What’s the ideal rock climbing outfit? The short answer is whatever you feel comfortable wearing. That said, most climbers carefully pick out their climbing clothes before venturing out to the cliffs and boulders. What you wear depends on several variables, including: The weather: What season is it? What’s the weather forecast? Is it hot? Is there a chance of rain? The climbing area: What kind of route are you doing? Is it a crack climb?...
I have always been a thrifty kind of girl. I grew up happily shopping at Goodwill, garage sales and from the clearance rack. When I started selling baby shoes at Nordstrom back in college, I was shocked at how expensive they could be. $70 for a pair of shoes a kid is going to wear for six months? That just seemed insane. In my humble opinion, it is a bit insane to throw down that kind of money on a pair of shoes, especially because it’s entirely possible to get a great, quality pair of shoes without spending a fortune....

Criminology is a relatively new field, having developed from the broader study of sociology in the 19th and 20th centuries. Though the job of a criminologist is new, society in general, and philosophers, clergy and community leaders in particular, have been studying and learning how to deal with crime throughout human history. Even though it may not hold the same glamor and excitement of other jobs in criminal justice, a career as a criminologist is no less important....
Kids can be green too. In fact, once kids get on the green bandwagon, good luck getting off!

For years I would stand before the makeup counters at department stores and stare befuddled at the lipsticks. To me they looked like the entire U.S. Marine Corps standing at attention — they were all so darn cute, how was I to pick the perfect lipstick shade for me? Turns out picking the right shade of lipsticks or lip gloss isn’t so complicated, after all. Of course it would take me 15 years of buying the wrong shades of lip color to find this out....
Pool balls should be a few obvious things, shouldn’t they? The same size in a set, the same shape, and certainly the same from table to table throughout the same poolroom. Pool ball weights should be the same set-to-set and of course, within the same set. But often they aren’t.

Coin-operated tables rely on magnetic cue balls or even different weighted or different sized cue balls....

“Toe hang” is a quality of toe-balanced putters. The clubface of a toe-balanced putter will, when the shaft of the putter is balanced lengthwise across a golfer’s finger, be angled toward the ground. In other words, the toe of such a putter will hang down, pointing toward the ground. What Toe Hang Tells You About a Putter The more toe hang a toe-balanced putter has, the more the clubface will open and close during an arcing putting stroke (also known as an inside-to-inside or swinging gate putting stroke)....
