Pool Party Planning and Ideas for a Summertime Splash

A pool party can be a great way to relax and cool off in the summertime, especially during those months of July and August often known as the dog days of summer.

In planning a pool party be sure to tell your guests that you intend to make use of the pool. That way they will know to bring their swimming trucks and swimsuits and won’t be left standing around on dry land. You can set up an area in your home specifically for those looking to chang into or out of their swim clothes. If you happen to have a laundry room or mud room that can be accessed directly by those coming into the house all the better. Place anything you think would be helpful in the room, including towels, sunscreen, lotions and of course a little soap if there is a sink. Guests will certainly appreciate the efforts you went to in order to make their visit a pleasant one. If you like you can make up a sign to put on the door that says ‘Changing Room’ or something similar.

Be sure to put a lot of inflatables into the pool for guests to play with or use when they arrive. Little kids who have trouble swimming will appreciate it if you happen to have floaters for their arms to help them literally stay afloat.

A BBQ will make an excellent complement to the pool party. Its outside, the pool is outside and the smells of cooking food will tantalize your guests for hours ensuring that they are good and hungry when the time comes to sit down and eat. If you do have a BBQ at your party, ask around beforehand to see what foods your guests like. You may find that you’ve actually invited a couple of vegetarians who would greatly appreciate it if you grilled up a few veggies like eggplant or portabella mushroom.

Swords - Well Actually a ‘Light-Saber’ - The Possible Physics Behind Those Different Colored Lights

There are no more recognizable swords fictional or real than the Light Saber from the Star Wars movies. The Light Saber was an imaginative invention by George Lucas that was so unique that it immediately took hold as the preeminent symbol of the Star Wars trilogy – and beyond. The Light Saber is a laser based sword that rather than extending to an infinite length as lasers are apt to do based on quantum physics, have been modified to be limited to a mere 1-2 meters based on the wielder of the Light Saber. These Light Sabers are an effective weapon and block the possessor from deadly projectiles, laser blasts, and generate an immense amount of heat capable of penetrating heavy metal doors of almost any alloy. It is an ideal and unique weapon of the Jedi order. The Jedi in the Star Wars trilogy are a band of highly trained and skilled warriors that utilize the ever present ‘force’ to aid them in their battles such that their responses to fast-flying laser blasts, are almost in the realm of precognition.

The Light Sabers also have the added feature of blades of different colors. These Light Sabers with their different laser colors, may have had a purpose other than a distinguishing feature of the Jedi who uses it. The ‘Light’ in Light Saber implies that these lasers are based on light-wave theory. The light of the Light Saber has a different color and therefore based on known physics has a different wave-length that changes with the color of the light. Therefore the Light Saber of a purple color although a laser nonetheless, may have a slightly different purpose based on that different wave-length than say a Jedi warrior with a blue Light Saber. So for example a light-saber with a purple laser may use it’s wavelength for more effective blocking, whereas someone with a green light saber may utilize the wave-length from the green laser for perhaps cutting and slashing. This is only a supposition at this point, but anything is within the realm of possibility in the Star Wars universe.

The Light Sabers that can be purchased on the web, are hand crafted and go into great detail to replicate the exact form and fit of the Light Sabers found in the Star Wars films. They are generally made of real metal, complete with movement sensors that generate the appropriate sounds at the opportune moment. But what is more important is that the weapon feels real, and suspends reality for a moment, and allows the wielder a real sense of what Jedi warriors feel and prepare for - after all it’s a Light Saber.

Humor - Writing Jokes

Joke writers are in such great demand. Anyone who thinks it’s easy to write a joke should try it some time. It’s not and professionals who can write good jokes for comedians are a rare breed. But certainly these joke writers didn’t come out of the womb with a built in funny button. Just like everything else in life, they had to learn their craft. Sure, it helps to have some talent, but there is an art to writing a good joke. In this article we’re going to go over some of the techniques that joke writers use in writing a good joke.

The standard, or most common joke is the one that uses the setup and punch line form. The setup is basically where you explain what the joke is about. The punch line is where you deliver those magical words that hopefully, will make people laugh. Easier said than done. Here is an example of a setup and punch line joke.

Setup - My brother Donald is SO dumb Punch line - He thinks a Mars Bar is an alien food.

Some of the greatest jokes of all time have been of the setup and punch line variety and stand up comics all over the world use these regularly in their acts.

Another technique that is used in comedy, especially in situation comedy dialogue, is the list. Most lists are in groups of three. The first two in the list are alike and not funny but the third thing in the list is the oddball and is used to get the laugh. Here is an example of a list joke.

“Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some hire PR officers.”

This was an actual quote by Daniel J. Boorstin who was a lawyer born in Atlanta, GA. Yes, even lawyers can be funny.

Another technique that joke writers use is what is called the comparison. These are funniest when pointing out extreme differences. Here is an example of a comparison joke.

My wife’s idea of a romantic night is dinner by candlelight. Mine is a quickie on the couch.

Another technique that joke writers us is the simile. This is where you describe something and compare it to something else that is just totally ridiculous. Here is an example of a simile.

He’s a cross between a merry-go-round and a vampire.

Then there are the observations. This is where you simply observe the things that are around you. Nobody was any better at this than Steven Wright, who’s comedy was just so unique. Here is one of his classic observations.

“You can’t have everything. I mean, where would you put it?”

Another device that comics use in telling jokes is mimicking other people. It may be your teacher, your parole officer, even your mother. And of course, when delivering the joke, you have to go into the voice of that person. This is usually good for a chuckle, especially if the audience can relate.

Finally, there is the callback. This is when you refer back to an earlier joke. An example of this would be something like…

I was going to send my brother Donald a Mars Bar, but I couldn’t get a hold of a space ship.

If you think about it, this is funny on SO many levels.

The Capacity to Govern: A Report to the Club of Rome

The world is in need of what I call FOUNDATIONAL-INSPIRATIONAL POLITICAL LEADERSHIP. "Foundational Leadership" is leadership which focuses on laying foundations for a better future. "Inspirational Leadership" is leadership gaining support and cooperation by presenting an inspirational realistic vision for the future.

The collection of speeched by Barack Obama clearly demonstrates a great potential of becoming an outstanding foundational-inspirational American and global leader. Let us hope that this potential will be fully realized.

This collection of speeches is strongly recommended for close reading by leaders, students of leadership and political science, scholars and practitioners interested in rhetorics (in the positive classical sense of the term), and indeed by all active citizen world-wide.

Review date : 2008-11-29
The details of the book are covered well in other reviews, but I do
want to add that this book includes the last speech of his campaign
(on Nov 3 in Manassas Virgina) where he diverts from his stump speech
a bit and reflects on his historic campaign.

This is significant because you will not be able to find a transcript
of this one online because a copy was not given to reporters. As
riveting as his victory speech.

Review date : 2008-11-29
Being on a budget I let myself get only one item to remember the election by — this book was it.

It has every important speech of the campaign starting with his announcement to run for president and ending with his Victory speech on election night in Grant Park. In between you get his speech on race, his acceptance speech at the democratic national convention, his speech after he won the Iowa caucuses — and 11 others.

This edition is called the "international version" because it contains a bonus speech — his one in Berlin, which technically was not part of his campaign.

The best part is that when you read these, you actually hear his voice, and find yourself re-inspired.

Review date : 2008-09-19
This book starts with Obama’s speech announcing his candidacy for the President of the United States and goes straight through to his riveting victory speech in Grant Park in front of 200,000 people.

This book also includes —

The night he won the Iowa Caucus and declared "…at this moment, in this election, we are ready to believe again."

The historic "race speech" where Obama shares his vision for "a more perfect union."

The last night of the democratic primary, when, after 54 contests, he could say "I will be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States."

There are a total of 15, complete, unedited, full text transcripts which can be read and savored in a fraction of the time of watching these speeches live. I was able to relive the best moments of the campaign, one after another, after another.

…And of course his victory speech on Nov 4, 2008 when he became President of the United States.

Computer Music

The audio limitations of all the games machines pre 1995 did not fulfil the potential for full soundtracks. The scratchy synthesised sounds of the Nintendo Entertainment System, or the Sega Mega drive were not up to producing film like score on top of a game. During the eighties, Sony had teamed up with Philips to develop the CD-ROM, but had no experience of the Videogame industry. In 1998, Sony made a deal with Nintendo in an n attempt to create a CD drive for the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System). The new system, called the Super Disc, was designed to play SNES cartridges and CD-ROMs. Nintendo backed out of the deal, leaving Sony to develop the Play Station Experimental, which boasted a slot for cartridges and a CD-ROM drive. In 1995 the PSX was released. Its main selling points were stunning 3D graphics unlike anything seen previously and CD quality sound. This system could also play audio CDs and playstation had other multimedia tricks up their sleeve.

It is indisputable that since the release of the Playstation, Sony has dominated the games industry, with Nintendo lagging behind. Sony?s success can be put down to the fact they applied quality music and video to their games from the start.

With CD quality sound now commonplace on consoles, the music within a game is no longer limited to synthesised sounds. When Sony released the playstation, it was not long before they released their groundbreaking title, Wipeout. This game was a high energy racing game, accompanied by a fast and thrilling soundtrack featuring such artists as the Chemical Brothers, Orbital and Leftfield. Within the game it was possible to select the track you wished to be heard as you raced through winding tunnels and over vast canyons. The music in this game was possibly more important than the game itself, and indeed the soundtrack was released as an album. The follow up titles in this series also involved acts such as Prodigy, Underworld and in the most recent version, DJ Sasha. A host of acts have appeared on games since. Mogwai created the soundtrack for Actua Ice Hockey 2 and Ash earned ?600,000 in royalties for their track on Gran Turismo. So it seems that, as the case is with a good film, the soundtrack to a game provides as much of the experience as any graphics.

Later on classical music has become more commonplace in games to promote an eerie or tense atmosphere. This is demonstrated well in Eidos Interactive’s title, Hitman 2. Throughout the game, classical pieces are used, which are specific to the place you are within the game. As games become more like film our attitudes toward them change. Indeed more and more they are becoming recognised as a new form of culture. Music in a game could swing the games status from mind numbing crap to a work of art.

The music industry is set to benefit from this relatively new medium. Artists being heard on games are able to promote their music directly at their target audience, 18-25 year olds, while collecting royalties from the sale of the game. The artist?s appearance also works as promotion for the game, meaning the two industries work well together. Music is also significant as far as determining the quality of a game. The soundtrack plays a very important role; similar to the way it works in film. However, there are of course, major differences between games and film. In fact it seems the music within a game is more important than it is in film, interacting with the players reactions and completing the full experience.

Over the next few years, consoles such as the Playstation 2 will start to integrate more in homes, becoming as common as items like video players or stereos. This new entertainment system encompassing audio-visual playing with multimedia capabilities will replace the need for such items. It is important therefore the music industry keeps up with this medium in order to continue benefiting from it.

How to Buy Portable GPS Car Navigation Systems

I was researching for a portable gps car navigation system
the other week because my job requires me to travel a lot in
different cities.

It was just practical for me to get a portable system that I
could carry around with me.

While most portable gps systems have basic functions such as
voice narrations to help direct you where to go, it’s worth
the time to figure out exactly what other features you may
need.

For example, there are some models which will tell you which
lane to be in so you can make turns in high traffic streets
more easily. This could come in handy if you’re traveling in
a congested city such as Chicago.

When considering the features that you want in your portable
gps navigation system, it’s important to consider if you’ll
actually be needing that feature or if it’s just an added
bonus.

Here are some things to consider:

Size of the GPS Unit

You can find pocket sized units which are very portable but
have small screen sizes. If you want a larger screen the
units will be less portable so make sure to consider how
you will use your unit.

Price of GPS Unit

Cost is always at the top of everyone’s minds when
it comes to technology purchases. As with anything,
you get what you pay for. Skimp on a low priced
unit and you may just end up with something that
functions half the time.

My brother-in-law spent $175 on a no-name brand
GPS unit and after using it to help him move across
the country, it took a permanent vacation.

You should also consider some of these other major
features:

Street name announcement -

Does the voice narration announce the name of
the street or does it just say next street?

Time to destination -

Will it calculate how long it will take you to
arrive at your destination? This feature is
invaluable when you want to know the closest
destination out of several choices.

Automatic rerouting -

If you make a wrong turn, does your navigation
system reroute you?

You’ll find a lot of choices when purchasing a portable
gps car navigation system. My suggestion would be to
figure out what options you would like, then find the
units which have those features and check the units
out physically at your local electronics store.

You can then go online to find the best deals for
your unit. Often times, I find the best deals online
after viewing the units in a store.

As with most technology, you will find that in a few
years there will be more GPS units with more features
for lower prices.

I’m very excited to see this technology develop.
