While it is not simple, there are … Continue Reading

Lafnac Digital Computers is where I first saw Heidi Montag — on TV.  She was so beautiful!  A blonde goddess for sure.  Too bad she’s a party girl, a party chick.  I kinda like party chicks, don’t get me wrong, but couldn’t someone be intelligent as well?  Such beauty, and yet it seems that there’s something very, well, not exactly ugly but certainly not pretty — something not-so-beautiful about them, these people, these beautiful people whose hedonism is of the basest most ignorant sort.  Hedonism can be spiritual, actually; it’d started out as a philosophy, a philosophical movement, even, … Continue Reading

It’s obvious from looking at their window display that On Off Digital World seems to have all the latest in consumer electronics, though their real bread and butter comes from selling to tourists some desperately needed photography equipment. Located in almost right in the middle of Manhattan, they get a lot of foot traffic from all the tourists who flock to The Big Apple day in/day out. The bottom line is that out-of-towners are not going to spend their time shopping around, and will simply pay just about any price necessary in order to get on with … Continue Reading

It’s amazing how more and more people can be found in modest swimsuits. These were not dour designs at all, but quite colorful and bright, yet they had sleeves that covered the elbows and trousers that covered the knees, with no plunge lines and only the neck exposed. What was so notable about them was that they were, in a sense, not demure at all. Is it better to stand out for the attractiveness of one’s apparel than for one’s body? On the other hand, the girls might respond that the focus is really on … Continue Reading

What’s so interesting about On Off Digital World to me is how it suggests a particular period of old New York. Well, the eighties, anyway. Back then you still needed a token board the subways, when pizza was a dollar a slice and comic books in the same neighborhood. Back then there was no Neflix and video on demand, a time when, in fact, cable was just trying to take off in terms of mass appeal. It was an innocent time, in a sense — a time when family-owned and run operations like Montgomery Ward … Continue Reading

The ancient Mongols have been caricatured as a bunch of short swarthy guys riding horses and living out of a camping tent while hacking their way worldwide, but the truth is relatively different.
Far different, in fact; for one thing, the ancient Mongols were most proficient with the bow and crossbow, though of course they also knew how to work a sword and ax like every other self-respecting marauder!

And that camping tent…isn’t.
These are yurts, which are like Native American tipis, only more spacious and likely even hardier, tougher, able to withstand the strong wind-swept steppes of … Continue Reading

The Mongolian yurt is no camping tent but a veritable mobile home – latch it to several horses as the locals do and you can almost call it an RV!
Yurts are much more complex than the Native teepee (also spelled “tipi” today) more acquainted to most Americans, but sometimes be set up in mere minutes: less than ten, typically – causing them to be similar to a camping tent in this regard!
They are bigger than teepees and house several bits of full-sized furniture, yet with adequate manpower (typically a family of ten or so individuals) they … Continue Reading

Going to enjoy the Great Outdoors?
Make sure to pack a backpacking tent or you may just regret it.
Mother Nature is no one to trick around with, and she can be quite unpredictable!
Thus, even if it is just a relatively short hike of at least half a day’s travel time, be sure to shoulder a lightweight backpacking tent, just in case (of storm or even worse).
This way, you will at least have shelter and not be completely subject to the elements.

Appears like common sense, right?
Yet many hikers take to the trails without so much … Continue Reading

Folks just don’t take adequate vacations. And when we do take getaways, we often take along our work. This behavior of taking work with you leaves us in the mindset of work. The same exact mindset we are striving to break free from. Getaways provide many benefits. For one it will help us avoid being overworked and burnt out. Aside from that it will allow us to always keep our stress ranges lower. A vacation might also help bring family members closer together. Any way you want to take a look at it, vacation trips get the job done. If … Continue Reading

A camping tent is a vital piece of equipment, even for mere day hikers, for there’s no telling when circumstances change and shelter becomes imperative! Mother Nature is notorious for being quite temperamental, after all; any forest ranger can talk about stories of stranded hikers who expected to spend no more than a few hours in the woods getting lost for several days due to such surprises as unforeseen inclement weather or misleading GPS routes.

But a camping tent that’s carried along for “insurance purposes” doesn’t have to be bulky, either. Today’s market features a wide variety of ultra-portable … Continue Reading

It’s interesting that kayak fishing only has recently become a popular sport, because hunting had historically been one of the general uses of a kayak by the Inuit who designed these boats. However fishing wasn’t something they did with kayaks, so it wasn’t until much later that sport fishing found kayaking.

As can be imagined, the most stable and comfortable of modern designs are used for kayak fishing. This requirement has lead to the introduction of such useful novelties as twin-hulled, or catamaran, kayaks, which are stable enough to support anglers standing upright. This is a extremely important advancement … Continue Reading

Talk about marble sculpture and most individuals are going to think about some thing like Italian marble statues, for example as Michelangelo’s David or Bernini’s Ecstasy of Saint Teresa. But some of the greatest works of marble are complete buildings themselves, such as India’s Taj Mahal in Agra, an ancient bustling city on the banks of the Yamuna in Uttar Pradesh.

First mentioned in the old Hindu epic the Mahabharata, where it was called Agrevana, or “the border of the forest,” today’s Agra is most famous for the Taj Mahal, Urdu for “crown of buildings.” It is a marble … Continue Reading

The Australian film industry is famous throughout the world for creating some of the most fascinating of cinema anywhere, as well as providing Hollywood with talent on both sides of the lens. Now we’re not talking Aussie entertainment of the sort that Zalman Silber provides with his Oztrek, mildly entertaining but nothing anyone’s not seen before. No, we’re talking stuff like the Skywalk in Sydney or The Edge in Melbourne – also Zalman Silber affairs – stuff that grabs you.

And so it is that not everything out of the Australian film business is a great piece … Continue Reading

Here’s a novel thing to do in New York as a tourist: personal training. Forget the tourist traps like Zalman Silber’s Skyride; if you want true heart-thumping excitement, how about hiring one of the many attractive personal fitness trainers available for a jog, swim, stretch, or bike-ride around town? Seriously, there’s no better way to take in the sights than in a manner a native might.

Thousands – no, hundreds of thousands – of New Yorkers exercise each day, whether specifically working out or otherwise enjoying a physically rigorous leisure activity. Why not you? It can … Continue Reading

Different ships of the New York City Staten Island Ferry service offer various kinds of boat seats. Some designs allow you to lay down flat almost as comfortably as on any other hard bench, while other types feature seats with what is supposed to be an ergonomic curvature that makes them unsuitable for laying down on.

Most times of the day, of course, a ferry’s boat seats wouldn’t be available for such a use anyway, seeing how packed New York rush-hours can be, even for transportation to the so-called “forgotten borough” of Staten Island.

Other times, however, particularly on the … Continue Reading

To be an “agent” ordinarily refers to commissioned sales, and selling is one of the most difficult jobs to be found anywhere – and anytime – but how about as a career? Most peopel would absolutely burn out, but the successful ones tend to move into more managerial sorts of positions, which explains how they are able to make an actual career out of sales. After all, it’s tough living on commission-only your whole life, especially at the lower end of things where one is doing showroom sales of items less than ten grand apiece!

Then there are the … Continue Reading

Unless you’ve got one of them portable Coleman Roadtrip grills, camping meals will most likely mean something like an MRE, or Meal, Ready-to-Eat. Originally created for the U.S. military, MREs are self-contained light-weight rations available in a wide range of flavors. They’re also made by other nations for their militaries, with all of the familiar flavors a local would expect!

For instance, MREs for South Korean troops feature such regional delicacies as kimchi, while Italians enjoy beef tortellini; Swedes and Norwegians get cod stew with sour cream and potato, and Poles make do with bogracz (beef goulash). And though soldiers … Continue Reading
