Contrary to popular belief, no Stanley steam car shipped from the factory ever had a steam whistle. In fact the steam whistle is a modern addition to a Stanley. The early cars had reed-trumpet horns on them. These were long, coiled, tapered, brass resonators not unlike a trombone or trumpet with a 4" rubber bulb at the small end. Also inside the small end was a little brass reed kind of like a duck call reed (the same principal that is employed with a clarinet or oboe).

I've heard that there are still words which are the same in Hungarian and Finnish. Apparently, there's a sentence that is exactly the same in both languages, and menas exactly the same thing. can you tell me what that sentence looks like (I speak Finnish so I can understand the words).

Actually, Vikings lived in several countries. These notorious sea raiders and explorers hailed from three Scandinavian homelands: Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The Danes made their mark in the British Isles and along the coastlines of Europe. The Norwegians sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to reach America. And the Swedes traveled up Russian rivers to reach Constantinople and the Orient.

Vikings developed in Scandinavia from the earlier clan-based cultures that formerly lived there. After raiding Europe, many Vikings brought back ideas that changed their culture, making them more like Europeans. By 1050 AD, Viking culture had undergone significant change, especially the conversion of many to Christianity. Afterwards, the descendants of the Vikings called themselves Norwegians, Danes, Swedes or Scandinavians.

Viking burials often used boats like we use caskets today. For the highest status people, large ships were often buried with the dead. Some Vikings preferred to be cremated. But even then, the ashes were buried with artifacts the dead had used in their life, perhaps because the Vikings believed they could reuse these objects in the next life.

Historians say the Viking Age began in 793 AD with the raid on Lindisfarne monastery in England, and ended in 1066 AD with the defeat of the Viking king Harald by English king Harold.

Yes! It is very important! Your skin can tan - your eyes can't! Federal law requires all tanning salons to supply customers with proper eye protection. This eyewear must meet federal government standards by blocking 99% of UVA and UVB rays. Closing the eyelids or using sunglasses or cotton balls is not adequate protection as the UV rays will easily penetrate these things and continue into the eyes.

Helmets are not required in aircraft registered as Advanced Ultralights but are mandatory for all occupants of aircraft registered as Basic Ultralights.

Yes, yes and yes! Virtually everyone who works here, skier or boarder, wears one. Snowsport helmets are about where bike helmets were 8-10 years ago. Now, everyone wears a bike helmet. Probably 40-50% of the snowriders on the mountain are wearing helmets and nearly 100% of the kids. Ski school doesn't mandate a helmet, but makes parents sign an extra release if their kids don't wear one. We particularly recommend helmets for kids and beginning snowboarders.

The Vikings were a seafaring people living along the long coast of the Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Norway and Sweden) between 750 and 1050 AD. The term Viking more specifically refers to the part-time warrior/raiders who left their homelands and plundered the riches of France, England and other parts of Europe.

The Vikings played a lot of card and board games, especially during the winter. One of the games Vikings used to play is a board game called Hnefatafl which means "king's board or game" in Old Norse. This chess-like game of strategy simulated a Viking raid and the object of the game was to trap the King's piece.

Until the 1960s, scholars had no evidence other than the sagas that proved Vikings had reached North America. However, the discovery of Viking house foundations and artifacts at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, Canada offers proof that Vikings did, in fact, reach North America 1000 years ago!

That, and any other head covering they could find, stylish, uncouth, or whatever. This was before sunscreen was invented.

I have Versace and Halston under my employ. Of the still-earthbound, I prefer Manolo Blahnik, despite the association with that horrid Carrie Bradshaw character. Come to think of it, I adore the entire fashion world. It's so amusing to see such mundane items as shoes and handbags create vicious stampedes and crippling debt.

Yes! Your feet get cold too even if you don’t notice it. Often your body will rob heat from the core to warm your extremities so keeping your hands and feet warm will make you feel warmer overall. In addition, the socks or boots installed on your drysuit were sized so you can wear thick insulation on your feet. If you do not wear insulation, the feet of your suit may seem too big. Layering is great alternative to buying a new base undergarment.
