Over recent years there has been a lot of interest in magic tricks, with the popularity of shows by David Copperfield and David Blaine an obvious indicator. But magic tricks dont have to be confined to the professionals - anyone can perform magic tricks. You just need to learn how the trick is done! Some tricks require you to master a number of special skills like the force (getting someone to take the card you want them to without them realising it) and the pass (swapping the top and bottom of a deck of cards without being seen). But the trick here doesnt require any special skills to learn. It just requires a little bit of preparation. This trick is known as The Lost Ace. After introducing a pack...

For years and years there really was no choices to make in TV viewing. You got the best TV you could afford and if you were going to do anything to get you anything beyond that you invested in a giant antennae that hopefully survived the wind up on your roof. Then cable came along and that was great! I remember all the channels that they offered and most of them were junk but they had lots of channels to choose from none the less. Over the years cable companies made some improvements in their programming but they were the only show in town and their customers really had nowhere else to go and they knew this. So the cable companies trundled along and their customers took what they got and this is how...

When you receive the Seal you will see climate change as the sign of the end-times. And you will be interested to hear of some of the ideas people have come up with to stop rising temperatures, each of which is unfortunately futile. Scientists say the only way to stop global warming is to cut emissions of carbon dioxode by 60 to 80 percent. This is simply not possible in today's world. Too few people are willing or even capable of giving up the luxuries of modern society now considered "necessities." Coal-fired power plants are responsible for most of the CO2 emissions in the world, and the US, China, and India plan to build 850 new coal-fired power plants by the year 2012. CO2 emissions have...

Some people find it hard to find the right perfume. This may smell good when this is sprayed into the air but this changes when this reacts with the skin. Those who are tired of this problem can stop looking and instead make one . The first step is to get all the materials together. A lot of people focus on the oils and the other liquids and forgetting the basics such as the test tubes, glass beakers and measuring cups. People should avoid using materials made of metal or plastic because these may alter the scent. Glass stir rods should also be used because this will allow the oils to mix better instead of just shaking it. Since the mixture has to be stored for two days before...

The first person Frank Ahearn ever disappeared was Ken. He spotted him at a Borders in north Jersey about three years ago - a pale, geeky-looking guy in a golf shirt and khakis, thumbing through a pile of books about Central America andoffshore banking. It took Frank about a half second to figure him out: Ken was skipping town. "I betcha you're going to buy a condo in Costa Rica," Frank said to the man, hisvoice low, so no one else could hear. "And bank in Belize." Ken's slackened mouth curled into a big dumb O that almost made Frank laugh. He looked at Frank - a tall, longhaired guy dressed in black with a cartoonish goatee, thick tattooed arms and a twisted and discolored front tooth - and fumbled...

The Boston Celtics are simply the hottest team in the NBA right now. Granted, they have Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to lead the onslaught. But, seriously they are playing really, really well. They are a balanced team, strong on both the offensive and defensive ends. So, I am asking myself, how long can they go without losing? The longest winning streak to start a season was recorded by the Houston Rockets and the Washington capitols in 1993 and 1948, respectively. It seams all too possible that the Celtics are within reach of that record. Currently, the Boston Celtics are 7-0. That is obviously a perfect record, but what is more impressive is how they got to that point. On average, the...

Those little 115v wire welders that you see at Lowes and Home Depot are selling like hotcakes. Home Depot seems to always stock the Lincoln Electric Weld Pak HD. And Lowes seems to always have the Lincoln Electric Pro Core 125 MIG/Flux-Corded Welder. Every time I visit Lowes or Home Depot, I cant help but notice that the welding supply shelves have grown like crazy in between my frequent visits. My theory is that cable TV shows like Orange County Choppers and Monster Garage and helped to bring welding and fabrication more into mainstream Americana and have even created quite a buzz around welding and fabrication. It seems like every red blooded American male with an ounce of testosterone in his...

Fireworks can be the most dangerous explosives and are best handled by trained professionals. It is hard to imagine the Fourth of July without fireworks. More people ignite simple or homemade fireworks each year than attend large-scale fireworks displays. But simple fireworks such as bottle rockets and sparklers are the most dangerous manufactured explosives. And M80 and M100 cherry bombs the most dangerous type of fireworks. According to the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC), approximately 7,000 people were treated for fireworks-related injuries in 1998. This number was down from an estimated 8,300 in 1997. But The National Council on Fireworks Safety says that each year there are...

Whenever I talk with people on the phone and they are trying to figure out where Palm Bay Florida is I always tell them, "You know, it's about 45 minutes south of the place where they launch the rockets" and they immediately know where I'm talking about. That's just one of the advantages of living on the Space Coast of Florida. There is hardly a person in the United States and very few in the world that don't at least have some knowledge of the Space Coast and where "the rockets" are launched from. Growing up as a kid in Brevard County it was a great privilege to be able to walk out into our back yard and watch the rocket launches that would take men to the moon and eventually the Shuttle launches...

This is the perfect entry-level scope. If you are pretty sure you are going to spend a fair amount of time with...

There currently are 24 operational satellites as part of the GPS satellite constellation, that orbit the earth with a orbital radius of ~16,000 miles (from the center of the earth). The satellite orbits are spaced out in 6 orbital planes (orbital plane is the plane surface formed by the path traced by the orbit of the satellite - it is nearly circular). The six orbital planes are separated by an angle of 60 degrees. Refer to the constellation figure below. Four to six satellites occupy each orbital plane. In addition to the 24 operational satellites, there currently are 6 satellites in orbit that are maintained as spares, should any of the 24 operational satellites malfunction. The six spare...
