When I look straight ahead over the top of the monitor, I see:

A beige wall needing a new paint job
A basic round wall clock
A digital thermometer/hygrometer (humidity)
A certificate saying that I am a Citizen of Margaritaville with the genuine reproduced signature of Mayor Jimmy Buffett

And you? Anything interesting directly in front of you?
Thanks for contributing to the sampling for my poll. lol

Besides money what’s a good wedding gift?

April 7th, 2009
Praying asked:


It’s for very close friends of ours. The bride always has said that money is an easy way out for gifts and there isn’t anything left on their registries from the showers. We want to spend about $200. She gave us a Howard Miller wall clock for our wedding. So I kinda was thinking of getting them something like that that they can keep forever.

Seiko Wall Clocks Have a Long History

April 5th, 2009

Muna wa Wanjiru asked: 3d порно


Seiko wall clocks have a long history, dating back as far as 1881, when the Seikosha brand was first introduced by a clock shop in Tokyo’s fabled Ginza District, laying the foundation for modern clock and watch making in Japan. This store, established under the name of K. Hattori & Co. Ltd, is the direct ancestor of today’s Seiko Corporation.

Eleven years later, in 1892, Kintaro Hattori establishes a clock factory at Ishiwara-cho, Tokyo, with ten workers under his employment. Two months later, the first dozen clocks are produced, the predecessors of today’s Seiko wall clocks. In 1895 the production of pocket watches begins.

In 1913, after two decades of clock technology, production began on the first Japanese wristwatch - Laurel - which was made under the Seikosha name. Mass production techniques were adopted to supply Europe and America and a year later - in 1924 - the Seiko brand is born, and the first wristwatch bearing the Seiko name is made.

By 1938, Seiko had produced 1,179,639 watches, and many more Seiko alarm clocks, Seiko table clocks, Seiko wall clocks and Seiko musical clocks. The company was listed on the Tokyo stock exchange eleven years later, in 1949.

Although the first quartz-based clock became popular for wide use in 1958, and transistorized table clocks had existed as early as 1959, the first quartz-based Seiko wall clocks weren’t introduced until 1968. A year later Seiko pioneered true mass production and automation. This change allowed for a quick adaptation to market demands, Seiko starting to substantiate its culture of firsts.

In 1969 the first quartz wristwatch made by Seiko is brought to market - the Seiko Astron 35SQ encased in 18K gold and with a time tolerance of plus or minus only three seconds per month. The first models were sold in Tiffany & Co. - a great leap from the first Seiko wall clocks made in Hattori’s shop.

By 1973 the world’s first LCD quartz watch, boasting a six-digit digital display was pioneered by Seiko, followed by the world’s first multi-function digital watch only two years later. In 1982 the first TV watch is introduced, offering at last a television within hand’s reach.

During the following years, Seiko continues to innovate, introducing watches based on such daring concepts as the Kinetic watch – powered solely by the movement of the human body, or the Seiko Thermic - driven by body heat - moving beyond the great leap made between the early Seiko wall clocks and the extravagant wristwatches that established Seiko as a leading clockmaker.

These is What Fascinates Me With Wall Clocks

April 4th, 2009
Muna wa Wanjiru asked: видео онлайн трахают


When I think about wall clocks, I can hear the chiming wall clock from my childhood. What was about it that made me dream? Most probably the fascination of the time teller that always helped me when I got into troubles.

I am a wall clock fan for decorating any house. It’s modern and nostalgic at the same time. You can find decorative wall clocks in handcrafted wood style, that give a touch of warmth to the room: they can be designed in metal to make it trendy, in silver to make it stylish, or in acrylic to make it colorful. I even saw futuristic wall clocks, made from liquids, that brought a very  personal and interesting note to the room.

Do you remember the time when you first learn to tell the time properly? Because we had wall clocks instead of a digital timepiece I think we learned faster. In most schools the wall clock with faces is the remaining time teller, just for this small reason: learning the small ones to read the time.

Wall clocks are functional, but that’s the least of their advantages: they are beautiful or fun. A pendulum wall clock is perfect as a gift for the wedding, it is not like you’d always count the seconds that passed since the happy event. It can nevertheless strike the perfect hour at the 50th anniversary: the golden wedding. 

When I think about funky wall clocks I think about neon. A neon clock brings light and modernism to the room, and leaves the mark of the user. On the other hand when considering traditional in wall clocks, the pendulum is the first one to come to my mind.

Collectors may find it interesting to buy the more unusual wall clocks, the unforgettable dancing Elvis Presley clock, the Marilyn Monroe clock, Felix the Cat and his moving eyes clock.

The majority of the wall clocks I’ve seen are easy to hang and efficient when it comes to saving energy, besides the ones that need special attention, as antique wall clocks. Among the average models, there are ones that seem intelligent, they automatically switch from Standard Time to Daylight Savings Time, and back again as necessary, so they don’t require any attention from the user.

One of the most popular and modern design when it comes to wall clocks is the one that is able to check time throughout the day via radio frequencies; afterwards it would reset  to the proper time, as it may be the case.

Wall Clocks - Using Large Wall Clocks to Decorate your Empty Walls

April 1st, 2009
Ron Cambria asked:


Sometimes nothing looks good. You and your spouse have been trying for hours but just can’t seem to make that one large wall look like it should. You say, “Model homes do it.” “Why can’t I decorate large spaces.” Really you can with help from an old friend. Today’s large antique reproduction clocks can provide that centerpiece in a sea of blank wall. Large wall clocks have become one of the hottest trends in decorating. Timeworks Incorporated started the latest buzz about antique reproduction clocks that boasted clock faces recreated from actual antique clocks. Starting around 1998 Timeworks introduced many large wall clocks ranging from 23 inch to 31 inches in diameter. Many other companies followed and the big wall clock phenomenon was born. Today it is very easy to find a very attractive rather large clock for one hundred to two hundred dollars.

How does an average homeowner find the right clock? The first step is to review the size of the wall. This is mostly common sense but smaller walls should not have an extra large clock. Large, high ceiling walls do need a larger clock face to make the desired impact. I do have to say that I have seen larger clock faces on smaller walls that look outstanding so, this rule doesn’t always hold true.

This large wall epidemic has really taken hold in the last ten years. Most new houses built have taller ceilings creating large walls that tend to make decor look small. The key to decorating large walls is to decorate with like themes around the chosen clock. Antique reproduction clock faces usually do not mix well with modern d

Kitchen Wall Clock - Tick Tock Tick Tock

March 31st, 2009
Barbara Tobiasz asked: смотреть бесплатно порно девочки скрытая камера эротика


The kitchen wall clock has been around for decades. It is an excellent device for function as well as decorative purposes. Its main function has been to keep meal preparation on time, but it also helps create an inviting relaxing atmosphere.

You can find these clocks in many shapes, finishes, styles, sizes and themes. Some shapes that are offered are rectangular, round, square and novelty shapes. There is also a variety of finishes available. Some examples of these are light and dark wood, ceramic, silver, chrome, brass, plastic, glass and aluminum. Companies offer these clocks with either digital or analog displays and they feature standard, Arabic, Roman numerals or no numbers at all. Some faces on these clocks are large and some have smaller display areas in the center of a larger artful outer area.

You should consider your personality and your kitchen’s style or theme before purchasing one of these clocks. In the market place, you have at your disposal modern, contemporary and traditional styles. You will be able to keep track of time while adding an artful touch to the room. It will give you many years of visual pleasure and can be the focal point of your kitchen.  

Some kitchen wall clocks feature common themes. Through my own searches I have located clocks for the kitchen that are designed as roosters, food and drink, floral or classic. I have discovered that the most popular clock for the kitchen is battery operated. It comes with quartz movement so the time keeping is very accurate.

You can become as creative as you like especially with the many choices that are just waiting for you. When I lived in Arizona I had two kitchens. I had a lot of fun picking out my clocks. The choices I made were of a sun dial and a colorful display of hot Chile peppers. My neighbors always had a great reaction and comment when they stepped into those rooms. I also lived in San Diego for several years. What I missed the most was the hundreds of humming birds that flew by my feeder on a daily basis. This led me to my most recent clock purchase for my kitchen in the home I live in today. It is a large colorful clock with several humming birds all around it. I can actually feel my mood lighten as I’m gazing at it.

You can also personalize or custom design your kitchen wall clock. It also makes for a great gift. My best friend had just bought her first home. I wanted to get her something special. I designed a colorful melamine face in a shape of a plate. I chose a knife and fork for the hands and for the finishing touch I had her name engraved. It read Mel’s Kitchen.

Melanie was delighted and is always telling me it has become the main conversational piece when visitors drop by. You can also use a photo of yourself, child or pet in a clock’s design. As you can see there are endless options when it comes to designing the type of face your kitchen wall clock could possibly end up with. You just have to allow your imagination to run wild.

Remember this is a pleasant and for the most part inexpensive accent for your kitchen decor. So get busy and start searching, for the time is ticking away…

Why Kitchen Wall Clocks Should be Practical Rather Than Decorative

March 29th, 2009
Muna wa Wanjiru asked:


For a classic family, the kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the house; many of the waking hours of the members are spent there. And for the one reason that you have to count the hours or minutes till something happens, kitchen wall clocks will prove very useful and important objects.

If you’re planning to buy a kitchen, do not ignore the choice of special items like kitchen wall clocks that will perfectly fit the design and atmosphere that you have in mind. If you cook a lot, the clock will need a very large display, so that you can see it even if you are in front of the oven. It should show both the minutes and the seconds to be useful at measuring exact periods of time.

The main objective of kitchen wall clocks is that of being practical rather than decorative. This is the first one to look at when cooking or when someone asks the time, and even if there are other clocks around – like that from the microwave – they are too little to catch one’s eye.

Kitchen wall clocks can be chosen so as to match the design of the furniture and the atmosphere of the house: you may choose from wood, metal or ultra-modern kitchen wall clocks. The ticking of a classical clock in the kitchen may seem relaxing as it brings a sense of stability. If it is an electronic, more modern one, it’s good even to know it’s there to complete the cozy feeling.

Kitchen wall clocks are a pretty new trend in home decorations: a few decades ago, few households had one, but now things have changed and the market has a pretty rich offer.  That’s why kitchen wall clocks make a perfect gift. If you know the kitchen and at least the style of the house, the buying of the wall clock should be very easy.

The place of the kitchen wall clocks in the room depends on several elements. First of all, such an item has to be located as far from the heat source as possible, particularly if it incorporates an electronic device. Then, it needs to be visible and practical for common usage; you should actually see it from every corner of the room.

The size of kitchen wall clocks is another an important issue when it comes to matching them with the rest of the kitchen. If the clock is large, then it requires more space around it in order to be visible; if it is medium-sized or even small, it can fit in the decor more easily.

Wall Clocks - a Timeless Fascination

March 29th, 2009

Barbara Tobiasz asked:


Who has heard the phrase there is never enough time in the day for all I need to accomplish? Not only have we all heard this saying many times but we have probably said it ourselves. In today’s world people seem to be obsessed with time.  Our lives seem to be ruled by time and the keeper of that time is clocks.

From the beginning humans have searched for a reliable way to keep track of time, from monitoring the phases of the moon or keeping track of the sun and stars for the passing of time. Early on precise timekeeping devises included the hourglass, indexed candles that burned at a fixed rate and water powered devises.

There is a timeless fascination with time keeping and clocks from ancient times. These clocks from long ago are still mimicked today, but use modern technologies for their working mechanism.

There is not a home in the U.S. today that a wall clock does not adorn the walls. Whether it be custom made or store bought, the wall clock livens up our spirits and surroundings. No matter what design theme you have, you will find a wall clock that suits your personality and decor. These clocks are functional, practical and extremely decorative.

Wall clocks are generally offered in two types of movement; a mechanical key wound or a quartz movement clock. The key wound wall clocks are mechanical timepieces that are powered or driven with either weights that hang or with springs. These types need to be wound with a key to operate. Quality wall clocks offer the attractiveness of a sophisticated timepiece. Many of the features, such as traditional chiming methods, are offered on the electronic versions. Quartz wall clocks require less maintenance and the enclosures are usually constructed with the same quality standards of traditional mechanical clocks.

Most wall clocks run on AA batteries, but most recently some are automatically set to adjust for daylight savings time. More technically advanced clocks receive radio signals from standard global clocks making these as precise and accurate as possible.  

There are a variety of wall clocks available to suit every taste and style. They come in both modern and retro. They can feature different themes such as movies, music, sports, cartoons and celebrities. They also manufacture some clocks specifically for certain rooms of the house such as your kitchen and bathroom. Also available for your choosing is large and small clocks, floral, radio controlled, pendulum, classic, cuckoo, digital, children’s and outdoor wall clocks. They all bring warmth and elegance and come in an assortment of finishes and materials. Some have features that we would have never imagined possible. Depending on your personal taste and budget you can find wall clocks in wood, metal, acrylic, glass, turquoise, slate and stone.

One of the most important factors before purchasing the clock is to decide where you will place it. This will decide if the clock is an accent for the room or the main focal point when you enter the room. The wall clock can become a conversation piece with its visual beauty and sound. There are Grandfather clocks that can be wall mounted and are quartz driven. There are some that are key wound with chime silence options. You can also mount an alarm clock to your wall. I have one that tells the day of the week, month, date and temperature.

The most impressive model that I have found is called a rhythm wall clock. If you have not seen one you will be in for a real treat. These clocks display motion, lights and fantastic sound for your family’s entertainment. They are available in about a dozen different models from contemporary to traditional. This clock will be the talk of the neighborhood. They do have a special feature that is built in so that an automatic night time shut off activates.

Another benefit of the wall clock is they make great gifts. There is one for anybody you might know and for any occasion. They are stylish and functional and can be custom made to your specifications and even logo for that special person.

You can find wall clocks in furniture stores, home decor stores and specialty stores that just sell timepieces. Now you have all the answers and reasons why this is a great piece to place on your walls. So before the clock strikes the next hour don’t hesitate start your search immediately.

A Look at Unusual Wall Clocks That Have Become Masterpieces of Art

March 27th, 2009
Muna wa Wanjiru asked:


Man has been preoccupied with keeping time throughout the existence of civilization itself, and many inventions have been used as a reference for measuring the passage of time. At first, the celestial bodies like the sun and moon, the stars and planets were used to tell the time, and little by little watches, clocks and even unusual wall clocks were built relying on water, mechanical devices, quartz and even atomic energy.

As civilization advanced, more efficient methods of timekeeping were needed, and man evolved from crude devices that could only split the day in halves - before and after noon, to the sophisticated and sometimes unusual wall clocks we have today. A clock must have two basic components: a constant process or action to mark off equal increments of time (such as the movement of the sun in the sky and sand glasses) and a method of keeping track of the increments and displaying the result (the position of the clock’s hands or a digital time display).

But clocks haven’t always been a method of keeping time. They were also used as displays of wealth or status (from huge clock towers with complicated mechanisms and intricate methods of displaying time - manikins which rang bells or gongs - to very complex and accurate small time-pieces which one can wear on the wrist). Some unusual wall clocks can even be considered a form of art today, as it is the case with the ones that are a combination between paintings and timekeeping devices.

These are clocks used mainly for their decorative function rather than their timekeeping capacity, which is somehow astray from the original purpose of the device, although much of modern life depends on precise time telling. You’ll find such unusual wall clocks in the most ***** of places, from children’s rooms, bearing familiar shapes, to modernist offices, with designs so strange sometimes that the definite component of keeping track of the increments is difficult to discern. The abundance of such varied designs has made it almost impossible not to find a clock matching a particular room design.

Clocks today have become ubiquitous, blending in with the urban environment man has built around, keeping track of the passing time, so that life without them would be hard to imagine. Even the most unusual wall clocks fail to stand out because of their timekeeping function to which we have grown so accustomed. It won’t be any time soon that man will outgrow the need for devices that mark the passage of time, always finding more ingenious ways both for counting and for displaying the immutable time valences.

How Contemporary Wall Clocks Reflect a Level of Civilization

March 25th, 2009

Muna wa Wanjiru трахают женщину русское видео порно asked:




In the world of clocks design, contemporary wall clocks have the role of the functional items that reflect a level of civilization in a given space. In many houses the traditional  chiming wall clock is turned off, remaining there just as a decorative element that can create a link with the past, the time being told by the more modern silent one.

What is it that defines contemporary wall clocks? First of all, we read modernity in the design. The modern features are sometimes achieved by using different types of materials like metal, colored fabrics, plastic or figurative combinations of all these . The concept of the time telling item can also be a defining aspect of the contemporary wall clocks.

There are innovative contemporary wall clocks that totally reflect the trends specific to the 21st century; just a look and you will distinguish such a model from other one thousand classic pieces. The element that makes them stand out comes from the fact that artists use their imagination to invent new shapes that reflect modernism in its complexity.

In our furniture shops you’ll always find a small department with contemporary wall clocks that are the proper match for an innovative house design. Why buy such items? Because they’re funny, easy to sell, and because any modern house or office can perfectly integrate one.

The atmosphere of a house or an office can be influenced by the things that show up at the first glance. Contemporary wall clocks with an outstanding design are the ones that can define personal space and bring a certain touch of good taste to the house atmosphere.

Contemporary wall clocks can be very well associated with modern or traditional furniture. In the first case, the clock will be in harmony with all the other things in the house and will make the modern aspect stand out. In the second one, the contemporary wall clocks will give a sense of modernism to a classic or even sober space.

Contemporary wall clocks make perfect gifts. If you go to your best friend’s new house, you can always buy a clock, they’ll love it! Even for an anniversary it’s ok, with the condition to know what the style of the house is. For office buildings contemporary wall clocks can actually send the right business message: “Time is money”. When customizing contemporary wall clocks, write the message on the box not on the clock as such.
