In honor of Pro Bowl weekend I figured I would add some vids to the site to bid farewell to football until next year. While it is nearly impossible to put something together with all of the great NFL hits ... this guy did a great job. NFL's Greatest Hits Also, in honor of the Redskins' Sean Taylor I figured I would post the official tribute the Redskins did for him. I felt this was important

I'm wondering how many people are thinking about the history of the Bra. The different purposes are absolutely amazing! 2000BC it started with a corset, open in the front to the waist and leaving the breast uncovered. 500 years later, the Greeks began wearing bra-resembling garments, shoving the breasts upward and exposed the naked breasts from their clothing. 450BC-285 AD the Greeks wore a bodice but the breasts still exposed. Wearing corsets was prohibited at the time so they used "the Apodesme" which was a small band of material wrapped around the breast, for one functional reason - to prevent the breasts from moving when walking. The roman adopted the Apodesme, but called it different. They named it either "Fascia" which prevented the growth of the breast, or "Mamillare" which was used to conceal a large breast. From the 13th century short bodices were worn to flatten the breasts. Full Skirts were attached to raise the waistline to emphasize the stomach. Long full sl

At its simplest, a hat is any garment worn on the head, whether for practical purposes or for protection from sun, weather, or cold. Hats have been used in many ways throughout history. They have been ornamental, used to denote a specific social status, used for practical purposes, and worn for artistic reasons. The forms and kinds of hats have had almost as much variance.One of the oldest kinds of hats is the wide-brimmed straw hat. Probably worn to protect against the sun, these can easily be constructed by weaving straw, or by sewing straw braid in concentric circles. Because straw is readily available in agricultural areas, the straw hat probably followed almost as soon as humans started growing grain. It also has the advantage of being relatively easy to replace. Most of the earliest hats were probably worn for protective reasons. However, it also probably didn't take long before they became decorative or symbolic. In ancient Greece and Rome, the Phrygian cap, a kind of pointed,

After 1900, women's hats underwent a period of design known as "Edwardian," which accompanied the latest fashions of long skirts that fell to the feet of wearers. Just as the dresses flowed to the floor, hats of the time also aimed to swoop and encompass the head. During the early 1900s, it was not uncommon to spot elaborate brims and larger-than-life accents. Hairstyles of the time would

I was just thinking about all the travels that Pope John Paul II did... in the big ass jet, which is particularly worse than ground travel. ...the Pope is estimated to have traveled a total of over 700,000 miles including 110 international tours, the equivalent of having traveled 28 times around the world.This means that he could have gone to the moon 2.9306483 times...

The Aftermath of a Poor Credit HistoryBy: Ajeet KhuranaCredit records are rather fragile. The smallest mistake could cause them to shatter. That is why one must try to stay away from defaulting and running up huge debt. If you are in such a situation, take action now. Assuming you've managed to nip the problem in the bud and are slowly getting your finances back on track, there's always that uncomfortable moment when your previous credit record can crop up. Now, this might not cripple you. However, credit ratings are delicate things. If somehow, your credit scores have become adverse, you are going to have to work very hard at bettering them.The good news is, even if you do have a less than sparkling record, you should still have enough opportunities to clear your name and get back on track for having no problem applying for credit cards in the future. If you want to get your credit scores back on track, you will have to find a way to repay all the debts that you owe. A poor credit h

My personal review:If you are a fan of Japanese RPGs just like Final Fantasy, then this is the game for you! Everything you do and see on this game is just like any other famous RPG that has a more famous game. In fact, this game can be quite as entertaining as any other that is far more famous than it! The graphics are really good and the gameplay is not very original but does it job with distinction! I bet that you will be playing this game in every free second that you have after school or after leaving your job... It's amazing how you can feel attached to a game and this game brings that concept to the scene and to the maximum... Just enjoy this masterpiece! =DYou can download it here:http://rapidshare.com/files/82615859/Brave_Story__ISO_.rar.0http://rapidshare.com/files/82618650/Brave_Story__ISO_.rar.1

Indonesia’s former dictator, Soeharto lies near death but an honest story concerning how he ruled has yet to be told young people. At the National History Museum, which he founded, Soeharto is portrayed as a symbol of strength and benevolence during the nation’s early yers for survival. No mention is made in presenting information about the past such as the bloody so-called “rebelion” of 1965 which led to the death of between 500,000 to 21 million people based on which source is providing the data. Soeharto cracked down severely on an alleged “communist” coup which also resulted in the death of seven generals. There is no mention of student protests in 1966 or 1974, 1978 or 1998. Many Indonesian educators would like to see new textbooks which present a more balanced view of the Soeharto era, but that entire episode, at present, remains hidden in the murky waters of political correctness. In essence, Indonesia prefers history taught from the top down

Photo from GeekPhilosopherThe Ice Cream Sundae - It's History by Scott ByersOne of the most famous ice cream desserts would have to be the ice cream sundae. Next to the banana split, it is one of the most served ice cream desserts in the United States. A Sundae is just a bowl filled with ice cream and then topped with some type of sauce or syrup. The most common types of sundaes are chocolate caramel, butterscotch, or strawberry. Other toppings are placed on a sundae, but are not part of the orginal makeup. In fact, nuts, dairy cream, and cherries are just an addition to the wonder sundae.A sundae is called a sundae because most local laws band Ice Cream sodas to be made on Sunday, so this treat was made to be eaten on a Sunday. It was stated that ice cream sodas were too “sinful” and the sundae is just perfect a Sunday afternoon. The sundae is perfect because it wasn’t too indulging. It’s just one scoop of icecream with a little sweet topping. The spelling came from an old my
