When someone tries to unlock a device, Android presents a grid of nine nodes and asks the person to swipe over these nodes to enter a preset pattern. If the person enters the pattern correctly, the device gets unlocked. A lot of mobile phone owners prefer pattern based locking because it is easier to enter a pattern. You can enter a pattern in one swipe, whereas in case of number based password, you need to tap several times....

Should get reversed like This can easily be done using a VB Script executed on the MS-Word document. But my friend is not a computer programmer –so I did not want to give him such a nerdy suggestion. Therefore, I thought a bit and came up with another neat solution that can also be used by not-so-tech-savvy folks. Here is how you can reverse huge lists in MS-Word. It is easiest to reverse lists that have numbers instead of bullets (not that the bulleted list are any more difficult to handle –you’ll see!...

I want to make it clear that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with using fine yarns and threads for crochet. In fact, I highly recommend it—just not if you’re in a hurry to get a particular project finished. One of the greatest disadvantages of using fine yarn and thread: the projects grow slowly. It’s completely normal, and expected, for a thread crochet project to take a substantial amount of time. For quicker projects, in the future, try starting with patterns that specify thicker yarns—at least worsted weight yarn, maybe even bulky or super bulky weight yarn, depending on the project....

History of the American Silver Eagle The American Silver Eagle is part of the bullion coin program created by the United States Treasury Department and executed by the United States Mint beginning in 1986. However, the history of the American Silver Eagle starts all the way back in 1933. That is when President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6102, which forbade the hoarding of gold in the United States. The Gold Reserved Act of 1934 changed the official price of gold from $20....
The lovable, adorable Shirley Temple was a symbol of hope during the dark, despair-filled days during the Great Depression. The child actress had a stream of No. 1 box office hits in the 1930s. In October 1934, Ideal Toy Corporation applied for a patent, and the Shirley Temple doll was officially announced in an issue of the retail industry magazine “Playthings.” Shirley Temple dolls come in many varieties, but the most popular and lasting version has been the composition doll, first made when Shirley Temple was a star....

The benefits of a thick paper backing are that this type of material is inexpensive and easy to find at craft stores—and in a wide variety of interesting colors and patterns! It is easy to cut and shape to your project. However, there are several negatives with a card stock foundation. They don’t hold up well over time and can disintegrate if they become wet. They are also not suitable for very dense stitched projects where the stitches may be close together, causing the paper area between stitches to rip....
Pottery expert David Rago identified the vase as “a seriously, seriously good piece of Overbeck.” He went on to share that the vase was made by Overbeck Pottery of Indiana, a company comprised of four sisters. They marked their pieces OBK, as found on the bottom of this example. Rago estimated that the vase would sell for $50,000 to $100,000 at auction, should the owner decide to sell. This document, referenced as a Holt Broadside, was published in Manhattan by John Holt on July 9, 1776....
Oils + Lye (With Some Water) = Soap + Glycerin What many people call glycerin soap is actually transparent soap. It is real soap too…it just goes through a hot process where sugar and alcohol are added as “solvents” to keep the soap crystals from becoming opaque. Without this crystallization, the soap remains clear. You could take any of your soap recipes and adjust the process to make them transparent. (Naturally, some recipes will work better than others, but that’s basically the case....
Ribbon Yarn What we often call ribbon yarn today, came onto the scene in the early 2000s.

It can be found in solids and variegated colors from numerous manufacturers....
