The modern day lifestyle is giving in to smaller nuclear families, with both parents working to make ends meet more comfortably. Even if one of the parent is non-working, the need to get away for sometime is pervasive and understandably so. The good old days are also gone when children used to play in group as families used to be joint and/ or had many children. Now parents are increasingly having a single child only. Under the circumstances, online computer games offer immense help as an effective baby sitter who not only makes a child sit at one place, but also enhances his/ her mental faculties and reflexes.

The computer games invariably render the young children technology savvy as they get interested into computers because of the games to start with. This sort of transforms a class lesson into a road to entertainment that is traveled with keen interest and sincerity. The familiarity with computers gradually developed into thorough knowledge and eventually attained a unique comfort level with computer technology and topics of relevance. It is always a matter of initiative with children. The first few steps into a subject render them confident and comfortable in the subject forever!

Online games relieve the parents to worry about the fellow children who can play with their child. The single child families are specifically benefitted as they do not have to rely on another child from neighborhood or otherwise, to join in and enrich the play for their child. They do not have to engage a baby sitter either, whose duties are generally to look after the safety of the child as he/ she does not sit at one place.

Flasks: Make Great Gifts And Movie Props

Imagine this set-up in a comedy film: two men are trapped under a sewer because of some freak accident. It was just coincidence that the other character in the story has a flask with him. As the scene goes on, the two tough characters began to tell each other their life stories taking turns at a swig from the flask. After sometime, the alcoholic beverage in the flask begins to kick-in that as they go on with their stories, one of them begins to break-out and cry, which is a really funny scene.

That movie is I-Spy starring Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson. In the movie, the flask is subliminally guiding the attention of the movie-goers, while it can also act as a cue for the actor that he is about to speak his script lines. Flasks make great props in movie scenes where there is a conversation between two or three actors. This strategy has been used a number of times in Hollywood films.

Off reel, flasks, especially hip flasks, were restricted to gentlemen or people with noble birth during the old days, although, it is not so surprising to discover women with tucked flasks in their garter belts as well. It is always filled with liquor and is supposed to keep the body warm during the biting cold of winter. This use for the hip flask definitely stuck with us until today that having a hip flask tucked into ones trousers or jeans makes one look like an alcoholic. 

Today, a flask is considered as an interesting and valuable gift. It is in fact ironic that an item filled with alcohol can  also be managed to be a symbol of elegance and style. For instance, in the movie Spy Game, starring Robert Redford and Brad Pitt, the latter gave the former a flask as a gift. In the movie, the flask, old yet priceless, symbolizes the apprentice's trust, loyalty and reverence to his mentor. On the other hand, when the mentor sees the gift after he had tucked it away for so long, he realizes the meaning behind the gift and is thus propelled to act in aid of his apprentice in distress.

It is either from the sheer polish of silver or its colorful use in the movie industry that propelled the flask to popularity. You can check at any souvenir stores and you may find one or two flasks for sale. Try to look a glass lining inside to see if you have chosen a quality flask. A flask with a glass lining protects the metallic taste from mixing with the drink.

Whatever the reason behind its fame, a flask is definitely a gift that is welcomed by anyone, alcoholic or not. If MTV ever had the coolest accessory in a movie film award, it had to be a flask. No other item can handle itself better in a scene than a flask. The only problem is who will accept the award?

Then you cannot switch between games, play game after game for hours together and no money constraint to worry about or no waiting for your turn or no saturation of pocket money after the end of the day.

Can you imagine yourself playing at a game arcade right away after getting out of bed in your night pyjamas?

Flamboyant Rock Band Frontmen - Part 1

One of the greatest yet most realistic clich้s of the proverbial rock band would be the colourful and extroverted singer. Often the livewire of the band, the frontman screams and shouts, swinging his microphone as the struts on stage as the other members of the band stand motionless in the shadows behind him.

The band, the stage, the arena, the crowd - they all obey the frontman; this is his kingdom, and he calls the shots as he sees fit.

Frontmen also help establish the stage presence and overall aura of a band; and it would be disastrous for a band to have a talented vocalist who lacks the people skills required to lead the band into a rock show night in and night out. It's their duty to not only carry out a shining vocal performance for the band's songs, but to also be the middleman between the crowd and the band, bridging the gap between mortal men and rock superstars.

Let's take a look at some of the greatest livewire singers rock music has ever seen.

1) Robert Plant

Fabulously fashionable with equally fabulous looks and vocal proficiency, Plant was probably rock's greatest frontman. He made his fame and fortune with British rock legends Led Zeppelin, and played a vital role in helping the band sell their 300 million albums worldwide.

Robert Plant, alongside guitarist Jimmy Page, were the dynamic duo of the band; and with their flare jeans and chest-baring shirts they captured the hearts and minds of millions over the world. Their chemistry on stage, coupled with the raw energy from the rhythm section of John Paul Jones and John Bonham, cemented Led Zeppelin's place in the annals of rock history.

Plant's admirable vocal prowess allowed him to add another dimension of mystique and charm to the band's emotionally-charged tunes, and his trademark stage presence and energy was unparalleled at the time. He can be heard doing what he does best on such Led Zeppelin hits like Stairway To Heaven, Whole Lotta Love and Black Dog.

The tragic death of their drummer John Bonham marked the heartbreaking end of their touring years but Plant will always be remembered as the voice and face of Led Zeppelin.

2) Axl Rose

With Axl Rose, it's a love or hate affair. He was the original vocalist of Guns 'N Roses and only remaining original member left in the new lineup touring today.

Rose shot to fame (pun intended) during the illustrious years of the band in the early 90s - especially after the release of their landmark album Appetite For Destruction - and helped bring immense commercial success to the band with his soulful and energetic singing in songs like Welcome To The Jungle, Paradise City and Sweet Child O'Mine.

It was not all fine and dandy for Rose, though. His temperamental attitude got him and the rest of the band in hot soup in trouble several times, and was probably the reason why all the other members of the band started quitting Guns 'N Roses one by one.

Rose has landed the band in hot soup numerous times, but one infamous incident involving a fan who was videotaping a Guns show allowed the world to see Rose rear his ugliest head yet. He was also criticized by gay rights activists, who accused Rose of being disseminating anti-gay propaganda.

Fans of the band will never forgive Rose for not allowing the name of their beloved band to rest in peace after having "created" a preposterous Guns 'N Roses alternate with a forgettable lineup. Not only that, Rose is entirely responsible for the band's most expensive album never released, entitled Chinese Democracy - which has swallowed over $13 million in production costs over the course of several years, and with no release date in sight. To make matters worse, Rose has said many times previously that the album will be out soon - but with most of the fairly-forgettable material readily available on the internet it's no surprise that the album will not revive the bands seemingly futile existence.

Even though Rose allowed his personal turbulences get the better of him, he will be remembered as one of the most unique rock 'n roll voices of the 90s.


Fixing A Metal Plate To Candlesticks

Fix the base in the turn with the stick to cross in octagon, stick it to the base by using a piece of finger. While this dries is a good time to manufacture a plate before special holding the base in the turn. The tail stock holds the end of the stick. My plate before made on order started by an aluminum 3" dish (6). I screwed a piece of 1" - the thick hard maple which had been cut" the circle to 3 with him and to the bottom turned him with just more than 3" of diameter beside the 3 below metal plate and right" on the other end. To drill one 3/16" hole in the center while the front plate is still assembled on the headstock. To cut a piece of 3/16" - the steel stem of diameter approximately to 1 ".

Throw in the pressure and the file of drill or to rectify the end at a very pointed point while the stem turns. To stick this stem in the hole in the plate before so that only 1/8" to 5/32" of the point is proud surface. The metal plate I employed has two sets of holes of support. I was accustomed to the external holes to screw the dish with the face out of wooden.. I drilled holes by the face out of wooden by the interior whole of holes of support. Then I ran 1 "the screws length of head of pan by the latter hole so that the points of the screws exceeded 3/32" or less beyond the surface of the face out of wooden (7). If your screws are too long, to use the discs to adjust them so that very little point shows.

The needle stem, which should further exceed that the screws, and these four screws act a center of tooth just like. It takes a little crushing with a mallet to assemble the white to the front plate. But you do not want to hammer directly on of metal plate; you'll want to employ a piece of fall to protect it.
