Electronics are becoming more compact as time continues to push forward. While we may have began with black and whites, that is certainly no longer the case. TVs not only upgraded to color, but the screen size increased as well. This is still common, but bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better. Sure you want high resolution and a good sized screen, but no one wants the bulk. Entertainment centers thrive on being compact.Whether you prefer them separate or enjoy a TV DVD combo, you have many to choose from. There are definite advantages to purchasing a TV DVD combo. One being the space they save. You no longer have to bother with two separate units. The DVD option is built right into the television. This feature is rather ideal for those trying to preserve space. You don’t have to worry about size, because TV DVD combos come in a range of screen sizes. You can even get those nice widescreens with a DVD feature added to the set. Talk about your complete packages.I first encountered the TV DVD combo when browsing through Sears. I wanted a TV for our bedroom, but my wife didn’t want it to be too overbearing. In … Read more

Sono molti i segreti che affollano Venezia, una città così antica e magica, che sembra il posto ideale per trovare dei fantasmi, soprattutto nel silenzio della sera, rotto solo dallo sciabordio dell’acqua.In mezzo alla massa di turisti che alloggiano in hotel Venezia che affolla piazza San Marco e i bellissimi palazzi circostanti, a nessuno verrebbe da pensare che tra questi palazzi così finemente decorati, questi luoghi così belli artisticamente ancora si possa avvertire la presenza e i ricordi delle molte persone che furono giustiziate proprio qui, accanto ad una colonna di Palazzo Ducale. Invece davanti ad altre due colonne, che giustappunto hanno un colore diverso dalle altre, erano lette le sentenze che poi venivano subito eseguite davanti alle prime due colonne. Questo rituale faceva sì che il condannato fosse obbligato a guardare direttamente l’orologio del campanile, in modo da sapere esattamente l’ora della propria morte, dopodiché era giustiziato.In effetti c’era una piccola possibilità di cavarsela, ma era talmente labile che nessuno ci è mai riuscito. Si trattava infatti di fare un giro completo attorno al basamento di una colonna del Palazzo, senza cadere. Per chi desidera dormire a Venezia e visitarla potrà tuttora notare quanto questo basamento sia consumato e … Read more

Your personal theme can be changed, just like you change the theme of your browser or your computer. Your theme is built from partly what you have experienced in your life, partly what you have been taught, and partly from you genetics. These are the recurrent attitudes you approach life with. That’s your theme.If you are worried constantly, “easy to anger”, take life with a “grain of salt”, are “always optimistic” about what is going to turn up – these are all life themes.You change them, like any habit, through substituting another habit for them. Yes, attitudes are habits. They are adopted by repetition.You can control any of your attitudes, and should. Just as you stand out if you are laughing at the wrong point in a theater or crying when everyone is jubilant around you at a football game, you attitudes should be appropriate for what is going on around you. This doesn’t mean you agree with everyone’s reactions – but you can decide whether you want to call attention to yourself.I covered this point of controlling your attitudes in my book “Go Thunk Yourself(TM)!” Re-programming your habits was covered in my “Go Thunk Yourself, S’more!”.Of course, I’m doing … Read more
