| Article Title :: Less Expensive Decorative Ceramic Tile! |
| |
|
Last year we renovated our kitchen and installed a back splash
behind our counters. We used small ceramic tiles (4" x 4"). The
plain tiles we used were very inexpensive, less than $1.00 a
piece. But, we needed a bit of color, so we ended up buying a
few decorative tiles to place in between the plain tiles.
The problem with the decorative tiles was the cost!! Each tile
cost $8.00 a piece!!! Needless to say, we didn't buy many of
them. But, they really did make a decorative difference when
placed in between the plain tiles.
I was telling a friend of mine about the cost of these
decorative tiles and she told me what she had done. She has
wonderful decorative tiles, but as I found out, sh (read full article) |

Magic Levitation - The Ultimate in Magic
There are all kinds of magic tricks these days that are quite
fascinating and amazing. You have your classic everyday card
tricks, you have coin tricks, and magic tricks involving
everyday objects. But there is one magic trick that blows all
other magic tricks away, and that is the capability of being
able to levitate some object into mid air.
Of all the magic tricks that I perform for people, when I can
all of a sudden borrow a dollar bill from them and magically
have it float under my command without any evidence of magnets
or strings, and hand the dollar bill back to them, they are
always blown away in astonishment. Magic levitation defies

| Article Title :: If Elias Howe Invented the Sewing Machine, Then Why is it called
a Singer? |
| |
|
Sorry ... the history books aren't quite right. Elias Howe did
not invent the first sewing machine. In fact, if you define
sewing machine as "a machine that can sew items in a practical
and usable manner", then he didn't invent a sewing machine at
all!
Actually, the first sewing machine patent was received in 1755
by Charles Weisenthal in London. Technically, his machine did
embroidery, but it was the first to recognize that an
eye-pointed needle did not need to pass entirely through a
garment. This machine was not labor or time-saving, though, and
was thus not a practical solution as a "machine that can be used
for sewing".
