Sex, Dating, Breathing, Water, Sleep - Abraham Maslow got it right?

March 25th, 2009

If Abraham Maslow hierarchy of human needs is taken apart and analysed, you will see that part of the human experience we would not have ranked so highly such as sex and friendship are actually crucial to too our needs (notice the emphasis on need rather than wants). Maslow ranks our Psychological needs as follows:
Breathing
Homeostasis
Water
Sleep
Food
Excretion
Sex
Notice that all the items that precedes Sex are extremely vital, we cannot live without them. On his list of our social needs, friendship, intimacy and supportive family/friends are next. Perhaps the needs Abraham Maslow so beautifully identified are the reason why Online Dating is one of the fastest growth areas on the Internet today.

In spite of its huge popularity and exponential growth, online dating has not taken a significant portion of the dating scene or render some of the old ways people meet extinct. The tried and tested way of meeting such as being introduced by friends or family, dating a friend of a friend and good old fashion chatting a man or a woman up at a disco still exist and are thriving, its just that this forms of meeting are now enhanced by Internet dating, as potential dating partners first meet one another online, arrange to meet in real live and then take things from there.

Internet dating has however introduced some very new languages, concepts and ideas to the dating game which did not exist before the Internet dating scene arrived. One such new concept is speed dating. Speed dating does what it says on the tin, instead of the prolonged drawn our dating courtship rituals, men and women who have been pre screened to ensure compatibility and mutual interested and invited to a gathering where they are encouraged to interact and hopefully leave the venue as a couple.

Other newly finagled concept Internet dating brought to the dating scene included chatting online using instant messenger, video messages and other technology powered communication means to get acquainted with the object of your desire before actually meeting.

Of all the new things Internet dating brought to dating in general, perhaps the most interesting and radical one was making distance, geographic proximity less important by bringing people who live hundreds of mile apart who would never have meet left to the old factors that used to bring people together but thanks to Internet dating, more and more people hundreds or miles apart are now able to date.

There are hundreds of dating sites online today, most of then specialise in a particular niche, one of the most interesting one that targets Singles in London UK is a site called Come Get Me. It boast of thousands of singles from all walks of life. If you may want to check the site out next time you are looking for a date.

Planning Summer Camping? - here is your sleeping bag guide

March 23rd, 2009

After a long day reaching your destination, nothing beats the feeling of snuggling into a warm, comfy sleeping bag, ready for a good nights sleep in preparation (and anticipation) for a new day. Having the right sleeping bag can be the difference between waking up refreshed and ready for another great day and not sleeping at all. Here we give useful advice and tips to help you choose the best bag for a good nights sleep.

Basic tips on purchasing a new sleeping bag

Decide what the lowest temperature is that you are likely to encounter. Choose a bag that will perform to this temperature.
Synthetic bags tend to be cheaper and easier to clean than down bags. They also provide reasonable insulation when wet and dry out more quickly than down bags.
Down bags provide the best warmth to weight ratio, compress smaller and will last longer than synthetic bags.
A mummy shaped bag will provide the most efficient insulation compared to a rectangular bag which will give more space to move around in (but also to heat up).
A sleeping bag is no good if you don’t have insulation from the ground; use a suitable mat to get the most from your bag.

Basic knowlege of how a sleeping bag works
Sleeping bags work by trapping air within the bag itself.
Your body is the heat generator for this insulation system and is able to create extra heat for warming up the environment around you.

There are many technical bags with features that aim to help retain this extra heat and therefore reduce the work for your body.
Choosing a suitable sleeping bag is the most essential piece of kit when camping, hiking, trekking.

Adjustable multi purpose folding tray table

January 21st, 2009

The multi purpose tray table is the smallest in the officestar range and is the perfect table with its eight different height setting.
I’m sure we’ve all be there. We need some extra table space in the kitchen, for example,when making a big meal for lots of people. Or sometimes, we are working on a hobby, a model airplane, perhaps, and we need some extra space.
And finally, there’s the TV dinner scenario. This table is perfect for that’s a lap table.
But I believe that my table is far and away better than the others. For a start these tables come with a TEN YEAR GUARANTEE.
It has EIGHT DIFFERENT HEIGHT SETTINGS. Not three, not five, but EIGHT. Other tray tables don’t offer that. So, when you have children around, or if you’re disabled, and need a special height, then this will be perfect.
The tabletop is made of a special plastic resin, which is super strong, easy to clean and perfectly smooth. no ridges or bumps!
The metal framework is  powdered coated tubular steel, which is thicker and stronger than the others being offered around.
Overall, the engineering is just a little bit better, in my opinion, and I have loads of customers who are enjoying this table and they will agree.

You can buy this product at camping online on the adjustable tray table page

Most people seem to spend a considerable amount of time slumped in front of computer or TV while the young one are glued to their Xbox and playstation consoles.  Simple exercise such doing a bit of gardening, walking, taking stairs instead of the lift goes a long way to keep us healthy.

The truth is, there are simply some things that money can’t buy. Decent search results shouldn’t be one of them.

Search engines can bring a wealth of information to the most remote locations and with an ease of use that is unsurpassed. Although, in many situations, a search engine is a great tool. They offer incredible tools to ease in the daily task of searching through billions of records.

The trouble is, even the best search engins cannot find accurate results.

Search engines sift through literally ten’s of thousands of web pages daily in order to offer search results to internet users using sophisticated technologies that filter the results based on a mathematical algorithm. While this might be an effective way of finding exactly what you are looking for, there is no way for a search engine to properly identify spam and irrelevent sites.
