Happy 50th NASA!

July 29th, 2008

On this day, fifty years ago, President Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act. It was on that day America began its concerted quest to explore the unknown. NASA has helped us to “boldly go where no man has gone before.” We owe so much of our modern technology thanks to the research and exploration initiated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. We have GPS, satellite TV, foam mattresses, and advancements in technology - computers, medical imaging, nanotechnology, weather monitoring, and so much more - thanks to people willing to dedicate their careers and lives to exploring the space we live in.

Celebrating NASA’s 50th anniversary is commemorating fifty years of discovery, innovation and inspiration. To observe the occasion, there are many space and technology related events going on. Tonight is even NASA night at the Astros baseball game at home in Houston. For a full list of future events, check out their events calendar at: www.nasa.gov/50th/calendar

When Specialty Tribal Tattoos Matter

June 19th, 2008

There are times when an individual wants a tattoo of utmost and supreme quality, especially when it comes to intricate tribal tattoos. In these cases, it is often a good idea to opt for a tattoo artist that specializes in a certain type of art. While some artists specialize in designs, others specifically concentrate on faces, animals and even the colorization of tattoos. It is not uncommon for an individual to get a tattoo with a very reputable artist and then opt for another to do the color and shading. This ensures that an individual gets a very top quality tattoo that attracts admiration from even those who say they dislike tattoos.

Because of their symbolic importance, many look for such expertise when it comes to cross tattoos and religious tattoos. Though a cross can symbolize a religious affiliation, the vast majority of individuals that opt for this type of tattoo do so to memorialize lost love ones. When getting a tattoo in someone’s honor, there is no doubt a quality piece of artwork is to be expected. It is important that the final product be tasteful and well laid, in addition to symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
