15 new uses for tea on Shine By Steve Graham, Hometalk More from Guest Bloggers blog (Photo: jerka/stock.xchng) I get through the sleepless days of being a stay-at-home dad, freelance writer, and DIY remodeler with copious quantities of tea.

Hiding the Lockheed Plant during World War II - wow this is amazing! - StumbleUpon Hidden in Plain View During WW II Lockheed (unbelievable 1940s pictures). This is a version of special effects during the 1940's. I have never seen these pictures or knew that we had gone this far to protect ourselves. During World War II the Army Corps of Engineers needed to hide the Lockheed Burbank Aircraft Plant to protect it from a possible Japanese air attack. They covered it with camouflage netting to make it look like a rural subdivision from the air. Before... After.. The person I received this from said she got back an interesting story about someone's mother who worked at Lockheed, and she as a younger child, remembers all this. Another person who lived in the area talked about as being a boy, watching it all be set up like a movie studio production. Note.... I am 85 and had much of my pilot training in Calif. Hiding the Lockheed Plant during World War II - wow this is amazing! Please visit stories, etc. for more pictures, stories, etc.
Occupations Remarkably adaptable to changing conditions in different countries, Gypsies are vesatile and earn their living by various means. Generally, there have been two conditions that a job must meet before it will be of interest to a gypsy. The first is it must allow the gypsy free travel. Most Gypsies are peddlers selling what they have bought cheaply or selling what they have made themselves. Generally Gypsy occupations are divided by sex. One area in which the Gypsy has traditionally excelled is that of metalwork. Gypsies have not only been master metalworkers, but they have also shown great ingenuity in devising relatively light equipment such as forges and hammers. Horse-trading has long been a Gypsy affinity and a way of life. Gypsies make a specialty of attending horse fairs as they are major occasions in their lives. Next to the horse the animal the Gypsies have shown great interest in is the bear. Gypsies are also noted as entertainers, especially as musicians and dancers. Oracles
» How I Was Able to Ace Exams Without Studying Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Scott Young of ScottYoung.com. In high school, I rarely studied. Despite that, I graduated second in my class. In university, I generally studied less than an hour or two before major exams. However, over four years, my GPA always sat between an A and an A+. Recently I had to write a law exam worth 100% of my final grade. Right now, I’m guessing most of you think I’m just an arrogant jerk. Why do Some People Learn Quickly? The fact is most of my feats are relatively mundane. The story isn’t about how great I am (I’m certainly not) or even about the fantastic accomplishments of other learners. It’s this different strategy, not just blind luck and arrogance, that separates rapid learners from those who struggle. Most sources say that the difference in IQ scores across a group is roughly half genes and half environment. Rote memorization is based on the theory that if you look at information enough times it will magically be stored inside your head. 1.
