Baby Room Ideas Worth Knowing

September 13, 2007 By PW Editorial Team

Decorating your first nursery can be a fun, but daunting experience. Picking out your theme and color scheme is always exciting, but we often overlook the most important part of decorating – our child’s safety.

All of the safety devices available on the market often confuse many first time parents today. Baby proofing can become a scary and sometimes expensive task. If you feel that you are overwhelmed, there are child safety experts you can hire to come to your home, inspect it, and tell you their recommendations of what should be removed, locked up and replaced.

September 11th and Love

September 10, 2007 By PW Editorial Team

Today I was in the post office, hurrying to mail off my books to Amazon. I was annoyed at the long line, and slow service. My anxiety heightened, and annoyance set in, until two little angels, disguised as young boys, crossed my path. 

One of them, 14 months old, with wild red hair, a Latin accent, and a cleft chin said, ”Hi!”, emphatically with a gleam in his beautiful blue eyes.

He laughed, as another one nearby heard the exchange and joined in. “What’s your name”, he asked? 

I told him and he worked hard to pronounce, Sally. He giggled and told me that he had an older brother, named Thomas. His eyes lit up as he told me all about him. 

Then he turned to the little angel (boy), and said, “Would you like a hug?” The little one said, “Yes”, and the two of them engaged.

Early rising no good for the heart: study

September 6, 2007 By PW Editorial Team

Generations have praised the wisdom of getting up early in the morning, but a Japanese study says early-risers are actually at a higher risk of developing heart problems.
The study, conducted by researchers from several universities and hospitals in the western Japanese city of Kyoto, revealed a link between wake-up times and a person’s cardiovascular condition.

"Rising early to go to work or exercise might not be beneficial to health, but rather a risk for vascular diseases," said an abstract of the study.

The study, covering 3,017 healthy adults aged between 23 through 90, found that early risers had a greater risk of heart conditions including hypertension and of having strokes.

Teaching your child about our universe couldn’t be easier with Celestia. It’s more fun and interesting than books, of course.

Celestia is a free 3D space simulation application that lets you explore our universe. Celestia is a PC-based program created by Chris Laurel. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. This amazing software allows you to tour the solar system, explore planets, and beyond. It claims that you can travel to any of over 100,000 stars.

You can set the time speed. 10 times faster, 10 times slower or even freeze the time. You can zoom in and zoom out by scrolling the mouse.

You can have a tour guide or demo if you are lazy to navigate. Don’t know the name of a planet? No problem. Just click on the planet and the name will appear.

The pictures look like real and the navigation is very smooth.

That’s not all.
