My elderly neighbor likes to kayak, but she can't lift the kayak onto the top of her Subaru. While the Subaru isn't tall, it's too tall for her. She has to depend on someone else. So far, the only thing I can find for her is a very expensive rack lifter elevator from Thule. I should think...

Frankly, it creeps me out that once-were 3rd world-like countries are now doing all the manufacturing tasks that we so invented and performed. And now, we want to sell the world that we are the brains, and they can pay us for our brains, while they slave away and make things for us? Can't you...

I ran onto this while searching for information on Nikken products. It seems to me to be a renaming of an ordinary process in order to sell something. Am I in error? http://www.earthtym.net/ref-far-infared.htm This is just one site of many that will come up with a search for Far Infrared...

More fun from my home town newspaper . . . "Interesting" article about advancements in medical technology. Bizarrely, the main focus is on a new device used by chiropractors. Anyone have any thoughts on whether this is potentially helpful or just high tech snake oil? New Technology Sounds...
