Daylight Saving Time and Your Gadgets.

Here it’s Time Again For Another Time Change

Last year (2010) was the first time in 20 years that new days were established for changing to Daylight Saving Time. Chances are you survived last year’s change to Daylight Saving Time on March 11th and then back to Standard Time in November. The real problem is unless your device was upgraded to use the new dates your clocks will not change automatically on the right day this year, the second Sunday in March (March 9, 2008) and your clocks may then mistakenly try and adjust the clock on the old date which was the first Sunday in April (April 6, 2008).

Using a Retrevo to Set Your Clocks
Although here some of your gadgets can get time updates over the airwaves or cable most will require manual setting.

The Cell Phone: Today's Technological Wonder

The recent cellular phone has modernized exceptionally since it first came out. When they were first introduced, many years ago, cell phones were applied as exclusively a way to make and receive calls. Things have altered over the years and so have cell phones.

Presently, Now cellular phones are conclusive technological revolutions. Everyday a new cell phone comes out that has some new feature that flat out transforms the way people utilize their phones. What started out as just a tool for making calls has now transformed into something far beyond that and into a tool with more funtionalities than you can shake a stick at.

Home Theatre Seating

Are you here surprised to see that this subject has a topic of its own? That is because after someone spends the big bucks to get a very nice home theatre system, the aspect of home theatre seating is usually last on their minds. But it should not be. Proper seating is critical to the ultimate enjoyment of your home theatre investment.

Make sure you don't make this kind of  same mistake. Yes, you need to plan for the type of screen you want from the myriad of choices, where to place it, what kind of surround sound system to get for it, where to put the speakers, what options to get with the receiver and amplifer ... but plan for the home theatre seating too. Unless you have a gym-sized room and plan to watch your big screen TV with the entire football team and cheerleading squad, you probably don't want (or can afford) a few dozen Barco loungers in your viewing area. At the same time, you don't want to use plastic folding chairs, since your viewing audience will likely not make it through the opening credits of the movie before they start to get uncomfortable.

The Effects Global Warming May Have On Our Planet

While many of us realize that global warming is occurring on our planet, few understand the implications that this may have on our way of life. These rising global temperatures are going to cause a host of changes on our planet, and we need to act now or prepare to adjust to some very profound changes.

First, these rising in temperatures present a huge threat to our ice-caps. Layers of ice that have not melted for thousands of years are beginning to break apart and fall into the ocean. One of the biggest ice sheets on the planet, located on Greenland, is at a great risk of splitting apart and falling into the ocean. While it doesn't sound like too big of a deal, the loss of the Greenland ice sheet will cause catastrophic circumstances world wide. The world's sea level is expected to rise as much as 23 feet when the sheet falls, and that spells disaster for the coastal cities that represent some of the largest and most important centers of trade and commerce across the planet. 

Manhattan would be sunk; much of Florida would be underwater, and that's not even to mention the worldwide consequences.
