hey, I have made a few), but do admit that if the goal is make features, then that is what you should be doing. On the financial side, there is no money in short films, where features can open a lot of doors, and even a few wallets. I'm even starting to believe the $1000 Film ethic, which could really maximize profits in the long run.The first step toward creating a film of this budgetary ilk, is crafting an appropriate screenplay. When I say "appropriate", I'm not speaking of content as much as doable material. If you really allot yourself a meager sum as a budget (and refuse to go over it), you need to think ahead. Planning will be your greatest ally, and the first step of your plan is the simplest.Time is money, and if you only have a little money, give yourself little time. The minimum length
