Decorative Drapery Hardware 101
by: Kathy Iven
Drapery hardware is more than just a means to hang your draperies or curtains; it is also a decorative element for your home.
Decorative drapery hardware includes rods, finials, holdbacks, rings, and decorative brackets.
Decorative rods can also be traverse.
You want to consider the color, finish, and material of the rods.
Finials add the perfect touch of elegance, whimsy, humor, and finish to your beautiful window treatments.
All of these choices will affect the overall beauty and decorative theme and balance of your home.
Rod
Drapery rods are usually mounted 3? ? 4? above the window.
If you desire a layered look for your window, choose a double bracket that mounts one rod right in front of another.
You can also use a standard curtain rod with a small projection underneath a more decorative rod on the outside to achieve the same look.
Traverse Rod
A traverse rod is a rod with a mechanism by which attached draperies can be drawn with a pull cord.
A two-way traverse rod pulls the draperies to the left side and right side of the window.
A one-way traverse rod pulls the draperies to either the left or right side of the window.
Decorative traverse rods are used with top pleated draperies and pin hooks.
Finials
Finials can be considered window jewelry.
They give windows a wide range of looks.
Metal is more contemporary, while wood provides warmth and a more traditional feel.
You might even consider glass finials to complement sheer fabrics.
Holdbacks
Add another finishing touch to your window with holdbacks.
It?s a beautiful way to coordinate accessories.
Rings
Rings are an easy way to attach curtains to the pole.
They help panels slide along the rod easily while bringing decorative elements to the window.
Rings have either a clip that you clip onto the drapery or they come with an eyelet and you use a drapery pin through the eyelet to hang the draperies.
Decorative Brackets
Use decorative brackets as a bracket for wood or metal rods, as scarfholders or as decorative shelf brackets.
Other Uses for Decorative Drapery Hardware
? Use decorative brackets for towel rings in the bathroom.
? Use any combination of decorative rods to display tapestries or wall hangings.
? Use finials as holdbacks at sides of windows.
? Mount decorative finials across top of window and drape scarves across or loop tab tops on finials for an innovative look.
? Use metal holdbacks as decorative towel hooks in the bathroom.

LCD Projectors - The Jist
LCD Projectors - The Jist
by: Eli Aloisi
An LCD projector is a device utilized for displaying video images or data. They are the modern equivalent to the slide projector and overhead projector used in the past.
LCD (liquid crystal display) projectors usually contain three separate LCD glass panels, one each for the red, green, and blue components of the video signal. As light passes through the LCD panels, individual pixels can be opened to allow light to pass, or closed to block the light, as if each little pixel were fitted with a Venetian blind. This activity modulates the light and produces the image that is projected onto the screen.
With a lens that "projects" the image on any flat surface and does not require large "furniture" (like a big TV would), LCD projectors tend to be smaller and much more portable than older systems. The best image quality can be accomplished with a blank white or grey surface to project on, and for this...

Does Your Stock Investing Guru Have a Mail Order Ph.D.?
Does Your Stock Investing Guru Have a Mail Order Ph.D.?
by: Dr. Scott Brown, Ph.D.
Do you take a person?s credentials for granted?
Most people do!
For instance they don?t think twice when they hear about Marxism.
They take the concept seriously because they know that it was authored by Dr. Karl Marx.
What they don?t know is that ?Dr.? Marx was a womanizer who was too lazy to work his way through the higher educational institutions to earn his Ph.D. the honest way.
?Dr.? Marx received his ?doctorate? by mail order!
Unfortunately, for modern economics he had a gift for gab and was able to sell his ungrounded ramblings of economic reform that was nothing more than a confused projection of his inner rage at his own incompetence rather than ability as an economist.
Even back at the turn of the last century there were unscrupulous universities that accept nearly anybody who applies.
These...

Projector Buying Tips: The Best Projector Shopping Guide
by: Robert Thatcher
Technology has always been known to make people?s lives better. In fact, some surveys said that 8 out of 10 people who were interviewed showed significant representation of people who were relieved to have the best technology in their lives.
One of the primary reasons why technology is deemed as life?s enhancers is because it can unleash the limits set upon the rigidity of previous inventions.
This goes to show that with the new trend of technology, people can expect a better life because it provides a hundred and one ways of making the impossible doable.
Take for example the case of projectors. Before, projectors are known to be used in movie theaters and during business presentations or seminars.
But with the continuous technological advancement and development, projectors are now known to be used even at home. This is especially true to those who...

Where Do You Go When The Thrill Has Gone?
Where Do You Go When The Thrill Has Gone?
by: Sally Anderson
The gleam has gone out of the Axis on his desk. Even his pride in the Cannes Lion has waned. Jeff?s agency is on the shortlist for a blue-chip client they?ve been courting for years. Yet as he gazes out of his elevated office, across the silver harbour, his head throbs. His mouth feels dry. The thrill has gone.
Thousands of creatives, suits, planners, managers and directors live their lives focused on the next award, the newest client, the best campaign. We?re groomed and conditioned that way. But what happens when it stops being all there is? What happens when award winning ideas are replaced with questions? Life-altering, soul-splintering questions.
?We are trained in our society to live into, strive for, a future,? says Legacy Coach Sally Anderson. ?People seek validation in their self-worth through external goals. But what frequently happens is the goal never quite matches...
